As we enjoy longer days, warmer weather, and the opportunity to embrace the outdoors once again, we have several recommendations for your viewing pleasure.
NOVA: Weathering the Future discusses our climate and the impact global warming has on our weather; an exciting aspect of the program is that it also showcases innovative solutions and visionary ideas.
Over the next several months, we will feature programs that provide the science behind environmental changes and continue to explore solutions.

We have several new programs that have just joined WHRO Passport. If you're like me, you've heard a lot about solar energy and its benefits, so you may be interested in the history of solar power and the scientist who first harnessed the sun's power. American Experience: The Sun Queen tells the story of Maria Telkes and her design of the first successful solar-heated house in 1948.
We also step back in time to follow four international stars as they learn about their grandparents' wartime experience and the impact of global conflict on their families.
I hope you enjoy these recommendations, as well as the ones below.
