Where we began, they will accomplish. We went to the foster home and went in. All right, I'll get in the water." SAM KEAN: You feel kind of hemmed in by what your grandfather did? A given episode might whirl you through science, legal history, and into the home of. This assignment is from the free science education website Science Prof Online(ScienceProfOnline.com). PAT: Which I find kind of hard to believe but, then again, I must have read at least 100 news articles as I was reporting this story. But it failed. After I've gotten to know so many of the women. That's a lot of people. BARBARA HARRIS: With a child, they give you a whole folder full of information, tells you all about them. So much can happen after that. ROBERT: So, of course the folks at the Vivarium asked him. And they had more. And that's when things would start to get out of control. Who now works at Columbia University. I think that's where Lamarck's ideas can be woven in and make some sense. That's the headline for his talk, and then CARL ZIMMER: Right below the headlines says, "Scientist's great discovery which may change us all.". [laughs] Can you say, "Never, ever?" And Destiny was in the other room, sleeping or something, I'm not sure. JAD: But according to Kammerer, here's what happened when he heated up the toads little cage. PAT: Yeah. But she says, you can tell right away, just by looking, that some rat moms don't lick their kids a lot. I mean, he hates water. You know? She's not offering treatment, she's not offering counseling, and there are programs that do that. What exactly happens between 9 to 12 that makes this big difference? ROBERT: What a name, you've got to like this guy. In this episode, originally aired in 2012, we put nature and nurture on a collision course and discover how outside forces can find a way inside us, and change not just our hearts and minds, but the basic biological blueprint that we pass on to future generations. PAT: But along with the support came attacks, particularly as drug-addicted women began to sign up. JAD: Plus, you know, Lamarck didn't get all the biological details right. He hit the lecture circuit and he hit it big. PAT: And she says, one day, this idea just came to her. You can't change your DNA. He stuffed himself silly; 9, 10, 11 years old, so he's a happy grandpa, you the grandson, you then would have. My mom needed a girl and, boop! They suddenly had to get by on a tiny fraction of the food that they were used to. I'm Sam Kean's dad. BARBARA HARRIS: Since birth. The lady knew why we were there. Tell me what your image of a drug-using pregnant woman is. You have to do that for five hours a day for six consecutive days. I know I've been joking a lot in this interview, but I mean it with all that I am. Life is hard.". JAD: How do these simple little traits get passed forward? And you have to bear in mind that at this point, it only had one hand left. BARBARA HARRIS: They were seven and eight at the time. ROBERT: You cant say that. I wouldn't want to put it up to chance, because what kind of life is that? [ARCHIVAL CLIP, Jad Abumrad: Do you see the owl?]. In this magazine article, Barbara even said, quote, "We don't allow dogs to breed. You're slippery, partner's slippery. SAM KEAN: This was a really, really big effect. ROBERT: Which, when you think about it, it has a very Lamarckian flavor. OLOV BYGREN: A lot of diagnoses actually. [chuckles], OLOV BYGREN: Yes, yes. I'm graduating in December. ], [ARCHIVAL CLIP, Jad Abumrad: How bout this one?]. Riksarkivet. ROBERT: Thats what Darwin says, you cant. Barbara says they've reached out to her many times but they never heard back. Basically, the midwife toad has a strange habit for toads. When Kammerer published his results initially, a bunch of scientists immediately began to say "Wait a minute, hold on here, it would be nice if life was like that but life isn't like that. Although, you know, sometimes that your grandfather's suffering helps you. ROBERT: Cause we were talking to science writer, Carl Zimmer, and he told us that back in the early 1900s, this tension between Lamarck and Darwin got extra tense. JAD: Famine again, and these changes would just bounce back and forth. Then World War One came and that disrupted everything. And in 1989, when the story we're telling now started, she was living in California, in Orange County. MICHAEL MEANEY: Yeah, you can't touch that. Researchers have found evidence of structural. So yeah, she keeps me busy. But she says, you can tell right away, just by looking, that some rat moms don't lick their kids a lot. PAT: In this magazine article, Barbara even said, quote, "We don't allow dogs to breed. So, somehow, by some chemical mechanism, starving grandpa, back when he was about 9 to 12 years old, turned out to be a good thing. And she told Barbara, "There's something you need to know about this baby.". It's just a mind crushing tedium. I don't know where she gets that from. BARBARA HARRIS: I mean, I'm married to a Black man. Destiny says one day, she and her mom were in the car, and her mom said She said, "I don't know, you know, maybe they'll grow bigger? He's the guy who told us about Olov's work. CARL ZIMMER: She is nine. PAT: Have you ever had someone call or write you and say that they regret their decision? I wont say too much more except it includes one of my favorite kind of scientific parables