In this episode of the Epigenetics Podcast, we talked with Dr. Frank Johannes from the Technical University of Munich in Freising about his work on evolutionary clocks and epigenetic inheritance in plants. In this episode we discuss Dr. Johannes pursuits in understanding how heritable epigenetic variations, particularly through DNA methylation, affect phenotypic diversity in plants. He shared insights about groundbreaking research initiatives he has led, including one of the first population epigenetic studies in plants that effectively linked heritable DNA methylation changes to critical traits like flowering time and root length. This work underscored the importance of epigenetic factors that extend beyond traditional genetic sequences, illustrating a significant shift in how we comprehend inheritance and trait variation in organisms. As we dug deeper into the science, we examined Dr. Johannes's innovative approaches to studying chromatin-based mechanisms of genome regulation, allowing for a nuanced understanding of epigenetic inheritance. His lab's extensive phenotyping of Arabidopsis plants highlighted how inducing heritable variations in DNA methylation could lead to significant trait outcomes – results that have substantial implications for agriculture and understanding complex characteristics across generations. The dialogue continued to unravel the dynamics between forward and backward epimutations, delving into their heritable nature and their rapid accumulation compared to traditional genetic mutations. Dr. Johannes overturned conventional understanding by presenting epigenetic processes that are not as static as once thought, providing compelling evidence that these spontaneous changes could inform evolutionary clocks; a concept that offers new avenues for studying the relationships between species over relatively short timeframes. Moreover, we discussed the exciting concept of epigenetic clocks, which play a role in assessing the age of various species, including trees. The potential applications for such clocks in environmental management and the assessment of tree vitality further illuminated the practical impacts of Dr. Johannes's research. These insights also pave the way for sophisticated non-invasive methods of understanding plant biology, which can revolutionize forest management practices in the face of climate change and other ecological pressures.   References Colomé-Tatché M, Cortijo S, Wardenaar R, Morgado L, Lahouze B, Sarazin A, Etcheverry M, Martin A, Feng S, Duvernois-Berthet E, Labadie K, Wincker P, Jacobsen SE, Jansen RC, Colot V, Johannes F.

Postprocessing is a necessary part of the additive manufacturing (AM) workflow in almost every instance, because 3D printing alone rarely yields a finished part ready for use. Depending on the materials and processes they choose, AM adopters have to account for depowdering, curing, heat treat, cleaning, dyeing, tumbling, machining and many other post-print operations. Coupled with the high-mix, low-volume production typical in AM, such steps are difficult to automate or optimize — leading many companies to develop innovative and often secretive internal processes.   In this episode of AM Radio, Stephanie Hendrixson, Peter Zelinski, Jessica Pompili and Jodee McElfresh share examples of how additive manufacturers solve their varied postprocessing challenges and seek to answer some of the questions around these critical steps.   Thanks to listeners who sent questions, left comments or lent their expertise to this episode, including Matt Havekost, Rick Beddoe, Miguel Valenzuela, Konstantin Rybalcenko, Rey Chu, John Whalen and those who responded anonymously.   Find photos, related links and the transcript for this episode on AdditiveManufacturing.Media.   This episode is brought to you by Additive Manufacturing Media.

January is a unique time of year. It signifies a fresh slate and new beginnings. It's also cold and snowy, and it presents the perfect opportunity to slow down after the hustle and bustle (and perhaps overindulgence) that the Christmas season sometimes brings. For some (including Joe), it may also mean giving up alcohol and becoming healthier.In this week's episode of the Craft Parenting Podcast, Joe and Caroline dive into the history of Dry January, list some of the options that are available, and discuss some of the benefits and drawbacks.Remember, if you are participating in Dry January this year, you can still support your favorite Craft Breweries, even if you aren't drinking. Many places offer food and non-alcoholic options.What We Are DrinkingJoeNA HellesWeihenstephanerFreising, GermanyABV: 0.5%"Particularly at the beer garden or on a hot summer's day at the lake, our non-alcoholic Original Helles pairs well with simple meals or a hearty salad – a refreshing alternative anytime.

