Subscribe to Swapna's brand new show Far Out on PBS

Far Out explores the future of science, technology, and culture and how these changes may affect humanity and life on Earth. With pop culture and sci-fi references, the series will be humorous and fun, but unafraid to ask tough questions and explore unknowns.

Far Out is the inaugural show in a lineup of new STEM-related content coming to PBS Terra with support from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF)'s Advancing Informal STEM Learning (AISL) program. The grant will help elevate underrepresented voices in STEM media, in particular Black and Hispanic creators, as well as women in general.
