  4. #849: Dr. Michael Levin — Reprogramming Bioelectricity, Updating "Software" for Anti-Aging, Treating Cancer Without Drugs, Cognition of Cells, and Much More
Dr. Michael Levin (@drmichaellevin) is the
Vannevar Bush Distinguished Professor of Biology at Tufts
University and director of the Allen Discovery Center. He is
primarily interested in how intelligence self-organizes in a
diverse range of natural, engineered, and hybrid embodiments.
Applied to the collective intelligence of cell groups undergoing
morphogenesis, these ideas have allowed the Levin Lab to develop
new applications in birth defects, organ regeneration, and cancer
suppression.

Mein Archiv

Deine Privatkopie der Folgen, die du nicht verlieren willst.

Podcast-Folgen verschwinden. Feeds werden auf die letzten Episoden gekürzt, Hoster räumen alte Dateien ab, Formate wechseln den Anbieter und lassen ihr Archiv zurück. Mit „Mein Archiv“ sichert podcast.de die Folgen deiner Podcasts für dich — angefangen bei den ältesten, denn die sind zuerst weg.

  • Deine gesicherten Folgen bleiben hörbar, auch wenn das Original offline geht.
  • Auch Folgen, die im heutigen Feed gar nicht mehr stehen — podcast.de kennt sie noch.
  • Herunterladen bleibt möglich, solange die Folge beim Podcaster liegt. Der zählt seine Abrufe wie bisher.
