This week our guest is Josiah Zayner, who just might be the most prominent and controversial biohacker out there right now. He's done numerous experiments that have drawn both positive and negative attention, such as transplanting the microbiome of another person into his body, attempting to genetically alter the color of his skin, and injecting CRISPR modifications into his body to enhance his muscles. As radical as these things may sound, he does have a PhD in biosphysics and previously worked for NASA genetically modifying organisms for mars, so he's not exactly an amateur. In this episode we explore Josiah's journey from traditional scientist to biohacker, and along the way discuss the possibilities of gene editing, the dangers, and how we should regulate and navigate this future inevitability.

Our genetic information makes us who we are. "Hacking" into such an essential part of nature used to be something that happened only in science fiction. However, technology and scientific knowledge are evolving rapidly and "bio-hacking" has gone from sci-fi to reality. In fact, scientists and doctors around the world are conducting studies to see whether genetic engineering techniques could be used as interventions for various diseases like sickle cell disease and beta thalassemia. On this week's episode, we explore what our future could look like if we start to modulate our own biology at the genetic level. Dr. Josiah Zayner, CEO of the ODIN and promoter of DIY biology, shared his passion for hands-on science, learning from self-experimentation and genetic engineering in his own home. The techniques and the potential of genetic engineering were further explained by Andrew Hessel, a "genomic futurist" and co-lead of the Genome Project-Write. We also spoke with Dr. Michael Szego, Clinical Ethicist and Assistant Professor, Departments of Family and Community Medicine and Molecular Genetics, University of Toronto, to weigh in on the role of ethics in genetic engineering. Finally, our team reflected on how we envision "biohacking" in the future. Are you ready to biohack yourself? Tune in to find out!

The average life expectancy in the United States is about 78 years. But what if it were 120 years? Or 300 years? Can technology really improve our bodies to increase our longevity? We begin by hearing from Josiah Zayner, a bio-hacker who took his gut health into his own hands. Then, host Claire L. Evans talks with transhumanist researcher Natasha Vita-More about how living longer might change the way we live our lives right now, and how it could affect our society for generations to come.

Josiah Zayner live streamed injecting himself with gene editing compound CRISR at a biotech conference. He sells DIY CRISPR and other biohacking paraphernalia on his website The Odin. Now he's being investigated by Consumer Affairs in California for practicing medicine without a license.

Josiah Zayner calls himself a biohacker. He's got a Ph.D. in molecular biophysics from the University of Chicago and worked as a fellow in NASAs synthetic biology program. But it is Zayner's evangelism for democratizing the tools of biotechnology, his flair for attention-grabbing self-experimentation, and efforts to share the knowledge and equipment necessary to perform procedures like gene editing that have given him some notoriety. As founder and CEO of The ODIN, Zayner is helping move biotechnology from the labs of universities and biopharmaceutical companies to high schools and garages. We spoke to Zayner about his efforts, how biotechnology is becoming accessible to laypeople, and how he sees this fueling innovation.

What if instead of changing the Martian environment to better suit human life... we changed the human being — genetically? In conversation with Josiah Zayner, George Church, and Paul Dabrowski, we take a look at redesigning the human being into a species capable of thriving on an alien world. Then, what are the ethical concerns of biological self-determination, and why are people so afraid of genetic engineering?

Welcome to an Unfiltered episode of the HVMN Podcast. This is a raw conversation centered on a hot and recent topic...breaking news style. In what will probably be known as the most controversial & groundbreaking scientific advancement this year, Chinese scientist Dr. He Jiankui announced last week at the end of November 2018 that he created the world’s first genetically edited babies. Specifically, he used CRISPR to create immunity to HIV in twins, which were born earlier this year. The blowback was immediate, with virtually the entire scientific community criticizing Dr. He as unethical. China’s vice minister of science and technology called the experiment unacceptable and said Dr. He’s scientific activities would be suspended. Geoff chats with Dr. Josiah Zayner, a biohacker & CEO of the Odin - a genetic engineering company. Dr. Zayner was one of the first people to inject CRISPR to genetically edit his arm muscle tissue. We discuss this scientific milestone of CRISPR babies, the ethical and moral questions surrounding the research and the subsequent birth of these babies,  and what this may mean for the future now that the Pandora’s box of has been opened. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Don't miss out on this month's podcast offer: www.hvmn.com/pod  Take a short survey that will help us improve the podcast and be entered in a HVMN Ketone giveaway: https://go.hvmn.com/podcastsurvey We also want to hear from our listeners/viewers!

