UD professor Mark Bowden to be interviewed on NPR's Fresh Air with Terry Gross tonight.

The segment is titled "The Worm That Could Bring Down the Internet", and this is the blurb:

As many as 12 million computers worldwide have been infected with a highly encrypted computer worm called Conficker. Writer Mark Bowden details how Conficker was discovered, how it works, and the ongoing programming battle to bring down Conficker in his book Worm: The First Digital World War.

Tonight (Tuesday) at 7pm on 90.9 WHYY.

If you're not familiar with Fresh Air with Terry Gross, or with national public radio, for that matter, you really should get to know it.  Listen to it when you're on some ungodly long drive between Philly and Wilmington, say, and you're sick of hearing the same songs on the radio.  It's not for everyone - it puts my husband to sleep, for instance - but you catch some really fascinating interviews and news items if you listen long enough.  The Fresh Air show airs every day at 3pm and 7pm, but there are plenty of other programs worth tuning into - This American Life, Radio Times with Marty Moss-Coane, You Bet Your Garden on Saturday mornings, Car Talk... I guarantee that you will find at least one show you enjoy listening to more than yet another Steve Miller song on WMGK.
