Science makes for a good show-and-tell. There are experiments to do, pictures to make, animals to see, and ideas to debate. During the three years of this project, we made over 100 live-to-the-Web broadcasts, from places as far flung as the remote jungle of Belize and the glaciers of the South Pole. We watched as scientists unveiled never-before-seen images, and spent time with Nobel laureates. We even had the honor of chatting with scientists as their research was making headlines.

Our broadcasts reflect the vast landscape in which scientific research takes place today. There are conversations about widely accepted ideas, such as evolution and particle physics, and discussions of questions with murkier answers. What are the effects of a species on an ecosystem? What is the nature of the Higgs boson? Viewing our Webcasts, you can look over the shoulders of scientists, visit them where they work, and tour some of the world’s most elaborate machinery.

The Webcasts reflect the underlying structure of our project—looking at the people, places, tools, and ideas behind fundamental scientific research. Browsing the Webcasts by the location from which they were broadcast will give you a visceral sense of the places where science is happening. You will find these four thematic threads running through broadcasts from each place. Since there are so many Webcasts, here are some highlights:

(All Webcasts require the RealMedia player. Some of these links will launch the player directly.)
