Project X

Dynamic, smart, and above all curious, our team of top scientific investigators will do anything to find the solution. Even spend three hours underwater in a small tank. For science of course.

“Project X” is a new, half-hour themed series that sets out to explore the frontlines of science in an offbeat, entertaining, but intellectually challenging manner. A series that demonstrates to the viewer that science is everywhere in our lives… a passport to a hidden and constantly evolving world of knowledge and events.

Each week, we’ll approach a new theme from three very different scientific perspectives. Our core team – microbiologist Jennifer Gardy, engineer Brian Fleck, along with grad student Marc Huot, and science education expert Brian Alters – will be joined by experts from around the globe to give a 360° view of the science behind the world around us.

Tasked with a new theme each week, they explore it from every angle: They travel right to the source of the story to explore and carry out challenges and experiments to help explain the science. Always enthusiastic, always asking questions – they venture to the test labs and test backyards and kitchens to make their point.

The stories and themes belong in the realm of “mind-blowing” and “too crazy to be true”. It’s a mix of practical and wacky… backyard tinkerer to full- fledged scientist. But they are all stories that are based on some type of established scientific principles, which our expert team demystifies in an oh-so-clever and accessible way, making it relevant to a diverse audience.

From the latest in science and technology, to the people behind the headlines – all told with a compelling, unique and unexpected perspective: “Project X” will change the way that you think about the world around you.
