WIRED Science is a new weekly series that brings Wired magazine’s award-winning journalism, groundbreaking design and irreverent attitude to public television. WIRED Science combines reportage from WIRED with stories developed by the show’s producers to create a next-generation science and technology series - on air, online and in the classroom. Each week, WIRED Science correspondents take viewers to the frontiers of discovery across the country and around the world, spotlighting the cutting-edge innovations and research that are defining 21st-century culture, and introducing the high-tech mavericks who are making it happen.

3. TECHNOLOGY: Ziya Goes to NextFest
