Podcasts about crispr babies

The world's first CRISPR babies are now toddlers. Now, nearly four years since the super-controversial experiment was announced, scientists in China want to set up a healthcare institute specifically to look after the three children. The team examines the ethics of it all.Humans thrive at particular temperatures, and that's why we live where we live. But these areas of optimal climate are shrinking because of climate change. As we're on course to hit 2.7 degrees of warming by the end of the century, the team finds out what will happen to future populations. And with the UN Ocean Conference taking place, we hear a clip of Sounds of the Ocean by composer Joshua Sam Miller, a piece where the lead singer is a whale!Poo transplants are being used to cure irritable bowel syndrome. The team discusses the success of a new trial which used the poop of a single, healthy athletic man - a super-pooer, basically - to introduce a healthy mix of gut microbes into those with the condition.Rogue planets, roaming through space without a star of their own, may still be able to host life. Even without the heat of their own Sun, the team explains how there is still a way that life could thrive.We're in the middle of the biggest outbreak of monkeypox ever. With cases spreading fast, the team asks why the disease isn't killing anyone yet, and they find out how big this outbreak could become.On the pod are Rowan Hooper, Penny Sarchet, Michael Le Page, Alice Klein, Leah Crane and James Dinneen.

On this week's Tech Nation, Moira speaks with anthropologist EBEN KIRKSEY, a professor of anthropology at Deakin University in Melbourne. He's look at the societal and ethical implications of CRISPR – and not just hypothetically. He traveled to China, with an eye to understanding the circumstance of the three CRISPR babies known to exist. His book is “The Mutant Project: Inside the Global Race to Genetically Modify Humans”. Then Tech Nation Health Chief Correspondent Dr. Daniel Kraft gives us a quick primer on antibodies and how we use them as therapy.

First, we discuss why it's so hard to predict FDA decisions, and why the latest big deal in biotech left investors cold. Then, STAT Washington correspondent Nicholas Florko joins us for a dive into the thousands of emails from Anthony Fauci made public this week, complete with a top-five countdown of messages both impactful and absurd. Finally, longtime Associated Press medical reporter Marilynn Marchione retired last week, and she calls in to talk about the biggest stories of her career.

This week's Brainy Lecture considers Final Cut Pro for genes with the CRISPR gene splicing technology. We look at how it works and how it may help humanity. We spot the first misuse of the technology was well.We welcome back our Songs under the Microscope with a special misheard lyrics edition.Stand by your shallots as this week we are giving our kingdom for a red wine sauce.In Literally the Last Section we  finally tackle 50 Shades of Grey and we compare and contrast it to Harry Potter. This review was researched by a light perusal through the pages and a heavy application of snark. If you have complaints please forward them to inner_goddess@frenziedandsustained.com 

Embryonenforschung, Gentests, CRISPR-Babies - ständig kommen neue Schlagwörter dazu, aber die großen Grundfragen bleiben gleich: Wie umgehen mit genetischem Wissen und gentechnischen Möglichkeiten? Die Biologin und Bioethikerin Regine Kollek setzt sich seit Jahrzehnten kritisch mit diesen Fragen auseinander.

We've talked about genetic engineering before, but when we hit on Dr. He Jiankui and his genetically modified infants, we may have missed something. After talking with a few people it seemed we needed an update to Episode 4 - Genetic Engineering. Ethical questions involve us all, and understanding where science stands on these issues is more important now than possibly ever before. Join hosts Shanti and Danny as we welcome someone who’s been featured in Popular Mechanic magazine, participated in multiple extreme sports, founded the non-profit organization Crossing Lines, oh and she holds a Doctorate in Cell and Molecular Biology and Biochemistry, Dr. Sonya Iverson. Tune in as we all discuss the ethics and questions surrounding this mysterious testing.ReferencesZhou, M., et. al.; CCR5 is a Suppressor for Cortical Plasticity and Hippocampal Learning and Memory. eLife Neuroscience. 20-Dec-2016.

