AI is helping Christian leaders do more, faster. But what happens when our ability to move quickly begins to outpace our ability to hear from God? In this episode of the Lausanne Movement Podcast, Jason Watson speaks with Natchi Lazarus about how artificial intelligence is moving beyond simply generating content and becoming something more like a coworker, agent, or additional member of the ministry team. Natchi explores the practical potential of agentic AI for churches and ministries—from increasing personal productivity to expanding the capacity of small teams. But as the technology becomes more powerful, he argues that Christian leaders need deeper spiritual discernment, not less. Together, Jason and Natchi discuss what it means to move from “human versus AI” to “human plus AI”, why Christians should keep God in the loop when using new technology, and how practices of Scripture, prayer, and “spiritual white space” can help us embrace the possibilities of AI without outrunning what God is actually calling us to do. Main Points AI is moving from tool to teammate. AI can help ministries redeem time for what matters most. The future is not simply human versus AI, but human plus AI. Start with your work, not the technology. Keep God in the loop. Move fast with technology, but slow down spiritually. Just because AI can do something does not mean God is asking you to do it.

Dr. Andrew Huff, former Vice President and senior scientist at EcoHealth Alliance, joins the program to share the corruption he says he witnessed firsthand and how it contributed to the COVID-era madness and the coverups that followed. We go beyond much of what has already been discussed, diving into the funding mechanisms behind the research, how these networks are structured, where the money flows, and how the institutions involved operate.We also turn toward the rapidly evolving future of biotechnology, including the remarkable work coming out of the University of Minnesota involving a newly discovered single-celled organism—a potential “God Cell”—capable of developing into larger multicellular clusters resembling organ-like structures. We explore what this discovery could mean for regenerative medicine and biotechnology, where the science may be heading, and just how enormous this emerging industry could ultimately become.You can learn more or buy his books at AndrewHuff.com.Sign up for the Webinar with Dr Diane Kazer and Sarah Westall “The Most Effective Peptides and Stopping Endocrine Disruptors” at SarahWestall.com/PeptidesSign up for the newsletter and see exclusives at WestallMedia.com
BUFFALO, NY — September 24, 2026 — A new #review was #published in Volume 18 of Aging on September 8, 2026, titled “How to live for centuries: common denominators of organisms with exceptional longevity.” The review examines what some of the world's longest-lived organisms may reveal about the biology of exceptional longevity. The review was led by first author Stefania E. Kapsetaki from the Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, Foundation for Research and Technology-Hellas (FORTH), in Heraklion, Crete, Greece. Corresponding author Nektarios Tavernarakis is affiliated with the same institute and with the Division of Basic Sciences, School of Medicine, University of Crete. Kapsetaki and Tavernarakis surveyed molecular and cellular evidence from 101 multicellular species with maximum lifespans of at least 250 years, including 90 plants and 11 animals. Some reach only slightly beyond 250 years, while others may persist for thousands or even tens of thousands of years. The freshwater planarian Schmidtea mediterranea and the jellyfish Turritopsis dohrnii are even considered potentially immortal. Rather than looking only at why certain species live longer than others, the authors compared two dimensions of longevity: variation within exceptionally long-lived species and variation between long- and shorter-lived species. Their analysis covered genetic, genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic and metabolomic findings, as well as telomere maintenance, stress resistance, regeneration and tumorigenesis.

Hi everyone, it's been a while! I decided to do an update, sharing details about what took me away from the channel. I also talk about different themes that have emerged in that time as well as themes that went away. Finally, I touch on all the companies I had invested in over the years, providing brief updates on each one. While it was a good way to lose money, there were some lessons in it, which I share at the end of the episode. $KOD (23:20) is one company I am excited about for an upcoming readout. DAYBREAK is a phase 3 clinical trial comparing Zenkuda (tarcocimab), KSI-501 (VEGF + IL-6 inhibition) and Aflibercept 2mg in wet AMD. This indication is a massive opportunity and is on track to release results in September 2026. The company trading at a $2B market cap today, which I think has potential to go much higher on a positive result.

