From medieval knights to face shields, humans are pretty big fans of armor. But it turns out that other organisms use armor, too! Except sometimes, their armor doesn’t look like anything we’d expect. Hosted by: Rose Bear Don't Walk

Viruses have a bad reputation -- but some of them could one day save your life, says biotech entrepreneur Alexander Belcredi. In this fascinating talk, he introduces us to phages, naturally-occurring viruses that hunt and kill harmful...

From medieval knights to face shields, humans are pretty big fans of armor. But it turns out that other organisms use armor, too! Except sometimes, their armor doesn’t look like anything we’d expect.

Although early scientists knew heredity came from within organisms, they couldn't initially identify the genetic material until pivotal experiments like those of Griffith and later Hershey and Chase. In 1952, Hershey and Chase used...

Bacteria hate viruses called bacteriophages, and rightfully so. These viruses are vicious! They make bacteria their hosts and create multiple copies in a process called lytic cycle. In this video, we will do a quick review of the main...

Antibiotic overuse and misuse is driving resistance in bacteria. Without new therapeutic tools, we could by 2050 see 10 million deaths annually from “superbug” infections. Co-hosts Alok and Sheena explore how phage therapy and other...

There are two main types of pathogens we will be focusing on in this series. The first was bacteria, and we just wrapped up a good amount of information on those. The next is viruses. These little things are much tinier than bacteria,...
