Hi,

Be sure to tune in tonight, Wednesday Jan. 19, for the premiere episode of the new NOVA series "Making Stuff." In this four-part series, New York Times technology reporter David Pogue takes viewers on a tour of the material world we live in, with glimpses toward the future. Episodes include behind-the-scenes previews of scientific innovations that include a new generation of materials that are stronger, smaller, cleaner, and smarter. The series was created in cooperation with the Materials Research Society.

 "Making Stuff" resources include a collection of materials science activities and demonstrations developed in conjunction with the episodes. These outreach materials will help educators and scientists to engage audiences in both formal and informal settings. You can find them here: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/education/making-stuff.html.

Making Stuff will run on four consecutive Wednesday nights at 9 pm ET/PT on PBS, beginning January 19. Check your local listings to confirm your viewing times.

Happy viewing!

Margaret
