radiolab inheritance transcript

Once their born, their genes are fixed and change does not happen in a generation or two. JAD: Because while you might have a lot of influence, you know, genetically speaking, over your kids and their kids, you don't seem to have a lot of control. As to diabetes, it was a four-fold risk. It goes back to the 1800s. In those books you can read everything about the citizens of verkalix, going back hundreds of years. Like, mine are bigger, you know." Full transcript: Radiolab co-host Jad Abumrad on Recode Media The new season of More Perfect, a spinoff show from Radiolab, began airing Oct. 2. PAT: Right away, people accused her of targeting women at their weakest moment and enabling their drug abuse. One-fourth? ROBERT: And this idea won him a lot of fans, including, not surprisingly, the Soviets. Well, I guess I was thinking we could just start at the beginning. It goes back to the 1800s. In a very real way, weve been thinking a lot about inheritance. And he was going through withdrawal. ROBERT: One-fourth? This was a really radical place at the time because you have to remember that people studying animals up till now, they were basically studying preserved specimens, and so on. Even if it helps, it's horrifying. PAT: Over the past five years, if you look at our tax return. See, this is the story of science that doesn't get told. JAD: Many years later, he and this woman. SAM KEAN: Very easily. I want her to be able to look back on her life one day, maybe when she's getting interviewed, I don't know, and be able to say that, "Yes, my mom was there for me 100% without a doubt." And according to Barbara, the majority of the women she pays are white. a rat mother licking her baby can have such a profound effect, basically change the expression of the genes in the baby, well that's hopeful. Radiolab: Inheritance - Mastering Rhetoric Radiolab: Inheritance Posted on February 26, 2013 by wlin4 So I listened to Radiolab's story on "Inheritance" which talks about genetics. PEJK MALINOVSKI: Here we have how much they harvested. JAD: Lamarck said, You wanna know how a giraffe got its long neck?, JAD: One day this giraffe, mother giraffe, lets say, was looking up in the tree and saw some fruit, and had to stretch he neck, and stretch again. So thats the reason, of course, that we work with rats because we can get inside the brain. So heres the backstory. Very easily. When Emil gets to be eight, I'm cutting him off. That's the stuff that makes you you. ROBERT: Well, lets not get too excited too fast because we have a story to tell and this tale leaves me a little queasy. Kalia came too. Olov told us, take heart disease. You know, the fact is that taking care of animals, trying to keep them alive in a building is not an easy thing, especially if it's 1903. I know! SAM KEAN: And these effects, in fact, were so strong that you could trace it to the grandfather. JAD: No, not brain cells. With a child, they give you a whole folder full of information, tells you all about them. And she's a complete nut. Move on to the next cage, yes, no? Were just talking about toad, I thought. JAD: Who now works at Columbia University. KARIN BORGKVIST LJUNG: Cancer. FRANCES CHAMPAGNE: This is real physical-chemical interaction between what's going on in the environment and what's going on with the DNA. Yes, she has the same name as me. And looking at these swings in fortune, Olov realized what he had here was Because with all this data, he and his team could follow families forward in time, through the generations. What's happening during this time is that you're setting aside the stock of cells that you're going to draw on in the future to make sperm cells. You know, they say it only takes one time. Who are you? The show in in the radiolab eye sky transcript of was interested in his life In And bring the eye Amount of long-distance Runners and they had a Radiolab podcast about it and they. ], Sterilized? CARL ZIMMER: This second channel of heredity. She and I snuck away from the children into her office. Researchers have found evidence of structural. Meaning that they had less incidence of heart disease? Hosted by Lulu Miller and Latif Nasser, Radiolab is a podcast known for using innovative sound design to ask deep questions and investigative journalism to get the answers. Do you have any theories for how this tongue is tickling the DNA, or whatever it's doing? Well think about