Unboiling Eggs and Cancer TreatmentFeb 17, 201517mGuest: Gregory Weiss, Professor of Chemistry and Molecular Biology & Biochemistry at the University of California, Irvine  How to boil an egg is among the simplest first lessons a home cook learns. Unboiling the egg, is certainly not. A team at the University of California, Irvine, in partnership with Australian chemists, recently published a paper in the journal ChemBioChem explaining how to turn a boiled hen egg back into liquid to help reduce costs in cancer treatments.  “I’m really interested in the proteins that drive cancer cells to become tumors. Those kinds of protein cells,” says Weiss, “are truly evil. I want develop things that will detect those kinds of proteins so we can quickly diagnose the cancer.”

Drone LawFeb 17, 201523mGuest: Tim McLain, Professor of Mechanical Engineering at BYU and Director of the “Center for Unmanned Aircraft Systems”  Over the weekend, the Federal Aviation Administration proposed new rules for operating small commercial drones. Until now, the FAA has cracked down on private businesses or hobbyists flying the unmanned aircraft. The proposed rules would allow people to use drones in limited circumstances, though it will likely be several years before the regulations are official and the air begins to buzz with machines.  “I think it’s pretty clear there needs to be some regulations as to where and how these aircrafts need to be flown. The rules that were released this weekend is a good start,” says McLain.

Family Impacts Economic SuccessFeb 17, 201529mW. Bradford Wilcox, Sociologist and Director of the National Marriage Project at the University of Virginia  “When you’re looking at raising kids, it’s much easier to do with two parents in the home,” says Wilcox.  “Married men tend to make 16,000 dollars more than their single peers,” whereas for women, “there is no personal financial advantage of getting married, or any penalty,” explains Wilcox.  “In general we found, kids in a single parent family tend to do worse,” says Wilcox, “as compared to a two parent family, doing the best.”
