Pop quiz slash fun
facts how about that?

00:41.730 --> 00:44.980 align:start
Okay, so in the Library of
Congress we have millions

and we're going to show you some

01:40.030 --> 01:43.310 align:start
of it as we talk
to some scientists

So I am really happy
to introduce you guys

01:49.560 --> 01:52.740 align:start
to two scientists and
the first one is going

01:52.740 --> 01:55.690 align:start
to speak first Dr.
Svetlana Kotliarova.

01:55.690 --> 02:01.600 align:start
She got her PhD in human
genetics from Tokyo University

02:01.600 --> 02:04.950 align:start
and now she is a scientific
review officer at NIH.

02:04.950 --> 02:07.150 align:start
Have you guys heard
of NIH before?

02:07.150 --> 02:11.220 align:start
It stands for National
Institutes of Health.

02:11.220 --> 02:13.220 align:start
And she'll tell you a little
bit more about what kind

02:13.220 --> 02:16.980 align:start
of work she does there and
how she got where she is now

02:16.980 --> 02:18.430 align:start
and what kind of work
she's doing there.

02:18.430 --> 02:20.510 align:start
So how about we welcome Dr. K.

[ Applause ]

02:25.290 --> 02:26.590 align:start
>> Dr. Svetlana Kotliarova:
Thank you very much

02:26.590 --> 02:31.590 align:start
for inviting me today and thank
you Sasha for introduction.

02:31.590 --> 02:33.960 align:start
So it's a great honor to be here

02:33.960 --> 02:37.820 align:start
and to speak with
you, our future.

02:37.820 --> 02:45.420 align:start
So and I hope that I will
infuse some excitement

02:45.420 --> 02:47.800 align:start
into you about science.

02:47.800 --> 02:51.870 align:start
So everyone has science class?

02:51.870 --> 02:53.170 align:start
>> Yes.

02:53.170 --> 02:54.470 align:start
>> Dr. Svetlana Kotliarova:
Yeah.

02:54.470 --> 02:56.240 align:start
So you like science?

02:56.240 --> 03:02.210 align:start
That's great, that's great,
so half of the job is done.

03:02.210 --> 03:15.050 align:start
Actually I forgot I wanted to
start with saying good morning.

03:15.050 --> 03:16.940 align:start
>> Good morning.

03:16.940 --> 03:18.860 align:start
>> Dr. Svetlana Kotliarova:
[Foreign language].

03:18.860 --> 03:25.230 align:start
This is good morning in Russian.

03:25.230 --> 03:31.390 align:start
And as you already figured
out I came from Russia.

03:31.390 --> 03:37.620 align:start
So I was born in the Ural
Mountains in the like kind

03:37.620 --> 03:43.910 align:start
of central or closer to
Moscow side of Russia.

03:43.910 --> 03:51.540 align:start
And everyone heard about
Moscow, but maybe not so much

03:51.540 --> 03:56.220 align:start
about Russia so I show you
something about my hometown.

03:56.220 --> 04:04.370 align:start
So the city of Ufa is in the
mountains, Ural Mountains

04:04.370 --> 04:11.000 align:start
and we have a lot
of nice nature,

04:11.000 --> 04:16.950 align:start
a lot of nice pictures you
can take there if you ever go.

04:16.950 --> 04:22.790 align:start
And this inspired
me to learn more

04:22.790 --> 04:27.640 align:start
about living things,
about life science.

04:27.640 --> 04:35.880 align:start
And this is a monument very
famous, it's the national hero

04:35.880 --> 04:38.840 align:start
of Bashkir people,
so Ufa is capital

04:38.840 --> 04:43.080 align:start
of Bashkir Republic
inside of Russia.

04:43.080 --> 04:49.080 align:start
And Bashkir about 30%
people who live there.

04:49.080 --> 04:54.080 align:start
And they have their
special national clothing.

04:54.080 --> 04:59.020 align:start
And this is how it
maybe looks now snow,

04:59.020 --> 05:05.420 align:start
there is still snow there.

05:05.420 --> 05:09.430 align:start
So these are some
pictures from my childhood.

05:09.430 --> 05:13.610 align:start
So this is our very modest

05:13.610 --> 05:18.450 align:start
and old apartment building,
this is where I grew.

05:18.450 --> 05:25.000 align:start
And this is my baby sister and
maybe you figure this is me.

05:25.000 --> 05:27.230 align:start
So how old are you guys?

05:27.230 --> 05:28.530 align:start
>> Twelve.

05:28.530 --> 05:29.880 align:start
>> Dr. Svetlana Kotliarova:
Twelve, this is about me,

05:29.880 --> 05:32.270 align:start
this is me at your age.

05:32.270 --> 05:34.690 align:start
So and this is I'm
wearing one of my dresses,

05:34.690 --> 05:40.420 align:start
I have two dresses, one
was [inaudible] to wash

05:40.420 --> 05:43.330 align:start
and another I was wearing.

05:43.330 --> 05:47.510 align:start
And this is my school, I
liked school very much.

05:47.510 --> 05:52.540 align:start
I went there to meet my
friends and grade teachers

05:52.540 --> 05:55.730 align:start
who inspired me and who
teach me all the good things

05:55.730 --> 05:58.080 align:start
that I can use in my life.

05:58.080 --> 06:05.240 align:start
And I'm thankful for everyone
who taught me all of this.

06:05.240 --> 06:10.900 align:start
And this is me helping my mom
after school drying clothes.

06:10.900 --> 06:14.970 align:start
So we didn't have a dryer,
so actually it's not,

06:14.970 --> 06:17.970 align:start
it wasn't a cultural
thing in Russia

06:17.970 --> 06:21.480 align:start
and maybe now some
people will have it.

06:21.480 --> 06:26.230 align:start
And we always just
dry them outside.

06:26.230 --> 06:33.490 align:start
So why I'm telling you all
this because regardless

06:33.490 --> 06:36.020 align:start
of your background
where you were born

06:36.020 --> 06:41.070 align:start
if you have your dream
you'll follow your dream

06:41.070 --> 06:47.160 align:start
and you will do something that
you couldn't even imagine.

06:47.160 --> 06:51.670 align:start
So for example my parents
were very much insisting

06:51.670 --> 06:56.280 align:start
on good education, they were
born before the World War II

06:56.280 --> 06:59.560 align:start
and they didn't have higher
education, but they wanted

06:59.560 --> 07:01.550 align:start
for their kids to have it.

07:01.550 --> 07:05.350 align:start
And they put us into school

07:05.350 --> 07:11.210 align:start
with special emphasis
on English language.

07:11.210 --> 07:14.630 align:start
But Russia was very close
country, I never saw any

07:14.630 --> 07:19.350 align:start
of my relatives or friends
going out to other countries

07:19.350 --> 07:23.490 align:start
and I was asking myself
why I'm learning English.

07:23.490 --> 07:26.690 align:start
But then standing in front

07:26.690 --> 07:30.790 align:start
of you today I would say
my parents were right,

07:30.790 --> 07:34.260 align:start
so they were enforcing
something on me

07:34.260 --> 07:36.520 align:start
that I maybe didn't understand

07:36.520 --> 07:40.120 align:start
but it helped me
through my life.

07:40.120 --> 07:48.130 align:start
So I suggest that you
listen to your parents.

07:48.130 --> 07:55.710 align:start
So I have a lot of
inspiration from my friends

07:55.710 --> 07:59.250 align:start
and teachers and support.

07:59.250 --> 08:04.820 align:start
This is what you seek when you
are going to pursue your dream.

08:04.820 --> 08:15.920 align:start
And so from Ufa having
interest in science and more

08:15.920 --> 08:19.790 align:start
in life sciences I
went to Novosibirsk,

08:19.790 --> 08:23.620 align:start
it's in Siberia maybe you've
heard it's very cold there

08:23.620 --> 08:28.730 align:start
but it can be also very warm, it
can be 100 degrees in summer so

08:28.730 --> 08:32.240 align:start
but it's dry, it
feels different.

08:32.240 --> 08:36.900 align:start
So I was studying there biology,

08:36.900 --> 08:39.550 align:start
molecular biology
and biochemistry.

08:39.550 --> 08:47.420 align:start
And then it happened so I met
my husband Dr. Yuri Kotliarov

08:47.420 --> 08:51.740 align:start
during my university years.

08:51.740 --> 08:58.190 align:start
And together with him we went
to University of Tokyo in Japan

08:58.190 --> 09:03.890 align:start
to study further and
to get our PhD degrees.

09:03.890 --> 09:07.050 align:start
And I worked in the
Brain Science Institute

09:07.050 --> 09:11.280 align:start
and I will show you
some brain cells later.

09:11.280 --> 09:16.010 align:start
And when we were in Japan we had
a chance to go to a conference

09:16.010 --> 09:21.340 align:start
to the United States and we were
so impressed by the scientists

09:21.340 --> 09:25.430 align:start
and by the opportunities
that are in this country

09:25.430 --> 09:35.070 align:start
for the research and we decided
to work in the United States.

09:35.070 --> 09:44.970 align:start
So we moved and it was almost
like around the world journey.

09:44.970 --> 09:50.720 align:start
So I'm talking that
I'm scientist,

09:50.720 --> 09:53.110 align:start
but what is really science?

09:53.110 --> 09:57.680 align:start
Can you guys say
something or write?

09:57.680 --> 10:02.640 align:start
>> I think science is something
that you can't explain,

10:02.640 --> 10:06.430 align:start
but then later on
you can explain it.

