22 JUN. 2023 · Ancient DNA could provide the clues to terrestrial pathways of evolution. In this episode Professor Alex Greenwood discusses the latest pieces of the large genetic puzzle.
Alex D. Greenwood is Head of the Department of Wildlife Diseases at the Leibniz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Research and Professor of Wildlife Diseases at the Freie Universität Berlin in the Department of Veterinary Medicine in Germany. Prof. Greenwood’s group is active in evolutionary virology focusing on retroviruses and herpesviruses. He is investigating how herpesviruses spread in the environment and from one species to another. He has a long standing interest in evolutionary mechanisms underlying retroviral colonization of vertebrate genomes and applies ancient DNA methods, in some cases, to gain insights into the process. His group recently characterized several retroviral groups from polar bears while investigating the cause of death of the world famous polar bear, Knut of the Berlin Zoological Garden. In the process he and his colleagues determined that Knut suffered from encephalitis caused by an autoimmune disease that previously had only been diagnosed in humans.

22 JUN. 2023 · Dinosaur locomotion utilises the fragments of paleontological finds to piece together the mysteries of movement taken by these gigantic lizards. Professor John Hutchinson is a leading expert in the biomechanics and locomotion of large terrestrial creatures.
John regularly participates in science communication events worldwide, both in person and via the internet. His research has been featured in over 500 online/print news stories since 2002, and his team's work has appeared in 14 major TV documentaries including the BAFTA award-winning original "Inside Nature's Giants" programme, the 2015 hit "T. rex Autopsy" and the 2016 smash "Attenborough and the Giant Dinosaur". He was the 2012 winner of the British Science Festival's Charles Darwin Award. John also actively communicates science via social networking such as his personal Twitter account.
John runs a science-related personal blog, too: What's In John's Freezer? And his team has an anatomy blog/social media accounts for general audiences “Anatomy to You”: http://anatomytoyou.com/, Twitter @AnatomyToYou (started in 2016).
