WXDU News, Sports, and Information Sunday 1/3 6:00-8:00 p.m.

Up first at 6:00 is The Endless Frontier, WXDU's own science show. Tonight's episode continues year-end coverage of the top science news of 2015. Tune in for a recap of Nature magazine's 10 most important people in science, as well as a discussion of the improvements to CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing, the development named Breakthrough of the Year by Science magazine.

Then at 6:30, With Good Reason profiles the Mexo-Americana band David Wax Museum in an episode titled “Where Did You Come From?” This episode is named after the opening track on Watching the Nighttime Come, an album featuring lullabies by Suz Slezak, one of the members of David Wax Museum. Suz joins Sarah McConnell along with band member David Wax to discuss the challenges they've faced on the road. The episode also explores achieving balance, with an interview with Miriam Liss and Holly Schiffrin, authors of Balancing the Big Stuff: Finding Happiness in Work, Family and Life.

On this week's show, Martin covers Duke women's basketball conference play after Sunday's game against Syracuse, plus a recap of the team's last two home games, with postgame comments from coaches and players. He'll also have the latest men's basketball news, as the Blue Devils began conference play with a game against Boston College yesterday. WXDU's Joe Stevens also has a recap of the men's at-home victories over Elon and Long Beach State last week. Martin follows up with a brief recap of the first Bowl victory for Duke football since 1961 in their win over Indiana in the Pinstripe Bowl.
