#104 – Defending science on AM radio: How (or not) to communicate to the public

Lately I've been doing a lot of early-morning AM radio spots in local markets: 700WLW in Cincinnati, WCUB in Wisconsin. I posted "my side" of what these radio hits look like. The prep, the environment, the difficulty of coming up with answers which are do not sound canned. I think science, particularly in the US, needs defenders. I'm just experimenting with the best way to do this and letting you in on the process. Cheers!**Correction: 600 thousand papers per year published in the US; not 600 : )My name is Darren Lipomi, professor and chair, Department of Chemical and Sustainability Engineering, University of Rochester.

#102 – Is A.I. in college courses a force for good or for EVIL? We decide once and for all...i wish

There's a ton of controversy around the use of A.I. in the classroom. The New York Times just published an article effectively saying that indiscriminate dumping of A.I. resources into the California State University system was no good, while at the same time (now Dr.) Robert Ramji and I were teaching using an A.I. tutor based on a book that we ourselves wrote (Intro to Nanoengineering, Royal Society of Chemistry). We found that the results were mixed and the students' engagement with the tutor and their feelings about it were determined by how its use was framed by the instructors. Robert, along with myself and my colleague David Fenning, wrote an article about our experiences with the tutor in Chemistry of Materials. Here, I contrast some of the findings with those of the NY Times article.Robert Ramji, David Fenning, Darren Lipomi: Chemistry of Materials articlehttps://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs.chemmater.6c00883New York Times articlehttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/01/magazine/ai-university-college-california.html?smid=url-shareFirst, please consider supporting my public advocacy for science by purchasing my book, from $9.99 and up, here:https://a.co/d/0akwfp3y Available for free for Spotify subscribers here:https://open.spotify.com/show/3uEY9jOwopxCyZ6DHAFkLE?si=23d46c1752bb419e
