  • Black and white photo of a man on a boat holding a baby panda bear. Caption: Her export papers read, "One dog. Fee: $20."

    In 1936, Ruth Harkness, a dressmaker from New York, set off to China in search of the rare, elusive giant panda. Her goal was to bring one back alive to New York. She wanted to share the wonder of China's wildlife with the western world. She became the first explorer to do so, and set in motion a public fascination with these creatures that continues 80 years later. Part of "The Brain Scoop" series.

  • Person working on a large vertical sheet of ice. Caption: For them, time on the ice is part of the job.

    Welcome to Ruth Glacier, deep inside Alaska’s Denali National Park and Preserve. Some of the visitors are here for recreational activities, such as backcountry skiing, but this is no vacation for University of Maine paleoclimatologist Karl Kreutz and his team. For them, time on the ice is all part of the job. With support from the National Science Foundation, the scientists are working to reconstruct the climate history of this area over the last thousand years. Part of the National Science Foundation Series “Science Nation.”

  • A deer-like animal with a pair of sharp horns. Caption: a system of ruthless checks and balances,

    Nazinga Game Reserve is the success story of one man's determination to restore indigenous wildlife to a dying savannah. Clark Lungren's innovative message to the local tribes in Burkina Faso resulted in increased wildlife and native hunting. Features baboon, hartebeest, antelope, elephant, waterbuck, and warthog. The government and resident natives help protect the sanctuary from poachers.

  • Dark background with a small central ball of light surrounded by four irregularly placed orbiting streaks of light. Caption: And Rutherford now also knew that the atom had structure,

    Professor Jim Al-Khalili shows that in our quest to understand the tiny atom, we unraveled the mystery of how the entire universe was created. It's a story with dramatic twists and turns, taking in world-changing discoveries like radioactivity, the Atomic Bomb, and the Big Bang Theory. All this forms part of an epic narrative in which the greatest brains of the 20th century competed to answer the biggest questions of all-why are we here and how were we made?
