At the Edge of Quantum Biology - Dr. Clarice Aiello, UCLA

May 21, 2023

Dr. Clarice D. Aiello, a quantum engineer studying how subatomic physics affects biology, discusses topics such as quantum biology, superposition of spin states, defining spin and bonafide superposition, the wave character of spin, the mysticism of quantum, quantum conditional reactions, biophotons, magnetic fields and embryogenesis, birds, electromagnetic treatments in biology, and creating a scientific field in "The DemystifySci Podcast".

Dr. Clarice D. Aiello is a quantum engineer studying how subatomic physics affects biology. She has engineered quantum nanosensors that harness ambient systemic energies. Our conversation begins with the mechanics of electron spin and in the end imagines how cheap, readily available, technology - like that found in your cellphone - might be used in the future for personal quantum diagnostics and healing. It sounds far out but it's solidly grounded in empirical lab work. Let us know what you think!

When not talking to brilliant people or making movies, she spends her time painting, reading, and guiding backcountry excursions. Shilo also did his PhD at Columbia studying the elastic properties of molecular water. When he's not in the film studio, he's exploring sound in music. They are both freelance professors at various universities. - Blog: http://DemystifySci.com/blog - RSS: https://anchor.fm/s/2be66934/podcast/rss - Donate: https://bit.ly/3wkPqaD - Swag: https://bit.ly/2PXdC2y SOCIAL: - Discord: https://discord.gg/MJzKT8CQub - Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/DemystifySci - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/DemystifySci/ - Twitter: https://twitter.com/DemystifySci MUSIC: -Shilo Delay: https://g.co/kgs/oty671
