Podcasts about Maurice Wilkins

Deciphering the structure of DNA was as complex as the double helix itself. On 28th February, 1953, Dr. James Watson and Dr. Francis Crick rushed to the pub and announced to their fellow drinkers in The Eagle, Cambridge that they had just found “the secret of life”.  But their work would not have been possible without the uncredited contribution of Dr. Rosalind Franklin - whose photographs of the X-ray diffraction pattern of DNA were the first to reveal its three-dimensional structure. And it was her colleague, Dr Maurice Wilkins, who first brought Franklin's work to the attention of Watson and Crick. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly consider how it came to be that Crick's wife, Odile; drew the iconic depiction of the structure published in Nature; explain why *technically* Dr Franklin didn't even have a degree; and recall how James Watson's legacy was tainted by his bitter and snide memoir, ‘The Double Helix'...  Further Reading: • ‘Double-Helix Structure of DNA' (ThoughtCo, 2020): https://www.thoughtco.com/double-helix-373302 • ‘The Geek Atlas - 128 Places Where Science and Technology Come Alive, By John Graham-Cumming' (O'Reilly Media, 2009): https://www.google.co.uk/books/edition/The_Geek_Atlas/rXH0AQAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=crick+watson+eagle+1953&pg=PA267&printsec=frontcover • ‘Rosalind Franklin: DNA's unsung hero - Cláudio L.

En algunas épocas de la historia más lentamente, y en otras aceleradamente. Pero uno de los hechos más sorprendente en el avance de la ciencia son los descubrimientos por casualidad. Esta casualidad que podemos llamar serendipia, ocurre cuando se investiga sobre algo y se descubre otra cosa en la cual ni pensábamos investigar. La serendipia es un fenómeno que ha tenido un impacto significativo en la ciencia a lo largo de la historia. Se refiere al descubrimiento o encuentro fortuito de algo valioso o importante mientras se busca algo completamente diferente o sin intención. A continuación, se exploran algunos ejemplos de serendipias en la ciencia y cómo han contribuido a avances significativos: * Penicilina: Uno de los ejemplos más famosos de serendipia en la ciencia es el descubrimiento de la penicilina por Alexander Fleming en 1928. Mientras investigaba bacterias en su laboratorio, Fleming notó que un moho (Penicillium) había inhibido el crecimiento de las bacterias en una placa de Petri que había dejado descuidada. Este descubrimiento llevó al desarrollo de uno de los primeros antibióticos y revolucionó la medicina al proporcionar una forma efectiva de combatir infecciones bacterianas. * Rayos X: En 1895, Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen estaba investigando los efectos de los rayos catódicos cuando notó que una placa fotográfica cercana se iluminaba de manera inusual. Descubrió que los rayos X podían atravesar objetos sólidos y producir imágenes de los huesos y otros tejidos internos del cuerpo humano. Este hallazgo condujo al desarrollo de la radiografía y la tomografía computarizada, revolucionando la medicina y la detección de enfermedades. * Microondas: En 1945, Percy Spencer, un ingeniero estadounidense, estaba trabajando en un proyecto relacionado con el radar en Raytheon Corporation cuando notó que una barra de chocolate que tenía en su bolsillo se había derretido. Se dio cuenta de que las microondas emitidas por el radar habían calentado la barra de chocolate. Este descubrimiento condujo al desarrollo de los hornos de microondas que utilizamos en la cocina moderna. * ADN y la Doble Hélice: La estructura del ADN, una de las bases fundamentales de la genética moderna, se descubrió en parte gracias a la serendipia. James Watson y Francis Crick, junto con Rosalind Franklin y Maurice Wilkins, estaban investigando la estructura del ADN en la década de 1950. Un día, Watson y Crick tuvieron un "momento eureka" cuando vieron una maqueta de metal de la doble hélice del ADN en el laboratorio de Linus Pauling. Este encuentro fortuito les proporcionó una pista clave para comprender la estructura del ADN. Estos ejemplos destacan cómo la serendipia ha desempeñado un papel importante en el avance de la ciencia y la tecnología. A menudo, los descubrimientos más valiosos han surgido cuando los científicos estaban abiertos a la posibilidad de encontrar algo inesperado durante sus investigaciones. La serendipia demuestra la importancia de la observación atenta y la mente abierta en la investigación científica.

