About Nova ScienceNow
From the award-winning producers of Nova comes Nova ScienceNow, the fast-paced, innovative, and entertaining science program featuring timely science and technology stories along with biographical profiles of science personalities on the cutting edge of their fields. The program is hosted by Neil DeGrasse Tyson, well-known astrophysicist and author, described by Time magazine as "the Carl Sagan of the 21st century."
The quest to extend human life is examined. The report ponders lessons from a still-running 1966 Volvo (with 2.7 million miles on it); checks on scientists seeking to create an organ-transplant system that uses custom-grown organs.
