  3. pgEd is Education Partner for New PBS Documentary
March 26, 2020Written by Nadine Vincenten

pgEd is excited to be partnering with WETA to produce educational materials to complement the upcoming Ken Burns and Barak Goodman documentary, “The Gene: An Intimate History” based on a book with the same title by Siddhartha Mukherjee. The two-part, four-hour film, which traces the history of genetic science from the earliest theories of inheritance through modern breakthroughs in genome editing and personalized medicine, will premier on local PBS stations on April 7 & 14.

Educators wishing to discuss topics from the film with students will find clips from the film paired with pgEd lesson plans on the PBS LearningMedia website.
