Showing results for "Creating" in Biological Sciences

Hear from scientists working to develop new vaccines and understand immunity to microbial pathogens. Host: Larissa Thackray, Ph.D., Professor of Infectious Diseases

In a fascinating tour of creativity and the brain, Nancy Andreasen, professor of psychiatry at the University of Iowa and the winner of the National Medal of Science, explores how the human brain achieves creative breakthroughs--in art, literature, music, and science--the role of genes and environment, extraordinary creativity vs. ordinary creativity, and the question of genius and insanity.

For decades, alarms have sounded about declining engagement. Yet companies continue to struggle with toxic cultures, and the low productivity and unhappiness that go with them. Why is "culture" so difficult to improve? What makes so many good employees check out? Neuroscientist Paul Zak shows that innate brain functions hold the answers. It all boils down to trust. When someone shows you trust, a feel-good jolt of oxytocin surges through your brain and triggers you to reciprocate.

Imagine a day where you don't just witness the climate crisis—but participate in shaping a better world. This guide can help you take steps to create meaningful action in just five minutes a day.

We all want our cities to be greener, but how does this look in practice and what do we need to get there? The Creating Green Cities podcast takes you on a journey into the world of nature-based solutions and shows how they can be used to bring nature into cities for the benefit of society and the environment alike. We talk to guests from Barcelona, Budapest, Malmö and Utrecht to learn more about the implementation of these urban innovations across Europe. The podcast has been created by the Ecologic Institute (http://ecologic.eu) as part of NATURVATION (http://naturvation.eu), an EU-funded ...

In Faster, Higher, Stronger, veteran journalist Mark McClusky brings listeners behind the scenes with a new generation of athletes, coaches, and scientists whose accomplishments are changing our understanding of human physical achievement and completely redefining the limits of the human body.

In this course, we will discuss the moral aspects of human reproduction. We will discuss various influences on reproduction as well as the scientific advances in reproductive technology. At the end of this course we will not have arrived at answers to the various questions raised, but instead will have provided a base for us to consider the issues at hand and a desire to pursue more study in the important aspects of creating humans.

Parents and parents-to-be are bombarded with information, from what to expect to what to do (and not to do) when it happens. But what they may not realize is that from the chemistry of pregnancy tests to the vacuum physics of breastfeeding, there is fascinating science at the heart of every aspect of creating and raising a new human.
