Students will learn practices for keeping the Earth healthy. The video distinguishes between unstainable and sustainable practices.
Recyclebank and Revolution Foods are two innovative companies that focus on rewarding people for taking ecological and healthy actions. These two companies are encouraging citizens to be actively engaged with good environmental and nutritional practices. The benefits created by these practices are considered "win-win-win". This means that consumers and government save money, build community, and also earn long-term health benefits.
Rigoberto Delgado, a health economist at the University of Texas, wants to help health-care professionals target their limited resources. His team is using geospatial mapping science and predictive analytics to forecast areas of highest risk for illness. The researchers want to figure out where to send the mobile health clinics to help prevent potential outbreaks. Part of the "Science Nation" series.
One of the areas that is most sensitive to climatic change is human health. Climate change affects human health in numerous ways. Some are immediate, and others may not manifest until future generations inhabit earth. Global areas have already begun to suffer the effects of ecosystem alterations and limited water sources. These situations also impact crop production and food distribution. Researchers also predict an increase in the number of displaced persons as the planet warms and sea levels begin to rise. Chapter 10 of Air: Climate Change Series.
Tessa, a brown capuchin monkey, joins the Jungle Friends Primate Sanctuary in Florida. She has been diagnosed with diabetes, and her owners are no longer able to care for her. At the sanctuary, Tessa learns to make new friends and follow a strict diet. Segment of video from Wild Chronicles Series.
With support from the National Science Foundation, device engineer Jason Heikenfeld of the University of Cincinnati and a multidisciplinary team are developing new technologies to take sweat biosensors to the next level. Their wearable patches allow tiny amounts of sweat to be captured and analyzed quickly and accurately with strong correlation to blood data. The researchers envision a day when data from continuous sweat monitoring will be an essential tool in health care, like blood tests. Part of the "Science Nation" series.
Students receive a crash course in the physiology and functioning of their hearts as well as how to keep their hearts healthy. Animations clarify how the heart works to provide oxygen and nutrients to all the tissues and organs of the body. They also detail what can go wrong. The program stresses that even teenagers can show early signs of atherosclerosis and other heart problems. Two cardiologists and a dietitian then pinpoint the main risk factors for an unhealthy heart, including: smoking, abnormal levels of cholesterol, high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes, and physical inactivity.
For as long as parents and babies have been smiling, laughing, and cooing at each other, scientists still have a lot of questions about just how these interactions help infants develop. With support from the National Science Foundation, University of Miami psychology professor Daniel Messinger and his colleagues want to learn more about child development by studying how moms, dads, and babies respond to each other. Part of the National Science Foundation Series “Science Nation.”
With support from the National Science Foundation, computer scientist Shwetak Patel and his team at the University of Washington are developing new sensing systems to empower people to make better-informed decisions for themselves and their homes. Patel's initial interest was in providing the most detailed information yet for consumers about their energy and water consumption, and most of that technology has already been transferred to the marketplace. Part of the "Science Nation" series.
Corals are important ecosystem engineers, providing habitat and nutrient recycling to tropical reefs. However, coral species’ richness and abundance are in decline worldwide, due in large part to the impacts from global industrialization and human population growth. Coral disease is a major contributor to this decline of tropical reefs, and therefore, investigations into the causes of and remedies to these diseases are of critical importance. Part of the National Science Foundation Series “Science Nation.”
Fruits and vegetables are filled with a host of health-promoting benefits, but often times individuals fall short on their daily servings. Join food and health professionals as they discuss the power and health benefits of fruits and vegetables.
Covers Pomeranian history, personality, characteristics, health care, grooming, training, housebreaking, and special abilities. Also includes guidelines for choosing the right dog for a family, finding a healthy dog, and finding a reputable breeder or breed rescue organization.
Physical activity and quality sleep are both vital for healthy bodies, as well as healthy brains. Viewers learn the relationship between activity, boredom, and sleep and how each plays a role in healthy development of children. Part of "The Brain" series.
Covers Labrador retriever history, personality, characteristics, health care, grooming, training, and housebreaking. Also includes choosing the right dog, and a veterinarian discusses health issues associated with this breed.
Special attention is given to the healthy maintenance of growing bodies. Concepts and terminology discussed include: body systems, cells, tissues, organs, health, and body needs.
By providing a big picture view of food and globalization, viewers examine the connections between food, environment, health, and communities. Viewers also learn specific steps that can be taken to create a sustainable food future.
Focuses on the dachshund history, personality, characteristics, health care, grooming, training, housebreaking, and special abilities. Also includes how to find a reputable breeder and choosing the right, healthy dog for one's family.
Scientists are conducting land surveys in the Southern Appalachians to determine just how healthy the land and water is. In their research, they discover that the smallest creature living in the area, the salamander, provides the most information and are important to the health of the ecosystem.
Covers Chihuahua history, personality, characteristics, health care, grooming, training, housebreaking, and special abilities. Also includes guidelines for choosing the right dog for a family, and finding a healthy dog and a reputable breeder.
