Paleontologists dig for Jurassic dinosaur fossils American Museum of Natural History 2023-11-18 | The Morrison Formation is one of the most famous dinosaur fossil sites in North America. Since the 1890s, it has been the site of discoveries such as Stegosaurus, Apatosaurus, and Allosaurus. But there’s more to be uncovered. In 19th century, expeditions to the Morrison Foundation focused on the fossil remains of large animals, but today scientists are searching for fossils of species that were previously overlooked, especially in the relatively understudied northern portion. A team led by Museum paleontologist Mark Norell has returned year after year to uncover layers of the Jurassic. The results, both in the scale and quality of fossil discoveries, are exciting.***Subscribe to our channel:http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=AMNHOrgCheck out our full video catalog:http://www.youtube.com/user/AMNHorg This video and all media incorporated herein (including text, images, and audio) are the property of the American Museum of Natural History or its licensors, all rights reserved.

The Future of Energy | 2023 Isaac Asimov Memorial Debate American Museum of Natural History 2023-04-01 | What will fuel the future of civilization? Major advances in energy production, and the urgency of the climate change crisis, are re-shaping the conversation about what we use to power our world: fossil fuels, wind turbines, hydroelectric, solar panels, nuclear fission and nuclear fusion. With the recent breakthrough at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) National Ignition Facility, nuclear fusion has emerged as a leading candidate. Many see the ability to harness nuclear energy as a clear positive for reducing our impact on global climate, while some are skeptical of its practicality and safety for everyday use. #Energy #ClimateChange #NeildeGrasseTyson #AsimovDebate #ScienceDebate #TechnologyHow will science, engineering, and geopolitics shape how the future of energy unfolds?Join Neil deGrasse Tyson, the Frederick P.

Searching for Bat Fossils in Colombia American Museum of Natural History 2022-09-30 | Big animals like dinosaurs make big fossils–but how do scientists find fossils of small animals like bats and rodents? Join a Museum bat biologist on an expedition to Colombia as the team looks for fossils the size of a grain of rice. #Fossils #Paleontology #Colombia #Desert In June 2022, Museum Curator Nancy Simmons and colleagues traveled to the La Venta region of Colombia–a site world-famous for revealing a detailed paleontological history of New World primates and bats. Since these fossils are tiny, the researchers have to use different methods than paleontologists who look for big animals like mammoths or dinosaurs. The fossils may be small, but what they reveal could be key to understanding how bats evolved such incredible diversity in the present day. Watch to learn more! The Constantine S.

Cave Bear Facts! American Museum of Natural History 2022-09-20 | This fearsome fossil is Ursus spelaeus, a cave bear that lived 14,000 years ago. Cave bears, although related to the largest living bears the Arctic, lived only in Europe. Cave finds in the Alps are evidence that the bears’ habitat extended up to altitudes of 6,300 feet. Most of the tens of thousands of remains found are of young and old animals that died during hibernation. Skull accumulations and depictions in cave paintings show that the bears were important to Ice Age humans.#CaveBear #bears #paleontology #museumThis fossil is located in the Hall of Advanced Mammals.Ⓒ American Museum of Natural History

Extinct and Endangered: Insects in Peril - Now Open! American Museum of Natural History 2022-06-20 | The world as we know it has been shaped by insects. They play incredibly important ecological roles, but face imminent threats around the world. Photographer Levon Biss creates incredible macro images of imperiled species—insects that are disappearing (or already gone) in our current age of mass extinction. In collaboration with scientists at the American Museum of Natural History, Biss selected specimens from our world-class research collection to serve as representatives of insect decline. #Insects #Photography #Extinction #AnthropoceneEntomologists and field biologists are rushing to understand and quantify the rapid decline of insect populations and biodiversity. But we can’t wait to protect ecosystems. The exhibition Extinct and Endangered aims to inform the public on the current crisis in insect decline and biodiversity loss, and to inspire a new appreciation for the beauty and importance of the tiny animals with whom we share the planet. Extinct and Endangered opened on June 22, 2022, at the American Museum of Natural History.For more information visit: amnh.org/exhibitions/extinct-endangered-insectsThe Museum gratefully acknowledges Robert & Ipek Gibbins and Autonomy Capital for their leadership support of Extinct and Endangered.Generous support has been provided by the Arthur Ross Foundation.***Subscribe to our channel: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=AMNHOrg Check out our full video catalog: http://www.youtube.com/user/AMNHorg Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/amnh Facebook: http://www.fb.com/naturalhistory Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/amnh TikTok: tiktok.com/@naturalhistorymuseumThis video and all media incorporated herein (including text, images, and audio) are the property of the American Museum of Natural History or its licensors, all rights reserved.

什么是病毒？ American Museum of Natural History 2022-06-17 | 病毒能够感染所有生物，并且可能与生命本身一样古老。从海洋深处到山顶，地球上任何有生命的地方，都有病毒——包括我们自己的身体内。绝大多数对人类根本没有害处。 但是，要了解有害的病毒（例如 COVID-19 大流行背后的 SARS CoV-2 病毒），我们必须了解人类、病毒、其他生物和我们共同居住的生态系统之间的联系。#病毒 #COVID19 #科学 #大流行 #人畜共患病几千年来，人类对病毒一无所知。我们甚至不知道病毒的存在！它们太小而无法被早期的显微镜看到。直到 19 世纪后期，一位科学家才将“病毒”一词附加到一类可引起疾病的微生物上。今天，我们知道病毒存在于从细菌到植物和动物的所有生物群中。有些对我们的健康没有威胁，而另一些会引起感染，包括天花和艾滋病等人类疾病。该视频由多媒体记者吴玫颖讲述。有关病毒和疫苗科学的更多信息，请访问美国自然历史博物馆的 COVID-19 资源中心：amnh.org/zh/explore/viruses-vaccines-pandemic-science 社区免疫倡议是在疾病控制和预防中心以及博物馆和图书馆服务研究所的资助下实现的。有关更多信息，请访问www.communitiesforimmunity.org在纽约市健康与心理卫生局（New York Department of Health and Mental Hygiene，NYDHMH）的支持下制作。© 2022 City of New York Irma和Paul Milstein家族为COVID-19资源中心及其相关的教师专业发展计划提供了慷慨的支持。***Subscribe to our channel: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=AMNHOrg Check out our full video catalog: http://www.youtube.com/user/AMNHorg Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/amnh Facebook: http://www.fb.com/naturalhistory Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/amnh TikTok: tiktok.com/@naturalhistorymuseum
2022 Isaac Asimov Memorial Debate: Space Pollution American Museum of Natural History 2022-06-14 | What is the environmental impact of commercial space exploration? Sixty-five years ago, one satellite orbited Earth. Today, that number has risen to more than 20,000. As private space exploration surges, so do new kinds of pollution. Light trails from hundreds of satellite “constellations” streak across sensitive astronomical imagery. Debris from defunct or destroyed satellites that remain in orbit pose collision risks to other satellites—commercial, civil, and military, not to mention orbiting space telescopes. Large chunks of debris that de-orbit do so uncontrollably, putting Earth’s surface at risk. #SpacePollution #NeildeGrasseTyson #AsimovDebate #SpaceX #satellites #AMNH #ScienceDebate #ScienceLecture #AmericanMuseumofNaturalHistory #SpaceJunk #AstrophysicsHow do we balance the needs of industry and the needs of science? How do we create a sustainable space exploration industry? Join Neil deGrasse Tyson, the Frederick P. Rose Director of the Hayden Planetarium, and our panel of experts representing various sectors on this issue for a dynamic discussion about the environmental implications of the private space exploration era.

