WGBH is conducting research and testing an innovative science magazine television series dedicated to the public understanding of research. The show will present both breaking research news and reports on underlying trends and issues in science. It will also feature stories that follow experiments or lab work over extended periods, profiles of scientists, stories of invention and discovery, and more purely entertaining items. The project places strong emphasis on a collaborative approach with other media developers, notably web and museum exhibit designers, to deepen the impact of the show beyond its immediate broadcast. During the research phase, WGBH will convene a group of scientists, informal educators and other potential collaborators to investigate the parameters involved in a collaborative approach. They also will produce and test sample program segments to determine what formats may be most effective. In addition, WGBH will begin looking for on-camera talent who has the knowledge and presentation ability to carry such a program. The questions that will be examined in the research phase include: how research and production efforts can be coordinated across different media, how facilities and infrastructure might be shared among different organizations providing public information about research, how the new television format might be customized to allow local television stations and science centers to link it with local events, and what formats may be most effective in engaging the public, holding their interest over multiple programs, and conveying substantive information about research.

WGBH 正在研究和测试一个创新的科学杂志电视连续剧，致力于让公众了解研究。 该节目将呈现重大研究新闻以及有关科学潜在趋势和问题的报告。 它还将包含长期实验或实验室工作的故事、科学家的简介、发明和发现的故事以及更多纯粹的娱乐项目。 该项目非常重视与其他媒体开发商（尤其是网络和博物馆展览设计师）的协作方式，以加深展会在直接播出之外的影响力。 在研究阶段，WGBH 将召集一组科学家、非正式教育工作者和其他潜在合作者来研究协作方法中涉及的参数。 他们还将制作和测试示例程序片段，以确定哪种格式可能最有效。 此外，WGBH 将开始寻找具备举办此类节目所需知识和演示能力的摄影师人才。研究阶段将研究的问题包括：如何跨不同媒体协调研究和制作工作，如何在提供研究公共信息的不同组织之间共享设施和基础设施，如何定制新的电视格式以允许地方电视台和科学中心将其与当地活动联系起来，以及什么格式最有效地吸引公众，保持他们对多个节目的兴趣，并传达有关研究的实质性信息。
