CONQUERING CANCER

Teen cancer survivor explores medical careers with help of PBS Emperor Science Award

T STARTED WITH A LITTLE PAIN in his back that bothered him when he practiced his gymnastics; later that pain became a knot. When it didn’t go away, the then 11-year-old’s parents took him to the doctor and the lump was biopsied. It was cancer; a rare kind, it turned out. Now 16, Will Broomhead is cancer-free and an avid student at the Kenton County Academies of Innovation and Technology. In the special half-day program he attends, Will explores the biomedical sciences and dreams of the day he can join the ranks of cancer researchers looking for a cure for the disease that so devastated his young life. “Because of the cancer, and even more specifically, because of all the amazing doctors that I had — they really changed my entire life and it really drove me to be like them and do exactly what they do,” he said. With the encouragement of his school’s staff, Will applied for the Emperor Science Award, a program designed to empower high-school students to become the next generation of scientists by exploring careers in cancer research and care through a mentoring opportunity. Sponsored by PBS and Stand Up to Cancer, the award was created following the broadcast of Ken Burns’ Cancer: The Emperor of All Maladies. “As soon as I heard about the mentoring opportunity, I knew the program was exactly what I was looking for,” said Will. “I wanted to

he Emperor Science Awards are an amazing opportunity for these students to expand their learning by participating in the handson research that may one day lead to a cure for all cancers. Expanding learning opportunities is at the heart of so much that KET does. Fifty years ago, KET was founded on the guiding principle that learning could and should be accessible, equalized, and expanded through quality instructional content delivered via television to every school in the state, regardless of location or resources. Through the years, this idea has grown exponentially as new technologies have presented new opportunities. Today, KET delivers a wealth of K-12 resources through KET.org/education and PBS LearningMedia, serves adult learners seeking to improve their workforce skills, and provides a dedicated 24/7 KET PBS KIDS channel. Congratulations to Will, as well as the other Emperor Science winners. We look forward to all you’re capable of accomplishing. Sincerely,

NEW NINE-PART SERIES TRACES THE POWER OF ART FROM DAWN OF HUMAN HISTORY

2 018

Explore the story of art from the dawn of human history to the present day in this new, nine-part series inspired by Civilization, Kenneth Clark’s landmark 1969 series about Western art. This bold new series reveals the role art and the creative imagination have played in the forging of humanity itself, and introduces a new generation to works of beauty, ingenuity, and illumination created across cultures and continents. From the landscape scrolls of classical China and the sculpture of the Olmecs to African bronzes, Japanese prints, and French Impressionist paintings, Civilizations explores the wealth of treasures created by cultures around the globe. Throughout the series, which runs through May, you’ll behold a wealth of treasures created by cultures around the globe. Principal contributors include art historian Simon Schama, the University of Cambridge’s Mary Beard, BritishNigerian historian and writer David Olusoga, and many other experts. And you’ll travel around the world among such cultural landmarks as the great mosques of Istanbul, the ancient cities of Mesoamerica, the Buddhist caves of Ajanta in India, and the funeral site of China’s first emperor. The series explores a sweeping range of topics, including the earliest human cultural artifacts and the representation of the body in art, what happens when different civilizations encounter each other, and the nature of “renaissances” around the world. Underlying the series will be an exploration of the premise that it is through the creative imagination that humanity expresses its most essential self and looks for the fundamental meaning of life.

Season 1 opens with the discovery of a skeleton in a basement; is it centuries-old, or decades? A pocket diary lends clues. The second season, beginning April 29, features the discovery of a gruesome corpse sealed inside a suitcase.

13 Vermeer: Beyond Time KET Friday, April 13 • 9:30/8:30 pm With a close examination of individual paintings, this new program teases out what has come to be known as the Vermeer style — the representation of light, the interplay of color, and the effects of perspective across places and objects. Vermeer’s paintings depict a world inhabited by refined and cultivated women, respectful or troublesome servants, charming young people, and learned men. Narrated by Steve Martin, the program focuses on both Johannes Vermeer’s work and his family life, and ponders his habit of ruthless elimination of objects and other details that serve no purpose — resulting in images that suspend time and leave viewers wanting to know more.

This new series presents four leading voices of musical theater: two-time Tony winner Sutton Foster; Tony winner Leslie Odom Jr., Tony nominee Stephanie J. Block; and Tony nominee Andrew Rannells. Blending the intimacy of a cabaret with Broadway’s razzle-dazzle, each program features one of these performers illuminating their musical journey to stardom, revisiting favorite songs, and offering glimpses of future projects. The performances also include appearances from additional guest stars, including Jonathan Groff and more.

This riveting two-part documentary delves into a rarely explored side to the infamous romance between King Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson. Unbeknownst to the couple, intelligence agencies were tracking their phone calls and recording their conversations, and the revealed dialogues would become part of great modern controversy. Featuring secret files of the spies, contemporaneous conversations, and interviews with eyewitnesses still living today, this program looks at what may be the most contentious instance of surveillance in British history.

25 Nova Wonders KET Begins Wednesday, April 25 • 9/8 pm KET2 Begins Sunday, May 6 • 8/7 pm With its emphasis on provocative and unanswered questions, this new series follows researchers on the winding paths of uncertainty and the unknown. Among the intriguing topics pondered are the secret language of animals, what’s hidden in the human body, the artificial intelligence technologies that could rival and surpass the abilities of the human mind, the controversial power to engineer life in a lab, and the mysteries of the universe.

The program features the work of high-school students in a Western Kentucky University program who, each summer, study the Holocaust and create the murals. A screening was also held in Bowling Green at the National Corvette Museum.

Members of the Friends of KET recently met with state legislators and thanked them for their support. KET Friends Board President Donna Wear spoke to Rep. Steven Rudy, R-Paducah.

Educators learn to integrate technology in teaching with KET

In early March, KET was on hand to consult with and provide information to teachers at the annual Kentucky Society for Technology in Education (KySTE) conference in Louisville. This year KETâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s education staff trained teachers in crafting high-quality programs in media arts. These programs incorporate technology, like video production, with elements from dance, drama, music, and visual arts. Teachers also learned from KET how to introduce coding to young children, use green screen for class projects, and enrich student research with PBS LearningMediaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s over 120,000 free digital resources.

THANKS! KET thanks you for helping with $3 million annual programming cost Thanks to our donors, sponsors, and volunteers, KET’s on-air fundraiser ensured that PBS programming continues. Donations are still being accepted at KET.org/donate or (800) 866-0366. Volunteer host Chip Polston thanks US Bank Regional President Perry Allen for the gifts of time and treasure his team give in support of KET’s education services, programs, and events.

Valvoline volunteers have participated in TeleFund for 38 years. As we celebrate KET’s 50th anniversary, we thank Valvoline for its founding role in the establishment of KET’s transmission network.
