Natural History, Feb, 2007

The next time you assume that teenagers with the tell-tale wires hanging down from their ears are zoning out to the latest band on their iPods, think again. They might just be pondering the legacy of Charles Darwin's voyage on the Beagle or learning the secret sticking power of a gecko's toes.

That's because the American Museum of Natural History, in collaboration with Science & the City, the online newsletter of the New York Academy of Sciences, is now posting its world-class educational content in free podcasts.

Podcasting, downloading audio files to a portable player or personal computer, expands the Museum's reach by providing access to lectures, panel discussions, and other educational programs.

Just visit www.amnh.org/podcast, where you will find a list of podcasts by noted scientists and authors on everything from the 1906 San Francisco earthquake to biodiversity in New York City, the thrill of whale watching to what motivates someone to spend their life studying snakes.
