Biotechnology es un podcast en español (con nombre en inglés, porque el nombre de "Biotecnología" ya estaba ocupado) que trata temas científicos de la biotecnología biomédica, alimentaria, vegetal, ambiental y todas las demás ramas, desde una perspectiva sencilla, divertida, eficaz, eficiente, efervescente... Dirigido por los ingenieros en biotecnología Ramón Mendoza Franco y Luis Angel Galicia Rincón, trataremos de llevarte cada lunes un capítulo nuevo para que te diviertas y aprendas un nuevo dato sobre el mundo de la ciencia, además de esporádicos clips de temas variados entre ...

The Internet and smartphone are just the latest in a 250-year-long cycle of disruption that has continuously changed the way we live, the way we work, and the way we interact. The coming Augmented Age, however, promises a level of disruption, behavioral shifts, and changes that are unparalleled. While consumers today are camping outside of an Apple store waiting to be one of the first to score a new Apple Watch or iPhone, the next generation of wearables will be able to predict if we're likely to have a heart attack and recommend a course of action.

Could extinct species, like mammoths and passenger pigeons, be brought back to life? The science says yes. In How to Clone a Mammoth, Beth Shapiro, evolutionary biologist and pioneer in "ancient DNA" research, walks listeners through the astonishing and controversial process of de-extinction.

The Singularity Paradox: Bridging the Gap Between Humanity and AI is a comprehensive exploration of how the fusion of biology, neuroscience, and artificial intelligence can lead to the creation of Artificial Human Intelligence (AHI) as a conscious response to the unconscious development of superintelligence.

Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News (GEN) has retained its position as the premier biotech publication since its launch in 1981. GEN publishes a print edition monthly and has additional exclusive editorial content online, including news and analysis as well as webinars, videos, and polls. GEN's unique news and technology focus covers the entire bioproduct life cycle, including drug discovery, early-stage R&D, applied research (e.g., omics, biomarkers, and diagnostics), bioprocessing, and commercialization.GEN's print magazine, which also can easily be accessed online, includes feature ...

From the Siberian permafrost to balmy California, scientists across the globe are working to resurrect all kinds of extinct animals, from ones that just left us to those that have been gone for many thousands of years. Their tools in this hunt are both fossils and cutting-edge genetic technologies. Some of these scientists are driven by sheer curiosity; others view the lost species as a powerful weapon in the fight to preserve rapidly changing ecosystems. It seems certain that these animals will walk the earth again, but what world will that give us? And is any of this a good idea?

Humanity has reached a critical moment. Our world is unsettled and rapidly changing, and we face existential risks over the next century. Various outcomes - good and bad - are possible. Yet our approach to the future is characterized by short-term thinking, polarizing debates, alarmist rhetoric, and pessimism. In this short, exhilarating book, renowned scientist and best-selling author Martin Rees argues that humanity’s prospects depend on our taking a very different approach to planning for tomorrow.

What is life? Humans have been asking this question for thousands of years. But as technology has advanced and our understanding of biology has deepened, the answer has evolved. For decades, scientists have been exploring the limits of nature by modifying and manipulating DNA, cells, and whole organisms to create new ones that could never have previously existed on their own.

Ein Blick durch das Schlüsselloch der Forschungslabore und Hightech-Firmen: Woran sie arbeiten, was sie planen, was jetzt schon möglich ist. Spitzenforscher sind sich einig: Auch mit Mitte 90 noch fit zu sein, kann Standard werden. Und 120 Jahre Leben wird für viele Menschen erreichbar – schon für die jetzt geborenen Generationen. Doch was müssen wir tun, um nicht nur länger zu leben, sondern auch länger gesund zu bleiben? Thomas Schulz, langjähriger SPIEGEL-Korrespondent im Silicon Valley, hat mit Konzernchefs und Spitzenforscherinnen, AI-Koryphäen und Medizinerinnen gesprochen.

Aus dem Silicon Valley kommt die nächste Revolution, die unser Leben radikal verändern wird: die Neuerfindung der Medizin. Technikriesen wie Google und Microsoft aber auch unzählige Start-ups entwickeln eine datenbasierte, digitale Computer-Medizin, die perfekt auf den einzelnen Patienten zugeschnitten ist und unseren Umgang mit Krankheiten radikal verändern wird. Spektakuläre neue Therapien und hochwirksame Medikamente sollen uns ein gesünderes, deutlich längeres Leben bescheren. Thomas Schulz verfügt über exklusive Einblicke in die geheimen Forschungslabors der Gesundheitsbranche.

Este é um audiolivro de agricultura para filósofos e um audiolivro de filosofia para agricultores. Como nenhum de nós pode se abster de pensar ou de comer, todos deveríamos ser filósofos e agricultores em alguma medida. Sintropia é a tendência expressa pela vida de acumular e organizar energia, ou seja, uma força complementar à entropia.

ウイルス学者は、ウイルスを作り出すことができます。感染細胞から、ウイルスのタンパク質の設計図が書いてあるDNAをとってきて、それをプラスミドという大腸菌内の環状DNAに入れて増殖させるのです。

It's the ultimate technology: nanotechnology - the attempt to build ordinary objects from the atoms up, molecule by molecule. So named because its building blocks are the smallest pieces of matter, nanotechnology will give us complete control over the structure of matter, allowing us to build any substance or structure permitted by the Laws of Nature. Placing atoms as if they were bricks, nano-machines could turn grass clippings into prime sirloins - directly, without cows.

This scientific writing, which was considered to be the groundwork of evolutionary biology, presented the theory that species developed over a line of originations through a method of natural selection. It imparted evidence that the variety of life resulted from a common descent via a branching model of evolution.

‘Translating Proteomics’ explores the science of proteomics and its growing impact on biological research, biomarker discovery, drug development, food and energy security, and a range of other timely topics. Hosts Parag Mallick Ph.D. and Andreas Huhmer Ph.D. of Nautilus Biotechnology aim to share their perspectives on important issues in proteomics, deepen your love of science, and prompt you to question assumptions about what may be possible.

In The Decision Tree, Thomas Goetz proposes a new strategy for thinking about health, one that applies cutting-edge technology and sound science to put us at the center of the equation. An individuals Decision Tree begins with genomics, where $400 and a test tube of spit provides a peek at how your DNA influences your health. It taps self-monitoring and collaborative health tools, where iPhone applications and next-generation monitoring gadgets can help individuals successfully change their behavior, once and for all.

Few people know much about stem cell research beyond the ethical questions raised by using embryos. But in the last decade, stem cell research has made huge advances toward eliminating some of our most intractable diseases. Now this sweeping and accessible book introduces us to this cutting-edge science, which will revolutionize medicine and change the way we think about and treat disease.
