Fisher explains from a great story on recent DNA discoveries. Plus, another big announcement concerning gravestones… this time from Find-A-Grave.com. Fisher also has a great story about a map that shows the increase and decrease in popularity of specific names over the past 90 years. Just put in the name, and watch how it has come and gone, and maybe come again!

Designer Genes: A Conversation about CRISPR Efrain C., Hope J., Maria R., Sanjay A.L. From Mendel to modern laboratories, genome-editing has fascinated the minds of many. Recently, the CRISPR-Cas9 system has been a major advancement in genome editing. Though this newly discovered mechanism has shown the potential to cure life-threatening genetic problems, the novelty of it has caused some concerns over potential ethical violations. Designer Genes is a conversation hosted by four curious biology undergraduates at Emory University that attempts to bridge the gap between scientific knowledge of CRISPR and the general public’s understanding. See website for references. Behind the Genes Genomics England At Genomics England, our vision is a world where everyone benefits from genomic healthcare. From the latest research to the lived experiences of those affected by rare conditions and cancer, Behind the Genes brings you closer to the people behind the science.

Dr Giles Yeo Chews the Fat Orion Publishing Ltd. We tend to reduce food and health to bitesize nuggets of information, like calories or BMI. It’s understandable; numbers are easily digestible when we’re looking for answers or a quick fix. But the thing is, there’s a lot more to health – hey, there’s a lot more to life! – than the numbers you see on the back of a crisp packet or on the scales. Geneticist Dr Giles Yeo feels we need a bit more space to think about the relationship food has with our body, our mind, and even our soul! Join Giles as he chews the fat with fellow foodies, scientists, and doctors. Across this series, he’ll be asking how our genes play a role in weight loss and gain, how our stomachs chat to our brains, and whether going on a run really means we can gorge on doughnuts when we get home...
