En “all-inclusive”-episode om malaria. Her får du høre historien om den gangen infeksjonsmedisineren selv fikk malaria på vakt, du får en høytsvevende reise gjennom malariaens historie - og et intervju med Kristine Mørch - som etter vår mening dekker de fleste aspekter rundt praktisk håndtering av malaria.

If you've claimed welfare benefits in Europe lately, there's a decent chance that authorities have used an algorithm to assess whether you might be trying to scam the system. The problem? All kinds of discrimination are baked into these calculations. This week we speak to Gabriel Geiger, one of the journalists behind an international investigation into these ‘suspicion machines'. We're also looking back at a week of highs and lows for Europe's climate policy, and celebrating Pompeii's fluffy new recruits. You can find the various pieces published as part of Lighthouse Reports' ‘suspicion machines' investigation here and follow Gabriel on Twitter here. The Guardian graphic that Dominic mentioned, explaining why it's so hard to power ships with electricity, can be found here. This week's Isolation Inspiration: 'Lessons' by Ian McEwan, Traute Lafrenz's obituary, and 'A Brief History of Everyone Who Ever Lived' by Adam Rutherford. Thanks for listening!

This week, Dr Joanne Paul sits down with scientist, writer and broadcaster, Dr Adam Rutherford.Adam has written several books on the history of science including How To Argue with a Racist and A Brief History of Everyone Who Ever Lived as well as presenting several science documentaries for BBC and contributing regularly to the Guardian newspaper.Joanne asks what science can bring to history and how genetics can be used as a primary source? Adam talks through why science needs the study of the past and what he would love to talk with Charle Darwin about. He also discusses how scientific pioneers often held the most repugnant views.A Viral History Podcast. Hosted by Dr Joanne Paul, Produced by Paul Bradshaw, and Researched by Isabel Wilson.
This week I'm joined by geneticist, broadcaster and writer, Dr Adam Rutherford to hear about how he went from a PhD to the BBC, the broadcasting process in lockdown, whether we can combat racism with good science, whether social media is a force for good or evil, and why he teaches celebs to pipette. In a twist we even end up nerding out about Classics. Dr Adam Rutherford is a broadcaster, writer and scientist. You'll probably know Adam as the host of BBC Radio 4's flagship science show, Inside Science, as well as the co-host, alongside Dr Hannah Fry, of the radio show and podcast, The Curious Cases of Rutherford and Fry. A geneticist by training, Adam is now one of the best known science communicators in the UK, and author of multiple popular science books including "The Book of Humans", "A Brief History of Everyone Who Ever Lived" and his most recently published book "How to Argue with a Racist".
Today’s podcast features Adam Rutherford, a geneticist trained at University College London who has spent much of his career as a science communicator: as an editor at Nature, as a radio and television commentator for the BBC, and as the author such books with delightful titles, including "Creation: the Origin of Life/The Future of Life" and "A Brief History of Everyone Who Ever Lived." Adam joins us to discuss his timely and excellent new book, "How to Argue With a Racist."
Racist pseudoscience has become so commonplace that it can be hard to spot. But its toxic effects on society are plain to see—feeding nationalism, fueling hatred, endangering lives, and corroding our discourse on everything from sports to intelligence. Even well-intentioned people repeat stereotypes based on “science,” because cutting-edge genetics is hard to grasp, and all too easy to distort. Paradoxically, these misconceptions are multiplying even as scientists make unprecedented discoveries in human genetics—findings that, when accurately understood, are powerful evidence against racism. We've never had clearer answers about who we are and where we come from, but this knowledge is sorely needed in our casual conversations about race. How to Argue With a Racist: What Our Genes Do (and Don't) Say About Human Difference (The Experiment) emphatically dismantles outdated notions of race by illuminating what modern genetics actually can and can't tell us about human difference. We now know that the racial categories still dividing us do not align with observable genetic differences. In fact, our differences are so minute that, most of all, they serve as evidence of our shared humanity. Adam Rutherford is a geneticist, science writer, and broadcaster. He has written and presented many award-winning series and programs for the BBC, including the flagship weekly Radio 4 program Inside Science, The Cell for BBC Four, and Playing God (on the rise of synthetic biology) for the leading science series Horizon. He is also the author of A Brief History of Everyone Who Ever Lived, finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award in nonfiction; and Creation, on the origin of life and synthetic biology, which was short-listed for the Wellcome Book Prize. Matthew Jordan is a professor at McMaster University, where he teaches courses on AI and the history of science. You can follow him on Twitter @mattyj612 or his website matthewleejordan.com.