Nell'articolo si spiega come ci sia un'azienda (The Odin, fondata da Josiah Zayner) che, senza la benché minima consapevolezza (o forse proprio con l'intenzione più totale) sta vendendo online kit di Cripr-Cas9, una tecnologia capace di intervenire sul codice genetico di batteri, virus, animali e esseri umani, consentendo una manipolazione completa del DNA, in modo sostanzialmente semplice ma, soprattutto, a basso costo.

Hey everyone, welcome back to Bionic Bug podcast! You’re listening to episode 20. This is your host Natasha Bajema, fiction author, futurist, and national security expert. I’m recording this episode on September 9, 2018. No personal updates today since I just recorded an episode yesterday. Let’s jump right in to the tech news. My first headline is “Researchers to Release Genetically Engineered Mosquitoes in Africa for First Time” published in Scientific American on September 5. Up to 10,000 bugs could be deployed. Okay, you all know how I feel about bugs, right? Let’s delve into the article. What’s happening here? "The government of Burkina Faso granted scientists permission to release genetically engineered mosquitoes. This is part of broad efforts to use bioengineering to eliminate malaria in the region." "This will be the first time that any genetically engineered animal is released into the wild in Africa." "Genetically engineered mosquitoes have already been released in places like Brazil and the Cayman Islands, though animals with gene drives have never been released in the wild." "Teams in three African countries—Burkina Faso, Mali, and Uganda—are building the groundwork to eventually let loose “gene drive” mosquitoes, which would contain a mutation that would significantly and quickly reduce the mosquito population." What are gene drives? We’ve been tinkering with genetics for thousands of years. Think about the examples of livestock breeding or dog breeding. A gene drive is a technique that promotes the inheritance of a particular gene to increase its prevalence in the population. During normal reproduction, two versions of a gene has a 50 percent chance of being inherited by a particular offspring Gene drives circumvent these traditional rules and greatly increase the odds that the desired gene will be passed on to offspring In other words, gene drives could alter the traits of entire populations of organisms. My first thought was “what could possibly go wrong?” Mosquitoes are bad. And malaria is a leading killer of human populations in developing countries. Then I thought about what Michael Crichton’s Dr. Ian Malcolm would say. A few quotes come to mind: “Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.” “If there's one thing the history of evolution has taught us, it's that life will not be contained. Life breaks free, it expands to new territories, and crashes through barriers painfully, maybe even dangerously, but, uh, well, there it is.” “Gene Editing: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO)” John Oliver did a stint about gene editing on July 1, which is hilarious and offers some good info about CRISPR and gene drives. It also features (makes fun of) my recent podcast guest, Dr. Josiah Zayner, who has expressed his amusement at making it onto John Oliver’s show. My favorite part is when Dr. George Church, a famous geneticist, is asked if it would be possible to create a unicorn. I think I nearly fell of my chair, laughing at the look on his face and his answer. It’s definitely worth a watch. My second headline is “Russia, US Are In a Military Exoskeleton Race” published on August 30 by Patrick Tucker at Defense One. This caught my attention primarily because the plot in Project Gecko revolves around a military battle suit race between the U.S. and China. For years, the U.S. SOCOM has been developing TALOS, the next generation battle suit. The suit will integrate many emerging technologies, but also include an exoskeleton which will improve soldiers’ strength, agility and endurance. Russia is developing its own suit called the Ratnik-3 and has already tested a prototype. The limiting factor in the advancement of both suits appears to be current battery technologies. Let’s turn to Bionic Bug. Last week, Lara had a strange meeting with John Fiddler,

The heart of all life is DNA. What possibilities open up when one can directly manipulate and alter this fundamental building block…in humans? Josiah Zayner, who holds a PhD in Molecular Biophysics and previously worked with NASA on engineering bacteria to terraform Mars, was drawn to explore the applications genetic engineering could bring to humanity. So much so, in fact, that Josiah performed multiple self-experiments, attempting to genetically engineer the color of his skin and becoming the first known person to directly edit his genes with CRISPR-Cas9. In this discussion, you'll discover: - The nuances of genetic engineering: What it means, how it's done, and why it's currently largely inaccessible - Increasing creativity and divergent thinking by thought expansion by reading atypical books - How the biohacking space can mature and evolve alongside established regulation agencies like the FDA.

