Our Solar System and Others Not So Like It
on: Carnegie Institution
Understanding the mechanisms for planet-building compels us to look out to young stars. The leftovers from star formation are the raw materials for planets, and in young solar systems astronomers look for analogues of our own early Solar System. Hear how astronomers learn about nascent planetary systems and the processes that sculpt them.

Bill Stone
Leader, US Deep Caving Team
Journey Towards the Center of the Earth
on: Google TechTalks
While truly known only to a handful of teams worldwide, the last -- and arguably the most technologically and psychologically challenging -- terrestrial frontier is being systematically explored in our time: that of extraordinarily deep cave systems. And, like the original exploration of the Poles, and the race to climb Everest, there is a quiet, yet spirited competition now to explore the once-and-for-all-time deepest natural abyss on Earth.

Replikin genome sequences and survival rates in shrimp and human pandemics
on: Replikins Ltd.
Dr. Bogoch spoke at the World Aquaculture Conference in San Antonio, giving some background on his company's Replikins technology and announcing test results in conjunction with the University of Arizona. These results correlate virulence of four Taura virus strains in shrimp with the concentration of Replikin subsequences in the virus genomes. This is the first virus protein structure to have been shown to be quantitatively relate not only to the occurrence of epidemics, but now specifically to mortality rate of the host.
