What if medicine could protect us against many respiratory viruses at once? In this episode of Ben Yeoh Chats, Ben speaks with Brian Wang, Programme Director at ARIA, the UK's Advanced Research and Invention Agency. Brian leads ARIA's Sustained Viral Resilience programme, which is exploring whether we can harness the innate immune system to create a new kind of preventive medicine.Brian explains why most people think about immunity through antibodies, vaccines and the adaptive immune system, while the innate immune system is broader, faster and potentially better suited to broad-spectrum protection. The challenge is that innate immunity has historically been harder to understand and harder to engineer safely.Ben and Brian discuss whether sustained innate immuno-prophylactics, or SIPs, could one day provide months of protection against flu, RSV, coronaviruses and future pandemic threats from a single dose. They also explore AI for biology, synthetic biology, pandemic preparedness after COVID, medical regulation, the UK science base, and ARIA's model for funding high-risk research.A conversation about innate immunity, preventive medicine, pandemic resilience, AI in biology, and how breakthroughs actually happen.Link to transcript: https://www.thendobetter.com/investing/2026/5/8/brian-wang-on-innate-immunity-aria-and-a-new-kind-of-preventive-medicineContents00:40 What we misunderstand about the immune system02:04 Could one medicine protect against many viruses?03:55 Innate versus adaptive immunity06:18 Why innate immunity was overlooked16:36 Breakthroughs in innate immunology21:09 Why start with respiratory viruses?25:47 How ARIA funds frontier science29:27 Promising approaches to SIPs34:13 AI for biology and its limits38:15 Brian's path to ARIA39:16 Pandemic preparedness after COVID44:03 Overrated / underrated47:27 The UK science ecosystem50:15 Medical regulation53:31 GLP-1s and wider biomedical discovery56:47 Upcoming ARIA calls01:02:10 Advice for scientists and builders

In this solo episode, I delve deep into a topic that could revolutionise your understanding of cardiovascular health. The focus shifts from the conventional marker, LDL cholesterol, to a more predictive measure that has been right under our noses. Prepare to have your mind blown as I unpack decades of research, dismantles myths, and unveil practical steps for a healthier life. What You'll Learn: The Real Marker of Risk: Discover a much stronger predictor of cardiovascular and metabolic disease risk than LDL cholesterol. Challenging Norms: Understand why relying solely on LDL cholesterol is like flipping a coin when assessing heart disease risk. A Game-Changer: Learn about the Framingham study's revelation that this measure is 3 to 5 times more predictive of heart attack risk. Impacts Beyond Heart Health: Find out how this ratio also predicts risk for metabolic diseases like type 2 diabetes. Practical Steps: Explore dietary and lifestyle changes that can improve your key ratio, enhancing overall metabolic health. Key Takeaways: The triglyceride to HDL ratio offers a more accurate risk assessment than focusing solely on LDL cholesterol. Maximising heart and metabolic health involves more than just medication; lifestyle changes play a crucial role. Understanding your body's response to carbohydrates is key to optimising your lipid profile. The medical community's focus on LDL cholesterol is outdated—empower yourself with current research to guide your health decisions. Simple changes such as low-carb diets, exercise, and intermittent fasting can significantly impact your health outcomes.

The internet, GPS, autonomous vehicles... they all have one thing in common: they're existence is in large part down to the DARPA (the US Department of Defense's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency). And the UK is trying to repeat the success of that agency with its own: ARIA (the Advanced Research and Invention Agency). The organisation's CEO, Ilan Gur, joins Katie to discuss how.

Dr. Amato is a biological anthropologist studying the influence of gut microbes on host ecology and evolution. Her research examines how changes in the gut microbiota impact host nutrition, energetics, and health. She uses non-human primates as models for studying host-gut microbe interactions in selective environments and for providing comparative insight into the evolution of the human gut microbiota. Her main foci are understanding how the gut microbiome may buffer hosts during periods of nutritional stress and how the gut microbiome programs normal inter-specific differences in host metabolism. In this realm, she is also interested in global variation in the human gut microbiome and its implications for local human adaptation. Dr. Amato obtained her A.B. in Biology from Dartmouth College and her Ph.D. in Ecology, Evolution and Conservation Biology from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. She completed a postdoc at the University of Colorado Boulder. She joined the Department of Anthropology in 2015. She is also affiliated with the Interdisciplinary Biological Sciences Graduate Program and sits on the Executive Committee of the Northwestern Institute on Complex Systems. Dr. Amato is the President of the Midwest Primate Interest Group, an Associate Editor at Microbiome, an Editorial Board member at Folia Primatologica, and a Fellow for the Canadian Institute of Advanced Research's ‘Humans and the Microbiome' Program. ------------------------------ Find the paper discussed in this episode: Mallott, E., Kuthyar, S., Lee, W., … & Amato, K.

I'm thrilled to announce that our next guest on The Mixtape with Scott is Professor Philip Oreopoulos—one of the most impactful economists working today in education and labor. A PhD student advisee of David Card, Phil is part of the distinguished lineage that helped shape the credibility revolution in applied microeconomics.Now a Professor of Economics and Public Policy at the University of Toronto, Phil has spent his career studying how education policies and interventions affect outcomes for students and workers. His work blends rigorous causal inference with real-world relevance to uncover how both the very large interventions we employ to help society, as well as the seemingly surgically narrow ones, shape the lives of workers and students. He's also a Research Associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research and a Research Fellow at the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research. His CV is full of important papers, but it's the heart behind the work that really stands out—his curiosity about the world and his desire to make a difference. In this episode, we go beyond the papers. We talk about his journey, what it was like working with David Card, and how he found his calling. It's a thoughtful, warm conversation with a scholar who represents the very best of what economics can be.Scott's Mixtape Substack is a reader-supported publication.

