Wilson Interview Replayed
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!
Erik
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.
Erik

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

Podcast / Thank You!
Only Science and KRUI would like to thank you for tuning in this semester!
Click on the video below to hear the podcast! I'll try to get a more compatible version up and running.....
Thanks to Lily Pappas, Lawrence De Geest and Nathan Dengle for their voices, time and effort, as well additional input and help from Paul, Grandpa Red, Mike, and KyGuy, my relatives in Sweden for sending me weird facebook application invites, Chris for his biblical prowess, my parents, for a week in an exotic land to map the idea for the Extravaganza, Scott “the Godfather of Rock and Roll” Nielsen, and all of my dedicated listeners out there you know who you are, without you, this show wouldn’t be afloat. Thanks to all the guests who appeared on Only Science this semester, you make me sound good. Hope we all stay warm this Holiday Season, and can spend some time with our families, I’ll be rooting the Hawks on in Tampa, I hope you do too. We are 100% on the air next semester, bookmark the webpage thisisonlyscience.blogspot.com for updates and random posts from me, I may become a transient sports journalist on January 1. Once the ball is rolling again, and it rolled quite a bit in the first season with record number downloads, you will be hearing raw, unfiltered Only Science, the way science is supposed to be. We’ve even got plans for a live interactive audience broadcast of the next science fiction thriller in collaboration with the KRUI 25 Years on The Air Celebration. Iowa City and the rest of the world, good luck on finals and have a safe and happy holiday season and thanks for following Only Science.
