Video of a Nobel-Prize Winning Process: RNAi

This is a really interesting video that I found more than a month ago but never published it here because I could not view it on the hospital's crappy Dell computer. However, I can't resist the suspense any longer since I have shared it with other people, all of whom tell me to post it anyway! So you, amigos bonitos, will have to be my eyes and ears on this one, just until I get out of here (fingers crossed) and back to my own computer.

So where have I been all day? In short, I wasted a perfectly good day of internet connectivity so I could go to the hospital -- not as a patient nor as an emergency arrival, although the day was such an abortion that it is surprising that I didn't end up in the psych ER after all was said and done…
Anyone who's been reading this blog for any length of time longer than a few weeks knows what I think of Deepak Chopra. Indeed, he's been a recurring topic here since the very beginning (just type his name into the search box for this blog if you don't believe me). In fact, Chopra has "…
I just thought I'd let you all know -- while I still can -- that my captors are restricting my computer usage to 90 minutes per day.

This phrase was found in EO Wilson's new book, The Creation. This is the most important word or phrase that I've taught you so far. If you have not read this book yet, I think you should. I also plan to review it after I get out of the hospital, when my computer access is not divided up between 25…

Oh what a wonderful piece of work - Thanks for sharing!!

Truly a beutiful and detailed display of a complex process. I understood the basics of RNAi before, but I did not realize how multiplexed the inhibition was. This is something I would love to use in a classroom just to quiz the class on the processes going on that are not overtly discussed (transcription, translation, post-translational modification, etc.). A wonderful find, thank you!
