WGBH is producing twelve quarterly television magazine-format programs devoted to the public understanding of current scientific research. The programs will consider the significant areas of on-going research, present the scientists who are conducting the research, portray research as an on-going endeavor and discuss the social impact and ethical implications of major areas of research. Each program will include segments such as the following:Research news update - (5 to 7 mins.)Feature stories about on-going research - 3 (8 to 12 min. each)In-studio discussions following many of the feature stories - ethical, policy and social implicationsPoint/Counterpoint - 2 commentators presenting social, ethical, political and economic aspects of research"Then and Now" segments showing changing nature of scientific researchIn-studio demonstrationsInterstitial moments -- Showcases of interesting and surprising aspects of researchClose -- update stories from previous programs, read viewers' input or answer viewers' questions, preview upcoming story.In addition, WGBH will produce three one-hour "Year in Review" programs that report what major research has occurred over the past year and puts it in a context that will help viewers understand the role of current research in all aspects of life.Other major components of the project include on-going collaborations with other Public Understanding of Research Projects, an interactive web site, communication training for scientists to help them explain their work to the public, "Science Cafes" with on-going public programs about cutting-edge research in informal settings, a resource guide for teachers, "Leading Edge" articles in magazines targeted to teens, a "Leading Edge" science contest for students conducted through PBS stations and a station resource kit with information about how to establish local collaborations with researchers, science museums, schools and others.

WGBH正在制作12个季度电视杂志格式的节目，致力于让公众了解当前的科学研究。 该计划将考虑正在进行的研究的重要领域，介绍正在进行研究的科学家，将研究描绘为一项正在进行的奋进，并讨论主要研究领域的社会影响和伦理影响。 每个节目将包括以下部分：研究新闻更新-（5至7分钟。）关于正在进行的研究的专题报道- 3（每个8至12分钟）在许多专题报道之后的演播室讨论-伦理，政策和社会影响点/对位- 2名评论员介绍社会，伦理，政治和经济方面的研究“过去和现在”部分显示不断变化的性质的科学研究在演播室演示间隙的时刻--展示研究的有趣和令人惊讶的方面关闭-更新以前节目的故事，阅读观众的输入或回答观众的问题，预览即将到来的故事。此外，WGBH将制作三个一小时的“年度回顾”报告过去一年中发生的重大研究的节目，并将其置于一个有助于观众了解当前研究在生活各个方面的作用的背景下。该项目的内容包括与其他公众了解研究项目的持续合作，一个互动网站，为科学家提供沟通培训，帮助他们向公众解释他们的工作，“科学咖啡馆”与正在进行的关于非正式环境中的前沿研究的公共项目，教师资源指南，针对青少年的杂志上的“前沿”文章，通过公共广播电台为学生举办的“前沿”科学竞赛，以及一个电台资源包，其中载有关于如何与研究人员、科学博物馆、学校和其他方面建立地方合作的信息。
