NOVA scienceNOW

"NOVA scienceNOW" reports from the frontiers of science and technology. The series, which premiered in January 2005, launched its fourth season on June 30, 2009, with astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson as host. Episodes feature lively science news updates detailing important discoveries and issues -- from stories about hot technology or science subjects to profiles of leading scientists.

The Internet audience can participate via the NOVA scienceNOW Web site, where they can watch entire episodes online and explore companion content, including interactive activities and interviews.

A pod cast with series host Neil Tyson and other correspondents offers brief audio pieces about the most intriguing stories and personalities in science and technology today.
