The idea of gene editing was once a thing of the future – but today it's saving the lives of people all over the world. CRISPR is a gene editing system that bacteria have been using for a billion years. When a virus attacks the bacteria, this system takes a ‘mug shot,' and wraps the virus into our code. If the same virus ever attacks again, your body now knows to ‘cut off' the virus before it can cause harm. But accompanied with 21st century tech, that's no longer all CRISPR can do. Scientists have since learned how to repurpose this system so we're not only killing off dangerous bacteria, but also cutting our own DNA, wherever we tell it to, to edit our genes. Is gene editing something we need to worry about? Some scientists think so. If we move too fast and over indulge in this technology, it's possible that we could be making permanent changes to the human species. But as of today, CRISPR is being used for good – editing genes in the people living with chronic diseases, helping patients around the world live healthy, normal lives. ---------------------------------------------------- About Walter Isaacson: Walter Isaacson is a renowned biographer, CEO of the Aspen Institute, and previously the chairman of CNN and managing editor of TIME magazine.

Chapter 1What is EinsteinIn Walter Isaacson's insightful biography, "Einstein," we journey through the enigmatic life of Albert Einstein, from his rebellious early years to his ascent as a titan of modern physics. Isaacson elegantly weaves Einstein's personal anecdotes with his professional milestones, exploring how his imaginative spirit not only redefined the laws of physics but also made him a global icon. The theme passionately highlights the interplay between creativity and scientific innovation, demonstrating how Einstein's intellectual bravery—questioning established norms and visualizing the mechanics of the universe in new ways—led to groundbreaking discoveries like the theory of relativity. Through intimate letters, personal struggles, and triumphs, Isaacson also touches on Einstein's humanitarian efforts, his roles in nuclear disarmament and civil rights, and his life as an outspoken pacifist, showing a full portrait of not just the scientist, but the man who believed in the beauty of creativity in contributing to a better world.Chapter 2 Meet the Writer of EinsteinWalter Isaacson, in his biography "Einstein: His Life and Universe," brilliantly employs a clear, accessible prose style that brings the complexities of Albert Einstein's scientific contributions and the nuances of his personal life into sharp relief. Isaacson's approach is methodical yet engaging, ensuring that readers, regardless of their scientific background, can grasp the concepts and significance of Einstein's work.Isaacison also excels in emotional depth. He delves into Einstein's relationships, struggles, and the ethical dilemmas he faced, using a narrative style that makes these aspects as compelling as his scientific achievements. The use of vivid anecdotes and quotes allows Isaacson to present Einstein not just as a physicist, but as a multifaceted individual whose emotions and personal conflicts contributed to his theories and worldview.Through meticulously chosen words and a balanced tone, Isaacson captures the poignancy of Einstein's life, making the reader empathize with his journey and understand the monumental impact of his contributions.Chapter 3 Deeper Understanding of EinsteinAlbert Einstein, primarily celebrated for his contributions to physics, including the theory of relativity (special and general), has exerted profound influence beyond the scientific domain, affecting literature, culture, and society in myriad ways. His impact has molded public perceptions of science, the role of the scientist, and the moral responsibilities entwined with scientific advancement. Influence on Literature and Art1. Modernist Literature: Einstein's theories challenged traditional notions of time and space, resonating with the modernist movement in literature and arts, which was already experimenting with nonlinear narratives and abstract structures. Writers such as Virginia Woolf and James Joyce incorporated these new physics concepts into their works to explore subjective perspectives and fragmented realities. For instance, Woolf's "Mrs. Dalloway" reflects on the relativity of time as experienced by its protagonists.2. Science Fiction: Einstein's relativity and his later involvement in nuclear physics (indirectly through E=mc²'s implication in nuclear energy) have fueled countless science fiction stories. Concepts like time travel, alternate dimensions, and advanced technology bases on relativistic physics have become staples in works by authors such as H.G. Wells and Isaac Asimov. Cultural Impact1. Iconic Status: Einstein's image, particularly his wild hair and distinct mustache, has become a cultural icon, symbolizing the quintessential "mad scientist". This image is not just pervasive in academic circles but widely recognized, from Halloween costumes to memes, reflecting his integration into...
This episode discusses Vell's excitement about his baby sister's double accomplishment of graduating from Mizzou and the surprise proposal. The Good Read for this episode is Einstein: His Life and Universe by Walter Isaacson How did his mind work? What made him a genius? Isaacson's biography shows how his scientific imagination sprang from the rebellious nature of his personality. His fascinating story is a testament to the connection between creativity and freedom. Based on newly released personal letters of Einstein, this book explores how an imaginative, impertinent patent clerk—a struggling father in a difficult marriage who couldn't get a teaching job or a doctorate—became the mind reader of the creator of the cosmos, the locksmith of the mysteries of the atom, and the universe. His success came from questioning conventional wisdom and marveling at mysteries that struck others as mundane. This led him to embrace a morality and politics based on respect for free minds, free spirits, and free individuals. These traits are just as vital for this new century of globalization, in which our success will depend on our creativity, as they were at the beginning of the last century when Einstein helped usher in the modern age. What's Popping in Vell's World consists of former NBA G-Leaguer Chance Comanche Admits Planning Homicide, Florida's Governor DeSantis' Influence Decision To Revise AP African American Studies, Harvard's first Black president has been under pressure to resign, and more.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the man who, in 1905, produced several papers that were to change the world of physics and whose name went on to become a byword for genius. This was Albert Einstein, then still a technical expert at a Swiss patent office, and that year of 1905 became known as his annus mirabilis ('miraculous year'). While Einstein came from outside the academic world, some such as Max Planck championed his theory of special relativity, his principle of mass-energy equivalence that followed, and his explanations of Brownian Motion and the photoelectric effect. Yet it was not until 1919, when a solar eclipse proved his theory that gravity would bend light, that Einstein became an international celebrity and developed into an almost mythical figure.