10:06.430 --> 10:07.730 align:start
>> Dr. Svetlana Kotliarova:

10:07.730 --> 10:09.540 align:start
To explain unexplained
that's very good.

10:09.540 --> 10:15.710 align:start
>> I think science is when
you like have questions

10:15.710 --> 10:19.300 align:start
about the world and
things that you find

10:19.300 --> 10:24.240 align:start
and then some stuff is
never answered or things

10:24.240 --> 10:26.250 align:start
that are very questionable.

10:26.250 --> 10:27.710 align:start
>> Dr. Svetlana Kotliarova:
That's very good.

10:27.710 --> 10:32.860 align:start
>> I think science is something
like a group of different things

10:32.860 --> 10:36.780 align:start
that have something to
do with like you wanted

10:36.780 --> 10:40.820 align:start
to study what was it again?

10:40.820 --> 10:42.930 align:start
>> Dr. Svetlana Kotliarova:
Molecular biology, biochemistry.

10:42.930 --> 10:46.640 align:start
>> Yes and you could,
it's also like astronomy.

10:46.640 --> 10:52.980 align:start
>> Dr. Svetlana Kotliarova:
Yes, that's right.

10:52.980 --> 10:54.280 align:start
>> And.

10:54.280 --> 10:56.060 align:start
>> Dr. Svetlana Kotliarova:
That's all great answers.

10:56.060 --> 11:00.590 align:start
Science is the way we learn
about the unknown things

11:00.590 --> 11:06.090 align:start
in the world and it also
includes all the knowledge

11:06.090 --> 11:10.380 align:start
gained through centuries
and generations --

11:10.380 --> 11:13.490 align:start
from generation to generation.

11:13.490 --> 11:17.860 align:start
And scientists are
using different tools.

11:17.860 --> 11:22.560 align:start
So here you see a
couple of tools already,

11:22.560 --> 11:26.520 align:start
so anymore tools
that, so what kind

11:26.520 --> 11:28.200 align:start
of tools do you think
scientists use,

11:28.200 --> 11:29.740 align:start
just give me a couple examples?

11:29.740 --> 11:31.540 align:start
Yes please.

11:31.540 --> 11:34.070 align:start
[ Inaudible ]

11:34.070 --> 11:37.240 align:start
How did you know I'm going
to speak about microscope,

11:37.240 --> 11:39.570 align:start
so you guessed it right?

11:39.570 --> 11:40.960 align:start
Yes.

11:40.960 --> 11:43.040 align:start
[ Inaudible ]

11:43.040 --> 11:44.340 align:start
Telescopes all right.

11:44.340 --> 11:48.010 align:start
So what are microscopes used
for to see what kind of things?

11:48.010 --> 11:49.310 align:start
[ Inaudible ]

11:49.310 --> 11:51.110 align:start

11:55.110 --> 11:56.870 align:start
Yes, that's right.

12:18.190 --> 12:19.490 align:start

12:19.490 --> 12:20.790 align:start
Yes.

12:20.790 --> 12:22.090 align:start
[ Inaudible ]

12:22.090 --> 12:27.230 align:start
Yes, yes to measure exact
and to mix things right.

12:27.230 --> 12:32.310 align:start
So and what do scientists
do, how does science work?

12:32.310 --> 12:35.870 align:start
So what does it start
from, like what?

12:35.870 --> 12:37.170 align:start
Yes.

12:37.170 --> 12:38.470 align:start
[ Inaudible ]

12:38.470 --> 12:40.900 align:start
Question or hypothesis exactly.

12:40.900 --> 12:43.690 align:start
And then we do what to
test the hypothesis?

12:43.690 --> 12:44.990 align:start
>> Experiments.

12:44.990 --> 12:46.290 align:start
>> Dr. Svetlana Kotliarova:
Experiments.

12:46.290 --> 12:48.740 align:start
And then we get something
results.

12:48.740 --> 12:54.400 align:start
Exactly. And then we
have to explain it,

12:54.400 --> 12:57.820 align:start
is it the result we expected
or is it something unexpected.

12:57.820 --> 13:01.670 align:start
Then what do we do?

13:01.670 --> 13:05.670 align:start
So a very important thing
is to get the resources

13:05.670 --> 13:08.190 align:start
to do all the experiments,
so you need funding

13:08.190 --> 13:13.240 align:start
and we will talk about
funding a little bit later.

13:13.240 --> 13:17.200 align:start
And before you start your
experiment do you want to know

13:17.200 --> 13:19.740 align:start
if this idea occurred to someone

13:19.740 --> 13:21.690 align:start
and someone already
resolved this?

13:21.690 --> 13:25.290 align:start
Do you want to invent
a new wheel or you want

13:25.290 --> 13:29.290 align:start
to use the invented wheel and
build the new more bigger?

13:29.290 --> 13:34.760 align:start
So you go to get more
information right

13:34.760 --> 13:37.100 align:start
and now we have all
the resources,

13:37.100 --> 13:41.900 align:start
we have the computer internet,

13:41.900 --> 13:45.880 align:start
we can check some ideas
and find information.

13:45.880 --> 13:50.490 align:start
Where else we go to get
information about ideas

13:50.490 --> 13:52.260 align:start
that you want to pursue?

13:52.260 --> 13:53.560 align:start
Yes.

13:53.560 --> 13:54.860 align:start
>> The library.

13:54.860 --> 13:56.160 align:start
>> Dr. Svetlana Kotliarova:
Of course

13:56.160 --> 14:00.150 align:start
and that's why we
are here right.

14:00.150 --> 14:03.110 align:start
And we talked about the
tools and [inaudible]

14:03.110 --> 14:07.660 align:start
from the first try that we are
talking about the microscope.

14:07.660 --> 14:13.270 align:start
So when does microscope,

14:13.270 --> 14:17.110 align:start
when did people start
thinking about microscope?

14:17.110 --> 14:18.800 align:start
Someone is thinking and sitting

14:18.800 --> 14:22.280 align:start
and saying oh I will
invent a microscope.

14:22.280 --> 14:29.280 align:start
No, so actually there
was no glass at first

14:29.280 --> 14:31.610 align:start
and glass was invented
and then they saw

14:31.610 --> 14:35.570 align:start
like if they put some glass
on some object they see

14:35.570 --> 14:37.680 align:start
that it is become bigger.

14:37.680 --> 14:44.170 align:start
And this was happening like
in the first century romans

14:44.170 --> 14:45.740 align:start
noticed that.

14:45.740 --> 14:52.850 align:start
And then one scientist
or some guy

14:52.850 --> 15:03.080 align:start
in Italy made the first
magnification eyeglass just

15:03.080 --> 15:10.960 align:start
for one eye to help
people to see.

15:10.960 --> 15:21.650 align:start
And after that two Dutch
spectacle makers made the first

15:21.650 --> 15:25.980 align:start
microscope which was a tube,
which was like consisted

15:25.980 --> 15:31.340 align:start
of three tubes that you
have to retract them.

15:31.340 --> 15:37.170 align:start
And the first microscope
that was used

15:37.170 --> 15:43.300 align:start
for many things was invented
again by a Dutcher draper

15:43.300 --> 15:46.720 align:start
and scientist Anton
van Leeuwenhoek.

15:46.720 --> 15:52.280 align:start
So probably you heard
his name because this is

15:52.280 --> 15:57.010 align:start
when the real microscopy
started and he was the first

15:57.010 --> 16:03.820 align:start
to see tiny creatures
under the microscope.

16:03.820 --> 16:11.250 align:start
And in 1665, Robert Hooke,
an English scientist,

16:11.250 --> 16:13.460 align:start
published his micrographia.

16:13.460 --> 16:19.690 align:start
The things that he observed
under the microscope

16:19.690 --> 16:22.480 align:start
and we will talk about
this in a second.

16:22.480 --> 16:26.680 align:start
So as you can see, there are
Romans, Italians, Dutch people,

16:26.680 --> 16:32.930 align:start
English scientists and
centuries So in time

16:32.930 --> 16:36.600 align:start
and space the microscope
invention was continuing,

16:36.600 --> 16:40.150 align:start
so this is how science works.

16:40.150 --> 16:45.970 align:start
It is and now it is
more like teamwork,

16:45.970 --> 16:54.480 align:start
people can move using planes
and helicopters you name it

16:54.480 --> 16:58.530 align:start
to different areas to
do research together.

16:58.530 --> 17:04.660 align:start
And if you choose to be a
scientist you could be also

17:04.660 --> 17:07.510 align:start
traveling a lot and.

17:07.510 --> 17:15.050 align:start
[ Inaudible ]

17:15.050 --> 17:20.280 align:start
Excavation or archeologists
yes, yes.

17:20.280 --> 17:25.820 align:start
So and as we spoke
about Robert Hooke,

17:25.820 --> 17:34.970 align:start
the Library of Congress has his
micrographia, so his drawing

17:34.970 --> 17:38.570 align:start
that he made looking
into the microscope.

17:38.570 --> 17:44.810 align:start
And this website actually
is a great resource both

17:44.810 --> 17:50.470 align:start
for the students and for the
teachers to get acquainted

17:50.470 --> 17:58.080 align:start
to know more about different
pieces, different information,

17:58.080 --> 18:00.160 align:start
different information

18:00.160 --> 18:05.420 align:start
on scientific discoveries,
and so on.

18:05.420 --> 18:12.840 align:start
And this is the micrographia
that Robert Hooke made.

18:12.840 --> 18:16.910 align:start
So what did he draw, what did
he look at the microscope?

