This series is not just for folks who got A’s in high school chemistry.
The scientists are such good storytellers, their subjects so
provocative and the conversation so easygoing that all you have to do
is bring your mind (and a friend). Robert Krulwich of Nova Science Now, an NPR regular and an ABC News correspondent, is the host. Students admitted at half price with ID.

Pulitzer
Prize winners Edward O. Wilson and Bert Hoelldoebler of The Ants expand
our knowledge of social insects in their new work, The Superorganism:
The Beauty, Elegance, and Strangeness of Insect Societies. They explain
how superorganisms—tightly knit colonies of individuals, formed by
altruistic cooperation, complex communication and division of
labor—represent one of the basic stages of biological organization, and
further posit how their study has led to important advances in our
understanding of how life evolved from simple to complex forms. A
Harvard professor for nearly five decades, Wilson is the author of more
than 20 books and the recipient of the National Medal of Science.
Hoelldoebler is a professor at Arizona State University and the
recipient of numerous awards.