it, this is nature and nurture slamming into each other. Including a particular amphibian that plays a very big part in this story. LYNN PALTROW: Are there people whose drug use is so out of control they can't parent? A little village? Wow. That the licking is changing the baby's DNA? PEJK MALINOVSKI: It's not very politically correct, huh? CARL ZIMMER: Well, it was a zoo where there was all sorts of experiments going on. JAD: I want to start with a parental day dream for a second. SAM KEAN: Because theyre reaching for the tops of trees. Or is it? Once a kid is born, their genetic fate is pretty much sealed. That's the stuff that makes you you. It's just a mind crushing tedium. That's 9, 10, 11. CARL ZIMMER: He's not just talking about toads anymore, he's gone way beyond toads. CARL ZIMMER: Is your wife going to hear this? ], [ARCHIVAL CLIP, BARBARA HARRIS: That's their choice, but the babies don't have a choice.]. I'm graduating in December. And, I mean, I have straight A's and I'm making it work. Radiolab - Transcripts Subscribe 187 episodes Radiolab is on a curiosity bender. Now the Sweden story from our last segment left us both feeling a little strange. The next stage, yes, no? She did. I do mean that. Heart disease. Yeah. LYNN PALTROW: Tell me what your image of a drug-using pregnant woman is. Are you nine? You cant say that. Its a terrible thought! And if you were eating a whole lot between 9 and 12, one-quarter. And when methyl groups stick to that part of the DNA, the maternal instinct is effectively turned off. BARBARA HARRIS: It was just no baby should have to come into the world like that. JAD: Michael was in school and he got interested in a very, very basic question about how things get passed down? Where sound illuminates ideas, and the boundaries blur between science, philosophy, and human experience. I got these genes from somewhere, but I kind of feel like she was a surrogate, like she carried me for my real mom. He was born in 1880 in Vienna, Jewish family. ROBERT: So, somehow, by some chemical mechanism, starving grandpa, back when he was about 9 to 12 years old, turned out to be a good thing. And these effects, in fact, were so strong that you could trace it to the grandfather. [2] This assignment is from the free science education website Science Prof Online(ScienceProfOnline.com). And were trying to think about how do we keep it the same in a lot of ways, but also how do we let it grow into something beyond what it was originally built to be. So moms licking activates serotonin, and it's released onto brain cells in the hippocampus. FRANCES CHAMPAGNE: You have to do that for five hours a day for six consecutive days. Well, this is it! And I didn't find a single case of someone saying that they regretted what they've done. Not usually because it upsets people and I'm Canadian. My situation turned out positive. He was really one of the first grand theorists in biology. We went to the foster home and went in. This is from 2002. So then the one that's in trouble, so thats one of, So I guess you could say to yourself, "Seven out of eight of these kids did all right?". FRANCES CHAMPAGNE: You would be licking them quite a lot. Kinda makes me claustrophobic. CARL ZIMMER: You know, the fact is that taking care of animals, trying to keep them alive in a building is not an easy thing, especially if it's 1903. And then they're going to basically revel at that particular spot and turn on that gene. Kinda makes me claustrophobic. PAT: And she says oftentimes the women who want help have a really hard time finding it. [ARCHIVAL Clip, News: Barbara Harris says she's convinced more than a dozen women], [ARCHIVAL Clip, News: Have accepted her offer to be sterilized in return for money.]. Okay, you want to say bye? JAD: He works at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden where he studies population data. DESTINY HARRIS: And right now, I'm student teaching. You're not leaving this hospital unless you have long-term birth control.". [ARCHIVAL Clip, Panel: You don't think that they should have their children back?]