With all the time we now spend watching online video, who’s got a few spare minutes to keep up with science news? Now you don’t have to choose. Introducing “Grand Unified Weekly,” Slate V’s new series that harvests the wheat grass of news from the lab and distills it into a power-boost shot directly to your desktop.

As the name of the series suggests, hosts Christie Nicholson and John Pavlus, along with our producing partners at Small Mammal Productions, will bring you a new episode each week. You can watch them at Slate V or on the slick new video player you’ll now find on most Slate pages.
We’d love your feedback on the show. Send your thoughts to slatev@slate.com.
