That\u2019s not what you\u2019ll hear on <em>Science Friday<\/em>, and see at this special show at Miami. These are people with a passion for learning, a big sense of wonder and a sharp eye on the world around them. They have the courage to challenge the accepted answers. They design creative experiments carefully and carry them out thoroughly. They are tenacious when the work grows tedious, and humble when their ideas don\u2019t work out.<\/p>\n<p>Host Ira Flatow has a degree in engineering, but is known worldwide as a science correspondent and journalist. He has been broadcasting science since 1970 \u2013 the year of the first Earth Day. He started <em>Science Friday<\/em> on NPR in 1991. The show is on 374 public radio stations with 1.8 million listeners every week. He\u2019s also played himself on another hit show, <em>The Big Bang Theory<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><em>Science Friday<\/em> is one of the best ways to promote science to a mass audience. In April, that message will emanate from Miami University. The live show will feature several Miami University researchers in a fun and engaging format. Let\u2019s fill Hall Auditorium and show them how much Miami University loves science.