18:16.910 --> 18:22.430 align:start
He look at the cork,
cork, cork on the trees,

18:22.430 --> 18:24.510 align:start
the cork like on the oak.

18:24.510 --> 18:27.040 align:start
[ Inaudible ]

18:27.040 --> 18:33.780 align:start
And he found some structures
he called them pores or cells

18:33.780 --> 18:39.070 align:start
and he called them cells because
he was thinking when looking

18:39.070 --> 18:42.820 align:start
at them that they reminded
him cells of a monastery

18:42.820 --> 18:48.250 align:start
where monks lived, like
tiny cells in a monastery.

18:48.250 --> 18:50.710 align:start
And guess what?

18:50.710 --> 18:54.370 align:start
He was the first person
whose named themselves,

18:54.370 --> 19:01.820 align:start
since then this units of
life are called cells.

19:01.820 --> 19:04.900 align:start
Actually he was seeing
the dead cells

19:04.900 --> 19:08.660 align:start
and the walls of the cells.

19:08.660 --> 19:13.380 align:start
And this is how cork cells
look under modern microscope,

19:13.380 --> 19:16.670 align:start
so he could draw very nicely.

19:16.670 --> 19:22.660 align:start
And this is the living cells
of onion under microscope.

19:22.660 --> 19:25.710 align:start
Maybe you will do or
already did this experiment

19:25.710 --> 19:30.600 align:start
in your school looking
at onions.

19:30.600 --> 19:35.460 align:start
And this is the first
microscope that was like a tube

19:35.460 --> 19:40.160 align:start
and Robert Hooke draw his
micrographia using this

19:40.160 --> 19:43.550 align:start
microscope which he invented too

19:43.550 --> 19:46.560 align:start
and this is how modern
microscope looks

19:46.560 --> 19:48.430 align:start
which you are familiar with.

19:48.430 --> 19:55.690 align:start
And these are some of my
data that were published

19:55.690 --> 20:03.090 align:start
about the brain tumor, so when
I did the brain cancer studies.

20:03.090 --> 20:07.400 align:start
So as you can see, the shape
of the cells is in green

20:07.400 --> 20:11.040 align:start
because there is protein
that is in the cell membrane

20:11.040 --> 20:13.180 align:start
which is called [inaudible]
and the nucleus

20:13.180 --> 20:18.120 align:start
which is stained in blue.

20:18.120 --> 20:25.090 align:start
So now I want to
tell you a little bit

20:25.090 --> 20:28.010 align:start
where scientists work.

20:28.010 --> 20:33.430 align:start
So it could be an academic
institution or university,

20:33.430 --> 20:35.170 align:start
industry and government.

20:35.170 --> 20:39.020 align:start
And I work in the
government organization,

20:39.020 --> 20:41.940 align:start
which is called National
Institutes of Health.

20:41.940 --> 20:44.820 align:start
This is one of the biggest
research institutions

20:44.820 --> 20:48.750 align:start
in the world and it's
right here in Bethesda.

20:48.750 --> 20:52.500 align:start
So it's just close to you
and you can be part of it

20:52.500 --> 20:54.680 align:start
and we'll talk about this later.

20:54.680 --> 21:02.200 align:start
So there are many achievements
that were done at NIH,

21:02.200 --> 21:09.640 align:start
National Institutes of
Health, everyone calls it NIH.

21:09.640 --> 21:13.400 align:start
And for example,
discovery of fluoride

21:13.400 --> 21:19.100 align:start
to prevent the tooth decay
or eradication of Ebola

21:19.100 --> 21:21.960 align:start
as you heard recently.

21:21.960 --> 21:30.240 align:start
And human genome was
also sequenced at NIH.

21:30.240 --> 21:35.610 align:start
So there are 27 institutes
and scientific centers at NIH

21:35.610 --> 21:39.710 align:start
and I work in the Center
for Scientific Review

21:39.710 --> 21:41.720 align:start
and what does it mean?

21:41.720 --> 21:44.740 align:start
We will know in a minute.

21:44.740 --> 21:50.260 align:start
So what do you think
about scientific review?

21:50.260 --> 21:57.860 align:start
So we were talking about
experiments, hypothesis

21:57.860 --> 22:00.840 align:start
and what do we do
with the results,

22:00.840 --> 22:08.580 align:start
and where does scientific
peer review have place.

22:08.580 --> 22:12.400 align:start
So there are five
options for you

22:12.400 --> 22:17.410 align:start
to guess what is scientific
review, what is NIH peer review?

22:17.410 --> 22:27.490 align:start
So but I warn you this
is a tricky question so.

22:27.490 --> 22:33.820 align:start
So who is for, do
you have any ideas?

22:33.820 --> 22:35.700 align:start
What is the idea?

22:35.700 --> 22:40.040 align:start
>> Two.

22:40.040 --> 22:41.340 align:start
>> Dr. Svetlana Kotliarova: Two,

22:41.340 --> 22:43.170 align:start
scientists meet together
to discuss science.

22:43.170 --> 22:45.200 align:start
>> None of them [inaudible].

22:45.200 --> 22:46.500 align:start
>> Dr. Svetlana Kotliarova:
Three,

22:46.500 --> 22:47.970 align:start
scientists review
scientific application

22:47.970 --> 22:49.520 align:start
from other scientists.

22:49.520 --> 22:52.560 align:start
Yeah, that's peer-to-peer
very good.

22:52.560 --> 22:57.000 align:start
But two was also correct
and one is correct

22:57.000 --> 22:59.480 align:start
because scientists
write application

22:59.480 --> 23:03.630 align:start
about their idea and
submit it to NIH.

23:03.630 --> 23:11.220 align:start
Also, when scientists meet
they evaluate the application,

23:11.220 --> 23:15.060 align:start
how interesting it is,
how it will improve,

23:15.060 --> 23:18.270 align:start
how it will advance
science further.

23:18.270 --> 23:22.830 align:start
And they will give it a
score, so four is correct too.

23:22.830 --> 23:27.980 align:start
And NIH is make sure that
this process is all fair

23:27.980 --> 23:31.020 align:start
and only experts
review the applications.

23:31.020 --> 23:37.570 align:start
And everything is done without
bias and in a timely manner.

23:37.570 --> 23:43.760 align:start
So going back to this schema,
so we were talking about funding

23:43.760 --> 23:46.440 align:start
and that we will
talk about it later.

23:46.440 --> 23:52.120 align:start
So and this is where the peer
review comes into the picture.

23:52.120 --> 23:57.390 align:start
How to distribute the funding,
government funding for research.

23:57.390 --> 24:03.220 align:start
So peer review makes sure
that the most advanced

24:03.220 --> 24:08.470 align:start
and important scientific
questions will be examined

24:08.470 --> 24:11.190 align:start
and this important
knowledge will be available

24:11.190 --> 24:20.260 align:start
for the whole population to
advance health of the population

24:20.260 --> 24:22.710 align:start
and the eradicate the disease.

24:22.710 --> 24:25.190 align:start
And we need to make sure

24:25.190 --> 24:33.080 align:start
that the best science
will be promoted.

24:33.080 --> 24:43.570 align:start
So I suggest that you experience
how peer review works just now

24:43.570 --> 24:47.570 align:start
by doing this small game.

24:47.570 --> 24:50.440 align:start
So we have three proposals

24:50.440 --> 24:55.100 align:start
that were submitted
from some scientists.

24:55.100 --> 24:58.510 align:start
And the first proposal
is smoking,

24:58.510 --> 25:00.880 align:start
is about smoking
and lung cancer.

25:00.880 --> 25:05.480 align:start
So the scientists want to know
how the cigarette smoking causes

25:05.480 --> 25:09.670 align:start
lung cancer and what
chemicals are responsible

25:09.670 --> 25:12.630 align:start
for damaging biological
molecules.

25:12.630 --> 25:17.590 align:start
So now you need to look at your
badge that you have and see

25:17.590 --> 25:22.250 align:start
if any one of you has expertise

25:22.250 --> 25:26.750 align:start
to be a reviewer for
this application.

25:26.750 --> 25:34.190 align:start
They will study chemicals
and biological molecules.

25:34.190 --> 25:39.610 align:start
So any molecular
biologists we have

25:39.610 --> 25:43.020 align:start
or any chemists,
what do you have?

25:43.020 --> 25:44.630 align:start
Molecular biology?

25:44.630 --> 25:47.390 align:start
Okay come here.

25:47.390 --> 25:50.090 align:start
Any lung cancer specialists?

25:50.090 --> 25:51.670 align:start
All right we have.

25:51.670 --> 25:53.170 align:start
>> At the back.

25:53.170 --> 25:56.920 align:start
>> One on the back.

25:56.920 --> 25:58.530 align:start
Yeah, come here.

25:58.530 --> 26:05.710 align:start
So and any chemists, chemistry
or general cancer research?

26:05.710 --> 26:12.320 align:start
We still have to have the third
person for this number one,

26:12.320 --> 26:16.460 align:start
any lung cancer, chemists,
molecular biologists

26:16.460 --> 26:18.510 align:start
or cancer, general cancer?

26:18.510 --> 26:22.140 align:start
[ Inaudible ]

26:22.140 --> 26:24.540 align:start
You, what do you have?

26:24.540 --> 26:25.840 align:start
>> Cancer research.

26:25.840 --> 26:27.140 align:start
>> Dr. Svetlana Kotliarova:
Okay come here.

26:27.140 --> 26:28.440 align:start
>> Cancer great.

26:28.440 --> 26:29.740 align:start
>> Dr. Svetlana Kotliarova:
Yeah.