Linus Carl Pauling (February 28, 1901 – August 19, 1994) was an American chemist, biochemist, chemical engineer, peace activist, author, and educator. He published more than 1,200 papers and books, of which about 850 dealt with scientific topics. New Scientist called him one of the 20 greatest scientists of all time, and as of 2000, he was rated the 16th most important scientist in history. For his scientific work, Pauling was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1954. For his peace activism, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1962. He is one of five people to have won more than one Nobel Prize (the others being Marie Curie, John Bardeen, Frederick Sanger and Karl Barry Sharpless). Of these, he is the only person to have been awarded two unshared Nobel Prizes, and one of two people to be awarded Nobel Prizes in different fields, the other being Marie Curie. Pauling was one of the founders of the fields of quantum chemistry and molecular biology. His contributions to the theory of the chemical bond include the concept of orbital hybridisation and the first accurate scale of electronegativities of the elements. Pauling also worked on the structures of biological molecules, and showed the importance of the alpha helix and beta sheet in protein secondary structure. Pauling's approach combined methods and results from X-ray crystallography, molecular model building, and quantum chemistry. His discoveries inspired the work of Rosalind Franklin, James Watson, Francis Crick, and Maurice Wilkins on the structure of DNA, which in turn made it possible for geneticists to crack the DNA code of all organisms. In his later years, he promoted nuclear disarmament, as well as orthomolecular medicine, megavitamin therapy, and dietary supplements, especially ascorbic acid (commonly known as Vitamin C). He was married to the American human rights activist Ava Helen Pauling.

Hace ahora algo más de cien años, el 25 de julio de 1920, nació en Londres Rosalind Franklin. Química e investigadora, su trabajo fue fundamental para la comprensión de la estructura del ADN, el material que contiene la información genética y hereditaria de la vida. Sin embargo, en 1962, cuatro años después de que ella hubiese fallecido con tan solo 37 años y a causa de un cáncer, fueron otros investigadores, todos hombres, James Watson, Francis Crick y Maurice Wilkins, quienes ganaron el premio Nobel en Medicina por el descubrimiento de la estructura del ADN, usando algunos de los secretos revelados primero por Franklin.

It's been 70 years since the discovery of the double helix structure of the DNA back in 1953, by James Watson and Francis Crick. These two and Maurice Wilkins went on to win a Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1962 for their discovery. Now, a key part of this story was the accusations that another colleague, Rosalind Franklin, was robbed of her data - and thus acknowledgement - which formed a crucial part of the discovery. But was this really the case? And looking back at our knowledge of DNA, how did the discovery of the double-helix structure help us better understand its function? Neurogeneticist Dr Azlina Ahmad Annuar joins us on this episode of Brain Waves to help us dive into how much we've learned about DNA in the past 70 years, and whether there's still more for us to learn in the years to come.Image Credit: Vittorio Luzzati/CSHL

James Dewey Watson (born April 6, 1928) is an American molecular biologist, geneticist, and zoologist. In 1953, he co-authored with Francis Crick the academic paper proposing the double helix structure of the DNA molecule. Watson, Crick and Maurice Wilkins were awarded the 1962 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine "for their discoveries concerning the molecular structure of nucleic acids and its significance for information transfer in living material". Watson earned degrees at the University of Chicago (BS, 1947) and Indiana University (PhD, 1950). Following a post-doctoral year at the University of Copenhagen with Herman Kalckar and Ole Maaløe, Watson worked at the University of Cambridge's Cavendish Laboratory in England, where he first met his future collaborator Francis Crick. From 1956 to 1976, Watson was on the faculty of the Harvard University Biology Department, promoting research in molecular biology. From 1968, Watson served as director of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL), greatly expanding its level of funding and research. At CSHL, he shifted his research emphasis to the study of cancer, along with making it a world-leading research center in molecular biology. In 1994, he started as president and served for 10 years. He was then appointed chancellor, serving until he resigned in 2007 after making comments claiming that there is a genetic link between intelligence and race. In 2019, following the broadcast of a documentary in which Watson reiterated these views on race and genetics, CSHL revoked his honorary titles and severed all ties with him. Watson has written many science books, including the textbook Molecular Biology of the Gene (1965) and his bestselling book The Double Helix (1968). Between 1988 and 1992, Watson was associated with the National Institutes of Health, helping to establish the Human Genome Project, which completed the task of mapping the human genome in 2003. ___________________________________________________________ Francis Harry Compton Crick (8 June 1916 – 28 July 2004) was an English molecular biologist, biophysicist, and neuroscientist. He, James Watson, Rosalind Franklin, and Maurice Wilkins played crucial roles in deciphering the helical structure of the DNA molecule. Crick and Watson's paper in Nature in 1953 laid the groundwork for understanding DNA structure and functions. Together with Maurice Wilkins, they were jointly awarded the 1962 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine "for their discoveries concerning the molecular structure of nucleic acids and its significance for information transfer in living material". Crick was an important theoretical molecular biologist and played a crucial role in research related to revealing the helical structure of DNA. He is widely known for the use of the term "central dogma" to summarise the idea that once information is transferred from nucleic acids (DNA or RNA) to proteins, it cannot flow back to nucleic acids. In other words, the final step in the flow of information from nucleic acids to proteins is irreversible. During the remainder of his career, he held the post of J.W. Kieckhefer Distinguished Research Professor at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La Jolla, California. His later research centered on theoretical neurobiology and attempts to advance the scientific study of human consciousness. He remained in this post until his death; "he was editing a manuscript on his death bed, a scientist until the bitter end" according to Christof Koch.

