Pioneering cell biologist Sir John Gurdon's ground-breaking studies in nuclear transplantation galvanized efforts to "clone" a mammal from an adult cell—a quest that in 1996 produced a healthy sheep named "Dolly." In this Hitchcock Lecture he explores the potential of stem cells. Series: UC Berkeley Graduate Council Lectures [8/2006] [Science] [Show ID: 11507]

Everyone contributes to carbon dioxide emissions, but some more than others. Reducing global CO2 emissions requires that we have a good understanding of the current picture. Serious progress can be made if we develop a renewable source of electricity that is cheaper than coal.

A new, high resolution, interactive map of United States carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels has found that the emissions aren't all where we thought. The maps and system, called Vulcan, show CO2 emissions at more than 100 times more detail than was available before. Until now, data on carbon dioxide emissions were reported, in the best cases, monthly at the level of an entire state grid. The Vulcan model examines CO2 emissions at local levels on an hourly basis. Purdue researchers say the maps are a

Hybrid-How it works

Dr Ben McNeil, Senior Fellow, Climate Change Research Centre of University of New South Wales, discusses the cause and effect of global warming, the rate of climate change, the ratification of the Kyoto Protocol by the Rudd government, the importance of emissions trading to climate change reduction, and how that squares with the efforts to ramp up coal sales to China.

He is speaking at Informa's Emissions Trading conference in Sydney on the 29th and 30th of May.
