Science Friday (SciFri) is a weekly call-in talk show that is part of National Public Radio's Talk of the Nation radio program.[1][2] SciFri is hosted by Ira Flatow with Joe Palca stepping in when Flatow is away. The focus of each two-hour program is nature, science, and technology and the news and information. SciFri was created when the National Science Foundation agreed to fund a weekly science talk-show on NPR. After the Gulf War in 1991, NPR created a daily talk show called Talk of the Nation, and incorporated Science Friday into it.
The program's slogan is “Making Science RadioActive.”
SciFri also broadcasts excerpts from the annual Ig Nobel Prize ceremony on the Friday after Thanksgiving.[3]
Science Friday is now also available in a podcasting format, and welcomes bloggers to its web site.
