    CARTA: Imagining the Future of Anthropogeny with Evan Eichler and Daniel Geschwind

    CARTA: Imagining the Future of Anthropogeny with Evan Eichler and Daniel Geschwind
    Anthropogeny, has provided many new discoveries over the past decade, ranging from new fossil finds to ancient DNA data, including from extinct hominins. This CARTA symposium highlights where future efforts should be focused and what type of novel collaborations are most promising to improve our understanding of the human phenomenon. Evan Eichler talks about the discovery and resolution of genetic variation which is critical to understanding disease and evolution. The data suggests that large-scale genome structural variation continues to play a crucial role in the evolution of the human species.Daniel Geschwind discusses human cognition and how human brain evolution is particularly susceptible to disruption of neuropsychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia and autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

    Creature Comforts: Ben Brainard on figuring out who you want to care for

    Creature Comforts: Ben Brainard on figuring out who you want to care for

    Guest Ben Brainard had cared for only a goldfish before getting to college but he somehow had the idea of becoming a veterinarian. He thinks it might have been on account of reading James Harriot’s tales of days spent bucolically going from farm to farm treating animals of all sizes. But even after doing the pre-med track and shadowing vets in Vermont he still didn’t have the full picture of what a diary animal doctor did. In vet school he discovered much of the reality of that work was caring for the farm rather than the individual animals and he realized he needed to switch gears. Going into critical care for people’s pets, he got to exercise his interests in both problem solving on the fly and communicating with people. Along the way he needed to negotiate with the person closest to him and ultimately decide on caring for his own.

    In this episode, find out from Ben how figuring out who we want to care for is often a path to contentment…on Roads Taken with Leslie Jennings Rowley.

     

    About This Episode’s Guest

    Ben Brainard is currently Edward H. Gunst Professor of Small Animal Critical Care at the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine, where he is also director of clinical research. He is an expert in fish anesthesia, coagulation, and--as we heard earlier--dealing with primates of all sorts through the Great Ape Heart Project. Ben and his wife are raising their inquisitive daughter in Athens, Georgia. And though he seems to have put his basement band dreams to rest with Vegetative Propagation, he thankfully still wears bow ties.

    CARTA: Imagining the Future of Anthropogeny - Genome Structure Variation and the Evolution of Human Specific Genes with Evan Eichler

    CARTA: Imagining the Future of Anthropogeny - Genome Structure Variation and the Evolution of Human Specific Genes with Evan Eichler
    The discovery and resolution of genetic variation is critical to understanding disease and evolution. Our most recent work sequences diverse human and nonhuman primate genomes using both ultra-long and high-fidelity long-read sequencing technologies. Advances in this area have made possible the first telomere-to-telomere assemblies of the human genome and much more complete chimp, gorilla and orangutan genomes providing new biological insights into regions typically excluded from human genetic and comparative studies. We have discovered mega basepairs of duplicated sequence and/or rapidly evolving sequence present in humans that are absent from other non-human primates. These changes have predisposed our species to recurrent rearrangements associated with disease but also have led to the emergence of new genes important in the expansion of the human frontal cortex of the brain. Our data suggest that large-scale genome structural variation has played and continues to play a crucial role in the evolution of the human species.

    Episode 173: Mommy Issues: 'Sleepwalkers' (1992)/'Torn Hearts' (2022)

    Episode 173: Mommy Issues: 'Sleepwalkers' (1992)/'Torn Hearts' (2022)

    It is one of those shows this week. Two hosts called in sick. Thankfully, there was a backup in place. We begin the episode by talking about New Orleans and The Overlook Film Festival. Anne Rice, witches, vampires, and a Brooklyn gorilla are all a part of the discussion. We also wonder why animal actors have been so overlooked despite their hefty contributions.

    Brea Grant is an amazing part of genre film. She has written, directed, and starred in some amazing movies. Her latest work teams her with Katey Sagal. Sagal has been an industry mainstay for a while now. She constantly does great work, but never seems to get the credit she deserves. Both show off their immense talents in Torn Hearts, a thriller about never meeting your heroes.

    Much of Grant's work has focused on what women have to deal with and this release is no different. Written by Rachel Koller Croft, the plot follows a country music duo who are trying to make it big in Nashville. When they have the chance to meet their idol, they jump at it. Things do not go quite as planned in a twist filled story that tackles the patriarchy, age,  and the country music industry.

    Is there anything Stephen King cannot do? Of course, he has written numerous books and short stories, but he has also been a director and acted. Sleepwalkers was the first feature film written by the horror icon. It is about a mother and son who are also shapeshifters that feed on virgins(?) and have sex with each other in their spare time.

    Cat lovers will probably get a kick out it and it is a precursor to one of the most popular sub genres in modern porn, but does it have anything for horror fans? We agreed that it was inconsistent - and we even thought so for the same reasons - but we still each got something different out of Sleepwalkers. It takes a special kind of disorganized to have noticeable flaws that people find in almost opposite ways.