that like Ive ever heard. BARBARA HARRIS: I was just pissed at what they have done to my children. You must have internet access to do this). Its gonna get messy. They willed the neck to get longer, the muscles to get bigger. Because while you might have a lot of influence, you know, genetically speaking, over your kids and their kids, you don't seem to have a lot of control. And, I mean, I have straight A's and I'm making it work. You can't see that on the radio but, hey, it's a fact of life. Kammerer, for one, was sent off to work as a sensor for the Austrian military. Well, he thought it might have been an assistant trying to frame him because he was Jewish. I think what's weird here is that is that we started trying to make a difference in our children and now we're surprise attacked by our grandparents. Okay, you want to say bye? LULU: Oh actually, real thing, before we go, Latif. JAD: Well think about it, this is nature and nurture slamming into each other. PAT: She just knew, "This is my daughter.". We actually sent our friend, Pejk Malinovski, to the archives in Stockholm to check it out. CARL ZIMMER: mouse or rat? SAM KEAN: Well, he thought it might have been an assistant trying to frame him because he was Jewish. PAT: Did that scare you at all? JAD: Or did I somehow learn that? LYNN PALTROW: Well, her explanation is that these women are having, in her terms, litters of damaged babies and society forever will be responsible for them. She started to wish again that she could have a daughter. [WILL: Hi, this is Will, calling from Northumberland, England. Thyroid hormones then get into the brain and they turn on certain neural chemical signals. It might be a mixture. When you first hear about this, what goes through your mind? ROBERT: According to Darwin, life and changes are ruled by chance. That tongue is doing something to the DNA. So much can happen after that. PAT: For me, this whole story really shifted PAT: When I started spending some time with Destiny, Barbara's 22-year-old daughter. Accuracy and availability may vary. Its a terrible thought! And it just so happens this town is a perfect place to dig. I want to start with a parental day dream for a second. That's Sam Kean again. OLOV BYGREN: Methylations, phosphorylation, and so on. JAD: And I know I cant change those genes. Right away, people accused her of targeting women at their weakest moment and enabling their drug abuse. I just didnt think. Well think about it, this is nature and nurture slamming into each other. And as of 11:01 a.m. on Tuesday, when were recording this, we have not broken the show. Who are they? That is a bad way to start a kid's life but that's just the beginning of the kid's life. Maybe you can explain this to me, Robert. On the one hand, she says, immediately, cheques started arriving. If your grandpa didn't starve, instead he lived through great times. PAT: Over the past five years, if you look at our tax return. PAT: Filled with dozens of letters from women that she's paid. Also, thanks to Carl Zimmer whose latest is Evolution: Making Sense of Life. PAT: But she says she doesn't feel that way anymore. Who are you? I mean, they didn't have porridge. If you're a starving boy between 9 to 12 years old, now it doesn't matter a whole lot what happens to you after this, your grandchildren will have one-quarter the risk of heart disease. PEJK MALINOVSKI: This is the verkalix church parish record. He works at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden where he studies population data. Like, mine are bigger, you know." ], [ARCHIVAL Clip, Panel: What's the worst thing you have been called by one of your critics? He said, "If you were a boy, and you starve between the ages of 9 and 12, and then you went on to become a father, then a grandfather, your grandkids". That you can, somehow, by just being nice to them, reading them stories, or whatever, that you can somehow break them free of all that. I should add too. And I think that no, I didn't plan on it but I wouldn't take her back for anything because she made me better. Except he had one. And I think that no, I didn't plan on it but I wouldn't take her back for anything because she made me better. When rats have more of this protein, they will act more motherly. But I'm going to give them a basin of water. But according to Kammerer, shortly after these toads got into the water, they did begin to evolve fast. That, in a sort of ass backward way was Michael's question. And I packed up my stuff, it's pretty much done. And when methyl groups stick to that part of the DNA, the maternal instinct is effectively turned off. And they had more. You're finishing college, right? JAD: So this whole debate, two totally different ways of seeing life. JAD: These are four kids from the same birth mother? And one of them is called the thyroid system. [ARCHIVAL Clip, News: Barbara Harris says she's convinced more than a dozen women], [ARCHIVAL Clip, News: Have accepted her offer to be sterilized in return for money.]