Chronicles of a Science Experiment
The stories of science are those of people, with ups and downs, and once in a while, maybe once in a lifetime, a discovery that can change everything.
Ten episodes of EarthSky’s Chronicles of a Science Experiment are being produced in late 2008 and the first half of 2009. These episodes follow Aaron Strickland, a Fellow of the National Science Foundation Discovery Corps and post-doctoral chemist at Cornell University. Strickland’s research project is in nanotechnology, the science of the very small.
EarthSky wishes to thank Aaron Strickland, National Science Foundation Discovery Corps Fellow and Cornell University chemist. Jorge Salazar of EarthSky is the host. Carl Batt of Cornell created the concept for this podcast series. We hope you enjoy it!
