Revealing Our Human Evolution Mystery Through Ancient Fossils With Chris Stringer
In this episode, physical anthropologist and archaeologist Chris Stringer joins us to explore fossil records and what they tell us about the birth of our species and its staying power on Earth.
Chris is known as one of the leading proponents of the “Recent African Origins” hypothesis, which is currently the most widely accepted model for the origin of our species.

The Free Energy Principle in Our Daily Life With Karl Friston
In this episode, theoretical neuroscientist and authority on brain imaging Karl Friston, helps us understand his Free Energy Principle (FEP) for how life works and evolves.
We tackle this theory from five different perspectives to gain a deeper understanding; all the way from RNA and primordial soup to the future and safety of artificial intelligence.
The Free Energy Principle describes with mathematical precision how the brain conserves energy by minimizing surprise. Life at every scale of organization, from single cells to the human brain, is driven by the same universal imperative. This idea has a very great influence and affects the way we work and organize ourselves socially.
But how does this abstract principle translate into our everyday lives? The brain is continuously engaged in an act of interpretation called active inference that explains how we actively forage in the world for evidence that best satisfies our expectations.
Active inference is a corollary of the FEP and…

How to Protect Your Future Baby From Inheriting Genetic Susceptibility to Disease With Noor Siddiqui
In this episode our guest is Noor Siddiqui, founder and CEO of Orchid. Noor explains her mission behind Orchid helping couples achieve parenthood and healthy babies through genetic risk and single cell testing.
We dive deep into the history of reproductive technology. Noor takes us along the journey from old days where birth control was obscene and controversial, to modern days with ultra high resolution genetic testing systems for couples, advanced embryo screening for families going through IVF and single cell sequencing.
Understanding genetic risk impacts your lifestyle, your choices and can change the course of any possible diseases. Testing before your child is conceived gives you the best chance of mitigating risk.
Couples can safely reduce their future children’s genetic risk for the most common diseases and avoid suffering from similar conditions they have dealt with during their own lives.

This Is How Science Will Cure Diseases and End Hunger With Melinda Kliegman
CRISPR stands for Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats and it is a genome editing technology that allows scientists to cut DNA with precision and insert or delete DNA to correct unwanted mutations.
In this episode I talk with Melinda Kliegman about this tool that was discovered ten years ago and how it can benefit humanity by healing genetic disease, by enabling a sustainable agriculture to ensure food security, by helping achieve a carbon-neutral economy to sustain the environment, and making it accessible and affordable to all.
IGI tries to align genome-engineering innovations with societal values. Public education, sharing resources and guiding the ethical use of genome engineering are meant to serve the public so it is crucial that as many people as possible engage in CRISPR, genome editing, and the ethical implications of genetic engineering dialogues. This informs scientists ongoing work and helps them with accurate decision making.

Dr. Joshua Bongard & Dr. Michael Levin on All You Need to Know About Coexisting With Living Robots
Not long ago a machine designed by a computer and constructed of living cells was something crazy to imagine. Not anymore. In this episode I talk with Josh Bongard and Mike Levin about how this is becoming a reality.
There are lots of physical possibilities for how animals and robots can coexist but we have only explored a small part of the morphology design space.
Life began on Earth at least 3.5 to 4 billion years ago, and it has been evolving ever since. The diversity of life on Earth today is the result of evolution that occurs by natural selection. But, in the next 100 plus years there won’t just be plants, animals and humans from natural selection, there will also be computational designed organisms from AI.
Computational designed organisms are living machines inspired by the designs and capabilities of biology and computing. These “biobots” are a new form of artificial intelligence.

Genetic Screening to Rewrite Future Generations with Stephen Hsu
Genetic Screening is a DNA tool that predicts traits, including height, physical appearance, IQ and illnesses such as heart disease, cancer and many more which are known to be heritable.
The genetic component is spread over thousands of DNA regions. In the past decade, extensive genetic databases can screen for these traits. Through analyzing genes, it is possible to calculate polygenic risk scores, which give a person’s plausibility of getting some kind of disease or having a certain trait.
In this episode, Stephen and I talk about genetic screening and how embryo screening fits into this risk forecasting. Couples who are undergoing IVF treatment, have access now to information that gives them another option to pick the healthiest embryo. Stephen believes this tool will create some inequality in the short term but equality in the long term.
We dive deep into how genes are going to be changing in the next ten or fifteen years. With rapid advances in genome sequencing, genetic anal…
