Description

"Antifreeze Proteins" -- Bill Nye for NSF50

Bill relates a fish story--and get this--it's actually true!

Credit: NSF

Audio Transcript: "Hey, Bill Nye The Science Guy here. Since it's the 50th anniversary of the National Science Foundation how about we celebrate with a fish story that's actually true?

In the early 70s when a lot of people were doing the hustle, others, namely scientists in Antarctica were identifying a protein in Antarctic fish that protected their fish tissues from freezing.

Then the scientists found similar proteins in other cold water fish, even in some insects and plants. This led to exploring possible uses of these proteins like increasing the freeze tolerance in plants, improving farm fish production in cold climates, even extending the shelf-life of frozen pizza.

Um-umph. Don't you just love science? Well, that's the end of my fish story. Take my word for it, it's true.

Bill Nye The Science Guy, inviting you to join me and the National Science Foundation in celebrating fifty years of science and engineering discoveries."
