HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Radio host Ira Flatow and his “Science Friday” show that airs on many National Public Radio stations have agreed to pay nearly $146,000 to settle civil claims that they misused money from a $1 million grant from the National Science Foundation, federal officials said Tuesday.

Flatow and the show did not admit any wrongdoing, but they agreed to not participate in federal grant programs for one year, in the settlement announced by Connecticut U.S. Attorney Deirdre Daly and Inspector General Allison Lerner of the National Science Foundation.
