我要评论Science Channel's nightly news series is getting a high-profile visitor this week.
Mashable has learned that President Barack Obama is set to act as a guest presenter for five editions of the network's evening news program,Science Presents DNews, starting Monday night.
In the short segments, Obama will deliver updates on a wide range of timely topics, including innovations in public health, space, and technology.
His appearance in the news segments, which air every weeknight at 9 p.m. ET on the Science Channel, comes during a week that will see many science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) related-activities -- including the 2016 White House Science Fair (taking place April 13) and the USA Science & Engineering Festival.
"Advances in science hold the promise of achievements as varied as improving human health, combating climate change, and reaching Mars," said White House Associate Director for Science Dr. Jo Handelsman in a statement to Mashable. "All this week, the President is continuing to underline the priority he places on advancing science, and the critical role it plays in the betterment of our nation and our world."

"We are thrilled to have President Obama, a champion of science, present DNewsupdates to the Science Channel audience."
Though DNews began as a web series back in 2012, a spin-off version came to the Science Channel last December in the form of 30-second segments hosted by Trace Dominguez and Amy Shira Teitel. To date, the series has garnered over 750 million video views.
The network itself, meanwhile, is coming out of a solid start to 2016, notching its highest-rated quarter ever among some key demos (particularly men and women 18-49 and women 25-54).
President Obama's DNews segments will air April 11-15 at 9 p.m. ET on the Science Channel.