As a celebratory episode, reaching number 50 in this podcast, we talk about the history of DNA, from its discovery by Dr. Friedrich Miescher in the 1860s, to the race to uncover its correct structure in 1953, between the Great and Powerful Linus Pauling, and the less-great and certainly non-powerful James Watson and Francis Crick. Along the way, we learn of the fits and starts in figuring out what DNA's real function was, and how it differed from RNA (originally lumped together with DNA as "nucleic acid"). Among the scientists we find along the way are Frederick Griffith, Oswald Avery, Erwin Schrödinger, Erwin Chargaff, Edward Ronwin, Maurice Wilkins, Rosalind Franklin, and Peter Pauling.Support the show Support my podcast at https://www.patreon.com/thehistoryofchemistry Tell me how your life relates to chemistry!

Rosalind Franklin was born in 1920 and studied Natural Sciences. After working in Paris at the Laboratoire Central - where she became an x-ray crystallographer - she moved to King's College London. Here she helped to take the famous Photograph 51 which led to the discovery of the double helix shape of DNA. Her contribution was famously and disgracefully downplayed by the men who won the Nobel Prize. Later at Birkbeck College she undertook pioneering work of the structure of viruses before dying of ovarian cancer, aged just 37. Nominating Rosalind Franklin is Kate Bingham. She chaired the UK government's Vaccine Taskforce, and she also attended the same school as Rosalind Franklin - St Paul's Girls' School in London. Further contributions from Dr Patricia Fara of Clare College, Cambridge, and Howard Bailes, archivist of St Paul's School. Archive contributors include Francis Crick, Maurice Wilkins and Colin Franklin. The producer in Bristol is Miles Warde

In this episode, we explore some of the major scientific findings – like discovering DNA – that set the stage for the development of gene therapy and its groundbreaking potential when it comes to the treatment of genetic diseases. The very idea of gene therapy wouldn't be imaginable had two pairs of pioneering scientists not bonded decades earlier. In 1951, a young chemist named Rosalind Franklin and her colleague Maurice Wilkins at King's College in London were using X-ray crystallography to try and perceive the properties of a theoretical molecule known as deoxyribonucleic acid.At the time, many scientists believed that all the genetic information about living organisms was contained in a molecule called DNA. But no one had figured out exactly what it was, or what it looked like.After attending a presentation by Franklin, James Watson – who was also studying the topic – connected with Francis Crick. Crick had been studying the concept of base pairs – the idea that nucleic acid is composed of chemical bonds between not one but two sets of molecules, each supporting the other, much like the two sides of a ladder support the rungs in between. Excited by their shared passion, Crick and Watson in Cambridge began to build models of possible DNA structures, trying to figure out just how all the pieces fit. Eventually, Franklin, Wilkins, Watson and Crick's efforts joined, and DNA was discovered. Then, in the 1970s, DNA was successfully transferred from one life form to another.Less than 50 years after Crick, Franklin, Wilkins, and Watson first showed us what this molecule looks like, genetic engineering gave us the ability to reprogram it when it isn't working. Scientists and doctors began to dream big: could this technology eventually cure all genetic diseases?There was still work to be done. But, like a tiny plasmid loaded up with recombinant DNA, we were on our way.For more education on gene therapy, visit www.genetherapynetwork.com.

Rosalind Franklin is a name that you can say in a crowded room and get either blank stares or absolute rage but very little in between. Franklin, for those not raging right now, is the scientist who discovered the molecular structure we now call DNA, but credit for the discovery has generally got to James Watson, Francis Crick, and Maurice Wilkins, who had used Franklin's unpublished research as the basis for theirs, and who received a Nobel prize for the discovery for years after Franklin's death. Fifty years later and the president of Harvard, Lawrence Summers argued that it was a woman's biology, her DNA if you will, that meant that men, in his opinion always do better at math and science. That was 16 years ago. I'm bringing this up because Franklin is probably just one of the better known cases of a woman's contribution to history, being allowed to fall through the cracks or be entirely forgotten. This is one of the issues at the heart of Persistence theatre's new play the Mirror, which is based on the life Armine Nutting Gosling, a name every Newfoundland and Labradorian should know, but chances are we don't.

