Follow a chemical engineer at an oil refinery as he interacts with team members and uses technology to keep the refinery working at optimum levels. He also offers advice on educational and co-op opportunities for becoming a chemical engineer. Part of the "Career Connections" series.
The parakeet starts with a monologue on how nice it is to share with family. The first guest, the cat, tells that his adopted son, the turtle, has become rude and disrespectful to his uncle. The turtle, forced by the others, says he doesn't like his uncle, the dog, licking his face. The fleas present a documentary on living space in humans. The famous guest, the queen of pop, explains what to do when someone's caresses are uncomfortable.
Introduces the social and health aspects of good personal hygiene. Demonstrates the correct way to wash hands and bathe, as well as how to take care of hair and nails. Discusses the importance of wearing sunscreen, protecting skin from bumps, bites and itches, and keeping hair and nails clean and groomed.
Explores how eyes work and how eyes help us understand the world. Explains how safe behaviors and healthy habits can prevent illness and injury to eyes. Discusses what to expect from an eye examination and other eye tests. Talks about how visually impaired children walk with a white cane and read Braille.
Explores how ears work and how ears help us communicate with the world. Explains common ear problems, including blockage, infection, and hearing impairment. Discusses symptoms of these conditions and introduces doctor's diagnostic tools. Emphasizes healthy habits and stresses not to put anything in your ears smaller than your elbow. Talks about how children with hearing loss communicate and learn.
Across the animal kingdom, some of the most essential lessons-and the most extreme challenges-occur in the first moments of life. From ostrich to orangutan, egg sac to live birth, infanticide to matricide, the diversity of behaviors between parent and progeny is as great as the diversity of life on our planet. Academy Award-winner F. Murray Abraham narrates.
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.
This video explores the wide range of defense mechanisms the body calls upon to fight foreign invaders in an effort to maintain health. Immune responses, diseases, and care of the immune system are some of the topics addressed. Concepts and terminology include: pathogen, defenses, lymph, phagocytes, macrophages, lymphocytes, humoral immunity, antibody, acquired immunity, vaccines, allergies, autoimmune disorders, AIDS, immune disorders, and care of the immune system.

A team of veterinarians travel to Cambodia to support wild animal rescue and emergency care efforts for tigers and elephants. Join the team as they study exotic Asian tigers and provide expertise as an orphaned elephant baby receives a prosthetic leg. Part of "The Wildlife Docs" series.
When it comes to animals, Dr. Oakley will do anything to protect their offspring. She receives calls to help care for a soon-to-be caribou mother and a litter of lynx kittens. Her mission is to make sure the next generation of wildlife grows up safe and healthy. Part of the "Wilderness Vet" series.
Some bandages are embedded with medicine to treat wounds, but researchers at Harvard University and Brigham and Women’s Hospital have something much more sophisticated in mind for the future of chronic wound care. With support from the National Science Foundation, engineer Ali Khademhosseini and a multidisciplinary team are bringing together advances in sensors, biomaterials, tissue engineering, microsystems technology, and microelectronics to create “smart bandages” for wounds that require ongoing care. The devices, known collectively as flexible bioelectronics, will do much more than deliver medicine. They will be able to monitor all the vital signs of the healing process and make adjustments when needed, as well as communicate the information to health professionals who are off-site.
For Dr. Oakley, some days are spent performing lifesaving surgeries, others involve helping with conservation projects, but most of her days consist of routine exams. As the only all-species vet for hundreds of square miles, she has to help any and all animals. Part of the "Wilderness Vet" series.
