And recently the prestigious Peabody awards, issued for excellence in electronic media, recognized a moving independent film, “Mapping Stem Cell Research: Terra Incognita.” The documentary explores the science, emotions and ethical complications of stem cell research through the story of a scientist who focused his research efforts on spinal cord injury after his daughter became paralyzed in a skiing accident.
Tonight, The New School in Manhattan will offer a free screening of “Terra Incognita,” followed by a discussion with the filmmakers and scientists involved. To see a trailer of the film, click on the link below:
