The Juicecast Ep. 26 - Funding cryopreservation research with crypto: Dr. Emil Kendziorra & Kai Micah Mills from CryoDAO
Are you ready to learn about all things life extension, cryopreservation and cryptography? Even though the connection isn’t immediately obvious, there is a huge overlap between thinkers interested in cryptography, building for the future, and life extension, and today’s episode with Dr. Emil Kenziorra and Kai Micah Mills from CryoDAO will get into some of the reasons behind this. CryoDAO’s mission is to fund high-impact cryopreservation research to increase the quality and capabilities of cryopreservation.
In this episode we’ll dive into why both Emil and Kai left academia behind for cryonics research, CryoDAO’s mission and the overlap between crypto and cryonics, why science should be decentralized, as well as some common misconceptions about cryopreservation. We hope you enjoy this week’s episode.
