The Invisible Climate Engineers Running Our Ocean

Ocean microbes quietly power the planet. In this episode, we explore the microscopic organisms that regulate Earth’s climate, produce much of the oxygen we breathe, and move enormous amounts of carbon through the ocean every day. These invisible life forms are not just background players in the ocean system; they are central to how the planet works.
Synthetic biology is now pushing this idea even further. Dr. José Ángel Moreno-Cabezuelo, a synthetic biologist working in Oxford, is engineering ancient microorganisms called cyanobacteria to capture carbon dioxide using sunlight and biology. His work shows how living systems could become part of the climate solutions we desperately need.
Science communication is another major theme of this conversation. After years working inside the scientific system, Dr. Moreno-Cabezuelo began questioning why so much scientific knowledge fails to connect with society. Through his book Heartbeats of Consciousness, he explores the intersection of biology, neuroscience, philosophy, and the human experience, asking a powerful question: if science understands life so well, why does it still struggle to help us understand how to live it?
Listen to learn how microbes shape our planet, how biotechnology may help tackle climate change, and why clarity in science might be one of the most important tools we have for protecting the ocean.

00:00:00,166 --> 00:00:00,666
What if some of
2
00:00:00,666 --> 00:00:00,916
the most
3
00:00:00,916 --> 00:00:01,791
important climate
4
00:00:01,791 --> 00:00:02,458
solutions on
5
00:00:02,458 --> 00:00:03,041
Earth are
6
00:00:03,041 --> 00:00:03,500
invisible?
7
00:00:04,166 --> 00:00:05,333
Not whales, not
8
00:00:05,333 --> 00:00:06,500
coral reefs, not
9
00:00:06,500 --> 00:00:07,000
even forests,
10
00:00:07,625 --> 00:00:08,208
microbes.
11
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:09,833
Tiny organisms
12
00:00:09,833 --> 00:00:10,708
smaller than a
13
00:00:10,708 --> 00:00:11,458
grain of sand
14
00:00:11,458 --> 00:00:12,333
regulate the
15
00:00:12,333 --> 00:00:13,041
planet's climate,
16
00:00:13,333 --> 00:00:14,333
produce a huge
17
00:00:14,416 --> 00:00:15,166
number of the
18
00:00:15,166 --> 00:00:15,708
oxygen we
19
00:00:15,708 --> 00:00:16,541
breathe, and move
20
00:00:16,541 --> 00:00:17,458
massive amounts
21
00:00:17,458 --> 00:00:18,583
of carbon through
22
00:00:18,583 --> 00:00:19,041
the ocean
23
00:00:19,041 --> 00:00:20,208
every single
24
00:00:20,333 --> 00:00:21,625
day. Scientists
25
00:00:21,625 --> 00:00:22,416
are now exploring
26
00:00:22,416 --> 00:00:23,083
how some of these
27
00:00:23,083 --> 00:00:23,750
organisms could
28
00:00:23,750 --> 00:00:24,833
even help us
29
00:00:24,833 --> 00:00:26,000
capture carbon
30
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:27,458
dioxide and fight
31
00:00:27,458 --> 00:00:28,208
climate change.
32
00:00:28,625 --> 00:00:29,041
But today's
33
00:00:29,041 --> 00:00:29,833
conversation goes
34
00:00:29,833 --> 00:00:30,916
beyond micros and
35
00:00:30,916 --> 00:00:31,541
biotechnology
36
00:00:31,916 --> 00:00:32,958
because our guest
37
00:00:32,958 --> 00:00:34,083
is asking a much
38
00:00:34,083 --> 00:00:34,958
bigger question.
39
00:00:34,958 --> 00:00:36,041
If science
40
00:00:36,041 --> 00:00:36,875
understands
41
00:00:36,875 --> 00:00:37,666
life so well
42
00:00:37,666 --> 00:00:38,250
at the molecular
43
00:00:38,250 --> 00:00:39,541
level, why does
44
00:00:39,541 --> 00:00:40,125
it struggle to
45
00:00:40,125 --> 00:00:40,541
help us
46
00:00:40,541 --> 00:00:41,875
understand how we
47
00:00:41,875 --> 00:00:42,958
live? This
48
00:00:42,958 --> 00:00:43,291
is how to
49
00:00:43,291 --> 00:00:43,875
Protect the Ocean
50
00:00:43,875 --> 00:00:44,500

week's episode.
67
00:00:56,208 --> 00:00:56,541
Today I'm
68
00:00:56,541 --> 00:00:57,375
speaking with Dr.
69
00:00:57,666 --> 00:00:58,166
Jose Angel
70
00:00:58,166 --> 00:00:59,750
Moreno-Cabezuelo,
71
00:00:59,750 --> 00:01:00,166
a synthetic
72
00:01:00,166 --> 00:01:00,958
biologist working
73
00:01:00,958 --> 00:01:01,541
in Oxford where
74
00:01:01,541 --> 00:01:02,333
he leads research
75
00:01:02,333 --> 00:01:03,458
engineering sound
76
00:01:03,458 --> 00:01:04,541
of bacteria, some
77
00:01:04,541 --> 00:01:05,208
of the oldest
78
00:01:05,208 --> 00:01:05,750
organisms
79
00:01:05,750 --> 00:01:06,416
on Earth,
80
00:01:06,666 --> 00:01:07,458
to capture carbon
81
00:01:07,458 --> 00:01:08,333
dioxide using
82
00:01:08,333 --> 00:01:09,250
sunlight and
83
00:01:09,250 --> 00:01:10,875
biology. His work
84
00:01:10,875 --> 00:01:11,375
sits at the
85
00:01:11,375 --> 00:01:12,250
intersection of
86
00:01:12,250 --> 00:01:13,083
biology, climate
87
00:01:13,083 --> 00:01:13,875
solutions, and
88
00:01:13,875 --> 00:01:14,333
biotechnology,
89
00:01:15,041 --> 00:01:15,291
using
90
00:01:15,291 --> 00:01:16,666
microorganisms as
91
00:01:16,666 --> 00:01:17,166
light-powered
92
00:01:17,166 --> 00:01:17,958
living factories
93
00:01:17,958 --> 00:01:19,000
that can help us
94
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:20,166
rethink how we
95
00:01:20,166 --> 00:01:20,916
produce materials
96
00:01:21,208 --> 00:01:21,875
and reduce
97
00:01:21,875 --> 00:01:22,916
emissions. But
98
00:01:22,916 --> 00:01:23,416
Dr. Moreno
99
00:01:23,416 --> 00:01:24,750
Cabezuelo is also exploring
100
00:01:24,750 --> 00:01:26,250
something deeper.
101
00:01:26,791 --> 00:01:27,000
After
102
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:27,833
years inside
103
00:01:27,833 --> 00:01:28,291
the scientific
104
00:01:28,291 --> 00:01:28,916
systems,
105
00:01:29,333 --> 00:01:29,625
publishing
106
00:01:29,625 --> 00:01:30,333
papers, and
107
00:01:30,333 --> 00:01:30,666
presenting
108
00:01:30,666 --> 00:01:31,250
research around
109
00:01:31,250 --> 00:01:31,375
the
110
00:01:31,375 --> 00:01:32,333
world, he began
111
00:01:32,333 --> 00:01:33,125
asking difficult
112
00:01:33,125 --> 00:01:33,750
questions about
113
00:01:33,750 --> 00:01:34,291
how science
114
00:01:34,291 --> 00:01:34,750
communicates
115
00:01:34,750 --> 00:01:35,958
knowledge and why
116
00:01:35,958 --> 00:01:36,500
so much
117
00:01:36,500 --> 00:01:37,125
of it fails
118
00:01:37,208 --> 00:01:37,958
to connect with
119
00:01:37,958 --> 00:01:39,125
people it's meant
120
00:01:39,125 --> 00:01:40,291
to serve. That
121
00:01:40,291 --> 00:01:41,000
journey led him
122
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:41,666
right to the
123
00:01:41,666 --> 00:01:41,916
book,
124
00:01:42,166 --> 00:01:42,625
Heartbeats of
125
00:01:42,625 --> 00:01:43,791
Consciousness, a
126
00:01:43,791 --> 00:01:44,583
story that blends
127
00:01:44,583 --> 00:01:45,291
neuroscience,
128
00:01:45,291 --> 00:01:45,708
biology,
129
00:01:46,041 --> 00:01:47,250
philosophy, and
130
00:01:47,250 --> 00:01:47,750
the human
131
00:01:47,750 --> 00:01:48,541
experience of
132
00:01:48,541 --> 00:01:49,041
understanding
133
00:01:49,041 --> 00:01:50,208
life. Today we're
134
00:01:50,208 --> 00:01:50,583
going to talk
135
00:01:50,583 --> 00:01:51,416
about microbes
136
00:01:51,416 --> 00:01:52,708
that help run the
137
00:01:52,708 --> 00:01:53,500
planet, the
138
00:01:53,500 --> 00:01:54,000
promise of
139
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:54,416
biological
140
00:01:54,416 --> 00:01:54,875
climate
141
00:01:54,875 --> 00:01:55,708
solutions, and
142
00:01:55,708 --> 00:01:56,708
why science might
143
00:01:56,708 --> 00:01:57,541
need to rethink
144
00:01:57,541 --> 00:01:58,750
how it speaks to
145
00:01:58,750 --> 00:01:59,708
the world. Here's
146
00:01:59,708 --> 00:02:00,041
the interview
147
00:02:00,041 --> 00:02:01,458
with Jose and Joy
148
00:02:01,458 --> 00:02:02,083
and I'll talk to
149
00:02:02,083 --> 00:02:02,541
you after.
150
00:02:02,916 --> 00:02:04,083
Jose, welcome to
151
00:02:04,083 --> 00:02:04,458
the How to
152
00:02:04,458 --> 00:02:05,041
Protect the Ocean
153
00:02:05,041 --> 00:02:06,000
podcast. Are you
154
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:06,791
ready to talk
155
00:02:06,791 --> 00:02:07,583
about microbes
156
00:02:07,583 --> 00:02:07,916
and
157
00:02:07,916 --> 00:02:08,875
cyanobacteria?
158
00:02:09,291 --> 00:02:10,791
Yes, ready and
159
00:02:10,791 --> 00:02:11,375
really excited
160
00:02:11,375 --> 00:02:12,416
for that. All
161
00:02:12,416 --> 00:02:13,041
right, I'm
162
00:02:13,041 --> 00:02:13,833
excited as well.
163
00:02:14,125 --> 00:02:14,333
You know, we
164
00:02:14,333 --> 00:02:15,041
don't get to talk
165
00:02:15,041 --> 00:02:16,000
about microbes a
166
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:16,708
lot, but they're
167
00:02:16,708 --> 00:02:17,208
such an important
168
00:02:17,208 --> 00:02:18,291
part of the ocean
169
00:02:18,291 --> 00:02:19,208
that I think it's
170
00:02:19,208 --> 00:02:19,708
really important
171
00:02:19,708 --> 00:02:20,625
when you when you
172
00:02:20,625 --> 00:02:21,166
connect with me
173
00:02:21,166 --> 00:02:21,916
Jose. And you're
174
00:02:21,916 --> 00:02:22,375
like, Hey, this
175
00:02:22,375 --> 00:02:23,083
is what I do. I
176
00:02:23,083 --> 00:02:23,500
talk about
177
00:02:23,500 --> 00:02:24,541
cyanobacteria. I
178
00:02:24,541 --> 00:02:25,125
work with it. I
179
00:02:25,125 --> 00:02:25,875
do research on
180
00:02:25,875 --> 00:02:26,875
it. And I'm like,
181
00:02:26,875 --> 00:02:27,583
Okay, this is
182
00:02:27,583 --> 00:02:28,375
cool because we
183
00:02:28,375 --> 00:02:29,500
need to talk more
184
00:02:29,500 --> 00:02:30,333
about microbes,
185
00:02:30,625 --> 00:02:31,166
especially when
186
00:02:31,166 --> 00:02:31,583
we talk about
187
00:02:31,583 --> 00:02:32,375
climate change,
188
00:02:32,750 --> 00:02:33,583
cyanobacteria. There's so much we need to get into. So we're going to talk about your research in it, how you got into and how you got your PhDs, how you got
your PhDs in it, how you got your PhDs, how you got your PhDs in it, how you got your PhDs in it, how you got your PhDs in it, how you got your PhDs in it.
189
00:02:33,625 --> 00:02:33,958
There's so much
190
00:02:33,958 --> 00:02:34,375
we need to
191
00:02:34,375 --> 00:02:34,875
get into.
192
00:02:35,375 --> 00:02:35,666
So we're gonna
193
00:02:35,666 --> 00:02:36,583
talk about your
194
00:02:36,583 --> 00:02:37,458
research in it,
195
00:02:37,458 --> 00:02:38,125
how you got into
196
00:02:38,125 --> 00:02:38,583
it, how you got
197
00:02:38,583 --> 00:02:39,083
your PhD
198
00:02:39,083 --> 00:02:39,958
and so forth,
199
00:02:40,458 --> 00:02:41,041
and where you are
200
00:02:41,041 --> 00:02:41,958
today and what
201
00:02:41,958 --> 00:02:42,125
you're
202
00:02:42,125 --> 00:02:42,833
doing with this.
203
00:02:43,416 --> 00:02:44,333
But before we do,
204
00:02:44,333 --> 00:02:44,958
let's talk a
205
00:02:44,958 --> 00:02:45,666
little bit about
206
00:02:45,666 --> 00:02:46,166
yourself
207
00:02:46,166 --> 00:02:46,791
and get to know
208
00:02:46,791 --> 00:02:47,458
you a little bit.
209
00:02:47,750 --> 00:02:48,250
Let's start off
210
00:02:48,250 --> 00:02:49,166
with who you are
211
00:02:49,166 --> 00:02:50,500
and what you do.
212
00:02:50,750 --> 00:02:51,208
Hi, Andrea.
213
00:02:51,500 --> 00:02:52,250
First of all,
214
00:02:52,250 --> 00:02:52,708
thank you for
215
00:02:52,708 --> 00:02:53,416
this opportunity.
216
00:02:54,333 --> 00:02:55,083
I am Jose Angel.
217
00:02:55,375 --> 00:02:55,916
I'm a molecular
218
00:02:55,916 --> 00:02:56,750
biologist based
219
00:02:56,750 --> 00:02:57,958
in Osfor, United
220
00:02:57,958 --> 00:02:58,375
Kingdom.
221
00:02:59,250 --> 00:03:00,000
I'm from nearly
222
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:00,500
more than
223
00:03:00,500 --> 00:03:01,458
10 years.
224
00:03:01,500 --> 00:03:01,916
I have been
225
00:03:01,916 --> 00:03:02,291
working
226
00:03:02,291 --> 00:03:04,166
specifically with
227
00:03:04,166 --> 00:03:05,125
an organism
228
00:03:05,125 --> 00:03:05,458
called
229
00:03:05,458 --> 00:03:06,166
Cenobacteria,
230
00:03:06,791 --> 00:03:07,583
some of the most
231
00:03:07,583 --> 00:03:08,041
abundant
232
00:03:08,041 --> 00:03:08,750
photosynthetics
233
00:03:08,750 --> 00:03:09,333
organisms
234
00:03:09,333 --> 00:03:10,041
on Earth.
235
00:03:11,166 --> 00:03:12,083
So I did my PhD
236
00:03:12,083 --> 00:03:13,291
in Spain,
237
00:03:13,541 --> 00:03:14,416
studying how this
238
00:03:14,416 --> 00:03:16,500
organism regulate
239
00:03:16,500 --> 00:03:17,541
glucose uptake
240
00:03:17,708 --> 00:03:18,583
and metabolism in
241
00:03:18,583 --> 00:03:19,250
species like
242
00:03:19,250 --> 00:03:20,333
Cinecococcus,
243
00:03:20,333 --> 00:03:20,958
Plocococcus,
244
00:03:21,541 --> 00:03:21,791
which are
245
00:03:21,791 --> 00:03:22,875
organisms very
246
00:03:22,875 --> 00:03:23,291
interesting
247
00:03:23,291 --> 00:03:24,041
because it
248
00:03:24,041 --> 00:03:24,708
dominates much of
249
00:03:24,708 --> 00:03:26,958
the global ocean.
250
00:03:27,916 --> 00:03:29,833
And since then, I
251
00:03:29,833 --> 00:03:30,750
have been working
252
00:03:30,750 --> 00:03:31,333
in different
253
00:03:31,333 --> 00:03:32,375
countries,
254
00:03:33,375 --> 00:03:35,125
Spain, Portugal,
255
00:03:35,958 --> 00:03:36,708
now in the UK,
256
00:03:37,166 --> 00:03:37,750
including the
257
00:03:37,750 --> 00:03:38,875
development of
258
00:03:38,875 --> 00:03:39,833
fast-growing
259
00:03:39,833 --> 00:03:40,541
Cenobacteria
260
00:03:40,541 --> 00:03:41,000
strain
261
00:03:41,500 --> 00:03:42,291
as a renewable
262
00:03:42,291 --> 00:03:44,000
platform for
263
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:44,833
carbon capture
264
00:03:44,833 --> 00:03:46,250
and sustainable
265
00:03:46,250 --> 00:03:47,250
bio-manufacturing.
266
00:03:48,333 --> 00:03:49,333
And today I am
267
00:03:49,333 --> 00:03:49,666
leading
268
00:03:49,666 --> 00:03:50,625
Cenobacteria
269
00:03:50,625 --> 00:03:51,750
research in a
270
00:03:51,750 --> 00:03:52,458
company called
271
00:03:52,458 --> 00:03:53,208
Cenocapture
272
00:03:53,208 --> 00:03:54,166
in Osfor
273
00:03:54,791 --> 00:03:55,458
in order to
274
00:03:55,458 --> 00:03:56,541
produce a wide
275
00:03:56,541 --> 00:03:57,416
range of
276
00:03:57,416 --> 00:03:57,833
compounds.
277
00:03:58,083 --> 00:03:59,125
Because you can
278
00:03:59,125 --> 00:03:59,708
use this
279
00:03:59,708 --> 00:04:02,125
Cenobacteria in
280
00:04:02,125 --> 00:04:03,000
order to produce
281
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:03,166
like
282
00:04:03,166 --> 00:04:03,916
compounds like
283
00:04:03,916 --> 00:04:04,416
biomedical
284
00:04:04,416 --> 00:04:05,458
compounds,
285
00:04:05,458 --> 00:04:07,458
biofuel, and so
286
00:04:07,458 --> 00:04:08,916
many compounds
287
00:04:08,916 --> 00:04:10,333
that have a lot
288
00:04:10,333 --> 00:04:10,833
of applications.
289
00:04:13,041 --> 00:04:14,583
But the thing
290
00:04:14,583 --> 00:04:15,500
about the
291
00:04:15,500 --> 00:04:16,375
technical details
292
00:04:16,375 --> 00:04:17,500
and publication,
293
00:04:17,708 --> 00:04:18,166
the thing that
294
00:04:18,166 --> 00:04:18,541
most
295
00:04:18,541 --> 00:04:20,041
still amaze me
296
00:04:20,416 --> 00:04:22,125
is this. And it
297
00:04:22,125 --> 00:04:22,958
is this organism
298
00:04:22,958 --> 00:04:23,583
that I am
299
00:04:23,583 --> 00:04:24,750
studying every
300
00:04:24,750 --> 00:04:25,750
day in the
301
00:04:25,750 --> 00:04:26,166
laboratory,
302
00:04:27,041 --> 00:04:27,458
are responsible
303
00:04:27,458 --> 00:04:29,166
for around half
304
00:04:29,166 --> 00:04:29,833
of the oxygen
305
00:04:29,833 --> 00:04:30,791
that we breathe.
306
00:04:31,416 --> 00:04:31,666
So think
307
00:04:31,666 --> 00:04:32,333
about that.
308
00:04:32,875 --> 00:04:33,375
And most of the
309
00:04:33,375 --> 00:04:35,166
people don't even
310
00:04:35,166 --> 00:04:35,875
know that they
311
00:04:35,875 --> 00:04:37,916
exist because we
312
00:04:37,916 --> 00:04:38,541
tend to protect
313
00:04:38,541 --> 00:04:39,291
what we see,
314
00:04:40,125 --> 00:04:41,333
but it is what we
315
00:04:41,333 --> 00:04:42,083
don't see that
316
00:04:42,083 --> 00:04:43,375
keep us alive.
