KPR starts program focusing on KU research

Kansas Public Radio in November will launch “Research Minute,” a weekly series spotlighting Kansas University research.

The program will air at 2:58 p.m. Mondays, before “All Things Considered,” and at 6:58 a.m. Saturdays before “Weekend Edition.” KU research writer Brandis Griffith will be host.

The first program will air Monday.

The programs will cover research in science, engineering, humanities, education, social sciences and life sciences.

KPR, licensed to KU, broadcasts on KANU 91.5 FM in Lawrence.

KPR also can be heard on KPR’s Web site, http://kpr.ku.edu.
