Discovery Channel is currently running a series called "The Brain: Our 
Universe Within."  This is more or less an update of the series "The Brain" 
from about a decade ago.  The producers for this series (a Japanese crew) 
filmed a cryonics segment at Alcor about a year ago.  While I haven't heard 
for sure, if Alcor got kept in it we should be on Tuesday night's segment 
#5: "Matter over Mind."   

It is also possible we were cut, or that it is on #3 or #4 tonight.  Or that 
there are more segments to come in the future.  We'll be taping to find out.

Otherwise, the first two episodes seem about at the same level as the first 
series: educated college student or adult, who doesn't know much about the 
brain.  Some of you won't see much new, I suspect, but many will.  One 
especially interesting section last night was an interview with a 
female college professor who is autistic.  

The graphics for the show are very pretty, and mostly informative.

It's likely to be shown several other times on Discovery over the next year.

Steve
