Our planet has suffered from at least five different mass extinctions, periods when large number of species died out simultaneously or within a short time frame. Scientists today are still researching the causes of the first extinctions that resulted in a reset on planet Earth, allowing new species to rise, including the human race. Ancient Earth sheds light on the kind of life that existed on three of these early periods, allowing us a glimpse of the species that thrived during those times. Journey back 250 million years to explore the Permian, Triassic, and Cretaceous eras. English 37 minutes

The Cretaceous was the golden age on ancient Earth. Magnificent and terrifying dinosaurs like Triceratops and Tyrannosaurus ruled the land. Massive pterosaurs like the Quetzalcoatlus dominated the sky, and the 50-foot Mosasaurus lizard prowled the sea. But they were all wiped out in an instant by one of the most powerful impacts our Earth has ever endured -- a gamechanging asteroid collision that eliminated the dinosaurs and set the stage for the rise of man. English 14 minutes

Why did Earth become a habitable planet? The answer lies in an Antarctic lake locked under the thick ice. Ultrahigh definition 8K cameras capture an otherworldly landscape stretching over the icy lake bottom that hide clues to the great oxygenation event, the origin of the oxygen-rich atmosphere of our planet.

Horseshoe crabs have been saving our species - are we endangering theirs? The blue blood of horseshoe crabs is used by the biomedical industry to test for toxins in things such as implants, vaccines, and medical implements. The crab bleeding industry says that bloodletting isn’t lethal, but there’s no doubt that populations are dropping on the Atlantic coast. Win Watson and Meghan Owings of the University of New Hampshire explain their research as they try to determine how the current catch, bleed, and release fishery affects the overall health of horseshoe crabs and whether it’s bleeding this “blue blood bank” dry. English 7 minutes

Healthy, flowing rivers are critical to tens of thousands of species and millions of people around the world. Unfortunately, as humans, we forget these connections and think of rivers as a source for easy, renewable energy. Dams and other infrastructure are severing our rivers: only 1/3 of the world’s longest rivers remain free-flowing. World Wildlife Fund (WWF) needed a compelling, memorable, experience that showed people we can keep rivers free-flowing and still embrace development. Augmented Reality provided that medium, and through it, we developed the WWF Free Rivers app-which was downloaded over 300k times in less than two months. English

Backyard Wilderness†takes viewers on a surprising journey into the natural wonders right outside our doors. The film follows young Katie and her family who, absorbed by electronics and their busy modern lives, are blind to the real-life spectacle all around them. Until, that is, a school project sends Katie outdoors, and sparks her gradual discovery of a whole new world. Audiences experience her backyard come alive--ducklings diving out of trees, salamanders dodging traffic, and coyote pups learning to hunt. The film reminds us that Wi-Fi is not the only connection that matters and that, sometimes, in ordinary places, you can uncover extraordinary things. English 43 minutes

Natural history filmmaker Martin Dohrn has rigged one-of-a-kind cameras to capture the hectic and complex world of Bristol’s wildlife - all in his own backyard! Watch as he slows down the almost imperceptible movements of the insects that populate his garden, from fascinating winged-species to creeping spiders and much more. With this sort of set-up, his small garden is transformed into an unexplored nature reserve, as dramatic and dynamic as anything seen in the plains of Africa. English 12 minutes

Whether they have two legs or four, whether they live on land or in water, there are lots of very surprising solutions for animals who have lost the use of one or more limbs following an accident. Lola, for example, a 4-year-old dog who was paralysed in both hind legs as the result of a fall. In order to make life better for her, her owners turned to HÈlËne, who makes tailor-made wheelchairs for dogs, so that Lola would be able to walk again. French 27 minutes

The birth of our Solar System was both violent and chaotic. As planets formed around our Sun, gravity and luck determined their fate: some are tossed into the Sun, others thrown into interstellar space, never to return. It is survival of the fittest, on an interplanetary scale. English 30 minutes

Black holes are the most enigmatic and exotic objects in the universe. They’re also the most powerful, with gravity so strong it can trap light. And they’re destructive, swallowing entire planets, even giant stars. Anything that falls into them vanishes...gone forever. Now, astrophysicists are realizing that black holes may be essential to how our universe evolved-their influence possibly leading to life on Earth and, ultimately, us. In this two-hour special, astrophysicist and author Janna Levin takes viewers on a journey to the frontiers of black hole science. Along the way, we meet leading astronomers and physicists on the verge of finding new answers to provocative questions about these shadowy monsters: Where do they come from? What’s inside? What happens if you fall into one? And what can they tell us about the nature of space, time, and gravity?

Life on Earth is fed by sunlight - so one could think the lack of sunlight means no life at all. But a closer look reveals that most dark caves present wildlife in abundance. Recently cave divers and biologists have found previously unknown species under the picturesque capital of Hungary. The Moln·r J·nos Cave, the largest underwater thermokarst cave in Europe, has many more secrets to store. Budapest Inferno is one of the first science documentaries covering chemosynthesis in caves and comparing it to the deepsea ecosystems - with extraordinary footages from both isolated environments. English 51 minutes

Cadence is a podcast about music: how it affects your brain, your life, and the community in which you live. Join our host, cognitive neuroscientist and classically trained opera singer Indre Viskontas while we talk to scientists, musicians, musicologists, and composers to find answers to some of the biggest questions still surrounding the intersection of music and science. How much can we learn about the mind with music as the lens? English 90 minutes

Carefully take a petri dish from the Biohazard cooler. Place the unknown (and possibly deadly) sample on the surface of the touch table. And learn the answer to the critical question: Can it kill you? Placing these colorful petri dishes on the display brings up data about the microorganisms inside--their habitats, and life cycles. Of course, these dishes don’t actually contain dangerous pathogens like Ebolavirus or Plasmodium. Instead, Ideum created this provocative exhibit as a demonstration of Ideum’s object-recognition software at venues like the Association of Science-Technology Centers (ASTC) conference and the Big Brothers Big Sisters Discovery Festival.

Experience Greenland through the eyes of Artist Zaria Forman, Nasa scientist, John Sonntag and Inuit Elder Angaangaq Angakkorsuaq “Uncle.” Zaria travels to Greenland for inspiration for her next body of work, and to visit the fjord where she spread her mother’s ashes. Sonntag is the lead scientist for Operation IceBridge - he and his crew work tirelessly gathering information on the ice sheet. Uncle is an inuit elder who speaks for the ice. His elders saw the “big ice” melting for the first time in the 1960s. The intersection of art, culture and science in a region defined by climate change.

