9901978APSELLWGBH is producing four, two-hour programs on the lives of scientists. These programs will be the initial programs in a continuing series of television portraits of distinguished scientists to be broadcast as regular features in the prime-time science series NOVA. The scientists to be covered in the first four programs are Galileo Galilei, Charles Darwin, Marie Curie, and Percy Julian. By illuminating the lives and scientific careers of these important figures, the programs will enhance public understanding of such basic scientific concepts as evolution, the solar system, the chemical bond and the structure of the atom. Ultimately, the programs will give viewers a new perspective on the process of scientific discovery. Ancillary educational support for the programs will include enhanced content on the web site at NOVA Online and classroom support material in the NOVA Teacher's Guide that is mailed to 60,000 teachers nationwide. WGBH also has formed an outreach partnership with the American Library Association to create informal educational resources for use by families, youths, and adults. The core of this special outreach plan is a set of Library Resource Kits that will be available to all 16,000 public libraries. Paula Apsell, Executive Producer for NOVA, will serve as PI for the project. Members of the advisory committee include: Evelyn Fox Keller, Professor of History and Philosophy of Science, MIT; Kenneth R. Manning, Thomas Meloy Professor of Rhetoric and of the History of Science, MIT; Noami Oreskes, Associate Professor of History, University of California, San Diego; Daniel I. Rubenstein, Chair of the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Princeton University; and Neil D. Tyson, Frederick P. Rose Director of the Hayden Planetarium.

9901978 APSELLWGBH正在制作四个两小时的关于科学家生活的节目。 这些节目将是一系列杰出科学家电视肖像的最初节目，这些肖像将作为黄金时段科学系列NOVA的常规节目播出。 前四个计划涵盖的科学家是伽利略、查尔斯达尔文、玛丽居里和珀西朱利安。 通过对这些重要人物的生活和科学生涯的介绍，这些节目将提高公众对进化、太阳系、化学键和原子结构等基本科学概念的理解。 最终，这些节目将为观众提供一个新的视角来看待科学发现的过程。 对这些方案的辅助教育支助将包括NOVA在线网站上的增强内容和邮寄给全国60 000名教师的NOVA教师指南中的课堂支助材料。 WGBH还与美国图书馆协会建立了外展伙伴关系，以创建供家庭，青少年和成年人使用的非正式教育资源。 这一特别外展计划的核心是一套图书馆资源包，将提供给所有16，000家公共图书馆。 NOVA的执行制片人Paula Apsell将担任该项目的PI。 顾问委员会成员包括：麻省理工学院历史和科学哲学教授伊夫林·福克斯·凯勒;麻省理工学院修辞学和科学史教授托马斯梅洛伊曼宁;加州大学圣地亚哥分校历史学副教授诺阿米奥雷斯克斯;丹尼尔I。普林斯顿大学生态学和进化生物学系主任鲁宾斯坦和尼尔D。泰森，弗雷德里克·P·罗斯海登天文馆馆长。
