For the second year running, Up To Date has invited presenters from TEDxKC to fill us in on their work. This year, we were joined by a multidisciplinary artist who finds creative ways to make sense of the data that surrounds us all, a sexual health advocate who developed software that makes reporting and tracking sexual violence less risky, and a Kansas City research biologist who is investigating tiny, regenerating flatworms.

When I host Up To Date each morning at 9, my aim is to engage the community in conversations about the Kansas City area’s challenges, hopes and opportunities. I try to ask the questions that listeners want answered about the day’s most pressing issues and provide a place for residents to engage directly with newsmakers.
