     Much Ado About Nothing: Shakespeare Globe Theatre

     One of Shakespeare's most comedic works, Much Ado About Nothing was probably written in 1598 or shortly thereafter. The comedy of Much Ado derives from the characters themselves and the manners of the society in which they live.

How did it happen that a relatively obscure, rural California University, best known for its veterinary, medical and agriculture programs, was able to pull together such a major roster of artists and teachers? Join Manuel Neri, Wayne Thiebaud and William T. Wiley as they reflect on the department.

     A Scientist Addresses Science Education

     Nobel Laureate physicist Leon Lederman takes a hard look at science education. The crisis in science education (pre-K--14) has been widely recognized at least since the report "A Nation at Risk" was published in 1983. This report accompanies a huge number of later reports all read and appreciated but never implemented. There is good reason for new optimism, but the persistent failure to implement the well understood cures must be understood before we can capitalize on the accumulating wisdom.

     Health Matters: Music and the Mind

     What can music teach us about the mind and in turn what can brain science reveal about music? Though interest in music and the mind dates as far back as Plato, it's only the past decade that the field of music neuroscience has really begun in earnest. Not only does music gives us a window into how our brain functions, but it also has therapeutic benefits to our health. To help us understand these connections, our host David Granet, MD, is joined by experts Aniruddh Patel, PhD, with The Neurosciences Institute, and Barbara Reuer, PhD, with Resounding Joy⌐ for this fascinating look at music and the mind.

     U.S. Civil-Military Relations in the 21st Century

     A strong relationship between civilian officials and senior military leaders is essential for sound policy-making and for the nation's security. Events of the past decade have strained that relationship, with some feeling that the military has become politicized and others lamenting a lack of informed civilian leadership. Nathaniel Fick examines the underlying principles and pragmatic guidelines for a healthy civil-military relationship.
