Michael Levin is a Distinguished Professor in the Biology department at Tufts University and associate faculty at the Wyss Institute for Bioinspired Engineering at Harvard University. He holds the Vannevar Bush endowed Chair and serves as director of the Allen Discovery Center at Tufts and the Tufts Center for Regenerative and Developmental Biology. Prior to college, Michael Levin worked as a software engineer and independent contractor in the field of scientific computing. He attended Tufts University, interested in artificial intelligence and unconventional computation. To explore the algorithms by which the biological world implemented complex adaptive behavior, he got dual B.S. degrees, in CS and in Biology and then received a PhD from Harvard University. He did post-doctoral training at Harvard Medical School, where he began to uncover a new bioelectric language by which cells coordinate their activity during embryogenesis. His independent laboratory develops new molecular-genetic and conceptual tools to probe large-scale information processing in regeneration, embryogenesis, and cancer suppression.

He has written several books, including "Quantum Evolution: Life in the Multiverse" (2000), "Life on the Edge: The Coming of Age of Quantum Biology" (2014), and his latest book "Life Is Simple: How Occam's Razor Set Science Free and Shapes the Universe" (2021). His research interests include systems biology, mycobacterial genetics, pathogenicity of tuberculosis, neisserial genetics, pathogenicity of meningococcal meningitis. However, along with Prof Jim Al-Khalili, he has become best-known for his contributions to the field of Quantum Biology. Prof McFadden also endorses a theory of consciousness wherein consciousness is an electromagnetic information field (known as CEMI Field Theory).

This interview with me was hosted by Dr Tony Nader on his wonderful podcast "Consciousness Is All There Is" where we discussed the various pros and cons of different theories of consciousness. If you enjoy MBS, you will love the content on Dr Nader's channel, so please check it out, like his content, and subscribe! Let's grow the Consciousness Community! Special thanks to Dr Nader for allowing me to repost this wonderful discussion. It was recorded a year ago, and many of my views have changed (slightly) since then, however I believe it is still worth the watch/listen. Enjoy!

Curt Jaimungal is a Torontonian filmmaker and podcast host, with a Degree in Mathematical Physics from the University of Toronto. His channel "Theories of Everything" (TOE) analyses various "Theories of Everything" by exploring theoretical physics, consciousness, Ai, and God in a technically rigorous manner. Similar to Mind-Body Solution, a separating factor of TOE from other podcasts is its focus on depth even at the risk of limiting the audience due to how much detail we delve into subjects. Paralleling the intensity found in academic discourse, Curt is increasingly embracing a spectrum of unconventional ideas to conduct research during this podcast, rather than merely conveying existing information. If you enjoy Mind-Body Solution, you'll love Theories of Everything - check out his channel, like, and subscribe!
