NSF Science Now: Episode 19

The video discusses various NSF-funded research projects. It starts with a smartphone accessory developed by Cornell University engineers that can measure cholesterol levels using a camera. The next section covers a study on great white sharks, revealing they grow slower and live longer than previously thought. The third section explores typing skills, showing that skilled typists lack explicit knowledge of key positions. Finally, the video examines the impact of climate change on Adelie penguins, highlighting their adaptation challenges due to changing sea ice conditions.
