Referring to himself as “The mycologist”, Nik is indeed an expert on mycology and has authored a number of books that celebrate the diversity of the microbial world. In his research at Miami, he has pioneered the use of high-speed video microscopy to understand the explosive mechanisms used by fungi to launch their spores into the air. In this discussion we discuss what fungi are, whether they are intelligence and how compounds found within mushrooms could affect our health and our brain.

There, he switched his focus to Drosophila melanogaster, a model organism for studying gene regulation and development. In 2017, Lidsky moved to the US and joined the laboratory of Raul Andino at UCSF. He has been involved in several projects but here...2023-11-2954 minThe Sheekey Science ShowPhilosophy of Biology - Samir OkashaIn this video I spoke with Samir Okasha, Professor of Philosophy of Science at University of Bristol. He has interests in the 'levels of selection' question in evolutionary biology, and the related issue of individual versus group conflicts of interest.

He has previously built WAND, an Uber-like platform for booking housekeepers and more recently is an executive producer for the Vance Crowe podcast. However, here i talk with Ben about his independent research in aging and bioelectric networks through independent research and why he thinks this may be a good intervention point for longevity.

LuminexusUnderstanding The Research Showing That We Can Reverse AgingEleanor Sheekey | Sheekey Science Show
An idea that has been in every science fiction movie for decades is halting aging. Weather that is humans that live to 200 years old, or physical and mental health that never deteriorates. These all seem like crazy propositions that will never happen.
But there is a growing body of research proving that we may be closer to accomplishing these crazy feats then anyone previously thought.
In this episode we dive into the science and research behind reversing (or even halting) aging with PhD student (at Cambridge University) Eleanor Shee...2022-02-0444 min