317
00:04:44,333 --> 00:04:45,291
And that's why I
318
00:04:45,291 --> 00:04:46,333
felt such a
319
00:04:46,333 --> 00:04:47,000
strong connection
320
00:04:47,375 --> 00:04:47,958
with your
321
00:04:47,958 --> 00:04:48,583
podcast, Andrew,
322
00:04:49,083 --> 00:04:49,458
because
323
00:04:49,458 --> 00:04:50,166
protecting the
324
00:04:50,166 --> 00:04:51,958
ocean, it is not
325
00:04:51,958 --> 00:04:52,500
just about
326
00:04:52,500 --> 00:04:52,958
protecting
327
00:04:52,958 --> 00:04:53,750
the water,
328
00:04:54,333 --> 00:04:54,958
it's about
329
00:04:54,958 --> 00:04:55,791
protecting the
330
00:04:55,791 --> 00:04:56,875
invisible system
331
00:04:56,875 --> 00:04:57,958
that sustains
332
00:04:57,958 --> 00:04:58,416
life
333
00:04:58,416 --> 00:05:00,916
itself. So today,
334
00:05:00,916 --> 00:05:02,000
Andrew, I want to
335
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:03,125
start the podcast
336
00:05:03,125 --> 00:05:04,000
in a slightly
337
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:04,708
different way.
338
00:05:05,458 --> 00:05:05,916
And this is a
339
00:05:05,916 --> 00:05:06,791
good exercise for
340
00:05:06,791 --> 00:05:07,416
the audience.
341
00:05:08,583 --> 00:05:09,916
So I want you and
342
00:05:09,916 --> 00:05:10,791
the audience to
343
00:05:10,791 --> 00:05:11,750
close your eyes
344
00:05:11,750 --> 00:05:12,458
for a moment.
345
00:05:13,916 --> 00:05:14,375
Just three
346
00:05:14,375 --> 00:05:14,541
seconds.
347
00:05:14,583 --> 00:05:15,583
Okay, done.
348
00:05:18,125 --> 00:05:20,416
And now, when you
349
00:05:20,416 --> 00:05:21,166
have them close,
350
00:05:21,750 --> 00:05:22,541
feel something
351
00:05:22,541 --> 00:05:23,500
happening right
352
00:05:23,500 --> 00:05:25,208
now without you
353
00:05:25,208 --> 00:05:26,125
having to do
354
00:05:26,125 --> 00:05:27,833
anything for it
355
00:05:27,833 --> 00:05:28,416
to happen.
356
00:05:30,833 --> 00:05:31,833
And your head is
357
00:05:31,833 --> 00:05:34,250
beating. So you
358
00:05:34,250 --> 00:05:34,833
cannot put your
359
00:05:34,833 --> 00:05:36,750
eyes and that
360
00:05:36,750 --> 00:05:38,291
head beats depend
361
00:05:38,291 --> 00:05:39,833
on oxygen.
362
00:05:41,041 --> 00:05:41,708
And a wrong half
363
00:05:41,708 --> 00:05:42,583
of that oxygen
364
00:05:42,583 --> 00:05:44,000
comes from
365
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:44,750
microscopic
366
00:05:44,750 --> 00:05:46,041
marine organism,
367
00:05:46,666 --> 00:05:47,500
not from
368
00:05:47,500 --> 00:05:48,208
forest alone,
369
00:05:48,958 --> 00:05:49,791
from the ocean,
370
00:05:50,916 --> 00:05:51,541
because the ocean
371
00:05:51,541 --> 00:05:52,916
is not, you know,
372
00:05:53,166 --> 00:05:54,208
out there. It is
373
00:05:54,208 --> 00:05:54,708
circulating
374
00:05:54,708 --> 00:05:55,500
through you
375
00:05:55,500 --> 00:05:56,000
right now.
376
00:05:56,958 --> 00:05:57,375
When we think
377
00:05:57,375 --> 00:05:58,208
about the ocean,
378
00:05:58,666 --> 00:05:59,458
you know, most of
379
00:05:59,458 --> 00:06:00,041
the people we
380
00:06:00,041 --> 00:06:01,666
imagine, whales,
381
00:06:02,208 --> 00:06:03,083
coral reefs,
382
00:06:03,583 --> 00:06:05,208
sharks, wave
383
00:06:05,208 --> 00:06:06,375
crossings, a
384
00:06:06,375 --> 00:06:08,000
cliff. But the
385
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:08,833
true engine in
386
00:06:08,833 --> 00:06:09,583
the true engine
387
00:06:09,583 --> 00:06:10,333
of this,
388
00:06:10,583 --> 00:06:11,958
the ocean is
389
00:06:11,958 --> 00:06:12,833
invisible. It's
390
00:06:12,833 --> 00:06:13,000
the
391
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:14,500
phytoplactone.
392
00:06:14,500 --> 00:06:15,708
And among them
393
00:06:15,708 --> 00:06:17,000
cyanobacteria.
394
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:18,750
They are
395
00:06:18,750 --> 00:06:19,541
microscopic.
396
00:06:19,875 --> 00:06:20,958
You can see them
397
00:06:20,958 --> 00:06:21,916
drifting in open
398
00:06:21,916 --> 00:06:23,500
water. And yet
399
00:06:23,500 --> 00:06:24,583
they regulated
400
00:06:24,583 --> 00:06:25,416
atmospheric
401
00:06:25,416 --> 00:06:26,125
chemistry,
402
00:06:26,708 --> 00:06:27,583
absorb carbon
403
00:06:27,583 --> 00:06:29,500
dioxide and
404
00:06:29,500 --> 00:06:30,833
products oxygen.
405
00:06:31,500 --> 00:06:32,458
And actually, let
406
00:06:32,458 --> 00:06:33,583
me show you
407
00:06:33,583 --> 00:06:34,000
something.
408
00:06:36,791 --> 00:06:38,625
So this may look
409
00:06:38,625 --> 00:06:40,500
nothing special,
410
00:06:40,791 --> 00:06:42,875
just a green
411
00:06:42,875 --> 00:06:44,000
liquid in a
412
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:45,541
flask. But when
413
00:06:45,541 --> 00:06:46,541
you are looking
414
00:06:46,541 --> 00:06:47,000
at here,
415
00:06:47,666 --> 00:06:48,750
are billions of
416
00:06:48,750 --> 00:06:49,333
cyanobacteria
417
00:06:49,333 --> 00:06:50,625
cells performing
418
00:06:50,625 --> 00:06:51,250
photosynthesis
419
00:06:51,250 --> 00:06:52,833
right now. So
420
00:06:52,833 --> 00:06:53,208
they are
421
00:06:53,208 --> 00:06:54,208
absorbing light.
422
00:06:54,250 --> 00:06:55,041
They are fixing
423
00:06:55,041 --> 00:06:55,958
carbon dioxide.
424
00:06:56,791 --> 00:06:57,083
They are
425
00:06:57,083 --> 00:06:58,666
releasing the
426
00:06:58,666 --> 00:06:59,708
oxygen. So this
427
00:06:59,708 --> 00:06:59,958
is getting
428
00:06:59,958 --> 00:07:00,458
culture.
429
00:07:01,833 --> 00:07:02,500
We think about
430
00:07:02,500 --> 00:07:03,583
that. Multiply
431
00:07:03,583 --> 00:07:04,708
across the region
432
00:07:04,708 --> 00:07:06,041
of the ocean is
433
00:07:06,041 --> 00:07:06,833
what established
434
00:07:06,833 --> 00:07:07,750
our atmosphere.
435
00:07:08,750 --> 00:07:09,041
And what
436
00:07:09,041 --> 00:07:10,750
fascinated me is
437
00:07:10,750 --> 00:07:12,541
that something so
438
00:07:12,541 --> 00:07:13,708
visually and
439
00:07:13,708 --> 00:07:15,083
impressive is
440
00:07:15,125 --> 00:07:17,000
this biolike
441
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,000
monumental. You
442
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:20,125
don't need a
443
00:07:20,125 --> 00:07:20,958
whale to regulate
444
00:07:20,958 --> 00:07:22,125
climate.
445
00:07:22,583 --> 00:07:23,250
Sometimes you
446
00:07:23,250 --> 00:07:25,166
need just cells,
447
00:07:25,791 --> 00:07:26,208
tiny ones.
448
00:07:27,500 --> 00:07:29,125
So now, right,
449
00:07:29,916 --> 00:07:30,500
billions of them.
450
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:32,500
Absolutely. Now
451
00:07:32,500 --> 00:07:33,416
here is something
452
00:07:33,416 --> 00:07:34,000
extraordinary.
453
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:35,916
Because the king
454
00:07:35,916 --> 00:07:36,916
of organisms you
455
00:07:36,916 --> 00:07:37,916
just saw in that
456
00:07:37,916 --> 00:07:39,375
flask, one
457
00:07:39,375 --> 00:07:40,041
changed
458
00:07:40,041 --> 00:07:40,666
entire planet.
459
00:07:41,500 --> 00:07:42,458
Because around
460
00:07:42,458 --> 00:07:44,958
2.5 billion years
461
00:07:44,958 --> 00:07:45,791
ago, the
462
00:07:45,791 --> 00:07:46,458
unsinsane
463
00:07:46,458 --> 00:07:47,875
bacteria began
464
00:07:47,875 --> 00:07:49,500
releasing oxygen
465
00:07:49,500 --> 00:07:50,541
as a bioproduct
466
00:07:50,541 --> 00:07:50,708
of
467
00:07:50,708 --> 00:07:51,458
photosynthesis.
468
00:07:52,375 --> 00:07:53,000
And at the time,
469
00:07:53,458 --> 00:07:53,750
Earth's
470
00:07:53,750 --> 00:07:54,125
atmosphere
471
00:07:54,125 --> 00:07:55,416
contained almost
472
00:07:55,416 --> 00:07:57,041
no free oxygen.
473
00:07:58,125 --> 00:07:59,833
Life was mostly
474
00:07:59,833 --> 00:08:00,625
anaerobic.
475
00:08:01,375 --> 00:08:02,750
So oxygen was in
476
00:08:02,750 --> 00:08:04,375
fact toxic to
477
00:08:04,375 --> 00:08:05,041
many organisms
478
00:08:05,041 --> 00:08:06,000
that they started
479
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:06,458
to appear.
480
00:08:06,958 --> 00:08:08,000
But over a
481
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:08,625
million years,
482
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:09,541
oxygen
483
00:08:09,541 --> 00:08:11,166
accumulated in the atmosphere in
484
00:08:11,166 --> 00:08:12,250
Wagway, Nokal,
485
00:08:12,666 --> 00:08:13,000
the Great
486
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:13,791
Oxidation
487
00:08:14,333 --> 00:08:15,583
Event. And that
488
00:08:15,583 --> 00:08:16,000
changed
489
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:17,750
everything. It
490
00:08:17,750 --> 00:08:18,625
transformed the
491
00:08:18,625 --> 00:08:19,625
ocean chemistry,
492
00:08:20,291 --> 00:08:20,916
it received the
493
00:08:20,916 --> 00:08:21,416
atmosphere,
494
00:08:22,083 --> 00:08:23,208
it made complex
495
00:08:23,208 --> 00:08:25,000
life possible. So
496
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:25,625
without that
497
00:08:25,625 --> 00:08:27,083
shift, there will
498
00:08:27,083 --> 00:08:27,750
be no
499
00:08:27,750 --> 00:08:29,333
animals, no forest,
500
00:08:29,833 --> 00:08:30,750
and we won't be
501
00:08:30,750 --> 00:08:31,958
here now having
502
00:08:31,958 --> 00:08:32,166
this
503
00:08:32,166 --> 00:08:32,708
conversation.
504
00:08:33,458 --> 00:08:37,166
The air, for
505
00:08:37,166 --> 00:08:37,916
example, that we
506
00:08:37,916 --> 00:08:40,166
bred today is in
507
00:08:40,166 --> 00:08:41,333
many ways the
508
00:08:41,333 --> 00:08:42,208
legacy of those
509
00:08:42,208 --> 00:08:43,000
microorganisms.
510
00:08:44,875 --> 00:08:45,083
And what
511
00:08:45,083 --> 00:08:46,166
fascinates me is
512
00:08:46,166 --> 00:08:47,166
this, it's the
513
00:08:47,166 --> 00:08:48,000
smallest organism
514
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:48,916
in the ocean.
515
00:08:49,708 --> 00:08:50,833
One, recites the
516
00:08:50,833 --> 00:08:51,666
chemistry of the
517
00:08:51,666 --> 00:08:52,333
entire planet.
518
00:08:53,041 --> 00:08:54,875
Because we often
519
00:08:54,875 --> 00:08:56,083
think planetary
520
00:08:56,083 --> 00:08:57,083
chain requires,
521
00:08:57,375 --> 00:08:58,833
for example, something
522
00:08:58,833 --> 00:09:00,541
massive, for
523
00:09:00,541 --> 00:09:03,291
example, tectonic
524
00:09:03,291 --> 00:09:04,375
plates, volcanic
525
00:09:04,375 --> 00:09:05,000
eruption,
526
00:09:05,791 --> 00:09:06,625
asthetic impact.
527
00:09:07,708 --> 00:09:08,416
But sometimes
528
00:09:08,416 --> 00:09:09,875
planetary
529
00:09:09,875 --> 00:09:10,500
transformation
530
00:09:10,500 --> 00:09:11,250
comes from
531
00:09:11,250 --> 00:09:12,625
biology, from
532
00:09:12,625 --> 00:09:14,000
cells, from
533
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:14,666
tiny ones.
534
00:09:16,666 --> 00:09:17,333
The historical
535
00:09:17,333 --> 00:09:18,375
purpose matters
536
00:09:18,375 --> 00:09:19,458
because it
537
00:09:19,458 --> 00:09:20,333
reminds us that
538
00:09:20,333 --> 00:09:21,375
the ocean is not
539
00:09:21,375 --> 00:09:22,500
a passive
540
00:09:22,500 --> 00:09:23,000
background.
541
00:09:23,916 --> 00:09:24,833
It's an effective
542
00:09:24,833 --> 00:09:26,250
regulatory system
543
00:09:26,250 --> 00:09:27,583
and it has saved
544
00:09:27,583 --> 00:09:29,041
Earth before and
545
00:09:29,041 --> 00:09:29,875
also it
546
00:09:29,875 --> 00:09:30,875
continues to
547
00:09:30,875 --> 00:09:33,041
to save it now.
548
00:09:33,750 --> 00:09:35,083
But, Andrew, here
549
00:09:35,083 --> 00:09:35,708
is the paradox.
550
00:09:36,458 --> 00:09:37,000
Because the same
551
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:37,416
organism
552
00:09:37,416 --> 00:09:37,958
that once
553
00:09:38,083 --> 00:09:38,750
received the
554
00:09:38,750 --> 00:09:39,500
Earth as more
555
00:09:39,500 --> 00:09:40,708
fair and now
556
00:09:40,708 --> 00:09:41,291
living in an
557
00:09:41,291 --> 00:09:42,375
ocean that it is
558
00:09:42,375 --> 00:09:44,041
changing very,
559
00:09:44,041 --> 00:09:44,583
very fast.
560
00:09:45,166 --> 00:09:45,791
Because as you
561
00:09:45,791 --> 00:09:47,625
know, the ocean
562
00:09:47,625 --> 00:09:48,083
and the peritor
563
00:09:48,083 --> 00:09:50,041
are rising. The
564
00:09:50,041 --> 00:09:51,083
surface water are
565
00:09:51,083 --> 00:09:51,416
becoming
566
00:09:51,791 --> 00:09:52,750
more stratified,
567
00:09:53,333 --> 00:09:53,958
which limits
568
00:09:53,958 --> 00:09:55,208
nutrient mixing
569
00:09:55,208 --> 00:09:56,041
from deeper
570
00:09:56,041 --> 00:09:57,625
layers. The
571
00:09:57,625 --> 00:09:58,416
carbon dioxide
572
00:09:58,416 --> 00:09:58,875
dissolves
573
00:09:58,875 --> 00:09:59,833
into sea water
574
00:09:59,833 --> 00:10:01,125
and it's
575
00:10:01,125 --> 00:10:01,791
chemistry and
576
00:10:01,791 --> 00:10:02,875
contributing to
577
00:10:02,875 --> 00:10:03,791
one big problem
578
00:10:03,791 --> 00:10:04,458
that we have
579
00:10:04,458 --> 00:10:05,041
nowadays,
580
00:10:05,041 --> 00:10:05,666
that it is
581
00:10:05,958 --> 00:10:06,875
decidification.
582
00:10:08,083 --> 00:10:08,541
And at the
583
00:10:08,541 --> 00:10:09,625
microbial level,
584
00:10:09,958 --> 00:10:10,916
this changes of
585
00:10:10,916 --> 00:10:11,500
course matter.
586
00:10:12,250 --> 00:10:12,500
Because
587
00:10:12,500 --> 00:10:13,166
cyanobacteria
588
00:10:13,458 --> 00:10:14,041
are highly
589
00:10:14,041 --> 00:10:14,833
sensitive to
590
00:10:14,833 --> 00:10:15,708
light intensity,
591
00:10:16,166 --> 00:10:16,416
temperature
592
00:10:16,416 --> 00:10:18,041
range, nutrient
593
00:10:18,041 --> 00:10:18,666
availability,
594
00:10:19,583 --> 00:10:21,500
even a small sea
595
00:10:21,500 --> 00:10:22,875
can alter growth
596
00:10:22,875 --> 00:10:23,875
rates, community
597
00:10:23,875 --> 00:10:25,041
composition and
598
00:10:25,041 --> 00:10:25,416
metabolic
599
00:10:25,416 --> 00:10:25,958
balance.
600
00:10:27,166 --> 00:10:27,916
And because this
601
00:10:27,916 --> 00:10:30,125
organism sit at
602
00:10:30,125 --> 00:10:31,041
the base of the
603
00:10:31,041 --> 00:10:31,583
marine food
604
00:10:31,583 --> 00:10:32,958
waste, change at
605
00:10:32,958 --> 00:10:33,416
a level
606
00:10:33,416 --> 00:10:34,291
that don't
607
00:10:34,625 --> 00:10:35,583
stay microscopic.
608
00:10:36,041 --> 00:10:36,666
Because they
609
00:10:36,666 --> 00:10:37,958
propagate through
610
00:10:37,958 --> 00:10:39,041
the food waste,
611
00:10:39,833 --> 00:10:40,625
affecting primary
612
00:10:40,625 --> 00:10:41,166
productive,
613
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:42,541
for example,
614
00:10:42,750 --> 00:10:43,416
carbon cycling
615
00:10:43,416 --> 00:10:45,375
and the dynamic
616
00:10:45,375 --> 00:10:45,958
of entire
617
00:10:45,958 --> 00:10:46,625
ecosystem.
618
00:10:47,416 --> 00:10:48,416
Because probably
619
00:10:48,416 --> 00:10:49,375
most of us,
620
00:10:49,375 --> 00:10:50,333
we have we have
621
00:10:50,333 --> 00:10:51,500
to say like we
622
00:10:51,500 --> 00:10:52,291
are warming the
623
00:10:52,291 --> 00:10:53,875
planet. But in
624
00:10:53,875 --> 00:10:54,750
reality, we are
625
00:10:54,750 --> 00:10:55,250
altering the
626
00:10:55,250 --> 00:10:55,583
operating
627
00:10:55,583 --> 00:10:57,333
condition of the
628
00:10:57,333 --> 00:10:58,500
very organism
629
00:10:58,500 --> 00:10:59,291
that made our
630
00:10:59,291 --> 00:11:00,166
system possible.
631
00:11:00,916 --> 00:11:01,250
And that
632
00:11:01,250 --> 00:11:01,666
should make
633
00:11:01,708 --> 00:11:04,291
us stop. But not
634
00:11:04,291 --> 00:11:06,125
of fear, but auto
635
00:11:06,125 --> 00:11:08,166
perpestive.
636
00:11:08,166 --> 00:11:09,291
Because when you
637
00:11:09,291 --> 00:11:11,000
tune out across
638
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:12,500
billion
639
00:11:12,500 --> 00:11:13,541
of years of
640
00:11:13,541 --> 00:11:14,375
earth history,
641
00:11:15,041 --> 00:11:15,625
you release
642
00:11:15,625 --> 00:11:16,750
something very
643
00:11:16,750 --> 00:11:17,208
important.
644
00:11:17,500 --> 00:11:18,416
Because we are
645
00:11:18,416 --> 00:11:20,000
not outside of
646
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:20,208
the
647
00:11:20,208 --> 00:11:22,416
system. We are
648
00:11:22,500 --> 00:11:23,250
modifying the
649
00:11:23,250 --> 00:11:24,000
same biological
650
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:24,875
engine that
651
00:11:24,875 --> 00:11:27,791
sustain us. And
652
00:11:27,791 --> 00:11:29,041
one of the most
653
00:11:29,041 --> 00:11:29,416
interesting
654
00:11:29,416 --> 00:11:30,166
aspects of this
655
00:11:30,250 --> 00:11:31,791
issue isn't, I
656
00:11:31,791 --> 00:11:33,458
think that isn't
657
00:11:33,458 --> 00:11:34,958
biological. It's
658
00:11:34,958 --> 00:11:35,666
psychological.
