When Gino Del Guercio was developing a new science-themed pilot for PBS, he turned to the past, the present, and the future.

德

A coproduction of Boston Science Communications, Inc., and Towers Productions, 22nd Century is one of three science-themed pilots that PBS is testing throughout January. The program that receives the best ratings and viewer reviews will be developed into a 10-part PBS series, beginning in fall 2007.

“World Wide Mind” airs on Wednesday, January 17, at 8 p.m. The program can also be downloaded from www.pbs.org/22ndcentury or for free from the iTunes store.
