Science in the News is a free seminar series for the public that explains and discusses today's hottest scientific topics without the hype or exaggeration often introduced in media coverage. Now in its 6th year, this program is run entirely by graduate students from the Harvard Medical School community. We assume no prior scientific knowledge, and this has allowed us to attract a diverse audience from all walks of life. In these podcasts, we will present our complete seminar series, so you can listen to them if you can't make it in person! Check out our website at http://www.sitnboston.org/ for more information.
