That's one of the most profound insights to come out of the historical study of complex institutions

like the folks in my hometown of Chicago (Laughter) fail to develop fatty liver, which is a major medical problem.

He worked out of Harvard.

He worked out of Harvard.

What you're looking at over here is actually the first unit that I know of of non human currency.

I'll be at my office if you need me.

The Laboratory

All of it? The research, the blogs.

So, we can study the role of commensal microbes by raising mice as completely germ free and recolonizing them with whichever microbes are of interest.

Well, if I go to visit my research colleagues around the world working in universities, in medical centers, in pharmaceutical companies

The last thing I'm going to tell you about is a series of projects called Songs You Already Know, where the idea was,

Astrid, let's look up labs in the area that do research with animals and

So building community among those students, very important.

I got my Ph.D. studying honeybee health.

Will you listen to me! I'm working on the virus!

The trial lawyers say, Well, this legal fear makes doctors practice better medicine.

And I did not learn about vulnerability and courage and creativity and innovation from studying vulnerability.

It doesn't really matter if you're in the north, the south, the east, the west.

Investigation and study of nature by observation and reasoning. or the sum of all knowledge obtained through research.

A few years back a group of researchers at University College London brought a bunch of memory champions into the lab.

How many masks do you need?

The laboratory, Wilma.

Merrick Institute.

Crazy house.

Ectoplasmic research.

In the lab.

I'm doing research for an article...

So we got to work.

Doing research.

You only need to store things which are really going to effect movement.

We're learning all the time.

Sandia Laboratories, huh?

Being a scientist.

Blantyre Institute of Psychical Research in Candahar Road.