Unless otherwise noted, all Web addresses mentioned were functional as of 9-10-21. TRANSCRIPT OF AUDIO From the Cumberland Gap to the Atlantic Ocean, this is Virginia Water Radio for the week of September 13, 2021.  This revised episode from December 2018 is part of a series this fall of episodes on water connections to the human body and human biology. MUSIC – ~ 15 sec – Lyrics:  “Well you're nothing but a pack of neurons, in a shapely bag of goo.  All your thoughts and dreams, your hopes and schemes, are electrochemical, too.”This week, that music sets the stage for describing some biochemical and electro-chemical aspects of the water-based environment inside of us.  Have a listen for about 45 more seconds. MUSIC – ~47 sec – Lyrics: “Well the first time I ever saw your face, dear, my ions began to diffuse.  Your eyes aglow made the sodium flow through those membrane avenues.  When our fingers unite, more than synapses excite, and those lips I can't refuse.  I know we're more than just a chemical reaction, ‘cause I'm in love with you-oo-oo, I'm in love with you.  Well you're nothing but a pack of neurons, controlling a bag of goo.  All your thoughts and dreams, your hopes and schemes, are electrochemical, too.  You are what you eat, ‘cept for what you excrete, so watch out what you chew.  You're nothing but a pack of neurons, and I'm in love with you-oo-oo, I'm in love with you.  This is the part where the sodium and potassium ions do a little soft-shoe.”You've been listening to part of “Pack of Neurons,” by Bob Gramann of Fredericksburg, Va., on his 2008 album, “Mostly Live.”  According to Mr. Gramann, the title “Pack of Neurons” was inspired by the use of that phrase in The Astonishing Hypothesis, a 1994 book by Francis Crick on human consciousness.   Dr. Crick shared the 1962 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with James Watson and Maurice Wilkins for their discoveries of the structure of the DNA molecule. Mr. Gramann's song is a light-hearted look at the fundamental role of neurons, of nerve cells, in transmitting the electrical impulses that control humans' mental and physical processes.  Those nerve impulses are transmitted along neurons by changes in the concentration of electrically-charged atoms of sodium and potassium. [Note, not in audio: Neurons are the type of nerve cell that transmits impulses.  The nervous system also has other supporting cells.]  Water is vital as the solvent for those charged atoms, known as ions.  And not just in neurons, but in all biological cells, a water-based solution is the medium in which biochemical substances exist and react.  Regarding water-based solutions, chemist Linus Pauling in 1970 wrote, “One of the most striking properties of water is its ability to dissolve many substances”—including, we might add, ions transmitting the nerve impulses that right now are allowing you to hear or read these words.Thanks to Bob Gramann for permission to use this week's music, and we close with about 20 more seconds of “Pack of Neurons.” MUSIC – ~21 sec - Instrumental SHIP'S BELL Virginia Water Radio is produced by the Virginia Water Resources Research Center, part of Virginia Tech's College of Natural Resources and Environment.  For more Virginia water sounds, music, or information, visit us online at virginiawaterradio.org, or call the Water Center at (540) 231-5624.  Thanks to Stewart Scales for his banjo version of Cripple Creek to open and close this show.  In Blacksburg, I'm Alan Raflo, thanking you for listening, and wishing you health, wisdom, and good water.

EXTRA INFORMATION ABOUT THE HUMAN NERVOUS SYSTEM The following information is quoted from National Institutes of Health/National Cancer Institute, “SEER Training Modules: Review: Introduction to the Nervous System,” online at https://training.seer.cancer.gov/anatomy/nervous/review.html, accessed 9/10/21. *The nervous system is the major controlling, regulatory, and communicating system in the body. It is the center of all mental activity including thought, learning, and memory. *The various activities of the nervous system can be grouped together as three general, overlapping functions: sensory, integrative, and motor. *Neurons are the nerve cells that transmit impulses.  Supporting cells are neuroglia. *The three components of a neuron are a cell body or soma, one or more afferent processes called dendrites, and a single efferent process called an axon. *The central nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord.  Cranial nerves, spinal nerves, and ganglia make up the peripheral nervous system. *The afferent division of the peripheral nervous system carries impulses to the CNS; the efferent division carries impulses away from the CNS. *There are three layers of meninges around the brain and spinal cord.  The outer layer is dura mater, the middle layer is arachnoid, and the innermost layer is pia mater. *The spinal cord functions as a conduction pathway and as a reflex center.  Sensory impulses travel to the brain on ascending tracts in the cord. Motor impulses travel on descending tracts. SOURCES Used for Audio Stewart W.

