  • #10- Gene editing CRISPR-Cas9, Coronavirus spilling from bats to humans, COVID-related brain effects
    2020/10/20

    On Episode #10, here are the main topics:

    1. The 2020 Nobel prize in Chemistry was awarded for the discovery of a genetic engineering technique. With all its benefits, the technique has some seriously concerned about its ethical implications.

    2. Studies suggest that coronavirus could lead to neurological illnesses

    3. New research reveals why coronavirus that once lived harmlessly in bats and other wildlife – has become uncontrollable once it jumped the species barrier and entered humans.

  • #8 - COVID vaccine & Megafires
    2020/09/29

    On Episode#8, we talk about COVID vaccine updates, and Mega-Fires across the US

    1. One candidate vaccine fore COVID-19 showed possible neurological sideeffects. What does this mean for the other vaccines in the pipeline currently in Phase 3?

    2 New research explores the reason for the mega-wildfires that has moved across western United Sates.. and what it says about future extreme events moving further throughout the country over time.
