Photo by KQED KQED’s ‘Deep Look’ Nature Series Springs into a New Season Deep Look, KQED’s award-winning nature and science series, kicks off its eighth season with an extraordinary mix of short videos featuring a new batch of unusual small animals. They include caterpillars that eat oak leaves, persimilis mites that rain down from drones and beach hoppers that devour seaweed.
Launched in October 2014, the series is presented on the PBS Digital Studios YouTube channel and has more than 1.65 million subscribers and close to 280 million lifetime views, making it KQED’s most successful web video production. Deep Look’s videos are shot in ultra-HD (4K) and use macro cinematography and video microscopy to reveal small, hidden worlds in nature that humans rarely get to see or experience.
Deep Look releases its videos about twice a month and will produce 20 new videos this year. Upcoming videos include:
March 9: Aphids The bane of gardeners and farmers alike, aphids show up suddenly and take over, sucking the sap out of plants’ leaves. Female aphids clone themselves and give birth to live babies, who are already pregnant with the next generation. Oh, and they pay ants off for protection. But don’t worry, aphids do have a few choice enemies.
March 23: Mexican Jumping Beans Often sold as novelty items, these beans are actually the seed capsules of a shrub that has been taken over by the tiny larvae of a gray moth. As they grow, the larvae shimmy around inside the capsule to stay in the shade and keep cool in the hot Mexican forests where they live. MARCH 2021 MARCH • Deep Look is produced by KQED’s award-winning science team. The team recently won a Society of Professional Journalists Northern California Excellence in Journalism Award for Science, Environment and Health Reporting in the television/video category for videos about kidnapper ants, zombie flies, webspinners, tsetse flies and California floater mussels KQED.ORG

‘Midsomer Murders’ Season 18 Slays SATURDAY NIGHT MOVIE with New Whodunit Stories
True confession: My father was a private detective. He wasn't the glamorous type who solved murders, but an astute observer of more mundane events. Maybe because of that — or because of my writerly interest in complex, creative and initially confounding plots — I’m drawn to detective shows such as Midsomer Murders. North Country In this series, the suspense is high, the Saturday, March 27, gore is low and it can be tricky to figure out at 8pm on KQED 9 whodunit.

DID YOU KNOW? AMERICAN AND BRITISH ENGLISH Ever watch British shows and feel stumped by what they’re saying? MARCH Though we speak the same language, it doesn’t always feel that PICKS way. Here are some words used differently and a handy tip for understanding British accents.

Since March 2018, KQED Arts & Culture has been telling the stories of unsung women from history who helped shape today’s Bay Area. Started as a five-part series to honor Women’s History Month, Rebel Girls has since transformed into a monthly online and smart speaker series.
The women featured in Rebel Girls are diverse in both background and pursuits. Recent figures include Tien Fuh Wu (right), who freed trafficked girls and women in Chinatown; Annie Burke, who fought to preserve her Native American heritage; and Elizabeth Thorn Scott Flood, a 19th-century teacher who upended her own life to ensure that Black children had access to education. The series has previously illuminated the stories of many women who shaped history across California, from nurses and philanthropists to writers and social justice activists.
It's Women’s History Month again. What better time to up your knowledge of women’s roles in Bay Area history? If you haven’t seen It already, be sure to check out the series at kqed.org/rebelgirls. Also, test your knowledge of these larger-than-life women with a fun online quiz: bit.ly/RebelGirlsQuiz.