Découvrez le deuxième épisode de notre cycle sur Rosalind Franklin. Dans cet épisode, nous évoquerons les études à l'Université de Cambridge, sa période parisienne enchantée ainsi que ses premiers mois au sein du King's College de Londres, où elle travaillera sous la direction de Maurice Wilkins.

Despite some off air technical issues Fiona, Kathie, Ellis and Steevie celebrate the latest Covid restriction news in this week's Something for the Weekend broadcast. Ellis lets us know what we will be able to do over the course of the next week while Kathie tells us why her anonymous acquaintance was feeling a bit flushed and Steevie gauns for a dauner. Keep Oban Beautiful's Maurice Wilkins gives us some ideas on how to smarten up the town during the Big Spring Clean and there's music from Heron Valley's Abigail Pryde.

Die Rohnerin und laStaempfli berichtigen die Berichtung: Rosalind Franklin war die grossartige Entdeckerin, der die Männer alle Meriten absprechen wollten. James Watson, Maurice Wilkins und Francis Crick sind klassische Frauenfeinde und üben sich bis heute in Frauenverachtung, Mobbing inklusive. LaStaempfli erzählt die Geschichte über Epigenetik, ihre eigene Recherche und Forschung zum Thema mit dem Fazit: Männer sind gerade in der Forschung üble Gesellen. Sie stehlen Daten, Namen, machen die beteiligte Frauen lächerlich und brüsten sich mit Dingen, auf die sie nie gekommen wären.

The names of James Watson and Francis Crick are inextricably linked with the discovery of the DNA double helix. And if you’ve been paying attention, you’ll know that credit is also due to Rosalind Franklin, Maurice Wilkins and Ray Gosling too.But what about Elwyn Beighton, Fred Griffith or Rudolf Signer? In this episode we’re unwinding history to uncover some of the less well-known stories behind the discovery of the structure and function of DNA.Full show notes, transcript, music credits and references online at GeneticsUnzipped.comFollow us on Twitter @GeneticsUnzipGenetics Unzipped is written and presented by Kat Arney with additional scripting and research by Emily Nordvang and audio production by Hannah Varrall.

Éste es el episodio 86 de 3 Cosas Que Ayer No Sabía, el del viernes 10 de enero de 2020. 01. Frailear II ¡Ya he descubierto por qué al “fraileado” se le llama así! Como es una poda de las ramas interiores del árbol, al mirar desde arriba el árbol, éste se asemeja al corte de pelo tan peculiar de los frailes. Me lo han contado dos oyentes: José Manuel Eslava y Trinidad Torres. 02. Rosalind Franklin Sin Rosalind Franklin los científicos James Watson, Francis Crick y Maurice Wilkins quizá no habrían ganado el Nobel. Rosalind fue la primera persona que reveló la forma helicoidal del ADN humano gracias a una técnica llamada difracción de rayos X. Lo he descubierto gracias a este hilo de Twitter: https://twitter.com/Irene_MtB/status/1215410216516423680 03. Castoreum El Castoreum es un aditivo con sabor a vainilla que se obtiene del ano de los castores.

Hace muchos, muchos, muchos años, en una sociedad muy, muy, muy lejana, un grupo de científicos Francis Crick, Rosalind Franklin, James Watson y Maurice Wilkins descubrieron que la estructura del ADN, es decir, el “ácido desoxirribonucleico” tenía forma de helicoidal, esto es, de hélice. Y por ello todos ganaron un prestigioso premio y reconocimiento, vivieron los últimos días de sus vidas como héroes, amados por todos...

As the lives of these researchers have come together, a race for the DNA structure breaks out. Watson and Crick are seeking to beat Linus Pauling. Maurice Wilkins is trying to surpass Rosalind Franklin. And it seems Rosalind is running against everyone. Join us for the dramatic conclusion of this saga. Maybe you'll fall on the side that thinks Watson and Crick got lucky. Or maybe you'll see them as geniuses. Maybe you can help us cast the Rosalind Franklin in our movie! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/bunsenburnerpod/support

On April 25, 1953, three papers appeared in the journal Nature establishing the helical structure of DNA. The authors of the first paper, James Watson and Francis Crick, are most commonly associated with the discovery. But their work heavily borrowed from that of the authors of the other two papers. Maurice Wilkins received due credit in the form of a Nobel Prize, but Rosalind Franklin... not so much. Join us as we layout the lives of the four people who heralded this discovery. Along the way we'll find what DNA really celebrates, that Crick definitely smoked a lot of weed, and Franklin was so much better than you at everything. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/bunsenburnerpod/support

