ROAR Ep11 - What if Genetic Engineering was a Black Mirror Episode?
<p>Genetic engineering has been making its way into pop culture for decades. Whether it’s glorified or heavily condemned, genetic engineering is just one of those things that will continue to manifest in the modern world. In this episode of ROAR we look into where it all started, where we’re at now and what advancements in this field can mean for our future. Can we come up with the ultimate apex predator (yes Jurassic World I’m talkin’ to you)? What about a chilling Black Mirror episode? Tune in to our final episode of 2020 to find out what we come up with. --- EXTRAS --- > History of Genetic Engineering: <a href="https://www.synthego.com/learn/genome-engineering-history">https://www.synthego.com/learn/genome-engineering-history</a>, Kurzgesagt: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAhjPd4uNFY">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAhjPd4uNFY</a>, Sketchers: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LgtWlIQ9MM8&feature=youtu.be">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LgtWlIQ9MM8&feature=youtu.be</a>, GloFish: <a href="https://www.glofish.com/learning-center/get-educated.aspx">https://www.glofish.com/learning-center/get-educated.aspx</a></p> <p>...</p> <p>Timestamps:</p> <p>6:25 - What is genetic engineering?,<br> 7:33 - History of genetic engineering,<br> 17:49 - GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms – Food),<br> 22:52 - Types of cloning in animals,<br> 26:41 - What has been cloned already?,<br> 29:13 - Bringing back extinct animals,<br> 37:20 - Flaws with cloning,<br> 39:34 - Gene editing in humans/CRISPR,<br> 43:40 - Designer babies & CRISPR challenges,<br> 46:27 - Cryonics,<br> 51:02 - Artificial intelligence,<br> 58:26 - Our apex animals,<br> 1:08:56 - If genetic engineering was a black mirror episode</p>

ROAR Ep10 - The Strange & Unusual: Food Edition
<p>Remember that time you came across a delicacy from somewhere else in the world that made you raise an eyebrow at either what it was or the dent it would put in your wallet? The world of food is vast and it is crazy. Forget your fried chicken and hot dogs and say hello to bird's nest soup and fermented shark. No matter how foreign some of these things might be to us, there is always a story behind how these foods came to be and why. In this episode of ROAR we delve into the world of funky, fermented foods that tickle our pickle as well as the unique and questionably expensive foods that strain our brain. <strong>Bon appétit!</strong></p>

ROAR Ep9 - Religion Killed the Pyramids.
<p>Ok so maybe it didn’t but we have a theory that might not be too crazy. The mystery of the pyramids has plagued us modern folk for decades, how could the Ancient Egyptians build such grand yet intricate structures? Our journey to understanding the pyramids actually led us to question the way we think about ourselves and others. How did we end up here? What role do aliens have in this? Why the hell do people think digging up GRAVES of ancient civilizations is justified?! Let’s talk about it. --- EXTRAS --> Ancient Aliens Season 3 Episode 6: Aliens and Ancient Engineers, Anthropocentrism Reddit Post: <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/explainlikeimfive/comments/arq5al/eli5_what_is_actually_so_amazing_about_the/">https://www.reddit.com/r/explainlikeimfive/comments/arq5al/eli5_what_is_actually_so_amazing_about_the/</a></p>
