New DNA Files Aired

Five new one-hour programs in The DNA Files series of documentaries have been broadcast on 200 National Public Radio stations across the country since November 2001. These shows explore recent progress in genetics research and related ethical, legal, and social issues, all in easy-to-understand language. Produced by SoundVision and hosted by John Hockenberry, the new programs are

• Planet of the Bugs: The Never-Ending Tale of DNA and Infectious Disease;
• Life: How to Make a Cosmic Omelet;
• Genetic Medicine: Prescription for Conflict;
• DNA: Code of the Wild; and
• Search for the Fountain of Youth: The Genetics of Aging and Longevity.

Tapes and transcripts of the new series are available from 510/486-1185 or www.dnafiles.org/about/tapes.html. Transcripts of the first nine award-winning programs, featured on NPR stations in 1998, can be downloaded free from the same site. Five segments from the earlier series can be heard at www.ornl.gov/hgmis/education/audio.shtml
