PART OF THE PACK

This week's NSF Science 360 highlights include a potential antibody for E. coli UTIs, a study on wolf pack survival with mange, and the Doppler on Wheels project improving weather predictions. The video concludes with a reminder to access more science content online.

What is the primary function of the newly discovered antibody against E. coli?

• It enhances the growth of E. coli.

• It prevents E. coli from attaching to human cells.

• It increases the sugar content in human cells.

• It changes the color of E. coli.

How does being in a pack affect wolves with mange?

• They have a higher death rate than lone wolves.

• They survive as long as healthy pack wolves.

• They become more aggressive.

• They lose their fur faster.

What is one reason for the increased survival rate of wolves with mange in a pack?

• They receive food and protection from healthy pack members.

• They hibernate during the disease.

• They are isolated from the pack.

• They are given special medical treatment.

What is the purpose of the Dow Doppler on wheels?

• To entertain storm chasers.

• To predict earthquakes.

• To collect data missed by stationary radar systems.

• To create artificial storms.

How might the data from Dow Doppler on wheels improve safety during tornadoes?

• By increasing the warning time from 13 minutes to up to 20 minutes.

• By changing the direction of tornadoes.

• By making tornadoes less destructive.

• By reducing the number of tornadoes.
