9909402SCOTTSoundVision Productions is producing new programs for "The DNA Files." This highly regarded and very successful radio series is designed to further public understanding of genetic science as well as the ethical, legal and social issues emanating from genetics and biotechnology. These five, new, one-hour programs and feature segments will be on topics that have emerged in recent years as significant developments in the realm of genetic research such as pollution prevention and reduction and the patenting of gene sequences and related genetic information. Specific topics tentatively planned for the new programs include: "The Ecology of Genetic Engineering," "The Genetics of Memory and Aging," "The Genetics of X and the Genetics of WHY," and "Genetic Diseases of the Brain." The programs and features will also introduce those products and processes that, while currently viewed as only future fantasies of the biotech industry, are likely to become real in one or another within the lifetimes of the current generation of public radio listeners.The major outreach component of the project will be via a World Wide Web site. This is a particularly appropriate medium for outreach for this project since demographic studies indicate that most members of the public radio audience have computers and are able to access the web. SoundVision will upgrade the present "The DNA Files" web site to become a more active and integrated part of the project. Every program will have a dedicated section on the web site that will provide expended information and resources beyond those included in the broadcast. The web will provide a forum for public interaction with the issues by engaging the scientists, related experts, policy makers and the public. The project also will make cassette tapes and transcripts of the programs available on request.The PI is Bari Scott, who is the Executive Producer for the series; Jude Thilman will serve as Project Director. The programs are hosted by NBC Dateline reporter John Hockenberry and distributed by National Public Radio. Project advisors in the field of genetics include Elbert Branscomb, Luca Cavalli-Sforza, Troy Duster, Charles Epstein, Ted Friedman, Henry Greely, Leroy Hood, Ruth Hubbard, Sheila Jasanoff, Arthur Kaplan, Daniel Kevles, Mary Clair King, Phillip Kitcher, Julie Korenberg, Michael Malinowski, Desmond Mascarenhas, Pilar Ossario, Gerald Rubin, Lee Silver, and Sylvia Spengler.

9909402 SCOTTSoundVision制作公司正在为《DNA档案》制作新节目。“这一备受推崇和非常成功的广播系列旨在促进公众对遗传科学以及遗传学和生物技术所产生的伦理、法律的和社会问题的理解。 这五个新的一小时节目和专题部分将讨论近年来在遗传研究领域出现的重大发展，如污染预防和减少以及基因序列和相关遗传信息的专利。 新计划的具体主题包括：“遗传工程的生态学”，“记忆和衰老的遗传学”，“X的遗传学和为什么的遗传学”和“大脑的遗传疾病”。“这些节目和专题节目还将介绍那些产品和工艺，虽然目前被认为只是生物技术工业未来的幻想，但在目前这一代公共广播听众的有生之年，这些产品和工艺很可能在一个或另一个国家成为真实的。 这是一个特别适合推广该项目的媒介，因为人口研究表明，公共广播听众中的大多数人都有电脑，能够上网。 SoundVision将升级目前的“DNA档案”网站，使其成为该项目更活跃和更完整的一部分。 每个节目将在网站上有一个专门的部分，将提供超出广播中所包括的信息和资源。 该网络将提供一个论坛，供科学家、相关专家、政策制定者和公众参与，就这些问题进行公众互动。 该项目还将根据要求提供节目的盒式磁带和抄本。PI是巴里斯科特，他是该系列的执行制片人;裘德蒂尔曼将担任项目总监。 该节目由NBC Dateline记者John Hockenberry主持，并由国家公共广播电台分发。 遗传学领域的项目顾问包括埃尔伯特Branscomb，Luca Cavalli-Sforza，Troy Duster，Charles Epstein，Ted Friedman，亨利Greely，Leroy Hood，Ruth Hubbard，Sheila Jasanoff，亚瑟Kaplan，丹尼尔Kevles，玛丽Clair King，菲利普Kitcher，Julie Korenberg，Michael Malinowski，Desmond Mascarenhas，皮拉尔Ossario，Gerald Rubin，Lee银和Sylvia Spengler。
