The great extinction event of educational television. Once upon a time, Discovery Channel was the natural habitat for magnificent science documentaries that roamed freely across our screens. Now those majestic programs have been hunted to near extinction and replaced with invasive species of reality shows about people yelling at fish. The ecological niche that once supported fascinating explorations of quantum physics and deep ocean trenches now sustains only "Man Finds Old Thing in Garage" and "Angry Person Catches Crab." Science communication's natural selection apparently favors drama over data. Darwin would be disappointed.
