Science from WGBH
Nova covers a wide spectrum of topics where no two stories are alike — like science itself. Some have a clear conclusion; others are real-life cliffhangers. Some have happy endings; others finish with no easy answers. Unpredictable, unvarnished, and sometimes unimaginable, Nova uncovers the heart of a science story and reveals the essence of why it matters.
Cambridge Science Festival

April 24–May 2, 2010
The Cambridge Science Festival offers science-related activities — lectures, debates, exhibitions, concerts, plays, and workshops. The festival runs over nine days at a variety of locations. Modeled on art, music, and movie festivals, the Cambridge Science Festival spotlights the richness of scientific inquiry and the excitement of discovery.
The festival's collaborators — the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Harvard University, the City of Cambridge, Cambridge Public Schools, Cambridge Public Library, WGBH, and the Museum of Science — aim to ignite the curiosity of to K-12 students, the general public, and the science community.

We're taking requests
We've given you wild-cooking leech biologists, salsa-dancing ethnobotanists, wall-climbing engineers, and monkey-feet-photographing psychologists. Now the Secret Life of Scientists team is ready to take your requests.
Do you know about an accomplished scientist with a great secret life? If so, we'd love to hear all about it. Tell us about your candidates in this post on the Secret Life blog.
Since 1996, Nova has been working with journalists and scientists around the world to put original content online. Today we have more than 30,000 Web pages covering everything from string theory to the evolution of flight to how the pyramids were built.
But it's time for an overhaul so that it will be easier for you to find more of what you're looking for. We are starting out small, creating an online destination for all things related to evolution. It's a chance for us to evolve too, test some new ideas, and get your feedback. Take a look around and tell us what you think.
