Weird Connections: The Roachmobile

Scientists have put a roach in the driving seat of an electric powered vehicle and sent it on a road trip around their laboratory. This bizarre experiment is no joke—it could be the first step in creating a new, seamless interface between living brains and machines. Mind-controlled typewriters, rat brains that can fly fighter planes and the world’s first cyborg—part human, part machine. This is not science fiction; it’s our future.

Cosmic Vistas

Shooting Gallery—Galactic Visions

Scientist long thought that our solar system consisted of the sun, the planets, and their moons. We soon found that we are far from alone, often coming into contact with asteroids, comets, and other debris. An unprecedented new age of space exploration has revealed the diversity, complexity, and downright beauty of our galaxy and universe.

Stories of BC Species at Risk

British Columbia is home to more wild plant and animal species than any other province in Canada. Alarmingly, 1,900 species are considered “at risk.” Four short films tell the stories of the western rattlesnake, the Duskywing butterfly, the barn swallow and the Oregon spotted frog. The films follow the biologists who study these species in their habitats and seek to protect them. Habitat loss is the greatest threat to BC’s biodiversity.​

Wondrous: the Forest and Sea of the Great Bear

Stunning photographs and nature sounds will transport you to the Great Bear Rainforest, where coastal temperate rainforest meets teeming cold-water seas. This region of the BC coast is one of the most productive and most spectacular ecosystems on Earth. Come experience the sights and sounds of this extraordinary place.
