Biotechnology Materializes from Yellowstone | Science Matters

The word biotechnology brings to mind images of researchers developing new diagnostic tests and drugs in futuristic labs; new methods of farming and food production that meet the requirements of a growing population; and environmentally friendly products that replace petrochemically derived non-biodegradable materials that can linger in landfills for decades. A large portion of this future — and the present — can be traced to hot springs, some of them located in Yellowstone National Park, and field work conducted by a pair of scientists beginning in the 1960s. *voiceover created by ElevenLabs, an AI generation service #yellowstone #science #scienceandtechnology #podcast #chemistry #dna #pcr #nobelprize #nobel
