Episode #50: The Science and Entertainment Exchange

Jennifer Ouellette, director of the National Academy of Sciences' Science and Entertainment Exchange, and Jamie Paglia, co-creator and executive producer of the SyFy Channel’s EUREKA, will discuss their experiences connecting the entertainment industry with top scientists and engineers to bring the reality of cutting-edge science to engaging storylines. The Science & Entertainment Exchange bridges this gap and addresses the mutual need of the two communities by providing the credibility and the verisimilitude upon which quality entertainment depends. Spanning the range of science topics, from insects to military science to extraterrestrial life and the mysteries of the ocean, The Exchange can find experts to identify and effectively portray the science details that complement a storyline. By constructing an informational nexus between science and entertainment, The Exchange is able to facilitate a valuable connection between the two communities.