Well hello once again, once again those Nerds have given us another episode full of fun and laughter, so strap in and hang on tight as we enjoy the rid. Please remember to keep arms inside the ride at all times to avoid injury. To start this mad cap episode we have the cast list of the new Dr. Dolittle with Robert Downey Jr. This cast has almost as many stars as the US flag. Will this be just another remake of a great movie, or will it be great? Who knows, at present all we know for sure is the cast is pretty impressive. Next up we take a moment to discuss the presence of water on the moon. That’s right water on the moon, is it H2O or OH, is there enough for a pool to soak away the long dreary hours after working all day as a janitor. Oops, that was the story for Space Quest, sorry. But the presence of water is important to plans to build a moon base for further space exploration. Last topic is about Crazy Taxi and not horrifying us with gruesome violence like the horror movie right there on our TV, called the 6 o’clock news. Sorry, distracted again, but hey, it is an amazing line up to entertain you and is followed by the usual shout outs, remembrances, birthdays and events of interest. As always we would love to hear from you, and please remember to take care of each other and stay hydrated.EPISODE NOTES:Dr Dolittle Movie starring Robert Downey Jr - http://collider.com/robert-downey-jr-doctor-dolittle-movie-reshoots/Moon Water - https://phys.org/news/2019-04-meteoroid-eject-precious-moon.html- https://www.newscientist.com/article/2199618-there-is-water-just-under-the-surface-of-the-moon-that-we-could-use/Crazy Taxi patent expiration - https://patents.google.com/patent/US6200138B1/enGames currently playingProfessor– Age of Empire 2 HD - https://store.steampowered.com/app/221380/Age_of_Empires_II_HD/Buck– Car Simulator 2016 - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/car-mechanic-simulator-2016/9nblggh4t4c4DJ– Apex Legends - https://www.ea.com/games/apex-legendsOther topics discussedThe Voyages of Doctor Dolittle (2020 movie)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Voyage_of_Doctor_DolittleKnut the Polar Bear- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knut_(polar_bear)Inuka the Polar Bear- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/InukaSelena Gomez bio- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selena_GomezThe Voyages of Doctor Dolittle (1922 novel)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Voyages_of_Doctor_DolittleThe Futurist (Robert Downey Jr. album)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Futurist_(Robert_Downey_Jr._album)Craig Robinson (actor)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craig_Robinson_(actor)Pineapple Express (2008 movie)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pineapple_Express_(film)Puss in Boots- https://shrek.fandom.com/wiki/Puss_in_BootsTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014 film)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teenage_Mutant_Ninja_Turtles_(2014_film)LADEE - Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LADEELCROSS - Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LCROSSNASA's strike on moon worked- http://edition.cnn.com/2009/TECH/space/10/09/probe.moon.crash/index.htmlWater on Titan?- https://www.astrobio.net/news-exclusive/a-water-ocean-on-titan/Moon (2009 film)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_(film)Aniara (1956 poem)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AniaraSpace: 1999 (1975 TV Series)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space:_1999Bottle Waters of the World- http://www.finewaters.com/bottled-waters-of-the-world/japanDriver : San Franciso- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Driver:_San_FranciscoKylie Minogue Darling Perfume- https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Kylie-Minogue/Darling-842.htmlLoading screen mini games- https://www.kotaku.com.au/2015/11/the-patent-on-loading-screen-mini-games-is-about-to-expire/Patent - https://patents.google.com/patent/US5718632Midtown Madness (1999 game)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midtown_MadnessMidnight Club (racing series)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midnight_ClubMidnight Club 3: Dub Edition- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midnight_Club_3:_Dub_EditionAssassin’s Creed Unity free giveaway- https://www.gamesradar.com/au/ubisoft-is-giving-away-assassins-creed-unity-for-free-as-a-nod-to-the-notre-dame-cathedral/My Summer Car (game)- https://store.steampowered.com/app/516750/My_Summer_Car/Days Gone motorcycle upgrade- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aP5OjNq_CfsEVA-8 Auto (Apex Legends Gun)- https://apexlegends.gamepedia.com/EVA-8_AutoAl-Aqsa Mosque on fire same time as Notre Dame- https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/small-fire-broke-out-jerusalems-al-aqsa-mosque-flames-ravaged-notre-dame-180971983/Monty Python's Life of Brian- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monty_Python%27s_Life_of_Brian3D Printed heart using patient cells- https://www.gannett-cdn.com/presto/2019/04/15/USAT/903d849a-04cb-4171-b786-4cd7e60fcf8a-AFP_AFP_1FN7BD.JPG?crop=5471,3077,x0,y566&width=3200&height=1680&fit=boundsLive Animal in keychains- http://edition.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/asiapcf/04/14/china.animal.keyring/index.htmlMel Blanc (voice actor)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mel_BlancPeppermint (2018 movie)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peppermint_(2018_film)Ronin (1998 film)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronin_(film)Operation Desert Shield also known as The Gulf War- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulf_WarElvis Lives!