The old way of doing capitalism is about making money in the short term, and that way of thinking has caused a lot of destruction. But some venture funds are taking a new approach and deploying capital in a way that is net beneficial for society in the long term. So, how do we leverage this new kind of conscious capitalism to support the biotech companies that are making the world a better, more sustainable place?Arvind Gupta is a Partner and at Mayfield Fund, a venture capital firm that operates under a framework of conscious capitalism. Arvind is also the Founder and Venture Advisor at IndieBio, the world's largest biotech accelerator, where he invested in 136 companies in five years and grew a portfolio worth $3.2B. Arvind has been a guest lecturer at UCSF, MIT and Harvard, and he is the coauthor of the forthcoming book, Decoding the World: A Roadmap for the Questioner.Today, Arvind joins us to share his mission to help scientists create companies, explaining why access to equity is more important than capital and what we can do to address the trending economic inequality. He discusses the connection between social revolution and new technologies, introducing us to the idea of conscious capitalism as a way to make an impact AND create better returns. Listen in for insight around the challenges of scaling a bio-related startup and learn how Arvind is working to deploy the capital necessary to build the technology that will save the world. Arvind's work as the founder of IndieBioHelp scientists become entrepreneurs136 companies valued at $3.2B The connection between revolutions and new technologySocial shift demands new way of doing thingsGen Z, millennials willing to pay to affect change Arvind's philosophy on the way we view animalsSee as living thing or disposable productReflects way we treat each other The benefits of replacing meat with lab-grown foodSubtract moral cost of meatRemove carbon from supply chain Why Arvind sees COVID as the Great AcceleratorSpeeding up every trendIncludes biology, neo-feudalism What we can do to correct neo-feudalismReinvent education to create mobilityCreate jobs that provide access to equity How Arvind is engaging in conscious capitalismDeploy capital for things feel important + make moneyCreate better returns by changing way things done Arvind's insight on the idea of designed humansAbility to make compounds by delivering RNA/DNA (but not keep)Editing DNA too dangerous for future generations What's different about funding a bio-related startupTech is alive under hood and living things don't always behaveChallenge to ensure production platforms repeatable at scale What inspired Arvind's transition to MayfieldBio companies need support in series A/B for movement to growLearn from world-class team devoted to conscious capitalism Connect with ArvindIndieBio  https://indiebio.co/Mayfield Fund https://www.mayfield.com/Arvind on Twitter https://twitter.com/arvndgpta ResourcesArvind on Boost VC Podcast EP034 https://theboostvcpodcast.simplecast.com/episodes/f2db5d9c-d3c4f571Decoding the World: A Roadmap for the Questioner by Po Bronson and Arvind Gupta https://www.amazon.com/Decoding-World-Questioner-Po-Bronson/dp/1538734311IDEO https://www.ideo.com/Memphis Meats https://www.memphismeats.com/Finless Foods https://finlessfoods.com/New Age Meats https://www.newagemeats.com/George Church's Woolly Mammoth Revival https://reviverestore.org/projects/woolly-mammoth/Khan Lab School https://www.khanlabschool.org/Navin Chaddha's Post on Conscious Capitalism https://www.mayfield.com/conscious-capital/‘China's CRISPR Babies' in the MIT Technology Review https://www.technologyreview.com/2019/12/03/131752/chinas-crispr-babies-read-exclusive-excerpts-he-jiankui-paper/The Martian by Andy Weir https://www.amazon.com/Martian-Andy-Weir/dp/0553418025Dan Carlin's Hardcore History https://www.dancarlin.com/Yik Yak https://www.linkedin.com/company/yik-yak-inc-Tim Chang at Mayfield https://www.mayfield.com/team-member/tim-chang/Ursheet Parikh at Mayfield https://www.mayfield.com/team-member/ursheet-parikh/Mammoth Biosciences https://mammoth.bio/ Connect with Boost VCBoost VC Website https://www.boost.vc/Boost VC on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/boostvc/Boost VC on Twitter https://twitter.com/BoostVCBoost VC on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/boost_vc/