On this special, year-end episode of Translating Proteomics, hosts Parag Mallick and Andreas Huhmer discuss three of their favorite proteomics publications from 2024. They'll cover one paper in each of the following topic areas:Proteomics in pre-clinical researchProteomics in basic researchTechnology development in proteomicsSynopses of each of the papers can be found below and you can find many more insights in the podcast.Decrypting the molecular basis of cellular drug phenotypes by dose-resolved expression proteomicsIn this work from Professor Bernhard Kuster's Lab at the Technical University of Munich, researchers assess protein abundance changes that result from treating Jurkat acute T cell leukemia cells with 144 drugs over five drug doses. The researchers use their proteomic data to generate millions of dose response curves for the thousands of proteins measured and discover that the drugs impact many more proteins and pathways than those identified as drug targets. In addition, they checked how 7 of the drug treatments impacted the transcriptome and found there was often discordance between impacts at the mRNA level and the protein level. This works highlights the many ways drugs can impact biological systems and suggests that similar studies will help researchers understand the effects of drug treatments and may even aid in the development of more effective or more specific therapies.Find the publication here.Natural proteome diversity links aneuploidy tolerance to protein turnoverAs we discussed on a previous episode of Translating Proteomics, genome alterations often fail to faithfully propagate to the proteome. In this work, researchers from the labs of Professor Judith Berman at Tel Aviv University and Professor Markus Ralser at the Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin, investigate the means through which yeast strains adapt chromosome gains or losses (aneuploidy). They assess the concordance between changes in mRNA and protein expression in aneuploid yeast that were either found in nature or generated in the lab. The researchers observed dosage compensation, a tendency to return to expression levels associated with normal chromosome numbers, for both mRNAs and proteins expressed on aneuploid chromosomes. However, dosage compensation was much stronger at the protein level than the mRNA level and even stronger at the protein level in naturally aneuploid strains compared to lab-generated strains. This work suggests that multiomics efforts are necessary to determine the effects of genomic alterations. In addition, the authors find that protein degradation, as observed through increased ubiquitination, increased turnover of proteins encoded in aneuploid chromosomes, and the up regulation of the proteasome complex, is a key means of dosage compensation. Finally, because the naturally aneuploid strains achieved a higher a level of dosage compensation than the lab-generated strains, the authors suggest there has been selection for natural aneuploid strains that down-regulate proteins causing detrimental effects.

What the dinosaurs left behind tells the story of their rise to dominanceBones aren't the only thing we can use to understand the dinosaurs. A new study of a rich trove of fossilized feces and vomit is telling the story of how dinosaurs diversified and came to dominate the planet starting 230 million years ago. Paleontologist Martin Qvarnström from Uppsala University in Sweden said it appears that the secret to dinosaurs' success is in their ability to adapt to their changing environment. Their research is published in the journal Nature. A new kind of ‘walking' shorts could help with mobilityScientists have incorporated artificial tendons and electric motors into shorts to provide support and assistance to the hip flexor muscles that are critical for walking. In both young and old people the shorts improved performance and so could make a difference for those whose mobility has been compromised. Enrica Tricomi, a visiting researcher at the Technical University of Munich, co-developed this prototype. The study was published in the journal Nature.Shining a bright light on a new way to discourage shark attacksSharks attacks on humans are often a result of mistaken identity, when they mistake a swimming human or a surfboard for a seal or sea lion. Researchers have found that a bright patterns of LED lights can break up the visual pattern of a swimmer so that they look less like a shark's usual prey. Dr. Lucille Chapuis was part of the team that tested various patterns of lights in Seal Island, South Africa. Their research was published in Current Biology.Different species of humans walked side-by-side in Africa millions of years agoPreserved footprints near a lakeshore in Kenya show that two species of early humans, Homo erectus and Paranthropus boisei, shared the same watering hole 1.5 million years ago. This is the first direct evidence of two species of hominids sharing the same space at the same time.Dr. Kevin Hatala, professor of Biology at Chatham University, and his team's findings are in the journal Science. We no longer know how to make humans live longer – only betterHuman lifespan lengthened amazingly in the 20th century, thanks to reductions in infant mortality, improvements in public health, and successes against infectious disease. But according to a new study by S. Jay Olshansky, those gains have started to flatline in recent years. By looking at the countries with the longest lifespans, Olshansky and his colleagues found that we have traded childhood diseases for age-related diseases like cancers and Alzheimer's, and so we shouldn't expect to make many more gains in human lifespan using our current methods. Instead, he says, we should focus on improving the quality of the extra years we've gained so far. His work was published in the journal Nature Aging.We also speak with William Mair, a Professor of Molecular Metabolism at the Harvard School of Public Health. He is part of a new field of study called Geroscience, which looks at slowing down the process of aging as a whole. In his lab he has been able to extend the lifespan of simpler creatures like nematode worms and mice, and says while we have no proof we can extend a human's maximum lifespan at this time, that doesn't mean it won't be possible in the future.

