Du kender helt sikkert Johan Olsen som forsanger i Magtens Korridorer, hertil spiller han teater, arbejder som radiovært, og han har også udgivet flere bøger. Men som om det ikke var nok, så er Johan Olsen også forsker. Nærmere bestemt er han ansat som adjunkt på Biomolecular Science ved afdelingen Structural Biology and NMR Laboratory ved Københavns Universitet. Men hvad er det egentligt hele Danmarks Johan Olsen forsker i, når han ikke underholder på scenen eller formidler sin viden og tanker i radiostudiet og gennem sine bøger? Hvordan skruer han en hverdag sammen, hvor han kan have så mange forskellige hatte på? Og hvad er det fedeste ved at være både musikstjerne og kæmpe biologi-nørd? Medvirkende: Johan Olsen. Værter: Peter Løhde & Andrew Davidson.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, we speak with Nawal Panjwani about her journey that spans engineering, medicine, and innovation.

That this did not occur presents a puzzle…” Davenport, S. (2018). Falling rates of marijuana dependence among heavy users. Drug and Alcohol Dependence, 191, 52–55.http://doi.org/10.1016/j.drugalcdep.2018.06.025NEXTThe Surprising Reach of FDA Regulation of Cannabis, Even After Descheduling.O'Connor SM, et al. Am Univ Law Rev. 2019.University of Washington School of Law.University of Missouri School of Law.CitationAm Univ Law Rev. 2019;68(3):823-925.Cannabis producers appear to assume that descheduling would facilitate a robust market in cannabis-based edibles and dietary supplements. In fact, neither of these things is true. If cannabis were descheduled, the FDA's complex and comprehensive regulatory framework governing foods, drugs, and dietary supplements would preclude much of this anticipated commerce. For example, any medical claims about cannabis would require the seller to complete the rigorous new drug approval process, the cost of which will be prohibitive for most current traditional providers.NEXTScience/Human: Cannabis use is associated with a lower probability of obesity in healthy peopleIn a representative group for the US population, who were followed for 3 years cannabis use was associated with a lower increase of BMI (body mass index). Researchers of the Department of Family Medicine of Michigan State University in East Lansing, USA, published their research in the International Journal of Epidemiology. Adults completed computer-assisted personal interviews on cannabis use, body weight and height at Waves 1 (2001-2002) and 2 (2004-2005).At wave 2, 77% of the participants never used cannabis, 18% had discontinued use, 3% were initiates and 2% were persistent users. Estimated BMI change over 3 years shows an increase for all subgroups. Compared with never-users, there was an inverse association of cannabis use with obesity and body mass index.NEXTScience: Degradation of THC over a course of 4 years under different storage conditionsResearchers of the Laboratory of Environmental Hygiene and Forensic Toxicology of the DMPO Department in Venice, Italy, investigated the degradation of THC in herbal and resin materials containing different initial concentrations of THC. Four representative samples were collected from each study material and were maintained for a prolonged time (four years) under different controlled storage conditions: (A) light and room temperature (22°C); (B) darkness and room temperature; (C) darkness and refrigeration (4 °C); (D) darkness and freezing (-20 °C)Almost 100% of THC was degraded after four years under conditions A and B (room temperature, light or dark). Data indicated that the storage temperature and light exposure had two different effects on the conversion of THC to CBN. Models were proposed which allow to predict the storage time, if unknown, and the initial content of THC, from the measurement of THC and CBN content at any time under storage condition A.Zamengo L, Bettin C, Badocco D, Di Marco V, Miolo G, Frison G.

[in press]Science/Human: Cannabis use mitigates inflammation associated with alcohol useIn a study with 66 regular alcohol drinkers concomitant cannabis use reduced the concentration of the pro-inflammatory mediator interleukin-6.

We are in the midst of a renaissance in the biological sciences, which is spurring the growth of brand new fields like functional and comparative genomics. These new fields are revealing novel insights into evolutionary biology, medicine, developmental biology and many other areas, transforming the way scientists look at life. Join the California Academy of Sciences to learn about genomics, hear about compelling current research, and explore the future of this rapidly advancing field. Katherine Pollard received her Ph.D. and M.A. from UC Berkeley Division of Biostatistics under the supervision of Mark van der Laan. Her research at Berkeley included developing computationally intensive statistical methods for analysis of microarray data with applications in cancer biology. After graduating, she did a postdoc at UC Berkeley with Sandrine Dudoit. She developed Bioconductor open source software packages for clustering and multiple hypothesis testing. In 2003, she began a comparative genomics NIH Postdoctoral Fellowship in the labs of David Haussler and Todd Lowe in the Center for Biomolecular Science & Engineering at UC Santa Cruz. She was part of the Chimpanzee Sequencing and Analysis Consortium that published the sequence of the Chimp Genome, and she used this sequence to identify the fastest evolving regions in the human genome. In 2005, she joined the faculty at the UC Davis Genome Center and Department of Statistics. She moved to UCSF in Fall 2008.