Hey everyone, welcome back to Bionic Bug podcast! You’re listening to episode 12. This is your host Natasha Bajema, fiction author, futurist, and national security expert. I’m recording this episode on July 8, 2018. First off, I have a personal update. Next week, I’m headed to New York City for ThrillerFest, which is the premiere conference for thriller enthusiasts, bringing together famous authors and new ones along with industry professionals, agents, and fans. This year, George R.R. Martin, author of Song of Ice and Fire, more popularly known as the HBO drama Game of Thrones will serve as the ThrillerMaster. I’m a huge fan of the books and the series and look forward to meeting him. I’ll also be meeting with agents to pitch the Lara Kingsley series in the hopes that I’m offered a publishing deal. More likely, my soul will be crushed and I’ll have to drink away my sorrows. Stay tuned for more information. If you’re enjoying the show, please leave a review on iTunes.

This week, I have two headlines for you, both are more funny than serious. “German Police Raid Augsburg Fablab, Confiscate 3D Printed “Atom Bomb” July 5 on all3DP.com On June 20, German Police raided a Fablab in Augsburg, Germany, where they confiscated a 3-inch tall 3D printed "Atom Bomb". Let me be clear this is a plastic model of the Fat Man implosion bomb from 1945. It is made of thermoplastic. It is the equivalent of a plastic toy. FabLabs are DIY lab spaces open to the local community. Anyone can join in and learn how to use 3D printers. FabLabs have sprung up around the world to encourage people to experiment with this new technology. This particular lab is located in Augsburg, Germany. The founder of the open lab and all individuals present during the raid were arrested for setting off explosive materials. They were later released. In a YouTube video, you can see some dudes launching the plastic model from a spring launcher, somewhat like a nerf launcher. They’re trying to launch it into an open vent. This incident demonstrates the difficulty of mitigating the risks of technology with broad accessibility. 3D printers can be used to make harmless, plastic toys, but they can also be used to make nefarious items such as guns, IEDs and more. Governments will face enormous challenges trying to police what individuals are now capable of doing within the privacy of their own homes. This story resonates with me because I bought a 3D printer about a year ago. And one of my first projects was an attempt to design a 3D model of the Fat Man bomb as a gimmick to promote a series of fiction books I was working on. I gave up trying to design a model myself because the available 3D modeling software was too difficult to use in just a few hours. Perhaps, I can just download their model and customize it.   “Gene Editing: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO)” John Oliver did a stint about gene editing on July 1, which is hilarious and offers some good info about CRISPR and gene drives. It also features (makes fun of) my recent podcast guest, Dr. Josiah Zayner, who has expressed his amusement at making it onto John Oliver’s show. My favorite part is when Dr. George Church, a famous geneticist, is asked if it would be possible to create a unicorn. I think I nearly fell of my chair, laughing at the look on his face and his answer. It’s definitely worth a watch. Let’s turn to Bionic Bug. Last week, Lara visited the National Cryptologic Museum to meet with her mysterious stalker. Unfortunately, he was a no-show, but left a note and cut the fuel line on Lara’s motorcycle. In Chapter 12, Lara is with Detective Sanchez at the police station to meet with the medical examiner. Let’s find out what happens next.

Are designer babies going to become a reality in the near future? Will you someday be able to upgrade your own DNA, purely for enhancement and cosmetic reasons? What will be some of the ethical implications along with that and what exactly is genetic engineering technology like CRISPR actually being used for today?    On this episode Cormac speaks to former NASA employee and biohacker Josiah Zayner who sells CRISPR DNA kits for use at home, Director for the Centre for Genetics and Society Marcy Darnovsky talks about the ethical implications involved, Director of Communications from the Centre for Genetics and Society Kevin Doxzen about gene editing to save chocolate and assistant Professor from Trinity College Dublin's Immunology and Biochemistry Department Dr. Vincent Kelly, about where and how the technology is actually being used today. 

