hospital in philadelphia. he's in copenhagen at this meeting. he said this work is being done in los angeles, philly, all over the world. you see a lot of experts working on something. very promising. >> and another sign, diminished sense of smell could be a sign? >> yes. for a lot of the same reasons. the nose tells us how the brain is functioning. they're finding decreased sense of smell in patients with alzheimer's. there's a promising way we can screen. >> thank you. now to the dire and desperate search to find those more than 200 schoolgirls kidnapped by the terror group in nigeria. one of the most famous young women in the world, pakistani human rights activist malala, just celebrated her 17th birthday on saturday. she's in that country of nigeria to help secure the release of these girls. amy is there.

7:16 am
>> reporter: if they're listening to your words right now, what is your message? >> what they're doing is barely impacting the name of islam. it's not the real islam. they should think about their own sisters and they should release those girls. it's a request, it's a request, please.

8:33 am
>> very morning friendly. thank you. >> exactly. >> there will be a lot of people that watch it and go, yes. and you and jason, i mean, i know it's a reunion of "bad teacher." w but you can tell you trust one another. you have to be comfortable. >> we're doing silly thing that with another person might be really awkward. and, maybe inappropriate. but we're jus, we kind of describe it as a locker room sort of vibe. lots of high-fives. team -- let's go team. okay, what's our strategy here? between jake, the director of bad teacher, that we all worked together. the three of us kind of in those more sort of moments that are a little bit more -- could be more awkward, it was like, me and jason kind oup of with jake above us going, just a little to the left. it's not really. you know, you're like this is kind of strange. >> it is national nude day.
