    Sometimes you feel like you missed an opportunity, or didn’t make the best out of it, or sometimes you feel like life is unfair and doesn’t offer any attractive chance. Then you hear stories like Mireille Kamariza’s and your perspective changes.

    This is classic Bringing Chemistry to Life episode, where an incredible personal story is intertwined with great science. Dr. Mireille Kamariza, junior fellow at the Society of Fellows at Harvard University, is driven by her personal experience growing up in war-torn Burundi. She was given the opportunity to move to and study in the U.S., rose to the challenge becoming an expert in biorthogonal chemistry and developed a technology for a highly reliable, yet simple and affordable, detection method for tuberculosis. Now Mireille, nominated as one of Fortune Magazine’s most powerful women, wants to give back and aims at addressing the TB global health crisis thanks to her technology.

    While listening to Mireille’s personal story alone is well worth your time, make no mistake, there is great chemistry here. Another brilliant example of chemistry at the interface with biology, where some of the most exciting results in modern science come from.

    About Your Host

    Paolo Braiuca grew up in the North-East of Italy and holds a PhD in Pharmaceutical Sciences from nearby esteemed University of Trieste, Italy.  He developed expertise in biocatalysis during his years of post-doctoral research in Italy and the UK, where he co-founded a startup company. With this new venture, Paolo’s career shifted from R&D to business development, taking on roles in commercial, product management, and marketing. He has worked in the specialty chemicals, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical markets in Germany and the UK, where he presently resides.

     

    He is currently the Director of Global Market Development in the Laboratory Chemicals Division  at Thermo Fisher Scientific™ which put him in the host chair of the Bringing Chemistry to Life podcast. A busy father of four, in what little free time he has, you’ll find him inventing electronic devices with the help of his loyal 3D-printer and soldering iron. And if you ask him, he’ll call himself a “maker” at heart.

    Dust Bunnies in Space

    Today we are joined by Dr. Kristin Bunker, a senior scientist at RJ Lee Group, and Dr. Marit Meyer, from the NASA Glenn Research Center, to discuss the usage of microscopy to identify airborne particles in the cabin on the International Space Station. Analyzing the makeup of these particles and keeping the air particle free allows us to ensure safe, breathable air for our astronauts in orbit.

While there has been a lot of type about the little helicopter that was inside the rover running Linux, the rover itself runs BSD. *** ### Practical Guide to Storage of Large Amounts of Microscopy Data (https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/microscopy-today/article/practical-guide-to-storage-of-large-amounts-of-microscopy-data/D3CE39447BFF5BBF9B3ED8A0C35C6F36) > Biological imaging tools continue to increase in speed, scale, and resolution, often resulting in the collection of gigabytes or even terabytes of data in a single experiment. In comparison, the ability of research laboratories to store and manage this data is lagging greatly. This leads to limits on the collection of valuable data and slows data analysis and research progress. Here we review common ways researchers store data and outline the drawbacks and benefits of each method. We also offer a blueprint and budget estimation for a currently deployed data server used to store large datasets from zebrafish brain activity experiments using light-sheet microscopy. Data storage strategy should be carefully considered and different options compared when designing imaging experiments. *** ## News Roundup ### OpenBSD guest with bhyve - OmniOS (https://www.pbdigital.org/omniosce/bhyve/openbsd/2020/06/08/bhyve-zones-omnios.html) > Today I will be creating a OpenBSD guest via bhyve on OmniOS. I will also be adding a Pass Through Ethernet Controller so I can have a multi-homed guest that will serve as a firewall/router. > This post will cover setting up bhyve on OmniOS, so it will also be a good introduction to bhyve. As well, I look into OpenBSD’s uEFI boot loader so if you have had trouble with this, then you are in the right place. *** ### NextCloud on OpenBSD (https://h3artbl33d.nl/blog/nextcloud-on-openbsd) > NextCloud and OpenBSD are complimentary to one another. NextCloud is an awesome, secure and private alternative for propietary platforms, whereas OpenBSD forms the most secure and solid foundation to serve it on. Setting it up in the best way isn’t hard, especially using this step by step tutorial. MySQL Transactions - the physical side (https://blog.koehntopp.info/2020/07/27/mysql-transactions.html) So you talk to a database, doing transactions. What happens actually, behind the scenes?

    Quantum entanglement microscopes advancing chemistry, medicine, materials science and more

    Quantum entanglement microscopes advancing chemistry, medicine, materials science and more
    With support from the National Science Foundation, this University of Michigan team has built a new laser-based instrument called a quantum entanglement microscope. They’re using entangled photons in microscopy, research that was virtually impossible only a decade ago. The microscope generates high resolution images with low intensity beams, enabling the team to image delicate samples, such as living cells, without damaging them. Quantum entangled microscopy is an example of how quantum research is opening the door to advances in all the sciences. The research in this episode was supported by these NSF grants: #1607949 “Entangled Photon Imaging and Microscopy for Chemical and Biological Investigations” and #1836374 “QLC: EAGER: Collaborative Research: Developing Experiment and Theory for Entangled Photon Spectroscopy.”

    Episode 43 - Jobs in the Apiary for December

    Although there are not many jobs to be attended to in December there are a couple of important issues to be sorted. Making sure woodpecker damage doesn't occur it's important to get some protection on during this month.

    I'm also thinking about repairs, renewal and replacement of equipment particularly my hive floors. I need to make up around 40 or more in total and have an idea for making up my own this Winter.

    I hope you enjoy the podcast this week. Next week, it's time for my Q&A session.

    In developing countries, more than 3.4 million people die each year due to water-related diseases, while the U.S. and Europe routinely face E. coli and salmonella contamination in their food supplies. In response, UCLA engineering professor Aydogan Ozcan developed the first-of-its-kind microscopy tool that enables public health workers to test for harmful bacteria in the field using only a cell phone.
