College of Charleston's "Shrimp on a Treadmill"
Featured on the NBC Today Show
The NBC "Today Show" recently featured a College of Charleston scientific experiment that has turned into an Internet sensation.
College of Charleston's Lou Burnett and Pacific University's David Scholnick spoke to Today Show hosts Matt Lauer, Meredith Vieira and Al Roker about their research entitled "Shrimp on Treadmill". The research started as a simple investigation on the impact of bacteria on shrimp, but soon turned into a runaway Internet fascination with more than 30 versions of the original film on sites including YouTube.
The footage features a shrimp running on a special treadmill.
You can also see video of a crab on a treadmill (an experiment Lou did following the shrimp on a treadmill) on the College's YouTube page – www.YouTube.com/CollegeofCharleston.
