Through its powerful reach on satellite, cable and the web, UCTV transports this knowledge far beyond the campus borders and into the homes and lives of millions of viewers around the globe.
UCTV explores a broad spectrum of subjects of interest to a general audience, including science, health and medicine, public affairs, humanities, arts and music, education issues, and even gardening and agriculture. Programs range from documentaries, faculty lectures, cutting-edge research symposiums, artistic performances and more.
In addition, UCTV's Teacher's P.E.T. reaches out to K-12 educators with its website teeming with standards-aligned programming, and its Med Ed Hour is dedicated to providing up-to-date research and vital information to health care professionals.

Until recently, best estimates of the prevalence for autism spectrum disorders were 5 per 10,000 for autism and 20 per 10,000 for the broader spectrum. Reports now suggest that the prevalence is considerably higher. Increased recognition, the broadening of the diagnostic concept over time and methodological differences across studies may account for most or all of the apparent increase but other explanations cannot be ruled out. Tony Charman discusses whether there is a 'real' increase and highlights some directions for future epidemiological work.
