Course description

Mind-Blowing Science is back! Season 2 of our National Capital Emmy® Award-winning series has arrived and it’s chock full of even more mind-blowing moments as a new batch of Scientific American’s most intriguing articles are brought to life.

For those who are not already familiar with the venerable publication Scientific American, it was founded in 1845 and is the oldest continuously published magazine in the United States. Devoted to covering the advances in research and discoveries that are changing our understanding of the world and shaping our lives, Scientific American provides insights and illumination about the most important developments at the intersection of science and society. More than 200 Nobel Prize winners have contributed to this flagship publication, along with thousands of scientific experts across dozens of subjects, including Albert Einstein.

We invite you to join more than a dozen esteemed experts and take a deep dive across a broad assortment of fascinating topics that range from the Antikythera mechanism to the 300 “close calls” the Earth has had with asteroids.
