This page was intentionally set-up for providing the grounds for a discussion forum on Biology, how it is taught, how it is displayed to the public, etc.
The page is not generating a lot of written opinion. However, it is fulfilling its main purpose. People are enjoying the videos and spreading them, thus generating opinion. We will try to reach the second objective, that these opinions are verbalised and discussed.

Computing exponentially faster: implementing a non-deterministic universal Turing machine using DNA The theory of computer science is based around universal Turing machines (UTMs): abstract machines able to execute all possible algorithms. Modern digital computers are physical embodiments of classical UTMs. For the most important class of problem in computer science, non-deterministic polynomial c...

A. Optical Traps: An Introduction: Carlos Bustamante Light can exert force on physical objects. In optical trapping this is used to immobilize objects (often beads) in a focussed laser beam. These videos describe the principles of optical traps, show how to build and calibrate optical traps and show how optical traps are used in the study of molecular…

Single Molecule Manipulation in Biochemistry Dr. Bustamante begins his talk by explaining why one would wish to study biochemical reactions at the level of single molecules. He explains that many processes within the cell are carried out by very few molecules. By studying single molecules, it is possible to obtain details about the mechanism o…
