NSF Science Now: Episode 42

The video discusses three main topics: the application of origami principles in designing small surgical instruments, a study on family dynamics regarding social media use, and the impact of ocean acidification on marine life. The origami-inspired technology aims to create minimally invasive surgical tools. The NSF-funded study highlights children's concerns about social media and the importance of consistent technology rules in families. Lastly, researchers in Antarctica are studying the effects of rising carbon levels on marine organisms, emphasizing the importance of monitoring ocean pH levels.

What link did researchers find between carbon levels and marine life in Antarctic waters?

What methods are being used to monitor ocean pH changes in McMurdo Sound?
