[extropy-chat] The Cable Science Network

[Giu1i0 Pri5c0]

Imagine turning on your television - any time of day or night - and watching
a heated debate about the impact of science on your life, from stem-cell
research and cloning to the use of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in
your food; from the biology of violence to the chemistry of addiction; from
the puzzles of depression to the latest breakthroughs on aging; from the
evolution of morality to the complexities of consciousness; from the
exploration of space to the discovery of life beyond Earth. The Cable
Science Network follows the model of C-SPAN: live, unedited, balanced access
to the major forums where public policy is discussed. Production values are
largely irrelevant. What counts is simple, unvarnished information. In the
same way, the CSN can encourage, and enlarge, the national conversation
about science. The CSN has been recently covered by Wired and Slashdot: it
would be wonderful to have things like talks and plenary sessions accessible
to the public. There are a lot of C-SPAN junkies, and I think there would be
a similar interest (in science TV) from the American public.
