“We need positive visions of how all this technology gets deployed, because what we visualize is what we build.” –Jane Metcalfe In this episode of Deviate, Rolf and Jane talk about the pioneering work she did with Wired during the dawn of the “digital revolution” (3:00); how and why Jane’s professional focus shifted away from digital issues and into food and health issues in the ’00s (15:00); how science is trying to bring in diverse new data points and communication models to improve holistic health worldwide (28:30); how the health of the world’s humans is not separate from the health of the world’s animals, plants, and microorganisms, and how a bio-economy seeks to harness rather than extract the resources of nature (41:00); how regional and cultural differences affect how we perceive health, nutrition, and technology, and the importance of ethics in making scientific decisions (51:00). Jane Metcalfe (@janemetcalfe) is the co-founder of Wired Magazine, and the chair of the Human Immunome Project, a global non-profit working to decode the immune system in order to transform how we prevent, diagnose, and treat disease.

Maybe it was a factor of exhaustion with everything going on – trying to orchestrate my mother's rescue from Florida, plus navigating a forthcoming job change – but I have not recorded but one podcast episode since last Wednesday when I found out my mother was in the midst of Hurricane Ian. However, I have just listened to five audiobooks over this past weekend. And now that I am feeling a bit more rested and settled, with my brother on his way to Florida even now to get our mother and bring her back here to Colorado while things get settled with cleanup and insurance, et cetera, I would like to get back into podcasting. And, yes, I did listen to five audiobooks over the weekend. This was good to get my mind off other things, but not tiring to hear so much as I was feeling tired from speaking for a bit. So what did I listen to, and what did I make of what I heard? Let me tell you all about it. First, I listened to 'The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity' by Carlo M. Cipolla. I found his work here, published in 1988, to be mean, unfunny, and condescending, though I was lead to believe on the front-end that it was supposed to be humorous. It reminded me too much of ‘Nudge' and ‘The Undoing Project,' and I suppose it could be seen as a cousin to those works. This is a short book, but that's hardly as much a redeeming quality as a mercy. I did not like it, and it got on my nerves. The fact that there are so many stupid people is too obvious. How we talk about this fact, and relate to it – that is my concern. Second, I took in 'Beauty: A Very Short Introduction' by Roger Scruton. Published in 2009, this work by Scruton – esteemed British conservative political philosopher is indeed philosophical, and much more contemporary. Scruton references Burke's earlier work, of course, which I have also read and reviewed, and admittedly liked better, as much or more because of it being older. But this treatment by Scruton is high-minded, very British, and intellectual, as well as more academic in a way that is less forgivable for having been written in 2009 instead of 1757. Next was 'The Smallest Minority: Independent Thinking in the Age of Mob Politics' by Kevin D. Williamson. This work reminded me of Tom Wolfe in Radical Chic and Mau-mauing the Flak-Catchers, but it was not as pleasant a work as either of those. But Williamson is not as good a writer as Wolfe by a long shot. One of the most annoying features of this book, published in 2019, was the constant pandering potshots at Trump and his supporters. The final word on him to my way of thinking is that he reminds me too much of the atheist kid in high school trying to mock and argue everyone into renouncing Christianity. After that was 'Science and Technology,' a collection of interviews with Neil Postman, Jane Metcalfe, Howard Rheingold, Mark Slouka, Andrew Kimbrell, Doug Groothius, Dean Kenyon, Philip Johnson, and Michael Behe. If I have two criticisms of this collection of interviews, it is that they are too short and more thinking out loud to frame the problem than prescribing what we can do about any of it. This is more a chronicle than a tonic, perhaps. Last, but certainly not least, I read 'A Journey to the Western Islands of Scotland,' by Samuel Johnson and James Boswell. And when I say this was not least, what I really mean is that this was my favorite by a good bit of the five books I read this weekend. Written first-hand by both men, then compiled together after their traveling in 1773, this was a charming and elegantly phrased collection of character sketches of the people and places and country. Johnson comments on the migration of Scots to America, for instance. And I know the Acts of Union, plus other related contentions, drove a lot of Scots to emigrate to America. This having been true of my MacFarlane ancestors on my maternal grandmother's side, he has my undivided attention. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/garrett-ashley-mullet/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/garrett-ashley-mullet/support

In the early 1990s, emerging digital and Internet culture weren't mainstream, but it was clear they were going to change the world. People wanted to understand how these new technologies were going to impact them, so they turned to a technology they were already familiar with: magazines. Leading the charge was the most popular publication about the digital age: WIRED Magazine.Launched just as the World Wide Web was first gaining traction, WIRED Magazine quickly became the mouthpiece of the digital age. It was the resource people relied on when they wanted to understand not just what was happening with digital technology, but also the people behind it.On this episode of Web Masters, we hear the story of how -- and why -- WIRED got started from its co-creators, Jane Metcalfe and Louis Rossetto.For a complete transcript of the episode, click here.
Founder of NEO.LIFE Jane Metcalfe shares her thoughts on the possibilities offered by the neobiological revolution, how digital technology is changing how we understand and engineer biology, and the important role bio-artists play in helping to navigate the ethical implications of new innovations. Jane Metcalfe is an entrepreneur, publisher, speaker, advisor, manager, and investor. In 2017, she founded NEO.LIFE, a media and events company exploring the radical changes taking place in humans as we harness the tools of engineering and computer science to alter our own biology. Her new book, Neo.Life: 25 Visions for the Future of Our Species, co-edited with Brian Bergstein, was just selected for the AIGA's 50 Books/50 Covers list. She is best known as the co-founder and former president of Wired Ventures, whose businesses included Wired Magazine (US, UK, and Japanese editions), Wired News, the search engine HotBot, and Wired Books.

