The latest episode of American Scientist's science-for-all podcast, DEAI ComSci (for Diversity, Equity, Accessibility, and Inclusion), discusses how science fiction films and television promote science curiosity. Hear from science communication practitioners and scholars Reyhaneh Maktoufi, Thomas DeFrantz, and Stephanie Castillo in conversation with podcast producer Jordan Anderson. The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has captured beautiful images that expand our understanding of the universe. Learn about the technology behind the telescope and hear details about its early discoveries in this podcast conversation in which Nobel laureate John Mather, astrophysicist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center and JWST's senior project scientist, talks with senior consulting editor Corey S. Powell. This year marked the centennial of Sigma Xi's Grants in Aid of Research (GIAR) program, which supports undergraduate and graduate student research projects. Editor in chief Fenella Saunders interviewed past GIAR recipients who went on to become leaders in their fields. The researchers describe how the award boosted their knowledge and skills, and how their careers have progressed in the intervening years. Many of these interviews have appeared in the First Person section of the magazine, but those QAs just scratch the surface. Check out the extended podcast interviews with the GIAR recipients on our website.
