And let me tell you, social media had some GOOD suggestions! So many that we're saving a long list to consult next year. The ultimate winner for today was selected because (A) You can trust author Eric A. Kimmel to present an original Hanukkah story every single time and (B) Betsy was already on a Barbara McClintock kick this year thanks to her work on Tomfoolery! Today we step back in time to 1998 when Mr. Kimmel thought it might be interesting to go all Borrowers on us and create a tale of tiny people battling great big kitty cats.

Show Notes: The book, The Soul's Code, offers a way to see thru children's misbehaviors for the deeper meaning behind them, i.e., see the oak tree when all you have in front of you is an acorn. Too many kids get mislabeled & misdiagnosed because our lens is so short-term oriented; also the medical & psychological communities are so pathology & negative & deficit focused. Children's behaviors reveal something positive about the child, instead of seeing developmental problems, look for the beauty & meaning in what you see and then love and accept your kids for who they are. Dr. Jordan shares many stories of his patients and eminent people to illustrate how an important part of our job as parents is to create an environment for children's soul and destiny to flourish. This includes stories about Gandhi, Picasso, pioneering geneticist Barbara McClintock, Woody Allen, Painter Benjamin West, architect Frank Lloyd Wright, climber Sir Edmund Hillary, primatologists Jane Goodall and Brute Mary Galdikas, and actress Betty Davis.

Biologa brillante e anticonvenzionale con idee molto spesso in contrasto con la comunità scientifica del tempo, come tutti i grandi precursori della storia non ebbe vita facile, tanto che il premio Nobel per la medicina le fu riconosciuto oltre tre decenni dopo la sua scoperta dei trasposoni.

"If you know you are on the right track, if you have this inner knowledge, then nobody can turn you off... no matter what they say." This is said by a Nobel prize winner - Barbara McClintock. Do you know who is she? Why did she win the Nobel prize? How did she rose beyond ignorance? Well, her story of winning the Nobel prize is surely going to inspire you. Her story will restore your faith in sweet fruits of patience and hard work. Barbara McClintock was an American scientist. She won the Nobel prize in 1983 for Physiology or Medicine. Her discovery in the 1940s and '50s of mobile genetic elements, or “jumping genes” got her the prestigious prize. She also faced discrimination on the basis of gender. This happened when she returned to her University Cornell. The university was reluctant to hire a female professor. For years, she was ignored, she was denied opportunities just because she was a woman. But she used each obstacle as a stepping stone towards her goals. Her passion brought her victory.

Dr. McClintock was an influential geneticist, whose groundbreaking work went against conventional ideas of genetics at the time. She discovered ‘jumping genes' in maize, now known as transposable elements. Dr. McClintock also set in motion the study of epigenetics, 40 years before the field was formally recognized. It took decades before the scientific community recognized Dr. McClintock's ideas, but despite the criticism, she never let up. Show notes:Please rate, review, and subscribe to Young & Not So Stupid.Take a look at our instagram @youngandnotsostupidpod Support us on patreon: https://www.patreon.com/youngandnotsostupidpodSend us an email with your fieldwork Friday posts and ideas on future episodes: youngandnotsostupidpod@gmail.comVisit our blog for more information about our sources: https://youngandnotsostupi.wixsite.com/podblog Music by: Kevin Macleod

She was also the inventor of replica plating - a technique still used in microbiology labs all over the world today - yet struggled to get tenure and recognition for her work.Harriet Creighton, the first graduate student of groundbreaking plant geneticist Barbara McClintock, discovered how chromosomes cross over and switch sections of DNA when germ cells are made. But after seeing how difficult it was for her mentor to get funding, Harriet left research in favour of a career as a university lecturer.Tsuneko Okazaki discovered the eponymous 'Okazaki fragments' - short fragments produced when DNA is copied - together with her husband Reiji. While many said that it was a Nobel-worthy discovery, Reiji died in his 40s, and Tsuneko was never awarded the prize in her own right.And finally, there's the story Martha Chase, whose famous 'blender experiment' with Alfred Hershey helped to prove that DNA carries the genetic information inside cells.Full show notes, including scripts and music credits at GeneticsUnzipped.com

Barbara McClintock’s work on the genetics of corn won her a Nobel prize in 1983. Her research on jumping genes challenged the over-simplified picture of chromosomes and DNA that Watson and Crick’s discovery has all too often been used to support. During the half century that she worked at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory she became something of a living legend, a pioneer in a time when women weren’t expected to take much interest in science. In that story, she made a profound discovery that her male colleagues dismissed for years, leaving her out in the cold until they finally realized that it was true and granted her a belated Nobel Prize. Philip Ball tells the story of Barbara McLintock's life and work, from her early preference for sports, for solitude, and for intellectual life, that disturbed her parents, to her meticulous research on corn. In conversation with her recent biographer, Dr Nathaniel Comfort of Johns Hopkins University, he explores the facts and the fictions that grew up around her. Philip Ball talks about the legacy of her discovery of jumping genes with Professor Greg Hannon of the Cancer Research UK Institute at Cambridge University, who spent 25 years working in the McLintock Laboratory at Cold Spring Harbor.

