In this collection of articles and
snippets, students from the School of Life Sciences at Independent University,
Bangladesh tackle the very latest in the world of biological research.
Bacteria in the Atmosphere Bring Snow and Lightning by Ridwan Hossain
In this article, Ridwan draws from three studies to introduce readers to the atmospheric microbiome and the ways in which it may be able to impact weather patterns.
When Cancer Becomes a SCANDAL by Jabale Rahmat
Jabale dives into the strange world of transmissible cancers in the animal kingdom, and emerges with a fascinating recent paper that links these cancers to the possible origin of new species.
Conflict and Cooperation in the Phage World by Shaheera Rahman
Shaheera debuts in the blog with an awe-inspiring exploration of phage warfare tactics, both among themselves, and against bacteria.
Modern Alchemy: Using Cacao Powder in the Synthesis of Gold Nanoparticles by Samira Hussein
Samira, who is about to complete a transfer to the University of Missouri, takes us into the world of nanochemistry. She breaks down a study on the biosynthesis of gold nanoparticles, which have extensive applications in medicine and research.
The Science of Eliminating Aging by Shalizma Khandaker Orni
Shalizma debuts with a fascinating romp through the latest ways in which scientists are trying to engineer immortality (if you would excuse the hyperbole).
Snippets
Quorum Sensing and Viral Espionage by Shaheera Rahman
This little snippet introduces readers to bacterial communication, and how it may be exploited by eavesdropping bacteriophages to their advantage.
Adaptive Introgression of Neanderthal Genes by Samara Tawziat Choudhury
This transcript of graduated student Samara's three-minute presentation in last year's Famelab National finals tells the story of how we came to have Neanderthal genes and why we still retain them.
What if cancer could jump between
individuals of a species? Can bacteria cause rain? Could we ever escape the constant erosion
of our bodies with time that immutably leads us to our deaths? How do
microscopic entities like bacteria and viruses handle the conflicts that
inevitably arise from living in a world of limited resources and ubiquitous
competition?
Enjoy learning about these and
other fascinating areas from the articles and snippets in our Two Year Anniversary issue
from Here Be Dragons.