Hey everyone, welcome back to Bionic Bug podcast! You’re listening to episode 9. This is your host Natasha Bajema, fiction author, futurist, and national security expert. I’m recording this episode on June 17, 2018. I hope you didn’t miss my special episode on June 7 where I interviewed biohacker Josiah Zayner about genetic engineering, CRISPR, frogs and much more. You can see the episode as recorded LIVE on YouTube as well. Today, I’m going to discuss a few headlines and then get right into chapter 9 of Bionic Bug.

I have a few interesting headlines for you this week. “Artificial Intelligence to Weaponize Fake Video” The headline is from May 23 and comes from freebeacon.com. We live in an era of fake news. The line between fact and fiction has blurred, and political spin has taken over our discourse in the United States. We’ve already seen some of the consequences of this, and I’m afraid there’s much more are to come. I think by now most of us are familiar with images being photoshopped. There’s a new trend on the rise that is far more troubling called deep fakes. Today’s technology allows for the production of high-quality fake videos. And increasingly, these could be made by machine learning tools. Think about it. We can now put words into people’s mouths and show them on video. Soon we won’t be able to tell a real video from a fake one. This is extremely worrisome for the future of our country and democracy in general. In Project Gecko, I touch upon some of the consequences of this trend. Stay tuned for more information on its release. “An Icelandic Inventor Has Achieved the Holy Grail of Airborne Technology with a Drone that Looks and Flies like a Bird” This headline is from May 29 and comes from Nordic.businessinsider.com An inventor has developed an AI-powered drone that flies like a bird. Let’s unpack that. First, the drone is so similar to a bird that radars can’t tell the difference. This is problematic for detection of drones. Second, drones are pretty noisy. This drone has the ability to fly without the rotors and flaps its wings like a bird. That limits acoustic detection. Third, it’s powered by AI, giving it an impressive level of autonomy The company expects to have a fully developed product by 2020. The price tag will be about $80-92K per drone. Okay, so none of us are going out and buying one of these. But they could come into use by law enforcement and military – a similar military drone, the Raven, costs twice as much. Let’s turn to Bionic Bug. Last time, we left off with Lara’s visit to DARPA. There she learns more details about the drones used in the drone show at Nationals Park and meets two new characters, Dr. Anton Stepanov and Justyne Marsh. Let’s find out what happens next.

Josiah Zayner, jeune bio-hacker californien, a tenté de modifier son ADN pour paraître plus musclé. Pour ce faire, il a utilisé ce qu’on appelle les « ciseaux du génome » : l’enzyme CRISPR-Cas9, ciblée sur la myostatine, la protéine qui limite la croissance des tissus musculaires. Si l’opération aboutit, les conséquences pourraient être lourdes… 64 ans après la découverte de l’ADN, l’humain est désormais capable d’expérimenter sur son propre génome.

Josiah Zayner, jeune bio-hacker californien, a tenté de modifier son ADN pour paraître plus musclé. Pour ce faire, il a utilisé ce qu'on appelle les « ciseaux du génome » : l'enzyme CRISPR-Cas9, ciblée sur la myostatine, la protéine qui limite la croissance des tissus musculaires. Si l'opération aboutit, les conséquences pourraient être lourdes… 64 ans après la découverte de l'ADN, l'humain est désormais capable d'expérimenter sur son propre génome. La génétique sert dans la médecine, particulièrement de précision, pour personnaliser un traitement. Elle est aussi utilisée pour la détection de maladie, même chez l'embryon, ou encore par la police scientifique pour identifier des suspects. Quatre chercheurs sont à l'origine de la théorisation de cette molécule. Trois seulement ont remporté un Prix Nobel : les travaux de la chercheuse Rosalind Francklin ont été, un moment, occultés. La génétique, une histoire sulfureuse, c'est le thème de cette nouvelle émission du Labo des savoirs. Nouveau ! L'émission du Labo des savoirs se lit aussi sur les réseaux sociaux.

