Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2008 - Periodic Table of Videos

[mraiford]

"No, because I don't think the jellyfish really understood the importance if what it had done" ... Best line ever :)

[kreuso]

I'm glad to say that I attended to Mr. Polliakoff's conference in Rio de Janeiro - Brazil at UFRJ Chemistry Institute. He is a very nice person.

the jelly fish wins!

[brainfarth]

Can you drink a vile and show off at the club?

Type PRIZE before youtube and hit enter

[FreedomInAmerica]

President Carter got the peace prize too. You know Obama was nominated for the Nobel Peace prize twelve days after taking office. Upon acceptance of winning it, Obama was praised by the committee, "extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy". . They also gave the peace prize to Yasser Arafat, the leader of the PLO, the best known terrorist organization on the globe. This is like giving it to David Duke, the former Grand Wizard of the KKK.

[johnlebl]

@msm2you +1 Oh, cool. Thanks for correcting that, I was going by memory, but that was long ago. Either way, I always enjoyed his segment, he made physics interesting as does this gentleman.

[01reyaz]

lol fluorescent dandruff!

[Mauritan]

i cant stop seeing at these videos. thet man seems to be quite a good person, and good humoured

[boisbleu1]

An off camera voice over asks -- shouldn't the Jelly Fish have been the Prize recipient? On camera, the answer is "No." The Jelly Fish (from man's perspective), did not know the importance of his green glowing protein."

To the Jellyfish, his life, would be the prize.

[japanowner]

dsfs

[123Greengod]

did he also win the prize for the person to say: "err" the most times in 6mins 10? Lmao!

[RoNM214]

"it doesn't actually have any biological function"

i laughed

[killerkitty777]

i love this professor...well i used to be young once too.....he was a party animal, face it lol.

[CathySander]

TrutherD1: How do you know? It's hard to build up a conspiracy of chemists, as they are well-dispersed in the world.

[pilotosz125]

chemistry rocks!!!

university of athens ,department of chemistry here!!!!!

[isop9021]

"how do u know that?!?"

i was half-expecting the professor to punch him in the face lol

[TrutherD1]

There's a secret aerosol spraying program going on around the world... Search for "chemtrails", "Dont talk about the weather", "Endgame". This is pretty important. Research. View my vids. Wake up and wake others. Defend freedom!

[panzerveps]

@TrutherD1 i put on my tinfoil hat and ignore your madness..

[TrutherD1]

@panzerveps What's the tinfoil hat for? HAARP?

[iglooo101]

how do you know about that ..hahahahaha...really nice person.....

[laminin14]

a new installment on the science world...COOL!

[thatsgogogo]

Emperor Scorpions can glow a really bright green under UV Light.

[melbourneopera]

Green light......which the light always used in the game...."Nuclear waste"......although it is not ready true

[lemonheartfly]

[jackuy12345]

good job..... good for u..... LOL BIG DICKS INVENTION

[Falestiniyya]

"Shouldn't the jellyfish have won the Nobel Prize as well?" <<haha

[Cockknocker99]

Seems like a real intelligent man

[culwin]

I nominate Martin Poliakoff for best hair.

We're going clubbing later.

[shenstone]

dont lie, you wernt watching the nobel prize announcement, you was watching and epsode of the Jeremy Kyle show then you suddenly realised the cameras were on you....and that phone call was your wife asking if you wanted pork chops for tea tonight

[AlexGuitar8]

LOL.

[thatgirlintokyo]

i go clubbing with this jellyfish name aequorea victoria now on ;)

[hash1212]

this professor explains everything so elegantly.

[hash1212]

GFP nice....some of the engineered mice that produce GFP are pretty awesome lol.

[JebusGeist]

That;s actually very useful.

You could engineer a strain of amoeba one color, and then the population of bacteria that it's preying upon another color and have a very easy method of visually tracking how their populations fluctuate and affect each other.

It could be engineered into GE foods as a sort of failsafe to track contamination with wild species if the terminator genes put in place fail to halt the reproductive cycle. A genetic marker you can test for using just a light!

[roubelladonna]

lol, it sounds like he took that joke about the jellyfish winning the nobel prize quite seriously....

[BeaucoupRed]

The rats are jumping ship.