Measured by distance and speed, today North Americans move more than ever. Movement, however, is but a means to an end; more movement is not in itself beneficial. Movement is a cost of meeting daily needs, and provided these needs are met, less movement is generally advantageous. Nevertheless, since the 1930s traffic engineers have pursued movement maximization in North American cities as if movement is an end in itself, and even as if movement is in itself freedom. The human costs have included unbearable burdens measurable as financial, health, safety, equitability, livability and environmental costs. Together these burdens impair human autonomy; that is, by constraining people's choices about where and how to live, they diminish freedom. Automobility, promoted as a deliverer of freedom, has instead imposed car dependency, a kind of unfreedom. Paradoxically, many engineers now pursue so-called “autonomous” (robotic) driving, promising thereby to sustain unsustainable quantities of movement, when the sole worthy end of movement is not machine but human autonomy. To escape the traps that these errors set for us, we must trace them to their origins. Though engineering is defined as applied science, history reveals that the origins and persistence of prevailing traffic engineering principles lie not in scientific research but in power politics, and that such principles have more in common with religious dogmas than with natural laws. Far more practical possibilities await us when we escape the confines these dogmas impose on us and recognize movement as a secondary good that serves us only as it contributes to human autonomy.

Florian Bauer is an internationally sought-after expert and speaker on the subject of price psychology and behavioral pricing. He is an honorary professor at the Technical University of Munich and author of several books on price research. He also has a doctorate in Psychology at TU Darmstadt, MIT, and Harvard. In this episode, Florian talks about how discounts can give you short-term gain but cost you long-term. He underscores that there are other means to incentivize customers without diminishing a products' value perception. And that cashback is one thing to consider other than discounts. He also talks about buyers' irrationalities and how to use Behavioral Economics to influence their decision-making and let it work in your favor.   Why you have to check out today's podcast: Learn about the psychology of price structure and how it influences consumers' buying behavior Find out what you can, what you should, and what you should not do when giving a discount  Learn how Behavioral Economics can help you influence buyers' decision-making and maximize your company's profit    “If you want to price or sell something, you have to think in two dimensions. You have to think about what people want. That's the traditional value-based approach. And you have to think in the dimension of how they decide.”   - Florian Bauer   Topics Covered: 01:28 - How Florian got started in Pricing 02:25 - What the psychology of price structure is all about 03:22 - What a price structure looks like 04:12 - What's the psychology behind using cashback than just lowering the price 06:03 - How do discounts differ from cashback 07:39 - The feeling of disconnect with cashback 08:20 - Cashback being an icing on the cake that can potentially make you feel more decided about your choice 10:02 - What's the disadvantage of discounting 11:36 - What behavioral economics means for pricing 16:15 - Different people behave differently when it comes to decision irrationalities 18:00 - His thoughts on the ethical issue about Behavioral Economics 23:22 - What is Behavioral Economics showing us and why this works in the B2B world 25:38 - How heuristics simplify complex decisions 29:35 - Florian's best pricing advice that can significantly impact your business   Key Takeaways: “Never ever give a discount without anything the customer has to give in return.” - Florian Bauer  “That's the issue with discounting. It really works very well short-term. So, you have to gain short term, but you have to cost long-term.” - Florian Bauer  “If I want to sell somebody something, I need to know what he wants, or she wants, and I need to adapt my sales approach and my pricing model, potentially, to how he decides.” - Florian Bauer “For me, the purpose of marketing, pricing, and sales is to influence decisions. So, there is no reason to have a marketing campaign or a marketing team if you would not have the idea that I can influence my customers' decision in my favor.” - Florian Bauer “I think when we talk about value and price acceptance, it's very much a story. And there is not one story better than another one. People hate to make decisions, they want to be made decided and with some stories, they are quicker in deciding than in others.” - Florian Bauer “Think about that you're not only selling value; you're also managing decisions. If you keep that in mind when you design your pricing model, you also avoid the traditional clash between pricing and sales because you're also able to tell your salespeople how they can actually execute your pricing strategy to make the customers actually follow the decision or the directions you want them to.” - Florian Bauer   Resources / People Mentioned: Daniel Kahneman: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Kahneman   Connect with Florian Bauer: Email: florian.bauer@vocatus.de LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/profdrflorianbauer/   Connect with Mark Stiving:   Email: mark@impactpricing.com    LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stiving/  

