science minutes
“Science minutes,” an idea developed by Atlantic Public Media, are short 60-90 second sound-rich portraits about scientists, their work, and its relevance to everyday life. Listening lets you peer into a microscope, glide across the sea floor, or climb into a volcano. Here are a bunch that I produced, which have aired on WCAI, the Cape and Islands NPR station:

Ari, the second piece of music that you played in Hazel Sive’s segment is one of my favorite pieces of music. I really enjoyed that one! All of the music fit perfectly! I just wish it were your voice as the one who says “Another Science Minute”
