Teach Me in 10

For this installment of Teach Me in 10, we are joined by the renowned Professor Robert Langer – the highest cited engineer of all time. Professor Langer is one of 11 Institute Professors at MIT, has written more than 1,500 articles and has over 1,400 issued and pending patents worldwide. Professor Langer's patents have been licensed or sublicensed to over 400 pharmaceutical, chemical, biotechnology and medical device companies. In this video, he talks to us about materials for drug delivery – a focus of the [url][link]https://langerlab.mit.edu/[/link][name]Langer Lab at the MIT Department of Chemical Engineering[/name][/url]. This work is at the interface of biotechnology and materials science and is already changing the drug delivery landscape, particularly considering the "new era" of mRNA vaccines that are helping to fight the battle against COVID-19. How might it influence the future? Professor Langer explains in this Teach Me in 10.

In this installment of Teach Me in 10, we're joined by Clinical Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Psychoanalyst, bestselling author, columnist and podcast host Dr Gail Saltz. Saltz is a go-to expert on several physiological and mental health issues. In her latest book, "The Power of Different: The Link Between Disorder and Genius", Saltz examines the connection between the potential for great talent and conditions that are commonly thought of as "disabilities". Through this examination she reveals how the source of our struggles can actually be the origin of our great strengths.
This topic forms the basis of her Teach Me in 10 installment, which is so insightful that we have split it into two parts for you to enjoy. Part I can be accessed [url]link]https://www.labtube.tv/video/MTA3Nzc4[/link][name]here[/name][/url].

When applying genetics to the study of COVID-19, scientists are learning a lot. Our DNA codes for proteins, some of which are required for SARS-CoV-2 to interact with and infect a host cell, others that are implicated in the downstream effects of viral infection, such as inflammatory responses. But how do scientists choose which genes to study? 

A new study by Dr Thomas Stoeger, a postdoc at North Western University, suggests there is a historical bias involved: scientists are studying human genes that have already been heavily investigated, independent of COVID-19. 
In this installment of Teach Me in 10, Stoeger expands on the key points of this study and the implications of bias in scientific research.

The food on your plate – how often do you think about where it has come from, the journey that it has undergone from production to delivery, to arrive on your plate as a meal? This journey is unique to specific types of foods, and as such, the climate impact of the food on your plate will differ depending on what it is you are eating. For instance, do you know how much a traditional turkey Christmas dinner contributes to climate change? A typical Christmas dinner for six people causes the equivalent of nearly 30 kg of carbon dioxide to be released into the atmosphere. This is equivalent to driving a car for three hours. How can we eat more climate-friendly foods? That's a huge topic of interest for Sarah Bridle, professor in the Physics Department at the University of Manchester. Professor Bridle had been studying dark matter and dark energy for 20 years when she started to think about our own planet, and the next 20 years and beyond. As such, she became committed to helping reduce the climate impact of food and divides her research time between food-related climate change and astrophysics. Sarah has won multiple awards for her work, including a Royal Society University Research Fellowship. Most recently, she published the book Food and Climate Change - Without the Hot Air.

How can plants be utilized in humanity's fight against COVID-19? That's the topic for this week's installment of Teach Me in 10, where we're joined by microbiologist [url][link]https://micro.cornell.edu/people/kathleen-hefferon/[/link][name]Dr Kathleen Hefferon[/name][/url] from Cornell University. When we think about plant-based medicines, often our minds jump to the past, where plants were used as therapies for thousands of years. But advances in modern technology are truly advancing plant-based therapeutics for applications in medicine today for a variety of diseases. In this installment of Teach Me in 10, Dr Hefferon talks us through the concept of plant-based therapeutics and focuses specifically on her research exploring plant-based vaccines for COVID-19.