Today we review the key lessons from Adam Rutherford’s book: A Brief History of Everyone Who Has Ever Lived. Fascinating book on evolution, genetics and the human story. Highly recommend picking up a copy! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/mdrnac/message
This week we are joined by the brilliant British geneticist, broadcaster, science journalist and author, Dr Adam Rutherford. He's written several books of international acclaim like “Creation: The Origin of Life and the Future of Life”, “A Brief History of Everyone Who Ever Lived”, “The Book of Humans: The Story of How We Became Us” and “Humanimal: How Homo Sapiens Became Nature's Most Paradoxical Creature”. Avid podcast listeners might know him from the BBC Radio 4 shows ‘Inside Science' and ‘The Curious Cases of Rutherford & Fry', but he also frequently appears on TV both as presenter and as an expert in genetics. Adam frequently appears as a speaker at Skeptics in the Pub events and on the same day this interview goes out he will be giving a talk on Skeptics in the Pub Online that bears the same title as his latest book, How to Argue With a Racist: History, Science and Reality. Enjoy! Segments: Intro; Greetings; Interview; Farewell; Outro; Out-takes Events Calendar: http://theesp.eu/events_in_europe
Hva er det samfunnsmessige viktige med presisjonsmedisin? Og hvor mye av genetikken til Norges befolkning kjenner vi til? I denne episoden av #LØRN snakker Silvija med professor og leder hos senter for bioinformatikk, Institutt for informatikk ved Universitetet i Oslo, Eivind Hovig, om hvordan mutasjoner i kreft samspiller med immunsystemet, og forutsigelser på hvordan man kan manipulere det— Bioinformatiske løsninger er det som er ofte i fokus, men innovasjon er noe som dukker opp som muligheter underveis i forskningen og ikke noe som er i fokus i og for seg. Noe av kunsten er jo å være i forskningsfronten innen et område med samfunnsmessig relevans, slik jeg ser det, forteller han i episoden.

''A heady amalgam of science, history, a little bit of anthropology and plenty of nuanced, captivating storytelling'' (The New York Times Book Review), Adam Rutherford's A Brief History of Everyone Who Ever Lived delves into the ages-spanning story of our species through the field of genomics. A National Geographic Best Book of 2017, it was a nonfiction finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award. A University College London PhD and science writer for The Guardian, Rutherford has also written and hosted several programs for the BBC, including Inside Science, The Cell, and Playing God. His new book investigates just what it means to be human. (recorded 3/21/2019)
This episode begins our discussion of the prehistory of Homo sapiens, the species to which we belong. Our origins are examined on the African continent and we trace the movement of our Ancestors across the world, from Asia to Australia, and from Europe and Siberia to the Americas. This episode ends with a discussion of race, how it developed as a concept, and what it means to anthropologists today.Transcript: https://riverofhistory.tumblr.com/post/183673468776/episode-9-homo-sapiensLinks and Referenced Mentioned:Inspiration for the dissection of‘population’ and ‘migration’: https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/plug-and-play-genetics-racial-migrations-and-human-history/Steve Olson quote: Mapping Human History, Mariner Books(2002)African Multiregionalism: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0959437X1730182X?dgcid=authorBorrowing of the term “Ancestor”: The Humans Who Went Extinct, CliveFinlayson, Oxford University Press (2009)Generalist Specialists:https://www.researchgate.net/publication/326689995_Defining_the_'generalist_specialist'_niche_for_Pleistocene_Homo_sapiens_Nature_Human_BehaviourDeep Ancestral Ties to LivingAfricans: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-018-07164-9& https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0959437X18300601?via%3DihubOldest Bow-and-Arrow: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/324721964_The_antiquity_of_bow-and-arrow_technology_Evidence_from_Middle_Stone_Age_layers_at_Sibudu_CaveAccess of Southwest Asia fromAfrica via warm and wet corridors:https://www.researchgate.net/publication/303763801_Palaeohydrological_corridors_for_hominin_dispersals_in_the_Middle_East_250-70000_years_agoReturn movements