  • Large warehouse with airplanes in various stages of construction. Caption: Our team supports the triple seven directly.

    Will Roach never pictured himself working for Boeing. However with the help of two STEM degrees, he is now a full-time employee and works as a Production System Build Integrator. He ensures that the building process of the airplanes runs smoothly. Part of the "Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing STEM Professionals" series.

  • A person holding a dog on a leash while someone in a lab coat examines the dog. The dog's ears are back, and the dog looks nervous. Caption: I pay attention quite a bit to how the animals behave.

    Dr. Kimberly Dodge became deaf at the age of eight. She knew she wanted to work with animals by the time she was in eighth grade. Today she is an emergency veterinarian at the Connecticut Veterinary Center. This is a short segment from the "Achieving Goals! Career Stories of Individuals Who Are Deaf and Hard of Hearing: Phenomenal Professionals."

  • Person with a device attached to their head behind and above their ear and a wire leading to a device that is affixed to the back of their ear. Caption: It's called a cochlear implant, and it helps me hear.

    The cochlear implant is widely considered to be the most successful neural prosthetic on the market. The implant, which helps individuals who are deaf perceive sound, translates auditory information into electrical signals that go directly to the brain, bypassing cells that don't serve this function as they should because they are damaged. Led by engineer Pamela Bhatti at the Georgia Institute of Technology, a team of researchers at both Georgia Tech and the Georgia Regents University created a new type of interface between the device and the brain that could dramatically improve the sound quality of the next generation of implants.

  • Blurry city in background. Hearing.

    Technology and science are working to restore, replace, and supercharge the powerful human sense of hearing. Meet a man who is blind whose hearing is so acute that he can navigate a bicycle by the sound of the echo of a click. This episode also highlights some of the advances made in hearing aids and work being done by researchers to use sound to improve cognition and memory during sleep. Part of the “Human + The Future of Our Senses” series.

  • Drawing of a human torso and head with a cross section of the chest removed to show the human heart and lungs. Caption: It has been seen as the site of our emotions,

    The heart is the most symbolic organ of the human body. Across history, it has been seen as the source of emotions and the center of human existence. However, by the seventeenth century, scientific understanding overturned historical ideas, and the heart was recognized merely as a mechanical pump. More recently, Professor David Paterson from the University of Oxford has been doing extensive research that challenges this view. He has discovered that the heart has millions of specialized neurons just like those that are in the brain. Neurons are the cells that give humans the ability to think. So what does their presence in the heart mean?

  • A sliver of glowing sun is seen over a horizon of water. Caption: a weak sun now rises over the marshlands of eastern England.

    This program from the acclaimed PBS Nature series, "Forces of the Wild," focuses on how the movements of the sun and moon create powerful rhythms which influence all living things on Earth: tides rise and fall, seasons change, creatures breed or migrate, and humans plant crops and celebrate holidays. Narrated by James Earl Jones.

  • Closeup of terraced moss on a hillside with water dripping from it. Caption: early land plants most likely lived in moist environments.

    The conquest of land by plants and their proliferation is an biologic story. This video highlights the evolution of plants, while also describing the major groupings of modern-day plants. Concepts and terminology include: chloroplasts, photosynthetic pigments, cell wall, green algae, nonvascular plants, vascular plants, gymnosperm, angiosperm, alteration of generations, Bryophyta, Hepaticophyta, Anthocerotophyta, Pteridophyta, Lycophyta, Sphenophyta, Psilotophyta, Coniferophyta, Cycadophyta, Gnetophyta, Ginkgophyta, and Anthophyta.

  • A roughly tear-drop shaped object with a thin outer layer, a wider middle layer, and a central space. Caption: A gastrula is an embryo made of three cell layers.

    This video outlines the complementary nature between structure and function. Students will observe specific animals that have structures geared towards a particular function. Topics covered include the structures and processes animals use involved in breathing, eating, passing waste, and moving. Part of the "Biology" series.

  • Lava spewing from a crack in the Earth's surface. Caption: for scientists from the Hawaii Volcano Observatory

    Photographers and scientists try to explain their fascination with volcanoes and earthquakes. Focuses not on the geological causes, but on how and why these phenomena are photographed and studied. Uses actual footage and closeups for impact. James Earl Jones narrates.

  • Alligator in grass. Caption: for a population and genetics survey of alligators.

    David Ray never turns his back on his research, and with good reason. Ray and his team study alligators, crocodiles, and bats. With support from the National Science Foundation, this multidisciplinary team from several universities is mapping crocodile and alligator genomes. Reptiles resembling these have existed for around 80 million years and they are among the first reptiles to have their DNA sequenced. The research will expand knowledge beyond crocodilians to other reptiles, birds, and even dinosaurs.

  • Person in a science lab working with complex machinery. Caption: There is almost no limit to the ways we transmute matter.

    Students will trace the history of chemistry and study accounts of how chemistry developed from a practical discipline into a science. This episode also presents a current, real-life application of chemistry by illustrating the process of the refining and purifying pure silicon for advanced electronics, such as cell phones and solar cells. Part of the Chemistry: Challenges and Solutions Series.

  • Plastic tube containing clear, pebble-like objects is attached to a larger tube. Caption: The gas is filling up a constant volume.

    Chemistry is the science of interacting particles and the various states of matter. Developing a better understanding of the atomic model through experiments with gases, scientists discovered the Ideal Gas Law, developed phase diagrams, and learned about the properties of supercritical fluids. Today's chemists are exploring new ways to control the interactions of atoms, with the goal of making better hydrogen-powered cars and new technologies for the long-term, underground storage of carbon dioxide to reduce greenhouse warming. Part of the series Chemistry: Challenges And Solutions.

  • Close up of a small, spiny, translucent fish. Caption: The fish absorb enough oxygen from the sea

    For life to survive, it must adapt and readapt to an ever-changing Earth. The discovery of the Antarctic icefish has provided an example of adaptation in an environment both hostile and abundant, where the birth of new genes and the death of old ones have played crucial roles. Researchers Bill Detrich, Christina Cheng, and Art DeVries have pinpointed the genetic changes that enable icefish to thrive without hemoglobin and red blood cells and to avoid freezing in the icy ocean.
