With Wadi Drone, images from remote desert areas are beamed wirelessly, saving time, resources, and, most importantly, protecting the lives of the rangers who work in this harsh territory. NYUAD Biology Professor Justin Blau (above) and a team of scientists linked changes in the structure of a handful of central brain neurons to understanding how animals adjust to changing seasons. Its findings enhance our understanding of the mechanisms vital to the regulation of our circadian system, or internal clock. NYUAD's 100! Dates Project aims to find out about the genetic diversity of the date palm, which will help researchers understand how date palms evolved and provide tools for improving the cultivation of an important and symbolic UAE plant. Computer science students at the NYUAD International Hackathon created code for a wearable device that would monitor construction worker health and send data reports to governments or third parties. The system would also warn workers if they are dehydrated or getting too much sun.
