  • 5. Enzyme-Directed Evolution

    This week Carolina and Clara discuss enzymes and enzyme-directed evolution. Enzymes are these incredible biological catalysts present in the natural world. However, with recent research carried out by Frances Arnold, and many others, enzymes have been directed to bind with non-organic matter!

  • 4. The Entropic Brain

    In this episode, Carolina and Clara discuss entropy, chaos, and disorder in the context of brain activity. In an attempt to reduce the amount of disorder, our brains may stick to a structured framework of activity, limiting its capacity to be creative and generate new ideas or connections. How does this influence our perception of reality? And how can we overcome this natural "negentropic" tendency?

  • 3. Predictive Coding

    Predictive coding is an emerging framework for understanding how our brains incorporate external stimuli into our internal mental state. With it arises questions such as: How can we distinguish internally generated stimuli from external stimuli? How do we perceive our environment? Can we tell what reality is? In this episode Carolina and Clara explore and discuss these questions!

  • 1. Individuality

    This episode is on individuality. Carolina and Clara discuss what makes an individual, where one thing starts and another ends. Does an individual need to exist in spacial terms, temporal terms, or both? Is it all relative? Can a group of trees be considered an individual? Listen to hear us ponder these questions.
