This week on Dear Science, our expert Professor Allan Blackman chatted to us about the new largest known prime number, Carl Djerassi's birthday, and recycling gold from e-waste. 

This week on the Tuesday Wire...  For Dear Science this week, our expert Doctor Allan Blackman chatted to us about the largest known prime number, Carl Djerassi, and recycling e-waste. In our weekly catchup with the National Party, News and Editorial Director, Joel, spoke to MP Katie Nimon about Christchurch becoming the first city in the country to sanction Israel, and the rest worker's rally, which was attended by thousands. They spoke to the Assistant Secretary for the Public Service Association, Fleur Fitzsimons, about the recent workers' strikes. They also spoke to the National Chair for the Palestine Solidarity Network Aotearoa, John Minto, about Christchurch sanctioning Israel. And finally, they spoke to Senior Lecturer in Criminology in the School of Social and Cultural Studies at the Victoria University of Wellington, Lynzi Armstrong, about a study into sex work in New Zealand compared to Scotland and Ireland.

It was in the early 1950sThe 28 year old pharmaceutical chemist Created something That would change the very fabric of our society . His name was Carl Djerassi. He was a Bulgarian]American who led a team that came up with an oral contraceptive that became known – and is still known today – as simply The Pill . Djerassi has been dubbed “the father of The Pill.” Djerassi reveals more about his work in this 1992 interview.

Climate change is one of the most important challenges to humanity, says chemist and science enthusiast Bassam Shakhashiri. We invite you to share your thoughts on the issue. Plus, Bassam shares science experiments for Halloween and honors Carl Djerassi.

We hear about the age of discovery of hormones and antibiotics, from the 1930s to the 1950s. Russell Marker left Penn State to find a plant from which to synthesize progesterone, so we learn about the trials and tribulations of the Mexican firm Syntex. Carl Djerassi joined Syntex and invented norethindrone. We learn of more fungal- and bacterial-based antibiotics, from streptomycin to tetracyclines, vancomycin, and methicillin--and what MRSA is.Support the show Support my podcast at https://www.patreon.com/thehistoryofchemistry Tell me how your life relates to chemistry!

In this episode, we talk with the multi-talented Jenny Rohn about her journey zig-zagging from academia to a biotech-startup, to science publishing and then back into academia.She tells us about her unconventional path and how she decided to go to a start-up and then come back to academic researchShe made long, agonizing lists about pros and cons of leaving or staying in academiaThis period of indecision led her to start writing novelsJenny admits that it was not easy to get back on to an academic pathShe warns people against giving negative advise and she always tries to be honest, but positive feedbackJenny says that In the ‘old days' there used to be a myth that there was only one way to do science. She says that somewhere in the ‘90s there was a shift but it took a while for the old-guard to notice.“Do not ever turn away from an opportunity to network. You need to get out and talk to people”She tells us how she came up with the idea of ‘lab-lit' and recommends some of her favourites“If you want to be a writer… you need to write a lot and read a lot”Jenny shares her thoughts about the place of narrative in scientific writing She mentioned these labs, resources and lab-lit authorsUniversity College London (UCL) : https://www.ucl.ac.uk/The Lab Lit website : http://lablit.com/Science is Vital : https://scienceisvital.org.uk/Jenny's blog ‘Mind The Gap' : https://occamstypewriter.org/mindthegap/White Coats At Dawn on the Cosmic Shambles network : https://cosmicshambles.com/words/blogs/jennyrohnHer first novel ‘Experimental Heart' : https://jennyrohn.com/exheartHer second novel ‘The Honest Look' : https://jennyrohn.com/honestlookHer third novel ‘Cat Zero' : https://jennyrohn.com/catzeroBarbara Kingsolver : http://barbarakingsolver.net/books/Carl Djerassi : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_DjerassiAllegra Goodman : https://allegragoodman.com/John William Waterhouse : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_William_WaterhouseTo find out more about Jenny visit her website or follow her on Twitterhttps://jennyrohn.com/https://twitter.com/jennyrohnOrcid : https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8766-6056https://www.instagram.com/jennifer.rohn.3/To find out more about Renaud : Twitter : https://twitter.com/LePourpre LinkedIn : https://www.linkedin.com/in/renaudpourpre/ To find out more about Jonathan : Twitter : https://twitter.com/Epigenetique LinkedIn : https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathanweitzman/%20 To learn more about the soundtrack :Music by Amaria - Lovely Swindlerhttps://soundcloud.com/amariamusique/https://twitter.com/amariamusique

