<p>Dr. Ned Farley: Sustainability is kind of the new topic, and when I say new it’s about ten years old but, it’s new for academics. It’s a new topic of discussion because anthropologists always look at the past more than the future, but what we have realized is that we cannot ignore one for the other. The past, the present, the future, they are all intertwined into culture, and how people use their culture, how they carry it, how they experience it. And so that, kind of in a fast nutshell there, really was a cause in sparking my interest in your proposal and the potential outcomes for that because, and I’ve even brought this up in my anthropology class, the idea of being able to increase rates of sustainability with little to no overhead or capital investment is exactly what humans have looked for since they started writing things down on paper. When we take a look at, for instance, domestication, the domestication of maize [eventually corn] allows people to live in urban environments in the southwest. It is a means of survival; it allows them to grow into large numbers and to flourish….. And so when you came to me yesterday, I think your concern was really great because even though it is not a direct laboratory concern, and that is really where your energies have been spent. You will transform the culture no matter what you do, no matter how hard you try not to, you are always going to affect it. What is awesome about your study is that they could create enough surplus where they could feed themselves. So, now it becomes indigenous again where I live off my herd, and sell it for cash. Right? And that’s powerful. If you can do that without disturbing the balance between biology and culture. You win, hands down. </p> | <p>Dr. Ned Farley: Sustainability is kind of the new topic, and when I say new it’s about ten years old but, it’s new for academics.

Our Project
Dr. Farley on Indigenous Peoples
How will our project affect the sustainability and cultures of indigenous peoples?
Dr. Ned Farley: Sustainability is kind of the new topic, and when I say new it’s about ten years old but, it’s new for academics. It’s a new topic of discussion because anthropologists always look at the past more than the future, but what we have realized is that we cannot ignore one for the other. The past, the present, the future, they are all intertwined into culture, and how people use their culture, how they carry it, how they experience it. And so that, kind of in a fast nutshell there, really was a cause in sparking my interest in your proposal and the potential outcomes for that because, and I’ve even brought this up in my anthropology class, the idea of being able to increase rates of sustainability with little to no overhead or capital investment is exactly what humans have looked for since they started writing things down on paper. When we take a look at, for instance, domestication, the domestication of maize [eventually corn] allows people to live in urban environments in the southwest. It is a means of survival; it allows them to grow into large numbers and to flourish….. And so when you came to me yesterday, I think your concern was really great because even though it is not a direct laboratory concern, and that is really where your energies have been spent. You will transform the culture no matter what you do, no matter how hard you try not to, you are always going to affect it. What is awesome about your study is that they could create enough surplus where they could feed themselves. So, now it becomes indigenous again where I live off my herd, and sell it for cash. Right? And that’s powerful. If you can do that without disturbing the balance between biology and culture. You win, hands down.
The Final Product
This combinatory part is a self contained secretion system that combines a secretion and purification tag, a tripartite pump that is specific to the sec tag, a antinorovirus particle like antibody, Tse2 toxin mediated horizontal gene transfer mechanism.