¿Cómo Puede Terminar Una Pandemia? American Museum of Natural History 2022-06-08 | Las pandemias ocurren cuando una enfermedad se propaga a muchas regiones del mundo e infecta a muchas personas al mismo tiempo, como lo hizo el COVID-19 en 2020. Entonces, ¿cómo podemos detener una pandemia como la del COVID-19? Con medidas como el uso de máscaras, el distanciamiento físico y, lo que es más importante, las vacunas, todas las cuales frenan la transmisión de un virus que se transporta por el aire.#Pandemia #Endémico #Vacunas #ContenciónLas vacunas reducen las infecciones, las hospitalizaciones y las muertes y ayudan a lograr la inmunidad comunitaria. Con el tiempo, una enfermedad como la COVID-19 puede volverse endémica, siempre presente en una población pero propagándose con poca frecuencia una vez que se alcanza un alto nivel de inmunidad comunitaria. El final de una pandemia también puede depender de cómo se manifieste una enfermedad en particular. El virus SARS-CoV-1, un coronavirus estrechamente relacionado con el SARS-CoV-2 (que causa el COVID-19), causa síntomas graves rápidamente y las personas no son contagiosas hasta que muestran síntomas. Su propagación en 2003 se detuvo en nueve meses mediante medidas de cuarentena y aislamiento.Para obtener más información sobre la ciencia de los virus y las vacunas, visite el sitio web COVID-19 del Museo Americano de Historia Natural: amnh.org/es/explore/virus-vacunas-ciencia-pandemica *** Suscríbete a nuestro canal: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=AMNHOrg Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/amnh Facebook: http://www.fb.com/naturalhistory Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/amnh TikTok: tiktok.com/@naturalhistorymuseum Creado con el apoyo del Departamento de Salud e Higiene Mental de la Ciudad de Nueva York. © 2022 City of New York La familia de Irma y Paul Milstein ha brindado un generoso aporte para el Centro de Recursos de la COVID-19 y sus programas de desarrollo profesional para docentes.

¿Qué Es Un Virus? American Museum of Natural History 2022-04-07 | Los virus infectan a todos los seres vivos y puede que algunos sean tan antiguos como la vida misma. En todos los lugares de la Tierra donde hay vida, desde las últimas capas de la atmósfera hasta las profundidades del océano, hay virus. La gran mayoría de ellos no son perjudiciales para los seres humanos. Pero para comprender los pocos que lo son, como el virus SARS CoV-2 detrás de la pandemia de COVID-19, debemos aprender sobre las conexiones entre humanos, virus, otros organismos y los ecosistemas que cohabitamos.#Virus #COVID19 #Ciencia #Pandemia #ZoonóticaDurante miles de años, los humanos ni siquiera sabían que existían los virus. Eran demasiado pequeños para ser vistos por los primeros microscopios, y no fue hasta finales del siglo XIX que un científico adjuntó la palabra "virus" a una categoría de microbios que pueden causar enfermedades. Hoy hemos aprendido que los virus se encuentran en todos los grupos de seres vivos, desde bacterias hasta plantas y animales.

How Can a Pandemic End? American Museum of Natural History 2022-02-15 | Pandemics occur when a disease spreads to many regions of the world and infects many people at the same time, as COVID-19 did in 2020. So, how can we stop a pandemic like COVID-19? With measures like mask-wearing, physical distancing, and, most importantly, vaccines, all of which cut off paths for the virus to spread. #Pandemic #Endemic #Vaccines #Containment Vaccines reduce infections, hospitalizations, and deaths and help achieve community immunity. Over time, a disease like COVID-19 may become endemic—always present in a population but spreading infrequently once a high level of community immunity is achieved. The end of a pandemic may also depend on how a particular disease manifests. The virus SARS-CoV-1, a coronavirus closely related to SARS-CoV-2 (which causes COVID-19), causes severe symptoms quickly and individuals aren’t contagious until after they show symptoms. Its spread in 2003 was stopped within six months using quarantine and isolation measures.

What Tools Do Scientists Use To Study Viruses? American Museum of Natural History 2022-01-13 | New tools and technologies let us peer into worlds that would have been impossible to see even a few decades ago. During the COVID-19 pandemic, scientists have been able to decode the SARS-CoV-2 virus’ genome in under 48 hours, get a view of its microscopic structure with unprecedented detail, and forecast its spread with the help of mathematical modeling. #Technology #Pandemic #Science #Microscope #GenomeWe can now speedily analyze viral DNA or RNA with genomic sequencing and get a look at a virus’ structure using electron microscopes and x-ray crystallography. These tools and technologies help researchers develop defenses, including vaccines and antiviral drugs. On a community scale, mathematical modeling is helping public health professionals understand things like how diseases might spread and how viral strains are evolving.For more about the science of viruses and vaccines, visit the American Museum of Natural History’s COVID-19 resource hub: amnh.org/explore/viruses-vaccines-pandemic-science *** Subscribe to our channel: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=AMNHOrgCheck out our full video catalog: http://www.youtube.com/user/AMNHorg Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/amnh Facebook: http://www.fb.com/naturalhistoryTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/amnhTikTok: tiktok.com/@naturalhistorymuseumCreated with the support of the City of New York Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. © 2022 City of New York.
