WaveLengths: Portraits of a Scientist

Science fiction often portrays the people behind important research as mad scientists or evil geniuses. "WaveLengths: Portraits of a Scientist" (premiering Sunday, April 25 at 6:30 p.m. on PBS-HD Channel 6) dispels these notions by following the lives and the works of not-so-typical researchers and the interesting places they go, both inside and outside their labs. Segments include a woman who is a cancer researcher by day and self-defense instructor at night; a look at the scientist who solved one of Albert Einsteins toughest equations, and the largest scientific collaboration in the world: the Large Hadron Collider.
