We Discover

Enjoy the compelling journeys of We Discover's researchers, innovators, and explorers as they take you to the prehistoric planet and the future, and all around the world and into space. You will discover marine life deep in our oceans, insects in the grasslands, primates and predators in the jungles of Africa, the habits of whales and bears in the Arctic, glaciers in the planet's highest mountain ranges, and fossils in deserts and buried in the frozen mountains of Antarctica. You will be taken down into the microscopic world and up to the sun and way out to the outer solar system, and to a comet and a few planets in between. The neuroanatomy of the brains and emotions of humans and other animals are explored, as well as the psychology of the human mind. Learn about the immortal jellyfish, what moss in the intestines of a 5,000-year-old iceman mummy discovered in the Alps informs us, the engineering of machines for astrophysical sciences and human biologic electromaterials, and even real tractor beams! And meet the human actors here. Uncover their many diverse paths to discovery and innovation, as well as their trials, rejections, failures, and successes, their motivations and philosophies, moments of doubt and epiphany. Find out what it is like to work in their labs and out in the field, on toboggans on the Antarctic snow or infusing carbon isotopes in a North American forest undergrowth. Experience who, what, how, where, and why we discover.
