PODCAST

The Biologic Podcast

Welcome to the Biologic Podcast, an audio exploration of the incredible world of living things. The journey begins at the dawn of life, almost 4 billion years ago. In this ancient eon, biochemical reactions gave rise to ordered systems (the cell) capable of replication. The key to this replication is the genome, and the DNA itself. At this point, the journey expands in scope; we will explore the process of evolution, then move through hundreds of millions of years of evolutionary history until we

Episode 27 - The Phanerozoic Eon II: The Mesozoic Era

The Biologic Podcast ·

2019/06/06

The Mesozoic Era saw the evolutionary emergence and rise to dominance of the dinosaurs, and the emergence of early bird and mammal ancestors.

Episode 26 - The Phanerozoic Eon I: The Paleozoic Era

The Biologic Podcast ·

2019/06/06

The Paleozoic Era saw the rapid emergence of increasingly complex life forms that filled the sea and the land, but they would all face extinction during the events known as the Great Dying.

Episode 25 - The Precambrian

The Biologic Podcast ·

2019/06/06

Life on Earth is billions of years old. This ancient natural history comes to us in the form of fossils and genetic relationships, revealing the incredible story of the evolution of life.

Episode 24 - Human Evolution

The Biologic Podcast ·

2019/05/17

All populations are subject to perpetual evolution, and Humans are no exception; peer into our distant past and observe the evolutionary history of the Human species.

Episode 23 - Phylogenetics

The Biologic Podcast ·

2019/05/17

As all living things are fundamentally related, phylogenetics is the study of these genetic relationships, and the evolutionary history of the many diverse lineages of Earthly life.

Episode 22 - Divergence & Speciation

The Biologic Podcast ·

2019/05/17

When populations groups diverge, whether they're separated geographically, temporally, or behaviorally, they find themselves on the pathway to speciation.

Episode 21 - Mechanisms of Evolution

The Biologic Podcast ·

2019/05/15

Besides natural selection, evolution is influenced by mechanisms like gene flow, the random walk of genetic drift, and the novelty-generating phenomenon of genetic mutations.

35:37

Episode 20 - Natural Selection

The Biologic Podcast ·

2019/05/15

The forces of natural selection remove from the gene pool those lineages too unfit to survive in a given habitat, while those with good health survive to make healthy offspring, and their lineages tend to perpetuate.

Episode 19 - Introduction to Evolution

The Biologic Podcast ·

2019/05/15

A brief introduction to evolution, including its mechanisms, selective pressures, runaway effects, and the fundamental importance of evolution as a guiding force for the perpetuation of life.

Episode 18 - Gene Modification

The Biologic Podcast ·

2019/05/15

Genetic information is complex; there's the gene sequence, the regulation of gene expression, and there are even mechanisms to modify genes, allowing a single gene to produce multiple different proteins.

en

36:32

Episode 17 - Gene Expression

The Biologic Podcast ·

2019/05/13

The gene itself encodes raw information, but this is just the beginning of gene expression, which is a complex, highly-regulated, and tightly-coordinated process.

en

40:49

Episode 16 - DNA Synthesis & Repair

The Biologic Podcast ·

2019/05/13

New DNA molecules are generated through a complex replication process, and mutations can be repaired with a variety of mechanisms.

en

40:10

Episode 15 - Transcription & Translation

The Biologic Podcast ·

2019/05/13

The genome encodes information to 'build' the organism; the process of transcription encodes the DNA information into RNA, and translation encodes the information into polypeptide chains, which form proteins.

en

39:08

Episode 14 - Meiosis

The Biologic Podcast ·

2019/05/13

Meiosis is a specialized form of cellular replication, which creates many haploid daughter cells, each possessing a single copy of the genome.

46:33

Episode 13 - Introduction to Genetics

The Biologic Podcast ·

2019/05/03

A brief introduction to genetics, including the structure of DNA and RNA, gene expression, genome replication, and more.

Episode 12 - The Cell Cycle

The Biologic Podcast ·

2019/05/03

As organisms a born, grow, reproduce, and die, so too do cells. The cell cycle is the pattern of cellular growth & replication that sustains life.

en

Episode 11 - Inter-Cell Relationships

The Biologic Podcast ·

2019/05/03

The cell is one among many; all cells in a tissue, or an organ, or an organism, have relationships with other cells, and these relationships help to sustain life.

Episode 10 - Cellular Respiration

The Biologic Podcast ·

2019/05/03

Cellular respiration is a perpetual cycle of energy generation that sustains not just the cell, but the life of the organism it's a part of.

Episode 9 - Metabolic Energy & Enzymes

The Biologic Podcast ·

2019/04/30

Enzymes are among several diverse groups of chemicals that participate in the metabolic pathways that keep the cell alive.

Episode 8 - Cellular Subsystems

The Biologic Podcast ·

2019/04/30

The cell perpetuates itself with a variety of organelles, metabolic pathways, and biochemical subsystems.
