Neverfall, an anomaly in this world, has a face so terrifying that she must wear a mask. Since she is still capable of showing genuine expressions without the Facesmiths, Neverfall is a threat to the controlled structure of Caverna.

The Selenium Solution
This video features a project involving scientists Dr. Ingrid Pickering, Dr. Graham George and a team of cross-disciplinary researchers who investigated the link between arsenic and selenium, two elements on the periodic table that appear to cancel each other out. Arsenic is naturally present in the Earth's crust and in some parts of the world, such as Bangladesh and India, arsenic deposits are poisoning drinking water. The researchers are attempting to use selenium to counteract arsenic poisoning in these areas. Although the project began as "curiosity-driven" research with little apparent real-life application, this research could lead to improved quality of life for millions of people. The video demonstrates the scientific process in action and does a good job of reinforcing the important role of curiosity and creativity in science.
