Evolutionary Biology, Technology + Philosophy: A Higher, Deeper Learning Of Sustainability & Energy Pathways

Humanity is getting rewired, and wired further, through our technologies, that mirror to and reflect from ourselves. Collective consciousness is making more of a shift from closed loop thinking, devices and dualities, to more open flexible systems and multidimensionality, in which we can employ multiple perspectives for advances and improvements in both technology and biology.Continue reading “Evolutionary Biology, Technology + Philosophy: A Higher, Deeper Learning Of Sustainability & Energy Pathways”

Design Of Experiment & Data Collection: Ionization Levels & Electron Affinity Of Water

Purpose: Seeking to ascertain the energetic differences between Hydrogen, Carbon and Oxygen and the state of liquid water — specifically, the ionization levels of the outer valence electrons. That is, what synergetic light wavelength stimulus could it take to move these elements, that also comprise the basic polymeric makeup of plastics, into a new butContinue reading “Design Of Experiment & Data Collection: Ionization Levels & Electron Affinity Of Water”

Studio Shangri-La Lab Notes: Monitoring Emissions Pt. 2 + Managing Prototype Design

Recently I completed a course on Agile Project Management, and that has been a great accompaniment to beginning the prototype build for a portable photocatalytic or photodegradation system. One important point before proceeding with the fun testing is that all the components truly fulfill the design and product requirements, and address any issues directly asContinue reading “Studio Shangri-La Lab Notes: Monitoring Emissions Pt. 2 + Managing Prototype Design”

A Philosophy Of Amortality, Inspired By XPRIZE Healthspan

The majestic Banyan tree, symbolic of eternal life and enlightenment, is considered immortal because it grows aerial roots that become supplementary trunks. Quite simply, it has cleverly adapted to prolonging its life, and in the process houses a lot of other creatures. “Amortality” literally means “not subject to death.” And is the Banyan amortal? NoContinue reading “A Philosophy Of Amortality, Inspired By XPRIZE Healthspan”

Biology Of Longevity: Surviving The Molt — Lessons From The Lobster

When a lobster molts, or sheds its shell or exoskeleton, it’s a struggle. Signaled by hormonal change, it literally crawls out of its own skin. Yet, this somewhat dangerous process has to occur in order for it to grow. Some die during the molt or in the immediate aftermath, before their soft bodies harden again.Continue reading “Biology Of Longevity: Surviving The Molt — Lessons From The Lobster”

Environment, Industry & Public Health: Four Categorical Solutions For Positive Planetary Transformation

Environment, industry and public health are inextricably linked. Environment is of course our home planet Earth, the space in which we live and operate. And its health and condition affect our own wellbeing. The manner in which industry is conducted and the materials used directly affect environment.

Health + Performance: Optimization With Adaptogens

It’s well documented that genetic expression is sculpted by environment. “A substantial body of research reveals that specific genes can be expressed at different times in an organism’s life. Whether a particular gene is expressed and the degree to which it is expressed depend strongly on the environmental conditions experienced by the organism.” (1) EpigeneticsContinue reading “Health + Performance: Optimization With Adaptogens”

Chemistry + Longevity: Redox, Iron Oxide & Reverse Rusting

Sometimes a mere change in verbiage can expand perspective. Case in point: Referring to a gain in electron flow as “reduction.” When it comes to nature though, gains and losses are actually exchange because energy cannot be destroyed. (1) The oxidation-reduction reaction is a complimentary process of electron transfer referred to as “redox” in whichContinue reading “Chemistry + Longevity: Redox, Iron Oxide & Reverse Rusting”