“It was impossible to expect a moral awakening from humankind itself, just like it was impossible to expect humans to lift off the earth by pulling up on their own hair. To achieve moral awakening required a force outside the human race.” Welcome back to another episode of Made You Think! In this long-awaited episode, we're covering The Three-Body Problem, a science fiction trilogy by Liu Cixin. Find out what happens when a military group successfully sends signals into space in hopes of making contact with aliens. We cover a wide range of topics including: The difference bewteen exponential and linear cultures Why anything in the "dark forest" should be considered a threat Using hibernation as a form of time traveling Escapism and the need to flee earth to survive The fragility of being a human and remaining healthy And much more. Please enjoy, and make sure to follow Nat, Neil, and Adil on Twitter and share your thoughts on the episode.

Spoiler alert: If you haven't read the book and don't want anything given away, we recommend you come back to this episode later to avoid learning plot twists and key information. (6:13) One of the quirks of the alien species is that they are not able to deceive each other. We also talk about the difference between exponential vs. linear culture. (10:16) The books jump through many genres from a mystery thriller to classic adventure. We provide some of the context of the book and ponder on how other civilizations would view humans in their perspective. (13:37) Nat, Neil, and Adil share their reactions on the end of the story and the inevitable death that everybody faces. (15:12) Preserving information and monuments over time. There are still stone engravings that hold up today, but even things like paper and hard drives aren't able to withstand the test of time. (19:15) This year, The Three-Body Problem is hitting Netflix as a TV series! We talk about what the show may look like and how they will portray the different dimensions. (22:52) A lot can change in just a short time. How would humanity react if we found out today that in a few hundred years, humanity would be destroyed by a group of powerful aliens? (24:12) How the book presented the idea of hibernation and using someone's skills later as opposed to the current moment. In a way, it's like time traveling. (28:58) Escapism, the space cities, and how easy it is to be poisoned by your own environment. (32:53) Wallfacers and other interesting ideas that the author incorporated into the storyline. The series was very interesting for its many different paradoxes and sociological concepts. (38:30) There's the paradox that we have so much we can potentially solve with our technological advancements, but at the same time, do we really have all of the of smaller components and variables of it figured out? (41:15) The fragility of being human and the importance of micronutrients to our functioning that we may or may not realize. (47:21) The series is based on the author's back story in the cultural revolution in China. While written in 2007, the books weren't translated into English until 2014 where some parts of the story got slightly changed or adapted. (52:14) Will there be substantial changes in how we understand and view the universe in the next century, and how will these shift our perception of these novels? (1:00:01) There's a sense in today's world that we've simply figured everything out, while we arguably have a lot more yet to discover. (1:01:12) The Dark Forest theory. The idea that there are potentially many alien civilizations that exist, and other intelligent lives we come across would presumably be seen as a threat. (1:11:30) Nat, Neil, and Adil share their thoughts on which of the books in the trilogy was their favorite. (1:15:35) That's a wrap! Next up, we're reading The Courage to Be Disliked.