26:29.740 --> 26:34.400 align:start
And we have proposal number two
about toothpaste and cavities.

26:34.400 --> 26:37.170 align:start
So the questions
that they will study,

26:37.170 --> 26:41.110 align:start
which of the three chemicals is
the best to protect your teeth?

26:41.110 --> 26:46.570 align:start
Is it sugar, is it -- it sounds
sweet right, it sounds good?

26:46.570 --> 26:49.490 align:start
Baking soda or fluoride?

26:49.490 --> 27:01.220 align:start
So we need some oral hygienists,
some dentists, dentist.

27:01.220 --> 27:04.240 align:start
>> I am dentistry so.

27:04.240 --> 27:05.790 align:start
>> Dr. Svetlana Kotliarova:
Dentistry perfect.

27:05.790 --> 27:08.090 align:start
Oral hygiene come here.

27:08.090 --> 27:13.400 align:start
And now again, some
chemical expertise,

27:13.400 --> 27:15.730 align:start
we are talking about chemicals.

27:15.730 --> 27:18.880 align:start
No, no chemists?

27:18.880 --> 27:20.210 align:start
Everyone is bacteria.

27:20.210 --> 27:21.590 align:start
So this is one that's for you.

27:21.590 --> 27:29.370 align:start
So someone need to
pretend to be chemist,

27:29.370 --> 27:37.190 align:start
so you want to be chemist?

27:37.190 --> 27:39.600 align:start
Okay, all right.

27:39.600 --> 27:44.820 align:start
And now the third proposal,

27:44.820 --> 27:47.860 align:start
how do bacteria protect
themselves from viruses?

27:47.860 --> 27:50.830 align:start
Do they synthesize
special molecules

27:50.830 --> 27:52.800 align:start
that help them to do so?

27:52.800 --> 27:57.010 align:start
So we have bacteriologists,
virologists right.

27:57.010 --> 28:05.090 align:start
So now we have all these
three different topics

28:05.090 --> 28:13.340 align:start
and we have, so okay.

28:13.340 --> 28:18.820 align:start
These stickers, so I give
everyone a sticker and please

28:18.820 --> 28:25.920 align:start
if you think that the
topic is important give it

28:25.920 --> 28:27.390 align:start
three stickers.

28:27.390 --> 28:31.220 align:start
If you think oh it
would be good to know

28:31.220 --> 28:35.020 align:start
but I'm not very excited
give it two stickers.

28:35.020 --> 28:39.930 align:start
And if you think maybe
better not to do this type

28:39.930 --> 28:43.430 align:start
of study give it
one sticker okay.

28:43.430 --> 28:46.600 align:start
And I have three boards
for each of the proposals,

28:46.600 --> 28:50.510 align:start
so put your stickers
on each one of them.

28:50.510 --> 29:00.490 align:start
So okay. So we start from you
and I give you the stickers.

29:00.490 --> 29:06.190 align:start
So there we go and to you.

29:06.190 --> 29:09.520 align:start
And then you need
to put your board,

29:09.520 --> 29:12.910 align:start
to give your board
to the next person.

29:12.910 --> 29:19.600 align:start
All right we have 27 likes
for bacteria and viruses,

29:19.600 --> 29:28.800 align:start
24 for smoking and cancer, so
what do we have for toothpaste?

29:28.800 --> 29:34.160 align:start
Less enthusiasm for toothpaste,
so I guess everyone figured it

29:34.160 --> 29:38.100 align:start
out already that
sugar not so good.

29:38.100 --> 29:46.100 align:start
All right so this
is just an example,

29:46.100 --> 29:52.140 align:start
just a game to give you an
idea how peer review works,

29:52.140 --> 29:56.360 align:start
like scientists from
different areas

29:56.360 --> 29:59.900 align:start
of science will gather
together and decide

29:59.900 --> 30:02.260 align:start
which is the most
exciting project

30:02.260 --> 30:08.790 align:start
and which will be
beneficial to our nation.

30:08.790 --> 30:13.010 align:start
So about importance
of basis science.

30:13.010 --> 30:15.040 align:start
As you know there
is basic science

30:15.040 --> 30:17.980 align:start
and applied or clinical science.

30:17.980 --> 30:21.880 align:start
And you can easily figure out
what clinical science means,

30:21.880 --> 30:27.190 align:start
it's just immediately
applicable to patients.

30:27.190 --> 30:36.850 align:start
But basic science is science
that will answer many questions

30:36.850 --> 30:40.290 align:start
that are unknown, many
questions about the disease

30:40.290 --> 30:43.270 align:start
that are not known,
maybe for those diseases

30:43.270 --> 30:45.660 align:start
without cure such as cancer.

30:45.660 --> 30:48.200 align:start
We need to gather
a lot of knowledge

30:48.200 --> 30:50.880 align:start
which probably will not
be immediately introduced

30:50.880 --> 30:55.610 align:start
into clinic but will be
helpful in developing

30:55.610 --> 30:57.630 align:start
such cure in the future.

30:57.630 --> 31:03.630 align:start
And basic science important
you appreciate it very much

31:03.630 --> 31:04.930 align:start
and I'm very happy.

31:04.930 --> 31:08.570 align:start
So let's talk about this
viruses and bacteria.

31:08.570 --> 31:17.480 align:start
So would you say maybe to cure
diabetes would be more important

31:17.480 --> 31:22.980 align:start
than to know how bacteria
protect themselves

31:22.980 --> 31:24.660 align:start
about the viruses?

31:24.660 --> 31:28.850 align:start
It happened that National
Institutes of Health

31:28.850 --> 31:31.930 align:start
and National Science
Foundation funded the bacteria

31:31.930 --> 31:34.080 align:start
and viruses research.

31:34.080 --> 31:38.360 align:start
And what they find that
bacteria will protect themselves

31:38.360 --> 31:41.950 align:start
against viruses by
getting pieces of DNA.

31:41.950 --> 31:51.770 align:start
And they found that human
DNA can be also cut,

31:51.770 --> 32:02.060 align:start
like piece of the
human DNA you can cut.

32:02.060 --> 32:09.690 align:start
For example with the gene that
has coding for insulin protein

32:09.690 --> 32:14.020 align:start
and then you put it
into bacterial DNA.

32:14.020 --> 32:19.790 align:start
So now you have the bacterial
DNA which have human gene

32:19.790 --> 32:22.650 align:start
and it will synthesize
human protein

32:22.650 --> 32:26.270 align:start
and then they purify protein
and give it to patient.

32:26.270 --> 32:37.040 align:start
So this is how basic
science can lead to cure.

32:37.040 --> 32:42.310 align:start
So you can be part of NIH too
and there are several programs

32:42.310 --> 32:44.530 align:start
that are available for
high school students

32:44.530 --> 32:47.700 align:start
and for university students.

32:47.700 --> 32:54.730 align:start
And there are also a lot of
resources, maybe Sasha can email

32:54.730 --> 33:03.160 align:start
to your teacher these resources
and you can investigate them

33:03.160 --> 33:05.330 align:start
when you are doing
some projects.

33:05.330 --> 33:06.630 align:start
And there is a lot

33:06.630 --> 33:09.110 align:start
of interesting information
about science.

33:09.110 --> 33:13.660 align:start
And if you are interested,
if you have questions,

33:13.660 --> 33:21.740 align:start
if you are patient, anyone with
these qualities can scientists.

33:21.740 --> 33:24.490 align:start
And of course you read
books, you go to the library,

33:24.490 --> 33:27.080 align:start
don't forget Library
of Congress.

33:27.080 --> 33:34.290 align:start
And you can do science camp,
you can do a lot of activities

33:34.290 --> 33:37.570 align:start
and go to earn your degree.

33:37.570 --> 33:43.200 align:start
And there are some professions
in biomedical research

33:43.200 --> 33:47.060 align:start
or in biomedical science that
do not require advanced degree.

33:47.060 --> 33:54.180 align:start
So for example environmental
field technicians, sonographers

33:54.180 --> 33:56.110 align:start
or veterinary technicians,
nurse,

33:56.110 --> 34:04.470 align:start
and if you are interested doing
forensic science for example.

34:04.470 --> 34:09.690 align:start
So you still have to have
education to do these things

34:09.690 --> 34:14.350 align:start
that you are interested
and you can choose

34:14.350 --> 34:21.230 align:start
to pursue your academic career
by going to a PhD studies

34:21.230 --> 34:25.590 align:start
and have your own lab and
ask your own questions,

34:25.590 --> 34:29.520 align:start
apply for NIH for funding,
and do your research

34:29.520 --> 34:33.070 align:start
that you would love to do.

34:33.070 --> 34:37.160 align:start
So just do not let
your imagination

34:37.160 --> 34:42.460 align:start
to give you boundaries,
so dream big

34:42.460 --> 34:48.940 align:start
and follow your dreams
so to be a scientist.

34:48.940 --> 34:51.550 align:start
That's the end of
my presentation

34:51.550 --> 34:56.310 align:start
and now Dr. Yuri
will excite you.

34:56.310 --> 35:03.140 align:start
And we will have questions
maybe later together right.

35:03.140 --> 35:04.440 align:start
>> Sasha Dowdy: Thank
you very much.

35:04.440 --> 35:11.710 align:start
So our next scientist and Yuri
Kotliarov is the other half

35:11.710 --> 35:14.850 align:start
of the scientific
dynamic duo and he'll talk

35:14.850 --> 35:17.990 align:start
to you a little bit about the
kinds of work that he does

35:17.990 --> 35:19.930 align:start
with scientific data,
what happens

35:19.930 --> 35:23.570 align:start
after you get the
results of the experiments

35:23.570 --> 35:26.160 align:start
and the questions
that you are asking.

