The National Public Media show The Best of our Knowledge, produced by WAMC Northeast Public Radio, has a long association with the New York Center for Astrobiology, airing regular broadcasts on research and education in astrobiology over the past 15 years (see this previous post). The show airing this week is a full-length feature highlighting the 2013 ExxonMobil Bernard Harris Summer Science Camp, in which teams of middle-school students designed missions to search for life on Mars. It includes interviews with students from the winning team and their parents, and with Professor Wayne Roberge representing the NYCA team. The camp is a vital component of the EPO program of the NYCA, and this show does an excellent job of showcasing its significance and the positive impact it had on the students that participated. The show is available on line at:
