About The Academic Minute

The Academic Minute features professors from top institutions around the world, delving into topics from the serious to the light-hearted, keeping listeners abreast of what's new and exciting in the academy. You'll enjoy topics ranging from updates on groundbreaking scientific research to an explanation of the accidental discovery of chocolate and an analysis of how social media is transforming the workplace.

The Academic Minute, hosted by Dr. Lynn Pasquerella, President of Mount Holyoke College, features a different professor every day, drawing experts from institutions within WAMC's listening area, such as Mount Holyoke College and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and beyond, from places like The University of Texas at Austin, The University of Notre Dame, Columbia University, and the universities of Cambridge, Reading and Warwick in the United Kingdom.

The Academic Minute airs each weekday at 7:37 a.m and 3:56 p.m. Make The Academic Minute your 'aha!' moment of the day.

The Theme: The Academic Minute opens with a selection by WAMC contributor and renowned cellist Yehuda Hanani, who appears on Classical Music According to Yehuda during WAMC's Roundtable program. The piece is Bach's Suite No. 2 in D Minor.

Production support for The Academic Minute comes from Newman's Own Foundation in partnership with Mount Holyoke College.