CHEMRISK - a research company hired by the Corn Refiners Association has recently taken down it's YouTube channel.

The removal was in response to negative public perception resulting from the discovery of dangerous levels of MERCURY in HIGH-FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP. Apparently it has become a liability to defend the sweetener.

See one of the last remaining ChemRisk videos at CornRefinersAssoc on YouTube.

[nanomid2007]

Corn is an efficient storage of solar energy.

Get out of the gene pool.

[carbonchain]

clearly he used to go clubbing quite a bit during his uni years.

[patitusanz]

very interesting!! Paty from Mexico. I'm studient of Industrial Chemistry...

[prfctday]

The prof would be a great speaker at the TED talks.

[formula8888]

Definitely

[difanchen1989]

I don't think Ted talk would be a great idea, for the point of this video is explanation, but ted talk is for presentations of discovery and creation.

[sarvagyna]

shouldn't the jelly fish get the noble prize.? Cool answers.. I am sure my prof. would have smacked me if I had asked that question..

[mistermuffin420]

I wish i had that gene :(

[Tronicoz]

HAHAHA!

[alcany]

I think I failed my molecular cell biology class because of this thing.....

FUK, who knew what transfection technique to use and..grumble grumble...

[Acavemancandoit]

They have put it in Rabbits and they glow green

[100PercentGeeks]

Ooo Glowwy green Bunnies :D

*I WANT ONE*

[johnlebl]

Fascinating. Neat coincidence too, I had read about the flourescent marker the other day. He got curious about the jellyfish in Puget Sound and made the flourescence discovery. Other species (cannonball jellyfish) don't fluoresce, but are used as food. the professor reminds me of Professor Irwin Corey from the kid's show House Of Frightenstein that I grew up with, so I just had to subscribe.

[loseexcontrol]

florescent dandruff...that's something to see at a club

[Chavalierdeon]

really?? the np went to the gfp? neat

[Michael7477]

The jellyfish didn't get the price because they did not realize the importance of their fluorescent protein molecules. Classic

[moineau15]

What's the point of your comment? Shimomura is a terrorist and the modern science supports terrorist graduate students? :D man, people are crazy, lol...

[moineau15]

Support jelly fishes now!

[greger333]

great explanation. thanks!

[uz4ir12345]

This guy is great

thanks

[Twist9]

Nice use of selective desaturated, does he not have anything else yellow in his office?

[periodicvideos]

thank you.... Yes there was a troublesome yellow book on the shelf but I dealt with that! Nice to have an editing question rather than a chemistry question! :)

[zakiman1234]

If only...

[tomandjj]

I love it how he took the "shouldn't the jellyfish have won?" question seriously.

[deathofducky]

haha, omg your so right, thats fuckin hilariouse

[gulllars]

About the UV light (blacklight) in clubs, it also make bleached hair fluroscent, so it's easy to tell wich women are real blondes :P

[ditiano]

good call

[gulllars]

I know because i was a weekend DJ for a few years, and there were quite a few girls with bleached hair. What's really fun is girls with other bright haircolors, they suddenly get green/pink etc fluroscent hair :D

What's also a lot of fun is normal text markers also become fluroscent in UV.

I myself am just light blond, so i don't get glowing hair :(

[bugblood1978]

Certainly easier than the other way of telling:)

[avinalaughmate]

This guy is amazing, i want to know loads of stuff too!

[Sk8Master77]

The camra guy made fun of him at 1:57

>=|

[Sk8Master77]

He's Awesome.

[Ritzoid]

Awesome.

[phoenixicarus]

You just got yourself a subscriber.

[paulruddick]

Should the jellyfish win the Nobel Prize?... Fantastic question!

Some aquariums now use black light to display their jellies, they are beautiful creatures when seen like this.

[tsutomukun]

the guy can't take a joke...

[benkettle]

no such thing as black light because darkness is the absence of light

[paulruddick]

Ben, if one is to purchase a UV lamp from a shop one asks for a "black light". It's a generic name given to that type of lamp, not to the actual light itself. I hope this clarifies things for you. Sorry to be so pedantic but you started this!

[wildwolf111]

I wish the same

[IIriguezII]

Damn, wish this guy was my chem prof.

[xmrwaffles2]

second that motion id prolly pass my science class

[ezemvelo]

He is mine!

