So here is a list of some of the podcasts we at TheBiotech10 are listening to, to keep up to date with the biotechnology space.   

The Talking Biotech Podcast


Dr. Kevin Folta, the host of this podcast, is a professor of the horticultural sciences department at the University of Florida. This weekly podcast provides science based discussions on the current topics within biotech. The guests Dr. Folta brings on describe the current issues within the biotechnology space and often the solutions behind them. There is also a segment dedicated to plant genetic improvement from domestication through the today's breeding efforts. This guest based podcast is a must listen for those interested in the Biotechnology space.

The Bio Report


The Bio Report is a weekly podcast, hosted by Daniel Levine. Levine is a well-known life sciences business journalist based in the US. The podcast provides an insight on the current trends in the intersection of biotechnology, business and policy. Certain episodes do take a deep-dive into specific topics, while others offer more of a general overview, in highlighting specific companies and areas to watch for the year.

Cell Culture Dish

 
This podcast, brings its listeners interviews with biotechnology industry professionals, talking about the most recent advances in the world of cell culture. Brandy Sargent, the host of the podcast, touches on the many challenges the biotech industry faces, from early stages of research to market-approved products, and the ways in which experts are navigating them.

Genetic Engineering in Agriculture: the Good and the Bad

Genetic engineering is the intersection of technology and nature in an attempt to create the best possible outcome. The process of genetic engineering alters the structure of genes through direct manipulation of an organisms genetic material. DNA is either added or removed, this process produces traits, that weren't found in the organism before the engineering. Genetic material has revolutionized agriculture in a way that cannot take place naturally or with selective breeding.  Gene editing also allows for herbicide resistant plants. It also produces plants with a resistance to infestations or droughts. The main benefit of GMO crops is how it impacts people, allowing more people to enjoy meals, without having to worry about certain environmental factors, due to increased crop yields, from hardier crops. The pros of genetic engineering in agriculture heavily relies on this. However, a small population are looking into the dangerous propositions of this technology.  The technolo...

What Can CRISPR Do?

CRISPR is a revolutionary gene-editing tool that has taken the scientific community by storm. Here is a list of 5 interesting ways CRISPR has been used, outside of the medical field. 1. Hercules the Super-dog The world's first genetically engineered dog Hercules, was created by Chinese scientists to have the gene myostatin turned off. Myostatin regulates the amount of muscle fibers produces, and without this break, the body doesn't know when to stop. How do you feel about designer pets? 2. Gender Reassignment of Mosquitos  Researches from a lab in Blacksburg, Virginia, have identified the gene responsible for gender determination. Using CRISPR they then played around with gender within mosquito populations.  This work actually has a very serious motivation. Only female mosquitos can bite and transmit diseases, therefore the researchers in the lab are trying to build up large populations of sterile male mosquitos to release into the wild. This has the potential to dramatically ...
