For more than three decades, NOVA has been unrivaled in bringing authoritative, innovative, and entertaining science documentaries to television. Now the same award-winning producers have teamed up with veteran reporter Robert Krulwich to cover the timeliest developments and intriguing personalities in science and technology today. Presenting multiple stories in a magazine format hosted by Krulwich and reported by a diverse team of correspondents in the field, NOVA scienceNOW will air five times a year in the NOVA time slot, Tuesdays at 8 PM ET. The first NOVA scienceNOW episode premieres on January 25, 2005. It includes segments on the potential catastrophic flooding that threatens New Orleans, the "booming sands" of Death Valley, a profile of "swarm-robot" pioneer James McLurkin, and a special report by Krulwich on the brain structures called "mirror neurons," which may affect everything from language evolution to the visceral appeal of spectator sports.
