Living Lab is intelligent conversation at the intersection of science and culture. Host Dr. Heather Goldstone is keenly interested in the connections between science, art, religion, and culture. Living Lab explores those themes with scientists, authors, artists, educators, and, of course, listeners.

Living Lab runs 48 minutes, intended to fill a one-hour slot with two floating internal breaks, plus station I.D. and news headlines at the top of the hour. The show broadcasts weekly and is posted on Tuesday of each week.
