On the next NOVA, join news correspondent Robert Krulwich for the
fifth episode in our new magazine series, NOVA scienceNOW, airing
five times a year. We will present a special year-end edition
produced in collaboration with Discover magazine -- a fast-paced
round-up of a collection of the year's most groundbreaking and
curious science stories, including:

Ivory-Billed Woodpecker
An enchanting bird believed extinct mysteriously
reappears...maybe.

Pandemic Flu
Will the virus that causes bird flu develop the ability to move
from person to person?

10th Planet
A stunning discovery at the far reaches of our solar system
raises questions about what makes a planet a planet.

Stronger Hurricanes
Is global warming making hurricanes more intense?

Also, a profile of Tulane University cancer researcher Tyler Curiel,
who risked everything to save a medical treasure in the midst of
Hurricane Katrina; a look at edible meat made in the lab; an update
to our April 2005 story on the ethics of stem cell research; a music
video about prime numbers; and more.

The journey continues on the NOVA scienceNOW Web site 365 days a
year. Watch the hour-long episode again, take a virtual taste test
of lab-made meat, e-mail scientists from the broadcast with your
questions, and sign up for our podcast.
