Integrity in Education
In this episode of Science Live, Dr. Roger Billings delivers a powerful and personal message on integrity in education — and why real knowledge is always worth the work.
Then explore the breathtaking science behind bald eagles — from their extraordinary 20/4 vision and UV light detection to the winglet technology inspired by eagle feathers now used on commercial aircraft.
Plus, discover the remarkable recovery story of how bald eagles were brought back from fewer than 420 nesting pairs to over 70,000 today — one of the greatest endangered species success stories in American history.

Amazing that someone so young could achieve something so great
This is cool!
Hello from nevada
That was so funny the bold eagle
Hello from Michigan
eagles are so cool
Im glad to be apart of this program
Bald eagles received their name because they are stark white.
Can’t wait to learn
I guess people with white hair would’ve been ‘balde,’ I find that intriguing
Cool video
Could the drone snatching eagles be trained to detect criminals in similar vein to a canine?
Hi from ct!
so excited and this is so cool : ) it is cool that eagles can see 2 miles away and hunt drones
hi from illinois
I think you should train an eagle to watch over R51 to keep him out of trouble.
That’s a really good idea, Tyr! 🤣🤣
Nah bro poor BALD eagle
Hello Tobias, eagles are beautiful and amazing!
I didn’t know eagles were used to catch drones! Always learning new things during this science episodes!
Hello from Illinois!
bald eagles are awsome!!!
I love watching birds, so this is cool to see.
Hi from Ks
I heard dragonflies have tiny ridges on the surface of their wings to reduce drag.
hello from GA
Hi from GA!! I love Roger Billings!
Super excited for the live
good evening from mississippi!!
Hi from Tennessee. Hi y’all I Love science live😄
Hi from Nebraska.
Eagles are beautiful
I love the bird talk!
I love eagles
How did the bald eagle get its name?
Bald eagles are so cool I love thag they are the national bird of America
I love this
I love eagles ! <3
that is so cool😁
My brother and me thought it was super cool they could catch drones.
I wonder how the science of a dogs nose works for such special smelling
I love that because what if you had an outdoor shower!
Hello I am Brinley And I’m From Ohio.
The first plane was actually inspired by a vulture, we can learn a lot from nature, I’m wondering if we can learn other things from nature
very cool
Great video thus far!
Birds are very intelligent, it’s so interesting that they’re being utilized in law enforcement.
That’s so cool the can catch drones
Hi from Kansas
Hii I’m from New Boston tx
Crazy that little winglet can save millions of fuel have a good day
Very excited for todays episode!
Hello from Mississippi
That’s amazing we can work so well with animals!!
hello from tennesee
Hello from Texas!
Hi I am from Kentucky and I want to know how the flaps lets reduce drag?
what do eagles and drones have to do in science common wise?
hello Acellus
Cool! eagles trained to take out drones.
hi from texas
Hello from Ella Watson AND Emma Watson
Wow!! Eagles are incredibly talented!!!
I made it here in time… Also, hello from Mississippi!
I love that because what if you had an outdoor shower?
That’s so cool that the police are training birds now!
Hi from Georgia.
Hi from Georgia
Hi from GA!!
Actively training eagles to attack drones. That is hilarious!
Thank you Dr. John, very informative.
I love Science Live! hello from Missouri!!

wasn’t the first “plane” inspired by a type of bird?
Eagles are super cool!
Yeah, there awsome
That’s awesome the can catch drones

Hi from Ohio
So cool how so much aviation technology can be contributed to birds! Love science live!!!
Hi Eben! You’re so right! Science is awesome!
thank you for the information!!!
Hello from texas
hello frum VA
Please do more of these
Hi my name is Taylor and I love art so my idea is to make an Art Class that can teach us history of art and how to use math to also make a masterpiece. It can be educational and still fun, and I am in 7th grade and I think we should start this year in the summer to have art classes for middle schooler’s.
happy to be here today
hello from mississippi
This is so interesting
Hello from magnolia!
I’m here from texas

how can feathers make a airplain better when flying?
Hi from North Carolina
Im very lucky to have the opportunity to be on this live & get to learn more things!
hello from GA
I’ve always found eagles to be fascinating creatures due to their excellent eyesight. Eagles look so cool when they do those amazing death spirals.
Gonna be good!
Learning from nature is what made us great, Eagles are amazing!

Hi guys! Happy Wednesday!
hello how can I join the Acellus community from the app I wish there was another way to comment other students because the ones Acellus have are good but sometimes the are not strong like what I might be thinking in my brain what if the other classmate got a 100 in there final exam in the same course I have and I got a 97 what if I would like them to know and congratulate them better or the opposite and motivating them
Hello from Ohio!
Watching from California!
I’m Emmitt excited for science live.
Eagles have 20/5 vision? Wow, I never knew that specifically.
hello from texas
I loved learning about how eagles can see so far!
Why do Egels see better then us?🫤
Hi, Noah here.
It’s crazy how complicated one airplane can be .

Hello from Iowa!
Hi everyone I’m from Grand Prairie
hi from georgia
im from georgia to
hi from guatemala
Hi from texas
This life is so interesting, I did not know eagles were so cool .. 🙂
Colton here from South Carolina
Why does an eagles eye see better than a human eye if its eye has 20/5 and we have 20/20?
Thanks for your question Nia! 20/20 means you can see clearly from 20 feet away. But 20/5 means an eagle can see the same tiny details from 20 feet that we’d only see if we were 5 feet away! Their eyes are way sharper, like built-in super binoculars. 🦅
hey from nc
nice live!
hello from virginia!
Could artificial intelligence be used to investigate and somehow discover ways to improve human eyesight based on observations and experiments over animals such as the eagle?
Hello from NV
Here from georgia
