Radio and TV journalist Ira Flatow produced his first science stories back in 1970 during the inaugural Earth Day. Since then, he has worked for Emmy Award-winning science programs and covered science for a number of high-profile news organizations, and has hosted the popular public radio program “Science Friday” for more than three decades. In his career, Flatow has interviewed countless scientists, journalists and other experts about the most exciting developments in science. Now the Commonwealth Club (with Wonderfest!) welcomes Ira in conversation with local journalists to speak about the role of science writing in the current cultural climate.

Ira’s interviewers: Annalee Newitz, science journalist and co-host of the Hugo Award-winning podcast “Our Opinions are Correct” |  Ezra David Romero, climate and water reporter for KQED news | Naveena Sadasivam, fossil fuel and climate change writer at Grist independent media organization.