659
00:11:36,958 --> 00:11:38,291
Because Andrew, our
660
00:11:38,291 --> 00:11:39,083
nervous system
661
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:41,125
able to respond,
662
00:11:41,458 --> 00:11:42,625
immediate, you
663
00:11:42,625 --> 00:11:43,291
know, visible
664
00:11:43,291 --> 00:11:44,208
threat, a
665
00:11:44,208 --> 00:11:44,875
predator, for
666
00:11:44,875 --> 00:11:45,208
example,
667
00:11:45,208 --> 00:11:46,250
running through
668
00:11:46,250 --> 00:11:48,291
through us, fire,
669
00:11:48,958 --> 00:11:51,166
a sudden storm or
670
00:11:51,166 --> 00:11:52,000
stress response
671
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:52,625
activate when
672
00:11:52,625 --> 00:11:53,166
something is
673
00:11:53,166 --> 00:11:54,500
fast, loud
674
00:11:54,500 --> 00:11:55,500
and deadly
675
00:11:55,708 --> 00:11:57,333
threatenings. But
676
00:11:57,333 --> 00:11:58,791
you know, you ask
677
00:11:58,791 --> 00:11:59,458
yourself, like
678
00:11:59,458 --> 00:12:00,250
gradual ocean
679
00:12:00,250 --> 00:12:00,708
warming,
680
00:12:01,583 --> 00:12:02,125
microscopy
681
00:12:02,125 --> 00:12:02,958
safe in
682
00:12:03,041 --> 00:12:03,958
phytoplactone
683
00:12:03,958 --> 00:12:04,500
productivity,
684
00:12:05,833 --> 00:12:06,541
training carbon
685
00:12:06,541 --> 00:12:07,458
chemistry happen
686
00:12:07,458 --> 00:12:09,666
over decades, or
687
00:12:09,666 --> 00:12:10,958
biology, I think
688
00:12:10,958 --> 00:12:11,375
that doesn't
689
00:12:11,375 --> 00:12:12,500
register those as
690
00:12:12,500 --> 00:12:13,125
something like
691
00:12:13,125 --> 00:12:14,083
urgent, you know,
692
00:12:14,333 --> 00:12:15,000
because they are
693
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:16,166
too slow, like
694
00:12:16,166 --> 00:12:17,750
too astral, too
695
00:12:17,750 --> 00:12:18,208
invisible.
696
00:12:19,375 --> 00:12:20,083
And the most
697
00:12:20,083 --> 00:12:20,875
interesting thing
698
00:12:20,875 --> 00:12:21,833
is like we tend
699
00:12:21,833 --> 00:12:23,041
to protect what
700
00:12:23,041 --> 00:12:24,125
we see. But
701
00:12:24,125 --> 00:12:24,291
marine
702
00:12:24,291 --> 00:12:25,083
microorganism,
703
00:12:25,500 --> 00:12:25,750
you know,
704
00:12:26,125 --> 00:12:26,833
the real engine
705
00:12:26,833 --> 00:12:27,458
of the most
706
00:12:27,458 --> 00:12:28,208
failed regulation
707
00:12:28,208 --> 00:12:29,375
are invisible.
708
00:12:30,208 --> 00:12:31,250
And invisibility
709
00:12:31,250 --> 00:12:32,291
weakens emotional
710
00:12:32,333 --> 00:12:34,083
urgency. Because
711
00:12:34,083 --> 00:12:35,333
when I first
712
00:12:35,333 --> 00:12:36,125
understood that
713
00:12:36,125 --> 00:12:37,750
nearly half of
714
00:12:37,750 --> 00:12:39,083
the oxygen that
715
00:12:39,083 --> 00:12:39,708
we breathe
716
00:12:40,416 --> 00:12:41,083
comes from the
717
00:12:41,083 --> 00:12:41,916
organism most
718
00:12:41,916 --> 00:12:43,166
people never see,
719
00:12:43,833 --> 00:12:44,583
it generally
720
00:12:44,583 --> 00:12:46,000
change the way I
721
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:46,416
thought about
722
00:12:46,416 --> 00:12:46,708
connection.
723
00:12:47,833 --> 00:12:48,750
It made me
724
00:12:48,750 --> 00:12:51,041
realize how much
725
00:12:51,041 --> 00:12:51,625
of survival
726
00:12:51,625 --> 00:12:52,375
depends on
727
00:12:52,375 --> 00:12:52,833
processes
728
00:12:52,833 --> 00:12:54,291
happening beyond
729
00:12:54,291 --> 00:12:55,291
our own
730
00:12:55,291 --> 00:12:56,000
perception.
731
00:12:56,916 --> 00:12:57,916
Because that idea
732
00:12:57,916 --> 00:13:00,750
stay with me.
733
00:13:01,291 --> 00:13:02,583
Because when you,
734
00:13:03,083 --> 00:13:04,000
you know, when
735
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:04,958
once you are
736
00:13:05,666 --> 00:13:06,291
understanding
737
00:13:06,291 --> 00:13:06,958
that invisible
738
00:13:06,958 --> 00:13:08,291
system sustain
739
00:13:08,291 --> 00:13:10,916
visible life, you
740
00:13:10,916 --> 00:13:11,583
start asking
741
00:13:11,583 --> 00:13:12,166
different
742
00:13:12,166 --> 00:13:12,541
questions
743
00:13:13,583 --> 00:13:13,875
about
744
00:13:13,875 --> 00:13:14,791
responsibility,
745
00:13:15,625 --> 00:13:15,750
about
746
00:13:15,750 --> 00:13:16,625
interdependence,
747
00:13:17,125 --> 00:13:19,250
about what is
748
00:13:19,250 --> 00:13:20,416
what it means to
749
00:13:20,416 --> 00:13:21,041
live inside an
750
00:13:21,041 --> 00:13:21,625
assistant you
751
00:13:21,625 --> 00:13:22,541
barely notice.
752
00:13:24,333 --> 00:13:26,083
And Andrew, when
753
00:13:26,083 --> 00:13:27,666
you spend years,
754
00:13:28,416 --> 00:13:29,041
because has been
755
00:13:29,041 --> 00:13:29,666
more than 10
756
00:13:29,666 --> 00:13:30,333
years studied,
757
00:13:30,333 --> 00:13:30,750
you know, this
758
00:13:30,750 --> 00:13:32,041
microorganism,
759
00:13:32,625 --> 00:13:34,708
you begin to see
760
00:13:34,708 --> 00:13:36,916
patterns, because
761
00:13:36,916 --> 00:13:37,416
I'm going to tell
762
00:13:37,458 --> 00:13:37,875
you something
763
00:13:37,875 --> 00:13:38,416
very exciting.
764
00:13:38,458 --> 00:13:39,125
And most of the
765
00:13:39,125 --> 00:13:39,708
people probably
766
00:13:39,708 --> 00:13:41,041
won't know. In
767
00:13:41,041 --> 00:13:42,708
biology, we talk
768
00:13:42,708 --> 00:13:44,041
a lot about
769
00:13:44,708 --> 00:13:45,916
one word called
770
00:13:45,916 --> 00:13:48,041
omeostasis. You
771
00:13:48,041 --> 00:13:49,041
know, the ability
772
00:13:49,041 --> 00:13:50,000
of a system to
773
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:51,000
regulate itself
774
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:51,833
to
775
00:13:51,833 --> 00:13:52,875
maintain balance
776
00:13:52,875 --> 00:13:53,916
despite standard
777
00:13:53,916 --> 00:13:55,958
fluctuation. And
778
00:13:55,958 --> 00:13:56,541
you know, for
779
00:13:56,541 --> 00:13:57,333
example, the
780
00:13:57,333 --> 00:13:58,500
human body does
781
00:13:58,500 --> 00:13:59,416
this constantly,
782
00:13:59,458 --> 00:14:00,083
for example,
783
00:14:00,708 --> 00:14:01,000
temperature
784
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:02,708
regulation, pH
785
00:14:02,708 --> 00:14:04,500
balance, oxygen
786
00:14:04,500 --> 00:14:07,333
level glucose
787
00:14:07,333 --> 00:14:08,250
concentration.
788
00:14:09,333 --> 00:14:09,750
It is like
789
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:10,875
not one organ
790
00:14:10,875 --> 00:14:11,666
acting alone.
791
00:14:12,375 --> 00:14:13,708
It's a network,
792
00:14:13,708 --> 00:14:15,666
you know, as a
793
00:14:15,666 --> 00:14:16,750
society of cells,
794
00:14:17,166 --> 00:14:17,791
each cell
795
00:14:17,791 --> 00:14:19,458
operating with
796
00:14:19,458 --> 00:14:20,416
within limits,
797
00:14:20,875 --> 00:14:21,375
each cell
798
00:14:21,375 --> 00:14:22,333
contributing to
799
00:14:22,333 --> 00:14:24,208
equilibrium. For
800
00:14:24,208 --> 00:14:24,916
example, if one
801
00:14:24,916 --> 00:14:25,875
cell in another
802
00:14:25,875 --> 00:14:27,041
system and adds
803
00:14:27,041 --> 00:14:28,125
only for itself,
804
00:14:28,875 --> 00:14:30,291
we call with the
805
00:14:30,291 --> 00:14:31,500
thing like we we
806
00:14:31,500 --> 00:14:32,750
call the cancer,
807
00:14:33,125 --> 00:14:33,625
because the
808
00:14:33,625 --> 00:14:34,416
planet got in a
809
00:14:34,416 --> 00:14:34,625
similar
810
00:14:34,625 --> 00:14:35,916
way. The ocean
811
00:14:36,791 --> 00:14:37,458
regulate the
812
00:14:37,458 --> 00:14:38,750
temperature is
813
00:14:38,750 --> 00:14:39,458
absorbing the
814
00:14:39,458 --> 00:14:41,375
carbon dioxide is
815
00:14:41,375 --> 00:14:42,000
distributing
816
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:42,666
nutrient
817
00:14:42,666 --> 00:14:44,083
energy is
818
00:14:44,083 --> 00:14:45,625
established the
819
00:14:45,625 --> 00:14:46,666
atmospheric
820
00:14:46,666 --> 00:14:48,500
chemistry. And it
821
00:14:48,500 --> 00:14:49,583
is not just
822
00:14:49,583 --> 00:14:50,541
water, it's a
823
00:14:50,541 --> 00:14:51,541
regulatory
824
00:14:51,541 --> 00:14:52,041
system.
825
00:14:52,875 --> 00:14:53,875
And understanding
826
00:14:53,875 --> 00:14:59,000
that sieve is
827
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:00,000
produce something
828
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:00,833
very deep in me,
829
00:15:01,375 --> 00:15:02,541
because when I
830
00:15:02,541 --> 00:15:04,000
was younger, I
831
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:05,208
had a very simple
832
00:15:05,208 --> 00:15:07,000
image of how
833
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:08,000
life works.
834
00:15:08,791 --> 00:15:09,583
I thought, you
835
00:15:09,583 --> 00:15:10,208
know, like most
836
00:15:10,208 --> 00:15:10,958
of the people of
837
00:15:10,958 --> 00:15:12,166
trees as the
838
00:15:12,166 --> 00:15:13,041
lungs of the
839
00:15:13,041 --> 00:15:14,000
planet. And in
840
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:15,291
fact, when I was
841
00:15:15,291 --> 00:15:16,000
a kid, once I
842
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:17,125
got a test, say
843
00:15:17,125 --> 00:15:18,958
photosynthesis in
844
00:15:18,958 --> 00:15:20,375
a big way with a
845
00:15:20,375 --> 00:15:21,416
big sun and green
846
00:15:21,416 --> 00:15:23,041
leaves on it. And
847
00:15:23,041 --> 00:15:23,500
that was my
848
00:15:23,500 --> 00:15:24,750
mental model. And
849
00:15:24,750 --> 00:15:25,541
then with the
850
00:15:25,541 --> 00:15:25,958
passage of the
851
00:15:25,958 --> 00:15:27,000
year, I
852
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:27,708
discovered that
853
00:15:27,708 --> 00:15:28,500
nearly half of
854
00:15:28,500 --> 00:15:29,250
the oxygen we
855
00:15:29,250 --> 00:15:29,833
breathe comes
856
00:15:29,833 --> 00:15:30,583
from the ocean,
857
00:15:30,875 --> 00:15:31,125
you know,
858
00:15:31,125 --> 00:15:32,041
from this
859
00:15:32,041 --> 00:15:32,416
microscopic
860
00:15:32,416 --> 00:15:34,250
marine life. So
861
00:15:34,250 --> 00:15:34,875
that moment
862
00:15:34,875 --> 00:15:35,666
forced me to
863
00:15:35,666 --> 00:15:36,083
expand my
864
00:15:36,083 --> 00:15:37,416
understanding of
865
00:15:37,416 --> 00:15:38,208
interdependence.
866
00:15:38,583 --> 00:15:39,708
It was no longer
867
00:15:39,708 --> 00:15:41,208
just trees. It
868
00:15:41,208 --> 00:15:41,833
was the invisible
869
00:15:41,833 --> 00:15:42,750
microorganism
870
00:15:43,583 --> 00:15:44,083
that sustained
871
00:15:44,083 --> 00:15:45,625
the visible life,
872
00:15:45,625 --> 00:15:45,958
you know, that
873
00:15:45,958 --> 00:15:46,958
reflection that
874
00:15:46,958 --> 00:15:48,875
eventually became
875
00:15:48,875 --> 00:15:49,583
one of the
876
00:15:49,583 --> 00:15:51,000
foundations of
877
00:15:51,583 --> 00:15:52,541
my book that I
878
00:15:52,541 --> 00:15:53,958
wrote, I call
879
00:15:53,958 --> 00:15:55,791
"Herbit of
880
00:15:55,791 --> 00:15:56,625
Consciousness".
881
00:15:56,625 --> 00:15:57,666
And in that book,
882
00:15:57,666 --> 00:15:58,291
Andriou, I
883
00:15:58,291 --> 00:15:58,750
explore
884
00:15:58,750 --> 00:15:59,625
the bridge
885
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:01,000
between what
886
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:01,875
science explains,
887
00:16:02,041 --> 00:16:02,333
you know, for
888
00:16:02,333 --> 00:16:03,541
example, neurons,
889
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:05,083
cell metabolism,
890
00:16:05,583 --> 00:16:06,000
regulatory
891
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:07,291
system, and what
892
00:16:07,291 --> 00:16:07,750
the conscience
893
00:16:08,125 --> 00:16:09,500
asks of us as
894
00:16:09,500 --> 00:16:10,458
human beings.
895
00:16:11,375 --> 00:16:12,125
Because once that
896
00:16:12,125 --> 00:16:12,583
you understand
897
00:16:12,583 --> 00:16:13,208
that you are
898
00:16:13,208 --> 00:16:13,916
literally
899
00:16:13,916 --> 00:16:14,416
breathing
900
00:16:14,416 --> 00:16:15,041
molecules
901
00:16:15,041 --> 00:16:17,291
processed by
902
00:16:17,291 --> 00:16:17,708
marrying
903
00:16:17,708 --> 00:16:18,958
microorganisms,
904
00:16:19,791 --> 00:16:21,791
the ocean stopped
905
00:16:21,791 --> 00:16:23,166
being an
906
00:16:23,208 --> 00:16:24,500
inventory, you
907
00:16:24,500 --> 00:16:25,166
know, an
908
00:16:25,166 --> 00:16:26,166
environmental
909
00:16:26,166 --> 00:16:27,750
issue, is because
910
00:16:27,750 --> 00:16:28,708
it's become like
911
00:16:28,708 --> 00:16:30,583
a personal one. And that
912
00:16:30,583 --> 00:16:31,000
connection
913
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:31,916
between science
914
00:16:31,916 --> 00:16:33,041
and awareness,
915
00:16:33,958 --> 00:16:35,083
for me started in
916
00:16:35,083 --> 00:16:35,625
the laboratory,
917
00:16:36,208 --> 00:16:36,708
we say no
918
00:16:36,708 --> 00:16:38,333
bacteria. And now
919
00:16:38,333 --> 00:16:40,625
all of these may
920
00:16:40,625 --> 00:16:41,666
sound a bit
921
00:16:41,666 --> 00:16:42,750
heavy. But here
922
00:16:42,750 --> 00:16:43,458
is the part that
923
00:16:43,458 --> 00:16:44,166
gives me hope.
924
00:16:44,166 --> 00:16:45,458
Because the ocean
925
00:16:45,458 --> 00:16:47,250
is not delicate.
926
00:16:47,250 --> 00:16:48,000
It's like a
927
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:49,208
dynamic entity,
928
00:16:49,750 --> 00:16:50,125
you know,
929
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:51,750
microbiology,
930
00:16:52,708 --> 00:16:53,250
community,
931
00:16:54,083 --> 00:16:54,875
Canada, you know,
932
00:16:54,875 --> 00:16:55,333
like ecosystem
933
00:16:55,333 --> 00:16:57,000
can reorganize,
934
00:16:57,500 --> 00:16:58,125
life has been
935
00:16:58,125 --> 00:16:58,708
responded to
936
00:16:58,708 --> 00:16:59,500
change for
937
00:16:59,500 --> 00:16:59,916
billions
938
00:16:59,916 --> 00:17:00,583
of years.
939
00:17:01,291 --> 00:17:01,708
So you know,
940
00:17:01,708 --> 00:17:02,333
bacteria survive
941
00:17:02,333 --> 00:17:02,833
for mass
942
00:17:02,833 --> 00:17:04,291
extinction, they
943
00:17:04,291 --> 00:17:05,000
survive for
944
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:05,541
atmospheric
945
00:17:05,541 --> 00:17:06,958
collapse, they
946
00:17:06,958 --> 00:17:07,500
survive the
947
00:17:07,500 --> 00:17:07,833
condition
948
00:17:07,833 --> 00:17:08,333
radically
949
00:17:08,333 --> 00:17:09,625
different from
950
00:17:09,625 --> 00:17:10,833
today. And the
951
00:17:10,833 --> 00:17:12,375
question is
952
00:17:12,375 --> 00:17:12,875
not whether
953
00:17:13,041 --> 00:17:17,416
we allow the
954
00:17:17,416 --> 00:17:18,041
system enough
955
00:17:18,041 --> 00:17:18,791
stability to
956
00:17:18,791 --> 00:17:20,250
adapt. And in the
957
00:17:20,250 --> 00:17:20,875
laboratory and
958
00:17:20,875 --> 00:17:24,708
the we, when we
959
00:17:24,708 --> 00:17:25,625
study cell
960
00:17:25,625 --> 00:17:27,500
bacteria, we look
961
00:17:27,500 --> 00:17:28,375
to different
962
00:17:28,375 --> 00:17:29,166
parameters, for
963
00:17:29,166 --> 00:17:30,458
example, how like
964
00:17:30,458 --> 00:17:32,083
intensity, you
965
00:17:32,083 --> 00:17:32,458
know, carbon
966
00:17:33,041 --> 00:17:33,875
electricity, and
967
00:17:33,875 --> 00:17:34,458
environmental
968
00:17:34,458 --> 00:17:36,500
stress, affect,
969
00:17:36,500 --> 00:17:37,125
grow and
970
00:17:37,125 --> 00:17:39,291
metabolism. And
971
00:17:39,291 --> 00:17:40,708
we don't do this
972
00:17:40,708 --> 00:17:41,708
just out of
973
00:17:41,708 --> 00:17:42,958
curiosity, we do
974
00:17:42,958 --> 00:17:43,541
this to
975
00:17:43,541 --> 00:17:44,375
understanding the
976
00:17:44,375 --> 00:17:45,000
resilience,
977
00:17:45,500 --> 00:17:46,375
because solution
978
00:17:46,375 --> 00:17:48,416
to climate change
979
00:17:48,416 --> 00:17:49,833
will not come
980
00:17:49,833 --> 00:17:51,541
from panic. They
981
00:17:51,541 --> 00:17:52,166
will come from
982
00:17:52,166 --> 00:17:53,958
understanding how
983
00:17:53,958 --> 00:17:54,500
biological
984
00:17:54,500 --> 00:17:55,458
systems regulate
985
00:17:57,041 --> 00:17:58,916
and aligning all
986
00:17:58,916 --> 00:17:59,166
technologies and
987
00:17:59,166 --> 00:18:00,291
policy with those
988
00:18:00,291 --> 00:18:01,250
principles.
989
00:18:02,666 --> 00:18:03,291
Because ocean
990
00:18:03,291 --> 00:18:04,250
protection is not
991
00:18:04,250 --> 00:18:04,791
only
992
00:18:04,791 --> 00:18:05,458
technological,
993
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:06,791
it's perceptual.
994
00:18:07,375 --> 00:18:07,833
It's beginning
995
00:18:07,833 --> 00:18:09,291
when we see from
996
00:18:09,291 --> 00:18:10,208
seeing the ocean
997
00:18:10,208 --> 00:18:13,041
as a backdrop to
998
00:18:13,041 --> 00:18:14,000
seeing it as an
999
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:14,500
infrastructure,
1000
00:18:15,666 --> 00:18:16,583
like a living
1001
00:18:16,583 --> 00:18:17,125
infrastructure
1002
00:18:17,125 --> 00:18:18,541
that regulate the
1003
00:18:18,541 --> 00:18:20,208
air, the climate
1004
00:18:20,208 --> 00:18:21,208
and the condition
1005
00:18:21,208 --> 00:18:22,291
that make us
1006
00:18:22,291 --> 00:18:23,791
complete life
1007
00:18:23,791 --> 00:18:24,000
possible.
1008
00:18:24,041 --> 00:18:25,750
And that's if in
1009
00:18:25,750 --> 00:18:26,291
precision is
1010
00:18:26,291 --> 00:18:27,875
powerful, because
1011
00:18:27,875 --> 00:18:28,916
once you
1012
00:18:28,916 --> 00:18:30,375
understand that
1013
00:18:30,375 --> 00:18:31,291
your next breath
1014
00:18:31,291 --> 00:18:33,250
depends on marine
1015
00:18:33,250 --> 00:18:34,375
microorganism,
1016
00:18:35,583 --> 00:18:36,208
the conversation
1017
00:18:36,208 --> 00:18:36,666
completely
1018
00:18:36,666 --> 00:18:38,083
changed. It
1019
00:18:38,083 --> 00:18:38,791
because less
1020
00:18:38,791 --> 00:18:39,583
about ideology
1021
00:18:39,583 --> 00:18:41,250
and more about
1022
00:18:41,250 --> 00:18:42,000
biology.
1023
00:18:43,041 --> 00:18:44,541
And, Andrew,
1024
00:18:46,791 --> 00:18:47,208
let's return to
1025
00:18:47,208 --> 00:18:48,000
something simple,
1026
00:18:48,750 --> 00:18:49,166
your breath.
1027
00:18:50,041 --> 00:18:50,916
Right now, as you
1028
00:18:50,916 --> 00:18:52,041
listen to this,
1029
00:18:52,041 --> 00:18:52,958
oxygen is the
1030
00:18:52,958 --> 00:18:54,208
first into your
1031
00:18:54,208 --> 00:18:56,000
bloodstream, is
1032
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:56,958
traveling through
1033
00:18:56,958 --> 00:18:57,625
your circulatory
1034
00:18:57,625 --> 00:18:58,625
system, is
1035
00:18:58,625 --> 00:18:59,958
entering billions
1036
00:18:59,958 --> 00:19:01,333
of cells, is
1037
00:19:01,333 --> 00:19:01,916
powering the
1038
00:19:01,916 --> 00:19:02,875
neurons that
1039
00:19:02,875 --> 00:19:04,500
allow to think,
1040
00:19:04,750 --> 00:19:05,500
to reflect, to
1041
00:19:05,500 --> 00:19:06,333
even question
1042
00:19:06,333 --> 00:19:07,625
what I'm saying.
1043
00:19:08,666 --> 00:19:09,083
And a wrong
1044
00:19:09,083 --> 00:19:09,500
hallow that
1045
00:19:09,500 --> 00:19:10,791
oxygen trace back
1046
00:19:10,791 --> 00:19:11,291
to marine
1047
00:19:11,291 --> 00:19:12,750
microorganism, no
1048
00:19:12,750 --> 00:19:13,541
metaphorically,
1049
00:19:13,791 --> 00:19:15,541
literally. So the
1050
00:19:15,541 --> 00:19:16,416
ocean is not out
1051
00:19:16,416 --> 00:19:17,083
there circulating
1052
00:19:17,083 --> 00:19:18,458
through you. When
1053
00:19:18,458 --> 00:19:19,291
I grow a
1054
00:19:19,291 --> 00:19:19,875
heartbeat of
1055
00:19:19,875 --> 00:19:20,333
consciousness,
1056
00:19:20,958 --> 00:19:21,375
one of the
1057
00:19:21,375 --> 00:19:22,333
central ideas I
1058
00:19:22,333 --> 00:19:26,083
explore was that
1059
00:19:26,083 --> 00:19:26,750
sign and the
1060
00:19:26,750 --> 00:19:27,375
constant are not
1061
00:19:27,375 --> 00:19:28,125
like a separate
1062
00:19:28,125 --> 00:19:28,541
path.
1063
00:19:29,083 --> 00:19:29,833
Understanding how
1064
00:19:29,833 --> 00:19:31,083
life works, so
1065
00:19:31,083 --> 00:19:32,000
change how we live within it.
1066
00:19:32,041 --> 00:19:33,875
And for me,
1067
00:19:34,291 --> 00:19:35,833
studying, you
1068
00:19:35,833 --> 00:19:36,375
know, what area
1069
00:19:36,375 --> 00:19:37,833
was not just
1070
00:19:37,833 --> 00:19:39,500
research. It was
1071
00:19:39,500 --> 00:19:40,708
like perp-stiff.
1072
00:19:41,208 --> 00:19:42,416
It revealed that
1073
00:19:42,416 --> 00:19:43,250
we are not a
1074
00:19:43,250 --> 00:19:44,250
server of the
1075
00:19:44,250 --> 00:19:45,416
planet. We are a
1076
00:19:45,416 --> 00:19:46,333
participant in
1077
00:19:46,333 --> 00:19:46,875
its regulatory
1078
00:19:46,875 --> 00:19:48,250
system, because
1079
00:19:48,250 --> 00:19:48,958
protecting the
1080
00:19:48,958 --> 00:19:49,708
ocean is not
1081
00:19:49,708 --> 00:19:51,250
environmental
1082
00:19:51,250 --> 00:19:52,833
activity. It's
1083
00:19:52,833 --> 00:19:53,375
biological
1084
00:19:53,375 --> 00:19:54,000
realism.
1085
00:19:54,041 --> 00:19:55,791
It is the
1086
00:19:55,791 --> 00:19:56,625
recognition that
1087
00:19:56,625 --> 00:19:57,291
we are integrated
1088
00:19:57,291 --> 00:20:00,750
into the very
1089
00:20:00,750 --> 00:20:01,375
system that we
1090
00:20:01,375 --> 00:20:01,833
are modifying.
1091
00:20:02,291 --> 00:20:03,791
And perhaps when
1092
00:20:03,791 --> 00:20:04,916
we feel that not
1093
00:20:04,916 --> 00:20:05,125
just
1094
00:20:05,125 --> 00:20:05,583
intellectually,
1095
00:20:06,291 --> 00:20:07,958
but deeply, it's
1096
00:20:07,958 --> 00:20:08,666
something as
1097
00:20:08,666 --> 00:20:09,333
simple as
1098
00:20:09,333 --> 00:20:09,791
a breath.
1099
00:20:11,375 --> 00:20:12,250
The way we relate
1100
00:20:12,250 --> 00:20:13,666
the ocean will
1101
00:20:13,666 --> 00:20:14,458
begin to change,
1102
00:20:14,958 --> 00:20:16,041
because in the
1103
00:20:16,041 --> 00:20:17,333
end, it is not
1104
00:20:17,333 --> 00:20:18,083
just about saving
1105
00:20:18,083 --> 00:20:19,333
the water. I
1106
00:20:19,333 --> 00:20:21,458
think it is about
1107
00:20:21,458 --> 00:20:22,583
understanding
1108
00:20:22,583 --> 00:20:23,375
the life.
1109
00:20:25,416 --> 00:20:25,791
Yeah, it's such
1110
00:20:25,791 --> 00:20:26,291
an important
1111
00:20:26,291 --> 00:20:29,166
aspect that we
1112
00:20:29,166 --> 00:20:29,666
don't think
1113
00:20:29,666 --> 00:20:30,958
about. As you
1114
00:20:30,958 --> 00:20:32,208
eloquently
1115
00:20:32,208 --> 00:20:34,375
explain to us, in
1116
00:20:34,375 --> 00:20:37,458
terms of this
1117
00:20:37,458 --> 00:20:40,791
process that
1118
00:20:40,791 --> 00:20:41,875
plays such a big
1119
00:20:41,875 --> 00:20:43,875
role in our
1120
00:20:43,875 --> 00:20:44,916
lives, that we
1121
00:20:44,916 --> 00:20:45,250
don't even
1122
00:20:45,250 --> 00:20:46,000
realize because
1123
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:47,041
we don't see this
1124
00:20:47,041 --> 00:20:47,500
happening.
1125
00:20:48,041 --> 00:20:49,166
You know, we look
1126
00:20:49,166 --> 00:20:50,375
at roles of how
1127
00:20:50,375 --> 00:20:51,750
oxygen is
1128
00:20:51,750 --> 00:20:53,000
produced. We look
1129
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:54,208
at role of how
1130
00:20:54,208 --> 00:20:55,750
carbon is
1131
00:20:55,750 --> 00:20:57,000
sequestered in
1132
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:58,000
the ocean deep
1133
00:20:58,000 --> 00:20:58,791
through the
1134
00:20:58,791 --> 00:21:00,125
biological carbon
1135
00:21:00,125 --> 00:21:02,750
pump. And it's
1136
00:21:02,750 --> 00:21:03,541
such an important
1137
00:21:03,541 --> 00:21:04,458
aspect. And we've
1138
00:21:04,458 --> 00:21:05,000
talked about it
1139
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:06,333
this week with
1140
00:21:06,333 --> 00:21:08,541
each and every
1141
00:21:08,541 --> 00:21:08,791
episode.
1142
00:21:09,041 --> 00:21:10,583
Take me through,
1143
00:21:10,833 --> 00:21:11,583
Jose, your
1144
00:21:11,583 --> 00:21:12,833
research in
1145
00:21:12,833 --> 00:21:13,291
synthetic
1146
00:21:13,291 --> 00:21:14,291
biology. First,
1147
00:21:14,458 --> 00:21:14,875
just kind of
1148
00:21:14,875 --> 00:21:15,791
explain what
1149
00:21:15,791 --> 00:21:16,541
synthetic biology
1150
00:21:16,541 --> 00:21:17,666
is to the
1151
00:21:17,666 --> 00:21:18,458
audience and how
1152
00:21:18,458 --> 00:21:19,208
you're working
1153
00:21:19,208 --> 00:21:20,000
with
1154
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:20,958
cyanobacteria,
1155
00:21:22,416 --> 00:21:23,791
just in general
1156
00:21:23,791 --> 00:21:24,000
in your research.
1157
00:21:24,041 --> 00:21:26,125
So I am going to
1158
00:21:26,125 --> 00:21:27,208
explain this in a
1159
00:21:27,208 --> 00:21:28,500
way that most of
1160
00:21:28,500 --> 00:21:29,000
the people can
1161
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:29,875
understand. So
1162
00:21:29,875 --> 00:21:30,291
synthetic
1163
00:21:30,291 --> 00:21:31,458
biology, so my
1164
00:21:31,458 --> 00:21:31,875
work, for
1165
00:21:31,875 --> 00:21:33,000
example, so
1166
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:34,000
imagine life, for
1167
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:34,708
example, we have
1168
00:21:34,708 --> 00:21:36,500
a car and we want
1169
00:21:36,500 --> 00:21:37,333
to modify this
1170
00:21:37,333 --> 00:21:38,375
car to do this
1171
00:21:38,375 --> 00:21:39,791
faster, you know,
1172
00:21:39,791 --> 00:21:40,583
like to do
1173
00:21:40,583 --> 00:21:41,000
it better.
1174
00:21:41,041 --> 00:21:42,583
So basically, the
1175
00:21:42,583 --> 00:21:43,083
thing that I do
1176
00:21:43,083 --> 00:21:44,375
in the lab is
1177
00:21:44,375 --> 00:21:44,958
like, for
1178
00:21:44,958 --> 00:21:45,833
example, I am not
1179
00:21:45,833 --> 00:21:46,583
like a kind of
1180
00:21:46,583 --> 00:21:48,708
mechanic. So I
1181
00:21:48,708 --> 00:21:49,875
had this, for
1182
00:21:49,875 --> 00:21:50,791
example, I
1183
00:21:50,791 --> 00:21:51,458
remember that I
1184
00:21:51,458 --> 00:21:52,125
saw this
1185
00:21:52,125 --> 00:21:54,541
cyanobacteria. I
1186
00:21:54,541 --> 00:21:54,916
take this
1187
00:21:54,916 --> 00:21:55,708
organism and I
1188
00:21:55,708 --> 00:21:57,166
say, okay, I am
1189
00:21:57,166 --> 00:21:57,833
going to find a
1190
00:21:57,833 --> 00:21:59,083
way to integrate
1191
00:21:59,083 --> 00:22:01,208
a protein and I'm
1192
00:22:01,208 --> 00:22:03,250
going to start in
1193
00:22:03,250 --> 00:22:04,500
a way that I can,
1194
00:22:04,500 --> 00:22:05,958
for example, to
1195
00:22:05,958 --> 00:22:06,583
put something
1196
00:22:06,583 --> 00:22:07,333
inside of the
1197
00:22:07,333 --> 00:22:08,583
cell that allow
1198
00:22:08,583 --> 00:22:10,458
like this, this
1199
00:22:10,458 --> 00:22:10,750
product
1200
00:22:10,750 --> 00:22:11,000
that I have.
1201
00:22:11,041 --> 00:22:11,958
I want to
1202
00:22:11,958 --> 00:22:13,666
express, starting
1203
00:22:13,666 --> 00:22:14,750
to produce in the
1204
00:22:14,750 --> 00:22:15,791
cell in a way
1205
00:22:15,791 --> 00:22:20,500
that just in a we
1206
00:22:20,500 --> 00:22:24,666
see a two and in
1207
00:22:24,666 --> 00:22:25,250
a media, you
1208
00:22:25,250 --> 00:22:25,791
know, neutering
1209
00:22:25,791 --> 00:22:27,250
with carbon and
1210
00:22:27,250 --> 00:22:28,791
sunlight, we will
1211
00:22:28,791 --> 00:22:30,250
be able like in
1212
00:22:30,250 --> 00:22:31,041
the meantime that
1213
00:22:31,041 --> 00:22:31,916
the cell are
1214
00:22:31,916 --> 00:22:33,000
growing, we are
1215
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:33,708
producing this
1216
00:22:33,708 --> 00:22:34,791
compound and we
1217
00:22:34,791 --> 00:22:35,500
can take this
1218
00:22:35,500 --> 00:22:36,583
compound and we
1219
00:22:36,583 --> 00:22:36,958
can take
1220
00:22:36,958 --> 00:22:37,333
advantage
1221
00:22:37,333 --> 00:22:38,000
about that.
1222
00:22:38,250 --> 00:22:39,333
So basically, my
1223
00:22:39,333 --> 00:22:40,125
word is this. And
1224
00:22:40,125 --> 00:22:40,666
for example,
1225
00:22:40,666 --> 00:22:41,500
imagine that
1226
00:22:41,500 --> 00:22:42,916
there is in this
1227
00:22:42,916 --> 00:22:43,375
cyanobacteria,
1228
00:22:43,375 --> 00:22:44,000
there are some
1229
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:45,125
toxin and we want
1230
00:22:45,125 --> 00:22:45,500
to produce
1231
00:22:45,500 --> 00:22:46,166
something like
1232
00:22:46,166 --> 00:22:47,333
food grade or
1233
00:22:47,333 --> 00:22:48,458
something. So I
1234
00:22:48,458 --> 00:22:49,500
can take this
1235
00:22:49,500 --> 00:22:50,166
thing and I say,
1236
00:22:50,166 --> 00:22:51,125
okay, I need to
1237
00:22:51,125 --> 00:22:52,000
remove this and I
1238
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:53,416
can do some
1239
00:22:53,416 --> 00:22:54,083
process in the
1240
00:22:54,083 --> 00:22:54,750
cell that I can
1241
00:22:54,750 --> 00:22:55,500
interrupt this
1242
00:22:55,500 --> 00:22:57,000
gene in order to
1243
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:58,250
create, you know,
1244
00:22:58,500 --> 00:22:59,041
like all the
1245
00:22:59,041 --> 00:22:59,875
modification that
1246
00:22:59,875 --> 00:23:00,458
we can think
1247
00:23:00,458 --> 00:23:01,791
about, like, for
1248
00:23:01,791 --> 00:23:02,458
example, imagine
1249
00:23:02,458 --> 00:23:04,125
that we can we
1250
00:23:04,125 --> 00:23:05,625
want to do a
1251
00:23:05,625 --> 00:23:06,000
faster, a strange way.
1252
00:23:06,041 --> 00:23:07,291
I can have a lot
1253
00:23:07,291 --> 00:23:08,125
to the genes that
1254
00:23:08,125 --> 00:23:09,000
are more relating
1255
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:10,750
to producing like
1256
00:23:10,750 --> 00:23:11,875
some compound
1257
00:23:11,875 --> 00:23:13,000
that can make the
1258
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:13,666
cell grow faster
1259
00:23:13,666 --> 00:23:14,666
and over express
1260
00:23:14,666 --> 00:23:15,458
this to produce
1261
00:23:15,458 --> 00:23:16,166
more copies.
1262
00:23:18,291 --> 00:23:18,625
It's really
1263
00:23:18,625 --> 00:23:19,250
exciting because
1264
00:23:19,250 --> 00:23:19,875
it's something
1265
00:23:19,875 --> 00:23:20,583
that changed the
1266
00:23:20,583 --> 00:23:22,166
world because we
1267
00:23:22,166 --> 00:23:22,708
are literally
1268
00:23:22,708 --> 00:23:24,041
using a compound
1269
00:23:24,041 --> 00:23:25,333
that it is CO2
1270
00:23:25,333 --> 00:23:26,208
that the planet
1271
00:23:26,208 --> 00:23:27,000
is like, you
1272
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:27,666
know, we know the
1273
00:23:27,666 --> 00:23:28,375
situation in the
1274
00:23:28,375 --> 00:23:28,833
planet with the
1275
00:23:28,833 --> 00:23:30,416
CO2 and
1276
00:23:30,416 --> 00:23:31,083
transforming this
1277
00:23:31,083 --> 00:23:31,791
CO2 in something
1278
00:23:31,791 --> 00:23:33,000
by by valuable
1279
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:33,541
life, for
1280
00:23:33,541 --> 00:23:34,208
example, like
1281
00:23:34,208 --> 00:23:35,583
biofuel, for
1282
00:23:35,583 --> 00:23:36,000
example, another thing that we can do is to make it more effective.
1283
00:23:36,041 --> 00:23:36,958
So the one
1284
00:23:36,958 --> 00:23:38,541
compound we are,
1285
00:23:39,125 --> 00:23:39,541
for example,
1286
00:23:40,041 --> 00:23:40,958
under most the
1287
00:23:40,958 --> 00:23:41,500
most interesting
1288
00:23:41,500 --> 00:23:42,583
thing for the
1289
00:23:42,583 --> 00:23:45,416
first time, we
1290
00:23:45,416 --> 00:23:46,250
are starting to
1291
00:23:46,250 --> 00:23:47,208
produce insulin
1292
00:23:47,208 --> 00:23:47,958
in cyanobacteria
1293
00:23:47,958 --> 00:23:49,375
that we just to
1294
00:23:49,375 --> 00:23:50,041
release that. So
1295
00:23:50,041 --> 00:23:51,000
thinking about
1296
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:51,708
the impact of
1297
00:23:51,708 --> 00:23:52,000
about this.
1298
00:23:52,041 --> 00:23:53,291
So so many people
1299
00:23:53,291 --> 00:23:54,500
having diabetes
1300
00:23:54,500 --> 00:23:56,208
and now the
1301
00:23:56,208 --> 00:23:56,750
platform to
1302
00:23:56,750 --> 00:23:57,500
produce this is
1303
00:23:57,500 --> 00:23:58,250
in equalize. So
1304
00:23:58,250 --> 00:23:59,333
imagine that now
1305
00:23:59,333 --> 00:24:00,000
you can produce
1306
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:00,875
exactly the same
1307
00:24:00,875 --> 00:24:02,500
with an organism
1308
00:24:02,500 --> 00:24:04,000
that in a green
1309
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,250
way that you see
1310
00:24:06,250 --> 00:24:06,791
you choose
1311
00:24:06,791 --> 00:24:07,833
sunlight, you
1312
00:24:07,833 --> 00:24:08,333
produce something
1313
00:24:08,333 --> 00:24:09,208
like a bio, a
1314
00:24:09,208 --> 00:24:09,958
biomedical
1315
00:24:09,958 --> 00:24:10,875
compound that is
1316
00:24:10,875 --> 00:24:11,666
helping the life
1317
00:24:11,666 --> 00:24:12,791
of so
1318
00:24:12,791 --> 00:24:13,000
many people.
1319
00:24:13,041 --> 00:24:13,833
And also at the
1320
00:24:13,833 --> 00:24:15,041
same time, you
1321
00:24:15,041 --> 00:24:15,500
are helping the
1322
00:24:15,500 --> 00:24:16,416
planet. So that's
1323
00:24:16,416 --> 00:24:17,541
to me like that.
1324
00:24:17,541 --> 00:24:17,958
I think when I
1325
00:24:17,958 --> 00:24:18,708
start to say I
1326
00:24:18,708 --> 00:24:19,500
start maybe the
1327
00:24:19,500 --> 00:24:20,500
interview in
1328
00:24:20,500 --> 00:24:22,291
2016. And when I
1329
00:24:22,291 --> 00:24:23,000
see this, like
1330
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:23,750
this organism
1331
00:24:23,750 --> 00:24:25,208
could change the
1332
00:24:25,208 --> 00:24:25,791
world is like
1333
00:24:25,791 --> 00:24:28,208
something that is
1334
00:24:28,208 --> 00:24:30,916
something like it
1335
00:24:30,916 --> 00:24:31,750
just resonate
1336
00:24:31,750 --> 00:24:33,375
with me and has
1337
00:24:33,375 --> 00:24:33,708
been more
1338
00:24:33,708 --> 00:24:34,000
than 10 years.
