>> we are right above the biosafety level-4 labs in the mechanical space. this serves the labs. the majority of what you see, these are housing. hefa, higher efficiency particulate air filters. they filter out particles, and think viruses. >> air goes through the hepar filter twice before being released to the outside world. liquid waste is treated in a different way. >> these walls have double wall piping. we have a sample here. >> reporter: what is the point of the pipe within the pipe. >> if the inner pipe that the liquid is flowing through develops a leak, it would flow into the outer pipe and become tamed. there is senses there alerting the building automation system. there would be an alarm. >> waste is disinfected, and it flows to the tanks, where they are heated at 120 degrees for 60 minutes, to kill off anything that might remain. and then, of course, there's the human factor. >> i'll tell by the positive pressure suit that we wear in the bsl-4. and i'll hopefully get you into this. >> reporter: okay, i've got my right? >> not quite. you have jewellery on, rings, diamon

i started the media lab as an off-shoot of that, where the focus of the media lab would be human computer interaction. a couple of interesting things were happening at the same time. the personal computer was being invented. it was clear that telecommunications was gonna become, you know, much more widely available at lower costs and bigger reach. and it was also clear that in this digital transformation, things that we call television news, newspapers, magazines, computers, and all these things would kind of merge into one. many people were pouring money into the media lab, so it was like sort of the golden goose laying the golden eggs. plus we had a trump card. the trump card was my partner in starting the media lab, 'cause i'm often introduced rightfully as the co-founder. nobody asked who the other was. the other was a man named jerry wiesner. jerry was jack kennedy's science advisor, 25 years older than i. but it was his baby too, he loved it. he just happened to be the president of mit. we had license to do things, which, you know, i can be a little revisionist and tell you it's all

been crossing through that you have a mobile crime lab that has been set up there; correct? >> yes. actually, yeah, the state police has multiple mobile crime labs and so they will respond to, you know, larger scenes and process the scenes there rather than removing the evidence and taking it to a lab facility. >> and just to confirm again, at this juncture, authorities say only one shooter and that person is no longer a threat. >> that's correct. >> thank you very much, sergeant, for joining us. sergeant aaron donebar with the roseburg police department still investigating the multiple shooting on the campus of umpqua community college today in roseburg, oregon. thank you for joining us on al jazeera america. >>> j.j. green is al jazeera's national security contributor joining us by phone from washington. what would be the next step for homeland security? what role would they will playing in the investigation of the shooting? >> this is going to be a situation where the police and local authorities and federal authorities are going to be involved in the investigation part o

alex tells me they take a test in the chemistry lab on safety. you have to get a 100% on the test before you are allowed to continue in the lab. what went wrong here is still a mystery. we don't know what the fairfax county school policy is on working with particular chemicals in that classroom, but clearly those are questions we'll be asking. live in woodson high school in fairfax, bruce leshan, wusa 9. >> medics air lifted the two most serious victims to washington burn center. their injuries are reportedly life-threatening. niki burdine joins us from the hospital where first responders took the other victims. niki? >> reporter: we can't tell you much about the victims because hospital officials are still trying to confirm the infoation themselves. i did just get off the phone with a public relations officer here at innova fairfax. five students hurt, one teacher. two victims flown to washington med star with life-threatening injuries. three taken here to innova with nonlife-threatening injuries. the teacher had nonlife- threatening injuries as

in singapore is extracted and analyzed in wasser's lab. the dna from the tusks is then matched against a genetic reference map of africa's elephant populations. this map has been generated by dna taken from another source, rich in elephant dna. >> i am holding a tray of elephant poop. not exactly something you'd associate as a tool for fighting international crime, but these samples provide critical pieces of data for creating a genetic map of elephants across africa. >> yep, collecting dung samples may not be glamorous work but it's a task wasser and his team take seriously. >> we make the map from the dung, we take genetic markers out of the dung samples. so, you see here this map of africa? so there's about 1400 total samples here and each sample is from a separate family group. >> wasser was able to determine the origin of the 6 and a half tons of ivory seized in singapore and shipped out of malawi. it all came from a neighboring country, zambia. wasser's team had made a discovery that would revolutionize law enforcement's approach to

i'll break down the entire tom: state police forensic lab apparently seeing more and more heroin and fentanyl cases than ever before. jennifer: one-third of the cases it now analyzes includes one of these drugs or combination of the two. heather hamel is here with details on how the lab is getting about 200 more cases a month than it can process. reporter: the director of the lab says he dealt with the crack cocaine crisis of the 80's and nines, followed by the pharmaceutical drug abuse, but nothing compares to this epidemic. with each sample taking one to two hours to analyze, dealing with all these cases is a tall criminalists at the state police lab are pulling 12-hour days and scrambling to meet the demand, and the heroin and opioid crisis isn't making it easy. these folders represent their backlog of approximately 3800 cases. they get about 750 new cases a month, but can only analyze about 500 in that time frame. >> the result is each mob the backlog continues to grow. reporter: they say the heroin cases are now the second highest submission they receive, only surpassed by marij

