From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Everyone's favourite pop keyboardist turned physicist turned TV presenter, Professor Brian Cox, is to present a BBC science quiz show.
The panel show, called Six Degrees of Separation, is still at the pilot stage, and will look at the unlikely connections which exist within the physical world, according to the BBC. Other guests will include Dara O Briain and Ben Miller.
The BBC said: "Using their immense knowledge, wit and imagination the six panellists will reveal that the history of science is littered with serendipitous connections and that the Universe is more unexpectedly joined up than we ever imagined."
The first show will be filmed in front of a studio audience next month but no transmission date has been set.
Former chart star Cox - once a member of the band D:Ream, who sang New Labour anthem, "Things Can Only Get Better" - has co-hosted Radio 4's The Infinite Monkey Cage, and teamed up with O Briain in the past to present BBC2's Stargazing Live.
