I know, when I got braces, the orthodontist told me she had 28 year old patient before me. She went on to say it wasn't that uncommon for adults to have braces.
And this is how great scientists start their journey; discover something that doesn’t look right and then do whatever it takes to document the results so others can use or build on that research to develop a solution to mitigate the problem, or to find a resolution good or bad. Way to go Lauren...
Smarter than the reporters on the topic for sure, it's not their field. Smarter than the other research biologists who are college educated and have professional experience? Nigh Impossible.

Think it was just another way of crediting her for being so young to achieve something like this since braces are typically something people get as a child.
@@emilytustin4540 Don't know about it being freaky '_' but it was surely cringeworthy. "Love how she has she braces and is being credited with a scientific breakthrough. " The statement makes zero sense
Girl: Finds a way to make a break through on one of the worlds strangest fish. And is like a genius The kid who made a volcano : You dare oppose me mortal
I don't think that's enough to consider her a genius, although she certainly knows what she's doing with science. She's in college now, I'm pretty sure.
I can see English isn't for everyone, it's a figure of speech, the braces is used to represent her age, so she's basically saying, despite being young she's doing serious adult science. Cane, Baby strollers, Braces Can all be used to represent the various age groups that use them. So if a headline says " despite his stroller he achieved first place" you know it's most likely a child, this man's cane didn't prevent him from gold medal" you know it's most likely an elderly man. You guys speak English but don't know anything about it. Go study literature in English or English literature whatever it is called in your part of the world.
Gotta love the media!! smh They shouldve been applauding her accomplishment, not "Wow! cant believe a female with braces could discover such a breakthrough!" as if either of those are any kind of obstacle. talk about demeaning
The fact that she was able to study a live animal at all is shocking. When I was in middle school that wasn’t allowed, and in high school you had to go through all kinds of paperwork and approvals, so no one ever wanted to involve living creatures of any kind. She’s going far in life!
Yes! She was given the opportunity to work with animals and study them. If more children were able to have that access, I bet modern day society would have a lot more to contribute to our beautiful planet. People LOVE to misunderstand the capability of children.
@Sand Hanitizer probably should have just said that then, it's not like only children/young people can have braces. More common yes but not restricted to young people
I think he was referring that mostly kids have braces, so it’s cool that a young person who still has braces is already making scientific discoveries. It does sound very stupid though.
Definitely didnt no school caees wether you mad a "breakthrough" that no one will ever use or care about plus either her dad mad this or gave her the equipment and the idea
@@TooReelFishing hate to break it to you. But they do care. Big or small...her dads help or without her dads help...what she did matters. Science isn’t about getting immediate results. It’s trial and error. Sometimes you move one step closer...sometimes you moves 3 steps back. At her age, I think what she did was great. Yes her dad is a marine biologist, but he was a tool for her to learn. Which is what your professors are there for. But the girl used those tools and teachings and discovered something.
i don't remember the broadcaster saying anything like that. i couldve missed it so direct me to where they said that or something hinting at that. im pretty sure they were just doing a report on a smart kid who is credited for a scientific breakthrough
@@tqas3466 Dude, you said it yourself. "what does gender have to with anything"? That's were he is getting at. Why do you need to say "WoMen In ScIeNcE"? What difference does it make that a women discovered something new about science than a man?
That’s a good video to start thinking what makes a real scientist. What this girl already has is curiosity, perseverance, a good mentor and thriving in a culture where involvement in science projects is supported as a virtue. The rest will add up. Way to go!
"Real scientists took your data" homie shes a scientist too. They diminished this girl in so many ways. Lots of salt water fish can breath in fresh water, but not many fresh water can breath in salt. I'm surprised this wasnt tested earlier.
It wasnt about the adaptability of the Lion fish but instead to understand its voracious appetite was not specific exclusively in salt water but startling and unfortunstely invasive to fresh water fish as well and that is a serious problem as these fish have begun to multiply at an alarming rate.
@@tamarakennedy4976 they've been an invasive species for years. Ive built a few fish tanks and worked with people who have lionfish. They eat anything and everything.

I know the story was about scientific studies on lionfish but I liked the background story. That father set a great example for his daughter. I see a great future for this future biologist.
Is there a particular reason at 1:24 when Arrington was asked "so no one really knew lionfish were a threat in rivers like this one" he didn't reply "well, my PhD student Zack Jud had discovered lionfish in rivers like this one, but we didn't have exact numbers to know how easily they could survive"? It's one thing to claim the little girl came up with the idea to empirically test the exact salinity at which lionfish can survive. It's another to tell the media she pointed out an environmental threat that no one was aware of. The first sounds like it's definitely the case.