so, yes, we have a huge number of tests that are available through our lab. but instead of charging $10,000 for them, we're charging $2.99. >> okay. >> this is listed on the walgreens website. we've put it in our own press and it's been out there. >> how many tests can your device edison do? "the wall street journal" says it can only do 15 out of 240. >> yes. so we had communicated to "the wall street journal" that we have submitted over 130 presubmissions to fda with tests running on our proprietary devices and have been taking those through the fda's submission process. every test that we offer in our laboratory can run on our proprietary devices we bring tests up on our proprietary devices based on the frequency with which they're run. so at any given point in time we're running the tests that are most commonly ordered, but we've also done a lot of work as part of this commitment that we've made. and it's been very controversial that we've actually become the first company advocating for fda regulation of lab-developed tests. and as part of that we have sa

when a fire started inside of the chemistry lab. we are not sure how that fire started five students are injured and two of them received life-threatening injuries. three of them were transported by ground to a fairfax hospital. threateningok-alike injuries, they were transported to washington hospital center's earn unit. we did get to talk to a student and a parent and here's what they have to say. i the fire alarm went off and thought it was just a drill, but we were hearing from people that someone caught on fire and we realized it was serious. i just went to my car and drove over here to see what's going on. it's crazy. when's always concerning you get a text that the school has been evacuated because of the fire. when i heard it was a chemistry lab, i thought it was a gas-fired. from the information i heard from the stands, there are a lot of rumors going around and it sounds more chemical and gas. we also know that a teacher was injured in this incident. however, the teacher remained here on the scene. this was an early dismis

roca labs troubles weren't over. the federal trade commission saw the terms and conditions which contained a gag clause prohib prohibiting a customer to make negative comments the very thing she complained about and a lawsuit was filed claiming it's unfair. >> it's depriving customers from making informed consent decis n decisions. >> they wouldn't reply to us. it admits in order for customers to buy the product at a discount, customers had to agree to not disparage roca labs but denies using any clause that harms the public in any way. >> i should be able to post negative feedback. the consumer should be able to post negative feedback. >> when it comes to gag clauses they appear to be legal and news4 only found one state where they're banned and that would be california. >>> how are we looking? >> it is beautiful. everybody is wondering about halloween, so many activities going on friday night and saturday night. right now, they look pretty good but on the cool side. cloud cover across the region. temperatures of 61

she visited his high security lab at the harbor-ucla medical center. >> in a safe that's bolted to the ground behind one locked door and then behind this other one here, researchers at harbor-ucla medical center keep their mdma under lock and key, literally. >> grob says that as controversial as the drug is today, it wasn't initially viewed as an illegal street drug. >> research of psychedelic compounds in the 50s and early/mid 60s was really the cutting edge of psychiatric research. there was great excitement and enthusiasm about the range of effects of these drugs, how they might facilitate our understanding of the brain. unfortunately by the mid/late 60s it became associated with a politically active counter culture. >> recreational use of psychedelics was on the rise. so were overdoses and deaths associated with them. so doctor grob says that pressure against psychedelic research began to build. >> there was a great deal of cultural upheaval and by and large, primarily for political reasons, all research by the early 70s was repressed. >> for years, mdma had flown beneath governmen

now we are getting a look at an historic chemistry lab at the university of virginia. lab was discovered when they renovated rotunda. 1820's was built in the and was bricked over in the 1840's. >> because of the geometry of the building, it survived a and survived 1895 major renovations in the 1970's. fewye: it is one of only a labs of its kind in the world, and the only one in the u.s. to incorporated into a visitor center in the rotunda opening next year. after two years of renovation, the smithsonian's redwood gallery will reopen next month. 56 year-oldhe 1 structure may be under wraps, but there is a flurry of activity and side the first building in the united states specifically designed as an art museum gets a facelift. >> mechanical systems, heat and temperature control, plumbing, all the basics. we could do a much better job by closing the building and addressing all these issues. reporter: preserving an historic structure and updating it for 21st-century art installations. >> every room had a different extent of damages and disrepair. through history, from the

every second it sends air samples down to two isotope analyzers in a makeshift lab below. and if you are wondering why they are strapped down... >> we're up at the front of the ship so uh it's making some noise, hitting some ice? >> yeah, that's crashing through ice which is why we have all this strapped down. >> the isotope sniffer is being tested by jeff welker and eric klein - both scientists for the arctic domain awareness center at the university of alaska, anchorage. >> so when we're out here and we're getting this air in, to us it's just kind of misty, arctic air... >> but what you don't see are all the different isotopic compositions that will change depending on how much sea ice is there, the humidity, the temperature. >> contamination will also change the isotopic composition of the air - like oil. >> like shell in the arctic here we want to make sure we're well aware of any mishaps that might occur very early. well our vision is to take this device, put it inside a noaa buoy and then circle those buoys around an oil platform so that then we have guardians of thi
