At the British Neuroscience Association (BNA)’s Festival of Neuroscience in April 2019, we were lucky enough to sit down with some influential neuroscientists to discuss their work. Here, we interview UCL's Essi Viding on the origins of psychopathy and antisocial behavior in the brain.

Watch the global launch of the inaugural Wellcome Global Monitor report in Washington, DC at the Gallup World Headquarters.

Citrus fruits contain small pockets of liquid which burst upon contact releasing a jet of strong smelling oil into the air. The strong smell is designed to attract animals to the site to help to spread the seeds of the fruit as far as possible. Andrew Dickerson at the University of Central Florida has recorded the squirting motion using high speed cameras to try to understand the exact process of these 'micro-jets' of citrus oil.

At the British Neuroscience Association's Festival of Neuroscience 2019, Professor Anil Seth of the University of Sussex discusses the mystery of consciousness and answers some interesting questions from our viewers.

This video provides an introduction to aseptic technique, an important aspect of avoiding microbial contamination during your cell culture experiments.

Learn why tuberculosis, TB, is the world’s most infectious disease and how medical advancements are improving treatment.

Do we really know what epigenetics is? In this talk the molecular biologist Gabriella Ficz offers a comprehensive look in all we need to know about epigenetics. She sheds light on the nature of this mechanism that from the moment we are conceived gets activated and defines the identity of our cells. In further elaborating on the matter, she presents groundbreaking research findings on the ways epigenetic mechanisms can result in the initiation of cancer.

With gene editing techniques like CRIPSR-Cas it is now possible to efficiently introduce a desired trait into an animal population that we are breeding for. This can also contribute to animal welfare. Professor Martien Groenen expects gene editing will play an important role in animal breeding, but they are not a panacea.

At the British Neuroscience Association's Festival of Neuroscience 2019, Professor Michael Meaney of McGill University, discusses the neurobiology of stress, maternal care and genetics and the mechanisms linking them.

CARTA (Center for Academic Research and Training in Anthropogeny) at the University of California San Diego celebrates its 10th anniversary with a whirlwind tour of anthropogeny, the study of the origin of humans, by addressing these questions across multiple disciplines: What do we know for certain? What do we think we know? What do we need to know? How do we proceed?
