Meredith Oke's calling is to spread the knowledge of the emerging science of quantum biology and the pivotal role of light to health. This devotion emerged in her late thirties, when she suffered from chronic fatigue. (Or maybe it was actually seeded in her late twenties, when she had a spiritual awakening, which later helped her to step up.) “I was unwell. I felt tired all the time. Doctors didn't have any answers. I tried everything; acupuncture. diets. fitness stuff. Some of it helped. but I wasn't feeling normal”, Meredith says. In the ‘gift of desperation' moment, she remembered an interview she had heard with an expert on circadian rhythm, the notion that a balance between light and dark is conducive to health. Meredith re-listened and had an epiphany. It had a hugely positive impact. She knew she wanted to create a structure for this info to be widely dispersed. “It's now uncontroversial to say that circadian biology controls and affects almost every aspect of our health”, she says. This has become ever more important as our lighting environment has changed. With artificial light 24/7, laptops, tablets and phones, we have inadvertently contributed to the chronic health problems in the industrialized world. “We're telling our body that it's noon in June when it's 8 pm in January.” “The light controls all of our hormone production. Our body is a symphony and light is the conductor”, says Meredith. What happens if we screw up our circadian rhythm? In the short term our energy is low, we feel tired and grumpy, and our digestion is off. “In the long term the disruption leads to alzheimer's, parkinson's, cancer and all sorts of diseases.” We have also more or less been lied to about the sun. It is not our enemy. Being exposed to sunlight has all sorts of beneficial effects, and we have a natural understanding of how to get healthy amounts of it. Quantum biology is at the intersection of quantum physics and biology. Meredith highlights the book “Life on the Edge – The Coming of Age of Quantum Biology” by Jim Al-Khalil and Johnjoe McFadden. The weird thing about the current dogma in mainstream science is that quantum effects cannot happen within living systems. Al-Khalil and McFadden challenged that constrained idea and did research that confirmed they were right. Realizing there is a quantum aspect to life has huge practical consequences for human health. “The body is a liquid crystal matrix, filled with fourth phase water that acts as a quantum communication medium”, says Meredith. Does Western medicine do more harm than good? “It does more good in acute situations, like accidents or major infections. But to maintain or regain optimal health, Western medicine does more harm. We can't outsource our health to our doctors.” Like many other spiritually oriented people, Meredith Oke is convinced we live in crucial times. “I think health care is in for a major shakeup. I already see it in the US.” The media and the education system will also go through big changes, Meredith thinks. When times are shaky, it is important to have like minded people close – one's ‘soul family', perhaps. “We have to invest in connections with other humans that we feel safe and free and happy to talk to – to stay aware and taking total responsibility for our experiences.” Quantum Biology Collective podcast and membership Meredith on Linkedin Meredith on Instagram

It's a challenge to make the best decisions in a world that is unpredictable and full of contradictions. Help is now available in the form of advice from quantum physicist Jim Al-Khalili, who shares 8 lessons from the heart of science that he says can help people get the most out of life. As he writes in The Joy of Science, Al-Khalili invites people to engage with the world as scientists have been trained to do. The scientific method has served mankind well in its quest to see things as they really are. Underpinning the scientific method are core principles that can be deployed outside of the laboratory too, in our own lives. Knowing the nature of truth and uncertainty, the role of doubt, the pros and cons of simplification, the value of guarding against bias, the importance of evidence-based thinking and more—Al-Khalili says these are all deeply relevant to everyday lives. Jim Al-Khalili is distinguished professor of theoretical physics at the University of Surrey and is one of Britain's best-known science communicators. His other books include The World According to Physics, Quantum: A Guide for the Perplexed, and Life on the Edge: The Coming of Age of Quantum Biology.  MLF ORGANIZER: Gerald Harris A Technology & Society Member-led Forum program. Forums at the Club are organized and run by volunteer programmers who are members of The Commonwealth Club, and they cover a diverse range of topics.

Our conversation with Dr. Clarice Aiello continues! In the beginning, Clarice actually didn't have a passion for science; she was a big reader and had little interest in math and related subjects. She originally wanted to be a journalist and when she didn't get into a journalism program, engineering became her plan B. That is how she discovered her love of physics. As an engineering student, Clarice met an amazing mentor who took her under his wing and introduced her to quantum mechanics–a truly life changing moment. “Nothing is linear; you end up where you end up. That's very scary and that is also the beauty of it,” Clarice explains as she reflects on the many detours and turns she has had in her career journey to become a quantum biologist. One of the biggest challenges facing the field of quantum biology, however, is the lack of acceptance as a legitimate field from other researchers within the biological sciences. Clarice explains how she is working with her colleagues to build out the field from the ground up; and one day she hopes that others will also see the vision of future discoveries that can come from understanding the intersection of biology and quantum engineering. Being a pioneer can be a lonely path, but someone has to do it!

