Hace 2.000 millones de años, la aparición de las células eucariotas revolucionó la vida en el planeta y con el tiempo darían lugar a protistas, plantas, hongos y animales. Para explicar su origen, Lynn Margulis propuso en la década de 1960 su teoría endosimbiótica, en la que una célula primitiva engulló a otra, dando origen a las mitocondrias. Seis décadas después, un trabajo liderado por científicos españoles, con la ayuda del supercomputador MareNostrum 5 de Barcelona, confirma que la intuición de Margulis fue acertada, aunque replantea el origen de nuestras células como una historia de alianzas microbianas con actores hasta ahora desconocidos. Hemos entrevistado a Toni Gabaldón, profesor ICREA, director del grupo de Genómica Comparada en el BSC y en el IRB, y líder de la investigación.-Faltan menos de dos meses para el eclipse total de Sol que podremos ver en buena parte de la Península Ibérica y son muchas las iniciativas en marcha. La última, de la Sociedad Española de Astronomía, es “Un mundo de eclipses”, un atlas interactivo sobre las interpretaciones de los eclipses solares en las culturas del mundo. Hemos hablado con Montse Villar, coordinadora del proyecto. Hemos informado de la concesión del Premio Princesa de Asturias de la Concordia 2026 a la astronauta estadounidense Christina Koch por "extender las fronteras de la humanidad, apoyada en un amplio trabajo colectivo". Koch fue miembro de la tripulación de Artemisa II alrededor de la Luna, y durante su estancia en la EEI fue la primera mujer en protagonizar una caminata espacial y la que más tiempo ha permanecido en el espacio.

Arranquem la cinquena temporada del Blau de Prússia. En l'anterior temporada els investigadors es movien per la nau Margulis, a l'espai. En aquesta, seguim la seva estela i el llegat d'aquesta gran científica, que va defensar tota la vida que la simbiosi, el que entenem com lacooperació entre els organismes, és un dels motors clau de l'evolució. Margulis va demostrar que estem construïts amb bacteris associades entre si, i que dins de cada cèl·lula nostra encara hi ha el rastre d'aquella decisió: cooperar en lloc de devorar-se mútuament. En aquesta nova temporada parlem també de la necessària simbiosi que crea el brou de cultiu necessari perquè prosperi la investigació i la ciència. I anirem on cal anar per entendre de veritat com es desenvolupen les carreres científiques; anirem als orígens. El científic neix o es crea? Hi ha una pregunta que la ciència no acaba de respondre sobre ella mateixa. Podem mesurar el pes d'un neutrí. Podem veure morir una estrella a l'altra punta de l'univers. Però no sabem, amb certesa, per què algú decideix ser científic. O potser ni tan sols és una decisió. Lynn Margulis deia que les millors idees científiques passen per tres etapes: primer se les ridiculitza, després se les combat, finalment semblen òbvies. Com si sempre haguessin estat allà, esperant que algú les veiés. Potser els científics també funcionen així. Avui hem tornat enrere. Al lloc on tot comença. On la llum és tèbia i el so és un batec.

Nature in Crisis: 'Gaia: A New Look at Life on Earth' by James Lovelock

In ‘Gaia: A New Look at Life on Earth' (1979), James Lovelock proposed that the Earth is something like a single living organism, capable of manipulating its circumstances and the environment to suit its needs. While many scientists reject the fullest formulation of this idea, it has nonetheless had a profound influence on our understanding of the ways in which animal and plant life interact with the non-living parts of the environment, to the extent that observations in biological and earth systems science are often assessed for which version of Gaia they might support. In this episode, Meehan Crist and Peter Godfrey-Smith look at the origins of the Gaia hypothesis in the radical work of Lynn Margulis and the contributions of Lovelock's academic collaborator Dian Hitchcock, and in the science of cybernetics. They then consider the degree to which any formulation of Gaia can explain certain processes, from the impact of the ecological competition between daisies on the reflection of solar radiation to the carbon-silicate cycle and its control of carbon dioxide levels, and consider some of Lovelock's wilder theories, including his suggestion that humans should merge their minds with those of whales.

#991 Simbiogenesis: Mengapa Kita Membangun Miselium Daya?

