This week our regular science writer Kayla is attending an important science conference and learning important sciencey stuff, so instead of our regular science article, we bring you a new show airing this month on PBS, exploring the science of Star Trek, hosted by LeVar Burton on the set of the Enterprise D.

WATCH Science Trek
Science Trek is repeating on various PBS stations, so check your local listings. And you can watch the full show at YouTube in a six part playlist. It is not embeddable, so click the image below to launch the YouTube playlist in a new window.

There is a promotional YouTube video embedded in the original article, but I am not going to be rude to TrekMovie.com so if you want to see it go to view the article; here.

I don't think it will be on until sometime in January because I checked the schedule on PBS for the next two weeks and didn't see it. It is a monthly program after all hopefully it's time will be advertised so we can post it here.

I saw Levar Burton "tweet" about this awhile ago, but I missed the showing in my area. I'm glad they have it on Youtube. Thanks for sharing!

So, then, he's got a new gig after the cancellation of "Reading Rainbow"?
