On March 3, 1974, @GBH's @novapbs made its public television debut. Half a century later, it is still one of @PBS's most popular series with ground-breaking science content reaching 55 million curious viewers like you each year. Happy 50th, NOVA! 🎉 #NOVA50


Watch my latest for @novapbs, produced in collaboration with the talented @emilyzendt, to learn why some experts were criticizing #OceanGateTitan’s unusual design even before the disaster.

OceanGate Expeditions’ Titan submersible had taken passengers down to the Titanic wreckage many times before the ill-fated trip that killed all five passengers on board. So, why did it fail?



Cases of a deadly fungal infection are increasing and this might be caused by climate change. That may sound like the plot of @TheLastofUsHBO but fortunately, this fungus is not going to hijack your body and turn you into a zombie. Watch my latest from @novapbs.

Most fungi can’t grow and reproduce in the human body because it’s too warm. But experts say they’re evolving—and a fungus called Candida auris is spreading rapidly in hospitals.



This was a really fun video to produce—and just in time for #SuperBowl. Watch my latest for @novapbs!

The way the spiral football pass travels through the air baffled physicists for years.



A lot of exciting space stories happened in 2022. Watch my latest for @novapbs to learn about 3 of them! #JWST #DART #Artemis1 #NASA #scicomm

From rocket launches, to dazzling new images, and even planetary defense, 2022 was a big year for space discovery.

After four decades, we are at the brink of what was once unthinkable—the end of HIV in America. “We have prevention; we have treatment; and we have testing,” says Dr. Monica Gandhi. What will it take to finally end the epidemic? #WorldAIDSDay pbs.org/wgbh/nova/vide…


In March 2022, the U.S. Senate approved a bill to make DST permanent. But some experts say it could come at a price to our health. Watch my latest for @novapbs to learn more! #SciComm #DaylightSavingTime #DST

A permanent switch to Daylight Saving Time could throw our internal clocks out of sync, experts say.

We are targeting the next launch attempt for the #Artemis I mission to the Moon for Nov. 14. Teams are on track to roll the @NASA_SLS rocket to the launch pad as early as Nov. 4. go.nasa.gov/3yAEatZ

IMPACT SUCCESS! Watch from #DARTMIssion’s DRACO Camera, as the vending machine-sized spacecraft successfully collides with asteroid Dimorphos, which is the size of a football stadium and poses no threat to Earth.

You’ve been there before: Neither a car crash nor construction project in sight, yet you’re stuck in a traffic jam. These are called “phantom” traffic jams—and some researchers think autonomous vehicles could help eliminate them. youtu.be/7CbVuF57VVk

As you may have heard The James Webb Space Telescope will be releasing "data from its first five targets" on Tuesday. I'm no astronomer but here's what I've gathered about what that means, and what we'll see.

If you’re against facing the racism of the past … you’re benefiting from the racism of the present.