Author Walter Isaacson discusses his recent book "The Code Breaker: Jennifer Doudna, Gene Editing, and the Future of the Human Race", a gripping account of how Nobel Prize winner Jennifer Doudna and her colleagues launched a revolution that will allow us to cure diseases, fend off viruses, and have healthier babies. Bestselling author of "Steve Jobs" (2011), "Einstein: His Life and Universe" (2007) and more, Walter Isaacson has established himself as the biographer of creativity, innovation, and genius. Einstein was the genius of the revolution in physics, and Steve Jobs was the genius of the revolution in digital technology. We are now on the cusp of a third revolution in science, a revolution in biochemistry that is capable of curing diseases, fending off viruses, and improving the Human species itself. The genius at the center of his newest book "The Code Breaker" is American biochemist Jennifer Doudna, who is considered one of the prime inventors of CRISPR, a system that can edit DNA. Moderated by Leigh Gallagher. Visit http://g.co/TalksAtGoogle/CodeBreaker to watch the video.
Walter Isaacson, talks about his new book The Code Breaker. Walter is a professor of history at Tulane, has been the CEO of the Aspen Institute, where he is now a Distinguished Fellow, the chairman of CNN, and the editor of TIME magazine. He is a host of the show “Amanpour and Company” on PBS and CNN, a contributor to CNBC, and host of the podcast “Trailblazers, from Dell Technologies.” He is also an advisory partner at Perella Weinberg, a financial services firm based in New York City. Isaacson is the author of Leonardo da Vinci (2017), The Innovators: How a Group of Hackers, Geniuses, and Geeks Created the Digital Revolution (2014), Steve Jobs (2011), Einstein: His Life and Universe (2007), Benjamin Franklin: An American Life (2003), and Kissinger: A Biography (1992), and coauthor of The Wise Men: Six Friends and the World They Made (1986). 5x15 brings together five outstanding individuals to tell of their lives, passions and inspirations.

Einstein:His Life and Universe by Walter Isaacson
Joe talks with Walter Isaacson about his newest book The Code Breaker: Jennifer Doudna, Gene Editing, and the Future of the Human Race. Walter explains the science behind gene editing and the ethical and scientific implications for humans. They also discuss the importance of remaining curious and many of the other lessons Walter has learned writing books to include Leonardo da Vinci; The Innovators; Steve Jobs; Einstein: His Life and Universe; Benjamin Franklin: An American Life; and Kissinger: A Biography.
“I love the miracles of science, and I think it’s more dangerous to fear science than to embrace it. The basic theme of my book is ‘nature is beautiful.' And the other theme? ‘Nature is useful.’ Once you realize how beautiful it is, you can use our human ingenuity to turn the beauty of nature into things than can help us.” Walter Isaacson is back on the show, this time with a new book in hand titled The Code Breaker: Jennifer Doudna, Gene Editing, and the Future of the Human Race. As Isaacson explains in the opening pages of the book, the first half of the 20th century was driven by a revolution centered around physics — Einstein, relativity and quantum theory. The second half of the 20th century was an information technology era: the computer, the microchip, and the internet, which lead to the digital revolution. Now, Isaacson posits, we are entering the most momentous era of all— a life-science revolution, driven by the cutting-edge gene editing technology called CRISPR that changes lives and changes people— literally. In the first part of this conversation, Walter and Daniel go into the development of CRISPR and its extraordinary possibilities in curing diseases and stopping viruses, as well as how it has already been abused. In the second part, they discuss the broad moral implications the use of gene editing raises, from the basic questions “Should I be able to make my son a little taller, a little more muscular?” to more profound questions such as "What is a disability?" Should deafness in children, for example, be a trait preserved by deaf parents? What is objectively a hindrance to living a full and rich life that CRISPR can easily solve? Who decides? This is our future, whether we like it or not. It is up to us as a society— not scientists and not politicians — to decide our fate and the limits we will set for ourselves.

Hosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi and William Thrasher discuss the original Hellraiser movie from 1987 with special guest Ray Ortega, host of The Podcasters' Studio. Based on Clive Barker's 1986 novella The Hellbound Heart, Hellraiser is a family drama meets horror meets dark fantasy with elements of BDSM laced throughout. Julia (Clare Higgins) reminisces about an affair she had years ago with her husband's brother, Frank (Sean Chapman). After her husband Larry (Andrew Robinson) cuts himself on a nail while moving a matress, his blood leads to Frank's resurrection in a bloodied skeletal state. Can Larry's daughter Kirsty (Ashley Laurence) convince the demonic Cenobites to get rid of Frank? Thrasher enjoys the brief season of W/ Bob & David, especially the behind the scenes episode. Mat discusses the new film Alien: Covenant. He likes it, but feels they shouldn't make any more Alien prequels after this one; it makes for a dandy companion piece to Prometheus. Ray's been reading Einstein: His Life and Universe by Walter Isaacson, but finds it less interesting than Isaacson's book Steve Jobs. He's also trying to catch up on Homeland when time allows.

Hello and welcome to episode 25 of the Wonder Junkie Podcast ft the musical composers of the new tv series, Genius, Will Henshall & neuroscientist Dr. Julia Mossbridge. Genius is the new tv series presented by National Geographic with the first-ever scripted series, based on the Walter Isaacson book ‘Einstein: His Life and Universe’ The cast includes Geoffrey Rush as professor Einstein, Johnny Flynn as Albert in his youth and Emily Watson as the scientist’s second wife — and first cousin — Elsa Einstein. Over 10 episodes, the series takes einstein’s story beyond the halls of academia to explore his struggles to be a good husband and father, and a man of principle during a period of global unrest. His daringly creative mind often landed him in trouble with his loved ones and peers, but also helped him to usher in ground-breaking discoveries that reshaped modern science. For this series, a collection of musical pieces has been created, inspired by Albert Einstein. It has been scientifically designed around the perfect formula to fuel our genius and enhance our concentration… so that is what this episode is all about as I speak to Will Henshall & neuroscientist Dr. Julia Mossbridge. Spoiler alert; Einstein would've been a Slayer fan ;)

TEMPLE GRANDIN - Originally aired January 2010 WALTER ISAACSON - Originally aired May 2007 Two extraordinary minds: Interviews about a couple of individuals who, though slow learners as children, grew up to do amazing things. In the first half, I'll talk with Temple Grandin, PhD, probably the most accomplished adult with autism in the world. Now a Professor of Animal Science at Colorado State University and a designer of livestock handling facilities, Grandin, who didn't speak until she was three and a half years old, has become a prominent author, speaker and advocate on the issues of Autism and Asperger's Syndrome. The 2010 HBO film based on her life won seven Emmys, including Outstanding Movie Made for Television, Outstanding Directing - Mick Jackson, and Outstanding Actress - Clare Danes. In the second half, my guest will be WALTER ISAACSON, former managing editor of TIME magazine and Chairman of CNN, current head of the Aspen Institute, and the author of several bestselling books, including his biography of Steve Jobs. We'll talk about his biography, EINSTEIN: His Life and Universe. Einstein discovered, merely by thinking about it, that the universe was not as it seemed. His contributions changed the way we conceive of reality. A new biography makes the point that his scientific imagination sprang from his rebellious questioning of authority - a testament to the connection between creativity and freedom. In addition to his scientific genius, he was also noted for his social conscience Besides campaigning for a ban on nuclear weaponry, he denounced McCarthyism and pleaded for an end to bigotry and racism.