35:26.160 --> 35:29.130 align:start
So he also went to
Tokyo University,

35:29.130 --> 35:32.440 align:start
got a PhD in engineering
and now also works

35:32.440 --> 35:34.900 align:start
at the National Institutes
of Health in the Center

35:34.900 --> 35:37.280 align:start
for Human Immunology,
he's a staff scientist

35:37.280 --> 35:39.690 align:start
so science is a daily thing.

35:39.690 --> 35:42.190 align:start
Looking at a whole bunch
of things and figuring

35:42.190 --> 35:44.550 align:start
out how everything
fits together.

35:44.550 --> 35:47.000 align:start
So tell us a little bit
more about your work.

35:47.000 --> 35:50.720 align:start
>> Dr. Yuri Kotliarov: Okay,
hello good morning again to you.

35:50.720 --> 35:53.020 align:start
So just as question
I want to ask you,

35:53.020 --> 35:56.500 align:start
what do you think the most
common tools now in science

35:56.500 --> 36:00.630 align:start
as it was for centuries,
like what scientists used

36:00.630 --> 36:04.850 align:start
to generate hypothesis, thinking

36:04.850 --> 36:08.450 align:start
about the nature,
what is the tools?

36:08.450 --> 36:13.280 align:start
So Svetlana before talked with
you about some scientific tools.

36:13.280 --> 36:15.440 align:start
So but what do you
think, any ideas,

36:15.440 --> 36:20.040 align:start
like very simple tools every
scientist used for centuries?

36:20.040 --> 36:21.340 align:start
Yes.

36:21.340 --> 36:22.640 align:start
>> Magnifying [inaudible].

36:22.640 --> 36:23.940 align:start
>> Dr. Yuri Kotliarov:
Magnifying glasses,

36:23.940 --> 36:28.770 align:start
but yeah it was developed
just maybe a few,

36:28.770 --> 36:31.180 align:start
maybe a hundred years
ago, something like this.

36:31.180 --> 36:33.920 align:start
Something was simpler
what scientists are using.

36:33.920 --> 36:35.220 align:start
>> Water.

36:35.220 --> 36:38.670 align:start
>> Dr. Yuri Kotliarov: Water
okay, but not everyone maybe.

36:38.670 --> 36:39.970 align:start
Yeah.

36:39.970 --> 36:41.520 align:start
[ Inaudible ]

36:41.520 --> 36:48.150 align:start
Exactly paper and pencil
you have to write your ideas

36:48.150 --> 36:51.620 align:start
and you kind of recording
your findings right.

36:51.620 --> 36:56.530 align:start
So in last years things
change, what do we use now?

36:56.530 --> 37:01.290 align:start
So we also use pen, paper
and pencils and papers,

37:01.290 --> 37:02.640 align:start
so what do we use now?

37:02.640 --> 37:03.940 align:start
>> Technology.

37:03.940 --> 37:05.240 align:start
>> Dr. Yuri Kotliarov:
Technology,

37:05.240 --> 37:06.540 align:start
what kind of technology?

37:06.540 --> 37:07.840 align:start
>> Internet.

37:07.840 --> 37:09.140 align:start
>> Dr. Yuri Kotliarov:
Internet yes, but before?

37:09.140 --> 37:10.440 align:start
[ Inaudible ]

37:10.440 --> 37:12.290 align:start
Just let's say computers
right more general

37:12.290 --> 37:16.930 align:start
and machines it help us
to store like large amount

37:16.930 --> 37:18.730 align:start
of data and do the analysis.

37:18.730 --> 37:22.060 align:start
[ Inaudible ]

37:22.060 --> 37:23.360 align:start
Which machine?

37:23.360 --> 37:24.660 align:start
[ Inaudible ]

37:24.660 --> 37:26.740 align:start
Computers yeah.

37:26.740 --> 37:29.800 align:start
>> [Inaudible] write
it down first.

37:29.800 --> 37:32.720 align:start
>> Dr. Yuri Kotliarov: So again
Svetlana recently described you

37:32.720 --> 37:38.160 align:start
that scientists who discovered
microscopes they just draw the

37:38.160 --> 37:41.600 align:start
pictures they saw
under the microscope.

37:41.600 --> 37:48.420 align:start
And many thought in hypothesis
was built about the pictures.

37:48.420 --> 37:53.850 align:start
So what current technology is
recording is very complicated,

37:53.850 --> 37:57.280 align:start
it's also images that converted
to the data on the computer

37:57.280 --> 37:59.490 align:start
and it's a large amount of data.

37:59.490 --> 38:02.520 align:start
Maybe I can just show you.

38:02.520 --> 38:09.980 align:start
So this is one of technologies,
it's a little bit old.

38:09.980 --> 38:17.880 align:start
We use these called
DNA or MicroArrays.

38:17.880 --> 38:21.110 align:start
You know all what is DNA and
how it looks like, what is it,

38:21.110 --> 38:24.620 align:start
did you study in
your science class?

38:24.620 --> 38:27.960 align:start
Does this look like this?

38:27.960 --> 38:30.010 align:start
Yeah, like a [inaudible]
molecule

38:30.010 --> 38:35.420 align:start
that can pass the information
about you from generation

38:35.420 --> 38:39.130 align:start
to generation, why is
we look your mom and dad

38:39.130 --> 38:42.240 align:start
and why we different from
animal, from bacteria.

38:42.240 --> 38:48.350 align:start
Because every living thing
they have DNA in their cells.

38:48.350 --> 38:52.630 align:start
So this technology has, it's
actually a very tiny chip,

38:52.630 --> 38:58.410 align:start
it's about like one
and a little bit more

38:58.410 --> 38:59.960 align:start
[inaudible] centimeters.

38:59.960 --> 39:07.820 align:start
And they have small
pieces of DNA attached

39:07.820 --> 39:11.350 align:start
to like every micron
of this array

39:11.350 --> 39:14.470 align:start
and the DNA is very
different and it's light

39:14.470 --> 39:19.370 align:start
when it finds similar
DNA in your sample.

39:19.370 --> 39:23.370 align:start
So we analyze like a lot of
thousands of such images,

39:23.370 --> 39:24.670 align:start
it's very complicated.

39:24.670 --> 39:26.700 align:start
It's written by laser
and basically

39:26.700 --> 39:34.280 align:start
when the laser finds the light
it means these genes also

39:34.280 --> 39:39.640 align:start
present in your sample,
the samples can be cells

39:39.640 --> 39:44.080 align:start
or something from your
blood, from mouse,

39:44.080 --> 39:46.700 align:start
animals, bacteria and so on.

39:46.700 --> 39:51.300 align:start
So the data takes a lot of space

39:51.300 --> 39:54.030 align:start
and this requires computer
to do the analysis.

39:54.030 --> 39:58.840 align:start
For example, we can compare
cancer patients some sample,

39:58.840 --> 40:02.120 align:start
like blood sample
from cancer patient

40:02.120 --> 40:06.040 align:start
with a healthy patient
just normal and see

40:06.040 --> 40:08.040 align:start
which genes are different.

40:08.040 --> 40:11.360 align:start
Maybe if some genes express more
it means the gene's response

40:11.360 --> 40:14.770 align:start
in cancer patients the gene
responsible for the cancer

40:14.770 --> 40:18.410 align:start
or if some genes we find less

40:18.410 --> 40:21.400 align:start
in cancer patients maybe
this gene is important

40:21.400 --> 40:24.110 align:start
to protect healthy
people from cancer.

40:24.110 --> 40:28.500 align:start
So but the -- yes?

40:28.500 --> 40:30.110 align:start
>> How is cancer formed?

40:30.110 --> 40:33.640 align:start
>> Dr. Yuri Kotliarov: This
is a complicated question,

40:33.640 --> 40:38.420 align:start
this is actually under a
very large study now how the

40:38.420 --> 40:39.720 align:start
cancer form.

40:39.720 --> 40:44.380 align:start
The problem is that the
different cancer is very

40:44.380 --> 40:47.250 align:start
different, from one patient
-- if you compare one patient

40:47.250 --> 40:49.540 align:start
and another patient
even with the same type

40:49.540 --> 40:54.170 align:start
of cancer let's say
lung cancer the nature

40:54.170 --> 40:56.260 align:start
of cancer might be
very different.

40:56.260 --> 40:59.250 align:start
Some maybe smoked a
lot and got the cancer,

40:59.250 --> 41:03.140 align:start
another one maybe lived
in different environment

41:03.140 --> 41:12.500 align:start
or had some genomic
predisposition,

41:12.500 --> 41:16.000 align:start
some mutations in their cells.

41:16.000 --> 41:20.400 align:start
So it's a very difficult
question and it's.

41:20.400 --> 41:27.510 align:start
>> Are you saying
that if someone

41:27.510 --> 41:31.590 align:start
from different [inaudible],
from different areas?

41:31.590 --> 41:34.840 align:start
>> Dr. Yuri Kotliarov:
Yeah, the are some -- yeah.

41:34.840 --> 41:36.140 align:start
>> Dr. Svetlana Kotliarova:
Can I answer?

41:36.140 --> 41:37.440 align:start
>> Dr. Yuri Kotliarov:
Yeah, you can answer.

