This video follows germplasm bank coordinator Cristian Zavala Espinosa and geneticist Sarah Hearne, who are part of the global effort to preserve the genetic diversity of maize (corn).

This film begins with phenomena linked to climate change and then examines how Earth’s temperature is controlled, how we know it is changing, and how the current changes compare to those over the last 800,000 years.

This short video explores how the symbiotic relationship between certain plants and fungi allows these organisms to survive in very hot temperatures.

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

This video describes the work of biologists Steve Palumbi and Megan Morikawa, who use field and controlled experiments to understand the mechanisms that allow some corals to tolerate a greater amount of heat stress than other corals.

This video follows biologist Liz Hadly in Yellowstone National Park as she discusses how ecosystems are threatened by warming temperatures.

This animation zooms into a coral reef to explore the tiny animals that build reefs, the photosynthetic algae inside their cells, and the damaging process of coral bleaching.

This animation explores how carbon enters the atmosphere and can be removed through a series of chemical reactions.

This animation provides an overview of the greenhouse effect, a process that warms the atmosphere and surface of Earth.

This video shows real footage of somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) being performed on eggs.

This animation shows how stem cells from early mammalian embryos can be grown and studied in a laboratory.

This animation gives an overview of how a fertilized human egg develops into an embryo.
