About the DNA Files
Advisors
SoundVision consults a team of esteemed scientists and other experts as advisors throughout the development of our radio programs and Web content. Beyond assisting in setting series scope and overall issues to be addressed, they help us:
- Maintain standards of balance, fairness and accuracy;
- Avoid common mistakes such as oversimplification, false dichotomies, inappropriate analogies or just plain missing the point;
- Translate specialized terms and concepts of the various disciplines into the common parlance of the public radio audience; and
- Ensure that we effectively communicate the core ideas of the project.
