«کتاب ژنتیک مردگان» اثر ریچارد داوکینز، سفری است به ژرفای فرگشت و نقش ژن‌ها در تداوم حیات. داوکینز، که از مهم‌ترین چهره‌های زیست‌شناسی فرگشتی است، در این اثر دیدگاه ژن‌محور خود را گسترش می‌دهد و نشان می‌دهد ژن‌ها پس از مرگ فرد نیز به بقای خویش ادامه می‌دهند؛ زیرا ما تنها حاملان موقت اطلاعاتی هستیم که میلیون‌ها سال پیش آغاز شده‌اند. او با استعاره‌ی شاعرانه‌ی پالیمسیست — کاغذی که نوشته‌هایش پاک شده ولی رد قدیمی‌اش باقی مانده — ژن‌ها را توصیف می‌کند؛ میراثی از گذشته که در لایه‌های حیات امروز نیز...

Ovarian cancer remains one of the deadliest cancers affecting women, and it is expected to claim nearly 13,000 lives in the United States in 2025. Despite progress in survival rates, nearly 80 percent of patients are still diagnosed at advanced stages, when the disease has already spread and is difficult to treat. Imunon’s experimental DNA-mediated immunotherapy is designed to deliver interleukin-12 directly into the tumor. A phase 2 study demonstrated that the experimental therapy, when combined

Under the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act (MoCRA), reporting serious adverse events to the FDA is now mandatory. Companies must report serious incidents—such as hospitalizations, infections, disfigurement, or medically treated allergic reactions—within 15 business days. They must also maintain records of all adverse events for six years (or three years for small businesses). Practically, this requires setting up a system to capture and assess customer complaints, determine seriousne...

What can science tell us about the existence of God? A lot more than you may think! Since the 16th century, a scientific worldview has been brewing called materialism that sought to explain all of life and the universe through unguided chance processes, and in doing so, ridding humanity of any need for God. But the worldview of materialism is increasingly at odds with the latest scientific discoveries of the last hundred years. On today's episode, join host Andrew McDiarmid as he continues his

Antibiotic resistance isn’t just a looming problem. It’s a global crisis. Every year, more than one million people die directly from resistant infections, and another 5 million die indirectly. Routine infections are becoming life-threatening, and healthcare systems worldwide are under pressure. Despite decades of warnings, pharmaceutical solutions are falling behind, while “superbugs” continue to outpace new drug development. If trends continue, by 2050, antibiotic resistance could claim 10 m...
