i'm phil torres with kyle and crystal. >> i know you lead a double life, phil. you are drinking coffee, talking about technology and science, but you do research in the amazon. tell me about that. >> i have way too much fun down there. the reason why is there's so many things left to be discovered. what i'm about to show you is two things i've been working on - one with jaguars and one with a spider. check it out. >> it is breath taking. and at the same time mysterious. the amazon jungle covers on area of over 2.7 million square miles and stretches across the borders of nine nations. this green wonderland has more than a million insect species, tens of thousands of plants, birds and fish. i've been exploring the amazon for the past few years. my specialty is butterflies, but on this trip i'm looking for this magnificent cat. the jaguar is a specie, it needs a lot of habitat and prefers areas with less and dense cover. >> the jaguar is considered endangered, there's around 15,000 jaguars left in the wild. >> miguel is a wildlife biologist conducting jaguar resear

. >> hello and welcome, i'm phil torres, talking about innovations that can save live. we'll do it in a unique way. this is a show about scientists. let's check out the team. kyle hill is an engineer. he's on the trail of something decimating bee population. >> crystal dilworth is a molecular neuroscientist. she shows us california's hi tech grapes - how science can achieve perfection in a glass. i'm phil torres. i'm an entermologist and i'll show you the spiders i found in peru. and how scent affects jaguars. that's the team, let's do some science. hey, guys, welcome to a fun week of science in the field. kyle, what is happening to the bee, how can we save them? >> bee populations are diminishing around the country. i wanted to find out why. i travelled to the heartland of america to find innovative ways to find technology to save the bees. late summer in barrett minnesota it is usually buzzing with activity. i think we are ready to walk down to the beehives. >> the midwest is known for the commercial bee industry. we have empty boxes not filled with honey. nothing. >>

i'll phil torres, here to talk about innovations can change lives. we are going to explore the intersection of hardware and humanity. this is a show about science, by scientists. let's check out our team of hard core nerds. lindsay moran is an ex-cia operative. tonight she has a real drama, a face transplant that almost ended in death, and an invasion that saved a woman's life. tonight she is in the mountains of california where condors are making a come back, thanks to a simple use of technology. and i'm phil torres, i'm an entomology. i study insects in the rain forest of peru. that's our team, now let's do some science. another week of life to changing invasions in science. we are starting today with lindsay. you have incredible touching story of a transformation in a woman. who had a face transplant, tell me the story? >> this was truly a life changing use of technology. she had a full face transplant. here is the procedure. i want to emthat size, this is still very cutting edge. there have only been seven face transplants in the united states. c

phil torres studies insects in the rain forest of ecuador and peru. tonight our real-life spider-man takes us to colorado where iron man comes to life helping one woman stand tall despite a devastating disability. this is an engineering who designed a buy bionic eye. this young man invented a test to predict cancer. i'm a science major with a background in neurology. that's our team, and now let's do some science. >>> we're back here at our favorite meeting place have been some coffee, and you guys did some incredible stories this week. it's interested to start out and hear about this exosuit for you, phil. >> the wheelchair was invented about 1500 years ago, so i'm sure we're due to an upgrade. this might be it, guys. check out this robot. this is where it's getting tested, but it's there on an actual person. i got to meet the test pilots that put these suits through their paces and some really amazing people. let's take a look. >> hi. >> this is a dream happening to them. >> these kids on a summer camp in aspen, colorado are about to give amanda a l

i'm phil torres, an i'm with lindsay and costa. you were telling us about your c.i.a.s with taxi drivers. >> when i was in the agency i always struck up conversations with cab drivers. they're almost always from other countries and you nevada know who they are. they could be physicists. it in is a pilot program going on in new york city where they're driving around completely electric vehicles. it's a really cool story. >> imagine a new york city with taxi fleet dominated by electric vehicles. now imagine the year, is i it 2030? 2050? how about 1899. that's right. there were close to 100 batly powered taxis on the streets of new york. that same year one of the electric cabs earned the city's first speeding violations barreling down the avenue at 10 mph. 114 years later electric taxis are back. the city is rolling out six fully electric nissans for a year-long test run. >> this is where i plug in. >> an owner operator who has been driving a taxi for 17 years. he's also one of the test drivers. >> it's something new . it's never been tested before, and i wanted to be a p
