Biology of bats!

The video discusses three NSF-funded research projects. The first project, led by Texas A&M University and the University of Colorado, explores alternative bridge structures to withstand earthquakes, focusing on hybrid sliding rocking columns. The second project, by Vanderbilt University, investigates cancer cell migration, revealing that cells prefer paths of least resistance to conserve energy, which could inform new metastasis prevention strategies. The third project, conducted by Brown University, examines temperature variations in bat wings during flight, offering insights into muscle adaptation in extreme temperatures, with potential applications for humans working in harsh conditions.