Join Dr. Michele on the Body Wisdom Podcast as she interviews guest Perry Marshall, discussing epigenetics and Evolution 2.0. Perry Marshall is an exciting guest bringing a fresh perspective to the 150-year old evolution debate and illuminating the science behind evolutionary processes. With a decade of research and some personal discovery squeezed in there too, Perry harnesses an engineer’s outsider’s perspective to reveal a century of unrecognized research and discoveries. An author, speaker and world-renowned business consultant with a degree in Electrical Engineering, Perry dives deep into the workings of our human bodies, the nature of evolution, and how we can harness nature’s wisdom to optimize our own health and performance. He even compares human evolution to a swiss army knife, and DNA to computer code, as well as touching on subjects like how viruses mutate within hours! While your doctor will say you have to take the full course of antibiotics, Perry illuminates why it is so important. Show Notes: 1. Epigenetics: How did Perry get started down the evolution rabbit hole? It all started with an argument with his brother. As pastor's kids, they were both passionate about their stance. Perry was a scientist and an engineer, while his brother was a believer in Darwinism. Ten years later, the book Evolution 2.0 was born. If you use medicine, you need to figure out how we got here in the first place. There are many things that we haven't been told yet. Evolution 2.0 is a different way of looking at health. The concept of epigenetics is a hard concept for some people to grasp. The poplular concept of genes is wrong. It was thought that genes are everything, that you inherit your genetics and that there is nothing you can do to change your genes. This is wrong. There is a two-way biofeedback system between you and your genes. Everything you do, from what you eat to how you exercise, can change your genes. This is called epigenetics. For example, a study by a pediatric toxicologist at UCLA found that the epigenetic effects of secondhand smoke on children  were most noted from the child's grandparent who smoked. So the number one effect of secondhand smoke is inherited from grandparents who smoke. Epigenetics is like temporarily silencing genes and then turning them on when you need them. You are actively participating in your own epigenetics every day of your own life. The same thing happens with the food we eat. It is affecting future generations. This does not happen by accident. Our bodies constantly adjust to everything that is going on around us. Our choices affect us, our children, our future generations, and everyone around us. We have more power than was originally thought. There is a Darwinian narrative that is inherently disempowering. We are not random accidents. We do not only do what our genes program us to do. We have free will. 2. Symbiogenesis: Symbiogenesis is cooperation. 90% of the cells in your body are symbiotic bacteria that live on our skin and in our bodies. These kinds of symbiotic relationships in nature show that mother nature is more cooperative in nature than competitive. For example, let's look at mitochondria (the parts of the cells that turn oxygen into energy). Our cells have mitochondria in them, so our cells are cooperative with mitochondria. Another example: Termites can digest wood becasue they have bacteria in their stomach that can digest wood. Our bodies are better than any machine that could ever be invented. Evolution is a cooperative process. It's not this survival of the fittest competition that we've been taught. 3. Biologists vs. Physiologists: Dennis Noble, who figured out the cardiac rhythm and made pace makers possible, is a physiologist and the former president of the Physiologists Association. He states that the way that they taught evolution to us was wrong. He found that there was a complex regulatory network with genes where, when the body is under stress, the body will do different things. He figured out the stress response. He organized a conference at Oxford called New Trends in Evolution Conference last year. Approximately 2/3 of what we were taught about evolution was wrong. Even some of the things we were taught in medical school were wrong, such as certain disorders and diseases. We need critical thinkers now more than ever. Evolution 2.0 is the story of a renegade, but it is getting more and more endorsements from biologists and higher level teaching institutions day by day. Does this make sense to me? It's important that we are all wide awake. 4. Artificial Intelligence: AI is trying to do what living things do already very efficiently. They're paying software engineers to create bots like Siri, Alexa, and self-driving cars, which are weak imitations of humans. Perry has created the $5 Million Technology Prize to see if someone could figure out where life gets its spark. If we could figure this out, we could make a huge technological leap forward, and we could understand our bodies better, we could understand our cells better, and we could understand biology better. It's called the Evolution 2.0 Prize. You win if you find out how did we get from chemicals to code. Your body is an information processing system, not just a bunch of chemicals. This is the problem with traditional western medicine. The robots aren't going to be doing the creative things that humans are created to do. The bots are going to be doing the boring jobs. Acutally, this could make youir job a lot more productive and effective. You need to be forward thinking, not worrying. How do I make the AI my slave? Don't worry about how AI will make you its slave. 5. Evolution 2.0: Breaking the Deadlock Between Darwin and Design You can get 3 free chapters of the book at cosmicfingerprints.com You can also find in here on amazon. Our bodies are wise. Barbara McClintock talks about cells being wise in her Nobel Prize-winning paper. She studied what cells do when they're faced with new situations.

