We have no ways to directly observe molecules and what they do -- Drew Berry wants to change that. At TEDxSydney he shows his scientifically accurate (and entertaining!) animations that help researchers see unseeable processes within our own cells.

All seven videos from the 'Seven Wonders of the Microbe World' series combined into one, talking about Microbes and why some are good, some are bad and what they have done for mankind.

Sidney Altman, Sterling Professor of Molecular Cellular and Developmental Biology at Yale University and Nobel Laureate in Chemistry (1989), delivers the Tetelman Fellowship Lecture on the origin of life.

The Tetelman Fellowship at Jonathan Edwards College is among the most prestigious lectureship in the sciences at Yale. The endowment allows Jonathan Edwards College to invite individuals who have made significant contributions to science to deliver a lecture and to meet informally with students and members of the faculty.

Pawel Golik -- geneticist and molecular biologist. Heads the Institute of Genetics and Biotechnology at the University of Warsaw. Works on genetics and evolution of mitochondria, RNA processing and mitochondrial diseases. Pawel talked about how the Human Genome Project changed our views on genetics.

An entertaining and useful explanation of the differences between the micro- and nano-particle techniques used for cell isolation / cell separation.