. Once their born, their genes are fixed and change does not happen in a generation or two. And all over the political spectrum, from Hollywood lefties to social conservatives. Baby, be careful. SAM KEAN: And when he examined it, he noticed that there was a syringe hole there. Destiny has, what, three brothers and sisters that also were raised with her? All rights reserved. Remind me this. JAD: Hey, wait. ROBERT: Because there is more data, more information about the people of verkalix, going farther back into the past than you can find almost anywhere else on Earth. JAD: Because here's the thing, the churches up in verkalix kept incredibly detailed records. And when it came time to mate, the males and the females, they would mate in the water. I mean, I'm married to a Black man. like they could be whistling six tables over in a restaurant and he would turn around and be like, "Stop that," it was like it was scraping his very nerves. Thats just the cold logic of Darwinian evolution. No, not brain cells. And well just let the old yahoos from whom we inheritedededed inherited it take it away. And at a certain point, I noticed over my shoulder Barbara's crouched down and she's got her phone out and she's taking a picture of this just perfect little scene. Then choose either Section II OR Section III and answer all questions in that . ROBERT: You wonder, where did that come from? SAM KEAN: In a little community called verkalix. JAD: Its an idea thats been kicking around for me since my kids were born. What does it look like? More brain cells? ROBERT: But the story he told us begins around 25 years ago. ROBERT: And rewrite the so-called rules of genetics. Or did I somehow learn that? He was mighty skeptical. What exactly happens between 9 to 12 that makes this big difference? BARBARA HARRIS: Sounds bizarre, but it's a solution. There's going to be this massacre of toads and only a few lucky ones are going to survive. She said, "Well, she's just beautiful and she has lips like a baby doll." We had an expression here, "Dig where you stand." Could you just tell us what you are doing now? Yeah. Females seem to hate laying eggs in the water, but is that the end of the story? A few years later, there'd be a harsh winter. You picked him up right from the hospital? Really slowly, gradually, achingly slowly. Get personalized recommendations, and learn where to watch across hundreds of streaming providers. I have to be creative.". Anyways, God bless you. [ARCHIVAL CLIP, Jad Abumrad: Well lets lets read the book first. Okay, I'm here. CARL ZIMMER: She is nine. I mean like, with the licking, is it a teaching thing where, you know, the babies become good mothers because FRANCES CHAMPAGNE: They've seen it and they've repeated the experience. Like. Radiolab branded apparel and accessories are available at the Official Radiolab Online Store, aka the Swag Lab. We had an expression here, "Dig where you stand." SAM KEAN: And his lab ended up getting destroyed. Yeah, there you go. SAM KEAN: And the key point is that it wasnt something inborn in them. Wait, when you say they can choose to be sterilized, you mean permanent? Oh, that's a lot of potatoes. He actually coined the word biology, too. Its something I still think about all the time. That's how I've always looked at it. JAD: But were gonna play you stories where JAD: This is Radiolab. We actually sent our friend, Pejk Malinovski, to the archives in Stockholm to check it out. SAM KEAN: That was the implication, except Kammerer tried to defend himself by saying CARL ZIMMER: "Do you think I'm a Dummkopf, or an idiot, because that's what I would have to be if I left a forgery with ink standing around openly in the laboratory where so many of my enemies would have entry?". And when she had a baby. Why would that happen? More brain cells? This text may not be in its final form and may be updated or revised in the future. Its gonna get messy. I could have turned out like some of the other kids. OLOV BYGREN: Hi, Olov Bygren. DESTINY HARRIS: Yes. OLOV BYGREN: Methylations, phosphorylation, and so on. Covid has disrupted the most basic routines of our days and nights. The authoritative record of programming is the audio record. He actually named his daughter Lacerta, which is a genus of lizard. PEJK MALINOVSKI: He was an idiot. Jean Baptiste Lamarck was a pioneer in the . It takes a while. How old are your boys right now? Taylor Swift's Never Getting Back Together. Looking for patterns in cardiovascular diseases, high blood pressure, and such. They could eat twice, three times as much. BARBARA HARRIS: Since birth. If Barbara had gotten to Destiny's birth mom, Destiny, Kalia, this moment, none of it would exist. ", In other words, "Could I pay women who have drug problems to stop having babies?".
