And right now, I'm student teaching. You're not leaving this hospital unless you have long-term birth control.". JAD: It makes a kind of common sense, really. You can do this. JAD: People can't just will themselves into a more perfect form. And I packed up my stuff, it's pretty much done. Barbara Harris's solution is simpler than anything else out there. She said, "Well, she's just beautiful and she has lips like a baby doll." Baby, be careful. It seemed to have been passed down for multiple generations. ROBERT: Okay.

She said, "Thank you so much for the gift, I bought my son an excavator truck, remote control and some summer outfits." But, I said this to Lynn, "Despite all the things that trouble me about Barbara's program, I feel like what she's trying to do is to stop a kid from getting born into a childhood that's going to suck.". Sincerely, Jennifer.". More information about Sloan at www.sloan.org.]. But what exactly Maybe you can explain this to me, Robert. I think I was really horrified and terrified.

In my naive mind, I didn't have a clue what a big deal this was. Most toads, he says, love to stay in the water. When Kammerer published his results initially, a bunch of scientists immediately began to say "Wait a minute, hold on here, it would be nice if life was like that but life isn't like that. ROBERT: So, somehow, by some chemical mechanism, starving grandpa, back when he was about 9 to 12 years old, turned out to be a good thing. The event that really sets this story in motion, the set of events, happened a few months after Barbara had brought Destiny home. Frankly, this makes being 9, 10, 11, 12 like a rather crucial. BARBARA HARRIS: And when I found out the bill didn't pass, I just thought, "I have to come up with something else. That's a lot of people. Visited Kammerer's lab when Kammerer wasn't there. So some scientists began to ask Kammerer if they could look at his toads. JAD: Many years later, he and this woman. And very often, one of them will just go crashing into the DNA and it'll stick there like a barnacle or a glob of peanut butter. Methylations, phosphorylation, and so on. JAD: Thats just the cold logic of Darwinian evolution. That's the headline for his talk, and then CARL ZIMMER: Right below the headlines says, "Scientist's great discovery which may change us all.". Okay, you want to say bye? And um Doctors would later explain to Barbara that Destiny's mom had been addicted to drugs while she was pregnant. OLOV BYGREN: Well It's one-fourth, we can we say. ", BARBARA HARRIS: And I called my husband again at work and said, "They want to know if we want to take the baby." Still, that's a burden that, he's carrying a big burden there.

That was nice. On the one hand, she says, immediately, cheques started arriving. ROBERT: Do you know anything about the other four? PAT: Which I find kind of hard to believe but, then again, I must have read at least 100 news articles as I was reporting this story. And one of them is called the thyroid system.

Kammerer puts on a suit and he walks off into the mountains Outside Vienna on a Rocky mountain trail. JAD: Well, if a mother a rat mother licking her baby can have such a profound effect, basically change the expression of the genes in the baby, well that's hopeful. My name is Jean Kean. I just didn't think. The question that was stuck in my head right then was, "If you could choose between being born knowing that your life might end up like that and not like it is now, or not been born at all, what would you have done?". JAD: What can't you? Well, yep, that is so true. a rat mother licking her baby can have such a profound effect, basically change the expression of the genes in the baby, well that's hopeful. JAD: Or very many of them right at all, but, you know, his basic idea seems to be true. FRANCES CHAMPAGNE: There's a normal distribution, right? And so, her name is Kalia. Theyd basically starve. ROBERT: And it just so happens this town is a perfect place to dig. I went to the hospital and picked him up. Truth is, we dont know precisely how this happens but somehow the experience of starvation marks the DNA. Heart disease. I want her to be able to look back on her life one day, maybe when she's getting interviewed, I don't know, and be able to say that, "Yes, my mom was there for me 100% without a doubt." And Destiny was in the other room, sleeping or something, I'm not sure. PAT: Yeah. Assuming that you can survive the ordeal, and you grow up, and you have kids of your own, the data seems to say that your kids will benefit from your suffering. The right hand had been cut off for microscopic slides. Except he had one. SAM KEAN: And at a time when you're not making the best decisions anyway. And she's a complete nut. JAD: Wait, when you say they can choose to be sterilized, you mean permanent? [ARCHIVAL Clip, News: Harris says her program, children requiring a caring community, or CRACK], [ARCHIVAL Clip, News: Can prevent thousands of unwanted births to drug-addicted women.

