And while its beaches, tropical rain forest, and biolumescent bays are wonders of nature, the island is not without its problems. From energy needs to economics, Puerto Rico shares many issues facing the rest of the world. In this MicrobeWorld Video episode we talk with Nadathur S. Govind, Ph.D., Professor, Marine Sciences Department at the University of Puerto Rico, Mayaguez, and William Rosado, Marine Sciences Department at the University of Puerto Rico, Mayaguez, about the sustainable biofuel program they are launching in southwestern Puerto Rico. According to Govind, the island's successful sugarcane industry died in the 1990's. In fact, local rum manufacturers now import their molasses from as far away as Malaysia. As a result, approximately 70 percent of the population in southwestern Puerto Rico is on welfare. Govind believes he can rebuild the local economy by harnessing bacterial enzymes extracted from the guts of termites and shipworms (mollusks) found in the mangroves off the coast to break down the lignocellulose in sugarcane and hibiscus. The idea is that if he can bring agricultural production back to his community, he can use the crop waste to produce ethanol to supplement Puerto Rico's demand for fuel. And since the byproduct of ethanol is carbon dioxide, he also plans to use algae to capture the gas and produce biodiesel. The waste that he has left over can then be returned to the soil as fertilizer or given to livestock as feed, completing the cycle. For more information about Govind's program please read the article, "Combining Agriculture with Microbial Genomics to Make Fuels," found in the American Society for Microbiology's Microbe magazine.<p> By <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/" >csuspect</a></p> <p> Tags : <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/tags/Govind">Govind</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/tags/Nadathur">Nadathur</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/tags/Puerto">Puerto</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/tags/Rico">Rico</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/tags/Rosado">Rosado</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/tags/Sugarcane">Sugarcane</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/tags/University">University</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/tags/William">William</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/tags/biodiesel">biodiesel</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/tags/biofuel">biofuel</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/tags/cellulose">cellulose</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/tags/economics">economics</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/tags/energy">energy</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/tags/enzymes">enzymes</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/tags/parguera">parguera</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/tags/termites">termites</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/tags/welfare">welfare</a></p> http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/videos/52/ csuspect Govind Nadathur Puerto Rico Rosado Sugarcane University William biodiesel biofuel cellulose economics energy enzymes parguera termites welfare csuspect Biofuels in Puerto Rico (MWV30) http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/videos/51/ <p><a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/videos/51/" title="This Week in Virology 33 - Live in Philly" ><img src="http://www.viddler.com/thumbnail.action?token=c564da45&size=1" width="114" height="86" alt="This Week in Virology 33 - Live in Philly" border="0" /></a></p> Vincent, Alan, Dick, and Raul Andino recorded TWiV live at the ASM General Meeting in Philadelphia, where they discussed increased arterial blood pressure caused by cytomegalovirus infection, restriction of influenza replication at low temperature by the avian viral glycoproteins, first isolation of West Nile virus in Pennsylvania, and current status of influenza.

Producing and aging them properly is both an art and a science. From cave-aging to the use of raw milk, watch Dr. Catherine Donnelly, co-director of the Vermont Institute for Artisan Cheeses, describe the microbial world of cheese. Listeria and Salmonella are just a couple of the pathogens that pose a risk to cheese consumers. In this episode of MicrobeWorld Video, Dr. Donnelly explains how these risks are mitigated through strict processing guidelines, why these safeguards make cheese one of the safest commodities today, and how beneficial organisms contribute to the cheese making process. In addition, Erica Sanford from Cowgirl Creamery with the help of Carolyn Wentz from Everona Dairy walk us through the steps of artisan cheese production.

Now in its 16th year, the conference attracts over 300 microbiology and biology educators. Educators come from colleges, universities and international institutions to learn and share the latest information in the biological sciences and education research. The conference program includes plenary, concurrent, poster, and exhibit sessions. Participants engage in formal and informal small group discussions between colleagues all focused on the same goal: to improve teaching and learning in the biological sciences. In this episode, we talk with Erica Suchman, Associate Professor, Colorado State University, Ft. Collins, and Local Organizing Chair for the 2009 meeting. Erica talks about her attendance at the meeting for the past 12 years and the benefits of participating. Also featured are several participants at the ASMCUE 2008 held at Endicott College in Beverly, MA and ASM's Education Director, Amy Chang, a co-founder of the Conference.

On the one hand, the news headlines warn us about dangerous "superbugs." On the other hand, there is growing concern that over-cleaning and excessive hygiene may weaken children's immune systems. Fortunately, there is real, vetted science available to help us understand how to best protect, without overprotecting, our kids. In episode 26 of MicrobeWorld Video, we talk with Dr. Harley Rotbart, author of Germ Proof Your Kids: The Complete Guide to Protecting (without Overprotecting) Your Family from Infections. Dr. Rotbart, a pediatric infectious diseases specialist at The University of Colorado and The Children's Hospital of Denver, has practiced, researched, and taught germ defense for the past 25 years. His new book serves as a resource for parents and health care providers to help put science back into the discussion of protecting kids from microscopic dangers. In addition to evaluating the traditional approaches to infection prevention (vaccines, antibiotics, etc.), Dr. Rotbart also analyzes the science behind Mom's advice about the effects of hygiene, nutrition, sleep, stress, exercise, and even wearing boots in the rain. It turns out Mom was right most of the time. This video was filmed live at the Marian Koshland Science Museum in Washington, D.C. and in various locations around the DC metro area.

Included are scenes from Old San Juan, Fajardo, Guanica, La Parguera and El Yunque, the National Rain Forest. If you ever go, stay away from Isla Verda which is a very touristy, similar to Atlantic City because of the casinos. I recommend renting a car and going just about anywhere else. The rain forest is amazing, the drive along Route 143 is incredible, and don't miss the U.N.-mandated bioreserve dry forest in Guanica.

How about on your keyboard at work? Does soap really reduce the amount of bacteria on your hands? Dr. Keith Lampel of the Food and Drug Administration helps citizen scientists discover the world of bacteria in and around us. Filmed at the Marian Koshland Science Museum in Washington, D.C., this two-part science lab kicked off with a hands-on activity in the museum to observe the invisible bacteria that are present all around us. Attendees were shown how to prepare samples in the museum and took lab supplies with them for further investigation in their homes, offices and schools. For the second part of program, participants shared their scientific endeavors from the previous week as Dr. Lampel answered their questions and discussed recent research at the FDA, new technologies, and new initiatives in food safety. Dr. Keith Lampel is the Director of the Division of Microbiology within the Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). His research interests include the development of rapid detection methods for food-borne pathogens using DNA-based technology, and identifying the genes in these bacteria that are involved in the development of disease.<p> By <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/" >csuspect</a></p> http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/videos/37/ csuspect csuspect Bacteria Lab MWV25 http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/videos/36/ <p><a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/videos/36/" title="MicrobeWorld Video - Ep. 24 - An Iconography of Contagion" ><img src="http://www.viddler.com/thumbnail.action?token=461c9756&size=1" width="114" height="86" alt="MicrobeWorld Video - Ep. 24 - An Iconography of Contagion" border="0" /></a></p> In this episode of MicrobeWorld Video we visit the National Academy of Sciences in Washington, D.C., for the opening of "An Iconography of Contagion," an art exhibition featuring more than 20 public health posters from the 1920s to the 1990s.<p> By <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/" >csuspect</a></p> <p> Tags : <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/tags/*">*</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/tags/academy">academy</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/tags/aids">aids</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/tags/art">art</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/tags/asm">asm</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/tags/contagion">contagion</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/tags/dc">dc</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/tags/disease">disease</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/tags/exhibit">exhibit</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/tags/health">health</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/tags/iconography">iconography</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/tags/infectious">infectious</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/tags/jd">jd</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/tags/library">library</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/tags/medicine">medicine</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/tags/michael">michael</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/tags/national">national</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/tags/posters">posters</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/tags/public">public</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/tags/sappol">sappol</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/tags/science">science</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/tags/talasek">talasek</a></p> http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/videos/36/ csuspect * academy aids art asm contagion dc disease exhibit health iconography infectious jd library medicine michael national posters public sappol science talasek csuspect MicrobeWorld Video - Ep. 24 - An Iconography of Contagion http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/videos/34/ <p><a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/videos/34/" title="Antibiotics: Is a Strong Offense the Best Defense?

In part 2 of this 3 part video series, Dr. Levy discusses how antibiotic resistance develops, the development practices drug companies employ when producing antimicrobials, and how this process may change in the future. Dr. Tollefson outlines how the FDA is encouraging the development of antibiotics in an industry that is mostly focussed on manufacturing drugs for chronic illnesses. Dr. Levy is Professor of Molecular Biology and Microbiology at Tufts University School of Medicine where he is the Director of the Center for Adaptation Genetics and Drug Resistance. He directs research on mechanisms of bacterial antibiotic resistance. Stuart Levy is also Staff Physician at the Tufts Medical Center and he also serves as the president of The International Alliance for the Prudent Use of Antibiotics. Dr. Tollefson is Assistant Commissioner for Science at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). She previously served as Deputy Director of the Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM), where she led CVM's efforts to implement a risk-based approach to address antimicrobial resistance, fulfilling a 2001 Congressional mandate, and was instrumental in the founding of the National Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring System for Enteric Bacteria. Tollefson also served as Chief of Epidemiology in the Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition where she successfully investigated numerous outbreaks of food borne disease and served as liaison to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

(Part 1) MWV21" border="0" /></a></p> Will we become defenseless against bacteria? Will bacteria always find a way to infect and even kill us? The emergence of antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria poses an enormous problem around the world. Scientists believe that the overuse of antibiotics is increasing the appearance of these pathogens. In the US, increasing casualties resulting from drug resistant staphylococcus infections received wide media attention. While antibiotics only work on bacterial infections, many patients and doctors regard antibiotics as a front-line form of treating any type of infection. Antibiotics are often prescribed because the specific pathogen that is causing an illness is often difficult to determine. In some cases they are used as a preventative measure. But is this the best defense? Are there ways to beat bacteria at their own game? On September 18, 2008 at the Koshland Science Museum in Washington, D.C., Dr. Stuart Levy, professor of Molecular Biology and Microbiology at Tufts University School of Medicine and Dr. Linda Tollefson, Assistant Commissioner for Science at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, discussed how to optimize antibiotic use and how to minimize the emergence of drug resistant pathogens. In part 1 of this 3 part video series, Dr. Levy discusses the basics of microbial pathogens, bacteria, and antibiotic resistance. And, Dr. Tollefson outlines the various types and classes of antibiotic drugs, approved uses, and current levels of effectiveness. <p> By <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/" >csuspect</a></p> <p> Tags : <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/tags/ASM">ASM</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/tags/American">American</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/tags/Antibiotics">Antibiotics</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/tags/Koshland">Koshland</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/tags/Koshland">Koshland</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/tags/Levy">Levy</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/tags/Levy">Levy</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/tags/Linda">Linda</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/tags/Linda">Linda</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/tags/Stuart">Stuart</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/tags/Stuart">Stuart</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/tags/Tollefson">Tollefson</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/tags/Tollefson">Tollefson</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/tags/animals">animals</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/tags/drugs">drugs</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/tags/health">health</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/tags/health">health</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/tags/microbes">microbes</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/tags/microbes">microbes</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/tags/microbeworld">microbeworld</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/tags/microbeworld">microbeworld</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/tags/microbiology">microbiology</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/tags/microbiology">microbiology</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/tags/museum">museum</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/tags/museum">museum</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/tags/resistance">resistance</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/tags/resistance">resistance</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/tags/science">science</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/tags/science">science</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/tags/society">society</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/tags/society">society</a></p> http://www.viddler.com/explore/csuspect/videos/32/ csuspect ASM American Antibiotics Koshland Koshland Levy Levy Linda Linda Stuart Stuart Tollefson Tollefson animals drugs health health microbes microbes microbeworld microbeworld microbiology microbiology museum museum resistance resistance science science society society csuspect Antibiotics - Is a Strong Offense the Best Defense?

Whatever you call him, Carl Winter, Extension Food Toxicologist and Director of the FoodSafe Program at UC Davis, performs parodies of contemporary popular music by modifying lyrics to address food safety issues such as bacterial contamination, irradiation, biotechnology, government regulation, and pesticides. The goal of his songs is to provide science-based food safety information in a fun, accessible way. Thanks to a grant from the USDA, Dr. Winter is now studying how to integrate his music into traditional food safety education programs. Dr. Winter's music goes beyond simply educating those who work with food and in this video he shares some of his tips to empower the everyday consumer looking to prevent the spread of foodborne illness.

MWV19" border="0" /></a></p> MicrobeWorld Video 19 - West Nile Virus West Nile virus entered the United States in 1999 and is now considered a seasonal epidemic that starts in the summer and continues into the fall. First isolated in Uganda in 1937, the virus can cause severe human meningitis or encephalitis in 1% of those infected. In 2007 the U.S. Centers for Disease Control reported 124 fatalities. The rapid spread of West Nile virus has put local and state mosquito surveillance programs on the front line of public health and disease preparedness. In this episode, MicrobeWorld Video interviews Dr. Jorge Arias, an expert in vector-borne diseases of the Americas. Arias currently serves as the Environmental Health Supervisor of the Fairfax County Health Department in Northern Virginia. In this role, he is responsible for directing the Disease-Carrying Insects Program which focuses on West Nile virus and Lyme disease.

drama produced by Toronto's Shaftesbury Films that centers on the fictitious North American Biotechnology Advisory Commission. NorBAC's special operations team, headed by the brilliant but unpredictable Molecular Biologist Dr. David Sandstrm (Peter Outerbridge) and supported by a cast of forensic specialists and CIA operatives, investigates new strains of disease, genetically modified bacteria, and potential bioterror threats or agents. In essence, the show is about microbial forensics and the lives of the people who work in and around the lab. ReGenesis is also one of the first dramas to feature full media convergence and was recently awarded with the 2007 International Emmy in the Interactive Program category and the 2006 Gemini Award for Best Cross Platform Project. Visitors to the website can tour the NorBAC laboratory, partake in the laboratory's problem solving, and get insight into each episode's health and science issues by getting the "Facts Behind the Fiction" and ""Science and Society" fact sheets, where episodic drama is analyzed by leading scientists compliments of the Ontario Genomics Institute. The series will launch in the US this September and can be seen on television stations affiliated with ABC, Belo, CBS, Granite, Fox, Hearst, LIN TV, and the Tribune and Young group. ReGenesis is set to become the first complete, original HDTV series offered for weekend syndication.
