The Dolan DNA Learning Center has had a strong web presence since the early
days of the World Wide Web in 1993. With support from private and federal
foundations, we continue to develop educational, content-based Internet
sites for audiences from middle school to adults. Follow the links to learn
more about the development of each site or to go directly to the site.

Here at NOVA, we believe that science is neither sacred lore nor secret
ritual, but rather curious people exploring interesting questions. NOVA's
approach, developed over more than a quarter century, is to select a topic
of great interest to viewers and then produce a film that is as entertaining
as it is informative, using the tools of good pacing, clear writing, and
crisp editing. Equally important, NOVA shows the human story behind the
science story. Whether exploring a galaxy or an atom, the series delves into
the personalities responsible for the discoveries, and the social
consequences of events in the lab.