Ancient, exquisite, fragile, vulnerable and often resilient, the corals of this planet face an uncertain future. This film tells the story of coral that is mostly invisible to the naked eye. It removes the bias and limitations of our senses and perceptions so we can appreciate the reef and its inhabitants as they truly are. We follow the life cycle of coral from spawning to settlement and growth in a naturally hostile and competitive environment. If they can survive, corals must then face the perils of climate change. Are we witnessing the global collapse of an ecosystem? English 9 minutes

Thirty years ago, a partnership between Archbold Biological Station and Buck Island Ranch inspired a new mission: cowboys and scientists working together to advance scientific discovery on a ten thousand acre working cattle ranch. Bridging this cultural divide has resulted in a series of transformative discoveries that have begun to reshape our misconceptions about agriculture, sustainability, and conservation in the 21st century. English 8 minutes

The CRISPR-Cas9: Mechanism & Applications interactive allows high school and undergraduate students and science educators to explore and learn about this revolutionary biotechnology tool that is at the forefront of scientific research. The interactive consists of a dynamic and responsive self-paced molecular animation and a series of short videos presenting a diverse group of leading scientists who are working with CRISPR for basic research, medical, and agricultural applications. English

Inside the cell nucleus, DNA and two Cas9 endonucleases which form Cas9 complexes in building a compound with Guide RNAs are present. These newly formed Cas9 complexes migrate unerringly to the cutting sites of the DNA strand. After the knock out of the marked DNA sequence strand, they make way for the cell’s own repair system. Nucleases, polymerases, and ligases rejoin the DNA strands. While the opening cell shot is schematic, the interior of the nucleus and all the proteins of the gene-editing action are authentic and are coming from scientific data out of the international protein data bank.

Viewers will see fieldwork in action, listen to commentary from the expedition members and feel like they’re on a journey to Humboldt Park. In Fall 2015 a team of 25+ scientists and support staff from AMNH and Cuba journeyed to Cuba’s Humboldt Park. The 274 national park hosts a wide array of animals, plants and insects -- some of them endemic to Cuba. Part of AMNH’s Explore21 initiative, the exploratory fieldwork included a wide range of scientific disciplines including bird, reptile, mammal, butterfly, insect, snail and crocodile experts. Fieldwork is inherently collaborative -- it requires a wide set of skills and people to pull off a successful expedition. Humboldt Park staff connected the Explore21 team with local people who shared their past observations of park animals and helped in collecting research samples. English 7 minutes

Almost everything we know today about Saturn comes from Cassini, the NASA mission that launched in 1997 and arrived at the giant ringed planet in 2004. Since then, the spacecraft has been beaming home images and scientific data, revealing countless wonders about the planet. As the mission approaches its final days in 2017, it attempts one last set of daring maneuvers: diving between the innermost ring and the top of Saturn’s atmosphere. Join NASA engineers for the tense moments as they find out if their gambit has paid off, and discover the wonders that Cassini has revealed over the years. English 53 minutes

In this two-hour documentary, NOVA will cut through the confusion around climate change. Why do scientists overwhelmingly agree that our climate is changing, and that human activity is causing it? How and when will it affect us through the weather we experience? And what will it take to bend the trajectory of planetary warming toward more benign outcomes? Join scientists around the world on a quest to better understand the workings of the weather and climate machine we call Earth, and discover how we can be resilient-even thrive-in the face of enormous change.

DEEP LOOK is a science video series that explores big science by going very, very small, from KQED and PBS Digital Studios. We use macro photography and microscopy in glorious 4K resolution, plus original score to see science up close... really, really close. Through 20 3-to5-minute episodes per year, our Deep Look team of producers, writers, editors, artists and composers seek to marry the rich cinematic tradition of blue-chip PBS science and nature documentary with the personal, question-driven shortform conventions of the typical popular YouTube science show. English 5 minutes

It is no exaggeration to describe Earth as a deep-sea planet. Waters with depths in excess of 200 meters account for 95 percent of the oceans and form the biggest biosphere. But what does the deep sea look like? What life forms does it harbor? And how do they survive in such an extreme environment? The NHK team that captured unprecedented images of giant squid and deep-sea sharks next developed an ultra-sensitive 4K camera that could be mounted on a submersible and used it to create the first-ever deepsea series. English 156 minutes

NHK’s deep-sea film crew explores our planet’s deepest point -- the Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench! Challenger Deep is 10,920 meters below the ocean’s surface, a depth at which water pressure is thought to destroy proteins and make life impossible. The crew teamed up with researchers to probe these depths for the first time ever. They developed a special unmanned vessel and search equipment fitted with a 4K camera. The team broke the world record for the deepest recording of a fish when it filmed the angelic Mariana Snail Fish. What other creatures lie in the Challenger Deep? English 52 minutes

The NHK team behind the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first footage of a live giant squid in its natural habitat follows three marine biologists as they venture into the deep sea of the Antarctic. Equipped with custom 4K UHD cameras, the team will embark on the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first scientific research by a submersible in the Antarctic. The dive in the Southern Ocean reveals a surprising world of bountiful marine life, where many creatures are gigantic forms of their shallow-water-dwelling relatives. A hostile, inaccessible world locked away under ice and snow permits us the first vivid glimpse of its long concealed secrets. English 52 minutes

In this series, we tear down the walls between science and history to reveal how the story of mankind is often driven by events from the deep past. Ancient exploding stars, the clash of continents, the formation of molecules, all secretly shaped the history we thought we knew. Our civilization and innovations, our voyages and battles, are driven not only by the decisions we make, but by physics, geology, biology, chemistry-by forces that can be too small to see...or so far back in time that the only way to understand their influence is to think in a whole new way. English 150 minutes

Depression: As many as 350 million people worldwide are victims of this taboo illness. Many seek healing or, at least, some improvement through antidepressants, but often in vain. Nonetheless, researchers have now found new leads and come up with questions like: Can depressions be triggered by inflammations? Is there a new hope? Based upon the latest findings about this widespread illness affecting our mental health, the documentary follows three teams of scientists who are reaching out for new ways of treatment and prevention. In what way are stress, our immune system and the outbreak of depressions interrelated? German 52 minutes

It has now been over 30 years since the mysterious death of Dian Fossey, the primatologist who transformed the way we see gorillas. Fossey told the world how mountain gorillas live, and fought tooth and nail to save them. Her obsession may have cost her her life. Through extensive and rarely seen archival footage, dozens of Fossey’s letters, interviews with friends and colleagues, and narration by Sigourney Weaver, Dian Fossey: Secrets in the Mist tells her life story from childhood and her early days researching in Congo, through to her arrival in Rwanda, where she spent 18 years studying and protecting the mountain gorilla population. With exclusive access to Fossey’s belongings and personal effects, including objects from her cabin where she was brutally slain, the event series explores Fossey’s murder and the investigation and trial of her research student Wayne McGuire, who was found guilty in absentia of her murder by the Rwandan courts.

in the lead-up to the 2017 total solar eclipse, we noticed something strange. Astronomy terms describing obscure aspects of the eclipse sounded like the names of creatures from PokÈmon! We visited the National Mall in Washington DC and Otakon, a local celebration of Asian pop culture, to see if this diverse group of people would be able to distinguish the scientific terms from those in the video game? Umbreon or Antumbra? Aphelion or Heliolisk? The fans couldn’t always deduce which was science and which was fiction. But everyone learned a lot about astronomy while having fun. English 3 minutes

On August 21, 2017, millions of Americans witnessed the first total solar eclipse to cross the continental United States in 99 years. While hordes of citizens flocked to the eclipse’s path of totality, scientists, too, staked out spots for a very different reason: to investigate the secrets of the sun’s elusive atmosphere. NOVA investigates the storied history of solar eclipse science and joins both seasoned and citizen-scientists alike as they don their eclipse glasses, tune their telescopes, and revel in the eclipse that spanned the continent.

For decades, Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute scientists and partners have traveled to Myanmar to study Asian elephants, a species threatened by poaching, habitat loss and humanelephant conflict. Only 30,000 to 50,000 of these animals remain in the wild, scattered throughout fragmented habitats across 13 countries in Asia. Using satellite GPS collars, scientists are tracking the movements of Myanmar’s wild elephants to better understand how they use their habitat and to inform conservation efforts. This film explores the human-elephant conflict to show the challenges of living with wild Asian elephants. English 4 minutes

In the 1800s, southern newspapers ran ads seeking runaway slaves suspected of taking refuge in a vast wetland called the Great Dismal Swamp. For decades, scholars have sought proof that the reports were true, and now they finally have it. See how a team of archaeologists is using new discoveries and modern dating methods to piece together this lost part of American history. Then discover what life was like for these brave men and women, who chose to suffer in the swamp and keep their freedom rather than live under the conditions of slavery. English 46 minutes

AnaÔs and Elisa are two very astute young flatmates. Among their regular topics of conversation are their boyfriends but also food, of course, and fat in particular. That notorious fat we love eating but hate finding on our stomach or hips... When all is said and done, what do we really know about it? Should we avoid it or embrace it? Is it our worst enemy when it comes to our health or is it not as bad as we think it is? English 30 minutes

What is it that causes us to feel the thrill, the increased energy, the desire to move and to dance that we do when we hear rhythmic music that we like? For researchers it’s an enigma that needs to be solved. Because, in fact, this is an intense emotion that is a reaction associated with survival. French 32 minutes

Over billions of years, planet Earth has become home to an amazing interdependent ecosystem, containing a dizzying variety of animals and plants. But how did life here begin? And does it exist anywhere outside of our solar system? We uncover the secrets of our world by tracking the evolution of the cosmos itself, from the Big Bang onwards. Follow scientists responsible for some of the major breakthroughs in understanding the origins of life and witness how their discoveries are fundamentally changing the way we perceive the universe.

From the Ashes captures Americans in communities across the country as they wrestle with the legacy of the coal industry and what its future should be in the current political climate. From Appalachia to the West’s Powder River Basin, the film goes beyond the rhetoric of the “war on coal” to present compelling and often heartbreaking stories about what’s at stake for our economy, health, and climate. English 81 minutes

This film tells the story of how gene therapy restored the sight of a young patient with an inherited form of childhood blindness, Leber Congenital Amaurosis (LCA). It is told from the perspective of Drs. Jean Bennett and Albert Maguire at the University of Pennsylvania who spent over 25 years working to develop this breakthrough technology. The short film chronicles their successes and challenges and illustrates how the method works to treat inherited conditions by delivering corrective versions of genes to patients. In December 2017, the FDA approved LCA treatment as the first gene therapy available to treat an inherited disease. English 17 minutes

Today’s students need to understand how the complex and dynamic human and natural systems interact in order to make smart decisions. The 5-stage Geo-Inquiry Process uses a geographic perspective, offering a unique lens to analyze space, place, and the interconnections between the human and natural world. Using their projects as examples, National Geographic Explorers from across the globe encourage students to use this process to understand and learn about their world; to ASK questions relevant to their communities - COLLECT data appropriate to their question - VISUALIZE their data and information - CREATE a story - and inspire themselves and others to ACT.

Water can move mountains, one piece at a time. These fragments get carried downstream, often washing down into the sea. Many of the tiniest coastal ocean creatures can trace their food sources back to these nutrients coming off the land. But how much nutrient-laden water enters the ocean? A team of scientists and engineers set out to wire a small corner of a remote landscape with a clever idea and a pinch of salt. English 5 minutes

Our ancient human ancestors once lived only in Africa, in tiny bands of a few thousand hunter-gatherers. Then we moved out of our African cradle, spreading rapidly to every corner of the planet. How did we acquire the skills, technology and talent to thrive in every environment on earth? How did our prehistoric forebears cross the Sahara on foot, survive frigid ice ages, and sail to remote Pacific islands? “Great Human Odyssey” is a spectacular global journey following their footsteps out of Africa along a trail of fresh scientific clues. With unique glimpses of today’s Kalahari hunters, Siberian reindeer herders, and Polynesian navigators, we discover amazing skills that hint at how our ancestors survived and prospered long ago.

Healing with Light

Hear the Otherworldly Sounds of Skating on Thin Ice

Heart-Wrenching Video: Starving Polar Bear on Iceless Land

18-30124 Health & Medicine, Micro-Movie, Science Journalism , Editing

18-30125 Micro-Movie

18-30126 Micro-Movie

Three decades ago, the physician-scientist Richard Edelson looked for treatments to help his patients with a rare form of blood cancer called cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). Finding none, he invented one. The therapy, called photopheresis, involves running a patient’s blood through a machine that separates white blood cells, treats them with a photoactive drug, then activates that drug with ultraviolet light. Over time, it has been tested on other diseases. Healing with Light goes behind the scenes with two patients, Louis and Allan, who suffer from graftversus-host disease and organ transplant rejection, respectively, to show us their healing journeys. English 5 minutes

This small lake outside Stockholm, Sweden, emits otherworldly sounds as MÂrten Ajne skates over its precariously thin, black ice. “Wild ice skating,” or “Nordic skating,” is both an art and a science. A skater seeks out the thinnest, most pristine black ice possible--both for its smoothness, and for its high-pitched, laser-like sounds. English 2 minutes

This is what climate change looks like. This starving polar bear was spotted by National Geographic photographer Paul Nicklen on Somerset Island. As temperatures rise, and sea ice melts, polar bears lose access to the main staple of their diet--seals. Starving, and running out of energy, they are forced to wander into human settlements for any source of food. Feeding polar bears is illegal. Without finding another source of food, this bear likely only had a few more hours to live. English 1 minutes

