Podcasts about transgenic

Ben has been on a cruise, and brings back an interesting story on how quickly rumors and conspiracy theories can form in that environment. We pay tribute to Joe Nickell, a truly versatile skeptic and investigator, and go over the Stand Up for Science marches that took place last week. Then we turn to current events wrought by the Trump administration: the kerfuffle over "transgender mice" is more complicated than you think; RFK's faint praise of the MMR vaccine; and the CDC's planned study on vaccines and autism.

Jonny and Heaher take a moment to recognize Heather's 20th Anniversary of being married to Kaye and reflect generally on Marriage Equality. They then lead off with some stories of success in the current less than supportive climate. In the back half of the show, they follow President Trump's transgenic mouse down a hole about the biology and neuroscience validating and explaining the existence of transgender people. They are not surprised that science is as much a target of the current regime as the LGBTQ+ community.

George Knapp – E. Ts & Transgenic Human Creation..An Abductee Speaks Out [Eng] ‪@COASTTOCOASTAMOFFICIAL‬ Bruce Rapuano joined George Knapp to discuss his lifelong experiences with alien abduction and theories about the alien agenda. Rapuano – who holds a Ph.D. in neuropharmacology, and has authored, or coauthored thirty scientific articles in peer-reviewed medical journals – had never discussed his abduction experiences with family or friends before releasing his book. He told Knapp he hoped going public about his own abduction experiences would encourage other scientists who had seen UFOs or been abducted to come forward, and those who hadn't to look at these experiences objectively. Rapuano's experiences included a childhood UFO encounter where he remembered his playmates seeming frozen as he moved around for a better look, but at least one of them remembered him disappearing for a period of time. Rapuano said that many abductees, like himself, report having genetic material collected, which could be used for in vitro fertilization type experiments. He said this doesn't necessarily mean the creation of alien/human hybrids, but could be the editing of human genes, and the creation of transgenic humans. These transgenic humans could then introduce those edited genes into the wider population through natural reproductive means. He also said he believes implants, particularly like the one he has in his nose, are attempts to monitor brain activity and “understand human neurophysiology. [Port] @COASTTOCOASTAMOFFICIAL Bruce Rapuano se juntou a George Knapp para discutir suas experiências de vida com abduções alienígenas e teorias sobre a agenda alienígena. Rapuano — que tem um Ph.D. em neurofarmacologia e é autor ou coautor de trinta artigos científicos em periódicos médicos revisados ​​por pares — nunca havia discutido suas experiências de abdução com a família ou amigos antes de lançar seu livro. Ele disse a Knapp que esperava que tornar públicas suas próprias experiências de abdução encorajasse outros cientistas que tinham visto OVNIs ou sido abduzidos a se apresentarem, e aqueles que não tinham visto a olhar para essas experiências objetivamente. As experiências de Rapuano incluíram um encontro com OVNI na infância, onde ele se lembrava de seus colegas de brincadeira parecendo congelados enquanto ele se movia para ver melhor, mas pelo menos um deles se lembrava dele desaparecendo por um período de tempo. Rapuano disse que muitos abduzidos, como ele, relatam ter material genético coletado, que poderia ser usado para experimentos do tipo fertilização in vitro. Ele disse que isso não significa necessariamente a criação de híbridos alienígenas/humanos, mas poderia ser a edição de genes humanos e a criação de humanos transgênicos. Esses humanos transgênicos poderiam então introduzir esses genes editados na população mais ampla por meios reprodutivos naturais. Ele também disse que acredita que implantes, particularmente como o que ele tem no nariz, são tentativas de monitorar a atividade cerebral e "entender a neurofisiologia humana".

-- There may be an unexpected fix for ongoing shortages of insulin: A brown bovine in Brazil recently made history as the first transgenic cow able to produce human insulin in her milk. "Mother Nature designed the mammary gland as a factory to make protein really, really efficiently," explained study leader Matt Wheeler, a professor of animal sciences at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. "We can take advantage of that system to produce a protein that can help hundreds of millions of people worldwide." --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/arthur-harris0/message

In today's episode I cover two topics with Cameron English, science journalist and podcast host.  We discuss the current status of citrus greening disease in the USA, a disease that has ravaged the Florida juice industry. We also discuss the copious disinformation around seed oils, which many internet sources claim to be dangerous. 

