According to new findings using data from NASA’s Mars reconnaissance orbiter, lakes and snowmelt- fed streams on Mars formed much later than previously thought possible. Sharon Wilson Purdy, geologist at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum tells us […]

In this episode of SciTech Now, healthcare technology in the military has meant fewer deaths; Deborah Estrin teaches us what we can learn about our health through small data; the future of autonomous vehicle technology; and how the logs from a stranded whaling has proven quite valuable to climate scientists today.