1339
00:24:34,041 --> 00:24:35,208
And here I am
1340
00:24:35,208 --> 00:24:36,500
because I always
1341
00:24:36,500 --> 00:24:37,000
have been, you
1342
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:37,333
know, like
1343
00:24:37,333 --> 00:24:38,083
helping the
1344
00:24:38,083 --> 00:24:39,375
planet and it's
1345
00:24:39,375 --> 00:24:39,666
something
1346
00:24:39,666 --> 00:24:40,916
fascinating. The
1347
00:24:40,916 --> 00:24:41,458
thing that we can
1348
00:24:41,458 --> 00:24:42,000
do with this
1349
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:42,875
organizing and
1350
00:24:42,875 --> 00:24:43,208
also the
1351
00:24:43,208 --> 00:24:43,791
importance of
1352
00:24:43,791 --> 00:24:44,708
understanding how
1353
00:24:44,708 --> 00:24:45,458
you go and the
1354
00:24:45,458 --> 00:24:46,333
impact in the in
1355
00:24:46,333 --> 00:24:47,041
the real world.
1356
00:24:47,416 --> 00:24:48,333
That's amazing. I
1357
00:24:48,333 --> 00:24:50,333
love it. Take me
1358
00:24:50,333 --> 00:24:51,750
back to your PhD.
1359
00:24:52,500 --> 00:24:53,500
You know, how did
1360
00:24:53,500 --> 00:24:56,416
you discover, you
1361
00:24:56,416 --> 00:24:58,000
know, in terms of
1362
00:24:58,000 --> 00:24:59,291
working with with
1363
00:24:59,291 --> 00:24:59,916
cyanobacteria?
1364
00:25:00,208 --> 00:25:00,458
Why
1365
00:25:00,458 --> 00:25:01,458
cyanobacteria?
1366
00:25:01,458 --> 00:25:01,875
Like, obviously,
1367
00:25:01,875 --> 00:25:02,500
you said that it
1368
00:25:02,500 --> 00:25:03,000
makes such a difference.
1369
00:25:03,041 --> 00:25:04,625
But how did you
1370
00:25:04,625 --> 00:25:05,750
come up with that
1371
00:25:05,750 --> 00:25:07,375
thesis of working
1372
00:25:07,375 --> 00:25:07,583
with
1373
00:25:07,583 --> 00:25:09,250
cyanobacteria in
1374
00:25:09,250 --> 00:25:09,625
synthetic
1375
00:25:09,625 --> 00:25:10,625
biology? Like,
1376
00:25:10,625 --> 00:25:11,041
where did it come
1377
00:25:11,041 --> 00:25:11,541
from? Because,
1378
00:25:11,541 --> 00:25:12,416
you know, it's
1379
00:25:12,416 --> 00:25:13,041
not talked about
1380
00:25:13,041 --> 00:25:13,666
a lot. I'm sure
1381
00:25:13,666 --> 00:25:14,375
it's talked a lot
1382
00:25:14,375 --> 00:25:15,666
in molecular
1383
00:25:15,666 --> 00:25:16,875
biology. But did
1384
00:25:16,875 --> 00:25:17,333
you see it in
1385
00:25:17,333 --> 00:25:18,125
your undergrad or
1386
00:25:18,125 --> 00:25:18,416
through your
1387
00:25:18,416 --> 00:25:19,625
masters? Or how
1388
00:25:19,625 --> 00:25:20,541
did you discover
1389
00:25:20,541 --> 00:25:21,666
that working with
1390
00:25:21,666 --> 00:25:22,333
cyanobacteria
1391
00:25:22,333 --> 00:25:23,875
would be so
1392
00:25:23,875 --> 00:25:24,000
important?
1393
00:25:25,416 --> 00:25:27,000
So I started
1394
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:27,583
working in the
1395
00:25:27,583 --> 00:25:28,875
lab during my
1396
00:25:28,875 --> 00:25:30,041
master. I was
1397
00:25:30,041 --> 00:25:30,500
studying
1398
00:25:30,500 --> 00:25:31,000
different
1399
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:31,791
organisms, like
1400
00:25:31,791 --> 00:25:32,375
organisms that
1401
00:25:32,375 --> 00:25:32,916
are associated
1402
00:25:32,916 --> 00:25:33,916
with plants, like
1403
00:25:33,916 --> 00:25:34,416
rhizobia
1404
00:25:34,416 --> 00:25:35,666
bacteria. There
1405
00:25:35,666 --> 00:25:36,458
are some bacteria
1406
00:25:36,458 --> 00:25:36,833
that can
1407
00:25:36,833 --> 00:25:38,416
associate same
1408
00:25:38,416 --> 00:25:38,625
biopsy
1409
00:25:38,625 --> 00:25:39,000
with plants.
1410
00:25:39,041 --> 00:25:41,083
And I started
1411
00:25:41,083 --> 00:25:42,541
doing synthetic
1412
00:25:42,541 --> 00:25:43,416
biology with this
1413
00:25:43,416 --> 00:25:44,166
organization over
1414
00:25:44,166 --> 00:25:44,916
expressions on
1415
00:25:44,916 --> 00:25:45,541
genes and the
1416
00:25:45,541 --> 00:25:47,500
things when I
1417
00:25:47,500 --> 00:25:48,208
finished this,
1418
00:25:48,750 --> 00:25:50,250
you know, all of
1419
00:25:50,250 --> 00:25:50,791
the people has
1420
00:25:50,791 --> 00:25:51,041
this
1421
00:25:51,041 --> 00:25:51,500
philosophical
1422
00:25:51,500 --> 00:25:52,583
question, like
1423
00:25:52,583 --> 00:25:53,291
what is the next
1424
00:25:53,291 --> 00:25:54,250
what what is the
1425
00:25:54,250 --> 00:25:54,583
thing that we
1426
00:25:54,583 --> 00:25:55,000
should do?
1427
00:25:55,625 --> 00:25:56,250
And I was having
1428
00:25:56,250 --> 00:25:58,000
a look at the
1429
00:25:58,000 --> 00:25:58,750
different PhD
1430
00:25:58,750 --> 00:25:59,625
topics and the
1431
00:25:59,625 --> 00:26:01,000
things. And there
1432
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,500
was a group in in
1433
00:26:03,500 --> 00:26:04,000
Cordoba in the
1434
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:04,625
south of Spain,
1435
00:26:05,208 --> 00:26:05,708
then there is
1436
00:26:05,708 --> 00:26:06,958
like one of the
1437
00:26:06,958 --> 00:26:08,083
few in the world
1438
00:26:08,083 --> 00:26:08,500
that they are
1439
00:26:08,500 --> 00:26:08,958
studying
1440
00:26:08,958 --> 00:26:10,000
cyanobacteria
1441
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:10,583
like different
1442
00:26:10,583 --> 00:26:11,000
type of cyanobacteria.
1443
00:26:11,041 --> 00:26:12,875
And there was a
1444
00:26:12,875 --> 00:26:13,416
project like
1445
00:26:13,416 --> 00:26:13,750
very, very
1446
00:26:13,750 --> 00:26:14,500
exciting because
1447
00:26:14,500 --> 00:26:16,166
they was the end
1448
00:26:16,166 --> 00:26:16,833
of that. It was
1449
00:26:16,833 --> 00:26:17,875
understanding the
1450
00:26:17,875 --> 00:26:18,708
metabolism, how
1451
00:26:18,708 --> 00:26:19,708
this organism one
1452
00:26:19,708 --> 00:26:22,125
how because one
1453
00:26:22,125 --> 00:26:22,583
interesting
1454
00:26:22,583 --> 00:26:23,916
things is like,
1455
00:26:23,916 --> 00:26:24,541
you know, like
1456
00:26:24,541 --> 00:26:26,208
this organism can
1457
00:26:26,208 --> 00:26:28,041
use like I
1458
00:26:28,041 --> 00:26:28,750
mentioned, like
1459
00:26:28,750 --> 00:26:31,291
CO2 in order to
1460
00:26:31,291 --> 00:26:34,000
grow, to survive.
1461
00:26:34,041 --> 00:26:35,250
But most
1462
00:26:35,250 --> 00:26:36,000
interesting thing
1463
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:36,958
is like they just
1464
00:26:36,958 --> 00:26:38,166
discovered that
1465
00:26:38,166 --> 00:26:38,666
this
1466
00:26:38,666 --> 00:26:40,875
cyanobacteria has
1467
00:26:40,875 --> 00:26:41,625
inside of the
1468
00:26:41,625 --> 00:26:42,958
cell some
1469
00:26:42,958 --> 00:26:44,208
transport like
1470
00:26:44,208 --> 00:26:45,458
from glucose and
1471
00:26:45,458 --> 00:26:49,333
difference carbon
1472
00:26:49,333 --> 00:26:49,833
transport.
1473
00:26:50,041 --> 00:26:51,541
And the thing
1474
00:26:51,541 --> 00:26:51,833
that they
1475
00:26:51,833 --> 00:26:52,625
discovered is
1476
00:26:52,625 --> 00:26:53,083
like really,
1477
00:26:53,083 --> 00:26:53,791
really amazing
1478
00:26:53,791 --> 00:26:55,333
because this
1479
00:26:55,333 --> 00:26:57,500
organism when
1480
00:26:57,500 --> 00:26:57,875
they are
1481
00:26:57,875 --> 00:26:58,500
available, when
1482
00:26:58,500 --> 00:26:59,250
they have life,
1483
00:26:59,250 --> 00:26:59,791
for example, in
1484
00:26:59,791 --> 00:27:00,875
the in the ocean
1485
00:27:00,875 --> 00:27:01,500
that they have
1486
00:27:01,500 --> 00:27:02,833
available carbon.
1487
00:27:03,083 --> 00:27:03,583
So like, for
1488
00:27:03,583 --> 00:27:04,250
example, glucose
1489
00:27:04,250 --> 00:27:04,916
that they are in
1490
00:27:04,916 --> 00:27:05,833
the animal range
1491
00:27:05,833 --> 00:27:06,500
in the ocean,
1492
00:27:07,125 --> 00:27:08,416
they can take it
1493
00:27:08,416 --> 00:27:09,166
from the, you
1494
00:27:09,166 --> 00:27:09,666
know, from the
1495
00:27:09,666 --> 00:27:10,291
from the
1496
00:27:10,291 --> 00:27:10,541
environment.
1497
00:27:11,250 --> 00:27:11,875
And it is like a
1498
00:27:11,875 --> 00:27:12,208
metabolic
1499
00:27:12,208 --> 00:27:13,208
advantage because
1500
00:27:13,208 --> 00:27:13,916
they are like
1501
00:27:13,916 --> 00:27:15,083
this organism and
1502
00:27:15,083 --> 00:27:16,375
they are working
1503
00:27:16,375 --> 00:27:17,708
in order to be
1504
00:27:17,708 --> 00:27:18,583
very, very
1505
00:27:18,583 --> 00:27:19,291
efficient. You
1506
00:27:19,291 --> 00:27:19,833
know, it's like
1507
00:27:19,833 --> 00:27:21,041
even like with
1508
00:27:21,041 --> 00:27:21,833
the with the
1509
00:27:21,833 --> 00:27:22,750
centuries, like
1510
00:27:22,750 --> 00:27:23,541
with the 1000 of
1511
00:27:23,541 --> 00:27:24,833
the year, they
1512
00:27:24,833 --> 00:27:25,541
are always
1513
00:27:25,541 --> 00:27:26,416
compacting the,
1514
00:27:26,416 --> 00:27:26,833
you know, like
1515
00:27:26,833 --> 00:27:27,416
they are very,
1516
00:27:27,416 --> 00:27:27,625
very
1517
00:27:27,625 --> 00:27:28,000
small genome.
1518
00:27:28,041 --> 00:27:29,500
And every time is
1519
00:27:29,500 --> 00:27:30,250
like, okay, how
1520
00:27:30,250 --> 00:27:30,875
can I be more
1521
00:27:30,875 --> 00:27:32,208
efficiently and
1522
00:27:32,208 --> 00:27:33,958
understanding all
1523
00:27:33,958 --> 00:27:34,625
of that thing,
1524
00:27:34,625 --> 00:27:35,500
you know, but my
1525
00:27:35,500 --> 00:27:36,000
main thing is
1526
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:37,791
like, this
1527
00:27:37,791 --> 00:27:38,583
organism, like
1528
00:27:38,583 --> 00:27:39,333
when I see like
1529
00:27:39,333 --> 00:27:40,125
because in the in
1530
00:27:40,125 --> 00:27:40,750
their website,
1531
00:27:40,750 --> 00:27:41,208
they have, you
1532
00:27:41,208 --> 00:27:42,666
know, like, that
1533
00:27:42,666 --> 00:27:43,916
they organize and
1534
00:27:43,916 --> 00:27:44,333
like produce
1535
00:27:44,333 --> 00:27:45,583
oxygen that they
1536
00:27:45,583 --> 00:27:46,625
they was like a
1537
00:27:46,625 --> 00:27:48,875
lot of thing that
1538
00:27:48,875 --> 00:27:49,416
they can do in
1539
00:27:49,416 --> 00:27:50,041
order to save the
1540
00:27:50,041 --> 00:27:51,166
planet, say,
1541
00:27:51,166 --> 00:27:51,791
okay, I think
1542
00:27:51,791 --> 00:27:52,666
this is my field,
1543
00:27:53,041 --> 00:27:53,875
because it's like
1544
00:27:53,875 --> 00:27:54,541
a way that I can
1545
00:27:54,541 --> 00:27:55,208
use in order to
1546
00:27:55,208 --> 00:27:55,708
have my planet
1547
00:27:55,708 --> 00:27:56,750
and this blow my
1548
00:27:56,750 --> 00:27:57,000
mind, you know, and we can do that.
1549
00:27:57,041 --> 00:27:58,000
You know, and
1550
00:27:58,000 --> 00:27:58,458
with the passing
1551
00:27:58,458 --> 00:27:59,750
of the time, I
1552
00:27:59,750 --> 00:28:00,333
studied, you
1553
00:28:00,333 --> 00:28:01,333
know, different
1554
00:28:01,333 --> 00:28:02,791
strain because we
1555
00:28:02,791 --> 00:28:03,916
have a strain
1556
00:28:03,916 --> 00:28:04,916
that grows slow,
1557
00:28:05,166 --> 00:28:06,541
grow fast, one of
1558
00:28:06,541 --> 00:28:07,583
them are using
1559
00:28:07,583 --> 00:28:08,000
from
1560
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:08,500
biotechnology
1561
00:28:08,500 --> 00:28:09,625
perspective that
1562
00:28:09,625 --> 00:28:10,375
are like the now
1563
00:28:10,375 --> 00:28:11,041
that we are going
1564
00:28:11,041 --> 00:28:12,000
in that there are
1565
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:12,333
fast
1566
00:28:12,333 --> 00:28:13,000
growing strain.
1567
00:28:13,041 --> 00:28:15,625
And to me, when I
1568
00:28:15,625 --> 00:28:17,291
find this is
1569
00:28:17,291 --> 00:28:18,500
something that
1570
00:28:18,500 --> 00:28:19,791
say this is like,
1571
00:28:19,791 --> 00:28:20,666
you know, one of
1572
00:28:20,666 --> 00:28:21,125
the main reasons
1573
00:28:21,125 --> 00:28:21,666
that I am hearing
1574
00:28:21,666 --> 00:28:23,208
this word is from
1575
00:28:23,208 --> 00:28:25,416
this. And with
1576
00:28:25,416 --> 00:28:25,875
the passing of
1577
00:28:25,875 --> 00:28:26,625
dying, Andrew,
1578
00:28:27,250 --> 00:28:28,208
and I was like,
1579
00:28:28,916 --> 00:28:30,083
especially with
1580
00:28:30,083 --> 00:28:30,625
this organism,
1581
00:28:30,625 --> 00:28:31,291
because for
1582
00:28:31,291 --> 00:28:31,958
example, when I
1583
00:28:31,958 --> 00:28:32,750
finished my PhD,
1584
00:28:34,125 --> 00:28:35,000
you need to you
1585
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:35,541
want to continue
1586
00:28:35,541 --> 00:28:36,250
in sign, you need
1587
00:28:36,250 --> 00:28:37,583
a you need to do
1588
00:28:37,583 --> 00:28:38,625
something called
1589
00:28:38,625 --> 00:28:39,000
postdoctoral research.
1590
00:28:39,041 --> 00:28:43,625
So I moved to the
1591
00:28:43,625 --> 00:28:44,375
University of
1592
00:28:44,375 --> 00:28:45,791
Anglia Norwich,
1593
00:28:46,333 --> 00:28:48,958
UK also, in order
1594
00:28:48,958 --> 00:28:50,875
because it was
1595
00:28:50,875 --> 00:28:51,791
published a paper
1596
00:28:51,791 --> 00:28:53,333
that they was in,
1597
00:28:53,625 --> 00:28:54,166
they were trying
1598
00:28:54,166 --> 00:28:55,625
to, to create
1599
00:28:55,625 --> 00:28:56,875
like a toolbox in
1600
00:28:56,875 --> 00:28:57,708
order to modify
1601
00:28:57,708 --> 00:28:58,541
the fast growing
1602
00:28:58,541 --> 00:29:00,083
strain in order
1603
00:29:00,083 --> 00:29:00,791
that they want
1604
00:29:00,791 --> 00:29:01,500
that we can use
1605
00:29:01,500 --> 00:29:01,666
for
1606
00:29:01,666 --> 00:29:02,000
biotechnology.
1607
00:29:02,041 --> 00:29:05,166
And I studied, I
1608
00:29:05,166 --> 00:29:06,125
spent two years
1609
00:29:06,125 --> 00:29:07,125
developing these
1610
00:29:07,125 --> 00:29:08,583
tools in order to
1611
00:29:08,583 --> 00:29:09,791
modify the
1612
00:29:09,791 --> 00:29:11,083
strains in order
1613
00:29:11,083 --> 00:29:11,541
to produce
1614
00:29:11,541 --> 00:29:12,250
compound and the
1615
00:29:12,250 --> 00:29:14,416
thing that's the
1616
00:29:14,416 --> 00:29:15,333
most exciting to
1617
00:29:15,333 --> 00:29:16,041
me because it's
1618
00:29:16,041 --> 00:29:16,791
like has been,
1619
00:29:16,791 --> 00:29:17,625
you know, has
1620
00:29:17,625 --> 00:29:18,750
been like always
1621
00:29:18,750 --> 00:29:19,333
helping with
1622
00:29:19,333 --> 00:29:20,083
synovatry, but
1623
00:29:20,083 --> 00:29:20,750
it's like has
1624
00:29:20,750 --> 00:29:21,416
been aligning
1625
00:29:21,416 --> 00:29:22,875
more, you know,
1626
00:29:22,875 --> 00:29:24,041
in order to what
1627
00:29:24,041 --> 00:29:25,708
it can I do to
1628
00:29:25,708 --> 00:29:26,750
help this in a in
1629
00:29:26,750 --> 00:29:27,333
a better way.
1630
00:29:28,041 --> 00:29:29,083
Like the, the
1631
00:29:29,083 --> 00:29:29,875
topic of my
1632
00:29:29,875 --> 00:29:30,458
research, like in
1633
00:29:30,458 --> 00:29:31,125
order to modify
1634
00:29:31,125 --> 00:29:33,166
this strain to
1635
00:29:33,166 --> 00:29:34,083
produce something
1636
00:29:34,083 --> 00:29:35,041
that we can help
1637
00:29:35,041 --> 00:29:35,666
the planet and
1638
00:29:35,666 --> 00:29:36,166
the same time
1639
00:29:36,166 --> 00:29:37,250
that we are
1640
00:29:37,250 --> 00:29:37,541
producing
1641
00:29:37,541 --> 00:29:38,833
different wide
1642
00:29:38,833 --> 00:29:39,375
range of
1643
00:29:39,375 --> 00:29:39,750
compound.
1644
00:29:40,208 --> 00:29:41,666
Yeah, no, that's,
1645
00:29:41,666 --> 00:29:42,458
it's super
1646
00:29:42,458 --> 00:29:43,000
exciting.