41:37.440 --> 41:38.740 align:start
>> Dr. Svetlana Kotliarova:

41:38.740 --> 41:41.600 align:start
So cancer is although they are
all different as Yuri said,

41:41.600 --> 41:45.840 align:start
so there are common
features of all cancers

41:45.840 --> 41:56.430 align:start
that something happens in the
DNA, in our genetic information

41:56.430 --> 41:59.990 align:start
that make the cells to
divide uncontrollably,

41:59.990 --> 42:01.760 align:start
so it cannot stop dividing.

42:01.760 --> 42:07.140 align:start
That's why the tumor is
formed, so it's growing.

42:07.140 --> 42:11.960 align:start
That is the main feature which
is common to many cancers.

42:11.960 --> 42:18.100 align:start
So is that what your question,
how the cancer is formed?

42:18.100 --> 42:20.760 align:start
But exactly the mechanism
can be different

42:20.760 --> 42:23.620 align:start
for all different
types of cancer.

42:23.620 --> 42:25.320 align:start
And there are a lot of.

42:25.320 --> 42:26.620 align:start
>> Dr. Yuri Kotliarov:
And even for example

42:26.620 --> 42:32.180 align:start
if there is brain cancer there
is multiple different types

42:32.180 --> 42:34.580 align:start
of brain cancer.

42:34.580 --> 42:38.440 align:start
And it's different how people
survive, some survive longer,

42:38.440 --> 42:40.720 align:start
some survive less,
some people respond

42:40.720 --> 42:46.470 align:start
to some treatment
and survive longer.

42:46.470 --> 42:48.740 align:start
But other people do not
respond and it's very important

42:48.740 --> 42:51.980 align:start
to know what is the
right treatment

42:51.980 --> 42:54.960 align:start
for some patients
and for another.

42:54.960 --> 42:57.510 align:start
Maybe you heard about
some program

42:57.510 --> 43:02.760 align:start
like precision medicine
initiative when scientist wants

43:02.760 --> 43:07.680 align:start
to really analyze like
sequence of DNA in your cells

43:07.680 --> 43:12.510 align:start
and know more about you
and to find better cure.

43:12.510 --> 43:20.190 align:start
[ Inaudible ]

43:20.190 --> 43:27.370 align:start
Yes, the earlier the cancer
is detected the easier

43:27.370 --> 43:31.060 align:start
to treat it usually.

43:31.060 --> 43:35.390 align:start
But it depends on the
aggressiveness of cancer

43:35.390 --> 43:40.920 align:start
and sometimes it's very hard to
find the cancer at early stage

43:40.920 --> 43:43.280 align:start
because the cells are
very small you know

43:43.280 --> 43:48.380 align:start
and cancer cells they're hiding,
it's very tough and it's one

43:48.380 --> 43:53.160 align:start
of the direction
of cancer science

43:53.160 --> 43:56.580 align:start
to detect cancer
at the early stage.

43:56.580 --> 43:59.420 align:start
So but I don't have much time,
I want to have some fun with you

43:59.420 --> 44:01.960 align:start
about the data analysis
in general.

44:01.960 --> 44:06.030 align:start
So I show you this slide just to
have an idea that we're dealing

44:06.030 --> 44:07.890 align:start
with some large images
that converted

44:07.890 --> 44:09.870 align:start
to the data on the computer.

44:09.870 --> 44:13.670 align:start
So but I want to talk
something different

44:13.670 --> 44:18.240 align:start
and maybe you won't notice
it's related to science.

44:18.240 --> 44:23.960 align:start
So in the Library of Congress
there is a very large database

44:23.960 --> 44:27.120 align:start
of old newspapers.

44:27.120 --> 44:30.720 align:start
The newspapers was scanned

44:30.720 --> 44:33.570 align:start
with optical character
recognition technology,

44:33.570 --> 44:35.080 align:start
have you heard about it?

44:35.080 --> 44:38.330 align:start
Basically you can convert
the image to the text,

44:38.330 --> 44:42.880 align:start
you could right,
it's called OCR.

44:42.880 --> 44:47.930 align:start
So the Library of Congress
had this large database

44:47.930 --> 44:55.190 align:start
of newspapers from you see
18th century to 20th century,

44:55.190 --> 44:58.680 align:start
all the -- so many newspapers

44:58.680 --> 45:01.420 align:start
and all the text
is recognizable.

45:01.420 --> 45:07.590 align:start
The computer like you're reading
the news in the computer.

45:07.590 --> 45:11.290 align:start
So and so this project
[inaudible]

45:11.290 --> 45:17.640 align:start
in America provides very
good access to this data

45:17.640 --> 45:23.470 align:start
and you can do some very
fun research I would say.

45:23.470 --> 45:29.230 align:start
And I can just go with
you and just do them,

45:29.230 --> 45:34.170 align:start
very small analysis
with the tool I'm using.

45:34.170 --> 45:38.290 align:start
So you all like animals,
dogs and cats,

45:38.290 --> 45:41.500 align:start
anyone have dogs or
cats [inaudible]?

45:41.500 --> 45:44.450 align:start
So who is the dog people?

45:44.450 --> 45:45.880 align:start
Wow me too.

45:45.880 --> 45:50.580 align:start
And who are cats people?

45:50.580 --> 45:51.880 align:start
You have both right?

45:51.880 --> 45:53.200 align:start
Very good.

45:53.200 --> 45:58.310 align:start
So let's ask which from 18th
century right we have all these

45:58.310 --> 46:01.670 align:start
papers and how many
papers mention dogs

46:01.670 --> 46:04.590 align:start
and how many papers
mention cats?

46:04.590 --> 46:09.840 align:start
So what people will prefer
to talk about in newspaper.

46:09.840 --> 46:11.140 align:start
Yes.

46:11.140 --> 46:13.040 align:start
[ Inaudible ]

46:13.040 --> 46:16.020 align:start
Okay yeah, we can see.

46:16.020 --> 46:20.760 align:start
So this actually,
so my thought based

46:20.760 --> 46:23.940 align:start
on there is some data
exploration like this

46:23.940 --> 46:29.630 align:start
in the Library of Congress
blog, I get the idea from there

46:29.630 --> 46:32.870 align:start
but applied it on the
tool what I am using.

46:32.870 --> 46:37.320 align:start
Okay so I will show
you my screen here.

46:37.320 --> 46:41.870 align:start
Okay so this called,
environment called RStudio

46:41.870 --> 46:49.070 align:start
and I'm using R language,
just one letter R. So I get,

46:49.070 --> 46:54.760 align:start
this is the link, it's a coding
yes, this is like how we --

46:54.760 --> 46:58.360 align:start
so I am doing the data
analysis in my daily job

46:58.360 --> 46:59.840 align:start
and this is basically coding.

46:59.840 --> 47:05.560 align:start
So this is my code, this is
where all the output show me

47:05.560 --> 47:08.680 align:start
and this is where you will see
some pictures and variables.

47:08.680 --> 47:11.330 align:start
Any of you study
some kind of coding?

47:11.330 --> 47:12.680 align:start
You did good.

47:12.680 --> 47:14.740 align:start
What language have you used?

47:14.740 --> 47:19.250 align:start
>> I don't use we coding
to make video games.

Oh probably like
what's the name?

[ Inaudible ]

47:29.040 --> 47:30.390 align:start
Okay, okay.

47:30.390 --> 47:36.420 align:start
So this code, this
language is very used

47:36.420 --> 47:39.920 align:start
in the science of data analysis.

47:39.920 --> 47:44.980 align:start
So I read this URL in
the code, get some data.

47:44.980 --> 47:49.320 align:start
I hope internet works well.

47:49.320 --> 47:51.620 align:start
[ Inaudible ]

47:51.620 --> 47:58.170 align:start
So you can see I am reading like
some, I'm getting some papers

47:58.170 --> 48:00.450 align:start
from Arizona and you can see

48:00.450 --> 48:10.950 align:start
that there is 300,000
papers just from this state.

48:10.950 --> 48:19.780 align:start
So let's go to dogs, so
we can -- for example.

48:19.780 --> 48:26.720 align:start
So I am doing the
request for like dogs

48:26.720 --> 48:30.270 align:start
and just it will
take a long time

48:30.270 --> 48:33.820 align:start
to analyze the whole,
the database.

48:33.820 --> 48:39.320 align:start
So I've taken only
just 20 pages.

48:39.320 --> 48:46.960 align:start
And it returns me to dog
mentioned just in 20 pages,

48:46.960 --> 48:50.840 align:start
it's not newspaper pages
but it's pages the Library

48:50.840 --> 48:52.140 align:start
of Congress gives you.

48:52.140 --> 49:02.370 align:start
And you can see it it's around 2
million records about the dogs.

49:02.370 --> 49:07.280 align:start
So.

49:07.280 --> 49:11.630 align:start
So here I get information
for both cats and dogs,

49:11.630 --> 49:22.090 align:start
so you can see it goes through
all the 20 pages of information.

49:22.090 --> 49:26.060 align:start
And it's getting what
state the data from

49:26.060 --> 49:29.500 align:start
and how many mentioning
of dogs and cats.

49:29.500 --> 49:34.640 align:start
Okay 20 it's done, this actually
will take a long time for it

49:34.640 --> 49:37.690 align:start
to analyze the whole database.

49:37.690 --> 49:46.210 align:start
So some preparation.

49:46.210 --> 49:52.040 align:start
Okay and now we have a plot.

49:52.040 --> 49:54.590 align:start
So and can you see it?

49:54.590 --> 50:05.320 align:start
So this show by state and make
it a little bit smaller okay.