Georgina Ferry interviews David Greaves. David Greaves is Professor of Inflammation Biology at the Dunn School. He did a first degree in microbiology and biochemistry at the University of Bristol before going to King’s College, London for his PhD. He worked on the expression of the beta globin gene in the same laboratory where Maurice Wilkins and Rosalind Franklin had carried out their studies of the structure of DNA. A first post-doctoral position took him to Amsterdam to work on gene expression in trypanosomes. He returned to the UK to join the National Institute for Medical Research at Mill Hill before briefly working in the laboratories of GD Searle Monsanto. His return to academic research in 1993 came in the form of a post-doctoral position with Siamon Gordon at the Dunn School, using transgenic models to study the role of macrophages in inflammation. Since 1999 he has continued this work as a group leader, also developing the use of live-cell imaging to study the process of phagocytosis. Since the early 2000s Greaves has been responsible for organising the teaching of pathology and microbiology to up to 150 medical students per year.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the pioneering scientist Rosalind Franklin (1920 - 1958). During her distinguished career, Franklin carried out ground-breaking research into coal and viruses but she is perhaps best remembered for her investigations in the field of DNA. In 1952 her research generated a famous image that became known as Photograph 51. When the Cambridge scientists Francis Crick and James Watson saw this image, it enabled them the following year to work out that DNA has a double-helix structure, one of the most important discoveries of modern science. Watson, Crick and Franklin's colleague Maurice Wilkins received a Nobel Prize in 1962 for this achievement but Franklin did not and today many people believe that Franklin has not received enough recognition for her work. With: Patricia Fara President of the British Society for the History of Science Jim Naismith Interim lead of the Rosalind Franklin Institute, Director of the Research Complex at Harwell and Professor at the University of Oxford Judith Howard Professor of Chemistry at Durham University Producer: Victoria Brignell.

When the Cambridge scientists Francis Crick and James Watson saw this image, it enabled them the following year to work out that DNA has a double-helix structure, one of the most important discoveries of modern science. Watson, Crick and Franklin's colleague Maurice Wilkins received a Nobel Prize in 1962 for this achievement but Franklin did not and today many people believe that Franklin has not received enough recognition for her work.

What does it take to be remembered well? The discovery of the structure of DNA is often attributed to James Watson and Francis Crick. But a third man shared the stage with them for the 1962 Nobel Prize for medicine - Maurice Wilkins. He was a brilliant physicist who after work on the Manhattan Project was determined to move from "the science of death to the science of life". He made his mark in the fast progressing world of x-ray crystallography and in the late 1940s was the first to propose that biological material that passed on genetic information from one generation to the next might have an order and structure that scientists could elucidate and control. He was to play an integral role one of the most important discoveries of the 20th Century. But why did he fail to capture the public imagination?

(Lesley) In the 1950s, a series of discoveries allowed biologists to capture and construct the double-helio structure of DNA. For these efforts, James Watson, Maurice Wilkins, and Francis Crick were awarded the Nobel Prize in 1962. The implications of this work transformed the field of biology and led to dramatic new advancements in medicine. But the story of DNA was not so simple. James Watson's personal behavior diminished the contributions of other scientists. In this episode of Footnoting History, we learn about the complex drama behind the scenes of a landmark and transformative discovery...and the complications that continue to dog the career of a prominent scientist today.

