In the new season, “Brainstorm” - together with scientists and experts, arrange a brainstorming to solve one difficult and sometimes incredible problem. How to achieve immortality? Is it possible to create an ethical robot? And what if clones live among us? The leading podcast is an engineer, graduate student and teacher Alexander Kalyuzhnyuk. See the releases on the UTUB channel “ A scientist enters the bar ”, and also listen to Apple Podcasts , Google Podcasts , Castbox , Spotify , Yandex.Musicism and VKontakte .

In this issue

What does genetics and archeology have in common? How much information does human DNA keep? How does genetic engineering help to produce vaccines and drugs for the treatment of SMA? And why is it impossible for people to set certain properties?

In this special producing SCIENCE BAR Hopping podcast, listen to Nikolai Panyushev’s lecture - bioinformatics and analytics of the Center for Strategic Planning and Risk Management of the FMBA of Russia. Nikolai told how scientists explore the genes and what is not yet known about them.

The lecture was held during the Science Bar Hipping festival in Moscow. This episode “Paper” recorded along with the OKKO multimedia service, the general partner of the festival. Other lectures will soon be possible to see also on the OKKO website.
