Keith BeaversHOST
It cannot self-propel and it does not fly.
Keith BeaversHOST
So what's going on? So we established in the last episode that at the University of Florence, it was proven that Saccharomyces cannot move by itself.
Keith BeaversHOST
It needs a vector.
Keith BeaversHOST
And I didn't mention the actual professor.
David BrownHOST
He has a doctor of science, honorary, from the Florida International University.
David BrownHOST
He has an MD, doctor of medicine, honorary, awarded by Florence University.
David BrownHOST
And he has a doctorate of technology, honorary, awarded by Florida as well.
David BrownHOST
As you said, David, I didn't hear anything that he's earned there.
Keith BeaversHOST
Saccharomyces cerevisiae makes wine.
Keith BeaversHOST
And this was all proved by the University of Florence, which concluded that paper wasps and hornets, and additionally fruit flies, carry beneficial yeast into the winery.

Matt KirshenHOST
Even decades later, a grain only a few micrometers across can retain a detailed record of conditions that existed only for a fraction of a second, he said.
Matt KirshenHOST
These particles are not simply melted debris, they are physical archives of the explosion.
Gigi BerardiGUEST
So that started in, true, in Palenzo, so farther north, but there was always this connection to Florence.
Gigi BerardiGUEST
Then after a few years, we got involved with the University of Florence in sensory sciences.
Gigi BerardiGUEST
and had the program there.

So understand that I was exploring as much of Florence as I could in a very deep way.
