You Tell Me
Dr. Kiki’s Science Hour just reached its one year anniversary… yay!!!
What do I do now?
Well, I’d love you to tell me. What have you enjoyed about the show over the past year? What are its strong points? What would you like to see more of? Who would you like me to interview? Is there anything I should change?
All these questions, and more, I am asking of you since this show is for you.
To answer these questions and leave comments for me, you can do several things:
- send me an email (drkiki at drkiki dot tv),
- leave a comment here,
- send me a video message through youtube, or
- call me and leave me a message (yup, I’m giving you a phone number… 650-741-KIKI).
I will play and read your responses on Dr. Kiki’s Science Hour tomorrow afternoon. This anniversary is about you.
I want to make Dr. Kiki’s Science Hour even better this year, and I would love your help to make it happen.

One of the books that the TWIS book club read this year was Don’t Sleep, There Are Snakes: Life and Language in the Amazonian Jungle
In the book, Dr. Everett tells the story of his years spent in the amazon jungle studying the language of a small tribe of Indians. There are ups and downs, thrills and spills throughout, but the most important part of the story is the language and how it changed the Dr.’s life forever.
You would be amazed at everything Dr. Everett went through in the name of science. I know I was when I read the book.
Even more amazing was getting to speak with him on the Science Hour. See for yourself…

A few weeks ago, I wrote about Ada Lovelace, and the challenges and successes of women in science. On Ada Lovelace Day, I spoke with … from the Association for Women in Science about, yes, you guessed it… women in science.
It was a fabulous conversation, and I do believe that we did, indeed, celebrate the women in the field. And, really, I think that is the key to continued success these days. People are not responsive to whining about problems. People want to feel hopeful, to see positive role-models, be given next steps they can take themselves, and to know that their actions can make a difference.
If you are a female success in science or technology, get out there! Tell people about yourself, and don’t be afraid to do it. People want to know how you got to where you are.
Be a model for future generations of women in science by living successfully yourself.
Anyway, here is the show. Check it out:
