Antarctic Subglacial Lakes! NSF Science Now 7

The video discusses three NSF-funded research projects. The first project involves software developed at UCLA to help individuals monitor foot ailments at home using a scanner. The second project by Princeton University researchers reveals that body language is more accurate than facial expressions in conveying intense emotions, with implications for security and autism training. The third project involves drilling into subglacial lakes in Antarctica to study microbial life and climate history, led by a consortium of universities under the WIZARD project.