Research science can be an amazing career, but how does one actually become a scientist? We help graduate students and postdocs to navigate the quirky, confounding world of scientific training, and explore ways to make that training more effective and inclusive. English 135 minutes

Researchers reveal the microscopic life in between grains of sediment. In this video, we meet two researchers who study meiofauna, creatures so small they live in between the grains of sand and mud. Like the creatures they study, the meiofauna research community is also small, which makes the potential for new discoveries almost endless. MarÌa Herranz and Niels Van Steenkiste, both postdocs at the University of British Columbia, take us to the domain of mud dragons and flatworms, nematodes and water bears. A walk on the beach will never be the same. English 5 minutes

Have you ever wondered what an earthquake is like from inside the Earth? The SeismoDome show at Hayden Planetarium in New York City seeks to give audience members an experience like none other. Geophysicist Ben Holtzman and musician/sound designer Jason Candler created the show using animation and data from real earthquakes. They sped up the sounds that earthquakes emit, normally at a frequency too low for humans to hear, and show how the Earth can continue to “ring” for months after large magnitude quakes. They hope that their research may lead to better safety in the future. English 2 minutes

For centuries, the Lithuanian city of Vilna was one of the most important Jewish centers in the world, earning the title “Jerusalem of the North” until World War II, when the Nazis murdered about 95% of its Jewish population and reduced its synagogues and cultural institutions to ruins. The Soviets finished the job, paving over the remnants of Vilna’s famous Great Synagogue so thoroughly that few today know it ever existed. Now, an international team of archaeologists is trying to rediscover this forgotten world, excavating the remains of its Great Synagogue and searching for proof of one of Vilna’s greatest secrets: a lost escape tunnel dug by Jewish prisoners inside a horrific Nazi execution site.

The richest seas in the world surround the islands that lie between Asia and Australia. The moon holds sway over these seas and coasts and all their creatures. Twice a day the tides flood the strangest forests on earth. Here fiddler crabs dance to the moon, whilst bizarre fish run away from water, and even odder fish hide in trees. The power of the moon is still felt beyond the range of the tide. Tidal currents sweep across coral reefs, bringing plankton, and making the reefs the richest on earth. English 50 minutes

One force rules over the islands of Southeast Asia more than any other. It makes snakes fly and apes sing. It turns some trees into towering giants and others into stealthy killers. It is the awesome power of the tropical sun. This is the story of how, in these ancient rainforests, the sunâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s energy sustains the greatest assemblage of life on Earth.

Journey to Baja: A Tale of Three Travelers is presented to the public in our recently refurbished 266-seat auditorium. The program follows the migrations of three far-ranging animals that share one common trait: each travels to Baja California, the remote and beautiful peninsula on Mexico’s west coast, to have their young. This 15-minute program features a live presenter, who helps trace the journeys of gray whales, brown pelicans, and elephant seals to their remote and protected islands and lagoons. Stunning cinematography by IMAX filmmaker Johnny Friday and a beautiful musical score composed for the show by guitarist Peppino D’Agostino make for a rich and satisfying story about how people’s decision to protect these animals brought them back from the brink of extinction.

18-30166 Changing Planet

18-30167 Being Human

18-30168 Micro-Movie

Devastating hurricanes struck the U.S. mainland and Caribbean islands in 2017. But they weren’t the first. The Great Hurricane of 1780 took nine days to blast its way across the Caribbean, killing at least 20,000-the highest known death toll of any single weather event in history. To investigate what made it so devastating, NOVA joins historians and storm sleuths as they track down clues. The picture they paint is disturbing: mega-hurricanes were not only more frequent in the past but are likely to strike again in our near future, as climate change fuels more intense hurricanes. English 53 minutes

In 1971 Penny Patterson began teaching sign language to a gorilla named Koko, unaware that this relationship would define both their lives. Over forty years on, now internationally famous, Koko continues to redraw the line between people and animals. English 56 minutes

What if hibernating animals of different species formed an orchestra and performed a symphony about their winter’s sleep? Well, they did--sort of. Because this is the science version of “Peter and the Wolf”... A flute playing wood frog who freezes. A bassoon blowing painted turtle who (ahem) breathes through its butt. A trumpet blasting common poorwill who falls asleep anywhere, anytime. A harp plucking mosquito who goes into a sci-fi suspended animation. A drum thumping black bear who stays fat all winter long. And, of course, a theremin tuning Antarctic cod who goes semi-comatose in the dark. (Vimeo Staff Pick) English 5 minutes

18-30170 Science of Life, Visualization, Science Ambassador

Lawless - The Real Bushrangers is a landmark documentary series exploring Australia’s most iconic crimes of colonial history. Folklore holds Ned Kelly to be a hero, endlessly mythologised. But what if he was a clear-eyed killer? Using archaeology to literally break new ground and the latest forensic methods to test the historical evidence, a specialist team seek to illuminate a fact-based version of our history.¨ In a striking blend of scientific investigation, elegant imagery and heartfelt documentary, and produced by Emmy winning science specialists Genepool Productions for History Channel, this film challenges the legend that shaped Australia’s national identity. English 52 minutes

In our quest to uncover the laws of nature, scientists are discovering big answers from a tiny source: a charming little lizard that can be found in any backyard in the tropics. The new Smithsonian Channel documentary, Laws of the Lizard, follows award-winning filmmakers Nate Dappen and Neil Losin as they discover why the fascinating anole lizards might hold the key to understanding the past, present, and future of life on Earth. On their year-long journey through the American tropics, from tiny Bahamian Islands and Caribbean rainforests to metropolitan Miami and the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History, Nate and Neil encounter remarkable lizards and capture species and behaviors that have never been filmed before. They also meet some of the world’s top biologists, including the man at the center of the anole lizard universe, Harvard University professor Jonathan Losos. Laws of the Lizard tells the surprising story of anoles - how they spread through Latin America and the Caribbean, conquered every possible habitat, and diversified into hundreds of species - and what they tell us about other species and ecosystems around the world.

