Part 1 - Mysteries of ageing in the marine environment by Dr Joel Parker
Loading...
Uploaded by NOCSnews on Dec 16, 2011
From immortal jelly fish and sea anemones that live for decades, some marine organisms appear not to age. Do our oceans contain the answer to extending longevity?
The talk will cover theories on the causes of ageing and how these apply to marine environments. The main question to be explored is whether there are aspects of marine environments that effect ageing differently from what is observed in terrestrial environments. Specific cases of extreme life span in marine organisms will be used to explore this question.
Dr Joel Parker uses non-model and model insect systems to understand ageing. Currently, his lab is using bumblebees to investigate social effects on ageing, and Drosophila to study an antioxidant gene he discovered in ants.
Joel is originally from the US where he earned his undergraduate degree in Biochemistry at the University of Oregon and his doctorate in Biology at Arizona State University.
Joel did his post doctoral training in Switzerland looking into the molecular basis of ageing in extremely long lived ants before joining the University of Southampton where he is now a lecturer at the Centre for Biological Sciences.

What a great idea to put your lectures out on' you tube', shame about quality on the board work. If its a smart board why dont you just show his slides and have his verbals on in the background? My aged parents with their hearing aids could not pick it up easily.
Great lecture though
great lecture though,
