| 6/10/26 | ![]() Biosecurity in the Era of Science Fiction: AIxBio and Project Paraphrase with Bruce Wittmann | It seems like every week there's another headline about a breakthrough in AIxBio: the intersection of artificial intelligence and biological science. AI is being applied to accomplish feats that sound like science fiction. It's being used to control laboratories, connect with our brains, and even create new viruses. But is there a lesson to be learned in science fiction? In this episode, host Shane Reader calls up Bruce Wittmann, Principal Applied Scientist at Microsoft, to discuss how AI-powered biological tools work, the ways they're being applied in biological research, and what he did when he discovered a biological "zero day" vulnerability that could have potentially empowered bad actors.

| 5/12/26 | ![]() Implementing Semiconductor Industrial Policy with Speed | The CHIPS and Science Act was among the most ambitious pieces of industrial policy legislation in decades, allocating tens of billions of dollars towards building domestic capacity for semiconductor manufacturing and reducing reliance on foreign supply chains. While passing the bill was a monumental feat, implementing the policy is a whole separate challenge. In this episode, host Angela Cleri speaks with Mike Schmidt, the former Director of the CHIPS Program Office to talk about the challenges and successes of executing large-scale industrial policy within systems of government that are not designed to move fast.

| 6/20/24 | ![]() Reclaiming Heritage as a Mixtec Scholar: A Conversation with Dr. Omar Aguilar | In this episode, AAAS STPF fellow Jose Hurtado sits down with Dr. Omar Aguilar, a Mixtec archaeologist from Oaxaca, to discuss his innovative approach to science communication through the lens of his film "Sacred Skins." Dr. Aguilar shares his journey of reappropriating Mixtec heritage and language, the challenges of balancing academic research with community ownership, and the powerful impact of reclaiming indigenous knowledge systems. Join us as we explore how alternative methods can bridge cultural gaps and foster a deeper understanding of the rich history of the Ñuu Savi people. The co-founder of Colectivo Nchivi Ñuu Savi (People of the Community of the Rain), Dr. Aguilar is also the director of the digital project "Códices Mixtecos." Additionally, he directs the Ñuu Savi Culture and Language project within The Americas Research Network (ARENET). Dr. Aguilar is also a founding member of the Universidad Autónoma Comunal de Oaxaca (UACO) and has been a member of Mexico's National System of Researchers since 2022. He has received numerous accolades, including the 2016 INAH Award, the National Youth Award in 2019, and the 2021 INAH Award for his doctoral dissertation. He also conceptualized and co-created the app Códices Mixtecos. | — | ||||||
| 6/20/24 | ![]() Navigating AI Policy and Ethics with Dr. Ravit Dotan | In this podcast, we explore the rapidly evolving landscape of AI policy and ethics with Dr. Ravit Dotan. With AAAS STPF fellow Jose Hurtado, the two begin by discussing how AI policy has become a major topic in recent headlines, sharing insights on the importance of integrating ethics into AI development and policymaking. They delve into the challenges federal agencies and organizations face in defining AI and how existing laws can be adapted to cover AI advancements, and further address concerns about the dominance of organizations with extensive computing. Towards the end of the conversation, Dr. Dotan chats about the future of computer science and software engineering jobs, in light of AI advancements, emphasizing that addressing job displacement is a crucial part of AI ethics. Overall, this podcast underscores the pressing need for strategic and ethical approaches to AI policy and development, highlighting the critical role of clear definitions, inclusive practices, and proactive regulation.

| 2/13/24 | ![]() "But Does It Change Anything?": A Conversation with Dr. Irma McClaurin on Science, Policy and Writing to Change the World | "Change minds, change hearts, change behavior, achieve transformation." That's bio-cultural anthropologist Dr. Irma McClaurin's motto and through writing and science communication, she's been able to achieve that. STPF alum Saira Mehmood and current STPF fellow Meryleen Mena, both anthropologists, have a conversation with Irma McClaurin, who is also an STPF alum, about her time in the fellowship and her dynamic career as an engaged anthropologist in both government and academia. The three also chat about the power of the pen and Dr. McClaurin's public writing, which has appeared in numerous publications, such as Ms. Magazine. Dr. McClaurin is a Black feminist trailblazer and founder of the Irma McClaurin Black Feminist Archives at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, was recently featured in the PBS documentary "Zora Neale Hurston: Claiming Space," and is a champion of science communication. She regularly leverages her expertise in the social construction of inequality to share knowledge to academic and non-academic audiences, and she currently sits on the board of the Op-Ed project.

| 8/17/23 | ![]() Science Helps Us… Bring Nations Together | In the third episode in our "Science Helps Us…" series, we explore how hydrologic science can help bring people to the negotiation table. Water is a resource that defies political boundaries – managing it effectively can serve as a catalyst to international diplomacy. Our three guests highlight the important role that science plays in the shifting landscape of water diplomacy. We discuss science translation, the value of ensuring diverse voices have a seat at the table, and why all data are – to some extent – inherently political.

| 7/26/23 | ![]() Science Helps Us… Imagine the Future | In the second episode in our "Science Helps Us…" series, we explore the ways that science shapes the ways we tell stories – and how it helps make those stories a reality. Our guests, Brian Johnson and Rebekah Brubaker, put the "science" back into science fiction by convening the gold-star standard of science paneling at one of the largest comic cons in the country: Phoenix Fan Fusion. We discuss the benefits of the comic con format as a vehicle for science engagement, tips for budding science communicators, and why Ross from Friends is an unexpected role model for scientist representation in the media. Plus, guest spots from STPF Fellows and alumni who featured as panelists at this year's Fan Fusion!

| 4/19/23 | ![]() Careers in STEM Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion | STEM careers have historically been performed by and for populations that do not represent the complete spectrum of unique lived experiences. In recent years however, the STEM community has been experiencing a sort of renaissance for diversity, equity, and inclusion -- or DEI. Efforts to address inequities in who participates in STEM and in who benefits from its advancements are becoming common talking points, but the breadth of resources, new initiatives, and think pieces can make knowing how to participate in these efforts as a scientist daunting or confusing. To weigh in on the challenges, successes, and future of DEI in STEM, we invited a panel of trained scientists who have integrated DEI into their scientific careers in different ways: STPF fellow Trenell Mosley, Juliet Johnston, and Bailey Duhé.

| 3/22/23 | ![]() Climb Every Mountain | When most of us think of "scientists," we envision someone in a lab coat huddled behind a lab bench. AAAS STPF fellow Alexandra "Ali" Giese defies this stereotype – her work with glaciers has taken her all over the world, from the Himalayas to the Greenland ice sheet. It has also taught her the culture and importance of glaciers and mountains. Ali chats with host Reshmina William, telling the story of how she turned her "obsession with ice" into a career in climate science and of the international community she has befriended along the way.
