SftPublic Programs 2010

In 2010 we began recording our programs through community TV at the Belmont Media Center, Belmont Massachusetts. We experimented with studio recording of lectures in addition to lectures at Cambridge Public Library, Cambridge, MA. Two of the studio lectures, Jurassic Genome and Understanding How Life Began are recordings of lectures originally presented at the 2009 Boston Public Library. Those two presenters kindly returned in 2010 to make studio recordings of their lectures from 2009. In September 2010 we launched a second program, Contemporary Science Issues and Innovations. We also became a WGBH Forum Network partner, which helped us reach a wider audience.
