A Joint Colloquium Between Harvard History of Science and MIT Program in

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?
