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

This interactive video explores how scientists identify which bat populations are infected with Nipah virus and could transmit the virus to humans.

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.

This interactive module allows students to examine fossils of early humans and compare them to modern primates.

This interactive module explores how CRISPR-Cas9 technology works and the many ways in which scientists are using it in their research.

This short video explores the symbiotic relationship between the Hawaiian bobtail squid and light-producing bacteria.

This short video explores the secrets behind termites’ power to digest an abundant source of food: wood.

This short video explores the symbiotic relationship between giant tube worms and species of chemosynthetic bacteria.

This short video explores the mechanism by which a beewolf wasp passes antibiotic-producing bacteria to its offspring.

This interactive module uses the central dogma as a model for exploring how modern molecular biology technologies can be used to treat different genetic conditions.

This video follows ecologist Caitlin O'Connell-Rodwell, who is studying how elephants can communicate over long distances using low-frequency sounds that travel both in the air and through the ground.

This interactive module explores how different animals — elephants, birds, and bats — have evolved distinct ways of using sound to communicate.