Over a year ago, Chinese scientist Dr. He Jianku announced the birth of the first two genetically modified human babies. Now, we return to this story with new discoveries about the details of the study and the fate of the senior scientist. Main article:https://www.technologyreview.com/s/614764/chinas-crispr-babies-read-exclusive-excerpts-he-jiankui-paper/

È passato un anno da quando il biologo cinese He Jiankui fece parlare di sé il mondo intero. Fu lui il protagonista del controverso esperimento sulle "CRISPR babies"

Extracts from unpublished papers on the methods used by a Chinese scientist to genetically modify the embryos of two girls reveal a series of potentially dangerous problems with the procedure and ethical shortcomings. We look at the mechanism behind the formation of our facial features and how this is linked to our evolution, scrutinise the impact of current emissions on global climates and see why lithium, used in batteries and medicines, is now a potentially widespread pollutant. 66 million years ago, a huge asteroid hit the earth, wiping out most of the dinosaurs that roamed the land. It would still be tens of millions of years before the first humans appeared - but what if those dinosaurs hadn’t died out? Would we ever have evolved? CrowdScience listener Sunil was struck by this thought as he passed a Jurassic fossil site: if dinosaurs were still around, would I be here now? We dive back into the past to see how our distant mammal ancestors managed to live alongside huge, fierce dinosaurs; and why the disappearance of those dinosaurs was great news for mammals. They invaded the spaces left behind, biodiversity flourished, and that led – eventually – to humans evolving. It looks like our existence depends on that big dinosaur extinction. But we explore a big ‘what if?’: if the asteroid hadn’t hit, could our primate ancestors still have found a niche – somewhere, somehow - to evolve into humans? Or would evolution have taken a radically different path: would dinosaurs have developed human levels of intelligence? Is highly intelligent life inevitable, if you give it long enough to develop? We look to modern day birds - descendants of certain small dinosaurs who survived the asteroid strike - to glean some clues.

The gene edited babies, Lulu and Nana, turn one. Laura Hercher says it feels like it’s been five years. Nathan says, “Happy Birthday.” Along with our genomics headline party this month, we also discuss a comment that came in from our last show which leads us to the question, can we discuss science without discussing politics? It’s Nathan, Laura and Theral for almost a full hour sifting through November’s news.

In Indien wurde ein Mann mit Hilfe eines ferngesteuerten Chirurgie-Roboters am Herzen operiert. Operationsroboter sind bereits etabliert - was aber ist mit autonomen OP-Robotern? Die CRISPR / Cas9 Gen-Editing Technik wurde weiterentwickelt: "Prime Editing" soll Forschern nun als präziseres Suchen-und-Ersetzen Werkzeug dienen. Währenddessen wird in Russland an Designer-Babies geforscht. Besteht Grund zur Sorge? Und schlussendlich ist das erste unbemannte Transportschiff ist auf hoher See geschwommen.

Imagine: You’re pregnant and your doctor offers you a DNA edit so your baby can avoid a terminal illness. Do you do it? That decision is coming sooner than you think. Turns out an expert professor on DNA-editing (who is also a Christian) had some early conversations with the Chinese scientist who shocked the world in 2018 by editing two real babies DNA. The trouble is, the Chinese scientist has some compelling moral reasoning for what he did: and he explains them on YouTube. What do we think of this? Plus we namecheck an amazing old-school sci-fi movie that imagines a DNA-based world... Can you guess? Links Sorry, Chris declined to provide a link to his DNA test results. (see privacy - ha!) MIT Technology Review broke the CRISPR Babies story. He Jiankui describe his work with gene editing babies in this YouTube video. The Atlantic provides a good summary of reactions within the scientific community. Blood tests for Downs Syndrome have had consequences its inventors did not foresee or intend. Some evidence suggests He’s gene-editing may have enhanced the babies’ brains too.

