To all who missed the live broadcast of the interview with E.O. Wilson, I'll be replaying it for the duration of my show this evening. It was truly an honor to get to chat with such a bright and charismatic mind. I hope all who are available can attend his lecture tonight at the IMU at 7:30.
See you then!

EO Wilson, in the house
All,
KRUI is uber-pleased to announce that we've got an hour-long student forum with 2 time Pulitzer Prize winner E.O. Wilson. In addition to being a Professor at Harvard and a Fellow of the Committee on Skeptical Inquiry, Dr. Wilson is considered by all to be the father of sociobiology. My favorite quote of his, referring to ants, is "Karl Marx was right, socialism works, it is just that he had the wrong species."
Click here for his biography on Wikipedia.
The interview will air Live at Noon tomorrow, Wednesday Feb. 11th. If things go as planned, I'll re-run the interview again over the 5:00 hour during my regular show time.
Make sure you tune in tomorrow at Noon or at 5:00 to hear Dr. Wilson speak.

Upcoming Shows
Greetings All!
This semester is already looking stacked for shows. I've spoke with a number of outstanding people here at the University of Iowa who are excited to come on the air and talk about science. The short list includes:
UI President Sally Mason. Only Science will be having its first Only Science Biography, and who better than the woman on top herself? We'll be talking about her days studying zoology and how she got through grad school to become a developmental biologist. Needless to say, we're pretty excited that she's sharing her time with us.
Professors Steve Kuusisto and Edwin Stone. This duo has been shaking up the scene of disabilities advocacy since Steve arrived on campus in 2007. Kuusisto, blind since birth, is a renowned poet and professor of english and has appeared on NPR, Oprah, and Only Science about life without sight. Stone, a professor of ophthalmology & visual sciences at the UI as well as a Howard Hughes Medical Investigator, researches the genetic basis of blinding eye diseases, and has discovered many of the mutations responsible for common and rare disorders.
UI neurophilosophers David Rudrauf and Kenneth Williford. Rudrauf, director of the Neuroimaging Lab at Iowa, has investigated the neural basis of many cognitive functions, such as addiction. In combination with WIlliford, visiting research faculty in the Department of Philosophy, they are studying the structure of the brain, and ultimately what structures give rise to the perception of consciousness.
Details will follow soon on when these amazing folks will be speaking on air. Tune in every Wednesday at 5PM to hear about the latest news in science at the U and around the globe.
For Science,
Erik
