How genetics and environment work together to shape our destiny: Milena Georgieva at TEDxAUBG

[@milenageorgieva2081]

I'm sure you are much more familiar with other TED's talks about Epigenetics and I am far from comparing myself with high quality scientists...what I aimed in my talk was to let the audience know that we all are responsible for the future of our children by the way we live and the things we do..moreover, it was centered mainly on some of our results with a set of food additives we investigate in our lab...;).. People need too know about all the dangers in our daily lives;) Thanks for the comment

Hi Milena Have you ever heard of the concept "Biology of Loss"? My interest is (also) childhood development. Can you direct me to information where experiences and emotions could be shown to unlock the Genome; relating to functional Protien building;(?) and thus resulting in functional health and -orientation in early human development? *I'm not a scientist or learned. But did help to play a child to better health. Wondering how it worked. It would be nice to find out and use it to convince others- that they probably can too: Play kids to better health!

@milenageorgieva2081 I think your speech was very informational. I really enjoyed and actually gained information. Thank you!

Браво, гордея се с такива български учени. Една от най-смислените и разбираемо поднесените лекции по темата.

It's not nature v nurture. It's nature AND nurture. Epigenetics will provide the most complete understanding of the human condition.

[@bakhtiyorrakhmanov5131]

Dear Milena, thanks so much for your support!

[@lynziann123]

Thanks for replying Milena! I hope you can put out more videos on the potential environmental dangers some day! I'd love to know more on your research! I understand that you may not be able to do so but regardless, thank you for the work your doing and helping making the world a better place x

[@bakhtiyorrakhmanov5131]

Very nice and understandable presentation! Thanks, Dear Milena!

[@milenageorgieva2081]

Yes! Fortunately, cells have repair mechanisms which deal with this. However, it depends on the extent DNA molecule is damaged. Therefore, in most cases the repair mechanisms could repair the damaged DNA molecule. But, there is one big BUT and it says that if DNA damages are very extensive, the repair mechanisms are incapable of repairing and then this is the big problem ahead of the cell and of us....

Very interesting lecture,thank you,Milena!Thank you for staying and working in Bulgaria :D

[@AM-fk7rp]

Thanks for your great presentation...🌻🌻💐💐

[@milenageorgieva2081]

Great comment, thanks a lot :) I am also worried about the future and that's where scientists could help a lot by letting people know all the dangers around us in order to control and fight against them....

[@anagareca6736]

Great explanation! Thanks a lot!

[@tmom6519]

This is so informative. Thank you for this video. It helped me a lot in my theories of personality course.

[@bakhtiyorrakhmanov5131]

I'm interested in Epigenetics, I need learn it, any advice from you?

[@milenageorgieva2081]

+Bakhtiyor Rakhmanov Hello Bakhtiyor :) Epigenetics is a very progressive scientific field and there are so many brilliant articles, movies and books about it. You could check the following links: learn.genetics.utah.edu/content/epigenetics/ www.whatisepigenetics.com/fundamentals/ And I am available if further help is needed!

[@playsavedthechild.2848]

Milena. Do you think PLAY and exposure to nature could've had a profound effect on Autism? Bringing a child back to life?(living)

[@pendulumbestdeck5837]

Hey Ms. Alcantara's class, nice meeting you here for an assignment

[@arash4712]

Thank you for this video.

[@shulaatlanta]

Is there a transcript of this speech?

[@alisapitre7581]

Wonderful presentation!

[@lynziann123]

Thank you Milena! Great talk & very informative! Is DNA damage reversible? I hope so or I worry what lies ahead for our future generations.

[@Lastinterceptor]

"something" tell genoms to act differently gotta love the "science" half of the time they have no idea what are they looking at....

[@Funandconsciousness]

Good try Milena, but Bruce Lipton explains epigenetics REALLY well.

[@gulshanaalani3261]

WOW! So interesting. Such Scientific details are well explained in the Quran. Now I understand the Quranic messages on Diet-Food, actions etc. Now I understand why Muslims are told to follow the rules of Halal and Harram. After all, it is the Creator of the Universe has created our bodies too with stunning body parts. /Salaam/peace/A convert to Islam.

[@scienceislove2014]

This is poorly explained in almost all religious textbooks... Nothing special about your religion.. And halal and harram rule sucks..