Among the things we like to do here, is speak to people who look at phenomena from slightly different lenses. Today, that phenomenon is evolution and my guest is Perry Marshall. Perry is an entrepreneur, an engineer, an expert on online market, and someone who has very thoroughly looked at the science of evolution. He has written a book entitled Evolution 2.0 - Breaking the Deadlock Between Darwin and Design. Evolution 2.0 aims to look at evolution in a way that is different to what advocates of Intelligent Design and Neo-Darwinism believe. Perry's insights are fascinating and thought provoking. Regardless of whether you are and Atheist-Agnostic like me, a hardcore Atheist, religious, or simply spiritual, I think you will find the discussion extremely interesting. Perry and I cover: His background and how he got into studying evolution in the first place (Perry is the son of a pastor and grew up as a devout Christian); How he got himself "unstuck" in his research (and the links between evolution and internet algorithms); Randomness and gene adaptation; Intelligent design versus neo-Darwinism; Symbiotic life; Bacteria; CRISPR and gene editing; Loads more!

It's not just organisms that compete in nature—molecules do, too. Sofie Salama and colleagues have been exploring an age-old tug-of-war inside our genome, between genes that spread like kudzu and others that perform a kind of weed control. The conflict between jumping genes (aka transposons), and repressors may have a biological payoff, contributing new regulatory elements that drive organismal complexity and new evolutionary possibilities. Among the subjects Sofie and I discussed: *The pioneering work of Barbara McClintock, discoverer of transposons *The possible viral origins of jumping genes *Do transposons hurt us or help us? *Watching the intragenomic “arms race” in action *There's so much more to the genome than genes *Combinatorial complexity: how a modest number of genes give rise to much more complicated systems *Epigenetics: beyond classical inheritance

Elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1990 for her work in the field of Plant Biology, Nina Fedoroff is a pioneer in the molecular aspects of plant transposable elements. Building upon the work of Barbara McClintock, she elucidated the sequence of some of these elements, demonstrated their utility for gene cloning and was instrumental in converting the study of plant transposable elements into one accessible by molecular techniques.

A Través del Universo – Memoria de Acceso Aleatorio

Si Emilio García y Pablo Santos abrieron este ciclo dedicado a la mujer en la ciencia hablándonos de mujeres dedicadas a la ciencia de la talla de Hildegard von Bigen, Rosalind Franklin, Barbara McClintock o Rita Levi Montalcini, lo van a cerrar hablándonos de Jocelyn Bell, descubridora junto a Antony Hewish de una notable clase de objetos, los púlsares. Después de repasar ese momento histórico, en el que llegó a plantearse la posibilidad de que los púlsares no respondieran a una señal natural, sino a los _little green men_ (hombrecillos verdes), habaremos con Pepa Masegosa, del IAA-CSIC, sobre la situación actual de las mujeres astrónomas en el panorama nacional y sobre cuales pueden ser las vías para romper definitivamente el techo de cristal. También hablamos con Francesca Figueras, de la Universidad de Barcelona, sobre los objetivos del Año Internacional de la Astronomía 2009 de cara a la equiparación de género, y concretamente sobre el proyecto _Ella es una Astrónoma_ que Francesca coordina. Y para terminar, un estimulante, y como siempre, único, reportaje a pie de calle de nuestro Reportero Urbanita acerca de mujeres en la ciencia. No os lo perdais, porque se realizará, en directo, un doble cambio de sexo en el estudio, algo que no creemos que se haya hecho jamás antes en radio.

A Través del Universo – Memoria de Acceso Aleatorio

Después del programa dedicado postumamente a Jesús Tejederas Dorado, Emilio García y Pablo Santos nos traen un programa un poco diferente, sin entrevista, y sin hablar de astrofísica, o lo que es lo mismo, un nuevo capítulo de El hombre y el cosmos. O más propiamente dicho en esta ocasión, La mujer y el cosmos. En esta ocasión vamos a hacer un repaso de la historia de cuatro de las mujeres más importantes en la historia de la ciencia, de la mano de Matilde Barón, que aparte de ser directora de la Estación Experimental del Zaidín, centro del CSIC, es una estudiosa de la historia de la ciencia. Las mujeres cuya historia iremos conociendo serán cuatro: la abadesa y científico Hildegard von Bingen, la biofísica y cristalógrafa Rosalind Franklin, la bióloga Barbara McClintock, y la neuróloga Rita Levi Montalcini.
