Science on TV

How good is the science on entertainment TV? Better than one might expect, it turns out -- or, at least, that's what the PR people want us to believe. Two recent stories (available to Cornell students through Nexis-Lexis, but harder to get directly online) are:

Brink, Susan. "Prime Time to Learn." Los Angeles Times, 13 November 2006.

Weed, Speed. "Pop CSI: How Science Conquered TV." Popular Science, January 2007. (May be available at http://www.popsci.com/popsci/science/0bc2323776c9f010vgnvcm1000004eecbccdrcrd.html)
