The Kickass Science and Technology Show
This Week in Science (TWIS) is a weekly web and radio show presenting an humorous, often opinionated, and irreverent look at the week in science and technology. In each show, the hosts, Dr. Kiki Sanford, Justin Jackson, and Blair Bazdarich, discuss the latest in cutting-edge science news on topics such as genetic engineering, stem cells, cybernetics, climate change, space exploration, neuroscience, microbiology, and show favorites – Countdown to World Robot Domination and Blair’s Animal Corner.
TWIS broadcasts to thousands of dedicated listeners and viewers each week, and can help you reach the geeks you’re looking for!
