Leo Villareal is an artist, but his tools aren't paint and canvas; he manipulates light, color and computer code to create monumental works of public art. In a dazzling talk, he takes us inside his efforts to light up some of the world's...

In the search for the genes that make us human, some of the most important answers were hiding not in the genes themselves, but in what was once considered genomic junk.

Only a handful of Denisovan fossils have been identified. In the absence of actual body fossils, it’s impossible for us to reconstruct their morphology, right?

Our DNA holds thousands of dead genes and we’ve only just begun to unravel their stories. But one thing is already clear: we’re not just defined by the genes that we’ve gained over the course of our evolution, but also by the genes that...

3 billion base pairs is a pretty typical genome size for organisms like us, but there are a few plants and animals with genomes so huge they completely blow this number out of the water. Hosted by: Olivia Gordon

This week in news, a discovery in genetics that was once thought unbelievable, and a parrot so large that it shakes up what we know about avian evolution.

Scientists were able to get molecular information from 1.7 million years old teeth using a new method that could completely change how we study extinct organisms.

Scientists have successfully created synthetic DNA with twice as many base pairs as normal, with potential implications in medicine, data storage, and even understanding how life could evolve elsewhere in the universe.

What do a man, a mushroom, and an elephant have in common? A very long and simple double helix molecule makes us more similar and much more different than any other living thing. But, how does a simple molecule determine the form and...

1, 11, 21, 1211, 111221. These are the first five elements of a number sequence. Can you figure out what comes next? Alex Gendler reveals the answer and explains how beyond just being a neat puzzle, this type of sequence has practical...

Peano arithmetic proves many theories in mathematics but does have its limits. In order to prove certain things you have to step beyond these axioms. Sometimes you need infinity.

3 billion base pairs is a pretty typical genome size for organisms like us, but there are a few plants and animals with genomes so huge they completely blow this number out of the water.

Your genome, every human's genome, consists of a unique DNA sequence of A's, T's, C's and G's that tell your cells how to operate. Thanks to technological advances, scientists are now able to know the sequence of letters that makes up an...

We know whales as graceful giants bound to the sea. But what if we told you there was actually a time when whales could walk.

This video explains the fundamental programming structures of sequences, selections, and loops. Sequences involve completing actions in a specific order, selections make decisions based on questions asked, and loops repeat actions until...

Howcast - Let Alex Skolnick teach you how to shred on guitar in this heavy metal guitar lesson from Howcast.

With only a single deck of cards, keep yourself entertained with this single-person game of strategy.

Pupil outcome: I can use patterns in counting sequences. Key learning points: - Counting patterns and known facts support calculation with millions. - Counting patterns can be represented as addition and subtraction equations. - Missing...

Pupil outcome: I can appreciate the features of an arithmetic sequence and be able to recognise one. Key learning points: - Finding the difference between each term can help you identify different types of sequence. - Sequences with a...

Pupil outcome: I can recognise the features of a quadratic sequence. Key learning points: - A quadratic sequence does not have a common difference. - The second differences between terms are equal.

Pupil outcome: I can find the n^th term formula for a quadratic sequence. Key learning points: - A quadratic sequence does not have a common difference. - The second differences between terms are equal. - The general n^th term formula is...

In this video, we define sequences and establish some common vocabulary to be used in the following videos.