Another big week in politics is coming up as the President is making his way to Vietnam for the second summit with Kim Jong Un of North Korea. Still aiming for the goal of complete denuclearization, the president says he is in no rush as long as missile testing has stopped.  Ginger Gibson, political reporter for Reuters, joins us for this and the House vote to overturn Trump's emergency declaration.  Next, new research suggests that a controversial gene editing experiment to make twin girls in China resistant to HIV may have also altered their brains and enhanced their ability to learn and form memories. Lulu and Nana had their genes modified before birth using the CRISPR editing tool and this could possibly be one of the unintended consequences. Antonio Regalado, reporter for the MIT Technology Review, joins us for more on the CRISPR twins. Finally, emoji are having another moment.  As we use them more in our everyday communication, it's increasingly starting to show up as evidence in court. Between 2004 and 2019 there has been an exponential rise in emoji and emoticon references in US court opinions, the problem is that not everyone can always agree on what the emoji actually mean. Dami Lee, reporter at the Verge, joins us for emoji in court.  Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com

Scott and I talk about how he became an ant biologist, why he's so fascinated by evolution, and ways humans are guiding our own evolution – for example, through online dating, IVF, having children later, and more. Scott outlines the main arguments against the idea that humans are done evolving, and points out that we're not as special as we might think when it comes to avoiding evolution.

Zum Ende des Jahres werfen wir unseren gewohnten Sendungsplan über den Haufen, sprechen über Feedback und diskutieren über die Anwendung von CRISPR/CAS-9 auf menschliche Embryonen.

At the end of November 2018, Chinese scientist He Jiankui announced that he had genetically modified human embryos which were then brought to term. The resulting twin sisters appear to be healthy. But this experiment was not greeted with enthusiasm by the scientific community. The critique attacks every aspect of the experiment: the treatment’s medical necessity, the reasoning behind the treatment approach, the way it was conducted, the ethical implications, and it also wasn’t legal. Listen to the Full Conversation on Patreon! He Jiankui was aware that he was doing something the public and the scientific community would not agree with. In order to dampen the fall, He announced his experiments in a series of YouTube videos in which he also attempts an ethical justification. He addressed the public in this way before the scientific community could comment, to frame the following discussion in his favor. Possibly also to force Chinese authorities to act cautiously with the eyes of the world resting on He Jiankui. After an appearance at a conference in Hong Kong, He Jiankui went missing, and it still seems to be unclear where he is. Some news outlets reported the Dr. He was put under house arrest. In this episode, Bart Geurten (@BartGeurten) and I (Dennis Eckmeier, @DennisEckmeier) have a conversation about what we understand about what happened. (Recorded Dec 16th, 2018) What Happened? He Jiankui is a geneticist who works on genetic alteration of human embryos. In some countries, scientists can get permission to experiment on human embryos when the embryos are just a few cells big. Such embryos, however, may not be allowed to develop into full human beings. The goal of such experiments is, for example, to establish safer methods for gene therapies. The embryos are created through in-vitro-fertilization, an established practice for couples who are having trouble having healthy babies. Eggs and sperms are brought together outside the woman’s body, and the growing embryos can be tested for possible gene defects. Healthy embryos can then be implanted in the becoming mother’s womb. But He implanted genetically modified embryos in the womb of a woman, which the scientific community has many problems with. The two embryos have become babies and were born several months before the announcement. What exactly did He Jiankui try to achieve? He Jiankui wants to protect children of HIV infected parents from infection, AIDS, and social discrimination that comes with HIV infection. The medical community, however, does not agree that gene modification would be an appropriate method to accomplish this. There are numerous ways to protect yourself from infection with HIV by following simple rules of caution. He chose couples where the father is HIV positive, while the mother is not. To protect the mother, such couples can use in vitro fertilization, if they want a child. In the process of IVF, the HIV is removed. Was the treatment well designed? So there was no medical necessity for this treatment. But let’s say there would have been. To genetically protect the children from HIV, He Jiankui attempted to change a gene (CCR5) to a specific variant (delta32) that is believed to play a role in HIV resilience. But the scientific community agrees that they don’t know enough about the gene’s function. Genes code for proteins, and the same protein may play different roles in different bodily functions. Besides it’s implication in HIV resilience, the delta32 variant of CCR5 seems to be just as likely to increase vulnerability to influenza and the West Nile virus. There seems to be one study that even claims it might play a role in increasing cognitive ability. If the experiment worked, He may have introduced human enhancement which he himself says would be unethical. Or he may have put the girls at an increased risk to die from the flu. This means that this was a highly risky experiment and He may ...

