Telescope the size of the entire earth, you can actually see with enough resolution you can watch things just swirling around disappearing into the black hole. were basically taking every sublinear telescope in the world to synthesize one telescope thats 11,000 kilometers across, basically the size of the entire earth. >> anthony: really? >> dan: so that we can take the picture of the black hole at the center of our galaxy. >> anthony: wow. south pole is particularly useful because -- >> dan: th...

Black holes look like, but no ones ever actually looked at one and if you can build a telescope the size of the entire earth, you can actually see with enough resolution you can watch things just swirling around disappearing into the black hole. were basically taking every sublinear telescope in the world to synthesize one telescope thats 11,000 kilometers across, basically the size of the entire earth. >> anthony: really? >> dan: so that we can take the picture of the black hole at the center o...

Hushed tones of near fetishistic appreciation. staying over at lake hoare is a rare privilege enjoyed by few, like dr. michael gooseff, a hydro-ecologist and dr. byron adams, a biologist. >> anthony: so what are you looking at our here? >> michael: everything that lives here lives in the soil. we study the soil organisms mostly the animals the animals that live here, but also the microbes that those animals feed off of. >> anthony: right. >> byron: this is just a marker that tells us to stay on ...

Dna in space. can you tell us about that? >> that was actually just this last summer and it is a real example of what we can do with technology and innovation. weve gotten a sequencer down to the size of your cell phone and able to fly it on the space station and sequence dna. not just a demonstration but we can actually use it to do things like detect microbes on the space station, look at astronaut health and easily use that in earth-based settings to look for disease outbreaks and to do rural...

First person to sequence dn i space. can you tell us about that? >> yes. justes, that was actually justt summer. and its a real example of what we can do with technology and innovation. weve got the sequencer down to the size of your cell phone and we were able to fly that onboard the space station. we can use that to do things like detect microbes on the space station, we can easily use that in earth-based settings to look for disease outbreaks and rural health care as well. >> that is fantasti...

Protected. and theres no way to stop that. because fighting aids, or fighting the flu and sars in asia benefits people in europe and in north america. so we need to go beyond the boundaries of our own countries. >> the networks that connect us accelerate everything, the spread of ideas, conflict, people, and microbes, there is no running away. there is no wall high enough. >> whats absolutely missing, just not there, is trust. and so coming up with preparedness that looks like it could stand up ...
