in precision health. Dr. Minor is a professor of otolaryngology, head and neck surgery, at Stanford University with additional appointments both in bioengineering and neurobiology. He's a prolific author.
Volcanoes could come back at any point, really big mega volcanoes. There are radical bioengineering and environmental remediation groups who come back to Earth from space
Volcanoes could come back at any point, really big mega volcanoes. connected to geoengineering and bioengineering ,
solve it. The second agenda item, and he calls them agenda items for the 21st century, is to increase human happiness by bioengineering , cyborg engineering, mechanical implants, all this kind of thing, and turning
That's amazing. That could be a follow-up book. Do you see the future of bioengineering belonging to hackers and hobbyists, or professionals, or a combination? Well, I think the digital revolution was pushed forward by people on the electronic frontier, the cyber hackers who, you know, as Steve Jobs would say,
that strong anxiety that came from conditions. If you are human or bioengineered human, you're still dealing with the fact that you don't know why you are in this place, and the fact that-- also, there's a lot of factors that the replicants are basically designed to be slaves.
please use the microphone so that they can hear your questions, and also it will be recorded for YouTube. So, John who really doesn't need much of an introduction, is on the faculty of The University of Washington School of Medicine in the Bioengineering Department and is a director of The Brain Center of Applied Learning Research at Seattle Pacific University. And he's here today to talk about his book Brain Rules.
So some of the early animal work we've done lends a lot of credibility to this softening hypothesis. In fact, the Chair of Bioengineering at George Mason University, we were able to convince him to move to UT Dallas about two months ago to continue to work with us to really prove out this hypothesis.
And part of that is actually a pretty interesting part of the story, which really surprised me as well at the time. So just a little bit further background-- I was working as a bioinformatician in the Bioengineering department at Stanford. I was mainly focusing on protein simulations-- so basically, physics-based simulations of biological systems.
He has been here in 2008 and 2010. Welcome back, John. And he's a professor of bioengineering at the University of Washington School of Medicine. His books include "Brain Rules," "Brains Rules for the Baby," "Brain Rules for Aging Well," which is the one that he's going to talk to today, which I think
Director for the Center of Sensory Motor Neural Engineering. At the UW, he's a research associate professor in the Department of Bioengineering and Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine. He is investigating the neural active properties of medicinal herbs and plants to help treat neurological disease.
good. We, all you have to do, it doesn't matter where it is cause when you take a molecule of CO2 out of the air and the planet, it doesn't matter where you take it out; it's not like of more far out ideas that I've heard, which is Freeman Dyson's of bioengineering the Northern pine forests to sequester more carbon?
good. We, all you have to do, it doesn't matter where it is cause when you take a molecule of CO2 out of the air and the planet, it doesn't matter where you take it out; it's not like about which one you're talking about. When you say bioengineering the pine forests, which of his ideas do you mean?
- Well- - In this context. - Yeah, the beginning of my work is very much in regenerative medicine, in bioengineering , things like that. So for those kinds of systems, the question is always, how do you get the system to do what you want it to do? So there are cells, there are molecular networks, there are materials, there are organs and tissues and synthetic
anymore, right? It looks like friendship and love and psychoanalysis and all these other tools that we have. But here's what I want to do. I want to be very specific to my colleagues in regenerative medicine and everything. Just imagine if I, you know, if I went to a bioengineering department or a genetics department and I started talking about high-level, you know, cognition and psychoanalysis, right? They don't want to hear that. So I focus on the engineering approach...
Perry Zurn is an associate professor of philosophy at American University and the author of "Curiosity and Power-- The Politics of Inquiry." Dani S. Bassett is the J. Peter Skirkanich professor of bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania and received a MacArthur Fellowship in 2014. Thank you so much for joining us Perry and Dani.
When you visit the theme parks, is that something that has also inspired you over the years to participate in cookbooks of the food experience In terms of what I'd bring, I have to imagine that Reed Richards would probably have bioengineered some sort of bizarre burger using
Well, howdy, everybody. My name is Pete. And today, we're here to talk about "The Genesis Machine" by Amy Webb and Andrew Hessel, a book about bioengineering . So Amy Webb is a quantitative futurist and the founder of the Future Today Institute.
I became aware that a multimodal approach, including genomically targeting drugs, bioengineered devices,
Pandemics. All right. Biotechnology, bioengineered viruses, so that's good.
Rahm Emanuel: are different than people that are going to be doing pharmaceutical and new health care companies. The University of Chicago is investing in a new bioengineering
