Up until now much of the research on this topic has been centered around bees and ants. Now a new study is looking at other animal societies with the hope of gaining new insight.

In this episode of SciTech Now, a look at how one zoo is helping sea turtles from becoming extinct; studying the evolution of animal societies; a story of how scientists turned an accident into an opportunity for innovation; and a lab in Penn State University playing an important role in exploring opportunities in additive manufacturing.