@@rumpelpumpel7687 The USA Today article does not cover the 2011 paper either in the Article, or at the end with a Link to the Article. Only statements from the Researcher about the Paper. It doesn't even cover the Paper was Published? It does not even cover what Research was covered in his paper, only "Similar". We know that Whales, Sharks, and other "Saltwater" creatures have been found "Lost" in Fresh water areas, but were rescued back to Saltwater before any time in the Fresh water could be seen as dangerous to them. I worked over 40years in Healthcare, and you won't believe how many similar complaints (Worded same way as the Article you are pointing to) r/t papers in the JAMA, and other Healthcare Professional Journals, and Magazines. The Article you are pointing to is NOT pointing to even one jot of truth, only someone who is upset. His paper could have been about seeing Lionfish in Fresh water but with no idea of how long they were there (as per the Lost Saltwater creatures; I have already covered) or what type of Study he did? So taking this type of Article with no proof, or evidence pointed to and we know how fast "Reporters" will lash on to a possible story ... is nothing more than gossip. USA Today is not a Gossip Tabloid, but all Real news stories do errors. There is not even a Link to a Later story with proof / or Evidence. To that reporter saw someone complaining as "News" to them, and does a story to see if others come out of the Woodwork but again the News Story has NO Follow Up.
Why did they not know this since even back in the 80's in fish stores we knew lion fish could survive in fresh water when giving them fresh water baths to rid of parasites.
Minutes, hours, and even days are not remotely the same thing as "permanently". Fish quickly die out of water, except a few can go up to a day or more out of the water.
@@lordgarion514 You obviously did not get what I meant. This was known decades ago. We knew this by experimenting in tanks while working in stores. Just because science has not documented something doesn't mean people already didn't know about it.

All the journalist had to say was "i love that she has braces and she's being credited with a scientific breakthrough". Damn, these people are dead walking.
"How did you feel when REAL scientists..." what do you mean guy, she is a real scientist. Isnt that what she proved with this? Is a scientist defined by someone who has a degree in the scientific arts? Kind of asinine to say that if you ask me sir.
I tried a similar experiment in West Germany in 1973. It was trout going to greater salinity from fresh water. Several died. The experiment was not completed because I did not return to that university for next semester.
@@madmaniac6778 I like seeing this, but she didn't really discover anything whatsoever. Lionfish can adapt to lower salt levels in water, so can alot of salt water fish... What I can guarantee you is these fish will die in freshwater, all she did was lower the salt levels slowly.... If you keep a lionfish in freshwater it will die point blank.
Her dad is a marine biologist. Is this really her discovery if he taught her all the techniques, provided her the resources, told her what to measure, and what to modulate? On the other hand, this is the incredible thing about science. Even young children (6th grade is fairly mature I will admit) can discover reality-shaping data. With the right resources and mentorship children can genuinely and directly contribute to the body of scientific knowledge and possibly to the body of scientific literature.
Actually it is probably a reference to her age. Most people that wear braces are 12 - 14 years old so what she poorly got across was she is so young and still got scientific breakthrough.
that’s so cool! honestly ideas don’t have to be Phd level to be really impactful. We should foster more places like this so more kids can play out their ideas, who knows what kinda of scientific breakthroughs could happen that way.
@i tell you hwhat I think they mean it in a way that she still has her braces on but already had a breakthrough. In the same way people say "Nisha could do math even when she still drank from baby bottles".
I feel that the dad already knew about the lion fish experiment in his field of study, but kept it a secret. He then passed the lion fish experiment on to his daughter to have her recognized for colleges, opportunities and whatever his intentions were.

"I love that she has braces and is being credited with a scientific breakthrough".....am I missing something? Da fuq her braces have to do with anything? These adults on TV make my head hurt. The anchor have braces? Soooooooooooo what
I know, when I got braces, the orthodontist told me she had 28 year old patient before me. She went on to say it wasn't that uncommon for adults to have braces.
Chill bro. You just misconstrued. She meant shes young but already an achiever
A more appropriate comment on the anchor's behalf would have been "I'm impressed to see a young person achieve this level of quality work."
"Yai-isnt theeeaaatah a greeeeaaatah stooooreeee?" Same people who can't science even an egg to make a home made omelet
She looks like the Dentist niece from Nemo
And this is how great scientists start their journey; discover something that doesn’t look right and then do whatever it takes to document the results so others can use or build on that research to develop a solution to mitigate the problem, or to find a resolution good or bad. Way to go Lauren...

Lots of salt water fish can breath in fresh water, but not many fresh water can breath in salt. I'm surprised this wasnt tested earlier.
It wasnt about the adaptability of the Lion fish but instead to understand its voracious appetite was not specific exclusively in salt water but startling and unfortunstely invasive to fresh water fish as well and that is a serious problem as these fish have begun to multiply at an alarming rate.
@@tamarakennedy4976 they've been an invasive species for years. Ive built a few fish tanks and worked with people who have lionfish. They eat anything and everything.

It's one thing to claim the little girl came up with the idea to empirically test the exact salinity at which lionfish can survive. It's another to tell the media she pointed out an environmental threat that no one was aware of. The first sounds like it's definitely the case. The latter is just plain lying.
