Kirsten Sanford

Host/Producer, Food Science

Kirsten Sanford, PhD (aka Dr. Kiki) - Whether food, physics, or physiology, Dr. Kiki Sanford has been fascinated by science for as long as she can remember. More importantly she loves to talk about it and share her discoveries with others. Number one among them: that science is fun! Since 1998 she has hosted and produced her own radio show/podcast called This Week in Science. In 2006, she worked as a producer for the 5 o’clock medical news segment on WNBC-TV in New York City, and she is currently developing several short science programs specifically for the internet. In her spare time, Dr. Kiki hoola hoops (with fire), and enjoys yoga and martial arts. She earned a PhD in physiology from UC Davis for her study of spatial learning and memory in birds.
