Cosy Science presents: What you shouldn't forget about Alzheimer's... with Prof John Hardy
Our most complex organ is the brain, it is what makes us who we are. We have to pay the biggest price when something goes wrong; we might lose our memories and lose ourselves with them. John Hardy finds genes which cause neurologic diseases. The best way to look for these is to work closely with families who have high prevalence of brain disease. Once they identify the gene, they can look the position of the mistakes in the gene and reveal the mechanism which might lead to the disease and use the information to screen individuals’ risk of developing it.
John Hardy is the director of the Institute of Neurobiology at U...

From bench to bedside: KATP channels and neonatal diabetes
Royal Society Croonian Lecture
Whether you eat a whole box of chocolates or fast for the day, the pancreatic beta-cells ensure that your blood glucose level remains relatively constant by regulating the release of insulin from the pancreatic beta-cells. Diabetes results when insulin release is inadequate and blood glucose levels chronically rise. This lecture will describe how a membrane protein pore known as the ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channel plays a vitally important role in regulating insulin secretion and show how mutations in KATP channel genes can cause neonatal diabetes, a rare genetic form of diabetes that ...

Wyss Institute: Planes, Trains, Automobiles...and Cells?
Two areas that have always interested Phil LeDuc are the mechanics of machines and the wonders of nature. His interest in mechanics, first beginning as a youth taking apart machines like lawn mowers, has intersected with his fascination with nature at the cellular and molecular levels. Here he will present how his lab has been merging mechanical engineering with biology. His lab approaches this intersection by envisioning cells and molecules as “systems” that can be investigated with some of the same fundamental approaches used on machines such as planes, trains, and automobiles looking for unifying principles.

Cosy Science presents: Repairing the brain with stem cells with Prof Jack Price
The first clinical trial of stem cells for a neurodegenerative disease in the UK is now underway. Does this mean that a new era of regenerative medicine for brain disorders is upon us? Could it also herald the advent of ‘human enhancement’ using stem cell technologies? Or is it possible that neuroscientists don’t really know what they are doing, and just got lucky?

An introduction to climate science
Climate change is a complex issue with far-reaching implications for us all. A broad range of scientific expertise is required to understand it sufficiently to make up one’s own mind about the evidence, the threats and opportunities, and the prudent response. With the IPCC’s assessment of recent scientific advances due at the end of the summer, this course will explain the cornerstones on which climate science is built.
The course will start from the fundamentals of the energy balance of the planet (a story that can be traced back to Tyndall’s experiments at the Royal Institution in the mid-19th Century) ...

At the turn of the 20th century Einstein changed the way we think about time. By the beginning of the 21st his thinking is now shaping one of the key scientific and technological wonders of contemporary life: atomic clocks, the best timekeepers ever made. Nobel Prize winning physicist William Phillips explains how these ultra accurate clocks are still being improved with super cooled atoms – better to than a second in 100 million years.
