Oxford London Lecture 2011
The extraordinary recent advances in human genetics and their potential to improve healthcare, together with the challenges they bring for the individual and society, was the subject of the first ever Oxford London Lecture, given by Professor Peter Donnelly. The new annual lecture, held in association with the Financial Times, aims to connect a wide audience with research emerging from the University, showing how that research is immediately relevant to topics of significant public importance.
Zeitgeist Moving Forward – "It’s Genetic" Part 1
The film Zeitgeist Moving Forward tackles the myth of "it's genetic." Several experts come to the conclusion that while some people may have a predisposition in their genetic trades for violence or cancer, ultimately it is the environment that is the deciding factor. Speakers are Robert Sapolsky, Gabor Mate, Richard Wilkinson and James Giligan http://www.youtube.com http://www.thezeitgeistmovement.com http://www.thevenusproject.com

BBC Horizon 2010 Miracle Cure A Decade of the Human Genome ¦ 720p HD [1/4]
A decade ago, scientists announced that they had produced the first draft of the human genome, the 3.6 billion letters of our genetic code. It was seen as one of the greatest scientific achievements of our age, a breakthrough that would usher in a new age of medicine. A decade later, Horizon finds out how close we are to developing the life-changing treatments that were hoped for.