Simbiogenesis merupakan proses revolusioner dalam sejarah kehidupan di mana organisme-organisme yang berbeda jenis bergabung secara fisik untuk membentuk entitas baru yang lebih kompleks dan tangguh. Lynn Margulis menegaskan bahwa perubahan besar dalam evolusi tidak terjadi melalui kompetisi murni, melainkan melalui penggabungan set gen lengkap dan integrasi mikroba, seperti bakteri perenang yang menyatu dengan bakteri pencinta panas untuk membentuk nenek moyang sel eukariotik. Proses "individualitas melalui penggabungan" ini menunjukkan bahwa kekuatan hidup sejati muncul saat perbedaan tidak lagi dipandang sebagai ancaman, melainkan sebagai aset untuk menciptakan level organisasi yang lebih tinggi. Prinsip biologis ini menemukan cerminannya dalam konsep "Miselium Daya," sebuah metafora untuk kekuatan jejaring sosial yang bekerja layaknya fungi di bawah tanah. Sebagaimana jamur mikoriza yang menjalin kemitraan dengan akar tumbuhan untuk mendistribusikan nutrisi dan air, daya komunitas tumbuh melalui pertautan yang saling menghidupi dan kolaborasi yang mendalam. Kemitraan simbiotik ini membuktikan bahwa keberhasilan sebuah sistem, baik biologis maupun sosial, bergantung pada kemampuannya untuk membangun koneksi sirkulasi nutrisi dan informasi yang adil dan merata bagi seluruh anggotanya. Akhirnya, simbiogenesis dan miselium daya mengajarkan kita untuk meninggalkan paradigma penguasaan menuju paradigma kemitraan yang berkelanjutan. Kehidupan di daratan maupun di dalam tatanan masyarakat hanya dapat berkembang jika ada keberanian untuk melakukan penggabungan radikal dan berbagi sumber daya demi kepentingan bersama. Dengan memahami bahwa kita semua adalah komposit dari hubungan-hubungan yang kompleks, kita dapat membangun resiliensi kolektif yang mampu menghadapi tantangan zaman layaknya Gaia, sistem planet yang tangguh dan selalu mampu meregenerasi dirinya sendiri melalui integrasi segala elemen di dalamnya

In dieser Folge spreche ich mit Dr. Wolfgang Brysch, Mediziner, Neurobiologe und Unternehmensgründer, über eines der zentralen Themen der Longevity-Forschung: unsere Mitochondrien. Diese Milliarden Zellkraftwerke rücken immer stärker ins Zentrum der Wissenschaft, denn sie sind nicht nur für die Energieversorgung unserer Zellen verantwortlich, sondern auch ein entscheidender Treiber des Alterns. Wolfgang Brysch erklärt, wie ihn die Begegnung mit einem schwer erkrankten Jungen vor zehn Jahren dazu brachte, tief in die Mitochondrien-Forschung einzutauchen und ein spezielles Nahrungsergänzungsmittel zu entwickeln. Wir sprechen über die evolutionäre Herkunft der Mitochondrien als ehemalige Bakterien, über ihre DNA, die Atmungskette und die Rolle freier Radikale. Außerdem diskutieren wir, welche Alterskrankheiten durch defekte Mitochondrien begünstigt werden, wie man die Mitochondrien-Fitness messen kann und welche Nahrungsergänzungsmittel, Lebensstilfaktoren und Gesundheitstechnologien die Zellkraftwerke wirklich unterstützen.In dieser Folge sprechen wir u.a. über folgende Themen:• Warum gelten Mitochondrien als zentrale Treiber des Alterns und was bedeutet Mitochondrien-Fitness?• Wie kam Dr. Wolfgang Brysch durch die Duchenne-Muskeldystrophie zur Mitochondrien-Forschung?• Weshalb besitzen unterschiedliche Zelltypen unterschiedlich viele Mitochondrien und welche Konsequenzen hat das?• Was hat es mit der Endosymbiontentheorie von Lynn Margulis und der bakteriellen Herkunft der Mitochondrien auf sich?• Wie entsteht oxidativer Stress durch freie Radikale in der Atmungskette und was hat Komplex 1 damit zu tun?• Welche Alterskrankheiten werden durch defekte Mitochondrien begünstigt – von Sarkopenie bis Demenz?• Wie lässt sich die Mitochondrien-Fitness messen – und welche Rolle spielt der VO2max-Wert?• Was bringen Sport, Intervallfasten und Kalorienrestriktion konkret für die Mitochondriengesundheit?#• Welche Nahrungsergänzungsmittel – von Q10 über Spermidin bis Urolithin A – unterstützen die Mitochondrien wirklich?• Weshalb warnt Dr. Brysch vor Hochdosis-Strategien und plädiert stattdessen für synergistische Kombinationen?• Welche Gesundheitstechnologien wie Rotlichttherapie, Kältetherapie und IHHT fördern die Zellkraftwerke zusätzlich?Weitere Informationen zu Dr. Wolfgang Brysch findest du hier:• https://www.iulabs.de/• linkedin.com/in/wolfgang-brysch-3a6a6375 Du interessierst dich für Gesunde Langlebigkeit (Longevity) und möchtest ein Leben lang gesund und fit bleiben, dann folge mir auch auf den sozialen Kanälen bei Instagram, TikTok, Facebook oder YouTube.https://www.instagram.com/nina.ruge.officialhttps://www.tiktok.com/@nina.ruge.officialhttps://www.facebook.com/NinaRugeOffiziellhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOe2d1hLARB60z2hg039l9gDisclaimer: Ich bin keine Ärztin und meine Inhalte ersetzen keine medizinische Beratung.