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2023.07.23.550233v1?rss=1 Authors: Ikawa, K., Hiro, S., Kondo, S., Ohsawa, S., Sugimura, K. Abstract: Directional cell rearrangement is a critical process underlying correct tissue deformation during morphogenesis. Although the involvement of F-actin regulation in cell rearrangement has been established, the role and regulation of actin binding proteins (ABPs) in this process are not well understood. In this study, we investigated the function of Coronin-1, a WD-repeat actin-binding protein, in controlling directional cell rearrangement in the Drosophila pupal wing. Transgenic flies expressing Coronin-1-EGFP were generated using CRISPR-Cas9. We observed that Coronin-1 localizes at the reconnecting junction during cell rearrangement, which is dependent on actin interacting protein 1 (AIP1), an actin disassembler and a known regulator of wing cell rearrangement. Loss of Coronin-1 function reduces cell rearrangement directionality and hexagonal cell fraction. These results suggest that Coronin-1 promotes directional cell rearrangement via its interaction with AIP1, highlighting the role of ABPs in the complex process of morphogenesis.

Abstract: Neuron migration is a key phase of neurogenesis, critical for the assembly and function of neuronal circuits. In songbirds, this process continues throughout life, but how these newborn neurons disperse through the adult brain is unclear. We addressed this question using in vivo two-photon imaging in transgenic songbirds that express GFP in young neurons. In juvenile and adult birds, migratory cells were present at a high density, traveled in all directions, and made frequent course changes. Notably, these dynamic migration patterns were well fit by a superdiffusive model. Simulations revealed that these diffusion-like dynamics were sufficient to disperse new neurons throughout the song nucleus HVC. These results suggest that diffusion-like migration may underlie the formation and maintenance of nuclear brain structures in the postnatal brain and indicate that transgenic songbirds are a useful resource for future studies into the mechanisms of adult neurogenesis.

Timestamps: 2:32 - Startups and climate change 11:00 - The impact of food production/distribution 15:53 - Transgenic foods 18:10 - Vertical farming 21:42 - Food packaging About Arman Anatürk: Arman Anatürk is the co-founder of the cleantech fund HackCapital and a founding member at FoodHack, the world's largest foodtech community. He previously worked for companies like CoderCourse and OneRoof Agency. Arman is very enthusiastic about the role cleantech startups can play in successfully navigating climate change, and especially the progress being made by foodtech startups. Some studies estimate that 34% of greenhouse gas emissions come from food production and distribution, and we will soon have 10B people in the world to feed, so this is a very pressing issue. Currently, ⅓ of all food goes to waste, and the plastic used in packaging our food ends up in landfills and in the ocean, contaminating the food we eat with microplastics. New technology will allow us to overcome these issues: plastics are nowadays being developed from algae or mycelium, and techniques like precision fermentation and cultivating meat will soon allow us to enjoy our favorite dishes without the huge expenditure of land and water (and animal suffering) that the current meat farming system requires. Running a cleantech fund himself, Arman encourages other investors to take a bet on these technologies, but warns them that certain industries, like, for instance, foodtech, simply do not adhere well to the 10 year fund cycle, but can nonetheless be successful and provide much needed alternatives. Memorable Quotes: "Foodtech companies can't typically adhere to the 10 year fund cycle, and investors need to understand this."

As the amount of plant genomic DNA sequence increases, scientists have detected DNA sequence information that simply does not conveniently fit into genome assemblies, and clearly appears to be from somewhere else. Dr. Lara Pereira from the University of Sheffield explains the surprising frequency of lateral gene transfer between grass species. The mechanism of crossing the species barrier is discussed, along with the frequency of horizontal transfer. We discuss the ramifications of unregulated integration of DNA into plant genomes and the perception of transgenic plants in the EU and other locations where crop genetic engineering is not viewed favorably. The results also suggest additional care when monitoring gene escape in transgenic grasses like maize.  Follow Dr. Pereira on Twitter at @LarrLarrr

The American chestnut was a dominant tree in many forests in the eastern United States. In the late 1800's an imported fungus spread rapidly throughout the range, destroying most of the trees in a matter of decades. Scientists at the State University of New York have engineered trees to host a gene from wheat that disarms the fungal invader, breaking the production of an acid required for infection. This strategy allows the tree and the fungus to live together without infection. Erik Carlson discusses the problem, the project, the push back and the current deregulation efforts to release the tree in the interest of repatriating its native range.  Read the release docket and provide your comments here -- https://www.regulations.gov/document/APHIS-2020-0030-8291/comment

