The Canary in the Coal Mine: could seabirds be the warning signs for our oceans?

Series
Big Questions - with Oxford Sparks
Embed
Dr Annette Fayet tells us about the Manx Shearwater; a little seabird that makes a huge journey.
Every year they breed and raise their chicks in the UK before migrating to Argentina for winter, clocking up thousands of miles in their lifetimes. But what’s the price of parental devotion? Annette discusses how the harder parents have to works, the bigger the knock-on effects to their migration and breeding the following year are, and what this has to do with what’s going on in the oceans.

Podcast produced by Emliy Elias with music by John Lyons. Shearwater sounds provided by Magnus Robb, Killian Mull-arney & The Sound Approach.

X-rays for drug discovery

Series
Translational Medicine
Embed
Professor Frank von Delft works to ensure that X-ray structures can serve as a routine and predictive tool for generating novel chemistry for targeting proteins.
In the process of drug discovery, X-ray crystallography is the most sensitive way to find out which compounds bind to a target protein. Recent advances in technology allow researchers to test many more compounds, much more rapidly. The ultimate aim is to bring much needed new treatments to patients.
