This grant provides three years of support to Science Friday, the only regular weekly, two-hour slot on public radio devoted to all things science — high quality, fact-checked science.  Science Friday’s Sloan-supported programming targets the fertile intersection between science and the arts and has resulted in a recurring feature called SciArts that brings the two cultures closer via live interviews and call?ins, as well as podcasts, special events and multimedia blogs. Award?winning host Ira Flatow and new co-host Flora Lichtman have made the show a magnet for filmmakers, playwrights, authors, musicians, sculptors, painters and digital artists who engage with science.  Grant funds support the production of 30 new SciArt segments a year, or 90 segments over three years, reaching over two million people each week. The segments will also be adapted and published to Science Friday’s YouTube channel. In addition, Science Friday will hold a Monthly Book Club that reaches close to 50,000 committed listeners and work with libraries, publishers and local book clubs to expand listenership and uptake. They will also resume a dozen live events across the country on their traveling road show and begin a science series titled Picture of the Week on Instagram that reaches almost 70,000 people. Finally, they will continue their Science Goes to the Movies newsletter.
