Pulp nonfiction: The story of paper and why it still matters

Season 13 · Episode 2

Tuesday, December 2, 2025 • Duration 17:23

With biosolutions taking the center stage, it’s the story of how an industry once defined by heavy machinery and chemical use began learning from the lightest touch in nature.

From its first known sheets in China, paper has played an indispensable role in human life, and for almost 1,800 years, the possible environmental and health impacts of its production went largely unnoticed.

You’re Never Alone, There’s a World Within You

Season 8 · Episode 1

Thursday, February 6, 2025 • Duration 22:45

Would you believe that tiny organisms inside your body influence how well you sleep, the state of your mental health, your immunity, and even your overall physical well-being?

No, we’re not talking about miniature aliens sitting in you and orchestrating your life like a sci-fi thriller — this isn’t Men in Black! Instead, we’re referring to the bacteria, fungi, viruses, and other microbes that call your body home.

Discover the world within you.

How biology can make textile production more sustainable

Season 7 · Episode 1

Monday, December 30, 2024 • Duration 21:35

We all want future generations to inherit a planet with clean water and a healthy environment. But have you noticed how, despite our best intentions, the Earth is showing signs of wear and tear?

It’s becoming clear that we need to take corrective steps fast - across the board.

Have you ever thought about how your clothes could be impacting the environment? The jeans you live in, the hoodie that’s your go-to, even that suit you wear to work – many of them start with natural fibers like cotton. But despite the natural origin, harsh chemicals are deeply embedded in the textile industry's value chain from the very start of the process through to the finished product.

Learn how biology can make textile production more sustainable.

Soil's Secret Helpers: Harnessing the Microbial Power in Agriculture

Monday, October 21, 2024 • Duration 12:53

Imagine you’re visiting a carrot farm. Your friend, the farmer, hands you a freshly pulled carrot to munch on. Would you eat it without washing it? Probably not! You would first wash it, worried about germs from the soil clinging to it.

And those concerns are valid. Studies show that just one gram of soil from the rhizosphere—the space around plant roots—can contain up to one billion bacteria. This region is bustling with countless other microbes too, including tiny worms called nematodes, fungi, algae, viruses, and parasites.

While we try to avoid these microbes, plants actually depend on them for their survival. In fact, without these microscopic helpers, plants as we know them wouldn’t even exist.

Scientists have been exploring the world of microbes for over four centuries, starting with Antonie van Leeuwenhoek in the late 17th century, who crafted microscopes to examine various materials, including soil. He discovered tiny living organisms and called them "animalcules" long before "microbe" was even in use.

This is where our journey begins—at the fascinating intersection of microbiology, soil science, plants, and agriculture. We'll explore the vital roles that soil microbes play in the life of plants and how this knowledge has transformed agriculture.

Making the Soil Work To Feed 10 Billion by 2050

Season 6 · Episode 1

Monday, October 21, 2024 • Duration 20:45

The global population is projected to soar to about 10 billion people by 20501, posing a significant challenge: how do we farm enough food to feed everyone? This challenge is compounded by the impacts of climate change on agriculture, requiring solutions that not only boost food production but also protect the environment and lessen the burden on our planet.

Is there a solution that can help solve this complexity? Surprisingly, yes – it lies in the bacteria and fungi living in the soil. These tiny organisms are already making agricultural practices more environmentally friendly and helping farmers increase their crop yields.

Crude to cultivated: Biorefineries use biosolutions to replace oil

Season 5 · Episode 2

Monday, September 16, 2024 • Duration 23:36

In the ubiquitous world of modern resources, crude oil—often simply called "oil"—is a fundamental element of our daily lives, even if we don't always recognize its pervasive influence. But there’s a catch: while oil has been the engine of our modern world, it has become a serious concern for causing irreparable damage to the environment, including being a leading cause of climate change. It has become imperative that we reduce our dependence on oil and find better alternatives.

A key to a shift away from oil lies in something called biorefineries, which leverage the power of enzymes derived from microbes – like bacteria and fungi – to transform plants into useful products.

Join us as we delve into the expansive impact of crude oil, exploring not only its role as a critical fuel source but also its contribution to a wide array of products we depend on – and how biorefineries can help make the shift away from it.

Yeast, our best friend, ancestor and savior

Season 5 · Episode 1

Monday, September 16, 2024 • Duration 23:25

In the fascinating domain of human companionship, the phrase "a human’s best friend" often conjures images of our loyal furry companions—dogs! However, there's a surprising twist to this age-old bond: another living organism was domesticated by humans long before wild wolves evolved into our beloved pooches.

Join us as we uncover the intriguing history of yeast, the same microorganism you use for baking bread, and explore its essential role in human civilization through the ages.

What plants can teach us

Season 4 · Episode 1

Wednesday, July 31, 2024 • Duration 22:17

Humans, plants, and animals share a genetic kinship through the fundamental building blocks of life. This interconnectedness provides a foundation for inspiring sustainable biology-based solutions in industrial manufacturing by drawing upon the intricate biological processes and adaptability found in nature.

In this article, we explore how understanding and harnessing the genetic similarities and evolutionary relationships between these organisms can help us develop innovative, sustainable approaches to manufacturing that align with the resilience and efficiency seen in natural systems.