This one's going to rock your world. In episode 132 of Overthink, Ellie and David dig into the earth for the third part of their four-part series on the elements. They discuss everything from earthworms and carbon dating to the “solidity” of the earth. They look to Foucault, Freud, and Husserl for insights about how the earth can act as a metaphor for the mind and for the past. They also wonder: Is the earth inert matter or a living being? And why do so many creation myths present humans as “made” of earth/clay/mud? So, what is it that we actually mean when we talk about earth as an element? In the bonus, your hosts talk think through Heidegger's notion of ground and horizon, and the Western association of land with earth.Works Discussed: Michel Foucault, The Archeology of KnowledgeMartin Heidegger, “ The Origin of the Work of Art”Edmund Husserl, Crisis of the European SciencesDavid Macauley, Elemental Philosophy: Earth, Air, Fire, and Water as Environmental Ideas Thomas Nail, Theory of the EarthJames Lovelock, Gaia hypothesisDorian Sagan and Lynn Margulis, “God, Gaia, and Biophilia”Support the showPatreon | patreon.com/overthinkpodcast Website | overthinkpodcast.comInstagram & Twitter | @overthink_podEmail | dearoverthink@gmail.comYouTube | Overthink podcast

In the late 1970's, English chemist Dr. James Lovelock and American biologist Dr. Lynn Margulis published a research paper hypothesizing that living organisms – without intention or agency – could have a regulatory effect on their environment that helped ensure their continued habitability. While the Gaia hypothesis they originated has remained controversial for the last four decades, it has provided a provocative explanation for why the Earth remained more or less clement over its ~4 billion year history, even though the sun that warms it has grown about 30% brighter over that time span. Of course, there have been notable catastrophic exceptions to Earth's habitable stability – in the form of cataclysmic Snowball Earth events that froze the entire planet at least twice in its first 3.5 billion years of existence.  In our latest episode, Probable Futures founder Spencer Glendon explores another application of the Gaia Hypothesis, as it applies to human civilizations. In a December 2023 newsletter, Mr. Glendon examines how for much of the last 12,000 years, humans have been agents in shaping the stable global climate from which we are a beneficiary, through the expansion of agriculture and its related deforestation. By releasing CO2 at rates that balanced the cooling effects of various planetary orbital shifts, humans helped avoid the planet plunging into another Ice Age. But, much like the Snowball Earth events of the Precambrian Era, the advent and acceleration of fossil fuel combustion then shifted people's relationship with climate from stabilizing to potentially catastrophic. The difference between the ancient and modern examples is that now – with awareness of the problem – humans can impact their environment with intention and agency. Join us as we examine how past climate stability has shaped much of humanity's world view, and how that might impact our approach in responding to climate change now.  Follow us on Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram.Contact us at contact@climatenow.comVisit our website for all of our content and sources for each episode.

Una de las científicas más importantes en el campo de la evolución biológica... y sí, tampoco nadie nos habló de ella en la escuela. Se enfrentó a una bola de señores científicos que creían en Darwin ciegamente o creían que tenían toda la verdad con ellos. Y ella les calló la boca. No porque Darwin estuviera mal en todo, sino que en las llamadas "mutaciones" se quedó corto, y sus neo-darwinistas ya no quisieron ir más allá. Pero gracias a ella y a que no se les dejó, conocemos las células eucariotas y ahora sí sabemos cómo se transmiten y cambian las características biológicas de los seres vivos.