See how visionary scientists and engineers are pushing their imaginations and ingenuity to the limits to prepare humanity for what would surely be its greatest adventure yet. English 51 minutes

When Professor Diana Six, from the University of Montana, enters the forest, she is on a mission to crack the genetic code of the pine tree. She’s driven to understand the trees, the mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae) and their relationship with our forests. Hear about what this beetle--recently responsible for the largest insect outbreak in recorded history--can tells us about the future of our forests and climate. English 6 minutes

When lesser prairie-chickens mate, the action starts early. Before dawn in April and May, males stomp their feet in the grass like they’re warming up for a track meet. As they dance, they inflate bright red air sacs on the sides of their necks and raise feathered neck tufts. With these displays and warbling squawks, the males fight for the right to mate with as many females as possible. These impressive performances have made the birds the stars of an annual lesser prairie chicken festival each April--and the poster species for an imperiled ecosystem. English 4 minutes

A rare but extremely frightening medical condition, locked-in syndrome was described in detail to the general public in the bestselling memoir “The Diving Bell and the Butterfly”. This phenomenon usually manifests itself in the form of paralysis that is total apart from movement of the eyes and eyelids. It is generally the result of a stroke that causes a lesion on the brainstem at the point where the power cables vital for controlling muscles run through it. French 22 minutes

In this fresh look at the beasts even scientists are still trying to understand, a series of contests will separate fact from fiction...and compare the abilities of man versus octopus. Experts go head-to-head and arm-to-tentacle against the mysterious creatures in tests of strength, camouflage, and flexibility -- while researchers probe the uncanny intelligence of a mere mollusk that has 9 brains compared to our single one.

Meet the Real Wolf

Micro-Movie

18-30183

An animated video that features ocean researcher Kelly Benoit-Bird, and her desire to understand the interactions between small drifting species like phyto- and zooplankton, and small fishes and their larger predators. This video was part of an exhibit piece in AMNH’s “Unseen Oceans” show. The video was projected at an angle onto a flat surface about waist-high inside a receded alcove. Hovering above the screen is a replica of the Deep Ocean REMUS Echosounder (DOR-E). DMX lights surrounding the exhibit activate during parts of the video to emphasize the use of the DOR-E. English 3 minutes

Our Tentacles exhibition is the largest living collection on cephalopods on display in the world--and keeping up with its tenants is colossal (squid) amount of work! Take a look behind the scenes with our Squid Squad and find out what it takes to care for our cuttle puddle of cephalopods. English 3 minutes

What happens when fairy tales and reality collide? Throughout history, myths about the ‘big bad wolf’ have generated fear and concern that creeps out of storybooks and into the real world. By the 1950s wolves were pushed to the brink of extinction - and more was lost than just the wolf. ‘Meet the Real Wolf’ introduces a new chapter where the apex predator becomes the protagonist, changing the narrative of the ecosystems they are rebuilding.

Join astronaut Chris Hadfield, commander of the International Space Station, on a joyride across our Solar System, scaled down to the size of the continental United States. Along the way, Commander Colonel Hadfield is joined by hitchhikers Michio Kaku, and other famed scientists, as they travel from planet-to-planet here on Earth. English 50 minutes

Jupiter is the biggest, baddest bully of our solar system; its radiation and magnetic fields are the harshest of any planet, yet it may also hold the keys to understanding the origins of life as we know it. Mission Jupiter tells the story behind the design, launch and journey of Juno, a one-of-akind spacecraft and its tumultuous target, Jupiter. After an almost five-year journey, the mission comes down to a risky 35-minute engine burn to redirect Juno towards the beast that is Jupiter. Mission Jupiter is live at NASA’s Jet Propulsion lab to capture this do or die mission moment. English 43 minutes

Mission: Deep Discovery is an interactive, educational experience which allows up to four guests to participate in a virtual research dive adventure. It exposes guests to the amazing species and habitats of Earth’s last great frontier - the deep sea. Players work cooperatively to steer their sub, take pictures of deep-sea life, and collect samples for scientific study. Each team journeys to the Twilight Zone to study bioluminescence, explores an ancient sea coral reef, and descends miles below the surface to observe a hydrothermal vent. This exhibit is located near the Ocean Explorer attraction area at SeaWorld San Diego. English 13 minutes

Norweigan filmmaker Asgeir Helgested first lays eyes on “Frost” as the adult female polar bear is playing with her two young cubs in the snow on the island of Svalbard, far north of the Arctic Circle. It marks the beginning of a four-year quest to document the life of this mother as the world around her is changing. Asgeir returns to Svalbard every winter to follow Frost, who proves to be an extraordinary mother, and her two cubs, whom he names Lucky and Light. The fjords where Frost has hunted for years are no longer frozen over; seals are unable to haul out on the floes. The signs of climate change are all around her. Frost and her cubs aren’t the only ones to suffer. Asgeir takes us under the icesheet to reveal the extraordinary food chain that feeds the Arctic, and as the ice disappears, the system collapses.

Navigation without a map? No problem. Building a fortress out of living bodies? Check. Living life as a super-organism without chaos or collisions? Nothing out of the ordinary for some. The animal kingdom is filled with creative solutions for staying safe, building homes or catching prey. And it’s not only the great big mammals that excel. Birds are also considered to be massively intelligent and insects can perform real miracles. English 49 minutes

Life is filled with magical moments. Some are extra-special. A seducing look, an irresistible move, a sexy signal; in the animal world every species has their own flirtatious code to find the right mate. Success is only guaranteed if the seducer has done his homework and knows how to apply ‘The Art of Seduction.’ English 49 minutes

In nature, appearances can be deceptive. In all corners of the world animals have evolved to avoid their predators or successfully catch their prey, by appearing to disappear! Whether hidden in the undergrowth or out in the open, thanks to the colour of their skin, fur or feathers, they can become invisible. These magicians come in all sizes and live in all environments ranging from tiny insects and underwater agents of deceit, to the mega-mammals of the African plains. They are true ‘Masters of Disguise’. English 49 minutes

Mathematics has been described as the science of patterns, and in this first episode, we examine the mathematical principles that underlie some of nature’s most beautiful and dramatic displays. And wherever we find these patterns and symmetries, we also find that nature seems to conform to certain rules... Rules that combine elegance with efficiency, and continue to baffle scientists by their often unfathomable ubiquity. English 12 minutes

This podcast’s purpose is to bring together the field of neuroprosthetics / brain machine interfaces / brain implants in an understandable conversation about the current topics and breakthroughs. We hope to replace needing to read scientific papers on new research in an easy to digest way. Then people can share thoughts or ideas to facilitate ‘idea sex’ to make the field of brain implants a smaller and more personal space English 90 minutes

It’s wet, muddy, slimy, and smells like rotten eggs: Sulfur Cave in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, is full of gases so toxic that a person who enters would pass out after just a few breaths. But that didn’t stop David Steinmann of the Denver Museum of Nature & Science. In this extreme environment, devoid of sunlight, Steinmann found clumps of tiny blood-red worms, each one just an inch long and as thin as a pencil lead. Now genetic analysis has confirmed that the worms are a new species that may not be found anywhere else on Earth. These tiny worms could even offer clues to the kinds of life that might be found on other planets. English 3 minutes

The Amazon forest has for centuries attracted the interest of scientists and explorers. Several explorers lost their lives and others lost their minds during the dangerous journey into the wilderness. A group of renowned scientists from Brazil’s National Institute of Amazon Researches took 10 years planning the most ambitious scientific expedition conducted into the Amazon forest in the 21st century. The destination: an area known as Serra da Mocidade. The goal: to discover new species. This unprecedented scientific adventure, which led to the description of more than 80 new species of animals, plants and insects, is the subject of New Species - The Expedition of the Century, a new documentary feature by GRIFA FILMES that shall be screened in movie theaters in Brazil and broadcast in Brazil and abroad next year.