[whyamionfire1]

Einstein was a physicist

[almostnearlyevil]

In 8th grade, my genetics class and I modified E. Coli. bacteria to express the GFP gene. Pretty cool stuff

[Lathika1984]

Is this the son of Sir.Albert Einstine?

[kkfemale]

what a man!

[SomeKiddAnn]

This guy is extra cool. :D

[PopeParty]

So I'm assuming they used a CaMV35S promoter to have this gene expressed everywhere all the time. Another reason they may not like green is because that wouldn't be very useful in plant sciences since many cells contain green colored structures.

[roendm]

coolest thing i ever discovered

[pattyricks18]

lol scientist are great, he goes to clubs, hubble was in two world wars...and so on

[acrossthenorthernsea]

Hes so great!

[Heatherrocks22]

Noone hassles the Koff. By far my funniest lecturer.

[bmwsux4]

I remember seeing a show a while ago in the USA about something similiar to what this video is about. The people involved actually took this gene and put it inside an inactive virus and injected it into a small monkey species embryo. The virus split apart and released the gene.

To their amazement at a room with no light, the fingernalis/ toenails actually glowed green.

That would be a kicker if the jelly fish flashed light claiming he was useful.

This guy rules!!!

[MelGibson01]

good answer at the end

[AdmiralPrice]

THe last question was classic. He argued the joke like he was serious XD

[GpOwnS]

yeah Gore in my opinion is the exception, he did win it for a pack of lies this is true, but many of the winners did do fascinating things and the prize in those cases is quite honorable.

[lostangel912]

Dr. Chien is a genius. His father was a genius too.

[bunzo7]

chemistry is fuckin amazing

[Killr0oy130]

your fucking amazing

[bunzo7]

lmao

[tomrobo2323]

realy what about einstein then, or marie curie. dont be stupid, are you realy going to argue that a jelly fish deserves a noble prize for it evolving. oh yeah that was darwin who came up with that and didn't he get a nobel prize, why yes he did, are you saying he lied as theres a couple of millions of years proof you know

[boredpapertigers]

I do kinda think the guys posting these vids deserve an award. Hnf. I'm addicted to this stuff, ha!

[banananananannanaa]

whoa!!!! im not clear on everythign stated but... thats some stuff.... word..

[zhpjgjgochina]

GOOD

[godsend420]

im a raver poi/glow sitcks are the shit

[fvkivn]

such as staining every single protein to identify activity or lack of for over a million experiments since the 60's!!!! Everybody uses it in scientific everyday life...what did you expect for a nobel prize? lcd screen?

[kella587us]

he dont tell perefect wht he observe in sun shain, wht observe in ultravilate lite, and,in other lights, .but wht is usefull for humanlife for this experment?.

[Rextasy69]

I don't expect perfect spelling, punctuation or grammar, but what the hell are you even saying?!?

[xNemesystemx]

"I was young once too"

At this point I realized I was being lied to and that this whole thing was a complicated plot to rick roll me....well played.

[jasonlajoie]

"...can be taken on to something useful." - such as...?

[speeed0]

what are the practical uses of it?

[Fwooper]

If there is disease or cancer, they can inject that protein into it, so it will grow with the cancer and they'd be able to see how fast it is spreading at a more microscopic rate. This would be very important for tumors, diseases, different strings of flu. They'd also be able to see how fast a vaccine would work.

[bunzo7]

exactly!! until something goes wrong with it, mutates, and becomes another biological problem

[mausphart]

I have actually transformed bacteria in the laboratory where they have incorporated the GFP protein. The transformed colonies fluoresce under UV light. It was a pretty cool experiment. This award is well-deserved.

[BeauJames59]

He only came in runner up in the Nobel Prize for hair.(he's probably a great guy.)

[444DeanMachine]

we really wasted a biochem. nobel prize on that crap? lol we should have given it to someone else this finding is crap

[yellowman88]

You obviously know nothing about science if you think this doesn't deserve a noble prize.

[5uper5tring]

they added the gfp gene to neurological stem cells in mice and found out that we have neurological stem cells in our hair follicles!

[gregart999]

★★★★★ [whisky and cola professor] ★★★★★

[EdiNachman]

Thank you for that explanation! May Yahuah my God bless you with the knowledge of his truth also!

