How infants retain information! NSF Science Now 55

The video covers four NSF-funded studies. The first study, led by Lisa Scott, shows that reading books with specific names enhances infant cognition. The second study reveals that noise pollution causes stress in birds, affecting their survival and reproduction. The third study explores rectilinear locomotion in snakes, which could inspire advancements in robotics. The final study uncovers a previously unknown ancient Native American population through DNA analysis, providing insights into their history and heritage.
