This film explores how life recovered after an asteroid wiped out the dinosaurs and how those events shaped the diversity of plants and mammals on Earth today.

This animation shows how mutations in an ion channel protein lead to the genetic disease cystic fibrosis. The animation also discusses how research on this protein has been used to develop treatments for the disease.

This animation describes how skin color is generated by skin cells as protection against ultraviolet (UV) radiation.

In this talk, biologist Anthony Barnosky discusses Earth’s five mass extinctions and whether current species declines may be part of a sixth mass extinction.

In this talk, biologist Anthony Barnosky discusses what steps can be taken to avoid a sixth mass extinction.

This video describes how prehistoric extinction rates are calculated from fossil data in a paleodatabase and compared to modern extinction rates.

This animation shows how a region of the brain called the cerebral cortex develops in a human fetus.

This animation shows how genes associated with autism affect the structure and function of neuronal synapses.

This video shows a technique used to obtain detailed images of nerve cells by fluorescent microscopy.

Dr. Christopher Walsh discusses how genomic science has made enormous contributions to our understanding of the genetic causes of autism.

This video tells the story of a boy with a congenital brain condition and how analyzing samples from him and other patients helped discover the genetic cause.

In this talk, biomedical scientist Christopher Walsh discusses how DNA sequencing technology has led to a better understanding of the genes involved in brain development.
