Showing results for "Fragile Science" in Science & Engineering

Brain diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s affect an estimated one in six Americans and are increasing in incidence as the population ages. In this audiobook, we examine these and other conditions involving the damage and loss of neurons, including other forms of dementia, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), and multiple sclerosis (MS).

Beyond that—and a rarity among genetic disorders—some fragile X carriers not only transmit the mutation, but also experience related conditions themselves.

In many parts of the world, academic freedom is at risk. The live podcasting series “Fragile Freedom” provides a platform for researchers who cannot freely pursue their work in their home countries to share their experiences. Their personal stories can and raise awareness about the challenges to academic freedom and underscore the importance of free research and teaching for democracy.

Une expérience complètement originale ! Sous la forme d'un forum accompagné et animé par Anne Kerléo et Daniel Maciel ou Sœur Élisabeth. Cette émission donne la parole aux plus fragiles, précaires, malades, détenus, isolés, et ouvre un temps de liberté ou les expériences peuvent se partager dans le respect de la parole de chacun. Une émission réalisée avec l’association Participation et Fraternité. Hébergé par Audiomeans. Visitez audiomeans.fr/politique-de-confidentialite pour plus d'informations.
