Science TV

During the early part of this year, the American Institute of Physics and nineteen other scientific organizations are cooperating in the production of twenty half‐hour telecasts “designed to keep the layman, as well as scientists and engineers, up to date on developments in the scientific and engineering fields”. The project, called “Science and Engineering Television Journal,” is being underwritten by the National Science Foundation and the Timken Roller Bearing Company, and coordinated by the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Distribution of the telecasts will be handled by the National Educational Television Network, which will carry the series to more than 75 stations in 32 states and the District of Columbia.
