Anthropogenic climate and environmental change are among the most immediate threats to global sustainability, including the sustainability of human populations. Although these changes are happening at a rate never recorded before, climate and environmental changes per se are not unprecedented. Moreover, prior environmental changes have sometimes been accompanied by social and technological innovations that mitigated the impact of environmental change on human populations. We explore two such episodes in the history of California, and ask what lessons they may hold for adaptable societies in the Anthropocene. Series: "Sustainable California" [Science] [Show ID: 35098]

The Arctic is changing rapidly in response to changes in global climate and economic activity and yet much of it remains unexplored with modern scientific techniques. Jeff Bowman describes his group's work in the Arctic as they seek to understand the ecological implications of changing sea ice conditions, and prepare to participate in the MOSAiC expedition; an unprecedented multi-national effort to study the high Arctic across a complete seasonal cycle.

Brain organoids, or cortical organoids, hold much promise in finding interventions for neurological conditions, and have already proven useful in understanding the effects of Zika and rare neurological syndromes such as AGS. But how are they made? UC San Diego Stem Cell program project scientist Cleber Trujillo provides a brief overview of how the Muotri lab nurtures pluripotent stem cells into becoming brain organoids.

Os organoides cerebrais, ou organoides corticais, prometem grande sucesso na descoberta de intervenções para doenças neurológicas e têm comprovado sua utilidade na compreensão dos efeitos da Zika e síndromes neurológicas raras como a AGS. Mas como eles são produzidos? Cleber Trujillo, cientista do projeto do programa de células-tronco da Universidade da Califórnia em San Diego, oferece uma breve visão geral de como o laboratório Muotri cultiva células-tronco pluripotentes para que se tornem organoides cerebrais.