On September 8, SHACK15 hosted the internationally recognized choreographer and the first black female choreographer to make works for the New York City Ballet, Sidra Bell, who was also a 2022 Djerassi Artist In Residence, in conversation with Alexander Djerassi, the program's acting director, as well as Kristine Elliot, a former soloist of the American Ballet Theater. Sidra Bell's career has spanned over 20 years and her choreography has been seen throughout the United States, Europe and Asia. She has created over 100 works, notably for BODYTRAFFIC, Ailey II, The Juilliard School, the Boston Conservatory at Berklee College, among many others. The Djerassi Resident Artists Program was founded by the late Dr. Carl Djerassi, the father of the birth control pill. Located in Woodside, California, the program sits on a 600-acre ranch established in a land trust for the program which is recognized internationally for its pre-eminence as an artist residency, and has provided over 2,500 artists with the gift of time and space to create since 1979.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Carl Djerassi (1923–2014), published by Gavin on November 29, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Carl Djerassi helped invent the synthetic hormone norethindrone, one of the 500 most important medicines (actually top 50 by prescription count). A large supply is a basic requirement of every health system in the world. Norethindrone is important for two reasons. First, it treats menstrual disorders and endometriosis, together 0.3% of the global burden of disease. More famously, it was a component of The Pill. People mix up the timelines, which is why he is sometimes called the 'Father of the Pill'. But "neither Djerassi nor the company he works for, Syntex, had any interest in testing it as a contraceptive" and it was only used for birth control 12 years after. As usual in industrial chemistry, Djerassi got no royalties from the blockbuster medicine he helped develop - but, surprise ending! - he bought cheap shares in Syntex and got rich when it became one of the most important medicines in history for two reasons. He also synthesized the third-ever practical antihistamine, and applied new instruments in 1,200 papers on the structure of many important steroids. He also worked on one of the first AI programs to do useful work in science. Achievements Epistemic status: little better than a guess. Not many inventions are fully counterfactual; most simple, massively profitable things which get invented would have been invented by someone else a bit later. So the appropriate unit for lauding inventors is years saved. And if I put a number on that I'd just be making it up. Here are the numbers I made up: About 4 million US users, so maybe up to 94 million world users at present. No sense of the endometriosis / contraception split. Call it 600 million users, 10% endometriosis use case. For menstrual disorders: on the market 65 years and counting. Counterfactual: on the market 3 years before the next oral progestogen was. It was the first practical oral progestogen, so we should compare to the injectable alternatives About 1/6 of Americans hate needles so much that they refuse treatment. Attrition and missed doses for needle treatments is higher than pill treatments. Endometriosis is about 0.25 - 0.35 QALY loss. So if it's 30% effective, around $30 / QALY, an amazing deal. For easy contraception: on the market 59 years and counting. The big gains (besides autonomy) are averting unintended pregnancies, abortions, and pregnancy-related deaths. Modern cost-effectiveness in Ethiopia is $96 / QALY. There's probably some additive effect for endometriosis sufferers (who would want contraception anyway). A full account would guess the Pill's effect on the sexual revolution and cultural attitudes toward women. But I've reached my limit. (You might also consider the role of the Pill in the ongoing decline of church authority: "1980: In spite of the Pope's ruling against the Pill and birth control, almost 80% of American Catholic women use contraceptives, and only 29% of American priests believe it is intrinsically immoral.") How many years did he bring the invention forward? Call it 5. Then split the credit three ways with Luis Miramontes and George Rosenkranz. So (largely made-up numbers) it looks like millions of QALYs for the treatment overall, and tens of thousands counterfactually for Djerassi. Artist After surviving cancer, he decided to become a writer. I was very depressed, and for the first time thought about mortality. Strangely enough I had not thought about death before... I realized that who knows how long I would live? In cancer they always talk about five years: if one can survive five years then presumably the cancer had been extirpated. And I thought: gee, had I known five years earlier that I would come down with cancer, would I have led a different life during these...

In 1951, in a lab in Mexico City, Austrian chemist Dr Carl Djerassi created a synthetic hormone from wild yams. It would go on to become the Pill's active ingredient. Rachel Naylor brings together archive interviews with Dr Djerassi. PHOTO: Carl Djerassi in 1992 (BBC Copyright)

Carl Djerassi wird zum falschen Zeitpunkt in Österreich geboren. Nachdem „Anschluss“ Österreichs and Hitler-Deutschland flüchtet er als 16-jähriger Teenager in die USA. Dort gelingt ihm ein wissenschaftlicher Durchbruch, der ihn weltberühmt macht. Carl Djerassi gilt als Vater der Anti-Baby-Pille. Die Pille wird Ende der 60er Jahre zum Symbol einer neuen Frauengeneration und steht im Zentrum einer gesellschaftlichen Debatte, die die Welt nachhaltig verändert. Die Geschichte eines Mannes mit mindestens drei Leben, der mit seiner Entdeckung vieles umwälzte und auch über die moderne Reproduktionsmedizin einiges zu sagen hatte.

