Science Face to Face
A series of one on one interviews between Science Friday® radio host Ira Flatow and renowned scientists from across the United States. This series of conversations will take a more personal look at the life of accomplished scientists. These events will be free and held on college campuses in the New York area so that students who are exploring the idea of a career, or life, in science can be face-to-face with the scientists shaping and exploring the modern world, and so that young people have the opportunity to ask the questions they care about.
On September 23, 2009 join Ira Flatow in a discussion with cosmologist and theoretical physicist Dr. Lawrence M. Krauss.