It is big and full of brain food and an enlivening opening of imagination to possibilities that are emergent now: the notion of the “broad commonwealth of life” that we are “inextricably entangled with and suffused by”; the paradox that the more accurately you try to measure some things, the more unmeasurable they become; the way words we use all the time have kept our cellular belonging to the natural world alive, even as civilization forgot. The technologist/artist James Bridle brings all of this into interplay with an intriguing, refreshing lens on our lives with technology — and with all that artificial intelligence is and might become.You might not think of intelligence the same way again, or the truth of mythology, or the letters of the alphabet, or what it means to be human. And you will smile next time you access the place where your digital life is stored and realize what it says about us that we named it The Cloud.James Bridle is an artist and technologist and author of the books Ways of Being: Animals, Plants, Machines: The Search for a Planetary Intelligence and New Dark Age: Technology and the End of the Future. Their writing has appeared in The Guardian, Wired, The Atlantic, and many other places. Their art has been exhibited around the world, including at NOME Gallery in Berlin.This interview is edited and produced with music and other features in the On Being episode "James Bridle — The Intelligence Singing All Around Us."

Esta semana en Mindfacts abordamos la "hipótesis Gaia" de James Lovelock y Lynn Margulis, que entiende la Tierra como un ente en equilibrio activo gracias a la presencia de la vida y con el objetivo de conservarla, autorregulándose como un organismo vivo. ¿Cómo son las ideas que propone y qué hay de científicamente demostrable en ellas?Jesús Callejo desarrolla el principio de la hipótesis Gaia para que todos la entendamos y Sergio Cordero nos cuenta el curriculum de James Lovelock y la importancia de la implicación de Lynn Margulis en esta idea. Mientras tanto, Alberto Espinosa trata de sobrevivir al rudio del taladro que suena desde casa de los vecinos, y Francisco Izuzquiza intenta poner orden en mitad de este caos.Gracias a vuestras escuchas hemos conseguido llevar juguetes a los niños en estas Navidades, y ya tenemos un nuevo objetivo: Conseguir donar muchos kilos de comida (el objetivo está en 1000) a un Banco de Alimentos, y así poder ayudar a gente que la necesita para poder mantenerse. ¡De nuevo, gracias por hacerlo posible!

On this episode of Let's Talk Creation, Todd and Paul interview special guest Dr. Joe Francis about the good, the bad, and the ugly microbes God has gifted the world. Dr. Joe Francis is Chairman of Biological and Physical Sciences at The Master's University in Santa Clarita, CA. Dr. Francis talks about what microbes are and how we interact with them on a daily basis. Microbes are everywhere and while there are really bad ones, there are also microbes that we and other creatures need to survive. They introduce the idea of symbiosis and why we should be thankful for microbes. Books and articles mentioned in the podcast:

Dr. Stephan Harding, a cofounder of Schumacher College (England) and senior lecturer in holistic science, is a pioneering scientist focused on earth sciences, deep ecology, and the theory of Gaia. His work stands on the shoulders of his friend and colleague James Lovelock, the originator of Gaia theory, and microbiologist Lynn Margulis, who bravely championed the idea of symbiosis as a driving force in evolution. In his new book, 'Gaia Alchemy: The Reuniting of Science, Psyche, and Soul,' Harding explores how Gaia manifests itself in human consciousness, feelings, and soul, and how Jungian depth psychology and the history of medieval alchemy can guide us to new insights.

Often seen as an outlier in science, Gaia has run a long and varied course since its formulation in the 1970s by atmospheric chemist James Lovelock and microbiologist Lynn Margulis. Gaian Systems: Lynn Margulis, Neocybernetics, and the End of the Anthropocene (U Minnesota Press, 2020) is a pioneering exploration of the dynamic and complex evolution of Gaia's many variants, with special attention to Margulis's foundational role in these developments. Bruce Clarke assesses the different dialects of systems theory brought to bear on Gaia discourse. Focusing in particular on Margulis's work--including multiple pieces of her unpublished Gaia correspondence--he shows how her research and that of Lovelock was concurrent and conceptually parallel with the new discourse of self-referential systems that emerged within neocybernetic systems theory. The recent Gaia writings of Donna Haraway, Isabelle Stengers, and Bruno Latour contest its cybernetic status. Clarke engages Latour on the issue of Gaia's systems description and extends his own systems-theoretical synthesis under what he terms "metabiotic Gaia." This study illuminates current issues in neighboring theoretical conversations--from biopolitics and the immunitary paradigm to NASA astrobiology and the Anthropocene. Along the way, he points to science fiction as a vehicle of Gaian thought. Delving into many issues not previously treated in accounts of Gaia, Gaian Systems describes the history of a theory that has the potential to help us survive an environmental crisis of our own making.
