(Check your local listings as dates and times may vary.)
Host and astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson examines new findings on dark matter, regaining lost memories, the art and science of digital forensics, and how a crowd can prove "smarter" than each of its individual members.
Dark Matter
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/sciencenow/0301/01.html
Turns out most of the universe is held together by a mysterious,
invisible substance.
Of Mice and Memory
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/sciencenow/0301/02.html
Mice placed in enriched environments can recover lost memories,
giving hope to those who study Alzheimer's.

This self-proclaimed "accidental scientist" is a digital
detective inventing new ways to tell if photos have been faked.
Wisdom of the Crowds
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/sciencenow/0301/04.html
Ask enough people to estimate something, and the average of their
guesses will get you surprisingly close to the right answer.
The journey continues on the NOVA scienceNOW Web site. Watch the entire hour-long episode online starting June 26. E-mail scientists from the broadcast with your questions. Explore a virtual world with eight elements that may be critical for aging people to maintain
their mental health, try to tell real from digitally faked photos, and watch video extras.
Also, Links & Books, the program transcript, and more:
