The overwhelming success of genetics and molecular biology in the 1970s had an unfortunate side effect. DNA became the 'be-all' and 'end-all' of biology, and “the selfish gene” became the new secular pop religion. Physiology and medicine suffered great blows from this shift. The human genome project, though valuable, did not deliver even 10% of what it promised, and the consequences to healthcare have been devastating. The new book Understanding Living Systems by Raymond and Denis Noble is an easy-to-read guide to the New Biology that brings purpose back into nature and respects the agency and autonomy of each organism and its systems. Denis Noble website: https://www.dpag.ox.ac.uk/team/denis-nobleRay Noble website: https://iris.ucl.ac.uk/iris/browse/profile?upi=RNOBL24 Hosted on Acast.

Bryan Trilli is a serial entrepreneur who owns a company called Optimized Marketing that trains machine learning programmers to write better code. In this interview, he forcefully challenges the fiction of the “AI Singularity” showing that it’s impossible for this to happen given current technology. Consequently, we are asking all of the wrong questions. In this interview, we discuss what the real questions are.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Occam's Razor says the simplest explanation is the best. While its application has many subtleties, it tells us that the best model of theory is the one that's most elegant and invokes the fewest extraneous explanations. Johnjoe McFadden is a professor at the University of Surrey in the UK and we discuss simplicity and the mind-bending world of quantum biology.Website: https://johnjoemcfadden.co.uk/ Hosted on Acast.

Scott Ransom, an author dedicated to reconciling modern evolutionary science with ancient Hebrew texts, shares his fascinating journey from a childhood curiosity about dinosaurs to writing insightful literature. He discusses the clash between faith and scientific beliefs, emphasizing the need for critical thinking. Ransom examines the significance of Genesis in shaping worldviews and advocates for a dialogue that harmonizes faith with scientific understanding, addressing ethical dilemmas and the philosophical foundations of human rights.

Did you know that 99% of the sounds in nature are at frequencies we cannot hear? Karen Bakker opens up an entire universe of sounds and communication between elephants, whales, moths, trees, tissues and even cells. The world around us is buzzing with communication and meaning that few of us ever suspected. Karen’s book The Sounds of Life: How Digital Technology Is Bringing Us Closer to the Worlds of Animals and Plants tells stories that will amaze you and she shares some of them in this interview.
