CERN’s Pablo Tello and ESA’s Ian Carnelli: Mindcollider - Fusing Space, Physics, and Big Ideas
We love to hear from you. Send us your thought, comments, suggestions, love lettersIn this episode, Markus welcomes two influential guests, Pablo Tello from CERN and Ian Carnelli from the European Space Agency (ESA). They explore the MINDCOLLIDER project, Markus’s brainchild that unites brilliant minds from particle physics and space exploration to help inspire solutions to very mundane or globally pressing issues.Guest Backgrounds:Pablo Tello: A scientist at CERN in Geneva, known for his interdisciplinary approach and contributions to particle physics. He co-heads IdeaSquare, a facility at CERN that fosters innovative thinking.Ian Carnelli: Director of ESA’s HERA mission, focused on developing technologies to protect Earth from asteroid impacts. He returns to the podcast with updated insights and experiences.Conversation Highlights:[00:02:29] Innovation and Anticipation: Pablo emphasizes the importance of anticipation in technological development, especially in long-term projects like the LHC. He stresses thinking in orders of magnitude and challenging existing paradigms.[00:06:28] Interdisciplinary Collaboration: Ian discusses the significance of interdisciplinary work at ESA, where expertise from various fields combines to drive innovation. He explains how imagining scenarios in space can lead to Earthly solutions.[00:14:00] Challenges and Failures: Both guests highlight the necessity of accepting failures in the innovation process and the importance of a culture that embraces risk.[00:18:01] Future Vision: The conversation shifts to the broader implications of space and particle physics on sustainable development and societal progress. Notable Quotes:[00:51:15] Pablo Tello: "Innovation management is an oxymoron. The more management you have, the less innovation."[00:52:55] Ian Carnelli: "Success is not in those who succeed; to succeed, you actually have to fail."Five Key Learnings for Organizations:[00:50:55] Embrace Young Generations: Listen

Paul Kohlhaas explores crypto’s role in revolutionizing Biotech
In a recent episode of the SlateCast, Paul Kohlhaas, the founder of BIO Protocol, joined CryptoSlate CEO Nate Whitehill and Senior Editor Liam "Akiba" Wright to discuss the future of biotechnology through decentralized science (DeSci). Kohlhaas explained BIO Protocol's vision for revolutionizing biotech funding and research by utilizing decentralized, open-source methods.Biotechnology as the Substrate for LifeBIO XYZ represents more than a typical biotech initiative. As Kohlhaas explained,“BIO XYZ stands for a movement to not be afraid of biotechnology, to like embrace it, and that it should be much more open source, back in the hands of the people.”The concept draws from "bio-accelerationism," echoing the AI acceleration movement in the tech world. Biotechnology, Kohlhaas argues, should be considered a new "substrate for life," akin to how artificial intelligence became a new substrate for intelligence.Kohlhaas elaborated on the fear surrounding biotechnology and genetic engineering, drawing parallels with the early fears surrounding AI.“People are afraid of genetic engineering and new biotechnological advances. However, just as AI has seen a movement to decentralize it, we believe biotechnology should be back in the hands of the people.”Empowering Patients and Scientists with DAOsBIO Protocol’s core innovation is decentralizing biotech research by connecting scientists, patients, and investors through decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs). These DAOs allow communities to directly fund research that addresses specific medical challenges. Kohlhaas highlighted VitaDAO as a successful example, stating,“VitaDAO funded research into autophagy activators—substances that help healthy cells eliminate old cells—leading to novel drug developments.”In this decentralized model, patients can have a more significant role, providing not only funds but also valuable insights. “Patients often know what’s best for them,” Kohlhaas remarked, emphasizing the importance of invol
