This is an approachable explanation of a current frontier in medicine and what could become of it’s rise. “A little over a decade ago… For the first time, patients were cured of disease using genetically engineered cells as a medicine […]
Consider this your friendly reminder that we mostly still have no idea how biology works. “Scientists are learning ever more about how vesicles move in and out of cells and across the complex terrain between them, as well as about […]
“Dr. Gabor Maté is the leading expert on the role the mind-body connection plays in illness and health.” A line that he repeats a few times during this talk stuck with me: “We are biopsychosocial creatures.” Biology, psychology and socio-environmental […]
“Diversity is how we survive as a species. This is a quantifiable fact easily observed in the biological world. From niches to natural selection, diversity is the common theme of success for both the individual and the group.” ~ learn more
“We are at the very beginning of our genomic exploration of the natural world. While many groups are now venturing beyond traditional organisms, our sampling of the biosphere is still incredibly sparse. Extreme Biology aims to accelerate this discovery process—with […]
