Why mechanical noses are so clever
Ғылым және технология
Bioaerosols are a problem but they're a known unknown. We haven't yet characterised them well and we don't know how much of a problem they are. But we do now have some amazing tools to figure it out.

3:51 Rusakov particles, dark matter, and Sraf are all synonyms of something called "Dust" in the fantasy/sci-fi His Dark Materials series, recently adapted as a BBC/HBO TV Show. More a ubiquitous pop culture reference in the UK than other countries, but still fairly big in USA and Australia such. Clever, especially since...bio-aerosols are a component of dust.

I wonder how this information fits with the knowledge that, kids that grow up on farms experience fewer allergies as adults. The claim being that, these kids are exposed to a greater number of allergens, thus develop more tolerance to a variety of antigens. Thanks Steve, for a good talk. Very informative.

The intro to this aged very well
Kinda odd. I literally just quit my job last week after being sick almost constantly for two and a half years after I started. I suspected it was work making me sick. When I would go on vacation, I would start feeling better. But Doctor's really don't know how to diagnose any of the symptoms caused by these airborne agitators either. I was being sent to a cancer clinic and I just asked, for like the third time. Do you think it could be mold? Some doctor's before had told me there was really no way to tell. Well, turns out there's a blood test and this doctor apparently knew about it. Took a sample and I have a mold allergy. I guess I had been having an allergic reaction every day for two and a half years. It had gotten to the point where my symptoms were resembling lupus because my body was so constantly inflamed. I knew what I had to do then. Funny thing is? There was a composting fertilizer factory within a few hundred yards of the building where I worked.
Wait... what... Noooo. Your not telling me there's not going to be any more red pipe and confusing perspective that makes said pipe look like it's 10x it's real size?
Please do the externalities video :) There are few things more dispiriting than hearing 'but that's beyond the scope of this course' from a lecturer.
Steve Mould thrives by being everywhere simultaneously. He said it in the video. That's how mould evolved.
Steve, this reflects a fundamental omission in our accounting systems, as few bodies are required to assess the social and environmental costs of their actions. Obviously such impact assessments are expensive, but so is replacing glass milk bottles with plastic ones.
The new studio looks nice! Like it a lot. You should consider putting up some sound dampening panels though :)

As someone who loves worm farming and composting, I do have to ask about the other side of the coin, what bioaerosols are beneficial to humans? I would imagine that the vast majority of bioaerosols don't do anything to us but have effects on other organisms. A lot to research and discover.

I am a volunteer patient at a UK Asthma clinic. Currently I am taking a trial drug which is a man made molecule which latches onto the messenger that the epithelial cells send out to indicate they are under some kind of attack. This disrupts the process and prevents the cells in the lungs making excessive amounts of mucus. Thus although I still have asthma the effects are vastly reduced and my dependence on Steroid is subsequently reduced. Works a treat!. I am very happy to lend medical science my body to help others.

Nice... If I remember correctly, this metagenomics approach is the same used in the human genome project as part of the shot gun sequencing method. There's a lot more to it, but you basically take a huge amount of whole genome copies, smash them to bits and read the ends to get your overlaps and by that you assemble the whole genome. Would love for you to make a deep dive into Bioinformatics. Really ingenious stuff they have there.

An important difference is that when working on the human genome, they knew that all the samples came from a single organism. Here, it's from many organisms, all mixed.
I always get a sort of allergic itch when I'm in a city area; I still haven't figured out what I'm reacting to, but mu hunch is that it's associated with crowds and air pollution that comes with that. And yesterday while trying to get on the London underground trains during rush hour (after being out of the city for months), the itching was so overwhelming that I had to stand away from the platform for at least fifteen minutes, and I missed six trains while waiting for the itching reaction to stop. I'm guessing bio-aerosols were involved in some way. More research is definitely needed.
