With support from the National Science Foundation's Directorate for Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences, psychologist Brad Duchaine and his team are studying the brains of 20 people with "face blindness." The team hopes to better understand the computational and neural basis of face processing in general. The research will help scientists develop a classification system for the condition and advance understanding of how different face-processing abilities are organized in the brain. Part of the "Science Nation" series.

Moko is an explorer. As he travels the world continent by continent, he makes many friends and discovers many natural phenomena which sometimes delight him, and other times scare him. Each animated episode recounts an adventure and takes an "original story" approach to explaining these natural phenomena. In this episode, having made their way beyond the great valley, Moko and Totemie discover a blanket of white stretching out in front of them. An old man tells them that once they get to the other side they will see what so many others have dreamt of seeing, but that they must fly like birds. He offers them a strange kite. As the wind picks up, they hang on tight and fly off from the salt pan.
On January 4th, 2013 a catastrophic bushfire ripped through Tasmania. In the aftermath, scientists and residents are struggling to figure out if events like this are likely to happen more frequently in the coming years with climate change. Part of WIldFIRE PIRE series.
Patients who have suffered devastating facial injuries sometimes go to great lengths to hide themselves from public view. At the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, civil and mechanical engineer Glaucio Paulino saw the possibilities of combining engineering and medical skills to tackle the complex challenge of facial reconstruction. Part of the National Science Foundation Series “Science Nation.”
Welcome to the North Carolina State University (NCSU) Phytotron, a singular facility for growing plants under various combinations of strictly controlled environmental conditions. Scientists are able to conduct all types of plant research here, from studies of disease-resistant crops to drought-proof grasses to new biofuels. The NCSU Phytotron was built in the 1960s with support from the National Science Foundation (NSF), and was used a decade later to help prevent a collapse in the U.S. corn crop from fungal disease. Now, after more than a generation of such research breakthroughs, the Phytotron has received additional support from NSF for a 21st century makeover. The renovations include a new Biosafety Level 3 (BSL-3) lab with a greenhouse that houses high security research, such as experiments with viral and bacterial pathogens. Part of the National Science Foundation Series “Science Nation.”
It's gang warfare when Africa's meerkats face danger. Wild Chronicles heads to Africa's Kalahari Desert where researchers studying a band of young meerkats find they rarely face danger alone. Segment of video from Wild Chronicles.

Sea turtles are found in oceans around the world, and they face many challenges throughout their life cycle. Even before they hatch, these reptiles face tremendous odds against surviving to maturity. Students learn ways to help save this endangered and threatened species. Part of the "Saving a Species" series.
This creature was found 4,200 feet deep in the ocean. It’s called a chimaera, and this fish has no bones in its body. Its skeleton is made of cartilage. The dots on its face are sensory organs that detect electrical fields in the water, which help the chimaera find its prey. Living in deep water, the chimaera is accustomed to lurking in the dark. Part of the "Creatures of the Deep" series.
Dr. Chris travels the globe and experiences the extremes from lava to sand to snow. He begins his journey on the island of Vanuatu where he comes face-to-face with an active volcano. His next stop is Abu Dhabi where he samples all the city has to offer. Then, Dr. Chris heads to the Australian Alps and gets a little carried away when a team of sled dogs takes him for a ride. Part of " The Open Road With Dr. Chris" series.
Climb aboard the Cyclops, a microscopic research vessel, and investigate an amazing hidden world on which all living things depend. The Cyclops houses a team of scientists known as the Micronauts and guides them through their discoveries of biological classification, diversity, and ecology. In this episode, the Micronauts come face to face with earthworms. While exploring their burrows, the crew observes the anatomy of earthworms and develops theories about the role earthworms plays in maintaining terrestrial ecosystems. Part 12 of Microscopic Monsters Series.
Part of being an active citizen is taking care of the environment. In this episode, students learn all about the history of the environmental movement in the United States and the origins of the holiday known as Earth Day. Part of the "Constitution Hall Pass."
Political scientist James Fowler makes the connection between smiling profile pictures on Facebook and human evolution.
Anna was born with a sweet tooth, and as a young woman, she created a successful business using it. Her delicious jams and jellies gave pleasure to many, but did they also cause harm? Explores the way the human body processes food and how its long-term growth and development are shaped by eating habits. Illustrating cellular aging and its relationship to AGEs, or advanced glycation end products, a connection is drawn between the bacteria an infant must consume to build a healthy immune system and the bacteria that consume the body at death. As Anna's life draws to a close, viewers will understand that "dust to dust" is a cycle in which humans take an active part--every time they sit down to a meal.
Drey, a young African American student, faces a hard choice about resuming his drug use. In a strange encounter, he finds himself back in time with renowned scientist George Washington Carver, who also faces a difficult choice. Doing what is right, no matter the cost, is an important lesson for both Carver and Drey. Quiz after the video credits.
Looks briefly at the history of rockets, from the space programs of the twentieth century into the cutting-edge technologies and dreams of today.
Sea turtles face a treacherous journey on the beach and in the ocean. This animated tale explains their life cycle. Their journey is filled with threats from both animals and humans.
Uses trilobite fossils as an example to illustrate the challenges scientists face in understanding the prehistoric world and its place in time. Examines fossil sites in Australia, discusses how fossils are formed, and tells how a fossil's world is recreated.
This series explores the relationship between humans and the sea and focuses on the life of the sea turtle. Turtles worldwide face serious threats of extinction; however, conservation efforts are trying to preserve this species. Part of the "Turtle World" series.
