- And at the time, Jim was associated with the Santa Fe Institute, and he started asking around with, is there anyone up here that's interested in these biological scaling relationships? And then the president at the time said, "You know what?I know of this physicist who's up at Los Alamos who was talking about biological scaling relationships." And so we met Geoffrey and it was like immediately,
21 22. My adopted mother was very gracious because I said I won't meet my biological mother without the permission of my adopted mother. She did all the work of raising me. all the hardships,all of my she put up with all of my rambunctiousness and teenage years and uh drove me to hockey practice and you
of the the ODNI. And that instead their primary concern was that Iran was going to focus resources into the research of biological and chemical weapons. So the fact that in March of 2025, the ODNI, the assessment of all intelligenceagencies, said Iran is not working on a nuclear weapon. And then, after the strike in June of the same year, where
are because of folks with a different skin color than you." That speaks to something that's you know, that's that's biological . But, I I I think that you know, there's um there's a silver lininghere in our failures as as a broad sort of left movement to compete with this storyline. It's that there's a true
Cyber and neuro links, again, the same thing. Biological computing, even intracellular.We're finding that the place where Moore's law has to cross.
There are also a reductionist theories of consciousness from functionalist approaches, where consciousness is just basically taken to be a giant algorithm or computation, biological approaches to consciousness-- my colleague Ned Block was here, I know, talking about neurobiology-based approaches, where it's not the algorithm that matters,but the biology it's implemented in-- and indeed, the kind of quantum approaches that people like Roger Penrose and Stuart Hameroff have made famous.
We're not really ever a literal kind of closed circle of game culture that you're either in or you're out. Biological organisms change shape even if they don't want to.
You can count on getting food from someone else. Biological things tend to scale with body size, and the modal mammal weighs about 50 grams,
I don't say-- it's not prose reuse, but it's efficient. biological engineering are considered extremely dangerous, and no matter how much we discuss it, there is an inherent complexity here that
And she has a graph from zero to five. biological mechanisms across disease.
possible so these are various ways in which you can measure and look at um uh biological and physiological contributions to um uh political ideology but then the question becomeswhat part of it is genetic so one of the things that drives me crazy when I watch the news is that
p.m. this is when my energy peaked and this the the name for this period of the day goes by a few different names a biological prime time though is my favorite because it's when we're naturally the most productive and so youcan use this tactic in your own work when you realize that you have the most energy you can work on your most
but if it's in a location where there's a lot of activity that's disruptive and it's during a really important biological activity um like um this is a really con a lot of Marine Mammal populations have very constrictedfeeding times where they're focused on um uh patches of prey that are in that
and for all of us to begin to think about what it means that the human biological system, or all biological systems, will be hackable and transformable.And it's a big, big idea because our species has been around for about 4 billion years.
Physical containment to make sure things don't escape from the lab. Biological containment to make sure that the organisms themselves don't multiply in ways we don't want.And they just have no imagination that what the biotech industry wants to do is non-containment.
Biological science-- there's induction.
Biological evolution depends upon the recombination of genes.
Biological evolution is glacially slow.
biological beings, what that means to how we react to other things, in addition to religion, such as sexual desire, or love, and other aspects that
biological ambitions and so forth, was just a tissue of forgeries.
biological feeling is the same. The need for romance, which is also a part of the biological neurological aspects.
biological yeah that's a very good question particularly with respect to patenting biological
biological explanation was by Plato who said the god of love lives in a state of
biological diversity. We have the same seasonal variation, but we don't use
biological urges being here. Second, except for Martin, no one's making a buck here in the next hour, right? So why are you here?
biological memory you want to remember names and faces you don't want to have to look at your handheld device to say
biologically to be bored a lot. There's a set of structures in our brains called the default mode network. It turns on
biologically , if they don't know, you know, I have this superpower that I'm actually sensitive to environmental cues
Biologically sensitive environments-- even with astronauts on site, these planetary protection protocols, these planetary protection concerns
Biologically . You can't prevent it.
Biologically . With something that is mellow and is not really recognized by the public health authorities.
biologically -intensive practices. In fact, one of our interns trained the basis for that
Our biological need to contract muscle is more than just about physical health and metabolism.
Their biological clocks have slowed down relative to ours.
family. Kind of a complicated story. Your biological mother adopted you at 16 years old. Put us up for adoption at 16 years old.
know each other. Uh she had a lot of uh questions about how my life had been and uh I had a lot of questions about our our biological family, about her father who was a really great man. I would go on to meet a great Irishman and um the circumstances that led to my my conception and and birth. And I
those biological functions took on a whole new level of significance.
with biological sort stem cells so that the body can-- neural tissue can grow into the interface.

of biological advantage because of how her body is made up, it's immediately considered unfair.
and biological sex, which means delinking assumed continuities between chromosomes, hormones, genitals, reproductive-- and you can see I put non-reproductive there
of biological enhancement. So what if nanobots are capable of helping us think better
from biological weapons. It's been actually quite difficult to get the engagement of biologists on the dual-use/risks of their technologies and their research.
of biological evolution. Sticks have more urgency and impact.
Those biological symptoms become so crucial to shaping my behavior, changing what I'm doing with by preventative measures
The biological one, it sounds like adaptation isn't very effective.
My biological family? Yeah, your biological family.
Some biological models are also very resistant to radiation if they survive those higher than 1,000 grays of ionizing

The biological sciences are very different from the physical sciences.
