this episode of nova science now
you'll meet some walruses with
impressive brawn
and brains sit up oh
get out of town and a sea lion who takes
her school work
very seriously sea lions can pass tests
that are very difficult for many other
species to pass
including humans so are these just fancy
circus tricks
or does this gift forget
and ability to reason demonstrate that
animals are
smarter than we think and
did you ever wonder what makes some
people picky eaters
according to my mother i was never one
of them he ate everything that was put
in front of him
and i still do but was it because my
mother was strict
there was no question about being picky
i didn't even know what the word
meant or could it be food tastes better
to me
because it's in my genes we ultimately
were able to pinpoint
the actual gene that causes this
and in our profile you'll meet a doctor
whose
taste for science began when she
performed surgery
on the family answering machine i took
it apart and laid all the pieces on the
table
and fixed it there were some parts left
over but
it was working anyway so i called it a
day today
she's trying to revolutionize transplant
surgery and she's already had a major
breakthrough in the race to build the
first ever
artificial liver the moment that i
looked in the microscope and saw that
this had actually come
to fruition was amazing all that
