School In the Time of Covid
During the pandemic, some schools remained closed. Other schools opened with a mix of in-person and remote learning. We visit BASIS Charter School in Oro Valley, where the hybrid model was in operation in the fall, to get a sense of the physical and mental toll it has had on teachers, students, and parents. (Originally aired in January 2021)
The Flying Memorial
The B-17 Flying Fortress was a key strategic asset for the allied forces in Europe during World War II. Not many of these planes or the brave men who flew aboard them are left. Today the Liberty Foundation is offering the chance to experience what it’s like to take a flight on one of these historic warplanes. (Originally aired in May 2020)
All About the Vaccines
Meet Deepta Bhattacharya. This Associate Professor at the University of Arizona’s Department of Immunobiology is deeply involved in research related to COVID-19. His lab is a leader in researching vaccines including their safety, efficacy, and role in getting us past the pandemic. (Originally aired in February 2021)
Hearing Isaiah
With the health of our planet challenged by climate change, novel viruses, population growth, and pressure on natural resources, young environmental leaders will have their hands full guiding future generations toward a safer, cleaner, and more unified world. Isaiah Haley is a good reason for hope and optimism. (Originally aired in October 2020)
OSIRIS-REx - “Touch and Go”
On October 20, 2020, southern Arizonans and the world, watched as the OSIRIS-Rex spacecraft unfurled its robotic arm and briefly touched the asteroid Bennu. Arizona Illustrated was there to capture a unique behind-the-scenes look at every anxious and exhilarating moment that culminated with a successful capture of dust and pebbles from the surface of an ancient asteroid more than 200 million miles from Earth. (Originally aired in November 2020)
