WHAT IS SCIENCE?

Hi all,
Krystle from THIS IS SCIENCE here. I decided to put up this page to finally of get the conceptual portion of my show up and going.

But first off, an introduction! THIS IS SCIENCE is my radio show, first started in Fall 2009, on KUPS 90.1 FM and airing on Mondays and Wednesdays from 10-11 AM. During my show in the world's smallest radio booth, I play a lot of music generally under the alternative label, have one-person dance parties, and sing off-key along to the music.

I've referenced it on the air a few times (in the form of anguish over biochem tests and labs), but I am a super-nerdy science major, namely in molecular and cellular biology. I love every moment of it, and I figured that you know, since I'm sharing another one of my loves with you guys-- music-- why not go the whole way and do science, too?

How this will tie in with the music I am not quite sure of yet, but I think it's a start that two things I love (and hope you will love!) are combined into one. My plan so far though is to share tidbits of really interesting science with listeners in ways that you don't expect.

e.g. Why is it in Legally Blonde that Elle pins that chick in court because she took a shower after getting a perm? Why no showers post-perm? HMMMMMMMMMMM. THIS IS AN ANSWER FOR SCIENCE!

Meanwhile, expect show playlists + science and music-related links up on here. SO KEEP TUNED AND STAY AWESOME.
