Description

This weeks episode is a spooky sci-fi romp about how we're hooking up brains to computers and minds to machines back to minds again! Except it is all real science! Tune in to hear Nathan and Andrei tell Sean he's crazy, learn what Elon Musk is doing with his latest company, and whether this technology is going to destroy humanity before CRISPR does. For some visual references, I highly recommend this article by "Wait But Why": https://waitbutwhy.com/2017/04/neuralink.htmlQuantum shit is not really Sean's expertise, but this article specifically was what we was referring to when he suggested photosynthesis may involve quantum stuff: https://www.cell.com/trends/plant-science/pdf/S1360-1385(18)30049-9.pdf References:https://stm.sciencemag.org/content/8/361/361ra141.fullhttps://www.nature.com/articles/nature10489https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/703801v4.fullhttps://www.wired.com/story/brain-machine-interface-isnt-sci-fi-anymore/https://www.cell.com/neuron/pdfExtended/S0896-6273(17)30703-1https://www.nature.com/articles/nature10489https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-019-41895-7https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-017-10957-zhttps://www.quantamagazine.org/the-maestro-of-memory-manipulation-20160623/https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5681944/https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4907333/http://nerve.bsd.uchicago.edu/FB/NatureReviews.pdf

Profane, insane, and 100% primo science, Petri Dish is a no-BS podcast that explores the wildest subjects in modern science with clarity and evil joy. Hosted by Sean Allen, a Nanoparticle/Immunology Researcher, and Nathan Allen, his "screenwriter" brother, Petri Dish fuses hard science with a freewheeling and madcap conversational style. Cannabinoids, Plague, Cats, the dreaded Candiru, and the even more dreaded Covid-19: all these and more are dissected with intellect and irreverence, dropping every week. So reject ignorance. Join the Scientific Revolution. Join Petri Dish.
