2009 marks 150 years since the publication of Darwin's On the Origin of Species, and 200 years since his birth. It's also the 400th anniversary of Galileo's first use of a telescope to study the skies and the publication of Johannes Kepler's first two Laws of Planetary Motion. In this segment, Ira talks with M. Lee Allison, one of the organizers of a 'Year of Science' celebrating scientific methods and discoveries.
