Can yeast be the new Breaking Bad? | Żaneta Matuszek | TEDxUniversityofWarsaw

Have you ever wondered how it feels to be a yeast and be stressed at the same time? Żaneta will tell you something about that! In her speech she reveals the extreme potential of using yeast to facilitate basic research, treat serious illnesses or produce drugs. You will also learn why free-radicals are very similar to a couple after breakup and how to use that knowledge to improve the condition of our health. Żaneta Matuszek is a molecular biologist. Her scientific focus is RNA particles and their metabolism in eukaryotic cells. She spends most of her time around yeasts, but sometimes she happen to go out and meet people. Whenever she has an opportunity, she contribute to popularisation of science with great joy. She loves music, English sense of humour, and penguins. In her free time, while she is not travelling, she plays the piano, sing, and watch funny videos on the Internet. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
