Typographer and illustrator Craig Ward heard an urban legend that "using the handrails on the subway is like shaking hands with 100 people." He decided to test that theory by sampling the bacteria on subway lines around New York City and photographing his findings. The results were striking and unconventional "portraits" of NYC commuters.

The guests at the WorMotel check in with a plop. Each guest has a private room, cozy and controlled temperatures, and enough food to last a lifetime. There’s just one catch: They can never leave. Featuring a silicone plate with an array of 240 wells that host tiny nematodes, the WorMotel is the creation of researchers in the Fang-Yen Lab at the University of Pennsylvania. Researchers to study thousands of the worms at a time in the hopes of revealing which of their 20,000 genes control aging.

For USGS wildlife biologist Karyn Rode, tracking and tranquilizing polar bears from a helicopter are just the first thrilling steps in her research. After acquiring various samples from sleeping bears, Dr. Rode's unique understanding of what they eat and how quickly they metabolize nutrients allows her to determine the condition of each bear. Working with a team of scientists from the US Fish and Wildlife Service for nearly a decade, Dr. Rode's monitoring of polar bear health has helped reveal how well populations are adapting to the rapidly warming Arctic.

We expect that our clothing won't tear or fade after one wearing and its dyes won't bleed in the wash. But confidence in our clothing shouldn't be taken for granted. It owes much to an oft-overlooked field of study - textile quality assurance. Professor Sean Cormier of the Fashion Institute of Technology details the rigorous yet fun tests that ensure your clothing doesn't just match your aesthetic standards - but meets a universal criteria for durability, color-fastness, construction and safety.

In 2014, Manhattanhenge will be on May 29-30 and July 11-12. Find out more info on the American Museum of Natural History's site: http://www.amnh.org/our-resear....ch/hayden-planetariu

Twice a year, the sunset lines up with New York City's street grid -- making for spectacular views. Neil deGrasse Tyson, director of the Hayden Planetarium in New York, identified the cosmic event over a decade ago and coined it Manhattanhenge. In this video from 2009, we watched the sun from 42nd Street, along with about 50 other astronomical enthusiasts.

MC Frontalot, aka Damian Hess, makes a living rapping about data encryption, rare diseases, video games and the nerd life. When we stopped by his Brooklyn apartment, Frontalot described Nerdcore, his name for the genre, as "the inversion of the shame of geekery... into pride." Dr. Awkward, a California-based nerdcore rapper, says that people assume nerd rap is a joke: "But it's not really about the juxtaposition of those two worlds -- nerdiness and hip-hop -- it just happens to be nerds expressing themselves through hip-hop."

Creating the scintillating scents and sensations of a perfume presents a lesson in molecular chemistry and craftwork. With the help of the Institute of Art and Olfaction, we'll take you on tour of how perfumes are made and how they can be creatively scattered for artistic means.

A hawk moth (Manduca sexta) feeds by hovering in front of flowers and slurping nectar through a proboscis, basically a body-length straw. To understand how these moths keep such a precise position in the air, Tyson Hedrick, a biomechanist at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, tried destabilizing moths in a variety of different ways and tracked their responses using high speed cameras.

Behold lighting bugs of a different color! SciFri listener Chris Lavin stumbled upon fluorescing blue millipedes during an evening stroll near her home in Canyon, California and sent along video documentation. Glowing-millipede specialist Paul Marek, an entomologist at the University of Arizona, identified the millipedes, and explained what's known about their mysterious glow.