It’s considered the discovery of the century in Japan - the unearthing of a complete fossilized skeleton of an 8-meter long dinosaur. It was dubbed Mukawaryu based on the name of the town in Hokkaido where it was uncovered. The find opened up a new world of dinosaur research in Japan. But it also created another mystery because this land dinosaur was discovered in a location that, eons ago, would have been in the ocean. How did the fossil get there? The amazing answer is revealed in this documentary, using CGI to re-create how dinosaurs lived 72 million years ago. English 49 minutes

18-30216 Earth & Sky

National Geographic, Darren Aronofsky and Nutopia join forces on an epic, cinematic series that re-defines science and natural history. Hosted by Will Smith, ONE STRANGE ROCK is a thrilling journey through the wonders of our planet, possibly the strangest place in the universe. It’s the extraordinary story of why life as we know it exists on Earth, brought into perspective by the only people to have left it behind: astronauts. This 10-part series takes cameras to 45 countries on six continents and into outer space, revealing the twists of fate that have allowed life to emerge and thrive on Earth. English 47 minutes

In this first-ever 3D virtual reality film shot in space, National Geographic takes you aboard the International Space Station to experience first-hand an astronaut’s perspective. Only 536 individuals have traveled off our planet, and for all looking back at our fragile blue globe has been transformative. When you’re aboard the ISS, hurtling around the globe at 17-thousand miles per hour, you spin around the planet every 92 minutes. For astronaut Chris Hadfield, this experience radically shifted his perception of time starting with his body clock and ultimately leaving him with an appreciation for the eternity of the earth itself. English

Our Perfectly Calibrated, Breathing Planet. For those privileged few who have seen Earth from space, the very first thing they notice is the thin blue line of atmosphere that clings to our planet and sustains life. How our planet creates and regulates that oxygen is a mind-blowing story involving a flying river, a global dust storm, collapsing glaciers and the most important creature you’ve never heard of. It’s an incredible chain of connections that reveal just how truly wondrous our home is. Everything connects, so life and planet breathe together English 47 minutes

Water. Turn on the faucet and it’s always there. Without it we perish. But how safe is our tap water? In this special report narrated by Joe Morton, NOVA investigates what happened in Flint, Michigan, when local officials changed the city’s water source to save money, but overlooked a critical treatment process. As the water pipes corroded, lead leached into the system, exposing the community--including thousands of children--to dangerous levels of poison. NOVA uncovers the science behind this manmade disaster-- from the intricacies of water chemistry to the biology of lead poisoning to the misuse of science itself. NOVA follows ordinary citizens and independent scientists who exposed the danger lurking in Flint’s water and confronted those who turned a blind eye. And discover the disturbing truth that reaches far beyond Flint--water systems across the country are similarly vulnerable. How can we protect ourselves from poisoned water?

Prediction by the Numbers Technology & Innovation

18-30229

Predictions underlie nearly every aspect of our lives, from sports, politics, and medical decisions to the morning commute. With the explosion of digital technology, the internet, and “big data,” the science of forecasting is flourishing. But why do some predictions succeed spectacularly while others fail abysmally? And how can we find meaningful patterns amidst chaos and uncertainty? “Prediction by the Numbers” explores stories of statistics in action and poses big questions: How much should we trust predictions made by algorithms when we don’t understand how they arrive at them? And how far ahead can we really forecast? English 53 minutes

Two weeks after the death of their matriarch, Victoria, wild elephants in Samburu National Reserve in northern Kenya continue to visit her remains and display unique behaviors seen only in their species. This video shows groups of elephant families using their trunks to touch and explore Victoria’s carcass while standing peacefully in place. This rarely seen event is giving researchers insight into the elephants’ social relationships. Though the researchers are hesitant to call this behavior “mourning,” they do believe elephants display a specific reaction in response to the death of one of their own. English 3 minutes

We live in an age when technological innovation seems to be limitlessly soaring. But for all the satisfying speed with which our gadgets have improved, many of them share a frustrating weakness: the batteries. Though they have improved in last century, batteries remain finicky, bulky, expensive, toxic, and maddeningly short-lived. The quest is on for a “super battery,” and the stakes in this hunt are much higher than the phone in your pocket. With climate change looming, electric cars and renewable energy sources like wind and solar power could hold keys to a greener future...if we can engineer the perfect battery. Join host David Pogue as he explores the hidden world of energy storage, from the power--and danger--of the lithium-ion batteries we use today, to the bold innovations that could one day charge our world.

SIXTEEN LEGS: Journey to the Queen of the Dark Engaging Young Scientists

18-30259

Journey into a magical ecosystem hidden beneath one of the world’s last great wildernesses, where giant prehistoric spiders the size of dinner plates seek love in the dark. This real-world “Charlotte’s Web” showcases animals that outlasted the dinosaurs, survived the splitting of the continents and that have endured the entirety of human civilisation in Australia’s deepest caves. This film celebrates the wonder of an ecosystem that preceded us and may still outlast us. [This is a special 52 minute version for younger students]. English 52 minutes

Size Matters

Science of Life

Skunk Bear with Adam Cole 18-30260

Why are insects small and planets big? Why is Earth not the size of Jupiter, or why aren’t people the size of mice? And what would happen if we changed all that? This larger-than-life two-part special will show that when it comes to the universe, size really does matter. We’ll take the audience to a series of parallel worlds where size can be changed, and in so doing, we’ll answer the biggest (and the smallest) questions in the universe in the most unforgettable way.