Being trapped in a collapsed building or cave is already scary enough without giant cockroaches crawling toward you. But don't worry! They're here to help.Researchers at the University of Queensland in Australia have worked with biomedical engineers at the University of New South Wales to develop a swarm of cyborg insect paramedics. The Giant Burrowing Cockroaches are outfitted with lightweight electronics that allow them to be piloted remotely, and carry either cameras for visual feedback or remotely activated auto-injection systems.The equipment allows the robobugs to either send back information to first responders or deliver emergency medical care.Researchers said the cockroaches have achieved a 95 percent success when shooting injections into their intended targets, but only when positioned within 15 centimeters, or about six inches. In all, the robobugs completed 72 percent of the navigation-and-injection tasks during trials.The researchers said the cockroaches are given anesthetics during the cyborgification process and that once the electronics are removed, the bugs go on to live a full life.Last year, the same team demonstrated the ability to remotely guide beetles by combining wearable electronics and a video game controller. But they said the cockroaches are better equipped to carry more gear due to their size, strength and agility.If the technology continues to progress, the researchers said they envision entire cyborg insect rescue teams responding to disasters and other emergencies. So maybe get used to the idea of a giant cockroach shooting needles at you. Because it might just save your life.#Robotics, #Cyborg, #Engineering, #BiomedicalEngineering, #SearchAndRescue, #DisasterResponse, #RescueTechnology, #EmergingTechnology, #Innovation, #RoboticsEngineering, #UniversityOfQueensland, #UniversityOfNewSouthWales, #Biotechnology, #FutureTechnology, #Manufacturing

Notes: Ms. Aybar traces her interest in criminal justice, government and politics back to childhood. She recalls her father having her choose a current event from the Sunday newspaper and then discussing it with him, and says she already knew by seventh grade that she wanted to attend John Jay College of Criminal Justice. Her route into cybercrime came through advertising and political campaigns. As digital advertising became increasingly important, she encountered problems with advertisements being directed toward bots rather than people and became involved in applying fraud-prevention techniques to campaigns. This experience sparked a wider interest in cybercrime. After beginning her PhD, Ms. Aybar worked on a research assignment involving USAID and DAI focused on enhancing Ukraine's cybersecurity posture. The work led her further into the national-security side of cybersecurity and into studying nation-state, non-state and other cyber actors. Ms. Aybar and her dissertation chair, Dr. Rob T. Guerette, used environmental criminology and rational choice theory to examine whether state-sponsored and non-state cyber actors demonstrate different behavioural signatures. Rather than focusing only on the tools used in an attack, the approach considers the choices attackers make around risk, reward, effort, visibility, operational security and what they are ultimately trying to accomplish. The study uses data from the European Repository of Cyber Incidents (EuRepoC), allowing the researchers to look for patterns across a large number of publicly documented cyber incidents over time. Ms. Aybar notes that this scale is useful, but also stresses that the data only represent incidents that are visible, recorded and attributable rather than the full universe of cyber activity. Changes in the threat landscape, actor names and APT naming conventions also create challenges for classification and consistency. The clearest distinction in the study was that non-state actors were more associated with high-visibility and immediate-impact activity, including ransomware, disruption, doxxing and publicly confirming responsibility for an attack. State-sponsored or state-affiliated actors were more associated with lower-visibility strategic activity, particularly data theft and reduced operational disruption. From a rational choice perspective, Ms. Aybar suggests these differences reflect different incentives. Non-state actors may benefit from visibility, pressure or immediate financial gain, while state-linked actors may have reasons to preserve access, avoid attention and quietly collect intelligence or strategically valuable data. She emphasizes that, regardless of the category of actor, there are still people behind the screens making these choices. Not all of the study's expectations were supported. The researchers expected state-sponsored actors to be more likely to target state and political systems, but this was not supported in their first theoretically guided model. Ms. Aybar suggests this may reflect strategic indirection: a state-linked actor can pursue a state-level objective by targeting contractors, universities, infrastructure dependencies, supply-chain intermediaries or private companies rather than attacking a government agency directly. Ms. Aybar's planned dissertation consists of three studies. The first will develop behavioural baselines for state-linked cyber operations associated with China, Iran, North Korea and Russia and compare their operational and visibility patterns. The second will examine time to public attribution and whether behavioural characteristics are associated with how quickly an actor is publicly named. Her third dissertation study will examine ransomware crime scripts in the biotechnology and life sciences sector compared with general enterprise cases. The aim is to identify points in the ransomware process where situational crime-prevention techniques could potentially disrupt an attack. This work has also led Ms. Aybar toward the emerging area of cyber biosecurity. She is interested in what happens when cyber threats intersect with biological data, laboratory systems, pharmaceutical research, AI and the wider bioeconomy, approaching these issues from a cybercrime and national-security perspective.