[youngThrashbarg]

So now we won't have to wait for the nuclear war before we'll glow green?

[BTTHEBAND]

I can so see this dude in a club. He gets all the ladies.

[mystikcateyez]

Thanks guys for making youtube worth watching. Thanks again!

[mateenyasin1]

my gosh he really looks like a mad scientist

[AwesomeDragonX]

this man sounds excaly like my teacher

[samdonuge]

hahaha that interview is an ass "how do you kno about that (since your like 100 years old)"

ha, you can tell this guy does psychedelics

[wisheye1]

Can we make a pink elephant?

[dweekly]

5 stars for asking why the jellyfish didn't get the Nobel prize.

[SharathCK]

hear hear lmao

[DuskY1991]

I want blue. Lol.

Gread video right there! You make everything sound so fascinating, and it is fascinating. :P others think I'm crazy because I watch this in my spare time =D

[periodicvideos]

We MAKE these videos in our spare time, so we're glad you're watching!!!

[bokmavisi]

this guy is mad cool

[trafficker615]

professors always have funky hair style

[Tabascho]

Very cool! Our professor told us about this yesterday. I want to see glowing baby cows and that jelly fish getting endorsed, haha :)

[Volumunox]

i'd like to see the good professor at a rave, dancing to some beats :D

And nice vid, good to hear we got the whole colour chart now and not just the green :)

[Mintfriction]

niiiiiice

[NsaneNtheNbrane]

Wow, this is cool. Maybe one day this could be used to increase the efficiency of photovoltaic cells. Think about it, a substance that can convert UV light into lower energy states would mean that more photons hitting the silicon cells are below the band gap for conductivity.

*Favorited!

[cways]

haha...

"should the jelly fish have won the nobel prize?"

thats a good question...

this guy is genius!

[Furball2k]

Well I guess the main question that needs to be asked now is...

How can I inject or ingest this substance so my entire body and glow at rave =^-^=

[lrn2ssbm]

THIS GUY IS AMAZING

[ebenbrooks]

Why do you have American money on the wall behind you, Professor?

[beekayproductions]

I'm a student doing his undergraduate in biochemistry, and this was very interesting news to me.

I have been introduced to this for a few years now, and it's very excited to know that something I'm familiar with has earned someone a nobel prize. Very encouraging for me and my studies.

[julian1000]

"and it's very excited to know"

Perhaps you should have considered majoring in English instead?

[mrjackard]

Because if you make a typo, it automatically makes you bad at English.

Fail.

[WillyKillagen]

this guy is cool...

[Shebaz02]

I love this guy!

[dann22619841]

UNITE TO THE GROUP "NOT to the NOBEL OF PEACE for Ingrid Betancourt" IN FACEBOOK we will WIN we ALREADY GO IN 27.507 MEMBERS OF EVERYBODY IN ONLY ONE DAY TOGETHER we will MAKE THE FORCE SO THAT THIS LADY is not WON THE PRIZE WRONGLY, BECAUSE she doesn't DESERVE IT

[AndyITALY07]

so true about the dandruff

[Xjawa]

There should be more professors as these guy... I have such a hard time understanding chemistry, I always have to read the same line about 3 or 4 times

[GRX13]

He trimmed his 'fro!

[MishaLeontine1]

it is quite good to see this pize this exat yesr since they've suceeded with glowing mice this yesr and OLEDs are becoming more and more common

[lyrialzander]

Thanks fr posting this, very informative.

I do however think you are underestimating the intelligence of jellyfish...

[slpk]

great video, but one question: why black and white?

i have one suggestion, though, instead of tagging the videos as new version, tag it with the date or as 1st edition, 2nd edition, etc

[YawnGod]

What's wrong with black and white?

[slpk]

it doesn't have colors.

[88metallica88]

wat u talkin bout?!?!? i see colors... u must be color blind...

[gnamp]

He's a sneaky butcher, this one. Watch how he 'remembers' the other scientists names. 2:23 and 4:42.

[vertebraericochet]

This guy is awesome. I'm a chemical engineering student and waste (well it's not really a waste, is it?) half my time watching these vids. He's interesting, easy to understand, great examples and analogies, and fantastic hair. Love the hair.

[khanzah]

watch?v=gljlTiwrSxg about this
