Episode #009 - Not your average Longevity - with Dmitry Kaminskiy
<p>Today we discuss how to live longer, longevity escape velocity, ethics of longevity, and the longevity industry. </p> <p>Your host of this episode is: Geneticist and Futurologist Dr. Axel Schumacher (@MethyLogix).</p> <p>Our Guest tonight: Dmitry Kaminskiy, an innovative entrepreneur and investor active in the fields of Longevity, Precision Medicine, and Artificial Intelligence. He is co-founder and managing partner at Deep Knowledge Ventures, a leading investment fund focused on DeepTech, renowned for its use of sophisticated analytical systems for investment target identification and due diligence. </p> <p>He is a frequent speaker on AI and Longevity, and was actively involved in the work of the initiative group, and was instrumental at the initial stage of the launch of Longevity International CIC, the secretariat for the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Longevity in the UK Parliament. He now serves as co-director of the secretariat, overseeing the Longevity International’s cooperation development division.</p> <p>Deep Knowledge Ventures Investment Fund and its analytical subsidiary Deep Knowledge Analytics are particularly active in the AI for Drug Discovery sector, starting with its 2014 seed investment in industry leader Insilico Medicine, whereas the Pharma Division of Deep Knowledge Analytics has become the unparalleled leader of deep quantitative analysis of the AI for Drug Discovery sector. Aging Analytics Agency is the Longevity-focused analytical subsidiary of Deep Knowledge Ventures and currently serves as the Longevity, Preventive Precision Medicine and Economics of Aging data analytics source for the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Longevity.</p> <p>Dmitry’s $1 million USD prize for the first person to reach their 123rd birthday went viral and was widely covered by the world’s top media. The current lifespan record is 122.5 years, achieved by Jeanne Calment in 1997, which has remained unchanged despite the tremendous advances in biomedicine and in our understanding of the aging process that has occurred since that time. Kaminskiy chose to launch this prize in order to promote Healthy Longevity, and to motivate people to maximize their own Healthy Longevity. </p> <p>Dmitry adheres to the principle of “Impact Investing” in all his business activities, believing that business should intentionally make a significant impact for social good.

Episode #008 - Only here for the age reversal - with Prof. George Church
<p>Today we discuss age reversal, can we live forever, plant-based meats, the resurrecting of the Woolly mammoth, and climate change resilience. </p> <p>Your hosts of this episode are: Geneticist and Futurologist Dr. Axel Schumacher (@MethyLogix), and scientist and innovation expert Dr. Darrol Baker (@darrolb) </p> <p>Our Guest tonight: The 'father of genome sequencing' Prof. George Church. George is a Professor of Genetics at Harvard Medical School and Professor of Health Sciences and Technology at Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). He is Director of the U.S. Department of Energy Technology Center and Director of the National Institutes of Health Center of Excellence in Genomic Science. He has received numerous awards including the 2011 Bower Award and Prize for Achievement in Science from the Franklin Institute and election to the National Academy of Sciences and Engineering. George leads Synthetic Biology at the Wyss Institute, where he oversees the directed evolution of molecules, polymers, and whole genomes to create new tools with applications in regenerative medicine and bio-production of chemicals. Among his recent work at the Wyss is the development of a technology for synthesizing whole genes, and engineering whole genomes, far faster, more accurate, and less costly than current methods. George is widely recognized for his innovative contributions to genomic science and his many pioneering contributions to chemistry and biomedicine. In 1984, he developed the first direct genomic sequencing method, which resulted in the first genome sequence (the human pathogen, H. pylori). He helped initiate the Human Genome Project in 1984 and the Personal Genome Project in 2005. George invented the broadly applied concepts of molecular multiplexing and tags, homologous recombination methods, and array DNA synthesizers. His many innovations have been the basis for a number of companies including the HLTH Network (blockchain & precision medicine), Editas (Gene therapy); Gen9bio (Synthetic DNA); and Veritas Genetics (full human genome sequencing). </p> <p>George’s latest book (English): </p> <p>Regenesis: How Synthetic Biology Will Reinvent Nature and Ourselves: https://amzn.to/2V6svCP In Regenesis, George Church and science writer Ed Regis explore the possibilities of the emerging field of synthetic biology. Synthetic biology, in which living organisms are selectively altered by modifying substantial portions of their genomes, allows for the creation of entirely new species of organisms. These technologies, far from the out-of-control nightmare depicted in science fiction have the power to improve human and animal health, increase our intelligence, enhance our memory, and even extend our life span. A breathtaking look at the potential of this world-changing technology, Regenesis is nothing less than a guide to the future of life. </p> <p>If you love science… Please help us make this podcast and science show a success.

Episode #007 - The passionate pursuit of forensics - with Dr. Mark Benecke
<p>In this podcast, we go deep into the mind of a scientist. Are scientists boring? Many people think of science as only laws and rules. Many people argue that scientists are cold, antisocial, and dry; maybe they are calculative and rational as if they are less sensitive to emotions. Purely logical as Mr. Spock? But then, the biggest breakthroughs of our species throughout history occurred when people thought out of the box, being creative. It was mostly scientists who changed the way we live on this planet. </p> <p>Your hosts of this episode are Geneticist and Futurologist Dr. Axel Schumacher (@MethyLogix), and scientist and innovation expert Dr. Darrol Baker (@darrolb) </p> <p>Our Guest tonight: The world's best-known forensic scientist: Mark Benecke, Ph.D., Certified & Sworn In Forensic Biologist from Cologne/Germany. Benecke has worked on the identification of Adolf and Eva Hitler's skull and teeth in Moscow and is the only forensic scientist to work on the case of Colombian serial killer and rapist Luis Garavito. Some of his forensic cases have been covered by the National Geographic and the History Channels. Mark has published over 20 best-selling popular science books about the biology of aging, criminal cases, and forensic biology. He is a member of the editorial board of the Annals of Improbable Research, and guest editor for Forensic Science Internatio. Mark is also known as a musician. Using the pseudonym "Belcanto Bene", Mark was a member of the German punk band Die Blonden Burschen. In 2011 Mark featured as a vocalist on Sara Noxx's cover of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds' song "Where the Wild Roses Grow". In 2020, together with Bianca Stücker, he published a Leonard Cohen tribute cover album. Mark is also a politician. In 2010, he was a candidate for the office of prime minister for Germany's largest state North Rhine-Westphalia for the satirical political party Die PARTEI. Since 2010, he is Chairman of Die PARTEI in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia. </p> <p>Mark’s books (English): </p> <p>racking down the Culprit (English Edition) Kindle Edition https://amzn.to/3vbeMGH </p> <p>Mark’s books (in German): </p> <p>Mein Leben nach dem Tod: Wie alles began: https://amzn.to/357HUnG </p> <p>Kat Menschiks und des Diplom-Biologen Doctor Rerum Medicinalium Mark Beneckes Illustrirtes Thierleben: https://amzn.to/355L3nZ </p> <p>Viren für Anfänger: Die wichtigsten Fragen und Antworten zu Corona: https://amzn.to/2Ti1UkM </p> <p>Memento Mori: Der Traum vom ewigen Leben: https://amzn.to/3wfvvu2 </p> <p>Warum Tätowierte mehr Sex haben: und andere Erkenntnisse vom Spaß-Nobelpreis https://amzn.to/3vcYL37 </p> <p><br></p> <p>If you love science… Please help us make this podcast and science show a success.
