This video follows scientists working in Gorongosa National Park as they try to determine the genes responsible for tusk development in elephants.

This film explores the evolutionary connection between an infectious disease, malaria, and a genetic condition, sickle cell disease.

This video follows an international team of researchers as they collect data to map migratory bird populations in the US and Mexico.

This video presents an intriguing phenomenon: two patients who carry the same genetic variation, which is known to cause sickle cell disease, have very different outcomes.

In this video, ecologist Tony Sinclair takes us through the steps of how he uncovered that the eradication of an infectious disease in cattle led to a boom in the Serengeti’s buffalo and wildebeest numbers.

This film explores the foundational research in the Serengeti National Park, Tanzania, that uncovered many of the ecological principles that govern how animal populations and communities are regulated.

This short video explores how a baby’s microbiome is established during birth.

This film describes the scientific principles and the research efforts involved in the development of a gene therapy for a congenital form of blindness, and how a young patient benefited from this medical breakthrough.

This video describes how scientists silence different genes in regenerating planaria to study the process of regeneration at the molecular level.

This video follows the work of scientists conducting the first census of African savanna elephants in over 40 years and the methods they are using to obtain accurate, up-to-date numbers across the continent.

This video describes the technology of metabarcoding, which allows scientists to determine herbivore diets based on the sequences of plant DNA extracted from animal dung.

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