A Novel RNAi Approach to Crop Protection - Todd Hauser 35:46

5M ago35:46

35:46

Even under the best conditions, crops need our assistance to survive the numerous threats that limit production. Classically, synthetic and natural compounds have been used to control insects, fungi and weeds, sometimes with negative collateral effects or fostering resistance of genetically tolerant genotypes. Todd Hauser from Trillium Ag describes…

Drugs from the Rainforest - Lisa Conte 42:07

5M ago42:07

42:07

There is tremendous variation in the plant kingdom, as plants have adapted to many ecological niches with discrete challenges. Part of adaptation is production of novel secondary metabolites, compounds not required for central metabolism that serve a role in the plant, such as defense or attraction of pollinators. The rainforest is replete with unu…

Proposed Gene Editing Changes in the EU -Dr. Emma Kovak 49:16

5M ago49:16

49:16

Gene editing is a powerful and specific technique that allows customized changes to DNA. Because there are no additional sequences transferred, and alternations match what could happen naturally over time, the technology is considered less invasive and less prone to regulatory oversight. That's true in the USA, Canada, China and other nations. Howe…

"On Disinformation" Critical Conversations in the Post-Truth Era- Dr. Lee McIntyre 53:47

6M ago53:47

53:47

Information has been weaponized, and the ability to create false information to achieve an ideological goal has never been more easy. Political polarization, science denial, and a shining, effective conduit of dissemination (the internet) allows anyone with an agenda to recruit the like minded, and produce compelling media to reinforce bankrupt ide…

Therapeutics Controlling Protein Turnover - Dr. Juliet Williams 38:18

6M ago38:18

38:18

While DNA captures most of the fanfare, proteins are the catalytic and structural superstars of the cell. However, they can also become problematic. Cells have intricate mechanisms to remove damaged or mis-expressed proteins that could be deleterious to cellular function. This process is mediated by a process called ubiquitination, mediated by a sp…

Rapid Detection of Dangerous Pathogens - Dr. Brad Perkins 40:59

6M ago40:59

40:59

We're surrounded by microbes, many that are the basis of disease. Others have evolved resistance to our best antibiotics. Others may be weaponized for bioterrorism. Because microbial threats can evolve rapidly and grow quickly, early detection of a microbial threat is essential. Dr. Brad Perkins of Karius describes the threats of microbes, his comp…

Biotechnology in the Crime Lab - Brian Hoey 56:57

8M ago56:57

56:57

DNA has been an invaluable tool to make certain matches between a suspect and a crime. Since its early use in the 1980s, we have seen an explosion in DNA sequence availability, allowing forensic scientists to identify hypervariable regions of the genome that can assist in confirming a person's identity. However, there are many ethical issues surrou…
