This week on SciTech Now North Carolina, see how hearing loss can become a risk factor for dementia. We take a look at the MURDOCK study, which tracks the health of North Carolinians for decades. See how the future of cancer treatment could be in precision strikes. Finally we chat with a futurist about visions for the tomorrow of technology.
This week on SciTech Now North Carolina, predicting the future! See how researchers are learning to predict where dangerous lightning strikes will happen. We visit the National Climatic Data Center in Asheville to learn about the patterns of climate. See how research in Antarctica can teach us about North Carolina's ocean. Finally we get deep into the science of sea level rise.
This week on SciTech Now North Carolina: sea creatures! See how the longest-running shark survey in the nation is helping to track North Carolina's sharks. We visit a company using the natural design of shark skin to fight bacteria. See how belugas can indicate the health of the St. Lawrence River. Finally before offshore wind energy takes off, scientists check on the life that could be affected.