1647
00:29:43,041 --> 00:29:45,500
When we talk
1648
00:29:45,500 --> 00:29:47,291
about sound of
1649
00:29:47,291 --> 00:29:48,041
bacteria and
1650
00:29:48,041 --> 00:29:51,541
their, their role
1651
00:29:51,541 --> 00:29:52,250
in climate
1652
00:29:52,250 --> 00:29:54,250
change, right,
1653
00:29:54,875 --> 00:29:55,166
you know,
1654
00:29:55,166 --> 00:29:55,708
bringing it back
1655
00:29:55,708 --> 00:29:56,500
to the people,
1656
00:29:57,416 --> 00:29:57,666
you know,
1657
00:29:57,666 --> 00:29:58,083
obviously there's
1658
00:29:58,083 --> 00:29:58,875
a lot of medical,
1659
00:29:59,333 --> 00:29:59,916
there's a lot of
1660
00:29:59,916 --> 00:30:03,291
medical, I guess,
1661
00:30:03,583 --> 00:30:04,375
practicalities
1662
00:30:04,375 --> 00:30:05,625
that you can that
1663
00:30:05,625 --> 00:30:06,000
you can use for people.
1664
00:30:06,041 --> 00:30:07,500
So that's, that's
1665
00:30:07,500 --> 00:30:08,000
really great.
1666
00:30:08,791 --> 00:30:09,291
From a climate
1667
00:30:09,291 --> 00:30:09,666
change
1668
00:30:09,666 --> 00:30:10,916
perspective, you
1669
00:30:10,916 --> 00:30:11,166
know, they
1670
00:30:11,166 --> 00:30:11,833
obviously play a
1671
00:30:11,833 --> 00:30:12,541
very important
1672
00:30:12,541 --> 00:30:14,208
role. Are there
1673
00:30:14,208 --> 00:30:15,458
any, is there any
1674
00:30:15,458 --> 00:30:16,666
research out
1675
00:30:16,666 --> 00:30:17,791
there trying to
1676
00:30:17,791 --> 00:30:18,708
get cyanobacteria
1677
00:30:18,708 --> 00:30:20,333
more involved in
1678
00:30:20,333 --> 00:30:23,500
sort of, you
1679
00:30:23,500 --> 00:30:24,208
know, absorbing
1680
00:30:24,208 --> 00:30:25,000
more CO2 from the atmosphere?
1681
00:30:25,041 --> 00:30:28,250
Is it possible to
1682
00:30:28,250 --> 00:30:29,083
do that? I know
1683
00:30:29,083 --> 00:30:29,583
there's like
1684
00:30:29,583 --> 00:30:29,958
fertilization
1685
00:30:29,958 --> 00:30:31,500
research out
1686
00:30:31,500 --> 00:30:32,000
there to try and
1687
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:32,666
fertilize that
1688
00:30:32,666 --> 00:30:34,458
the, the, the
1689
00:30:34,458 --> 00:30:35,375
ocean with iron,
1690
00:30:35,375 --> 00:30:35,791
which, you know,
1691
00:30:35,791 --> 00:30:36,458
people aren't
1692
00:30:36,458 --> 00:30:37,833
loving with
1693
00:30:37,833 --> 00:30:38,458
cyanobacteria. Is
1694
00:30:38,458 --> 00:30:38,625
there any
1695
00:30:38,625 --> 00:30:39,750
research with
1696
00:30:39,750 --> 00:30:41,083
climate change to
1697
00:30:41,083 --> 00:30:42,208
help reduce
1698
00:30:42,208 --> 00:30:43,000
climate change or
1699
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:44,916
help basically
1700
00:30:44,916 --> 00:30:46,208
absorb a lot of
1701
00:30:46,208 --> 00:30:47,291
the CO2 through,
1702
00:30:47,291 --> 00:30:47,625
through the
1703
00:30:47,625 --> 00:30:48,000
atmosphere?
1704
00:30:48,791 --> 00:30:49,541
So I am going to
1705
00:30:49,541 --> 00:30:49,791
tell you
1706
00:30:49,791 --> 00:30:50,500
something really
1707
00:30:50,500 --> 00:30:52,583
exciting. After I
1708
00:30:52,583 --> 00:30:53,333
finished this
1709
00:30:53,333 --> 00:30:53,833
postdoctoral
1710
00:30:53,833 --> 00:30:54,708
research, I was
1711
00:30:54,708 --> 00:30:56,000
also before to
1712
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:56,416
take in the
1713
00:30:56,416 --> 00:30:57,000
decision to take
1714
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:57,625
the lead to move
1715
00:30:57,625 --> 00:30:59,250
to industry. I
1716
00:30:59,250 --> 00:31:00,583
contact with one,
1717
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:02,208
with one
1718
00:31:02,208 --> 00:31:03,333
researcher in the
1719
00:31:03,333 --> 00:31:04,000
University of
1720
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:04,958
Illinois in
1721
00:31:04,958 --> 00:31:05,375
California.
1722
00:31:07,041 --> 00:31:09,333
They, they think
1723
00:31:09,333 --> 00:31:10,750
that it was
1724
00:31:10,750 --> 00:31:10,958
really
1725
00:31:10,958 --> 00:31:11,500
interesting to
1726
00:31:11,500 --> 00:31:11,958
me. They were
1727
00:31:11,958 --> 00:31:12,333
collaborating
1728
00:31:12,333 --> 00:31:15,333
with the NASA in
1729
00:31:15,333 --> 00:31:17,791
order to, to
1730
00:31:17,791 --> 00:31:19,250
create like, they
1731
00:31:19,250 --> 00:31:20,166
think it was,
1732
00:31:20,583 --> 00:31:21,041
they think that
1733
00:31:21,041 --> 00:31:21,458
they were doing
1734
00:31:21,458 --> 00:31:22,333
like, was really,
1735
00:31:22,333 --> 00:31:22,500
really
1736
00:31:22,500 --> 00:31:22,916
interesting
1737
00:31:22,916 --> 00:31:23,708
because they was
1738
00:31:23,708 --> 00:31:25,041
doing ocean
1739
00:31:25,041 --> 00:31:26,625
glories around
1740
00:31:26,625 --> 00:31:28,208
the world in
1741
00:31:28,208 --> 00:31:28,791
order to
1742
00:31:28,791 --> 00:31:29,500
measuring the
1743
00:31:29,500 --> 00:31:30,125
population of
1744
00:31:30,125 --> 00:31:30,833
cyanobacteria,
1745
00:31:31,125 --> 00:31:31,833
most of the, you
1746
00:31:31,833 --> 00:31:32,000
know,
1747
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:32,625
phytoplactone,
1748
00:31:32,625 --> 00:31:33,000
you know,
1749
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:33,333
different
1750
00:31:33,333 --> 00:31:34,666
organisms that
1751
00:31:34,666 --> 00:31:35,416
are part of that.
1752
00:31:36,041 --> 00:31:36,500
And in order,
1753
00:31:36,500 --> 00:31:37,791
like, if they can
1754
00:31:37,791 --> 00:31:38,875
quantify like in
1755
00:31:38,875 --> 00:31:39,875
every part of the
1756
00:31:39,875 --> 00:31:41,125
ocean, what are
1757
00:31:41,125 --> 00:31:42,250
the, the, for
1758
00:31:42,250 --> 00:31:43,125
example, how many
1759
00:31:43,125 --> 00:31:43,708
like percentage
1760
00:31:43,708 --> 00:31:44,666
of the organism,
1761
00:31:45,125 --> 00:31:46,041
they could create
1762
00:31:46,041 --> 00:31:47,833
like a plants in
1763
00:31:47,833 --> 00:31:49,708
order to create a
1764
00:31:49,708 --> 00:31:50,375
plants for
1765
00:31:50,375 --> 00:31:51,083
climate change.
1766
00:31:52,083 --> 00:31:53,291
But it's
1767
00:31:53,291 --> 00:31:53,791
something that it
1768
00:31:53,791 --> 00:31:54,375
is like a
1769
00:31:54,375 --> 00:31:54,875
currently in
1770
00:31:54,875 --> 00:31:55,166
studying.
1771
00:31:57,041 --> 00:31:57,541
For example, in
1772
00:31:57,541 --> 00:31:58,708
the ocean, there
1773
00:31:58,708 --> 00:31:59,208
are like, you
1774
00:31:59,208 --> 00:32:00,166
know, if I
1775
00:32:00,166 --> 00:32:00,666
mentioned that
1776
00:32:00,666 --> 00:32:01,416
are like so many
1777
00:32:01,416 --> 00:32:02,416
phytoplactone is
1778
00:32:02,416 --> 00:32:03,125
about like just
1779
00:32:03,125 --> 00:32:03,833
not by
1780
00:32:03,833 --> 00:32:04,458
cyanobacteria,
1781
00:32:04,458 --> 00:32:05,000
cyanobacteria is
1782
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:05,916
most important.
1783
00:32:05,916 --> 00:32:06,208
There are part
1784
00:32:06,208 --> 00:32:06,791
of, for example,
1785
00:32:07,458 --> 00:32:08,500
diatomins and so
1786
00:32:08,500 --> 00:32:09,166
many organisms.
1787
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:10,916
But most of the,
1788
00:32:10,916 --> 00:32:11,833
the organisms
1789
00:32:11,833 --> 00:32:12,583
that produce most
1790
00:32:12,583 --> 00:32:13,500
of the oxygen of
1791
00:32:13,500 --> 00:32:14,625
the world is
1792
00:32:14,625 --> 00:32:14,833
called
1793
00:32:14,833 --> 00:32:15,708
plocorococcus.
1794
00:32:15,708 --> 00:32:16,291
It's like a very,
1795
00:32:16,291 --> 00:32:17,166
very tiny cell.
1796
00:32:19,041 --> 00:32:20,500
And yeah, we need
1797
00:32:20,500 --> 00:32:22,375
to the main thing
1798
00:32:22,375 --> 00:32:23,416
that this, this
1799
00:32:23,416 --> 00:32:24,458
is this specific
1800
00:32:24,458 --> 00:32:25,291
strain is like
1801
00:32:25,291 --> 00:32:26,000
very, very
1802
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:27,666
sensitive because
1803
00:32:27,666 --> 00:32:29,000
small chain in
1804
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:29,500
the temperature
1805
00:32:29,500 --> 00:32:31,625
could affect to
1806
00:32:31,625 --> 00:32:33,125
the to the
1807
00:32:33,125 --> 00:32:33,583
population.
1808
00:32:34,166 --> 00:32:35,416
So now it's start
1809
00:32:35,416 --> 00:32:36,833
to to the claim
1810
00:32:36,833 --> 00:32:37,666
in to decrease
1811
00:32:37,666 --> 00:32:38,500
the population of
1812
00:32:38,500 --> 00:32:39,291
a bit of this.
1813
00:32:39,791 --> 00:32:40,583
But in order to
1814
00:32:40,583 --> 00:32:41,500
do something, you
1815
00:32:41,500 --> 00:32:42,375
know, at a global
1816
00:32:42,375 --> 00:32:43,916
scale is
1817
00:32:43,916 --> 00:32:45,291
something that is
1818
00:32:45,291 --> 00:32:45,791
not anything.
1819
00:32:46,041 --> 00:32:46,875
And also, I don't
1820
00:32:46,875 --> 00:32:47,375
know if you heard
1821
00:32:47,375 --> 00:32:48,291
about that. But
1822
00:32:48,291 --> 00:32:49,208
there was some
1823
00:32:49,208 --> 00:32:50,291
there was a
1824
00:32:50,291 --> 00:32:51,916
paper. It was
1825
00:32:51,916 --> 00:32:52,958
from probably
1826
00:32:52,958 --> 00:32:53,875
five or seven
1827
00:32:53,875 --> 00:32:55,291
years ago, that
1828
00:32:55,291 --> 00:32:57,208
they, okay, there
1829
00:32:57,208 --> 00:32:57,625
are some
1830
00:32:57,625 --> 00:32:58,250
researchers that
1831
00:32:58,250 --> 00:33:00,125
they want to, to,
1832
00:33:00,125 --> 00:33:00,458
you know, like
1833
00:33:00,458 --> 00:33:01,500
say, we, for
1834
00:33:01,500 --> 00:33:02,083
example, having
1835
00:33:02,083 --> 00:33:03,083
more iron to the
1836
00:33:03,083 --> 00:33:04,166
ocean, you know,
1837
00:33:04,166 --> 00:33:05,041
we will be in
1838
00:33:05,041 --> 00:33:05,875
also in
1839
00:33:05,875 --> 00:33:06,791
enhancing, you
1840
00:33:06,791 --> 00:33:07,291
know, like the
1841
00:33:07,291 --> 00:33:08,083
increasing of
1842
00:33:08,083 --> 00:33:08,333
this
1843
00:33:08,333 --> 00:33:09,000
microorganism.
1844
00:33:09,041 --> 00:33:10,916
But there is
1845
00:33:10,916 --> 00:33:11,583
another response
1846
00:33:11,583 --> 00:33:12,250
to that, that
1847
00:33:12,250 --> 00:33:12,875
there is there is
1848
00:33:12,875 --> 00:33:13,541
something very, very
1849
00:33:13,541 --> 00:33:14,041
controversial
1850
00:33:14,041 --> 00:33:15,208
because when you
1851
00:33:15,208 --> 00:33:16,000
do that, you
1852
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:16,708
change the
1853
00:33:16,708 --> 00:33:18,500
completely state
1854
00:33:18,500 --> 00:33:20,333
of all of the all
1855
00:33:20,333 --> 00:33:20,958
of the ecosystem
1856
00:33:20,958 --> 00:33:21,625
that they are
1857
00:33:21,625 --> 00:33:22,250
living together.
1858
00:33:22,750 --> 00:33:23,041
And it is
1859
00:33:23,041 --> 00:33:24,625
something that I
1860
00:33:24,625 --> 00:33:25,083
think that the
1861
00:33:25,083 --> 00:33:25,583
main thing that
1862
00:33:25,583 --> 00:33:26,166
we need to do is
1863
00:33:26,166 --> 00:33:26,791
taking care of
1864
00:33:26,791 --> 00:33:28,500
the thing that we
1865
00:33:28,500 --> 00:33:31,208
have. And yeah,
1866
00:33:31,208 --> 00:33:32,166
because it's just
1867
00:33:32,166 --> 00:33:33,291
a small chain
1868
00:33:33,291 --> 00:33:35,583
could make a like
1869
00:33:35,583 --> 00:33:36,500
a drafty list if
1870
00:33:36,500 --> 00:33:37,041
in all of the
1871
00:33:37,041 --> 00:33:37,500
population.
1872
00:33:38,458 --> 00:33:39,208
For people who
1873
00:33:39,208 --> 00:33:39,708
are listening in
1874
00:33:39,708 --> 00:33:41,208
the audience, who
1875
00:33:41,208 --> 00:33:41,958
are like, look,
1876
00:33:41,958 --> 00:33:42,625
these microbes,
1877
00:33:42,875 --> 00:33:43,291
obviously, they
1878
00:33:43,291 --> 00:33:43,625
have some
1879
00:33:43,625 --> 00:33:44,375
importance to
1880
00:33:44,375 --> 00:33:46,375
them. You know,
1881
00:33:47,458 --> 00:33:47,958
but but they're
1882
00:33:47,958 --> 00:33:48,291
just like, we
1883
00:33:48,291 --> 00:33:48,958
don't see these
1884
00:33:48,958 --> 00:33:49,541
things all the
1885
00:33:49,541 --> 00:33:50,083
time. And every
1886
00:33:50,083 --> 00:33:50,750
time, you know,
1887
00:33:50,750 --> 00:33:51,500
they focus on
1888
00:33:51,500 --> 00:33:53,166
algae, you know,
1889
00:33:53,166 --> 00:33:54,125
they think of bad
1890
00:33:54,125 --> 00:33:55,375
things associated
1891
00:33:55,375 --> 00:33:56,250
with algae.
1892
00:33:57,250 --> 00:33:58,166
How can we get
1893
00:33:58,166 --> 00:33:59,791
people to think
1894
00:33:59,791 --> 00:34:01,625
more positively
1895
00:34:01,625 --> 00:34:03,291
about things like
1896
00:34:03,291 --> 00:34:04,416
cyanobacteria or
1897
00:34:04,416 --> 00:34:05,791
algae in general?
1898
00:34:07,250 --> 00:34:08,000
Yes, I see this
1899
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:08,875
point. And also,
1900
00:34:08,875 --> 00:34:10,333
actually, I
1901
00:34:10,333 --> 00:34:10,958
remember in my
1902
00:34:10,958 --> 00:34:11,666
last year when I
1903
00:34:11,666 --> 00:34:12,625
was studying in
1904
00:34:12,625 --> 00:34:13,583
Cordoba, people
1905
00:34:13,583 --> 00:34:14,666
say, oh, you
1906
00:34:14,666 --> 00:34:16,500
know, I am very,
1907
00:34:16,750 --> 00:34:17,458
I'm feeling, you
1908
00:34:17,458 --> 00:34:18,416
know, very bad
1909
00:34:18,416 --> 00:34:19,541
because I have a
1910
00:34:19,541 --> 00:34:20,583
lake in my town.
1911
00:34:21,375 --> 00:34:21,791
And you know,
1912
00:34:21,791 --> 00:34:22,541
this town, they
1913
00:34:22,541 --> 00:34:24,416
have like a song,
1914
00:34:24,625 --> 00:34:25,125
cyanobacteria
1915
00:34:25,125 --> 00:34:25,875
that they are
1916
00:34:25,875 --> 00:34:27,625
toxic. And we
1917
00:34:27,625 --> 00:34:28,416
cannot, you know,
1918
00:34:28,416 --> 00:34:29,291
like go to get
1919
00:34:29,291 --> 00:34:29,916
like a swimming
1920
00:34:29,916 --> 00:34:31,791
in the in, you
1921
00:34:31,791 --> 00:34:33,166
know, during
1922
00:34:33,166 --> 00:34:33,666
the salmon.
1923
00:34:34,250 --> 00:34:34,875
But it is like
1924
00:34:34,875 --> 00:34:35,625
happening, like
1925
00:34:35,625 --> 00:34:36,583
not in a very
1926
00:34:36,583 --> 00:34:37,375
globally way
1927
00:34:37,375 --> 00:34:38,166
there is a of
1928
00:34:38,166 --> 00:34:38,666
course there are
1929
00:34:38,666 --> 00:34:39,333
some
1930
00:34:39,333 --> 00:34:40,500
cyanobacteria
1931
00:34:40,500 --> 00:34:41,625
that has and also
1932
00:34:41,625 --> 00:34:42,375
some microalgae
1933
00:34:42,375 --> 00:34:43,750
that has inside
1934
00:34:43,750 --> 00:34:44,500
of the genome
1935
00:34:44,500 --> 00:34:46,166
some I won't I
1936
00:34:46,166 --> 00:34:46,958
won't be like
1937
00:34:46,958 --> 00:34:47,458
here like very,
1938
00:34:47,458 --> 00:34:48,625
very centrifugal
1939
00:34:48,625 --> 00:34:49,958
way but has some
1940
00:34:49,958 --> 00:34:50,875
genes inside that
1941
00:34:50,875 --> 00:34:52,000
they will be able
1942
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:53,666
to produce some
1943
00:34:53,666 --> 00:34:55,000
toxin normally in
1944
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:56,958
a very low, low
1945
00:34:56,958 --> 00:34:57,416
concentration.
1946
00:34:58,625 --> 00:35:00,750
But we say that
1947
00:35:00,750 --> 00:35:01,708
we don't see this
1948
00:35:01,708 --> 00:35:02,416
this organism.
1949
00:35:02,416 --> 00:35:02,916
But for example,
1950
00:35:03,583 --> 00:35:04,083
I'm going to tell
1951
00:35:04,083 --> 00:35:04,708
you two years
1952
00:35:04,708 --> 00:35:07,708
ago, I was in
1953
00:35:07,708 --> 00:35:08,833
Thailand, and it
1954
00:35:08,833 --> 00:35:09,958
was a night and I
1955
00:35:09,958 --> 00:35:10,625
was in a boat.
1956
00:35:11,625 --> 00:35:12,750
And I see this
1957
00:35:12,750 --> 00:35:13,750
organism glow,
1958
00:35:14,250 --> 00:35:14,958
because there are
1959
00:35:14,958 --> 00:35:16,583
some of them that
1960
00:35:16,583 --> 00:35:17,750
has inside or
1961
00:35:17,750 --> 00:35:19,000
then some genes
1962
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:20,000
that they can
1963
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:21,500
that they will be
1964
00:35:21,500 --> 00:35:22,125
able to produce
1965
00:35:22,125 --> 00:35:23,000
by Lumi sense.
1966
00:35:23,708 --> 00:35:24,125
And it is
1967
00:35:24,125 --> 00:35:24,916
something really,
1968
00:35:24,916 --> 00:35:25,708
really exciting
1969
00:35:25,708 --> 00:35:26,416
and recommend all
1970
00:35:26,416 --> 00:35:26,916
the people that
1971
00:35:26,916 --> 00:35:27,875
have the
1972
00:35:27,875 --> 00:35:28,166
opportunity
1973
00:35:28,166 --> 00:35:28,750
to see.
