Co-produced by the Natural History Museums of Los Angeles County and the Los Angeles Times this recording is of a panel discussion surrounding nuclear contamination and climate change in the Marshall Islands, a Pacific nation spread across more than 800,000 square miles of ocean in the central Pacific.

The MDs still have the remedies, but self-monitoring through medical apps is putting each of us in sync with our own bodies. And our own bodies can now guide doctors to curing what ails us, thanks to diagnostic genetic profiling, and to fixing us before we can get sick, with tools like CRISPR. Our panel discusses redefining health, medicine, and longevity, treatment vs. prevention, how we use our genetic profiles for future healthcare and treatments, and what the science of vaccine and disease prevention may look like in the future.

If you could ask curators about their strangest or most valued artifacts, what would they divulge? Join science correspondent and host of Ologies podcast, Alie Ward as she asks Museum research specialists about their collections and discovers details hidden in plain sight. Each month features a different expert to uncover the big mysteries, strange oddities, and untold stories from NHM.

This conversation brings to light the history of electricity in Los Angeles and the positive and negative impacts it has on all living things. It is an evening talk as part of the series Night in the City: L.A. After Dark. Coproduced by the Natural History Museums of Los Angeles County and the Huntington-USC Institute on California and the West.

About 15 million years ago, Los Angeles was at the bottom of the ocean. Climate change means land that’s been high and dry for millennia is getting inundated by water again. What do terms like “500-year flood” mean when we have one every ten years? And what can engineering do to make Southern California’s new floodplains survivable?
