Life in a puddle

This week's NSF Science 360 highlights include a discussion on the possible origins of life on Earth, suggesting it may have started in drying puddles through wet-dry cycles of amino and hydroxy acids. The impact of climate change on polar bears is also explored, noting their reduced hunting opportunities due to sea ice loss. The Engage experiment is introduced, which examines how real-time feedback on energy consumption can influence behavior, showing significant reductions in energy use when health messages are emphasized. The video concludes with science puns and a reminder to access more science content online.