Biologist Walter Koenig, a professor emeritus of Cornell University, has been studying Acorn Woodpeckers at the Hastings Natural History Reservation in Carmel Valley, California for more than 40 years. Every summer, Koenig and his colleagues climb massive trees to capture and mark hundreds of new woodpecker chicks with colored leg bands, so they can follow individuals and families year after year. They have discovered a complex tug-of-war between cooperation and conflict within these woodpecker groups. And the huge dataset they have amassed over four decades has yielded surprising answers to one of evolutionary biology’s biggest questions: why cooperate? English 8 minutes

Most scorpions are harmless to humans, but in the deserts of North America, one group of species, collectively called striped bark scorpions produce venom that is potentially lethal and extremely painful. Despite their potent venom, striped bark scorpions are still a favorite meal of a small rodent called the grasshopper mouse. After decades of work, biologists have discovered that this tiny mouse may be the key to explaining how and why striped bark scorpion venom is so toxic. English 8 minutes

The Case for Saving PARASITES. Science Ambassador

18-30297

Claude Shannon laid the foundation for the information age in a revolutionary paper in 1948. In 1986, a journalism student visits the forgotten Shannon to learn how this reclusive genius saw the future. But Shannon is more interested in showing off the gadgets he’s been working on (juggling robots, a mechanical mouse that can “learn” a maze, a wearable computer to win at roulette, a flame-throwing trumpet) than rehashing the past. Using contemporary interviews, archival footage, animation and an “interview” based on audio transcripts, The Bit Player reveals a man who revolutionized the world, but never lost his child-like curiosity. English 90 minutes

“The Brain’s Way of Healing” is about neuroplasticity’s invaluable next step - healing the mind and the body. It’s revolutionary and in some instances shocking - it’s how science and medicine are looking at the brain in different ways and showing that people are finding hope where no hope existed before. English 54 minutes

PARASITE. Doesn’t the word just make your skin crawl? Despite our “ick” reaction to these animals, wildlife parasites -- those that don’t directly infest or impact human health -- play important and largely misunderstood roles in their environments. And today, some are under threat of habitat loss and extinction, as their host species populations -- like those of Giant pandas, and the lesser-known Indian pygmy hog -- decline. With the help of parasitologists Colin J. Carlson and Dr. Anna J. Phillips, Emily Graslie argues for the study and conservation of wildlife parasites. English 10 minutes

Is it the latest gene scandal or a blessing for medicine and agriculture? CRISPR is a new tool in the gene laboratory which allows scientists to change the genetic material of all living organisms with great precision. Researchers are developing therapies for diseases regarded until now as incurable; plants with new characteristics are being created. But at the same time the designer baby is also suddenly within reach. How far should medicine or agriculture be allowed to go? The film looks for answers - critically and sophisticatedly - and examines old prejudices. Researchers, ethicists and critics are agreed on one thing: society urgently needs to debate the opportunities and boundaries of this new dimension in genetic engineering, because CRISPR affects all our lives.

Humans just don’t give birth like they used to -- evolutionarily speaking, that is. The act of permanently walking upright forever changed the shape and size of the human body’s pelvic opening. This, along with other factors, leads to increasing complications when it comes to human birthing practices. In the Evolution of Human Birth, The Brain Scoop, with the help of biological anthropologist Dr. Robert Martin, discusses whether our inability to give birth easily has impacted the mortality rates for both mother and child over the last century.

The Lizard’s Tale is the story of a thirtyyear quest to reveal the fundamental rules of nature. Is evolution predictable? How are species organized into ecosystems? And how fast can evolution happen? Scientists’ clearest view into nature’s rulebook comes from an unlikely creature: a tiny lizard called an anole. Dr. Jonathan Losos and his colleagues have studied anoles for decades. In the seven episodes of The Lizard’s Tale, you’ll learn why anoles have become a workhorse for biologists like Losos, and how these seemingly ordinary lizards have transformed our understanding of evolution, ecology, and animal behavior.

The Macaw Kingdom Science Journalism

After years of preparation, zoologist George Olah finally got what he wanted. A special permission from the government of Peru. The 50+ page document gave him access to the Holy Grail of parrot researchers: the Candamo Basin, in the Peruvian Amazon. A place where wildlife exists without any human disturbance since the beginning of times. Surrounded by the foothills of the Andes, the Candamo Basin hosts one of the very few uninhabited tropical rainforest of the world. Not even native tribes had settled here and decades had passed since the last camera team dared to sail the hostile rapids of the Candamo river. In February, 2016 the nine members of an international scientific expedition finally got onboard of an Amazonian motorized canoe. It took 4 days for them to reach the location. After setting up their base camp in the rainforest, researchers climbed giant trees, investigated nest hollows, captured and tagged young macaws and collected blood samples and feathers for genetic analysis. But doing serious scientific work in the Amazon is not an easy feat. Jaguars visit the camp, wasps attack the climbers and parasites hunt and bite every free piece of skin. Despite all the challenges the team returns to the lab with the invaluable samples that can help us understand the status of an isolated parrot population. English 52 minutes

Australia’s vast North West corner is a startling landscape. It’s geology includes some of the world’s most ancient rock, inland mesas pockmarked by Devonian sea life through to rock faces so old, they predate life. But Australia’s Outback is much more than desert and rock. We journey through the diverse landscapes of this region as two distinct seasons, ‘the wet’ and ‘the dry’ dictate the cycles of life. It’s a frontier existence and it takes a tough hide to survive. English 54 minutes

After NOAA scientists attach a satellite transmitter to the critically endangered Pacific leatherback sea turtle found feeding on giant jellyfish in the nutrientrich waters of Monterey Bay, California, they uncover an unprecedented epic 7,000-mile migration across the Pacific to the leatherback’s remote nesting beaches in Indonesia. This discovery has lead to one of the greatest challenges conservation faces in the western Pacific today-the protection of the Pacific leatherback’s last remaining nesting beach. This awe-inspiring and unique short nature film exposes the seldom seen beauty of the leatherback turtle and reveals the scientific research and conservation currently underway. Viewers will learn some simple tips as to how they can help this magnificent ancient creature survive in its modern world. English 8 minutes

18-30331

When birds need sleep, they do it on the fly--quite literally. They’re able to enter a special kind of “half-sleep” state that lets them rest midair. It’s an important skill for some migratory birds, like Alpine swifts and frigatebirds. Logging thousands of miles at a time, they stay aloft for months without touching down. A recent scientific study reveals that they’re taking crucial naps during these extended flights. Glide into the astounding world of avian sleep and find out just how they do it. English 4 minutes

Diving in to explore underwater slumber, Dozing Dolphins playfully visualizes “unihemispheric slow-wave sleep,” the fascinating form of “half-brain sleep” that allows dolphins to swim, and surface for air without waking up. We’ll reveal the reasons why dolphins have evolved this unique sleeping style. From safety in numbers to keeping their blubbery body warm, this adaptation provides marine mammals a sleep style perfectly suited for the life aquatic. Throughout the short series, The Secret World of Animal Sleep, hand-drawn, handpainted, puppet animation style, playfully toes the line between the real and the imagined. Lighthearted characters and environments emphasize the dreamlike world of sleep, providing a visually pleasing palette to deliver complex scientific concepts that illustrate the neuroscience of animal sleep in the wild.