into Africa:https://www.researchgate.net/publication/325856764_Carriers_of_mitochondrial_DNA_macrohaplogroup_L3_basal_lineages_migrated_back_to_Africa_from_Asia_around_70000_years_ago1.5-2.1% of non-African genomes areNeanderthal: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4031459/Neanderthal Traits in Homo sapiens: https://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/primer/dtcgenetictesting/neanderthaldna &https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28985494Early Homo sapiens movements into Eurasia:https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5164938/& https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4933530/& https://www.nature.com/articles/s41559-017-0436-8 & https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-019-38818-xToba Eruption Discussion: When Humans Nearly Vanished, DonaldProthero, Smithsonian Books (2018) & TheGreat Divide, Peter Watson, HarperCollins Publishers (2013)Possible climate-driver for Humansleaving Africa: https://pubs.geoscienceworld.org/gsa/geology/article/45/11/1023/516677/a-climatic-context-for-the-out-of-africa-migrationLice study and the Origin ofClothing: https://www.cell.com/current-biology/fulltext/S0960-9822(03)00507-4?Bone needles: https://www.sapiens.org/archaeology/fashion-history-sewing-needles/Alexander Harcourt coastalmigration reference: Humankind,Pegasus Books (2015)Genetic evidence for peopling ofSoutheast Asia: http://science.sciencemag.org/content/361/6397/88.longPeopling of Sahul: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0047248418302136 &https://www.nature.com/articles/nature18299& https://www.nature.com/articles/nature21416Peopling of Eastern & Northern Asia:https://investigativegenetics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/2041-2223-4-11 &http://www.genetics.org/content/202/1/261 & http://advances.sciencemag.org/content/3/2/e1601877.fullMating between Denisovans andAncestors: https://peerj.com/preprints/27526.pdfPeopling of Europe: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2752585/ &https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3427117/& https://www.newscientist.com/article/2139694-we-may-have-mated-with-neanderthals-more-than-219000-years-ago/ &https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-019-41033-3Peopling of Siberia: https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/full/10.1086/693388Peopling of the Americas: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27507099 &http://advances.sciencemag.org/content/4/8/eaat5473& https://journals.plos.org/plosgenetics/article?id=10.1371/journal.pgen.0030185 &https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/2018/11/ancient-dna-reveals-complex-migrations-first-americans/ &https://www.cell.com/current-biology/fulltext/S0960-9822(18)31495-7?Discussion of Race: A Brief History of Everyone Who Ever Lived,Adam Rutherford, The Experiment (2017); MappingHuman History, Steve Olson, Mariner Books (2002); https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4756148/

This episode begins our discussion of the prehistory of Homo sapiens, the species to which we belong. Our origins are examined on the African continent and we trace the movement of our Ancestors across the world, from Asia to Australia, and from Europe and Siberia to the Americas. This episode ends with a discussion of race, how it developed as a concept, and what it means to anthropologists today.Transcript: https://riverofhistory.tumblr.com/post/183673468776/episode-9-homo-sapiensLinks and Referenced Mentioned:Inspiration for the dissection of ‘population’ and ‘migration’: https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/plug-and-play-genetics-racial-migrations-and-human-history/Steve Olson quote: Mapping Human History, Mariner Books (2002)African Multiregionalism: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0959437X1730182X?dgcid=authorBorrowing of the term “Ancestor”: The Humans Who Went Extinct, Clive Finlayson, Oxford University Press (2009)Generalist Specialists: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/326689995_Defining_the_'generalist_specialist'_niche_for_Pleistocene_Homo_sapiens_Nature_Human_BehaviourDeep Ancestral Ties to Living Africans: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-018-07164-9 & https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0959437X18300601?via%3DihubOldest