. The connection between trees Normally trees from different species are competitors. That doesn't matter. But in the middle of a conversation about how to fight the virus, we find a place impervious to the stalled plans and frenetic demands of the outside world. Inheritance Radiolab Podcast Genetics Homework Assignment Homework assignment on the Radiolab podcast 'Inheritance', developed for a college-level cell biology class. It takes a while. His reputation was that he could get inside the mind of, say, a salamander and know just what it wanted to eat. It's against the rules. ROBERT: Telling some genes to turn off now, other genes to turn on. Anyways, God bless you. They could eat twice, three times as much. ROBERT: So then the one that's in trouble, so thats one of one of eight? I initially felt very hopeful and excited about this research because it seems to suggest that a body, one body can respond to an environment and change and be flexible in a way we didn't think was possible. This lady right here is still taking drugs and she could be pregnant again next month.]. He actually coined the word biology, too. JAD: Hey, wait. He thought it worked with humans, too. We inherited this beloved show that we first fell in love with as listeners. If you have a starving daddy, it turns out that the baby actually gets some sort of health benefit. PAT: So by now it's 1994, and Barbara is thinking PAT: You know? So moms licking activates serotonin, and it's released onto brain cells in the hippocampus. Even though Destiny's mom was doing all sorts of drugs during her pregnancy and the doctors told Barbara that Destiny was going to be mentally and physically delayed Not feeling the way I'm supposed to feel. You're slippery, partner's slippery. They lived longer lives, something like 30 years on average. I don't think that puts me in the same category as Hitler. BARBARA HARRIS: That's how we ended up with four of them. And in1923, he actually comes to England. JAD: I dont know. That's really impressive. It might be a mixture. You know, you've got all these chemicals around. So that's fun. And so, you could only see one nuptial pad, and it all comes down to thisand all of that was just about to fall apart. Just sing. SAM KEAN: Basically, the midwife toad has a strange habit for toads. Yes, no, okay, move on to the next cage, yes, no? And all over the political spectrum, from Hollywood lefties to social conservatives. ", BARBARA HARRIS: And I called my husband again at work and said, "They want to know if we want to take the baby." ], [ARCHIVAL Clip, News: To any drug-addicted woman who will agree to have no more babies. I mean like, with the licking, is it a teaching thing where, you know, the babies become good mothers because FRANCES CHAMPAGNE: They've seen it and they've repeated the experience. I do mean that. That you can, somehow, by just being nice to them, reading them stories, or whatever, that you can somehow break them free of all that. ROBERT: And those lucky ones, according to Darwin's theory, they would have had to have been born with some random mutation in their genes SAM KEAN: That gave them an advantage in this situation. And at first, it didn't go so well because, you know, if you're a land toad and you're trying to have sex in the water, it's kind of hard. ROBERT: Because it's got the thing stuck to it? What does it look like? ], This could mean sterilization, it could mean getting an IUD.]. [ARCHIVAL CLIP, Jad Abumrad: Whats that called?]. SMITTY HARRIS: He was just You know, most babies are kinda peaceful, he was never really peaceful. And so, you could only see one nuptial pad, and it all comes down to thisand all of that was just about to fall apart. PAT WALTERS: Mamaw was the one I'd come to see. MICHAEL MEANEY: Mom's licking activates serotonin. Full transcript: Radiolab co-host Jad Abumrad on Recode Media The new season of More Perfect, a spinoff show from Radiolab, began airing Oct. 2. The results are obvious to you. You know, inside these cells, in the center, coiled up in little spools, is the DNA. As to diabetes, it was a four-fold risk. JAD: In any case, these books tell you when each of these folks died, how they died. And then that baby would stretch and stretch, and it would give a little more stretching to its baby. Started with the tongue. Yes. PAT: She actually emailed me afterwards and adjusted that number down a couple hundred. In my naive mind, I didn't have a clue what a big deal this was. And the incredible thing is, those marks stick around. Yes, she has the same name as me. DESTINY HARRIS: And that could have very easily have been one of us. Oh, that's a lot of potatoes. Were just talking about toad, I thought. This great. I think all parents do this, is that you slip into this Lamarckian delusion that What you do with your kids can somehow rewrite all of that. Radiolab is a radio program broadcast on public radio stations in the United States, and a podcast available internationally, both produced by WNYC.Hosted by Jad Abumrad, Latif Nasser and Lulu Miller, each episode focuses on a topic of a scientific and philosophical nature, through stories, interviews, and thought experiments.. I got these genes from somewhere, but I kind of feel like she was a surrogate, like she carried me for my real mom. I didn't see them as people. Your support helps Radiolab continue to provoke, delight, and keep audiences curious. In pictures, he has that, you know, that crazy Einstein fuzzy hair thing. like they could be whistling six tables over in a restaurant and he would turn around and be like, "Stop that," it was like it was scraping his very nerves. Were there any consequences? So then over the next 70 some odd years, Lamarck basically became the