Meet Dr. Clarice Aiello! She is a principal investigator at the quantum biology tech lab at the University of California, Los Angeles. Clarice has a background in quantum engineering, which means she studies the teeniest, tiniest particles that behave under their own special laws–the laws of quantum mechanics. Her current work combines her expertise to understand how nature might use quantum mechanics to function and function optimally. From her work she has seen that chemical reactions are directly affected by quantum mechanics, for example electrons use tunneling to optimize their function and magnetic fields influence chemical reactions due to a property called spin. This may come across as far out complicated science, but there are direct implications to how quantum phenomena, such as magnetic fields, cause changes in our cells which can lead to disease. As a primary investigator and leader of a research team the favorite part of her job is talking with her team about science.

"Essentially, what the thesis of the book is that science is really about finding simple solutions. And I guess one of the other themes of the book is that life appears like a scientist. It finds the simplest solutions to problems, and that's because there's a mechanism in natural selection, whereby stuff that is unnecessary gets removed by mutations. We lose stuff that is no longer useful for us. Like tails, for example, our ancestors had tails, and we don't because natural selection tends to go for simple solutions, and that's really what's made natural selection so successful, and it's also what makes science so successful too." Johnjoe McFadden is the author of Life is Simple, How Occam's Razor Set Science Free and Shapes the Universe. He obtained his PhD at Imperial College London and went on to work on human genetic diseases and then infectious diseases, at the University of Surrey.

His other books are Quantum Evolution: Life in the Multiverse, and Life on the Edge: The Coming of Age of Quantum Biology (co-authored with Jim Al-Khalili).

"Now, William of Occam was a theologian, really, but he was closer to being a logician. He worked with logic, and he went to study theology at the University of Oxford. He had an uncertain history. We don't really know anything about his childhood other than he was given to the Franciscans, which gives you a clue he might have been an abandoned child, an orphaned child, an illegitimate child and just left at the monastery. So we don't really know anything much about his early life, but we do know he went to walk Oxford to study theology. And to give you a feeling for what the problem was really, theology was at that time called the Queen of Sciences. And that's because the way that people thought about the world is that theology, religion, metaphysics were all one. So yes, they had gods or angels in the sky pushing the heavenly bodies, and they had those spirits on earth causing plagues and stuff. And it was all one place. Everything was one place but with lots and lots of entities. And also part of the reason why it was called a science is that Thomas Aquinas a century earlier - another great theologian - had incorporated Aristotle's philosophy into Christian theology and came up with what he called theology as a science."Johnjoe McFadden is the author of Life is Simple, How Occam's Razor Set Science Free and Shapes the Universe.

So you get a full experience of what the artist had or as close as he or she can make it. So I think that to me is what art does. It's a way of communicating these wonderful ideas and feelings that we have inside our heads. And they're trapped there, and art allows you - by playing music or painting, or writing poetry... - it allows you to communicate this in this holistic kind of way."www.surrey.ac.uk/people/johnjoe-mcfaddenhttps://johnjoemcfadden.co.ukwww.basicbooks.com/titles/johnjoe-mcfadden/life-is-simple/9781549112119www.creativeprocess.infowww.oneplanetpodcast.org

"I listened to something recently by Philip Glass. It was fantastic kind of symphonic stuff with dance and video and kind of theater in it, as well. And it's throwing all of this at you. And the hope, I think, of the artist is they're doing this kind of multisensory projection to try to grow in your mind the idea that Philip Glass had in his mind when he was writing this music. And just talking it through, if Philip Glass just said I was thinking this and this, then it's dissected and it's gone. The magic of it was its holistic nature.

"Essentially, what the thesis of the book is that science is really about finding simple solutions. And I guess one of the other themes of the book is that life appears like a scientist. It finds the simplest solutions to problems, and that's because there's a mechanism in natural selection, whereby stuff that is unnecessary gets removed by mutations. We lose stuff that is no longer useful for us. Like tails, for example, our ancestors had tails, and we don't because natural selection tends to go for simple solutions, and that's really what's made natural selection so successful, and it's also what makes science so successful too."