Join Rob McConnell as he welcomes Dr. Christopher Macklin for a provocative conversation about Artificial Intelligence, Nanotechnology, and Transhumanism—three rapidly developing areas that raise profound questions about technology and the future of humanity. As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly integrated into everyday life and advances in biotechnology and nanotechnology continue, society faces important questions about privacy, autonomy, ethics, human enhancement, and how far technological development should be allowed to reshape the human experience. During the discussion, Dr. Macklin shares his perspectives and concerns about the convergence of AI, advanced technology, biological modification, and transhumanism. Transhumanism broadly explores the possibility of using science and technology to enhance human physical and cognitive abilities, potentially extending healthy lifespans and overcoming biological limitations. Supporters see enormous possibilities, while critics raise concerns about safety, inequality, surveillance, control, and unintended consequences. Rob and Dr. Macklin also examine some of the more controversial claims surrounding nanotechnology and emerging technologies, separating documented developments from speculation and asking what evidence exists for extraordinary assertions. Their conversation explores the potential benefits and dangers of AI, the ethical boundaries of human enhancement, and what could happen when machines become increasingly capable of performing tasks once considered uniquely human. Are we entering an age in which technology will dramatically improve human civilization, or could humanity become dangerously dependent upon systems it does not fully understand or control? Join Rob McConnell and Dr. Christopher Macklin on The 'X' Zone Radio Show for a challenging exploration of artificial intelligence, nanotechnology, transhumanism, and the choices that may determine our technological future.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all CANCOM/XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

The United States has invested heavily in biotechnology research, but supporters of a new bipartisan bill argue that innovation depends on more than scientific breakthroughs. They say measurement science and common standards are essential if new discoveries are going to move reliably from the laboratory to the marketplace. Here to discuss that effort is Congresswoman April McClain Delaney of Maryland's Sixth District.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Everyone is talking about toxins, but how much of what you hear is actually backed by science? In this episode, we sit down with toxicologist Dr. Joe Zagorski to separate legitimate health concerns from the fear-driven narratives that dominate social media and the wellness industry. We break down what toxicologists actually do, how chemicals are evaluated for safety, and why context matters far more than sensational headlines. Dr. Zagorski explains the critical difference between a hazard and a real-world risk, why dose is one of the most important principles in toxicology, and how to think about common concerns surrounding plastics, fragrances, cleaning products, and everyday chemical exposures without falling into unnecessary fear. Whether you've wondered if your cookware is poisoning you, if household products are silently harming your family, or if "toxin-free" marketing is worth believing, this conversation provides an evidence-based framework for making informed decisions without becoming overwhelmed. If you're looking for clarity instead of fear, this episode is for you. About Dr. Joe Zagorski: Joe Zagorski, Ph.D., is a toxicologist with the Center for Research on Ingredient Safety, where his work focuses on understanding the safety of consumer product ingredients and advancing public health through evidence-based toxicology. He earned his B.S. in Biotechnology from Purdue University and his Ph.D. in Cell and Molecular Biology and Environmental Toxicology from Michigan State University, where he studied how chemical toxicants activate cellular stress pathways and influence immune function.

Over the last decade, the number of drug candidates entering development has doubled, yet the number of successful drug approvals remains flat at ~50 per year.This week, we sit down with Formation Bio founder and CEO Ben Liu. His company has raised more than $600 million to build what he hopes will become the first new enduring pharmaceutical company in decades, powered by AI. Ben explains why he believes clinical development, not drug discovery, is becoming the industry's biggest bottleneck, and how AI could fundamentally change the economics of bringing new medicines to patients.We cover:Why there hasn't there been a big pharma company created since the 1980sWhich drug categories Ben believes could become the next GLP-1s and reshape healthcareWhy Formation Bio chose to become a pharmaceutical company instead of selling softwareThe real bottleneck in bringing medicines to patientsBen's roadmap for how AI will transform drug development over the next 10 to 20 yearsAbout our guest:Ben Liu is the co-founder and CEO of Formation Bio. He received his DPhil at Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar, leveraging machine-learning, AI, and big-data to develop diagnostics and therapeutics for Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease. During his graduate work, he observed the way clinical trials bottlenecked the development of new treatments for patients, compelling him to start Formation Bio.Before Formation Bio, Ben graduated from Yale where he was awarded the college's highest honor at graduation and received his MPhil with distinction in Computational Biology from the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics at Cambridge as a Paul Mellon Fellow. Ben also serves as an Advisor to Harvard Business School's MS/MBA Program in Biotechnology.—
Researchers have engineered an artificial cell out of chemicals and biomolecules that, at a basic level, can eat, grow, duplicate its own genetic code, and reproduce itself. The cell, dubbed SpudCell, is aimed at creating a chassis that can be adapted to create biological factories for the chemicals humans rely on for modern life, from fuels to pharmaceuticals. But it also raises the question of what it means for something to be “alive.” Synthetic biologist Kate Adamala joins Host Ira Flatow to talk about the technological advance, the possibilities for the artificial cell, and a nonprofit organization she hopes will allow the SpudCell to spark an innovation in biotechnology. Guest: Dr. Kate Adamala is a synthetic biologist and an associate professor of genetics, cell biology, and development at the University of Minnesota.
