The first episode of NOVA scienceNOW includes segments on the potential catastrophic flooding that threatens New Orleans; the "booming sands" of Death Valley; a profile of "swarm-robot" pioneer James McLurkin; a special report by series host Robert Krulwich on the brain system called "mirror neurons," which may affect everything from language evolution to the visceral appeal of spectator sports; and a whimsical look at the kinetic sculptures of artist Arthur Ganson.

On the Web, watch the hour-long episode again, read dispatches from the production team in the field as they develop new NOVA scienceNOW reports, test your knowledge of science sounds and facts, and take an interactive tour through profiled scientist James McLurkin's 20-year love affair with robots and snoop inside his backpack. Also, download an interview with mirror neuron expert Daniel Glaser for your portable audio player or listen online, and much more.