The process of manipulating the genetic material of one animal to include the DNA of another creates a new transgenic organism. Several animals, notably goats, mice, sheep, and cattle are now genetically modified in this way. In Our Transgenic Future: Spider Goats, Genetic Modification, and the Will to Change Nature (NYU Press, 2022), Lisa Jean Moore wonders what such scientific advances portend. Will the natural world become so modified that it ceases to exist? After turning species into hybrids, can we ever get back to the original, or are they forever lost? Does genetic manipulation make better lives possible, and if so, for whom? Moore centers the story on goats that have been engineered by the US military and civilian scientists using the DNA of spiders. The goat's milk contains a spider-silk protein fiber; it can be spun into ultra-strong fabric that can be used to manufacture lightweight military body armor. Researchers also hope the transgenically produced spider silk will revolutionize medicine with biocompatible medical inserts such as prosthetics and bandages. Based on in-depth research with spiders in Florida and transgenic goats in Utah, Our Transgenic Future focuses on how these spider goats came into existence, the researchers who maintain them, the funders who have made their lives possible, and how they fit into the larger science of transgenics and synthetics. This book is a fascinating story about the possibilities of science and the likely futures that may come. Rachel Pagones is an acupuncturist, educator, and author based in Cambridge, England.

How the debate over genetically modified crops in India is transforming science and politics Genetically modified or transgenic crops are controversial across the world. Advocates see such crops as crucial to feeding the world's growing population; critics oppose them for pushing farmers deeper into ecological and economic distress, and for shoring up the power of agribusinesses. India leads the world in terms of the intensity of democratic engagement with transgenic crops.  In Genetically Modified Democracy: Transgenic Crops in Contemporary India (Yale UP, 2022), anthropologist Aniket Aga excavates the genealogy of conflicts of interest and disputes over truth that animate the ongoing debate in India around the commercial release of transgenic food crops. The debate may well transform agriculture and food irreversibly in a country already witness to widespread agrarian distress, and over 300,000 suicides by farmers in the last two decades. Aga illustrates how state, science, and agrarian capitalism interact in novel ways to transform how democracy is lived and understood, and sheds light on the dynamics of technological change in populous, unequal polities.

India leads the world in terms of the intensity of democratic engagement with transgenic crops.  In Genetically Modified Democracy: Transgenic Crops in Contemporary India (Yale UP, 2022), anthropologist Aniket Aga excavates the genealogy of conflicts of interest and disputes over truth that animate the ongoing debate in India around the commercial release of transgenic food crops. The debate may well transform agriculture and food irreversibly in a country already witness to widespread agrarian distress, and over 300,000 suicides by farmers in the last two decades. Aga illustrates how state, science, and agrarian capitalism interact in novel ways to transform how democracy is lived and understood, and sheds light on the dynamics of technological change in populous, unequal polities.

Russia had started to push Ukraine into corner. Ukraine was begging for the U.S. or N.A.T.O. to intervene. Country after country stayed silent about it. Then that is when Old Man B spoke up and said, “Cornpop was a bad dude. So is Putin. We will send drones to help turn the tides of this, this, you know the thing.” Putin gave the U.S. one final warning not to interfere any further than they have. Both leaders kept threatening back and forth, until…Ukraine's sky filled with American drones.

5) 41 dead in Ebola outbreak in Congo; 4) Terror attack outside Parliament; 3) Judge lets New Mexico jihadis walk on signature bond; 2) FDA buying aborted fetal tissue to create mouse-human hybrids; 1) Giza pyramid focuses EM energy—on paper.

The London Sperm Bank has launched a smartphone app for single women to order up a sperm donor to spec. This is another step closer to making Nazi-like eugenics mainstream. Also: Transgender ‘man' gives birth; Deutsche Bank close to collapse; former Israeli president Shimon Peres dies at 93; Sanhedrin revives 2,000 year old blessing to count Jubilee year; and Friday's 'black moon' causing needless fear.  

Researchers have figured out how to use the CRISPR-Cas9 method to edit your DNA and insert a gene that essentially spies on you. Also: Scientists are reprogramming E. coli to be resistant to all known viruses; AI being programmed to diagnose mental illness; using graphene in quantum computers; and Pokémon Go causes human stampede in Taiwan.
