Nova will be showing a four part mini-series on Making Stuff starting January 19, 2011. Nova has a Preview of the show that looks very interesting. I did not expect the adventure and exploration aspect of the show but like the idea. It reminds me of Scientific American Frontiers shows with Woody Flowers and Alan Alda. The series was produced in cooperation with the Materials Research Society (MRS). I recall the announcement of the series at the 2009 Fall MRS meeting and expected it in the fall of this year. I'm eager to see it.
