This week, we welcome longtime NPR science correspondent Joe Palca ’74. Since joining NPR in 1992, Palca has covered a variety of science topics, from biomedical research to astronomy. He is currently focused on the eponymous series, “Joe's Big Idea.” In a discussion recorded last fall, prior to the coronavirus pandemic, he talks about, among other things, the challenges and responsibilities of explaining scientific research to the general public and the vital importance of scientific literacy in today’s world.
