1 00:00:05,190 --> 00:00:03,030 hello everyone my name is jen pong and 2 00:00:07,430 --> 00:00:05,200 i'm a postdoc from david baum's lab at 3 00:00:09,350 --> 00:00:07,440 wisconsin institute for discovery 4 00:00:11,030 --> 00:00:09,360 we are generally interested in using 5 00:00:13,190 --> 00:00:11,040 interdisciplinary approaches 6 00:00:15,270 --> 00:00:13,200 to investigate how life originated from 7 00:00:17,510 --> 00:00:15,280 simple abiotic materials 8 00:00:19,830 --> 00:00:17,520 in this study we proposed the concept of 9 00:00:22,470 --> 00:00:19,840 c-dependent auto-catalytic system 10 00:00:23,269 --> 00:00:22,480 stats we detected multiple stances among 11 00:00:25,750 --> 00:00:23,279 abiotic 12 00:00:27,990 --> 00:00:25,760 and biotic reactions and also found that 13 00:00:29,990 --> 00:00:28,000 the step-wise activation of stasis 14 00:00:32,229 --> 00:00:30,000 provides a mechanism for a reaction 15 00:00:34,870 --> 00:00:32,239 network to complexify over time 16 00:00:36,790 --> 00:00:34,880 and better exploit the environment we 17 00:00:37,430 --> 00:00:36,800 found that stats organized reaction 18 00:00:39,270 --> 00:00:37,440 networks 19 00:00:41,430 --> 00:00:39,280 could potentially exhibit multiple 20 00:00:43,830 --> 00:00:41,440 life-like features such as seeding 21 00:00:45,190 --> 00:00:43,840 trophic hierarchy and mutualism even 22 00:00:46,950 --> 00:00:45,200 without enzymes 23 00:00:49,190 --> 00:00:46,960 this means that the stats-based 24 00:00:49,750 --> 00:00:49,200 mechanism may not only be of theoretical 25 00:00:51,990 --> 00:00:49,760 values 26 00:00:52,950 --> 00:00:52,000 but also could direct experimental 27 00:00:55,029 --> 00:00:52,960 studies 28 00:00:57,430 --> 00:00:55,039 with that i'd like to thank all members 29 00:00:58,790 --> 00:00:57,440 of our lab our friends and collaborators
