Richard Jacobs of the Finding Genius Podcast has written a new book called Finding Genius: Understanding Cancer: 30 Questions, 70 Geniuses, 200+ Amazing Insights in which he interviews 70 scientists covering 30 questions about cancer research overlayed with his own personal experience of thyroid cancer. Hint: The cancer treatment ladder is leaning against the wrong wall. Beware of donuts and snack machines.

John Lennox is an Oxford mathematician who is the author of the new book Cosmic Chemistry. He's written many books about the relationship between science and religion and has debated Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens. His new book candidly surveys the current state of evolutionary theory. Notable chapters include reviews of work by Denis Noble and James Shapiro. In this conversation that we had on the Oxford campus, John recounts his history of asking the big questions.

In September 2021, a dozen entrepreneurs gathered in Chicago and had a seminal 3-day discussion and commissioning for solving the world’s most thorny, intractable issues. Bob Regnerus was there and here we discuss what happens when entrepreneurs shift their focus from creature comforts to curing the most wicked problems of the world.

It is seldom mentioned that Charles Darwin's Origin of Species failed to deliver what the title promised. The mechanisms in his book only deliver microevolution but not macroevolution. Henry Heng discovered a major puzzle piece in his study of cancer and it's called "Genome Chaos". Rafe Furst, a longtime collaborator of Henry's, joins us in exploring the real mechanism of evolutionary change and the true reasons for sexual reproduction. Rafe wrote a summary of Henry's work here.  You can buy Henry's book here. 

Rafe and Henry are starting a working group to explore evolutionary state-of-the-art breakthroughs and you can join their list by sending an email to [email protected].

Doru Paul of Cornell University is one of those very rare people who has both treated over 10,000 cancer patients as their doctor and simultaneously holds a kaleidoscopic view of a huge range of research, theories, and literature. Today we talk about the many competing models and their pros and cons. And, finally, he answers the question: “What kind of medical policies would you put in place if you could start your own country from scratch?”.

Today I don’t have a guest, but what I do have is a really excellent PDF submitted to me by a

Perry Marshall. Perry, has been a really successful marketer, I’ve been following him for

12 years, he has been doing it for maybe, close to 20 years. He started off teaching Google

AdWords, Google Pay-Per-Click, and moved on to Facebook advertising, and eventually, I started

hearing from him that he was studying evolutionary biology and I read his book, Evolution 2.0. It

brought out a lot of super interesting topics in biology that I just didn’t know about and it was

part of my inspiration to do the podcast as well and to this day, having done almost 3,000

interviews, I credit Perry and Evolution 2.0 for kind of getting me started on the path. So Perry

now has been working on cancer, not directly but he is working on helping to promote a new

and what I think is probably a better understanding of cancer and as you know, if you are a

listener of this podcast, I am getting close to finishing my book on cancer....

There are very very few people who can slice through the jargon of molecular biology and explain how cells talk to each other in a way that a high school student can understand. But Jon Lieff has done exactly that and his book, NAME, is a guided tour of a microscopic world that is bursting with life... and stories...This book may change the way you see everything.

A new book by MIT Press stresses the urgency of approaching cancer from new angles. Some are completely new. Others are 100 years old and never given the attention they deserve. Bernhard and I discuss his motivations for taking on this project and how complex systems are much more subtle than we humans prefer to believe.
