Our New Year’s Eve show will be a special hour, as we skip the news and get right into a look back at the year that was, and a look ahead to 2015. It’s a year-end talk story session with a focus on tech and science. And we’d love to hear from you. To get the conversation going we’ve invited a couple of guests to join us, Sen Glenn Wakai, chair of the Economic Development and Technology Committee; and Brian Dote, Chief Innovation Office at Mid Pacific Institute.