50:05.320 --> 50:10.760 align:start
So the red one is
cats, the blue is dogs,

50:10.760 --> 50:14.330 align:start
so this show how many
mentions from the newspaper

50:14.330 --> 50:16.230 align:start
from each state, in
the United States

50:16.230 --> 50:19.090 align:start
and again from 18th century.

50:19.090 --> 50:24.280 align:start
Again, the more, you can see
for example [inaudible] it looks

50:24.280 --> 50:27.790 align:start
like dogs more than cats.

50:27.790 --> 50:34.520 align:start
Here we have the District
of Columbia cats win.

50:34.520 --> 50:39.590 align:start
So some of them like New York
is a dog state, Kentucky,

50:39.590 --> 50:45.190 align:start
California, but other they're
pretty much cats as well.

50:45.190 --> 50:51.290 align:start
So if you do a little
bit more plotting.

50:51.290 --> 50:56.590 align:start
So I calculated like who
is the winner basically,

50:56.590 --> 50:59.790 align:start
the ratio of number of dogs

50:59.790 --> 51:04.120 align:start
in newspaper divided
by number of cats.

51:04.120 --> 51:08.590 align:start
So these green are
the dog winners states

51:08.590 --> 51:10.800 align:start
and see Kentucky is on the top.

51:10.800 --> 51:14.410 align:start
So basically, more
dogs than cats,

51:14.410 --> 51:18.270 align:start
three times more mention
of dogs in Kentucky.

51:18.270 --> 51:23.720 align:start
This is tied, this
is the same Virginia,

51:23.720 --> 51:25.730 align:start
South Dakota and Georgia.

51:25.730 --> 51:33.050 align:start
And Arizona, Montana, Indiana
they looks like cats more.

51:33.050 --> 51:36.900 align:start
Okay you all like
Star Wars, right?

51:36.900 --> 51:40.680 align:start
Did you watch last night, no?

51:40.680 --> 51:45.510 align:start
Anyway, there is a database
about all the characters

51:45.510 --> 51:50.310 align:start
from the Star Wars in all
the movies, made movies.

51:50.310 --> 51:54.220 align:start
So about the physical
characteristics, I don't know

51:54.220 --> 51:55.870 align:start
who compiled them but there is

51:55.870 --> 52:01.190 align:start
like a whole website
describing who is who.

52:01.190 --> 52:08.850 align:start
And this website basically has
the easy access to all the data,

52:08.850 --> 52:13.960 align:start
for example different planets,
people, vehicles, spaceship,

52:13.960 --> 52:16.870 align:start
which people using which
vehicle, and so on.

52:16.870 --> 52:21.030 align:start
And which films they
are and so on.

52:21.030 --> 52:24.750 align:start
This is the data how it look
like, so name of the person,

52:24.750 --> 52:29.580 align:start
you can see Darth Vader here
and Skywalker, even droids,

52:29.580 --> 52:32.820 align:start
C-3PO and these just
the first part,

52:32.820 --> 52:34.640 align:start
there is 88 characters total

52:34.640 --> 52:38.960 align:start
in this database
[inaudible] attributes.

52:38.960 --> 52:42.710 align:start
So again disclaimer, last movie
now is The Force Awakens no

52:42.710 --> 52:44.010 align:start
[inaudible] yet.

52:44.010 --> 52:48.950 align:start
And you can see there is the
hair and mass and hair color,

52:48.950 --> 52:53.060 align:start
eye color and gender
and where they are from,

52:53.060 --> 52:56.440 align:start
what the species and so on.

52:56.440 --> 52:59.140 align:start
So I just thought it
will be some kind of fun

52:59.140 --> 53:04.900 align:start
to do data analysis of
this database just quickly.

53:04.900 --> 53:14.040 align:start
So I already collected the
data, so I'll just read them,

53:14.040 --> 53:19.090 align:start
[inaudible] libraries.

53:19.090 --> 53:22.500 align:start
So this gives me some ideas
about what species are

53:22.500 --> 53:27.010 align:start
in the movie, so there
is 37 humans, 5 droids,

53:27.010 --> 53:31.130 align:start
and then others just so
many species in the galaxy

53:31.130 --> 53:35.770 align:start
that are very few
representative of each.

53:35.770 --> 53:41.080 align:start
Yes and this movie is mostly
about humans you know.

53:41.080 --> 53:48.480 align:start
Let's -- so they
have mass and height

53:48.480 --> 53:56.140 align:start
and I thought let's plot
them again each other.

53:56.140 --> 54:00.800 align:start
So here is some points,
so here is the mass

54:00.800 --> 54:05.070 align:start
so how heavy they are
and this is height.

54:05.070 --> 54:12.280 align:start
So again, we see the.

54:12.280 --> 54:17.980 align:start
So this row everyone that
has both mass and height.

54:17.980 --> 54:19.920 align:start
So you can see they're
kind of on the line

54:19.920 --> 54:26.640 align:start
so they're heavier the character
the higher they are or opposite.

54:26.640 --> 54:31.130 align:start
There is one exception
here, so he's very heavy

54:31.130 --> 54:38.380 align:start
and not very high, any ideas who
can be, who knows the movies?

54:38.380 --> 54:44.930 align:start
There is the Java the Hut
remember this fat guy, bad guy?

54:44.930 --> 54:50.920 align:start
So for this I only
leave human and droids.

54:50.920 --> 54:53.340 align:start
So let me label them.

54:53.340 --> 54:57.660 align:start
So this is the BB8
very small droid

54:57.660 --> 55:01.650 align:start
and then the top we have
Darth Vader, very high

55:01.650 --> 55:05.430 align:start
and then all the other humans

55:05.430 --> 55:09.700 align:start
with another droid
like killer droids.

55:09.700 --> 55:12.610 align:start
And then basically all
the humans [inaudible]

55:12.610 --> 55:15.620 align:start
and there is a line
and some exceptions.

55:15.620 --> 55:21.180 align:start
So you know idea about the
body mass index how they,

55:21.180 --> 55:27.350 align:start
how doctors kind of assess how
health you are based on mass

55:27.350 --> 55:31.780 align:start
and height or if like your
BMI is basically mass divided

55:31.780 --> 55:34.800 align:start
by square of your
height, sorry height?

55:34.800 --> 55:45.680 align:start
So I can calculate the
BMI for these characters.

55:45.680 --> 55:53.480 align:start
Okay so this is coloring
male, it's okay.

55:53.480 --> 56:02.350 align:start
So this is, so again here

56:02.350 --> 56:05.560 align:start
with the green one
is our healthy zone,

56:05.560 --> 56:10.690 align:start
you can see this is between like
20 and 25 really healthy BMI.

56:10.690 --> 56:16.690 align:start
And you see all the humans
are pretty good shape.

56:16.690 --> 56:17.990 align:start
Let me label them also.

56:17.990 --> 56:19.290 align:start
>> Dr. Svetlana Kotliarova:
How about Chewbacca?

56:19.290 --> 56:20.590 align:start
>> Dr. Yuri Kotliarov:
I haven't labeled him.

56:20.590 --> 56:25.020 align:start
Actually he was there, but
he's not human he was excluded.

56:25.020 --> 56:26.320 align:start
>> Dr. Svetlana Kotliarova:
Okay.

56:26.320 --> 56:27.620 align:start
>> Dr. Yuri Kotliarov: A beast.

56:27.620 --> 56:31.580 align:start
So see Darth Vader a
little bit overweight,

56:31.580 --> 56:36.370 align:start
but he probably has a
lot of metal in the body.

56:36.370 --> 56:38.930 align:start
Some few people are overweight

56:38.930 --> 56:47.310 align:start
and these I remember the
Luke's step-father right,

56:47.310 --> 56:48.610 align:start
a little bit overweighted
[phonetic].

56:48.610 --> 56:57.150 align:start
And one of the pilot called,
with nickname [inaudible].

56:57.150 --> 57:04.810 align:start
So all the females here,
except one Captain Phasma

57:04.810 --> 57:09.610 align:start
from the Force Awakens,
it's a very large woman.

57:09.610 --> 57:13.740 align:start
And you know this is the wartime
they all like very fit to fight

57:13.740 --> 57:15.740 align:start
and also, it's Hollywood actors,

57:15.740 --> 57:21.180 align:start
you know they're
supposed to be healthy.

57:21.180 --> 57:26.240 align:start
So, okay so I want to finalize,
we don't have much time,

57:26.240 --> 57:30.270 align:start
I have some other
very fun datasets.

57:30.270 --> 57:36.730 align:start
But I want you to have an
idea that it's very easy

57:36.730 --> 57:42.450 align:start
to use computer and with just a
few lines of code you can look

57:42.450 --> 57:45.460 align:start
from the different
prospects on your data

57:45.460 --> 57:49.960 align:start
and kind of get an idea.

57:49.960 --> 57:55.410 align:start
And generate some hypothesis
for fun experiments.

57:55.410 --> 58:00.030 align:start
Thank you very much
guys for listening.

>> Dr. Yuri Kotliarov: This is
just for fun in my free time.

58:13.350 --> 58:14.650 align:start
>> Right, so what type of data,

58:14.650 --> 58:18.100 align:start
so you're only analyzing
immunology data

58:18.100 --> 58:20.010 align:start
or are you analyzing
all the different data

58:20.010 --> 58:21.380 align:start
that comes into your office?

58:21.380 --> 58:22.680 align:start
>> Dr. Yuri Kotliarov:
Analyzing different data

58:22.680 --> 58:23.980 align:start
which related to immunology.

