Renalt commented on Nova ScienceNow on 09.10.11 Is there any way for us to watch these series online? Im particularly interested in any sort of shows about physics and the universe. Nova has always had some great shows. a href="http//www.bottledhcgdiet.com/"HCG diet plan/a
Donna commented on Nova ScienceNow on 03.09.11 Nova Science Now Wonderful program on animal intelligence. I really enjoyed seeing the diversity of animals with multiple types of cognitive skills. My sixteen year old son claims to hate biology in favor of physics and so this is one way that I can get him to see the importance of bio. Make learning interesting and everything changes! The program also conveys a very important humanitarian message.
Video enhanced my reading about this in National Geographic as well as Irene Pepperbergs book on Alex I loved finally seeing him on film. Thanks again Well Done. I stay on top of my representatives to keep the funding alive from Washington.
Carla commented on Nova ScienceNow on 01.03.11 I do not understand how to get a program from early morning today about health, done by a woman. She talked about parasites and bacteria, fungus and other health issues getting worse here.