“Fotografía 51” es el nombre dado a una imagen del ADN obtenida por Rosalind Franklin mediante difracción de rayos X en 1952, y que fue una evidencia fundamental para identificar la estructura del ADN. La fotografía fue tomada por Franklin mientras trabajaba en el King's College de Londres, en el grupo de Sir John Randall. El descubrimiento que llevó en 1962 a la concesión en 1963 del Premio Nobel a James Watson, Francis Crick y Maurice Wilkins, estuvo rodeado de una historia de intriga y espionaje de las que, nunca esperaríamos ver si no es en una película de James Bond. En resumidas cuentas, el trío acabó por engañar a la científica para dejarla sin el botín, el codiciado premio que Rosalind Franklin no solo no recibió, sino que por desgracia tampoco llegó a ver cómo recibían quienes ella consideraba sus colegas. LA FIGURA DE ROSALIND FRANKLIN Entrevistamos a Miguel Vicente, profesor de Investigación del CSIC (Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas). Dirige un laboratorio en el Centro Nacional de Biotecnología, y cree que relatar al público con sencillez los resultados de la investigación es su deber. Puede que algún día se jubile, pero científico lo será hasta que se muera, mientras tanto sigue trabajando y en algunos ratos libres divulgando la Microbiología. Colabora con medios como El Pais de Madrid y es autor de varios artículos sobre Rosalind Franklin. LAS MUJERES Y LA CIENCIA “Examinando con orientación de género la historia de la ciencia, se advierte el ocultamiento, o el mantenimiento sistemático en un segundo plano, de la aportación de las mujeres a partir de finales del siglo XIX.” (Emilce Dio Bleichmar, argentina, psiquiatra y psicoanalista. Profesora de la Universidad Pontificia de Comillas de Madrid) HISTORIAS DE ADN Entrevistamos a Raul Alzogaraya, autor de “Una tumba para los Romanov. Secretos del ADN a través de historias de detectives, zares y reyes”. EL LADO OSCURO DEL PREMIO NOBEL A pesar de su prestigio a nivel internacional, los premios Nobel generan polémica y controversia cuando se trata de responder a dos preguntas: ¿A quién se lo dieron? Y ¿Por qué?

-BAMBINO GESU': ATTIVO PRIMO AMBULATORIO ATTENZIONE PRECOCE PER UNDER 3 ANNI Per i genitori che ritengono di avere bisogno di un confronto e di un aiuto per la crescita e lo sviluppo del proprio bambino, è nato a Roma, presso il Centro dell'Ospedale Pediatrico Bambino Gesù di San Paolo Fuori le Mura (viale di San Paolo, 15), il primo "Ambulatorio di attenzione precoce al bambino da 0 a 3 anni". È un ambulatorio di prima accoglienza per i genitori e per i bambini piccoli che possono avere problemi di sviluppo emotivo e del comportamento, che manifestino appena dopo la nascita disagi legati all'alimentazione, al ritmo veglia/sonno, difficoltà ad essere consolati o a interagire con chi li circonda. -TEAM ITALIANO SCOPRE L'INTERRUTTORE DEL SONNO PROFONDO Dormendo si impara e ora, grazie alla ricerca italiana, si potra' capire perche'. Un team multidisciplinare del Dipartimento Nbt (Neuroscience and Brain Technologies) dell'Istituto italiano di tecnologia di Genova, in un lavoro pubblicato su 'Nature Neuroscience', ha svelato infatti il microcircuito cerebrale che agisce come un interruttore per le onde cerebrali lente prodotte durante il sonno profondo. "La scoperta - spiega l'Iit - e' fondamentale per chiarire, all'interno della complessita' del cervello, quali circuiti sottendono al processo di consolidamento delle informazioni e alla loro trasformazione in ricordi a lungo termine durante il sonno". -RICERCA: UE ASSEGNA 680 MLN A 302 SCIENZIATI ECCELLENTI, 15 ITALIANI Il Consiglio europeo della ricerca (Cer) assegnera' 680 milioni di euro a 302 ricercatori di fama in 24 Paesi europei, nell'ambito dell'ultimo bando per l'assegnazione delle sue sovvenzioni per ricercatori esperti (advanced grants). Tra i ricercatori che hanno ottenuto i finanziamenti del Cer ci sono anche 15 italiani. Grazie a sovvenzioni fino a 2,5 milioni di euro per progetto, il finanziamento consente agli scienziati e ai loro collaboratori di sviluppare le proprie idee innovative, spesso alle frontiere del sapere. I progetti selezionati riguardano una grande varieta' di temi. -DA DOPPIA ELICA A QUADRUPLA, NOVITA' SU DNA A 60 ANNI DA SCOPERTA Nel 1953 James Watson e Francis Crick alzarono il velo sul codice della vita scoprendo la struttura a doppia elica del Dna, che 9 anni dopo, nel '62, valse a loro e al collega Maurice Wilkins il premio Nobel per la Medicina. Ora, nell'anno in cui si celebra il 60esimo anniversario di quel successo, dallo stesso ateneo che lo ha partorito arriva un'altra grossa novita' sul Dna. E' un passo avanti che gli autori dello studio, condotto nell'universita' inglese di Cambridge e finanziato da Cancer Research UK, definiscono su 'Nature Chemistry' "una vera pietra miliare" del progresso scientifico.