poster boy for, like, the big dumb idea, the idea that you want to believe in but that you know isn't true. PAT: If Barbara had gotten to Destiny's birth mom, Destiny, Kalia, this moment, none of it would exist. Sat her on my lap, with her little dress on and her little curly hair. Taylor Swift's Never Getting Back Together. Well, I guess I was thinking we could just start at the beginning. From pneumonia. ROBERT: That's interesting. Just sing. And he said, "Barbara, I'm not buying a school bus." So, the thought is, when those little boys in verkalix were really, really hungry, their hunger started a chemical process that reached all the way down to the DNA inside the boy's sperm. So thats the reason, of course, that we work with rats because we can get inside the brain. DESTINY HARRIS: Not been born at all. The neural chemical signal that gets activated during licking, is serotonin. PAT: Nobody's arguing that women should do drugs when they're pregnant. JAD: Well, its offensive. ROBERT: That's Sam Kean again. I wont say too much more except it includes one of my favorite kind of scientific parables that like Ive ever heard. BARBARA HARRIS: And I was a waitress, I worked for IHOP for over 30 years. Oh actually, real thing, before we go, Latif. I ended up finding myself really conflicted about it. Sample Page; ; With a child, they give you a whole folder full of information, tells you all about them. This is Radiolab. Yes, he was retarded. All right, I'll get in the water." Were just talking about toad, I thought. You got to help boost if you had a starving grandfather. Baby, be careful. She and I snuck away from the children into her office. You are not God. Because we had already had to upgrade from a car to a van, from a condo to a home. His example with humans was a blacksmith. In this episode, originally aired in 2012, we put nature and nurture on a collision course and discover how outside forces can find a way inside us, and change not just our hearts and minds, but the basic biological blueprint that we pass on to future generations._Support Radiolab by becoming a member of The Lab today. JAD: So its like grandpa's struggle is jumping forward and giving me a leg up? We ended up talking to the guy who did the work. This whole toad thing, to the Darwinian faction, it didn't scan really. The little baby that we keep hearing in the background of everything. She's 22 now and she's never even met her birth mom. I mean, the idea that they could be constrained by their DNA, that maybe one of us gave them a bit of DNA thats gonna hold them back? The right hand had been cut off for microscopic slides. Like Id be like, Weve got the keys, were gonna trash the house., LATIF: Anyway, we think about that all the time and I was just talking to Lulu about that and she was just like, You know, theres a radiolab about this.. This is what's called the slow growth period. They like to hang out in the water and the females like to lay eggs in the water. PEJK MALINOVSKI: Okay, I'm here. OLOV BYGREN: Well, for cardiovascular disease JAD: Olov told us, take heart disease. And one of them is called the thyroid system. And the key point is that it wasnt something inborn in them. ROBERT: You wonder, where did that come from? JAD: Most toads, he says, love to stay in the water. We all know this, that there are cycles of abuse or whatever. But wouldnt it be nice if thats how it worked? I want her to be able to look back on her life one day, maybe when she's getting interviewed, I don't know, and be able to say that, "Yes, my mom was there for me 100% without a doubt." PAT: Because the truth is, you have no idea how these kids are going to turn out. ROBERT: I wonder. She asked my opinion and that's what I'm giving. LULU: And were trying to think about how do we keep it the same in a lot of ways, but also how do we let it grow into something beyond what it was originally built to be. MICHAEL MEANEY: Known as transcription factors. SAM KEAN: The sperm carries these marks to the next generation. You know, just take a little peek for themselves, and every time Kammerer said no, they were his specimens. Like, mine are bigger, you know." This is from 2002. He actually named his daughter Lacerta, which is a genus of lizard. Well, I guess I was thinking we could just start at the beginning. That was it. You know? On the Radiolab website they define the show as follows: "Radiolab is a show about curiosity. Catch up with new episodes and hear classics from our archive. I didn't see them as people. DESTINY HARRIS: My situation turned out positive. ROBERT: Because the Soviets, they believe in Karl Marx's idea that human beings were an improvable species, that if you can change the conditions around people, you change the people. She's 22 now and she's never even met her birth mom. You can imagine these toads are like, "Dammit, fine. I don't like to upset people. SAM KEAN: And his lab ended up getting destroyed. You can do this. Like have you ever had one of those moments where you suddenly are your dad and it catches you off guard? Like, "How did this happen? CARL ZIMMER: At this really marvelous place called the Vivarium. A lot of times that's not the case. CHARLOTTE ZIMMER: Hi, my name is Charlotte Zimmer. JAD: His reputation was that he could get inside the mind of, say, a salamander and know just what it wanted to eat. KARIN BORGKVIST LJUNG: Yes, he was retarded. CARL ZIMMER: You know, the fact is that taking care of animals, trying to keep them alive in a building is not an easy thing, especially if it's 1903. JAD: They suddenly had to get by on a tiny fraction of the food that they were used to. SAM KEAN: And so, they just had to hold on for the entire winter. SAM KEAN: In a little community called verkalix. PAT: This great. PAT: That's really impressive. You just haven't evolved for this and there's no way you can, at least not quickly. FRANCES CHAMPAGNE: I mean, when you think of Kammerer, there was a report in science outlining a theory about how Kammerer's toads got these characteristics FRANCES CHAMPAGNE: that invoked these epigenetic inheritance and imprinted genes and it made it plausible. LATIF: Its so good that it makes you not want to trash the house, you know what I mean? My mom needed a girl and, boop! Because the Soviets, they believe in Karl Marx's idea that human beings were an improvable species, that if you can change the conditions around people, you change the people. His big idea, as you might know, is that what a person does in their lifetime could be directly passed to their kids. FRANCES CHAMPAGNE: This is real physical-chemical interaction between what's going on in the environment and what's going on with the DNA. JAD: Wait, when you say they can choose to be sterilized, you mean permanent? PAT'S MOM: Radiolab is produced by Jad Abumrad. Where we sought, they will find. It happens. But I take it that we have more control over our destinies and our kids' destinies than we would've thought. Test the outer edges of what you think you know. This text may not be in its final form and may be updated or revised in the future. Enhancing public understanding of science and technology Yeah, we're exploring questions of lwhat can you pass down to your kids and their kids? CARL ZIMMER: And when it came time to mate, the males and the females, they would mate in the water. I'm trying to remember. And Barbara and Destiny walked me out to my car. So Barbara and her son got in the car and drove across town to the foster home where Destiny had been living for the past eight months. So were getting close to the moment of truth, because there it is. He's not even eating at all. How much of you will echo into the future and how much of you won't? They began to grow these all puffy things on their hands. If you start smoking when you're 10, 11 something like that, you end up having children with more problems. SAM KEAN: What's happening during this time is that you're setting aside the stock of cells that you're going to draw on in the future to make sperm cells. Well, that's the good news, but unfortunately there is some bad news here. Like, I mean, as far as positives can go, I think I hit the jackpot. This is spooky because it's like JAD: It means what if grandpa has a bad day? It's only the mechanisms are not so clear. We had an expression here, "Dig where you stand." He was just You know, most babies are kinda peaceful, he was never really peaceful. PAT: And in 1989, when the story we're telling now started, she was living in California, in Orange County. I had a little basketball for her. JEAN KEAN: My name is Jean Kean. Nobody has a right to do that to a baby. SAM KEAN: And he would basically turn the heat way, way up in these aquariums until they had to go underwater. Listen Feb 10, 2023 Bliss When did you last shout from happiness? LULU: So far. SAM KEAN: I guess the way I would look at it is that you can change your environment a lot more easily than you can change your genes. I mean, for one thing, Barbara's white and Destiny's black. JAD: And I know fate is gonna give them a couple random mutations in those genes. And youre saying that part of the DNA is covered up? And since Kammerer kept the heat up, toads basically had to stay there, in this watery place that they had not evolved for. JAD: And what about the four kids that weren't raised with Barbara? At this really marvelous place called the Vivarium. Knock it right off the DNA. OLOV BYGREN: Looking for patterns in cardiovascular diseases, high blood pressure, and such. Radiolab is a radio program produced by WNYC, a public radio station in New York City, and broadcast on public radio stations in the United States. ROBERT: Which turn out to be an interesting thing to look at it because the people in verkalix who were farming SAM KEAN: Trying to eke a living out of the soil. ROBERT: [laughs] We now know that thats not the case. But I'm going to give them a basin of water. The event that really sets this story in motion, the set of events, happened a few months after Barbara had brought Destiny home. Or is it? She was totally an oops kid. It's just a mind crushing tedium. ROBERT: Because there is more data, more information about the people of verkalix, going farther back into the past than you can find almost anywhere else on Earth. All the babies I had seen and all the people that have called me to tell me about their babies that were damaged. The kingdom archive. CARL ZIMMER: Well, it was a zoo where there was all sorts of experiments going on. More information about Sloan at. The bit of DNA that will give this baby when it grows up the instincts to be nice to its baby, and lick that baby. Okay, and then I just had to accept it. Jean Baptiste Lamarck was a pioneer in the .
