    Anxiety, meet creativity
    (Radio Adelaide, 2013) Greenberg, Gary; Goldsworthy, Anna; Drew, Peter; Adelaide Festival Corporation
    The philosopher Søren Kierkegaard argued that anxiety is essential for creativity - as a dual force it can be both destructive and generative, depending on how we approach it. Author and psychotherapist Gary Greenberg, writer and pianist Anna Goldsworthy and artist Peter Drew discuss whether inner angst helps or hinders the creative process, and how they channel their inner demons without assuming the foetal position.

    Art costs; entertainment pays
    (Radio Adelaide, 2013) Meyrick, Julian; Bovell, Andrew; Archer, Robyn
    Art doesn't pay but addresses the things we value most deeply. Monetary value is not a primary issue; but neither is it an insignificant one. When "entertainment" does pay, how do the arts and entertainment sit alongside each other? Julian Meyrick, Andrew Bovell and Robyn Archer ask how can and should we value the arts, and the people and organisations that deliver them?

    (Radio Adelaide, 2013) Dryza, Kristina; Chen, Rick; Lee, Mike; Adelaide Festival Corporation
    We all like certainty and the comfort it brings to our lives, but why do some of us have an ongoing need to explore beyond the boundaries of the familiar? We meet innovative scientists, artists and entrepreneurs who are willing to take a leap of faith to explore new frontiers in arts, science and society. With Kristina Dryza, Rick Chen and Mike Lee.

    Crosstalk between Dpp and Tor signaling coordinates autophagy-dependent midgut degradation
    (Nature Publishing Group, 2019) Denton, D.; Xu, T.; Dayan, S.; Nicolson, S.; Kumar, S.
    The majority of developmentally programmed cell death (PCD) is mediated by caspase-dependent apoptosis; however, additional modalities, including autophagy-dependent cell death, have important spatiotemporally restricted functions. Autophagy involves the engulfment of cytoplasmic components in a double membrane vesicle for delivery to the lysosome. An established model for autophagy-dependent PCD is Drosophila larval midgut removal during metamorphosis. Our previous work demonstrated that growth arrest is required to initiate autophagy-dependent midgut degradation and Target of rapamycin (Tor) limits autophagy induction. In further studies, we uncovered a role for Decapentaplegic (Dpp) in coordinating midgut degradation. Here, we provide new data to show that Dpp interacts with Tor during midgut degradation. Inhibiting Tor rescued the block in midgut degradation due to Dpp signaling. We propose that Dpp is upstream of Tor and down-regulation promotes growth arrest and autophagy-dependent midgut degradation. These findings underscore a relationship between Dpp and Tor signaling in the regulation of cell growth and tissue removal.

    For starters, they probably don’t have eyes
    (Radio Adelaide, 2013) Pickles, Steven; Williams, Sean
    A thorough debunking of the conventional notion of extraterrestrial life. We consider the likely possibility that alien life is non-humanoid, non-lingual and even non carbon-based. Steven Pickles and Sean Williams examine the sheer variety of potential alien environments, as well as the value of thinking about our own civilisation from a non-human, post-cultural perspective.