1974
00:35:29,041 --> 00:35:30,083
But the message
1975
00:35:30,083 --> 00:35:31,250
to this, like it
1976
00:35:31,250 --> 00:35:32,166
is not like a
1977
00:35:32,166 --> 00:35:34,208
organism that it
1978
00:35:34,208 --> 00:35:34,958
is like a person
1979
00:35:34,958 --> 00:35:36,000
an illness or it
1980
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:37,541
is not most of
1981
00:35:37,541 --> 00:35:38,666
the strain of
1982
00:35:38,666 --> 00:35:39,500
when I say in a
1983
00:35:39,500 --> 00:35:40,583
strain, like I am
1984
00:35:40,583 --> 00:35:42,625
telling like, we
1985
00:35:42,625 --> 00:35:43,291
have like a
1986
00:35:43,291 --> 00:35:44,333
different type of
1987
00:35:44,333 --> 00:35:45,250
organism that you
1988
00:35:45,250 --> 00:35:46,125
know, like me in
1989
00:35:46,125 --> 00:35:48,000
this is like, one
1990
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:48,583
time we have
1991
00:35:48,583 --> 00:35:49,458
another time, you
1992
00:35:49,458 --> 00:35:49,750
know, like
1993
00:35:49,750 --> 00:35:50,083
different
1994
00:35:50,083 --> 00:35:50,500
general.
1995
00:35:51,041 --> 00:35:54,500
But it's not
1996
00:35:54,500 --> 00:35:55,083
something like
1997
00:35:55,083 --> 00:35:56,041
that for the in
1998
00:35:56,041 --> 00:35:56,791
the overall, but
1999
00:35:56,791 --> 00:35:57,541
for the headlight
2000
00:35:57,541 --> 00:35:59,083
in some cases, in
2001
00:35:59,083 --> 00:35:59,875
a very specific
2002
00:35:59,875 --> 00:36:00,375
circumstances,
2003
00:36:00,375 --> 00:36:01,541
there are there
2004
00:36:01,541 --> 00:36:03,208
could be like a
2005
00:36:03,208 --> 00:36:04,500
circus like there
2006
00:36:04,500 --> 00:36:05,791
is a bloom of
2007
00:36:05,791 --> 00:36:07,000
this organism,
2008
00:36:07,291 --> 00:36:07,791
but it is not
2009
00:36:07,791 --> 00:36:08,458
something that
2010
00:36:08,458 --> 00:36:09,458
happily like
2011
00:36:09,458 --> 00:36:09,791
very, very
2012
00:36:09,791 --> 00:36:10,750
frequently on a
2013
00:36:10,750 --> 00:36:12,041
global scale that
2014
00:36:12,041 --> 00:36:12,666
you for example,
2015
00:36:12,666 --> 00:36:13,166
and in the ocean
2016
00:36:13,166 --> 00:36:13,958
and say, Oh, no,
2017
00:36:13,958 --> 00:36:14,333
you know, I need
2018
00:36:14,333 --> 00:36:14,750
to be care
2019
00:36:14,750 --> 00:36:15,000
about this.
2020
00:36:16,041 --> 00:36:16,791
Organizing that
2021
00:36:16,791 --> 00:36:17,750
I'm going to be,
2022
00:36:18,250 --> 00:36:18,958
it's like a
2023
00:36:18,958 --> 00:36:19,708
represent like a
2024
00:36:19,708 --> 00:36:20,416
threat for that.
2025
00:36:20,625 --> 00:36:21,416
But absolutely,
2026
00:36:21,416 --> 00:36:22,125
you know, we need
2027
00:36:22,125 --> 00:36:23,666
to recommend all
2028
00:36:23,666 --> 00:36:24,375
other people to
2029
00:36:24,375 --> 00:36:25,166
read more about
2030
00:36:25,166 --> 00:36:26,541
this and think
2031
00:36:26,541 --> 00:36:27,125
about this.
2032
00:36:27,791 --> 00:36:28,458
Because most of
2033
00:36:28,458 --> 00:36:29,000
the people under
2034
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:29,958
you think, Oh, we
2035
00:36:29,958 --> 00:36:32,250
need to save the
2036
00:36:32,250 --> 00:36:33,166
forest, you know,
2037
00:36:33,541 --> 00:36:34,500
but let's think
2038
00:36:34,500 --> 00:36:35,666
about the ocean
2039
00:36:35,666 --> 00:36:36,875
because it's like
2040
00:36:36,875 --> 00:36:38,541
the other land of
2041
00:36:38,541 --> 00:36:39,708
the planet and be
2042
00:36:39,708 --> 00:36:39,875
concerned
2043
00:36:39,875 --> 00:36:40,000
about this.
2044
00:36:41,041 --> 00:36:42,750
What is what is
2045
00:36:42,750 --> 00:36:43,250
the thing that we
2046
00:36:43,250 --> 00:36:43,791
can do in order
2047
00:36:43,791 --> 00:36:45,875
to to help the
2048
00:36:45,875 --> 00:36:47,500
ocean? Yeah, I
2049
00:36:47,500 --> 00:36:48,208
think it's I
2050
00:36:48,208 --> 00:36:48,791
think it's
2051
00:36:48,791 --> 00:36:49,166
interesting
2052
00:36:49,166 --> 00:36:49,875
because you know,
2053
00:36:49,875 --> 00:36:51,666
we see we see a
2054
00:36:51,666 --> 00:36:52,291
lot of people,
2055
00:36:52,583 --> 00:36:53,125
you know, I see
2056
00:36:53,125 --> 00:36:54,500
it now. One of
2057
00:36:54,500 --> 00:36:55,000
the things I see
2058
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:55,583
right now is
2059
00:36:55,583 --> 00:36:56,250
like, you know,
2060
00:36:56,250 --> 00:36:57,041
sargasm is on the
2061
00:36:57,041 --> 00:36:57,875
beaches in the
2062
00:36:57,875 --> 00:36:58,416
Caribbean and
2063
00:36:58,416 --> 00:36:58,708
people are
2064
00:36:58,708 --> 00:36:59,250
freaking out
2065
00:36:59,250 --> 00:36:59,916
because they see
2066
00:36:59,916 --> 00:37:00,541
this and it's a
2067
00:37:00,541 --> 00:37:01,041
climate change
2068
00:37:01,041 --> 00:37:01,625
thing. It's
2069
00:37:01,625 --> 00:37:02,000
increasing more because of climate change.
2070
00:37:02,041 --> 00:37:04,416
But these the
2071
00:37:04,416 --> 00:37:05,041
seaweed also
2072
00:37:05,041 --> 00:37:06,125
helps, you know,
2073
00:37:06,500 --> 00:37:08,041
sequester carbon.
2074
00:37:08,666 --> 00:37:09,083
Same thing with
2075
00:37:09,083 --> 00:37:10,125
with, you know,
2076
00:37:10,125 --> 00:37:10,416
some of these
2077
00:37:10,416 --> 00:37:11,458
microbes that we
2078
00:37:11,458 --> 00:37:12,333
that we don't
2079
00:37:12,333 --> 00:37:14,583
see. I guess and
2080
00:37:14,583 --> 00:37:15,041
and there's
2081
00:37:15,041 --> 00:37:15,666
there's such a
2082
00:37:15,666 --> 00:37:17,166
knowledge gap in
2083
00:37:17,166 --> 00:37:17,791
microbes, even
2084
00:37:17,791 --> 00:37:18,625
for myself. And
2085
00:37:18,625 --> 00:37:19,458
as I learn more
2086
00:37:19,458 --> 00:37:20,166
and more, I start
2087
00:37:20,166 --> 00:37:20,708
to get especially
2088
00:37:20,708 --> 00:37:21,291
this week as I
2089
00:37:21,291 --> 00:37:21,958
did research for
2090
00:37:21,958 --> 00:37:22,500
the episodes this
2091
00:37:22,500 --> 00:37:23,250
week and your
2092
00:37:23,250 --> 00:37:24,333
episodes. I'm
2093
00:37:24,333 --> 00:37:25,041
always impressed
2094
00:37:25,041 --> 00:37:26,166
by what microbes
2095
00:37:26,166 --> 00:37:27,333
are able to do in
2096
00:37:27,333 --> 00:37:28,500
the ocean and for
2097
00:37:28,500 --> 00:37:29,708
us as a as a
2098
00:37:29,708 --> 00:37:31,375
planet. But if if
2099
00:37:31,375 --> 00:37:32,000
there's, you know, if there's a lot of microbes in the ocean, you know, you know, you can do it.
2100
00:37:32,041 --> 00:37:32,416
You know, there's
2101
00:37:32,416 --> 00:37:32,958
still a knowledge
2102
00:37:32,958 --> 00:37:33,916
gap. So if
2103
00:37:33,916 --> 00:37:34,500
there's if
2104
00:37:34,500 --> 00:37:35,041
there's one thing
2105
00:37:35,041 --> 00:37:36,333
you wish people
2106
00:37:36,333 --> 00:37:38,875
understood about
2107
00:37:38,875 --> 00:37:39,750
microbes in the
2108
00:37:39,750 --> 00:37:41,041
ocean, what would
2109
00:37:41,041 --> 00:37:41,875
it be? That's a
2110
00:37:41,875 --> 00:37:42,166
difficult
2111
00:37:42,166 --> 00:37:43,000
question, Andrea.
2112
00:37:44,916 --> 00:37:47,416
I will I will I
2113
00:37:47,416 --> 00:37:48,875
will try to to
2114
00:37:48,875 --> 00:37:49,583
understand this
2115
00:37:49,583 --> 00:37:51,041
like, no, like,
2116
00:37:51,041 --> 00:37:51,625
like a single,
2117
00:37:51,625 --> 00:37:52,541
you know, like a
2118
00:37:52,541 --> 00:37:53,125
single unit,
2119
00:37:53,583 --> 00:37:54,000
understand
2120
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:55,416
everything, like
2121
00:37:55,416 --> 00:37:56,458
a chain that all
2122
00:37:56,458 --> 00:37:57,500
of us are a part
2123
00:37:57,500 --> 00:37:57,958
of this
2124
00:37:57,958 --> 00:37:58,375
ecosystem.
2125
00:37:59,041 --> 00:37:59,708
And we are living
2126
00:37:59,708 --> 00:38:00,458
from that we are
2127
00:38:00,458 --> 00:38:01,166
like living
2128
00:38:01,166 --> 00:38:04,083
together. And
2129
00:38:04,083 --> 00:38:04,500
yeah, like, for
2130
00:38:04,500 --> 00:38:05,333
example, like put
2131
00:38:05,333 --> 00:38:07,125
or, you know,
2132
00:38:07,125 --> 00:38:08,500
like, thinking
2133
00:38:08,500 --> 00:38:09,083
about the thing
2134
00:38:09,083 --> 00:38:10,083
that we can do in
2135
00:38:10,083 --> 00:38:10,750
order to help the
2136
00:38:10,750 --> 00:38:11,500
planet, you know,
2137
00:38:11,500 --> 00:38:11,833
like, for
2138
00:38:11,833 --> 00:38:12,625
example, we see
2139
00:38:12,625 --> 00:38:13,791
like, when you
2140
00:38:13,791 --> 00:38:14,625
see this, for
2141
00:38:14,625 --> 00:38:15,375
example, the new,
2142
00:38:15,375 --> 00:38:16,166
you see like the
2143
00:38:16,166 --> 00:38:16,666
ocean, like
2144
00:38:16,666 --> 00:38:17,666
people putting a
2145
00:38:17,666 --> 00:38:18,541
lot of garbage on
2146
00:38:18,541 --> 00:38:19,250
it is like, you
2147
00:38:19,250 --> 00:38:19,833
know, like, for
2148
00:38:19,833 --> 00:38:20,583
example, on some
2149
00:38:20,583 --> 00:38:21,666
countries like
2150
00:38:21,666 --> 00:38:22,333
India,
2151
00:38:22,333 --> 00:38:22,958
Bangladesh, that
2152
00:38:22,958 --> 00:38:23,666
you see, like the
2153
00:38:23,666 --> 00:38:25,583
place around that
2154
00:38:25,583 --> 00:38:26,250
you say how this
2155
00:38:26,250 --> 00:38:27,000
can be possible.
2156
00:38:27,041 --> 00:38:27,791
And for example,
2157
00:38:28,541 --> 00:38:29,750
so many factories
2158
00:38:29,750 --> 00:38:32,833
like we producing
2159
00:38:32,833 --> 00:38:34,250
so many CO2 to
2160
00:38:34,250 --> 00:38:34,958
the asthma fair
2161
00:38:34,958 --> 00:38:37,250
about that. We
2162
00:38:37,250 --> 00:38:37,666
need to think
2163
00:38:37,666 --> 00:38:38,000
like this
2164
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:39,250
organism is
2165
00:38:39,250 --> 00:38:40,583
helping to deal
2166
00:38:40,583 --> 00:38:42,333
with problem, a
2167
00:38:42,333 --> 00:38:42,958
problem, like
2168
00:38:42,958 --> 00:38:43,666
very important
2169
00:38:43,666 --> 00:38:44,166
problem that
2170
00:38:44,166 --> 00:38:44,750
we're suffering
2171
00:38:44,750 --> 00:38:45,708
nowadays are like
2172
00:38:45,708 --> 00:38:46,416
the greenhouse
2173
00:38:46,416 --> 00:38:47,500
effect, because
2174
00:38:47,500 --> 00:38:48,458
as you mentioned,
2175
00:38:49,458 --> 00:38:49,750
they are can
2176
00:38:49,750 --> 00:38:51,958
capture this gas
2177
00:38:51,958 --> 00:38:52,458
that this
2178
00:38:52,458 --> 00:38:53,166
terrible gas that
2179
00:38:53,166 --> 00:38:54,416
we are producing
2180
00:38:54,416 --> 00:38:54,916
and we are
2181
00:38:54,916 --> 00:38:55,625
posting in like
2182
00:38:55,625 --> 00:38:57,000
the, the earth.
2183
00:38:57,041 --> 00:38:58,708
Every year more,
2184
00:38:58,708 --> 00:38:59,625
more, more, more,
2185
00:38:59,625 --> 00:39:00,625
more, more. They
2186
00:39:00,625 --> 00:39:01,666
have the ability,
2187
00:39:02,458 --> 00:39:03,208
same thing that
2188
00:39:03,208 --> 00:39:03,708
the planet even
2189
00:39:03,708 --> 00:39:04,458
more efficiently
2190
00:39:04,458 --> 00:39:05,666
to capture the
2191
00:39:05,666 --> 00:39:07,166
CO2. And the same
2192
00:39:07,166 --> 00:39:08,041
thing with it.
2193
00:39:08,041 --> 00:39:09,333
Okay, we are
2194
00:39:09,333 --> 00:39:10,041
taking the CO2
2195
00:39:10,041 --> 00:39:10,500
and at the same
2196
00:39:10,500 --> 00:39:11,458
time are
2197
00:39:11,458 --> 00:39:12,416
releasing oxygen
2198
00:39:12,416 --> 00:39:13,000
and the thing
2199
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:13,458
that they do in
2200
00:39:13,458 --> 00:39:14,083
the life, like,
2201
00:39:14,166 --> 00:39:14,791
exactly the same
2202
00:39:14,791 --> 00:39:15,000
process.
2203
00:39:15,041 --> 00:39:16,166
But at the end, I
2204
00:39:16,166 --> 00:39:16,666
am releasing
2205
00:39:16,666 --> 00:39:17,958
oxygen, but
2206
00:39:17,958 --> 00:39:18,708
producing a
2207
00:39:18,708 --> 00:39:20,458
compound, even
2208
00:39:20,458 --> 00:39:22,208
like thing that
2209
00:39:22,208 --> 00:39:22,708
you can even
2210
00:39:22,708 --> 00:39:23,250
imagine, like
2211
00:39:23,250 --> 00:39:23,833
everything that
2212
00:39:23,833 --> 00:39:24,833
will change that
2213
00:39:24,833 --> 00:39:25,791
you can think we
2214
00:39:25,791 --> 00:39:26,625
can produce. So
2215
00:39:26,625 --> 00:39:27,416
it is like
2216
00:39:27,416 --> 00:39:29,000
something that I
2217
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:29,666
didn't start to
2218
00:39:29,666 --> 00:39:30,000
communicate a lot about that.
2219
00:39:30,041 --> 00:39:31,250
You know, like,
2220
00:39:31,250 --> 00:39:31,666
for example,
2221
00:39:31,666 --> 00:39:32,541
doing a lot of
2222
00:39:32,541 --> 00:39:33,375
talking about
2223
00:39:33,375 --> 00:39:34,166
this and most of
2224
00:39:34,166 --> 00:39:34,833
the people and
2225
00:39:34,833 --> 00:39:35,666
even when my book
2226
00:39:35,666 --> 00:39:37,208
I start to, to
2227
00:39:37,208 --> 00:39:37,833
talk also a bit
2228
00:39:37,833 --> 00:39:39,750
about the sign of
2229
00:39:39,750 --> 00:39:40,333
a theory and most
2230
00:39:40,333 --> 00:39:40,791
of the people
2231
00:39:40,791 --> 00:39:41,541
under you, I feel
2232
00:39:41,541 --> 00:39:42,666
like they don't
2233
00:39:42,666 --> 00:39:43,333
understand this
2234
00:39:43,333 --> 00:39:43,833
and they don't
2235
00:39:43,833 --> 00:39:45,875
have a idea about
2236
00:39:45,875 --> 00:39:47,166
the thing that
2237
00:39:47,166 --> 00:39:47,708
they are capable
2238
00:39:47,708 --> 00:39:48,750
to do, because
2239
00:39:48,750 --> 00:39:50,083
this is this, the
2240
00:39:50,083 --> 00:39:50,708
problem is life
2241
00:39:50,708 --> 00:39:51,041
from the
2242
00:39:51,041 --> 00:39:51,750
secondary school
2243
00:39:51,750 --> 00:39:52,291
that they teach,
2244
00:39:52,666 --> 00:39:53,583
the same that I
2245
00:39:53,583 --> 00:39:54,666
was telling, like
2246
00:39:54,666 --> 00:39:55,416
the oxygen
2247
00:39:55,416 --> 00:39:56,375
released by the
2248
00:39:56,375 --> 00:39:57,208
forest, by the
2249
00:39:57,208 --> 00:39:58,250
trees, but there
2250
00:39:58,250 --> 00:39:59,333
is no mention in
2251
00:39:59,333 --> 00:40:00,000
the book there's a lot of
2252
00:40:00,041 --> 00:40:01,000
leads that I have
2253
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:02,416
seen in from this
2254
00:40:02,416 --> 00:40:03,375
organism. And now
2255
00:40:03,375 --> 00:40:04,291
I think that with
2256
00:40:04,291 --> 00:40:04,875
the past, the
2257
00:40:04,875 --> 00:40:05,625
time people will
2258
00:40:05,625 --> 00:40:06,500
take a more
2259
00:40:06,500 --> 00:40:07,208
constant and
2260
00:40:07,208 --> 00:40:08,166
aware about this.
2261
00:40:08,875 --> 00:40:10,041
But I think that
2262
00:40:10,041 --> 00:40:10,500
the situation is
2263
00:40:10,500 --> 00:40:12,041
starting to
2264
00:40:12,041 --> 00:40:12,791
change because
2265
00:40:12,791 --> 00:40:13,250
most of the
2266
00:40:13,250 --> 00:40:14,500
people that I
2267
00:40:14,500 --> 00:40:15,000
know with the
2268
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:15,916
past, you know,
2269
00:40:15,916 --> 00:40:17,541
like when I are
2270
00:40:17,541 --> 00:40:18,500
doing like event
2271
00:40:18,500 --> 00:40:19,250
in order to
2272
00:40:19,250 --> 00:40:20,166
communicate this
2273
00:40:20,166 --> 00:40:21,000
more like people
2274
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:22,500
are trying to be
2275
00:40:22,500 --> 00:40:23,125
more aware about
2276
00:40:23,125 --> 00:40:24,833
this. Yeah. And
2277
00:40:24,833 --> 00:40:25,500
it's interesting,
2278
00:40:25,500 --> 00:40:25,750
you know, you
2279
00:40:25,750 --> 00:40:26,208
talk about
2280
00:40:26,208 --> 00:40:27,208
getting people
2281
00:40:27,208 --> 00:40:27,958
more aware.
2282
00:40:30,166 --> 00:40:33,250
What do you think
2283
00:40:33,250 --> 00:40:34,000
scientists should
2284
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:35,041
do differently if
2285
00:40:35,041 --> 00:40:35,625
they want their
2286
00:40:35,625 --> 00:40:36,708
work to actually
2287
00:40:36,708 --> 00:40:37,583
reach an
2288
00:40:37,583 --> 00:40:38,083
influenced
2289
00:40:38,083 --> 00:40:39,541
society? Well, I
2290
00:40:39,541 --> 00:40:40,875
think the main
2291
00:40:40,875 --> 00:40:41,625
problem that we
2292
00:40:41,625 --> 00:40:42,458
have is science
2293
00:40:42,458 --> 00:40:43,375
and science
2294
00:40:43,375 --> 00:40:45,375
sometimes we
2295
00:40:45,375 --> 00:40:46,375
don't have enough
2296
00:40:46,375 --> 00:40:46,833
visibility,
2297
00:40:47,500 --> 00:40:47,916
because we
2298
00:40:47,916 --> 00:40:48,666
produce like, for
2299
00:40:48,666 --> 00:40:50,000
example, so many
2300
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:50,750
papers, you know,
2301
00:40:50,750 --> 00:40:51,291
we publish a
2302
00:40:51,291 --> 00:40:52,125
paper in nature
2303
00:40:52,125 --> 00:40:52,833
or something like
2304
00:40:52,833 --> 00:40:53,375
that, this like
2305
00:40:53,375 --> 00:40:54,166
something like,
2306
00:40:54,500 --> 00:40:55,666
yeah, very, very
2307
00:40:55,666 --> 00:40:56,166
important.