Guest artist LINDSAY SEERS    joins Elizabeth Fullerton to chat about her work via Russell Hoban's 1980 novel 'Riddley Walker'. A child of sorts in a futurist, post-nuclear explosion setting which harks back to the iron age, far from walking, the narrator Riddley is on the run. His patriarchal heritage has deemed him 'connexion man' and alongside his role of puppeteer, interpreter and propaganda pusher, Riddley begins to uncover the truth of past cleverness which is officially prohibited under religious conjecture. He throws himself to the dogs and together they journey through danger and forbidden knowledge in a story held together by a fragmented new language.   Layering ideas and various time zones, Lindsay Seers and Elizabeth Fullerton explore imposter syndrome, hunger for power, problems with articulation, excess of language, confusion, the puppet who overwhelms the puppetmaster, the search for new forms of artwork, becoming a camera, character instability, non normative brains, compassion, discomfort, connections, coincidences, blips, misunderstandings, signs, traces, unknown causes, unknown effects, mass hallucination, states of becoming, constant evolution, multitude of narratives, grand historical narratives, personal history, quantum theory, quantum biology, metaphysics, unified consciousness, the impossibility of identifying origin, and eye gouging.   (This episode is co-produced by Jillian Knipe and Elizabeth Fullerton with music by Griffin Knipe and image by Joanna Quinn of Beryl Productions)   LINDSAY SEERS lindsayseers.info instagram lindsayseers1 'Entangled' 'Every Thought There Ever Was' 'Nowhere Less Now'    The following references are mentioned on Podcast Episode 22 or suggested by guest artist Lindsay Seers :    AUTHORS & BOOKS  Anthony Burgess 'A Clockwork Orange' 1962 Arto Paasilinna Brian Massumi 'What Animals Teach Us About Politics' 2017 EE Cummings Frances Yates Gerard Manley Hopkins James Joyce Jim Al-KKhalili & Johnjoe McFadden 'Life on the Edge : The Coming of Age of Quantum Biology' 2014 Jeremy Cooper 'Bolt From the Blue' 2021 Kevin Breathnach 'Tunnel Vision' 2019 Lindsay Seers 'Human Camera' 2007 T S Eliot Virginia Woolf   THEORISTS Benjamin Libet - Libet's Clock Carl Jung, psychiatrist Giles Deuleuze Henri Bergson Jacques Lacan, psychoanalyst John Dee Maurice Merleau-Ponty Samuel Barclay Beckett, novelist and playwright   ARTISTS & GALLERIES & ART ORGS Artangel Derek Jarman 'Jubilee' 1978 Ewerk, Berlin Fabrica Gallery, Brighton UK Focal Point Gallery, Southend-on-Sea UK Hospitalfield Gallery, Arbroath, Scotland UK Ikon Gallery, Birmingham UK John Hansard Gallery, Southampton UK MONA (Tasmania), Australia Nine Elms site, Matt's Gallery, London UK Robin Klassnik, Matt's Gallery, London UK Sharha Art Foundation, UAE Sursock Museum, Lebanon Tate, London UK   TELEVISION & FILM Everything by Adam Curtis (English documentary filmaker) 'The Bridge' series 2011 'The Fly' film series 'The Quartermass Experiment' series 1953 'Twin Peaks' series 1990 'Twin Peaks : The Return' series 2020    

Professor Johnjoe McFadden is on the show today, he is Professor of Molecular Genetics at the University of Surrey. His principle field of research is in molecular genetics, particularly of microbes that cause infectious diseasesand particularly antimicrobial resistance. Initially he did his PhD at Imperial College London and went on to work on human genetic diseases.As well as studying infectious disease he has also been an advocate for Quantum Biology for nearly twenty years. In 2014, he, with the physicist, Jim Al-Khalili wrote ‘Life on the Edge: The Coming of Age of Quantum Biology’, describing recent exciting discoveries of quantum mechanisms in photosynthesis, bird navigation, enzymes and maybe even consciousness.Today we talk about:What causes resistant bacteriaThe ‘scary twin’ phenomenonWhat we can learn from multidrug resistant TB (MDRTB)Issues with the current use of antimicrobials and how we can reduce the burdenHow quantum biology relates to human consciousnessCheck out The Doctor's Kitchen website for full show notes and social media links for this and all other episodes See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

ENCORE Einstein thought that quantum mechanics might be the end of physics, and most scientists felt sure it would never be useful. Today, everything from cell phones to LED lighting is completely dependent on the weird behavior described by quantum mechanics. But the story continues. Quantum computers may be millions of times faster than your laptop, and applying them to big data could be transformational for biology and health. Quantum entanglement – “spooky” action at a distance – may not allow faster-than-light communication, but could be important in other ways. And there's even the suggestion that quantum mechanics defines the difference between life and death.