Bow-and-Arrow: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/324721964_The_antiquity_of_bow-and-arrow_technology_Evidence_from_Middle_Stone_Age_layers_at_Sibudu_CaveAccess of Southwest Asia from Africa via warm and wet corridors: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/303763801_Palaeohydrological_corridors_for_hominin_dispersals_in_the_Middle_East_250-70000_years_agoReturn movements into Africa: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/325856764_Carriers_of_mitochondrial_DNA_macrohaplogroup_L3_basal_lineages_migrated_back_to_Africa_from_Asia_around_70000_years_ago1.5-2.1% of non-African genomes are Neanderthal: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4031459/Neanderthal Traits in Homo sapiens: https://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/primer/dtcgenetictesting/neanderthaldna & https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28985494Early Homo sapiens movements into Eurasia: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5164938/& https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4933530/ & https://www.nature.com/articles/s41559-017-0436-8 & https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-019-38818-xToba Eruption Discussion: When Humans Nearly Vanished, Donald Prothero, Smithsonian Books (2018) & The Great Divide, Peter Watson, HarperCollins Publishers (2013)Possible climate-driver for Humans leaving Africa: https://pubs.geoscienceworld.org/gsa/geology/article/45/11/1023/516677/a-climatic-context-for-the-out-of-africa-migrationLice study and the Origin of Clothing: https://www.cell.com/current-biology/fulltext/S0960-9822(03)00507-4?Bone needles: https://www.sapiens.org/archaeology/fashion-history-sewing-needles/Alexander Harcourt coastal migration reference: Humankind, Pegasus Books (2015)Genetic evidence for peopling of Southeast Asia: http://science.sciencemag.org/content/361/6397/88.longPeopling of Sahul: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0047248418302136 & https://www.nature.com/articles/nature18299 & https://www.nature.com/articles/nature21416Peopling of Eastern & Northern Asia: https://investigativegenetics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/2041-2223-4-11 & http://www.genetics.org/content/202/1/261 & http://advances.sciencemag.org/content/3/2/e1601877.fullMating between Denisovans and Ancestors: https://peerj.com/preprints/27526.pdfPeopling of Europe: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2752585/ & https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3427117/ & https://www.newscientist.com/article/2139694-we-may-have-mated-with-neanderthals-more-than-219000-years-ago/ & https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-019-41033-3Peopling of Siberia: https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/full/10.1086/693388Peopling of the Americas: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27507099 & http://advances.sciencemag.org/content/4/8/eaat5473 & https://journals.plos.org/plosgenetics/article?id=10.1371/journal.pgen.0030185 & https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/2018/11/ancient-dna-reveals-complex-migrations-first-americans/ & https://www.cell.com/current-biology/fulltext/S0960-9822(18)31495-7?Discussion of Race: A Brief History of Everyone Who Ever Lived, Adam Rutherford, The Experiment (2017); Mapping Human History, Steve Olson, Mariner Books (2002); https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4756148/ Development of Phenotypic Traits: http://science.sciencemag.org/content/358/6365/eaan8433 & https://www.cell.com/abstract/S0092-8674%2813%2900067-6

Listen to the debate from the Battle of Ideas 2016. In November, Oxford Dictionaries declared ‘post-truth’ its Word of the Year. For some commentators, both the US presidential campaign and the EU referendum in the UK have revealed the emergence of ‘post-truth’ politics. Donald Trump has dismissed fact-checking as an ‘out-of-touch, elitist media-type thing’. Former Tory minister and Brexit leader Michael Gove notoriously claimed that ‘people in this country have had enough of experts’. Have experts been over-reaching themselves and intruding into matters that require political judgement rather than statistics? On the other hand, if people scorn evidence, will society sink into the mire of prejudice and superstition? Have the majority of voters really given up on assessing the evidence?