This week on The Room, we sit down with Jane Metcalfe. Jane was the co-founder of the legendary Wired magazine and media company, TCHO chocolates, and now NEO.LIFE. In the early 1990s, Jane and her life partner and co-founder Louis Rossetto came to the Bay Area with the idea and passion to build a magazine and media company devoted to cutting-edge technology. This magazine is what we now know as the iconic Wired, home to some of the most futuristic, but also technology-defining stories. Jane and Louis launched Wired with a big story to tell: the internet becoming mainstream. Today we chat with Jane to hear about her three-time founding stories, from media to chocolates, to biotech, Jane has seen it all and has some deep wisdom to share. Let's open the door.
Jim Joyce and I had our minds blown by the one and only Jane Metcalfe on this week's "Shot of #DigitalHealth Therapy". Launching and later selling WIRED, investing in a chocolate business (amongst others) and then diving into the neobiological revolution via NEO.LIFE, Jane was an amazing guest and we talked:
This week on the rose woman pod, Jane Metcalfe,the founder of WIRED, the magazine that became the media of record at the advent of the digital age, strikes again with NEO.LIFE. This episode is all about the biological revolution and how we understand the new sciences of life. We talk longevity, gender medicine and identity, science fiction and so much more.

The THCB Book Club is a discussion with leading health care authors, which will be released on the third Wednesday of every month. This month we hosted Jane Metcalfe (Founder of NEO.LIFE) to talk about her 2020 book NEO.LIFE. You can get a copy of it here! NEO.LIFE is a very unusual book. It's over 25 very short chapters (ranging from 1 page to 78) which include interviews, concepts, art, science, science fiction, and one short story. All from different authors or groups of authors that are all edited into place by Jane Metcalfe and Brian Bergstein. The topic is the future of humans! And the loose focus is on biotech, human engineering, and well watch along and get a copy! You can see the video below (and the podcast version will be in our iTunes & Spotify channels very soon). In October the THCB BookClub will feature Mike Magee's book, Code Blue.
The THCB Book Club is a discussion with leading health care authors, which will be released every month. And this is the first one! We kicked off with a new book from Hemant Teneja (VC at General Catalyst who has been writing many big checks lately) and Stephen Klasko (CEO at Jefferson Health System and one of the most unusual hospital system bosses in America). Their book is called “UnHealthcare: A Manifesto for Health Assurance” which is a how-to for creating a platform for a revolutionary future for health care. “UnHealthcare” is about a new concept called Health Assurance-- which Tenaja says is "an emerging category of consumer-centric, data-driven healthcare services that are designed to bend the cost curve of care and help us stay well.” Sitting in on the interview because we can't get rid of him was Glen Tullman from Livongo. (Just kidding, Glen!) He weighed in on how this connects with his new idea of Consumer Directed Virtual Care and the Teladoc-Livongo merger. In September the THCB Book Club will feature Jane Metcalfe with her 2020 book NEO.LIFE The original video recording of this interview is up on The Health Care Blog's YouTube Channel.
25 Visions for the Future of Our Species We now have the tools to transform ourselves and our species. Greater health and longevity, enhanced brains, and engineered fertility are in the works. What’s just over the horizon is even more astonishing. We call this the neobiological frontier. The book is a collection of 25 essays, interviews, and works of fiction and art offering a big-picture perspective on the profound changes made possible by the merging of biology and technology. The book brings together today's smartest and most creative inventors, thinkers, and scientists to tell us their vision of the future. This book is a 2020 time capsule for future humans. Neo.Life: 25 Visions for the Future of Our Species covers these powerful new biotechnologies and ideas in non-technical language, with beautiful full-color images and a fresh design by National Design Award winner Jennifer Morla. This book makes a compelling foundation for the discussions we’ll be having about these technologies for years to come, and as one observer said, it is definitely coffee table worthy, no matter which planet that table is on. Meet George Church, one of the most prodigious bioengineers of our time, in conversation with Ramez Naam, a computer scientist, clean tech investor, and science fiction author. George maintains a list of genes that could be edited to make humans healthier or more suited to future environmental conditions, including life off-planet. He’s also got an idea to send a single-cell biological probe to faraway worlds that could be programmed to beam information back to Earth. Consider neuroscientist David Eagleman’s ideas about how embryo selection could change the way we parent our children. Dive into an imagined future with inventor Danny Hillis as he guides you through the possibilities and pitfalls of designing your child from scratch using gene editing technology. Will you “supersize” them, or give them an extra appendage? If you bestow a color or pattern, keep in mind that it might be trendy today but look dated 10 years from now.