In the spring of 2015, a murder mystery unfolds on the vast grassland plains of Kazakhstan. Hundreds of thousands of saiga antelope, gathered together to calve, begin to drop dead without explanation. Across an area the size of the United Kingdom, and in the span of only several days, their populations are nearly wiped out. The scale is massive. Epidemiologist Richard Kock has never seen anything like it in his entire career - a pathogen that kills 100% of its hosts is simply not the norm. Under Kock’s guidance, researchers discover that the culprit is a strain of Pasteurella, one that occurs naturally in the antelope’s microbiome. So what triggered it to become so deadly, killing 220,000 animals seemingly overnight? An investigation is launched to get to the bottom of this disastrous death on the steppe...

The global economy is in crisis. The exponential exhaustion of natural resources, declining productivity, slow growth, rising unemployment, and steep inequality, forces us to rethink our economic models. Where do we go from here? In this feature-length documentary, social and economic theorist Jeremy Rifkin lays out a road map to usher in a new economic system. A Third Industrial Revolution is unfolding with the convergence of three pivotal technologies: an ultra-fast 5G communication internet, a renewable energy internet, and a driverless mobility internet, all connected to the Internet of Things embedded across society and the environment. This 21st century smart digital infrastructure is giving rise to a radical new sharing economy that is transforming the way we manage, power and move economic life. But with climate change now ravaging the planet, it needs to happen fast. Change of this magnitude requires political will and a profound ideological shift. English 104 minutes

Toxic Bees--Human Intervention is a science program born of Taiwan Public Television Service’s concerns regarding environmental sustainability. Taking mass bee deaths as a point of departure, the program chronicles a litany of agrochemical misuse that has harmed both human health and the environment, and probes the shortcomings and blind spots inherent in current government policy. The viewer is left with a sobering message: the misuse of agrochemicals is creating an irreversible disaster. English 59 minutes

Dying from diseases like ALS and Alzheimer’s is a tormenting process. The illnesses are on the increase and scientists believe an environmental toxin is to blame. Toxic Puzzle is a medical and environmental detective story where documentary filmmaker Bo Landin follows Cox and his team around the world in a hunt for the hidden killer. The pieces come together in a toxic puzzle where cyanobacteria in our waters becomes the culprit. Are these organisms, fed by human pollution and climate change, staging nature’s revenge by claiming human lives? A film by award winning director Bo Landin. Narrated by Harrison Ford. English 83 minutes

Discover a novel method to studying elusive carnivores using snow! Researchers rely on finding snow tracks of animals to estimate their distribution, which often leads to labor-intensive studies without conclusive results. Join two scientists - Jessie and Tommy - as we learn how they developed a unique partnership to increase the ease and accuracy with which we study threatened species, including the charismatic lynx. Created during the 2018 IWFF Filmmaker Labs, this film highlights the importance of conservation through collaboration by bringing together the scientific minds of two distinct branches of The U.S. Forest Service.

Trophic Cascades in a Salt Marsh Ecosystem Short Program

18-30357

This piece, featured in the exhibition Our Senses, incorporates cutting-edge machine learning and computer vision algorithms and presents them in a fun and easy to understand way. Our exhibit lets users help ‘train a brain’ to recognize objects assembled by visitors. Our Machine Learning experience presents visitors with a challenge. Using lasercut acrylic pieces placed on a sensing surface, visitors must create a shape the computer will recognize. Combinations include flowers, faces and houses, which challenge our “AI brain” to guess. A projection mapped interface displays instructions and results, while a Kinect and capacitive sensors power the table. English

Someone asked Skunk Bear how long it would take to walk to the moon. The incredible answer: the average human life contains enough time and energy to make it that distance. That’s inspiring to me, so I made this 360∞ video to simulate the journey. David Bowie--who we lost two years ago today--provides the soundtrack. English 5 minutes

Utah Climate Challenge is an onsite multiplayer game installed in the Natural History Museum of Utah’s Utah Futures Gallery. The game invites visitors to work together to design a future they hope for as they tackle the challenges of climate change and its myriad impacts. Players make choices about how best to provide energy, food, and fun to a growing population while adapting to or mitigating the impacts of the changing climate. An asynchronous, round-based multiplayer format was created to address the challenges of group dynamics in a busy museum environment. A large projection screen is controlled by five terminals where players can join at any time. The projected “world” is both a spectacle for observers and a crucial feedback device for players. Utah Climate Challenge is only a game, but it’s one in which the players have agency to envision positive change in the face of one of humanity’s biggest challenges. English

One billion of us take a vitamin or supplement regularly - or give one to our children. Some doctors point to research that shows they can be lifesavers. Many others claim that most vitamin products are useless, and some are downright dangerous. All of this provokes confusion. In a world where even the scientists disagree, how do we decide whether to take them, or not? How do we separate the sense from the nonsense? Dr Derek Muller takes us on an epic journey, a world-spanning investigation of vitamin science and history. What he uncovers will confound opinions on all sides. English 90 minutes

The relationship between humans and wolves is prehistoric, and today, they are some of the most highly studied animals on our planet. The Brain Scoop looks into the history of wolf populations in the United States after western colonization, how recent hybridization events between wolves and coyotes (sometimes called “coywolves”) is throwing a big wrench into our understanding of these species -- and how these nuances could become big factors in upcoming decisions about wolf conservation in America.

But long before those senses come into play, your sense of smell is painting you a detailed olfactory picture of the outside world. This is why smell, more than any other sense now has the power to transport you through time and space....... With original music composed by Timo Baker, Wonderful You is an immersive, mind-blowing experience taking you back to a time and a place all of us have visited, but none of us can English 17 minutes

Today the video game industry is a global phenomenon, with over 1.2 billion gamers across the planet, and sales projected to pass $100 billion per year. An entire generation has now grown up playing them, but just like TV and film before them, they are not without controversy. This film enters this explosive digital world to uncover the evidence. We wanted to discover if playing video games really can turn players into aggressive monsters, what video games are really doing to our brains and could there even be hidden benefits to gaming? English 60 minutes

In a world...where healthcare spending is out of control, what if we could get better data, spend pennies on the dollar, and get results in a fraction of the time? I give you the Zebrafish. Yes, those little stripped minnows you can buy at any aquarium store for a few bucks. Zebrafish: Practically People is a 10-minute, groundbreaking science documentary, in which a close-knit group of scientists explain - in easy-to-understand language - how the simple Zebrafish is a largely untapped treasure trove for understanding, treating and curing human diseases, including (but not limited to): oCancers, e.g., pancreatic, breast, leukemia and glioblastoma oDiabetes oHeart disease oOpioid addiction oAlzheimer’s disease oAutism oRare diseases, such as Prader-Willi Syndrome How is this possible? We (the human species) and Zebrafish share 70% of the same genes. Plus, 84% of our genes known to be associated with human genetic disease have a Zebrafish counterpart. And that’s just the beginning.
