"The Subway Series" A Joint Colloquium Between Harvard History of Science and MIT Program in Science, Technology, and Society
The Art of Science Television Paula Apsell Senior Executive Producer, NOVA, and Director of WGBH Science Unit Abstract: Using clips from the internationally acclaimed and award winning NOVA science series, Paula Apsell will discuss the art of science television. How are topics chosen? How does one make difficult material not only accessible but enthralling? How does one educate, entertain, and stimulate creative and critical thinking, all at the same time? And what particular challenges face science journalists and educators today, when scientific and cultural literacy are more at risk than ever in a computer-game-oriented society with literally hundreds of choices at their remote control?
