Emily Humble introduces her MRes project where she is using next-generation sequencing techniques to perform a transcriptome comparison between different species of shark to investigate the molecular basis for endothermy.
Dominic Andradi-Brown introduces his MRes project investigating tropical mangrove forest restoration effectiveness, the methods and skills he has learnt while conducting it and the importance of mangrove restoration.
Video taken at the Tsaobis Baboon Project in Namibia. New research from ZSL and Imperial scientists shows baboons choose who to eat with depending on their position in the pecking order. (This video has no commentary)
Dr Dan Reuman explains how a discrepancy between extinction rates and reality is disguising a catastrophic decline in biodiversity in the Amazon rainforest in Brazil
The in vivo imaging facility in Imperial's new MRC Centre for Molecular Bacteriology and Infection tracks a mouse bacterial infection over 11 days, showing how the disease spreads throughout the body and how the animal successfully fights off infection.
Scientists from Imperial College London have devised a way of producing music from noises without a composer. Dr Bob MacCallum explains the evolution of musical loops created by http://darwintunes.org
An experiment by Imperial scientists has shown that music can evolve by means akin to Darwinian natural selection. (Extract 1 of 5 from the Imperial College Podcast 20 June 2012)
