Audio Transcript: "Hey, Bill Nye The Science Guy--here to celebrate the National Science Foundation's 50th anniversary with a real mystery story.

It all started a couple of years ago with a serious hantavirus epidemic in the southwest. It was spreading fast. People were dying, and no one knew what caused it or how to stop it. Meanwhile, scientists funded by the NSF doing a long-term ecology study in New Mexico, found a clue to the cause--a population explosion of rodents carrying the virus.

Information collected over many years on changing rodent populations provided proof. They also found that these populations went up when the rainfall was above average.

That led to the end of the mystery but not the end of my story because continuing research will help prevent future outbreaks of the hantavirus.

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