Human activity has encroached on the habitat of endangered songbirds in Tacoma, Washington. Now soldiers are working with conservation biologists to share their training site with the songbirds. New York Times columnist, Claudia Dreifus, is making science more accessible by giving readers a closer look into the lives of scientists. We take a look into the invertebrates as climate change indicators. And scientists at the Pennsylvania State University Center for Quantitative Imaging are examining bones to see what they reveal.

See how the Renaissance robots in Florida are helping surgeons and making tricky surgical procedures more feasible. Bill Nye the Science Guy stops by to share his thoughts on evolution, the importance of science in today’s world, and his new book. We learn the science behind badminton and the shuttlecock. And we see how scientists in Seattle are working to save the declining population of abalone.

We travel down 4,850 feet below ground in an abandoned gold mine in South Dakota where a team of physicists are hunting for dark matter. We uncover the depth and implications of cyber security and major data breach crises around the United States. And we see how electrodes implanted on athlete Jennifer French’s muscles are helping her compete once again and take home a silver medal from the U.S. Paralympics.

Join us as we go inside Carolina State University’s insect museum and see why these specimens are so valuable. Syntactic foam is strong and buoyant material commonly used in the manufacturing of submarines. Now, a team of researchers have developed a method of 3D printing components of syntactic foam that could take submarines to greater depths. We take a look at the next generation of space telescopes with Zolt Levay of the Space Telescope Science Institute. And we see how computer simulations are helping engineers identify buildings that are at risk of collapsing during an earthquake.

In this clip from SciTech Now, two researchers at the University of Central Florida are working to develop extremely thin and flexible screens of the future.
Lack of reliable internet access and high-tech learning tools can put low-income …
Lack of reliable internet access and high-tech learning tools can put low-income and rural students at a disadvantage. In order to bridge this divide, a superintendent at one of the poorest school districts in the nation created an initiative that provides students with internet and the tech tools they need. Ainissa Ramirez, author and self-proclaimed science evangelist, discusses how atoms keep time. We visit St. Petersburg College in Florida where students pursue the skills they need to land the latest jobs. And we see how an app is simplifying the process of auctioning cattle.
