PNAS Science Sessions

Booking Overview

This is a short-form science interview podcast focused on research published in PNAS and related scientific discoveries, typically featuring researchers, National Academy members, and policymakers. Agencies could credibly pitch academic scientists, public-health experts, and science-policy professionals with significant peer-reviewed research or relevant institutional leadership; booking difficulty is medium because guests generally need a strong connection to timely, publication-backed scientific work.
