Should offensive species names be changed? The organisms honouring dictators, racists and criminals
มุมมอง 58812 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
In episode 1 of What's in a name we look at how species are named, and whether the current system needs to evolve in the face of societal pressure. Categorizing things is central to science. And there are dozens of systems scientists have created to name everything from the trenches on the sea bed to the stars in the sky. But names have consequences - unintended or otherwise. In our new series ...
Targeted mRNA therapy tackles deadly pregnancy condition in mice

00:48 Chemotherapy efficacy varies with the menstrual cycle Breast cancer cells are more susceptible to chemotherapy at certain points in the menstrual cycle, new data in Nature suggests. Researchers studied the equivalent hormonal cycle in mice and found that during the oestrous phase, where progesterone levels are low, tumours are more susceptible to chemotherapy. The same effect was shown in...
Audio long read: AI has dreamt up a blizzard of new proteins. Do any of them actually work?
มุมมอง 93421 วันที่ผ่านมา
AI tools that help researchers design new proteins have resulted in a boom in designer molecules. However, these proteins are being churned out faster than they can be made and tested in labs. To overcome this, multiple protein-design competitions have popped up, with the aim of sifting out the functional from the fantastical. But while contests have helped drive key scientific advances in the ...

Bone marrow in the skull plays a surprisingly important role in ageing
มุมมอง 2.3Kหลายเดือนก่อน
00:46 The role of skull bone marrow in ageing During ageing, bone marrow in the skull becomes an increasingly important site of blood-cell production. This is in stark contrast to most bones where the ability of marrow to make blood and immune cells declines. Studies in mice and humans showed that ageing results in skull bone-marrow expanding, and in mice this marrow was more resistant to infla...

Hi, I completely respect everyone's opinion on the content of this podcast, but I would like to confirm, as the interviewee, that this interview is NOT AI-generated. Just wanted to put this on here, since colleagues, friends and family are tuning in!
terrible
This content sucks. Too long, no visuals, and it’s AI generated. If someone’s gonna make a podcast like this, you might as well keep it on Spotify some other platform

Nope. Carbs don't cause insulin resistance.
This is Nobel Prize level of discovery. It has tremendous potential to unlock the mysteries of cellular biology and cancer and other diseases. It could lead to curing/managing cancer
I'm guessing we are pretty sure smashing nuclei into vapor isn't going to set off a chain reaction that destroys the Universe and more importantly the Earth. What if someone accidentally dropped a penny in front of one of those nucleus smashers? Any chance of an oopsy? 🤔
What we call emotions are salie ce, the perception of an individual organism stimulating motivation. Motivation can, of course, be either further information seeking, sensory, sensorimotor, or motor - the last especially if interpreted by the individual organism's senses as existentially important. Stimuli can be aversive, attractive, resulting in eitther of the two responses, OR mixed, open to eother explorationor
[accidental prepost after typo] or - further exploration/examination. Disinterest arises in animals habituated to an event or other organism, and in the human animal, more focused obsessively on humansirgnaling, ignored even if dangerous or exploitable. And THERE, is description of politicization = "can i use it to improve my social status?" "Does it threaten my social status?" (resources are differentially available, and thus status = access to resources. Danny Kahneman and Amos Tversky noted that humans, like other organisms , are averse more to loss, than attracted to gain. This will give you insight into the ACTUAL meaning of the word politics and politicization.

Why shape makes such a difference to just about everything everywhere at the quantum and classical level and probably beyond. is to me amazing. Thanks for a very informative video.
Mitochondria, microscopic batteries.

Should have just titled this thing " just a bunch of stories." Why did you even bother to pretend to talk about the title story when you only gave about 10 seconds to it? What a bunch of dimwits!
So... it's a chemical analyzer which the put letters "AI" in front of. Ridiculous to call this AI
Come on. It doesn't take "AI" to do this. Why does everything have to be "AI" all of a sudden? I don't buy it.
Because it's universally useable... we just need to train it with other data. No need to change any code.
I wonder if these gamma rays have enough energy to cause nuclear reactions in the atmospheric gasses.

Excellent interview, thanks for this. I learned a lot.
Stop saying climate change deniers are skeptical. They're not. Skepticism is withholding judgement until evidence makes the proper conclusion evident. Climate change deniers make up their minds without and in spite of evidence. That's denial. All the climate change skeptics (like myself) have long since seen the evidence and are concerned about the reality of climate change.
I've been waiting for news on this nuclear atomic clock technology. I remember reading about the theory behind their operation using a Thorium Isomer on Wikipedia. I'm so glad nature published something about it.
It was a joy to listen to a Nobel laureate on ageing. The learning was great. Thank you.

Amazing that today very few people know that 40-50 years ago largely in the Defense, Medical, Test Equipment fields, a great deal of Digital Signal Processing was done with incredibly simple analog processing with Charged Coupled Devices that essntially did convolution and correlation merely by passing the signal down a delay line where the charge buckets could perform 2 multiplications and additions with a single transister, look up Transversal Filters and Power Spectrum CCDs. The early solid state cameras all used CCDs, once they went to CMOS sensors, CCDs were killed off and processing went all in on full digital logic. Most of what goes on in AI neural net processing is nothing more than dot products. Using light will not help AI unless it is talking about analog functions. Today though the semiconductor industry has completely forgotten its roots in efficient computations. See also Carver Meads work in neural processing, all of it in analog.
Thank you, Nature PG! That's perfect for "reading" your briefing in buses and shops 😊

Biology simple. XX, XY. Even if transitioning person. Biochemistry and your test subjects. Targeting kids should be off limits. Pronouns. If they don't want to call me Madter, lord, ect. It shows the hypocrisies and wanted privilege they are pushing. Yes you will have people with sexual preferences. But again kids should be off limits. Grooming puts them in with pedophiles. Not to get into other things hijacked by them lately. But that starts to get into the trash/disposable society. You might want to look into some of the fish species that switch sexes and which ones do. I would say good luck, but your playing with insanity. May you live in interesting times.
Thank you so much Nature Podcast. Useful for my Bioeng grad thesis about protein folding prediction. Greetings from Molecular Biology, E. and Cáncer Research Group (BIMAC), Universidad del Cauca, Colombia.
Just be sure to follow the rules. For plants and non-human animals, you can freely use "male" and "female", and there's no such thing as gender. For humans, you have to say they are "assigned" male or female at birth, because we're only guessing and have no idea what happens after that. They have a "gender", but that can't be defined. And you can't call them "man" or "woman", because that's considered a special state that only they have access to.
