Almost Human with OSUZ504

Exciting things are afoot! Today we start the first class of the new Bioengineering 101 class (with labs!) that will include fungal and bacterial culturing, CRIsPR 9 gene selection and all manner of interesting things. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/osuz504-tech/support

Environmental Organic Chemistry continued - chapter 12. I am interested in this for PFAS sequestration application for a project at work that I'm experimenting with so I wanted to brush up on some sorbing details. [joke alert.

Schwarzenbach et. al Environmental Organic Chemistry Very good review of processes, systems, compartments, media and some basic governing equations. I skipped the math bits (mostly) because they are annoying to read but did try and do a verbal walk through of the equations' salient uses. A good review of modeling was also included in the next chapter, but we'll skip that (math/graph heavy) and focus on partitioning and transport for the next episode. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/osuz504-tech/support

Nice guys finish last. Except when they don't. Phaistos is a good person, a kind person and he just can't get over his no-good, immature, loser of a cosmic crush. It's the story of what happens when love doesn't work out the way it's supposed to and the sweet success of gay toxicity. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/osuz504-tech/support

This week, we are looking at the mechanisms for bacterial metabolisms, the rise of an oxygen atmosphere, and the importance of photosynthesis in developing an understanding of life. I get all excited about a ‘second generation' of alien life on earth and present a good reason why there was a couple billion years difference between cyanobacteria arising on earth and the actual development of a high oxygen atmosphere. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/osuz504-tech/support
