POPULARITY
This week's session was truly remarkable. We had the honor of hosting the Salk Institute Harnessing Plants Initiative team comprised of some of the brightest minds working to mitigate climate change with perhaps the most genius idea since Jonas Salk's polio vaccine: harnessing the natural power of plants to rebalance our carbon cycle. The Harnessing Plants Initiative team includes:Wolfgang Busch, Ph.D.: Professor, Plant Molecular and Cellular Biology Laboratory, Hess Chair in Plant Science and Harnessing Plants Initiative Co-DirectorJoanne Chory, Ph.D.: Processor and Director, Plant Molecular and Cellular Biology Laboratory, Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator, Howard H. and Maryam R. Newman Chair in Plant Biology and Harnessing Plants Initiative Co-DirectorDave Lawrence, Ph.D.: Chairman of the Advisory Council of the Harnessing Plants Initiative, Chairman of Lawrence Energy Group LLC and Trustee on the Army War College Foundation Board following an extensive career of almost 30 years with ShellJoe Noel, Ph.D.: Professor and Director, Jack H. Skirball Center for Chemical Biology and Proteomics, Arthur and Julie Woodrow ChairTony Stiegler, Senior Director, Policy & Regulatory Affairs for the Harnessing Plants Initiative, former Partner at Colley Law Firm with an accomplished career dating to 1986 representing emerging technology companies, Fortune 500 companies and individualsThe HPI team took us through a presentation that can be found linked here. If you are as interested as we are and want to stay updated with their work, you may sign up for updates here. We can't thank the HPI team enough for their time and expertise! Our expert TPH crew provided today's opening act: Mike Bradley gave a market update on the one-year anniversary for negative prices for NYM WTI crude oil, Matt Portillo discussed recent Canadian legislation proposing a tax credit system for CCS development as well as a bill in the US to enhance the 45Q tax credit, and Craig Webster joined to cover Equinor and Shell's recent energy transition plans. We also had some really exciting news in Houston today - Bobby Tudor joined to discuss Exxon Mobil's proposal to build the largest CCUS project in the world in Houston's very own ship channel, an effort supported by the Greater Houston Partnership to position Houston as a leader in the energy transition. Finally, Colin Fenton shared a few slides on crude oil and CO2 emissions to prepare us for the discussion. We hope you find this session as inspiring and thought-provoking as we do. Imagine the possibilities if human ingenuity helped Nature be just two percent more efficient! Thanks again to the HPI team and thanks to you all!------------------------------------------------------------------------------Copyright 2021, Tudor, Pickering, Holt & Co.

In this episode, I converse with Varun Suresh, a Graduate Student in the Department of Biological Sciences at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research. Varun completed his BS and MS in Biotechnology from Mumbai University, graduating with high honours, and also worked as a Research Fellow in the Molecular and Cellular Biology Laboratory at the National Institute for Research in Reproductive Health. A developmental neuroscientist in training at TIFR under Prof. Shubha Tole's auspice, Varun and I touch on a diverse array of topics, right from his deep desire to serve in the defense forces to his serendepitious journey in science guided and supported by terrific mentors and peers, his groundbreaking research during the course of his doctoral studies, making science a more diverse and equitable place whilst encouraging an open and collaborative atmosphere, the great importance of fundamental research, interdisciplinarity and communicating science to the public, and many more things!!
Plants are amazing machines -- for millions of years, they've taken carbon dioxide out of the air and stored it underground, keeping a crucial check on the global climate. Plant geneticist Joanne Chory is working to amplify this special ability: with her colleagues at the Salk Plant Molecular and Cellular Biology Laboratory, she's creating plants that can store more carbon, deeper underground, for hundreds of years. Learn more about how these supercharged plants could help slow climate change. (This ambitious plan is a part of the Audacious Project, TED's initiative to inspire and fund global change.)
식물은 놀라운 기계입니다. 수백만 년 동안 식물들은 공기 중의 이산화탄소를 흡수하여 땅 속에 저장함으로써 기후 변화를 억제해 왔습니다. 식물유전학자인 조안 코리는 '솔크 식물 분자 및 세포생물학 연구소(Salk Plant Molecular and Cellular Biology Laboratory)'에서 동료들과 함께 식물의 억제력을 강화하는 방법을 연구하고 있습니다. 조안은 더 많은 탄소를 더 깊은 땅속에 수백 년간 저장할 수 있는 식물을 만들어냈습니다. 이 슈퍼 광합성 식물이 기후 변화를 둔화시키는 데 어떤 도움을 주는지 들어보세요. (이 야심찬 계획은 기후 변화 방지를 지원하는 TED의 Audacious Project의 일환입니다.)
As plantas são máquinas incríveis - por milhões de anos, elas tiraram o dióxido de carbono do ar e o armazenaram no subsolo, mantendo um controle crucial do clima global. A geneticista de plantas Joanne Chory está trabalhando para amplificar essa habilidade especial: com seus colegas do "Salk Plant Molecular and Cellular Biology Laboratory", ela está criando plantas que podem armazenar mais carbono, mais profundamente no subsolo, por centenas de anos. Saiba mais sobre como essas plantas superalimentadas podem ajudar a desacelerar a mudança climática.

Plants have evolved the capability to convert atmospheric CO2 into biopolymers and therefore represent distributed systems for carbon removal that are highly scalable. Wolfgang Busch, Ph.D., Associate Professor Plant Molecular and Cellular Biology Laboratory, Salk Institute, explains the possibilities of efficient carbon storage in plants.