58:23.980 --> 58:25.280 align:start
>> Okay.

58:25.280 --> 58:26.580 align:start
>> Dr. Yuri Kotliarov:
This can be some

58:26.580 --> 58:27.880 align:start
like autoimmune diseases,

58:27.880 --> 58:29.180 align:start
it can be for example we
published a large paper

58:29.180 --> 58:30.630 align:start
about the flu vaccination.

58:30.630 --> 58:31.930 align:start
>> Okay.

58:31.930 --> 58:34.220 align:start
>> Dr. Yuri Kotliarov: How
people respond to flu vaccine,

58:34.220 --> 58:37.180 align:start
but we see that it
depends on some cells

58:37.180 --> 58:42.480 align:start
in your body some people
respond higher than others.

58:42.480 --> 58:43.780 align:start
>> Okay.

58:43.780 --> 58:45.080 align:start
>> Dr. Yuri Kotliarov:
And we find some cells

58:45.080 --> 58:47.570 align:start
that actually they stay there,

58:47.570 --> 58:53.550 align:start
the amount of those cells just
before the vaccination can --

58:53.550 --> 58:56.210 align:start
is responsible for whether
you will have response or not.

58:56.210 --> 58:57.510 align:start
>> Okay.

58:57.510 --> 58:58.810 align:start
>> Dr. Yuri Kotliarov:

58:58.810 --> 59:02.220 align:start
So and it's very different
how young people responds

59:02.220 --> 59:05.810 align:start
versus old people, they are
very different immune system

59:05.810 --> 59:08.830 align:start
and we're still trying
to understand what's the

59:08.830 --> 59:11.360 align:start
like big difference between
young and old people.

59:11.360 --> 59:12.660 align:start
>> Dr. Svetlana Kotliarova:
You did cancer.

59:12.660 --> 59:13.960 align:start
>> Dr. Yuri Kotliarov:
So we study.

59:13.960 --> 59:15.260 align:start
>> Dr. Svetlana Kotliarova:
You did cancer too.

59:15.260 --> 59:17.870 align:start
>> Dr. Yuri Kotliarov:
That's right we did.

59:17.870 --> 59:20.430 align:start
>> Do you all ever
get to work together?

59:20.430 --> 59:22.680 align:start
>> Dr. Yuri Kotliarov: We used
to work together for eight years

59:22.680 --> 59:25.990 align:start
in the cancer lab on
the brain cancers.

59:25.990 --> 59:27.780 align:start
>> Dr. Svetlana Kotliarova:
I'm whispering

59:27.780 --> 59:31.710 align:start
that you did cancer analysis
too in terms of data.

59:31.710 --> 59:34.470 align:start
>> Dr. Yuri Kotliarov: Yes, we
working on the and now you know

59:34.470 --> 59:42.180 align:start
in the cancer research
immunotherapy is very promising

59:42.180 --> 59:47.710 align:start
to prepare the cell that
is specific for a patient

59:47.710 --> 59:49.980 align:start
that will help him
to fight the cancer

59:49.980 --> 59:52.920 align:start
and then attack the
cancer cells and kill them.

59:52.920 --> 59:57.400 align:start
So this is very promising
research and also in immunology

59:57.400 --> 01:00:01.000 align:start
in general there is
many, many open questions

01:00:01.000 --> 01:00:02.300 align:start
that we're trying to answer.

01:00:02.300 --> 01:00:04.780 align:start
Basically my job is
to help scientists

01:00:04.780 --> 01:00:12.160 align:start
to understand the data and to
generate some new hypothesis,

01:00:12.160 --> 01:00:16.000 align:start
how to explain what
we see in the data.

01:00:16.000 --> 01:00:19.990 align:start
Do you have any questions guys?

01:00:19.990 --> 01:00:25.790 align:start
So basically this is using the
tools that now almost everyone,

01:00:25.790 --> 01:00:28.840 align:start
many, many people have
computers in their home.

01:00:28.840 --> 01:00:30.350 align:start
>> Dr. Svetlana Kotliarova:
This is a free tool yeah.

01:00:30.350 --> 01:00:33.130 align:start
>> Dr. Yuri Kotliarov: And this
tool I'm using is actually free,

01:00:33.130 --> 01:00:35.670 align:start
it's opensource.

01:00:35.670 --> 01:00:40.570 align:start
>> Would you rather use
the computer or like pencil

01:00:40.570 --> 01:00:45.120 align:start
and paper like because say if
like all the power went out and.

01:00:45.120 --> 01:00:46.420 align:start
>> Dr. Yuri Kotliarov:
Of course yes.

01:00:46.420 --> 01:00:47.720 align:start
>> And the data will be erased.

01:00:47.720 --> 01:00:49.020 align:start
>> Dr. Yuri Kotliarov:
Of course.

01:00:49.020 --> 01:00:52.100 align:start
Yeah, I prefer to use the
computer when it's available

01:00:52.100 --> 01:00:56.470 align:start
but we should be ready of course
and just don't lose [inaudible]

01:00:56.470 --> 01:01:01.890 align:start
to write and draw
with pen and pencils.

01:01:01.890 --> 01:01:04.100 align:start
>> Sasha Dowdy: We actually
have a whole bunch of research

01:01:04.100 --> 01:01:06.720 align:start
in the Library of Congress
collection, digital collections

01:01:06.720 --> 01:01:10.700 align:start
of Thomas Jefferson writing
down data with paper and pencil

01:01:10.700 --> 01:01:14.460 align:start
and he was trying to figure out,
not necessarily even figuring

01:01:14.460 --> 01:01:17.470 align:start
out just recording data
about the weather every day

01:01:17.470 --> 01:01:20.570 align:start
and he would write
down just everything

01:01:20.570 --> 01:01:22.150 align:start
that he saw around him.

01:01:22.150 --> 01:01:24.880 align:start
And then you can see
all that data online

01:01:24.880 --> 01:01:26.940 align:start
and you could also
plug it into a computer

01:01:26.940 --> 01:01:29.240 align:start
and analyze what Thomas
Jefferson was looking

01:01:29.240 --> 01:01:30.540 align:start
at every day so.

01:01:30.540 --> 01:01:31.840 align:start
>> Dr. Svetlana Kotliarova:
That's interesting.

01:01:31.840 --> 01:01:34.060 align:start
>> Sasha Dowdy: He was a
writer, inventor, scientist,

01:01:34.060 --> 01:01:37.950 align:start
library enthusiast, everything.

01:01:37.950 --> 01:01:39.580 align:start
>> Dr. Yuri Kotliarov:
But I can say

01:01:39.580 --> 01:01:42.790 align:start
that you saw the optical
character recognition

01:01:42.790 --> 01:01:45.660 align:start
from the newspapers when
the font is very fixed

01:01:45.660 --> 01:01:47.510 align:start
and we know how the
letters look like,

01:01:47.510 --> 01:01:51.750 align:start
but when you have the
handwriting and you want

01:01:51.750 --> 01:01:53.050 align:start
to [inaudible] computer

01:01:53.050 --> 01:01:56.380 align:start
to analyze what's written
it's a very hard task.

01:01:56.380 --> 01:01:59.440 align:start
Different people have different
you know writing styles

01:01:59.440 --> 01:02:02.110 align:start
and sometimes you
even cannot read

01:02:02.110 --> 01:02:04.300 align:start
and you want computer
to be able to read.

01:02:04.300 --> 01:02:08.020 align:start
But there is a technology
like some deep learning

01:02:08.020 --> 01:02:11.470 align:start
and [inaudible] networks
that have helped with these

01:02:11.470 --> 01:02:21.620 align:start
and now the research is
ongoing in this area.

01:02:21.620 --> 01:02:22.920 align:start
>> Sasha Dowdy: [Inaudible]
asked your question,

01:02:22.920 --> 01:02:29.060 align:start
anyone else?

01:02:29.060 --> 01:02:30.360 align:start
>> Dr. Yuri Kotliarov: Okay.

01:02:30.360 --> 01:02:31.660 align:start
>> Dr. Svetlana Kotliarova:
Okay.

01:02:31.660 --> 01:02:35.640 align:start
>> Sasha Dowdy: All right
well how about another round

01:02:35.640 --> 01:02:37.350 align:start
of applause for our scientists?

01:02:37.350 --> 01:02:40.710 align:start
Thank you very much.

01:02:40.710 --> 01:02:42.010 align:start
>> Dr. Svetlana Kotliarova:
Thank you.

01:02:42.010 --> 01:02:43.850 align:start
>> Sasha Dowdy: I hope you
guys enjoyed the presentation

01:02:43.850 --> 01:02:46.390 align:start
and make sure to check out
the digital resources we have

01:02:46.390 --> 01:02:49.820 align:start
about all these founding
fathers who recorded their data

01:02:49.820 --> 01:02:51.780 align:start
and the original scientists.

01:02:51.780 --> 01:02:54.800 align:start
And there are so many
sources out there,

01:02:54.800 --> 01:02:56.140 align:start
if you like you can find a lot

01:02:56.140 --> 01:02:58.080 align:start
of really interesting
data and explore.

01:02:58.080 --> 01:03:00.340 align:start
If you have a question
you're already a scientist

01:03:00.340 --> 01:03:04.550 align:start
and just keep exploring
your curiosity okay.

01:03:04.550 --> 01:03:07.990 align:start
All right guys, thank
you so much.

01:03:07.990 --> 01:03:10.790 align:start
>> This has been a
presentation of the Library

01:03:10.790 --> 01:03:13.970 align:start
