Keep Up-to-Date with Podcasts

Keep even more up-to-date on science news by listening to podcasts! Many of the major science journals have weekly or monthly podcasts where they highlight content from the journal, interview scientists and report on what's happening in the scientific community. The NIH has a bimonthly Research Radio podcast covering the lastest research findings. There's even lecture podcasts from universities like Stanford, MIT and UC Berkeley available for free from iTunes U.


You can listen or sign up to the RSS feed for these podcasts through iTunes(for both mac and pc), or other free podcasting software such as Odeo or Juice or by going directly to each website. An advantage of using iTunes or other software is that you can consolidate and update your podcasts in one central place.

Listen to them online, or even better, put them on your ipod or mp3 player. Even listen to them in your car during your commute by hooking up your ipod or mp3 player to your car stereo.