2308
00:40:56,916 --> 00:40:57,375
But for example,
2309
00:40:57,583 --> 00:40:58,000
you will never
2310
00:40:58,000 --> 00:40:59,125
see like on TV,
2311
00:40:59,708 --> 00:41:00,500
oh, this kind,
2312
00:41:00,791 --> 00:41:01,166
this group, this
2313
00:41:01,166 --> 00:41:01,791
group has
2314
00:41:01,791 --> 00:41:03,000
discovered in the
2315
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:03,625
ocean when make
2316
00:41:03,625 --> 00:41:04,458
urbanism that,
2317
00:41:04,458 --> 00:41:05,458
you know, we can
2318
00:41:05,458 --> 00:41:06,041
do something for
2319
00:41:06,041 --> 00:41:06,500
helping the
2320
00:41:06,500 --> 00:41:07,041
planet because,
2321
00:41:07,041 --> 00:41:08,416
you know, like, I
2322
00:41:08,416 --> 00:41:08,875
think that there
2323
00:41:08,875 --> 00:41:09,333
is like the
2324
00:41:09,333 --> 00:41:09,875
message to that
2325
00:41:09,875 --> 00:41:10,291
to the
2326
00:41:10,291 --> 00:41:11,291
general people.
2327
00:41:11,333 --> 00:41:12,708
For example, it
2328
00:41:12,708 --> 00:41:13,708
is not like
2329
00:41:13,708 --> 00:41:16,000
something that
2330
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:16,791
they are thinking
2331
00:41:16,791 --> 00:41:17,291
that they are
2332
00:41:17,291 --> 00:41:17,958
relevant or they
2333
00:41:17,958 --> 00:41:18,666
can, you know,
2334
00:41:18,666 --> 00:41:19,750
like, and more
2335
00:41:19,750 --> 00:41:21,083
audience. But I
2336
00:41:21,083 --> 00:41:21,583
think like the
2337
00:41:21,583 --> 00:41:21,958
main thing that
2338
00:41:21,958 --> 00:41:22,708
we need to do is
2339
00:41:22,708 --> 00:41:23,708
like give more
2340
00:41:23,708 --> 00:41:25,083
visibility to
2341
00:41:25,083 --> 00:41:25,625
scientists,
2342
00:41:26,458 --> 00:41:27,125
because even
2343
00:41:27,125 --> 00:41:27,500
like, for
2344
00:41:27,500 --> 00:41:28,000
example, when
2345
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:28,625
science want to
2346
00:41:28,625 --> 00:41:29,375
communicate, for
2347
00:41:29,375 --> 00:41:29,875
example, in the
2348
00:41:29,875 --> 00:41:30,875
past, when I was
2349
00:41:30,875 --> 00:41:31,333
working in the
2350
00:41:31,333 --> 00:41:32,750
unity, in the
2351
00:41:32,750 --> 00:41:33,125
university,
2352
00:41:33,375 --> 00:41:34,541
sorry, the way
2353
00:41:34,541 --> 00:41:35,208
that we do it,
2354
00:41:35,208 --> 00:41:35,916
for example, we
2355
00:41:35,916 --> 00:41:37,125
went to different
2356
00:41:37,125 --> 00:41:38,208
high secondary
2357
00:41:38,208 --> 00:41:39,166
school, you know,
2358
00:41:39,166 --> 00:41:39,958
people was in the
2359
00:41:39,958 --> 00:41:40,583
moment that they
2360
00:41:40,583 --> 00:41:41,250
need to,
2361
00:41:41,625 --> 00:41:42,041
that's very,
2362
00:41:42,041 --> 00:41:42,708
very, I really
2363
00:41:42,708 --> 00:41:43,333
like that when I
2364
00:41:43,333 --> 00:41:43,875
was working in
2365
00:41:43,875 --> 00:41:44,416
the unit, because
2366
00:41:44,416 --> 00:41:46,250
we go to give
2367
00:41:46,250 --> 00:41:46,958
talking, for
2368
00:41:46,958 --> 00:41:47,541
example, I made
2369
00:41:47,541 --> 00:41:48,208
that you are just
2370
00:41:48,208 --> 00:41:48,750
finishing, you
2371
00:41:48,750 --> 00:41:49,083
are doing
2372
00:41:49,083 --> 00:41:49,750
science, you
2373
00:41:49,750 --> 00:41:50,250
know, like
2374
00:41:50,250 --> 00:41:51,208
starting, and
2375
00:41:51,208 --> 00:41:51,541
you're starting
2376
00:41:51,541 --> 00:41:52,458
to see and say,
2377
00:41:52,458 --> 00:41:52,875
okay, what should
2378
00:41:52,875 --> 00:41:53,208
they do?
2379
00:41:54,291 --> 00:41:54,833
I am like
2380
00:41:54,833 --> 00:41:56,000
something that I
2381
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:57,250
really feel like
2382
00:41:57,250 --> 00:41:58,208
fulfillment, like
2383
00:41:58,208 --> 00:41:59,458
with myself, for
2384
00:41:59,458 --> 00:42:00,125
example, when you
2385
00:42:00,125 --> 00:42:00,583
like, for
2386
00:42:00,583 --> 00:42:01,041
example, give
2387
00:42:01,041 --> 00:42:02,458
people, tell
2388
00:42:02,458 --> 00:42:03,500
people, okay, we
2389
00:42:03,500 --> 00:42:03,791
have this
2390
00:42:03,791 --> 00:42:04,458
organization, we
2391
00:42:04,458 --> 00:42:04,791
can do
2392
00:42:04,791 --> 00:42:05,583
that, you know,
2393
00:42:05,625 --> 00:42:07,541
it's a thing that
2394
00:42:07,541 --> 00:42:07,958
people say
2395
00:42:07,958 --> 00:42:08,791
starting to study
2396
00:42:08,791 --> 00:42:09,250
in this as
2397
00:42:09,250 --> 00:42:10,041
something that
2398
00:42:10,041 --> 00:42:12,291
change, you know,
2399
00:42:12,291 --> 00:42:12,583
like, see
2400
00:42:12,583 --> 00:42:13,125
something that
2401
00:42:13,125 --> 00:42:14,333
proves like a big
2402
00:42:14,333 --> 00:42:14,958
chain and to
2403
00:42:14,958 --> 00:42:16,166
that. But the
2404
00:42:16,166 --> 00:42:16,666
thing is like,
2405
00:42:16,666 --> 00:42:17,333
yes, I think that
2406
00:42:17,333 --> 00:42:17,833
the main problem
2407
00:42:17,833 --> 00:42:18,500
is like, we don't
2408
00:42:18,500 --> 00:42:19,291
have visibility,
2409
00:42:19,958 --> 00:42:21,083
we think like, we
2410
00:42:21,083 --> 00:42:21,500
need to do
2411
00:42:21,500 --> 00:42:22,500
something. But
2412
00:42:22,500 --> 00:42:23,750
thanks to people
2413
00:42:23,750 --> 00:42:25,125
like you, and
2414
00:42:25,125 --> 00:42:25,833
another like
2415
00:42:25,833 --> 00:42:26,833
entities like
2416
00:42:26,833 --> 00:42:29,000
give visibility
2417
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:29,916
to science in
2418
00:42:29,916 --> 00:42:31,000
this interview,
2419
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:31,541
for example, when
2420
00:42:31,541 --> 00:42:32,041
I saw your
2421
00:42:32,041 --> 00:42:32,583
pocket, I said
2422
00:42:32,583 --> 00:42:33,125
like, this is
2423
00:42:33,125 --> 00:42:34,208
like when this is
2424
00:42:34,208 --> 00:42:34,708
something that
2425
00:42:34,708 --> 00:42:35,583
should be like,
2426
00:42:36,250 --> 00:42:37,166
you know, even on
2427
00:42:37,166 --> 00:42:38,000
TV or something,
2428
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:38,708
why don't you
2429
00:42:38,708 --> 00:42:39,416
know, the ocean
2430
00:42:39,416 --> 00:42:40,583
is like, but I'm
2431
00:42:40,583 --> 00:42:41,125
telling you,
2432
00:42:41,125 --> 00:42:41,625
Andrew, like with
2433
00:42:41,625 --> 00:42:42,083
the passion at
2434
00:42:42,083 --> 00:42:42,708
the time, we will
2435
00:42:42,708 --> 00:42:43,333
remember this
2436
00:42:43,333 --> 00:42:43,833
word, because
2437
00:42:43,833 --> 00:42:44,666
this will be like
2438
00:42:44,666 --> 00:42:45,666
a massive impact.
2439
00:42:46,166 --> 00:42:47,083
Because now, you
2440
00:42:47,083 --> 00:42:47,541
know, like this
2441
00:42:47,541 --> 00:42:48,083
thing that, for
2442
00:42:48,083 --> 00:42:48,666
example, I was
2443
00:42:48,666 --> 00:42:49,375
telling you about
2444
00:42:49,375 --> 00:42:50,416
the insulin, it's
2445
00:42:50,416 --> 00:42:50,958
something that we
2446
00:42:50,958 --> 00:42:51,625
just discovered,
2447
00:42:51,625 --> 00:42:52,500
and we will see,
2448
00:42:53,291 --> 00:42:54,166
we have a
2449
00:42:54,166 --> 00:42:55,916
schedule with the
2450
00:42:55,916 --> 00:42:56,666
BBC in order to
2451
00:42:56,666 --> 00:42:57,333
talk about this,
2452
00:42:57,916 --> 00:42:58,500
you will see like
2453
00:42:58,500 --> 00:42:58,791
when this
2454
00:42:58,791 --> 00:42:59,291
happened,
2455
00:43:00,083 --> 00:43:00,500
it's like when
2456
00:43:00,500 --> 00:43:01,166
people will be,
2457
00:43:01,166 --> 00:43:01,833
oh, they know
2458
00:43:01,833 --> 00:43:02,458
this organism
2459
00:43:02,458 --> 00:43:03,208
producing
2460
00:43:03,208 --> 00:43:04,000
insulin, because
2461
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:04,583
I think we are
2462
00:43:04,583 --> 00:43:05,208
going to finish
2463
00:43:05,208 --> 00:43:05,833
with all of the
2464
00:43:05,833 --> 00:43:06,708
resource. And we
2465
00:43:06,708 --> 00:43:07,666
had this organism
2466
00:43:07,666 --> 00:43:08,708
that using the
2467
00:43:08,708 --> 00:43:09,750
CO2 on this and
2468
00:43:09,750 --> 00:43:10,458
will be like the
2469
00:43:10,458 --> 00:43:11,291
absolutely the
2470
00:43:11,291 --> 00:43:11,958
game changer.
2471
00:43:12,208 --> 00:43:12,583
I completely
2472
00:43:12,583 --> 00:43:14,208
agree. Jose, this
2473
00:43:14,208 --> 00:43:14,750
has been
2474
00:43:14,750 --> 00:43:15,458
absolutely
2475
00:43:15,458 --> 00:43:16,250
amazing to have
2476
00:43:16,250 --> 00:43:16,541
you on the
2477
00:43:16,541 --> 00:43:17,208
podcast and be
2478
00:43:17,208 --> 00:43:17,625
able to talk
2479
00:43:17,625 --> 00:43:18,208
about this talk
2480
00:43:18,208 --> 00:43:18,916
about microbes,
2481
00:43:18,916 --> 00:43:19,375
talk about your
2482
00:43:19,375 --> 00:43:20,083
work with
2483
00:43:20,083 --> 00:43:21,000
cyanobacteria, I
2484
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:21,416
think it's such
2485
00:43:21,416 --> 00:43:22,333
an important
2486
00:43:22,333 --> 00:43:24,541
aspect to to the
2487
00:43:24,541 --> 00:43:25,208
work you do. And
2488
00:43:25,208 --> 00:43:25,583
I'd love to
2489
00:43:25,583 --> 00:43:26,083
invite you back
2490
00:43:26,083 --> 00:43:27,000
on to talk more
2491
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:27,916
about some of the
2492
00:43:27,916 --> 00:43:28,458
work you do in
2493
00:43:28,458 --> 00:43:28,958
the future.
2494
00:43:29,708 --> 00:43:30,916
And we would we'd
2495
00:43:30,916 --> 00:43:31,458
love to hear more
2496
00:43:31,458 --> 00:43:31,958
about microbes
2497
00:43:31,958 --> 00:43:32,625
because we just
2498
00:43:32,625 --> 00:43:33,125
don't know enough
2499
00:43:33,125 --> 00:43:33,916
about microbes on
2500
00:43:33,916 --> 00:43:34,583
this podcast and
2501
00:43:34,583 --> 00:43:35,125
we need to know
2502
00:43:35,125 --> 00:43:37,000
more. So again,
2503
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:37,500
Jose, thank you
2504
00:43:37,500 --> 00:43:38,000

00:43:39,208 --> 00:43:40,500
it. And we'll
2508
00:43:40,500 --> 00:43:41,250
talk to you soon.
2509
00:43:41,250 --> 00:43:41,833
Absolutely. It
2510
00:43:41,833 --> 00:43:42,416
was a pleasure.
2511
00:43:42,875 --> 00:43:43,333
And thanks for
2512
00:43:43,333 --> 00:43:43,875
this opportunity.
2513
00:43:44,500 --> 00:43:45,625
And great job. And
2514
00:43:45,625 --> 00:43:46,000
congratulations
2515
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:47,041
to you, Andrew,
2516
00:43:47,041 --> 00:43:47,875
for being this
2517
00:43:47,875 --> 00:43:49,458
really a work
2518
00:43:49,458 --> 00:43:51,166
because thanks to
2519
00:43:51,166 --> 00:43:52,166
boys like you,
2520
00:43:52,166 --> 00:43:53,708
like we are like
2521
00:43:53,708 --> 00:43:54,291
taking all of the
2522
00:43:54,291 --> 00:43:54,708
books of the
2523
00:43:54,708 --> 00:43:55,250
scientists and
2524
00:43:55,250 --> 00:43:56,000
amplifying this
2525
00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:57,250
is like the thing
2526
00:43:57,250 --> 00:43:58,375
that we are doing
2527
00:43:58,375 --> 00:43:59,000
the real
2528
00:43:59,000 --> 00:43:59,458
difference.
2529
00:43:59,500 --> 00:44:00,333
And the world. So
2530
00:44:00,333 --> 00:44:00,875
thank you for
2531
00:44:00,875 --> 00:44:02,000
this. You need to
2532
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:02,875
be proud of that.
2533
00:44:02,875 --> 00:44:03,166
Well, thank you
2534
00:44:03,166 --> 00:44:04,250
very much. I do
2535
00:44:04,250 --> 00:44:05,208
appreciate it.
2536
00:44:05,208 --> 00:44:05,958
It's it's a lot
2537
00:44:05,958 --> 00:44:06,666
of hard work, as
2538
00:44:06,666 --> 00:44:07,583
you know, and
2539
00:44:07,583 --> 00:44:08,875
it's it, but it's
2540
00:44:08,875 --> 00:44:09,500
it's the reward
2541
00:44:09,500 --> 00:44:10,500
is worth it. And
2542
00:44:10,500 --> 00:44:11,833
so really happy
2543
00:44:11,833 --> 00:44:12,750
to say that,
2544
00:44:13,500 --> 00:44:13,833
yeah, we're
2545
00:44:13,833 --> 00:44:14,666
really happy that
2546
00:44:14,666 --> 00:44:16,666
this this is this
2547
00:44:16,666 --> 00:44:17,458
is being done. So
2548
00:44:17,458 --> 00:44:18,000
we appreciate it.
2549
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:18,250
Thank you
2550
00:44:18,250 --> 00:44:18,541
so much.
2551
00:44:18,541 --> 00:44:19,666
Thank you. Was a
2552
00:44:19,666 --> 00:44:20,000
pleasure.
2553
00:44:20,208 --> 00:44:20,833
Thank you, Jose,
2554
00:44:20,833 --> 00:44:21,416
for joining us on
2555
00:44:21,416 --> 00:44:22,000
today's episode
2556
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:22,541
of the how to
2557
00:44:22,541 --> 00:44:23,000
protect the ocean
2558
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:23,541
podcast. It was
2559
00:44:23,541 --> 00:44:24,125
great to have you
2560
00:44:24,125 --> 00:44:25,666
on. Learn so much
2561
00:44:25,666 --> 00:44:26,666
today about and
2562
00:44:26,666 --> 00:44:27,291
just this week
2563
00:44:27,291 --> 00:44:28,333
about microbes,
2564
00:44:28,333 --> 00:44:29,500
you know, this is
2565
00:44:29,500 --> 00:44:30,458
a subject matter
2566
00:44:30,458 --> 00:44:31,333
that I was not as
2567
00:44:31,333 --> 00:44:32,000
familiar with.
2568
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:32,666
But I'm bringing
2569
00:44:32,666 --> 00:44:33,625
it to you because
2570
00:44:33,625 --> 00:44:35,583
I wanted to teach
2571
00:44:35,583 --> 00:44:36,208
you something new
2572
00:44:36,208 --> 00:44:36,791
because this is
2573
00:44:36,791 --> 00:44:37,166
where you learn
2574
00:44:37,166 --> 00:44:37,875
about the ocean.
2575
00:44:37,916 --> 00:44:38,041
And it's
2576
00:44:38,041 --> 00:44:38,625
something that I
2577
00:44:38,625 --> 00:44:39,958
feel is important
2578
00:44:39,958 --> 00:44:40,916
that we learn all
2579
00:44:40,916 --> 00:44:41,750
aspects of the
2580
00:44:41,750 --> 00:44:42,291
ocean, not just
2581
00:44:42,291 --> 00:44:42,791
something that
2582
00:44:42,791 --> 00:44:43,375
I'm familiar
2583
00:44:43,375 --> 00:44:44,375
with. So going
2584
00:44:44,375 --> 00:44:45,000
outside my
2585
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:45,541
comfort zone,
2586
00:44:45,541 --> 00:44:45,708
learning
2587
00:44:45,708 --> 00:44:46,333
something new,
2588
00:44:46,333 --> 00:44:47,208
just trying to be
2589
00:44:47,208 --> 00:44:48,041
curious and
2590
00:44:48,041 --> 00:44:48,666
seeing what we
2591
00:44:48,666 --> 00:44:50,083
can cover on this
2592
00:44:50,083 --> 00:44:50,583
podcast.
2593
00:44:50,583 --> 00:44:51,166
And Jose just
2594
00:44:51,166 --> 00:44:51,791
summed it up
2595
00:44:51,791 --> 00:44:52,875
nicely in terms
2596
00:44:52,875 --> 00:44:53,625
of bringing what
2597
00:44:53,625 --> 00:44:54,833
biotechnology is,
2598
00:44:55,125 --> 00:44:55,958
how we can use
2599
00:44:55,958 --> 00:44:56,875
microbes to help
2600
00:44:56,875 --> 00:44:57,666
us in our climate
2601
00:44:57,666 --> 00:44:58,291
solutions and
2602
00:44:58,291 --> 00:44:59,000
other solutions
2603
00:44:59,000 --> 00:44:59,875
and how important
2604
00:44:59,875 --> 00:45:00,500
sound of bacteria
2605
00:45:00,500 --> 00:45:01,666
is something that
2606
00:45:01,666 --> 00:45:02,166
I didn't know
2607
00:45:02,166 --> 00:45:02,583
when I first
2608
00:45:02,583 --> 00:45:03,000
started.
2609
00:45:03,041 --> 00:45:03,958
So it's great to
2610
00:45:03,958 --> 00:45:04,583
be able to learn
2611
00:45:04,583 --> 00:45:05,250
something new for
2612
00:45:05,250 --> 00:45:05,833
myself. I hope
2613
00:45:05,833 --> 00:45:06,166
you learn
2614
00:45:06,166 --> 00:45:07,250
something new as
2615
00:45:07,250 --> 00:45:07,750
well. And I'm
2616
00:45:07,750 --> 00:45:07,958
going to put
2617
00:45:07,958 --> 00:45:09,416
links to Jose so
2618
00:45:09,416 --> 00:45:09,875
you can get
2619
00:45:09,875 --> 00:45:12,083
access to him in
2620
00:45:12,083 --> 00:45:12,750
a future date.
2621
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:13,416
And of course, if
2622
00:45:13,416 --> 00:45:13,791
you have any
2623
00:45:13,791 --> 00:45:14,291
