Space Exploration: The Final Frontiers in Healthcare

It's medicine...but not as we know it, Jim.

On Thursday 16th February, Alice and Kali attended an event discussing healthcare...in space! The event was run by ReThinkX and held at Citylabs in Manchester, just across from Whitworth Park. We heard about the event from the School of Biological Sciences newsletter, which, as students at the School of Biological Sciences, is automatically sent to our student email addresses.

The event began with a rather lovely selection of teapig teas (I, Kali, am a big tea fan...) and coffee, before hearing from the four speakers. Click the links to read our summary of their talks.

The TAS2R38 Gene, PCR, Enzyme Restriction, Gel Electrophoresis, and Scientific Bias

An Introduction In this post, I'm going to talk about an experiment we performed to examine alleles of the TAS2R38 gene. I also want to talk about the results I expected, why I expected them, and why this bias was incorrect. For that, I need to begin by talking about race. On a genetic level, race doesn't exist, or, at least, it's very, very different to how it works on a social level. People from Africa are the most racially diverse, and differ from each other more than, say, someone from England and someone from India do, on a genetic level. That's due to the founder effect; only a small portion of the population of Africa left to populate the rest of the world, representing only a tiny fraction of humanity's genome. The DNA of human beings, in general, is really not all that different. For more info, take a look at A Brief History of Everyone Who Ever Lived by Adam Rutherford . And yet, even knowing that, it made me happy that the author is the s

Terry Pratchett, Alzheimers, and the Smoking Gnu

Who was Terry Pratchett? Sir Terry Pratchett died two years ago today , at the age of sixty-six. He had been diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's disease eight years before and campaigned for the right to assisted suicide and Alzheimer's awareness. Over £40,000 was raised for The Research Institute for the Care of Older People following the announcement of his death. He was Britain's best-selling author, only temporarily eclipsed by JK Rowling. "The space between the young readers eyeballs and the printed page is a holy place and officialdom should trample all over it at their peril." Sir Pterry's - and I'll explain that nickname in a moment - first novel was The Carpet People , published in 1971, when he was 23. The first of his novels that I read was Only You Can Save Mankind , when I was ten-years-old, in 1999. A year or two later I read the first Discworld novel, The Colour of Magic , and Jingo , the latter purely because it was

Kali's Notes on "How to Write and Publish an Academic Paper"

In preparing for the start of second year, I (Kali) spent part of my time in completing various MOOCs - free, online courses. This was both to increase knowledge and to get back into the habit of studying regularly before the semester actually starts. Below are my notes from the Coursera online course How to Write and Publish a Scientific Paper , designed by Phd students from the French University, École Polytechnique . The course is presented in English and is split over four weeks, with approximately 2 hours work expected for each week. You can access the entire thing at any time, so you could do it in a day if you wanted to. There is a paid option, if you want to get a certificate of completion, but that's definitely not necessary. While MOOCs are useful for building up skills, they can vary so much in what it takes to earn a grade and the general quality that they don't indicate anything very useful when you put them on a CV . It's much more useful to learn a
