Human Nature NOVA WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 9 7PM WORLD 9/10 5pm, 10pm; 9/11 6am

With an extraordinary new technology called CRISPR, we can now edit DNA— including human DNA. But how far should we go? Gene-editing promises to eliminate certain genetic disorders like sickle cell disease. But the applications quickly raise ethical questions. Is it wrong to engineer soldiers to feel no pain, or to resurrect an extinct species? And is there harm in allowing parents to choose their child’s features, like eye color or height? The scientists who pioneered human genome studies and CRISPR grapple with these questions.

Ari, Olive and Elinor in Animal Town

Elinor Wonders Why New Series Begins Monday September 7 MONDAY–FRIDAY 3PM; SATURDAYS 9AM MTPBS–KIDS 3:30pm daily

This animated series for preschoolers aims to encourage children to follow their curiosity, ask questions when they don’t understand and find answers using science inquiry skills. The main character Elinor, the most observant and curious bunny rabbit in Animal Town, introduces kids ages 3-5 to science, nature and community through adventures with her friends Ari, a funny and imaginative bat, and Olive, a perceptive and warm elephant. As kids explore Animal Town, they meet all kinds of interesting, funny, and quirky characters, each with something to teach us about respecting others, the importance of diversity, caring for the environment, and working together to solve problems.

Christopher Kimball’s Milk Street Television searches the world over for techniques and ingredients that can transform the way America cooks and eats – such as a new way to use spices, a simpler way to cook chicken, a fresh combination of ingredients, or a trick that turns everyday food into something special.
