NOVA scienceNOW
“Leeches”--Leeches, those innocent bloodsuckers, have been bad-mouthed to the point that they’ve become synonymous with obnoxious freeloaders. Even host Neil deGrasse Tyson is creeped out while wading through leech-infested waters with scientist Mark Siddall, who runs the leech lab at the American Museum of Natural History.
“SETI”--In 1960, a curious astronomer named Frank Drake aimed a radio telescope at a couple of nearby stars and started listening. More than 40 years later, we’re still listening, and SETI — the search for extraterrestrial intelligence — has just expanded big-time to begin the systematic survey of millions of star systems for signs of advanced civilizations.
“Stem Cells”--Researchers around the world are touting a possible new way of creating embryonic-like stem cells — without the embryo. Japanese researchers were the first to discover a way to “turn back the clock” on adult skin cells to create what look like embryonic stem cells — special cells normally found in a growing embryo that have the ability to become any type of cell in the body.
“Edith Widder”--Go for a deep-sea dive with a scientist who is seeing things never before recorded on the ocean floor. Edie Widder is a specialist in marine bioluminescence, the biochemical emission of light by ocean animals that can light up the murky depths to an astonishing degree.

"Groundhog Day"
After two months in the Gulf, one day starts to become indistinguishable from the next. The airwing still hasn’t dropped a single bomb, which is frustrating for some on board. The only relief comes from a port call in Bahrain, where some sailors relax by the pool, while others visit a mosque and learn about Muslim culture. The Princeton, one of the escort ships in the Nimitz strike group, loses a man overboard; an intense search to find the lost sailor ensues.
