What are the mechanisms (both biological and socioeconomic) through which genetic factors operate, and translate into outcomes? How do we identify the short- and long-term effects of single exposures from their cumulative effects over the life cycle and the mechanisms through which they operate, from the cells to the society?

If you experience any technical difficulties with this video or would like to make an accessibility-related request, please send a message to [email protected]. What is the evidence from animal and human studies on the lifecourse consequences of early life events? How robust is the evidence? Are there critical and/or sensitive periods in the development of cognition, mental traits and physical health? How reversible are the effects of compromised development?

James Dewey Watson, PhB'46, SB'47, won the 1962 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for discovering the structure of DNA and remains one of the most influential researchers in the field of genetics. Back on campus to receive the 2007 University of Chicago Alumni Medal, Dr. Watson had a wide ranging discussion with alumni,...

If you experience any technical difficulties with this video or would like to make an accessibility-related request, please send a message to [email protected]. Dr. Bruce Lahn discusses newly discovered variants in two genes, one of which affects brain-size in humans. Because these variants have arisen very recently, studying them may help researchers understand the ongoing evolution of the human brain.
