The Academic Minute is a two-and-a-half minute daily module which features researchers from colleges and universities around the world, keeping listeners abreast of what’s new and exciting in the academy. A different professor is featured each day and you’ll enjoy updates on groundbreaking research and how it helps us better understand the world around us.
The segment 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.