In this ClimateGenn episode I am speaking with Professor Raymond Pierrehumbert, who is the Halley Professor of Physics at the University of Oxford about solar geoengineering. He and Professor Michael E. Mann from Pennsylvania University coauthored an article in The Guardian on the 12th March 2025 titled:‘The UK's gamble on solar geoengineering is like using aspirin for cancer'."We shouldn't be actively creating harm. And the first line of defence is to actually not at least have governments and philanthropy funding these outdoor experimentations."Professor PierrehumbertHere we delve deeper into Ray's overt objections to the UK's Advanced Research & Invention Agency (ARIA). ARIA is the UK's version of the mysterious US Defence Advanced Projects Agency (DARPA). ARIA has recently allocated £45mn British Pounds to fund solar geoengineering projects including outdoor experiments.

She became involved in spiritualism in a desperate attempt to save her life. At age sixteen, Sheri was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease. After years of medical treatment, she was fighting for her life on the operating table. While recovering from surgery, a second illness contracted through blood transfusions was declared fatal. At this time Sheri contacted British spiritual healer, Harry Edwards, “purely out of desperation.” To her amazement, the healing stopped her illness in its tracks, and returned her liver functions to normal. As a result of this experience, Sheri opened the doors to spiritual exploration. She has studied with many great mediums and healers, eventually earning her doctorate in Therapeutic Counseling from the Open International University, Institute for Alternative Medicine.Her book, “Healing From the Inside Out” chronicles her experience with illness and spiritual healing and shares what she has learned along the way. In 2008, her 22-year-old son Daniel died of an overdose of alcohol and prescription drugs. Needless-to-say, Sheri suffers greatly from this loss; however, what helps her is the knowledge that Daniel is safe in the spirit world and “connecting up” with him through thought, feelings, dreams, signs and reputable mediums. Sheri is currently working on a new book to share her perspective with others who are mourning. She recently created the PRAYER REGISTRY for parents who wish to join with others to send group prayers out to their child on the anniversary day of their passing.https://www.lisahsnyder.com/serviceshttps://vimeo.com/ondemand/Rinaldihttps://www.sheriperl.com/ https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlife

Jason is one of the only researchers in the world who specializes in ancient chronological systems, focusing on worldwide antiquities from 4309 BCE to 522 CE, many of his historical discoveries can not be found in any other works. For this reason he was awarded with multiple publishing contracts with Book Tree in San Diego.  Jason has authored 17 books and several articles, 10 works available on Amazon. His research bibliography is currently at 1357 nonfiction books read and data mined during a 19 year period, approximately 250,000 pages from many rare works as old as four hundred years, including translations of texts dating as far back as four thousand years.  Jason never disappoints, so join us and thank you for supporting the Alfa Vedic mission.

This is the Global Media & Communication podcast series. This podcast is a multimodal project powered by the Center for Advanced Research in Global Communication (CARGC) at the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania. At CARGC, we produce and promote critical, interdisciplinary, and multimodal research on global media and communication. We aim to bridge academic scholarship and public life, bringing the best scholarship to bear on enduring global questions and pressing contemporary issues. Today, our hosts, Anjali DasSarma and Sim Gill, present the second episode in a two-part series on neoliberalism and the state of the university as a deeply powerful structure, along with two incredible scholars: Professor Natalie Fenton and Professor Alison Hearn. In this episode, we delve into the intricate mechanisms of capitalism, unpacking how metrics, the pressure to "publish or perish," and intellectual extraction shape the academic landscape. From the commodification of knowledge to the erosion of job security, we'll shine a light on some of the systemic forces at play in higher education. We also unpack the rhetoric surrounding Elon Musk and his impact on the age of artificial intelligence, to consider how AI tools like ChatGPT are shifting debates about teaching and student evaluation methods. Amidst these challenges, we'll also uncover the power of the ideological project of hope. Join us as we engage in a thought-provoking discussion on information, communication, and knowledge production.

Matt is also Chair of ARIA, the UK's Advanced Research and Invention Agency, and advises the UK government on AI and in 2023 served as the Prime Minister's Representative for the AI Safety Summit at Bletchley Park. In Today's Episode with Matt Clifford We Discuss: 1. The Most Important Questions in AI: Are we seeing diminishing returns where more compute does not lead to a significant increase in performance? What is required to reach a new S curve? What do we need to see in GPT 5? Why does Matt believe that search is one of the biggest opportunities in AI today? 2. The Biggest Opportunities in AI Today: How does Matt see the future for society with a world of autonomous agents? What is the single biggest opportunity around agents that no one has solved? Is society ready for agentic behaviours to replace the core of human labour? How does warfare change in a world of AI? Does AI favour states and good actors or criminals and bad actors more favourably when it comes to offence and defence? 3. China and the Race to Win the AI War: Does Matt believe that China are two years behind the US in terms of AI capability? What are Matt's biggest lessons from spending time with the CPP in China working on AI policy? In what way is the CCP more sophisticated in their thinking on AI than people think? What is the bull and the bear case for China in the race for AI? What is the core impact of US export controls on chips for China's ability to build in AI? Does a Trump vs a Biden election change the playing field with China? 4. What Makes Truly Great Founders: Does Matt agree that the best founders always start an entrepreneurial activity when they are young? What is more important the biggest strength of one of the founders or the combined skills of the founding team? What did EF believe about founders and founder chemistry that they no longer believe? Does Matt believe that everyone can be a founder? What are the two core traits required?
