#10: The Prospects of Nuclear Power with Thomas Eiden
<p>Today I’m speaking with Thomas Eiden. Thomas is a nuclear engineer and the founder and CEO of Atomic Alchemy. His startup manufactures radioisotopes, which are used in nuclear medicine—a specialized area of radiology that is critical for diagnosing and treating diseases like cancer. However, as Thomas has previously worked at several national labs, where he designed reactor cores, components, and the experiments to test them, our conversation mainly focuses on nuclear power. We cover everything from the bottlenecks for a nuclear renaissance, lost industrial knowledge, different perspectives on risk, and the wealth of possible futures powered by atomic energy. </p> <p>=> <a href="https://leadegen.com/index.php/frontiers/10-thomas-eiden/">Shownotes</a></p>

#9 - Studying Longevity with Morgan Levine
<p>Today I’m speaking with Morgan Levine. Morgan is an assistant professor at Yale’s Pathology department and runs a lab that aims to discover both the mechanisms that drive aging and interventions to slow or reverse that process. The lab also develops tools to measure biological age, which we will get into in our discussion of epigenetic clocks.</p> <p>Aging has long been assumed to be our insurmountable human fate. But as research of the past years has uncovered aging’s malleability in some model organisms, the hope to slow or reverse the aging process in humans has become an increasingly attractive goal. And given that age is the greatest risk factor for developing many of the most common lethal diseases today, longevity research could potentially be extremely impactful both for prolonged health- and lifespans. </p> <p>Morgan and I don’t go super deep into the science as I try to get a broad overview of the field and some of its structural challenges—but you can learn more about epigenetic clocks in the show notes linked below. </p> <p>=> <a href="https://leadegen.com/index.php/frontiers/9-morgan-levine/">Shownotes</a></p>

#8 - Problem-Solving for Sustainability with Olya Irzak
<p>Today I’m speaking with Olya Irzak. Olya runs Frost Methane, a company that develops technology to mitigate climate change. Together, her team invented a device to flare leaks to reduce methane emissions. As methane is responsible for 20% of global warming and is 28x more potent than CO2, Frost Methane aims to find and mitigate methane leaks in permafrost, coal mines, and other sources worldwide. Needless to say, her approach is an example of the action-prone, tech-driven innovation that environmental challenges require.</p> <p>=> <a href="https://leadegen.com/index.php/frontiers/8-olya-irzak/" target="_blank">Shownotes</a></p>