In November, He Jiankui claimed that two genetically engineered children have been born. Did he really do it? And if so, what are the ramifications for the babies and for the field?

Amanda, Nora, and Rebecca discuss cuttlefish cuteness and camouflage abilities, smart beetles, and the reported birth of gene-edited babies.

The boys end up in the jungle with varying degrees of immunological protection and Chris subdues a jungle cat. So what are the arguments against vaccination and are they warranted? They discuss arguments like better sanitation, Big Pharma conspiracies, aborted fetuses, autism, chemical preservatives and “too many, too soon”. In a surprising twist, the Catholic Church comes to their defence. Also: Jacob Meza sees a big difference in how young and old people view vaccines; the world's first genetically edited babies are here (maybe); and the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada recommends people with the disease up their dosage of vitamin D.   Vox pop by Jacob Meza of the So It Is Told podcast.   Jingle by Joseph Hackl.   Additional music by Seth Donnelly and Kevin MacLeod.   Theme music: "Troll of the Mountain Swing" by the Underscore Orkestra.   To contribute to The Body of Evidence, go to our Patreon page at: http://www.patreon.com/thebodyofevidence/.   Patrons get a bonus show on Patreon called “Digressions”!

What’s up listeners?!  This episode we talk about the new scandal regarding the CRISPR babies.  If you haven’t heard about it, you can read the article we discussed right here.  There are also about a million other articles about it too. I won’t send out individual links for those, you’ll have to do your own…

A Chinese scientist experiments on unborn children, stirring international controversy. Robin only guesses three of five life-prolonging habits correctly (can you do better?). Canadians, as always, are doing life better than people in the U.S. In fact, they live, on average, THREE YEARS longer than us. And more kids are expected to die of the measles due to shrinking vaccination rates.This week's health news:https://futurism.com/chinese-government-crispr-baby-experimentshttps://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/wellness/want-to-live-a-longer-life-research-says-you-should-do-these-five-things/2018/08/20/f0838e50-9fd2-11e8-83d2-70203b8d7b44_story.html?utm_term=.73bb39d44431https://www.yahoo.com/news/us-life-expectancy-drops-again-overdoses-climb-055720445.htmlhttps://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/measles-cases-30-percent-worldwide-who-says-n941811

This week, Chris digs into the controversy over the claim of babies born with genes edited by a rogue scientist using CRISPR technology; and Stu answers the question of why the side of the Moon facing us has so many craters with the Earth in the way.

This episode is the first of a shortcast format. A shortcast is a shorter episode exploring topics that I have been pondering.Since the world is in an uproar about the gene editing / CRISPR baby thing I thought I would zoom out a bit and look at the experiment from a larger, more transhumanist lens.    For those unfamiliar with the story here is an article from WiredThose that would rather read can find a transcript of the episode here Artwork by Bratislav Milenkovic Recorded in Christchurch, New Zealand.

In this episode of Physical Attraction, we'll talk about the breaking news surrounding the birth of the world's first genetically modified CRISPR baby.  "He Jiankui, the Chinese scientist who claims to have helped produce the first people born with edited genomes — twin girls — appeared today at a gene-editing summit in Hong Kong to explain his experiment. He gave his talk amid threats of legal action and mounting questions, from the scientific community and beyond, about the ethics of his work and the way in which he released the results."  - Nature Magazine. This experiment, which - if confirmed - marks the first instance where a genetically modified human was born - may well have crossed the Rubicon and opened Pandora's Box on behalf of humanity, to mix metaphors. An ethical and scientific storm is already brewing. We'll describe and discuss the experiment, and what it might mean, and then brief you on the future of the show. www.physicspodcast.com @physicspod
