[Sci-tech-public] Biobanking, Audiophiles, Peak Water and X-Prize explored on WIRED SCIENCE

[David Kaiser]

Hi, all,

Some of you might have noticed that PBS has launched yet another 
science-related series on TV this season; this newest offering is 
co-sponsored by Wired Magazine, and (as befits such partnership) is 
even more glitzy and slick than NOVA has been, for better or worse. 
The sixth episode of "PBS Wired Science" will air this Wednesday 
evening, 7 November, on PBS at 8pm.  It features brief segments on 
several topics of potential interest to us STS types: "biobanking," 
"audiophiles," "peak water," and the "X-prize," the last of which is 
scheduled to include yours truly as one of many talking heads.  (I 
haven't seen any rough edits of this one, so I don't know much about 
it.)  If you find yourself sitting around Wednesday night with not 
much to do, tune in; and if you miss it, you can find the episode 
on-line after it airs at:

Hope you're all doing well --
best,
Dave