Evidence supports that dysfunction in the homeostasis of iron and other elements likely contributes to the pathophysiological mechanisms of Parkinson's disease, but we have yet to develop suitable elemental biomarkers for use in diagnosing and monitoring the progression of Parkinson's disease. Dr. Paul Lingor discusses his work in this area to identify patterns of bioelements in CSF that could serve as PD biomarkers. Beyond CSF, he is also examining tear fluid as a potential biomarker source that is easier to collect. In addition to work on biomarkers, Paul has been involved in developing and evaluating new treatments for Parkinson's disease. In this episode, he discusses an ongoing phase II clinical trial evaluating the ROCK inhibitor Fasudil, as well as research examining combinations of advanced therapies for people with later-stage Parkinson's disease. Paul is Professor of Neurology at the Technical University of Munich and head of the outpatient clinics for motor neuron disease and co-head of the outpatient clinics for Parkinson's disease.This podcast is geared toward researchers and clinicians. If you live with Parkinson's or have a friend or family member with PD, listen to The Michael J. Fox Foundation Parkinson's Podcast. Hear from scientists, doctors and people with Parkinson's on different aspects of life with the disease as well as research toward treatment breakthroughs at https://www.michaeljfox.org/podcasts.

This podcast episode is all about semantic search and using embeddings to analyse text and social media data. Dominik Weckmüller, a researcher at the Technical University of Dresden, talks about his PhD research, where he looks at how to analyze text with geographic references.  He explains hyperloglog and embeddings, showing how these methods capture the meaning of text and can be used to search big databases without knowing the topics beforehand. Here are the main points discussed: Intro to Semantic Search and Hyperloglog: Looking at social media data by counting different users talking about specific topics in parks, while keeping privacy in mind. Embeddings and Deep Learning Models: Turning text into numerical vectors (embeddings) to understand its meaning, allowing for advanced searches. Application Examples: Using embeddings to search for things like emotions or activities in parks without needing predefined keywords. Creating and Using Embeddings: Tools like transformers.js let you make embeddings on your computer, making it easy to analyze text. Challenges and Innovations: Talking about how to explain the models, deal with long texts, and keep data private when using embeddings. Future Directions: The potential for using embeddings with different media (like images and videos) and languages, plus the ongoing research in this fast-moving field.

Over the past 30 years, Greece has lost some 250 square kilometers of its beaches. This is expected to rise as climate change and rising temperatures continue to push up sea levels. Experts warn Greece is in the “red zone” because measures to stabilize the country's beaches are long overdue. Costas Synolakis, a professor of civil and environmental engineering at the Technical University of Crete and the University of Southern California and a preeminent authority on the impact of natural hazards, joins Thanos Davelis to look at what coastal erosion means not just for Greece's shores, but also for the Greeks living in coastal communities, and break down what steps Greece can take.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Greece in the ‘red zone' of coastal erosion, warns expert'Unprecedented': Why Hezbollah threatened to attack CyprusHezbollah head threatens Cyprus in televised addressSummer wildfires plague Greece and Turkey.
