NOW PLAYING:

WXDU News, Sports, and Information Sunday 11/16 from 6:00-8:00

Up first tonight at 6:00 is The Endless Frontier, WXDU's science show. On tonight's episode, the hosts take a look at interdisciplinary research in the sciences. They'll explore the application of chemistry and mathematics in biology and speak with Dr. Amanda Hargrove, a Duke University Biochemistry faculty member and Victoria Deneke, a graduate student studying cell and molecular biology.

Then at 6:30: The spread of Ebola outside of Africa means that the disease has become the topic of international discussion. In Plague After War, With Good Reason's Sarah McConnell discusses what Ebola means for the future of Africa and how disease spreads in impoverished nations. Later in the show, McConnell explores the development of public relations in the 20th Century.

WXDU News is next at 7:00. On tonight's show, we'll look at the issue of gender bias on Wikipedia and how one group is trying to correct the problem. And you are probably aware of the use of drones in government and commercial operations, but many artists are joining the conversation as they incorporate the technology into their work. Artists often use utilitarian items like drones in their artwork, but we'll share how one California artist uses trashcan mosaics to help his commnity. Finally on tonight's program, we'll have the week's weather.

After the news, WXDU Sports is at 7:30. Martin Kang will have updates for college sports at Duke and NCCU, including volleyball, field hockey, football, and men's and women's basketball, and a look at the Carolina Panthers, the Charlotte Hornets, and the Carolina Hurricanes. After that, he'll chat with Seymour Snott of G.O.U.G.E. Wrestling, who spent 15 years on the pro wrestler circuit and 12 years wrestling in the North Carolina circuit. Snott discusses how he got his start in wrestling, winning the North Carolina Heavyweight Championship title, and next week's G.O.U.G.E. Wrestling shows in Durham and Raleigh. After that, producer Aaron Henkin shares the story of the WWF's legendary heel Nikolai Volkoff.
