This spring, a new radio program called GirlTalk will begin as a collaboration between the Carnegie Science Center’s Girls, Math & Science Partnership (GMSP) and The Saturday Light Brigade, an award-winning public radio program.

The program will be hosted by girls, ages 11 to 15, with help from the producers of The Saturday Light Brigade, whose studio the girls will be using.

The Carnegie Science Center press release points out that the scientists who will be interviewed will be both established and emerging in their fields.

These scientists come from a wide range of backgrounds, including food chemistry, nanotechnology, and environmental science. In the program, they will talk about their area of expertise and how they are impacting them.

In addition to interviewing Pittsburgh scientists, Stancil said that the girls will be mentored by a number of other professionals. These professionals include the staff of The Saturday Light Brigade and Kate Long from West Virginia public radio.

The interviews will be available as podcasts from www.braincake.org and will debut on air in the summer of 2007, after their kickoff at the Carnegie Science Center.
