In the summer of 2013, the producer and crew of the Discovery Channel’s Through the Wormhole filmed two times at my house for a special episode on stem cells.
I think it’s going to be a great show.
The stem cell episode will first air on the Science/Discovery Channel on Feb. 3 (check your local listings for time). Update: on West Coast, Comcast has Science Channel most often as Channel 272. I saw an ad for the stem cell episode saying 10PM (not sure if 10PM also West Coast or 7PM PT) on Feb. 3.
The episode includes me in a segment on cancer stem cells amongst other topics. The filming was a lot of fun, but also quite a bit of hard work. We filmed the first day for a whole day during a heat wave. I have a new appreciation for how challenging it is to put together a TV show. I was really impressed with the producer and the crew.
The show will also feature Stephen Hawking as well as Bob Lanza of Advanced Cell Technology. It’s exciting to be in a show with such illustrious company!
I’m really curious to see how my part and the whole episode turned out.
Happy to see you able to reach a national audience. The producers could not have made a better choice. Hopefully you remembered to plug the book and website 🙂
I suppose additional opportunities may arise, what a thrill it must be. Congratulations!
This awesome, i Did nor realize that you were on the program, too
