I think this shows tons of promise for feasibility- especially since we have an international airport nearby, and measuring sound is straightforward. Acquiring the data acquisition probes to do this is certainly feasible. A lot of room for creativity here. If this is interesting, also dig into ARC-GIS as a tool to geographically map out the sound data generated.
The Unexpected Villain in Plant-Based Diets - 3 views

Love this topic... but it would be a tough one. Look up "ISEF rules - vertebrate animals" to get an idea of how hard it is to get an vertebrate animal study approved where you are altering a diet in a way that includes feeding something suspected of having issues to animals. It isn't impossible, but it is very difficult. Often, we just shift down to an invertebrate animal. However, in this case, I don't think the variable of processed plant dietary items would transfer as well to non-vertebrate animals. And yet, I could be convinced otherwise if you can show me some other work done that says we might be able to gain worthwhile information from a study like that.

This theory is supported by the fact that side stitches become more likely if you eat or drink right before exercise.
Ants perform life saving operations - the only animal other than humans known to do so ... - 0 views

In experiments, they observed that the ants treated their nest members' femur injuries by cleaning the wound with their mouths before amputating the leg by repeatedly biting it, while the tibia wounds were treated with just cleaning.
-
The scientists are now extending their research to other ant species that don't possess special antimicrobial glands to see if other ants have the ability to perform surgeries.

Does this wolf want to play-or attack? Take a close look at its face | Science | AAAS - 0 views

Many contemporary studies have used methods designed to study dogs—a poor proxy, as our furry friends have fewer facial expressions than their ancestors.

(These techniques have previously been used to study facial expressions in cats.)

These expressions were common to all of the gray, arctic, and Canadian wolf packs the researchers observed.