It's only the mechanisms are not so clear. "I want to thank you for your support and kindness as always." Well, this is it! SAM KEAN: And his lab ended up getting destroyed. PAT: It would be wrong to assume the women Barbara talks about on TV [ARCHIVAL CLIP, BARBARA HARRIS: These women don't just have one and two babies. OLOV BYGREN: It was very interesting discovery. JAD: I initially felt very hopeful and excited about this research because it seems to suggest that a body, one body can respond to an environment and change and be flexible in a way we didn't think was possible. The way she saw it, the state, the federal government, somebody Should say, "You're not doing this. ROBERT: Because there is more data, more information about the people of verkalix, going farther back into the past than you can find almost anywhere else on Earth. ROBERT: So, the thought is, when those little boys in verkalix were really, really hungry, their hunger started a chemical process that reached all the way down to the DNA inside the boy's sperm. JAD: [laughs] Youre just just judo, that's all this is. And the incredible thing is, those marks stick around. I like you, I get the sense that there's a lot of warmth in you. [laughs]. About 30 years ago-. Your support helps Radiolab continue to provoke, delight, and keep audiences curious. ROBERT: And that advantage, whatever it was, because it starts with one individual, and then it gets passed onto the kids, and then onto their kids, it would take a long, long, long time to spread through the whole population because, generally, that's how evolution works. That's really impressive. JAD: So we're going to leave you with a story from our producer, Pat Walters, about one woman's radical JAD: A few months ago, Pat made his way down in North Carolina, to a small suburb outside of Charlotte to visit this family. JAD: Just to be sure, we asked Frances Champagne what she thinks of this data. KARIN BORGKVIST LJUNG: Yes, he was retarded. You must have internet access to do this). JAD: To fellow named Jean-Baptiste Pierre Antoine de Monet, chevalier de Lamarck. I just have to read this to you. JAD: Serotonin gets into the brain cells, and according to Michael unleashes MICHAEL MEANEY: A whole series of molecular events inside the cell. If you were a great rat mommy, what would you be doing with your rat baby? Yes, but creating an assumption that there is a class of people who don't deserve to procreate, who aren't worthy of procreating the human race, leads you down a path that we should have great concern about. All these chemicals racing by crashing into it, sticking, and one of the bits that gets covered up is that little bit that makes the proteins that create a maternal instinct. CARL ZIMMER: Well, there was an expert on reptiles named G. Kingsley Noble. I'm almost done. That's my little girl. DESTINY HARRIS: Taylor Swift's Never Getting Back Together. Yeah. Lynn has become one of Barbara's fiercest critics. Plus, you know, Lamarck didn't get all the biological details right. SAM KEAN: Really slowly, gradually, achingly slowly. I don't like to upset people. Please welcome Barbara.]. Move on to the next cage, yes, no? Do you know anything about the other four? ROBERT: Rewrite their their blueprint? Kammerer thought, "Wow. JAD: Well think about it, this is nature and nurture slamming into each other. Do you have any theories for how this tongue is tickling the DNA, or whatever it's doing? His big idea, as you might know, is that what a person does in their lifetime could be directly passed to their kids. Michael and Frances looked inside the brains of these rats and what they saw was that the rats who had been licked a lot as babies, they had more stuff in their head. People can't just will themselves into a more perfect form. It is hosted by Lulu Miller and Latif Nasser. Where we began, they will accomplish. But here's what I did not know about DNA. OLOV BYGREN: Well, the DNA, the RNA, micro-RNAs, histone. They have found very similar effects for smoking, for instance. She did. Stretching got into the baby. JAD: I think all parents do this, is that you slip into this Lamarckian delusion that JAD: What you do with your kids can somehow rewrite all of that. There's going to be this massacre of toads and only a few lucky ones are going to survive. That, in a sort of ass backward way was Michael's question. Support Radiolab by becoming a member of The Lab today. You just have to weigh it, is it worth it? Where we began, they will accomplish. I mean, they didn't have porridge. JAD: Now, according to Carl, your genes are still fixed. She's 20 months old. One time, and I'm on flighter. And there were from the beginning. He'd fall asleep and just wake up screaming. Here, Kammerer's was saying, "You can do this even on a physical level.". JAD: Michael was in school and he got interested in a very, very basic question about how things get passed down? CARL ZIMMER: He was revealing it with experiments. Riksarkivet. JAD: Because here's the thing, the churches up in verkalix kept incredibly detailed records. So he actually went to Vienna. BARBARA HARRIS: It was just no baby should have to come into the world like that. This lady right here is still taking drugs and she could be pregnant again next month.]. And were trying to think about how do we keep it the same in a lot of ways, but also how do we let it grow into something beyond what it was originally built to be. FRANCES CHAMPAGNE: Not usually because it upsets people and I'm Canadian. PAT: When you first hear about this, what goes through your mind? He extended this idea to people. BARBARA HARRIS: Yes, she has the same name as me. In just two generations, these toads seem to have done something that should have taken, I don't know, 50, 100 generations? In this episode, originally aired in 2012, we put nature and nurture on a collision course and discover how outside forces can find a way inside us, and chan Were there any consequences? I agree with Lynn, that this program does perpetuate a stereotype. Through all the training that we had to do and first aid, fingerprinted and had a background check done. So this whole debate, two totally different ways of seeing life. And I packed up my stuff, it's pretty much done. JAD: How do those cycles perpetuate? I mean, were not gonna do that ourselves. This lady right here is still taking drugs and she could be pregnant again next month.]. I know! All right, I'll get in the water." SAM KEAN: Yeah, it was a very attractive theory to them in Moscow. And, I mean, I have straight A's and I'm making it work. BARBARA HARRIS: A couple of days later, I had already bonded with her so much, it was as if I gave birth to her.

We have experts even in very specific fields of study, so you will definitely find a writer who can manage your order. It's a little odd, actually. And then they're going to basically revel at that particular spot and turn on that gene. Apparently, those grandkids SAM KEAN: Were less prone to diabetes. JAD: Famine again, and these changes would just bounce back and forth. He's the guy who told us about Olov's work. This is spooky because it's like JAD: It means what if grandpa has a bad day?
