Third Thumb Research

This isn’t just a video about having a third thumb. It’s also a story of how research works.

Start with what you could do with another thumb on your hand. What uses does the video show? What else might be possible?

Consider now that this is a video put together by a research team about their work. Have you ever used a video to tell a serious story? Why might you use a video instead of some other way of sharing what you know?