Lange waren Frauen ihrer Fruchtbarkeit schutzlos ausgeliefert, gebaren viele Kinder, die sie durchbringen mussten, Verhütung war ein Hexenwerk. Im alten Griechenland versuchten sie Schwangerschaften mit Zäpfchen aus Krokodilkot zu verhindern, später glaubte man, Sperma durch Niesen loszuwerden, es folgten fragliche Vaginalbehandlungen mit giftigen Substanzen und gefährliche Abtreibungen. Dann wurde die Pille erfunden. Ein Luxus. Als das Hormonpräparat von Carl Djerassi 1961 den deutschen Markt eroberte, bedeutete das für viele eine Befreiung, mehr Selbstbestimmung. In den Jahrzehnten danach wurde es zu DEM Verhütungsmittel schlechthin. Erst in den vergangenen Jahren häuft sich Kritik, Frauen berichten von Nebenwirkungen wie Übelkeit, Migräne und Libidoverlust. Eine dänische Studie sieht einen Zusammenhang zwischen hormoneller Verhütung und Depressionen bis hin zum Suizid. In der aktuellen Folge des "Gyncast" geht es umfassend um die Pille. Wie genau wirkt sie im Körper, kann sie wirklich Akne verhindern und beeinflusst sie unser Trinkwasser? Wie errechnet sich der Pearl-Index und weshalb wählen wir andere Partner*innen, wenn wir unter ihrem Einfluss stehen? Die Tagesspiegel-Redakteurinnen Esther Kogelboom und Julia Prosinger besprechen mit Chefärztin Dr. Mandy Mangler für welche Frau sich das Hormonpräparat eignet und erzählen von eigenen Erfahrungen mit dem Verhütungsmittel. Außerdem ergründen sie, warum es immer noch keine Pille für den Mann gibt und ein selbstgestricktes Accessoire Verhütung künftig zur Männersache machen könnte. Produktion: Markus Lücker

Die Anti-Baby-Pille hat die moderne Gesellschaft auf den Kopf gestellt. Dem Chemiker Carl Djerassi gelang es, den Grundstoff für das Verhütungsmittel in Pillenform zu entwickeln.

As Helen MacDonald's "H is for Hawk" secures 2014's Book of the Year at the Costa Awards, a paper appears describing the hunting tactics of the Northern Goshawk, quite literally, from a birds' eye view. Suzanne Amador Kane of Haverford College in the US describes her work analyzing footage from tiny cameras mounted on the head of the predatory raptor. The Planck Consortium releases yet more findings from the very beginning of the universe. A new age for the very first stars confirms our best models of the universe. But analysis of the dust in our own galaxy edges out the possibility that last year's BICEP2 announcement did in fact represent evidence of inflation and the first observed primordial gravitational waves. And in the last two weeks, two giants of the twentieth century passed away. Science writer Philip Ball shares his thoughts on the lives of Carl Djerassi, father (he preferred mother) of the contraceptive pill, and Charles Townes, known as father of the Laser. Producer Alex Mansfield.

Professor Carl Djerassi discussed his autobiography From the Pill to the Pen with Professor Martin Rees, Baron Rees of Ludlow, OM FRS (Astronomer Royal and Former Head of the Royal Society) on Monday 3 November 2014 in Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge.

Falácia de Carl Djerassi

Cálculo - Peça em dois actos de Carl Djerassi, tradução de Mário Montenegro

Die sogenannte Anti-Baby-Pille hat die moderne Gesellschaft auf den Kopf gestellt - obwohl ihr das selbst überhaupt nicht geheuer war. Dem Chemiker Carl Djerassi, geboren am 29. Oktober 1923, war es gelungen, den Grundstoff für das Verhütungsmittel in Pillenform zu entwickeln.

Carl Djerassi is known as the father of the birth control pill, developer of insect controls and antihistamines, founder of biomedical companies, educator, and internationally bestselling novelist. (January 14, 2009)

Carl Djerassi was born in Vienna to an Austrian mother and Bulgarian father. Both parents were involved in the medical profession and, growing up surrounded by medical paraphernalia, he assumed that he would become a doctor. For the first four years of his schooling in Austria, he attended a girls' school as the boys school was full. He says "women are much more important than men in my life. I mean, I enjoyed it, I'm not complaining at all!" He didn't start studying science until his mid-teens and the outbreak of war meant a move to America, where he attended a pre-medical course at college. He soon became interested in organic chemistry and focussed on this subject for his PhD. Whilst working at a pharmaceutical company he was involved in two important discoveries. The synthesis of cortisone from plant material was, at that time, the most competitive and difficult project amongst chemists. Cortisone was considered a wonder drug in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, inflammation and eczema. The other discovery was the creation of a progesterone that could be orally active - aimed at treating menstrual disorders and infertility. It was realised that it could be used as a contraceptive but, as Carl says: "in the 1950s contraception was not high on the priority list. Pharmaceutical companies, with one exception, were not interested in that field. The population explosion and these concepts did not come about until 10 years later". It wasn't until 1960 that it was approved by the FDA as a contraceptive and became the Pill. Carl spent the next few years working in research and universities. He has also published five novels, three plays, a book of short stories, an autobiography and a memoir and is still writing. He describes a lot of his work as science in fiction - not science fiction - which explores aspects of scientific behaviour and of scientific facts. As he says, "Disguising them in the cloak of fiction, it is possible to illustrate ethical dilemmas that frequently are not raised for reasons of discretion, embarrassment, or fear of retribution".[Taken from the original programme material for this archive edition of Desert Island Discs]Favourite track: Songs on the Death of Children by Gustav Mahler Book: Collected poetry and prose by Wallace Stevens Luxury: A solar powered computer with a secret compartment containing a white powder