Peak performance has always been about getting as close to your genetic potential as possible. The limits of your training, nutrition, and recovery are dictated by your DNA. But what if they weren’t? What if you could change the genetic code you were born with? As sequencing DNA gets cheaper and faster, and gene-editing tools get more precise and easy to use, we’re progressing toward a world where we might all have perfect DNA for our chosen sport—and be able to change it whenever we want. But getting there will be risky. In this final installment of our four-part look at the science of performance, Outside editor Christopher Keyes looks at the efforts of Josiah Zayner, who is taking a damn-the-torpedoes approach to doing everything he can to bring gene editing to a laboratory—or even a garage—near you.

On this episode, Dr. Josiah Zayner joins us all the way from San Francisco. Josiah got his bachelor’s degree in plant biology at Southern Illinois University, his master’s degree in cell and molecular biology at Appalachian State, and then his PhD in Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics at the University of Chicago. He worked as a research scientist at NASA in the synthetic biology program before leaving to work full-time as a biohacker. He is the founder and CEO of The Odin and has gained a lot of attention for his creative and daring approach to science. We talked about NASA, the future of scientific inquiry, self-experimentation, and so much more!

Institute for the Future researchers Mark Frauenfelder and David Pescovitz talk with rogue biophysicist Josiah Zayner about affordable tools for DIY genetic engineering and how to hack your biome.

Lynn Hershman. Civic Radar | Vortragsabend Vortrag/Gespräch Fr, 27.02.2015 Das Begleitprogramm zur Ausstellung »Lynn Hershman Leeson. Civic Radar« rückt Einzelaspekte aus dem vielschichtigen Werk der Künstlerin in den Fokus. Der Vortragsabend »The Infinity Engine« beleuchtete das neueste Werk von Lynn Hershman Leeson, aus kunsthistorischer, naturwissenschaftlicher und künstlerischer Perspektive. Ingeborg Reichle diskutiert die verschiedenen Bestandteile der komplexen Installation vor dem Hintergrund von Laboratorien im Kunstkontext, Uwe Strähle untersucht die innovative Arbeit aus der Praxis der Genforschung heraus. Lynn Hershman Leeson erläuterte in der anschließenden Diskussion das Konzept und die Realisierung des Werks. In ihrer neuesten Arbeit »The Infinity Engine« setzt sich Lynn Hershman Leeson mit dem Einfluss der Gentechnologie auf das menschliche Leben auseinander. Die multimediale Installation wurde in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Biologen Josiah Zayner entwickelt und nimmt Bezug auf naturwissenschaftliche Genlaboratorien. Am Beispiel von Fotografien und Filmen zu den neuesten Errungenschaften der Molekular- und Zellbiologie sowie gentechnisch veränderten Organismen soll die Frage aufgeworfen werden, inwiefern menschliche Eingriffe in die DNA ethisch vertretbar sind und welche sozialen, politischen und gesellschaftlichen Auswirkungen sie haben. Indem sie ihre Arbeit ausgehend von realen Forschungsergebnissen entwickelt und die neuesten Technologien einsetzt, stellt die US-amerikanische Medienkünstlerin aktuelle Erkenntnisse aus der Naturwissenschaft in einem künstlerischen Rahmen zur Diskussion. /// Lecture/Talk Fr, 27.02.2015 Lecture on the topic »art and genetic engineering« with Ingeborg Reichle, Uwe Strähle and Lynn Hershman Leeson. In her most recent work »The Infinity Engine« Lynn Hershman Leeson examines the impact of genetic engineering on human life. The multimedia installation, in collaboration with the biologist Josiah Zayner, was developed with reference to natural scientific genetic laboratories. One of the questions which arises in connection with photographic and film samples of the most recent achievements in molecular and cell biology, as well as genetically altered organisms, is the degree to which human interventions into DNA are ethically justifiable and what kinds of social, political and social impact these have. In so far as she develops her work as based on real research results and draws on state of the art technologies, the North American media artist presents for discussion cutting-edge knowledge in the natural sciences within the context of art. The lecture evening throws light on the »Infinity Engine« from art-historical, natural scientific and artistic perspectives: Ingeborg Reichle discusses the various elements of the complex installation against the background of laboratories in the context of art; Uwe Strähle examines the innovative work based on the practice of genetic research; while in the subsequent discussion Lynn Hershman Leeson explains the concept and realization of the work in greater detail.
