As discussed on this podcast for some time now, carbon 60, commonly known as C60, is part of The Mitochondrial Triad for its many mitochondrial-boosting properties; namely, its ability to mitigate oxidative stress. Today's guest, Chris Burres, is all too familiar with C60, as he is the co-founder of SES Research, which has been producing C60 for industrial purposes since the early '90s. Through some rather serendipitous events, including a 2012 study where SES Research supplied the C60 that ended up extending the lifespan of rats by 90%(!!), Chris and his company found themselves flung into the crazy biohacking and longevity communities that were yearning to have C60 for human consumption.In our conversation today, Chris details the mechanisms of how C60 works to improve mitochondrial function (most notably, the B.O.S.S. Theory) and why it could be a key molecule to help humans extend lifespan beyond our current expectations. He also outlines the unfortunate state of the C60 supplement space and how most supplements have a much lower concentration than they claim and that some even have ZERO C60 in their product at all! This is why he has trademarked the term ESS60, which delineates an ultra high purity C60 that is specifically made for human consumption; meaning, if you are purchasing a C60 supplement, then "ESS60" must be in the ingredients list. Otherwise, you can assume it is a subpar product.Chris covers other interesting topics, such as how C60 is produced, his perspective on longevity and how long he believes he can live and whether or not immortality is possible, testimonials around ESS60, the upper limit for ESS60 consumption and much more!

Sir Harold Kroto is an English chemist and the 1996 Nobel Prize recipient in Chemistry. He currently serves as Francis Eppes Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Florida State University. He researches the high-resolution electronic spectra of free radicals produced by flash photolysis (the breaking of chemical bonds by light), as well as carbon dioxide and the molecules that contain chains of carbon atoms with numerous multiple bonds. Kroto's Nobel Prize was based on his co-discovery of buckminsterfullerene, a form of pure carbon better known as "buckyballs." He is presently researching nanoscience and nanotechnology.

EDITORIAL Durante septiembre, el Cinvestav tuvo el orgullo de recibir a importantes delegaciones y personalidades del extranjero, de países en donde el Centro goza de un amplio prestigio; esto lo convierte en un socio estratégico para colaboraciones científicas. De esa forma, la visita del rector de la Universidad de Bretaña Occidental de Francia, se suma a las que en ese mismo mes realizaron distintas personalidades del ámbito académico y científico de Bélgica, con quien el Cinvestav fortalecerá actividades de investigación Fue motivo de orgullo para el Centro, recibir nuevamente la visita del Premio Nobel de Química 1996, Dr. Harold Kroto, hecho que sin duda es un gran aliciente para nuestros estudiantes. Dr. Rene Asomoza Palacio Director General del Cinvestav CINVESTAV RECIBIÓ LA VISITA DEL RECTOR DE LA UNIVERSIDAD DE BRETAÑA OCCIDENTAL Para afianzar e incrementar la colaboración con el Cinvestav, principalmente en el área de investigación marina, el rector de la Universidad de Bretaña Occidental de Francia, Dr. Pascal Olivard, se reunió el pasado 25 de septiembre con el Director General del Cinvestav, Dr. René Asomoza Palacio. Durante su visita, el Dr. Pascal Olivard resaltó la cooperación que mantienen ambas instituciones, así como la calidad de los proyectos de investigación que se realizan en el Cinvestav. El rector de la Universidad de Bretaña Occidental, hizo énfasis en que México se ha convertido en un país líder a nivel regional en gestión de ambiente marino y desarrollo sustentable. Acompañado por Joël Le Bail, Agregado de Cooperación Universitaria, Científica y Técnica de la Embajada de Francia en México, y el Dr. Arnulfo Albores, Secretario Académico del Cinvestav, además de algunos investigadores de este Centro, el Dr. Pascal Olivard resaltó que el Cinvestav es la mejor opción para la cooperación científica, por lo que se ha convertido en un socio fundamental para las instituciones de investigación y universidades francesas. El Dr. Pascal Olivard se mostró interesado en concretar una colaboración con el Cinvestav encaminada a la creación de un observatorio del mar y de litorales. En su oportunidad, el Director General del Cinvestav, Dr. René Asomoza Palacio destacó que parte del reconocimiento del que goza este Centro, es producto de su vasta colaboración internacional. Luego de la presentación del Cinvestav a cargo del Dr. Arnulfo Albores, la Dra. Dalila Aldana Aranda, del Departamento de Recursos del Mar de la Unidad Mérida, hizo énfasis en la reciente creación de una Estación Marina en las costas de Yucatán, donde dijo, se han fortalecido algunas investigaciones como las de acuacultura experimental, lugar donde además se prevé brindar capacitación a los pescadores del lugar ************* PREMIO NOBEL DE QUIMICA DICTÓ CONFERENCIA EN EL CINVESTAV Luego de dos años de ausencia, el Premio Nobel de Química 1996, Dr. Harold Kroto, regresó al Cinvestav el pasado 24 de septiembre, para dictar su conferencia “Ciencia y Sociedad en el Siglo XXI”, donde destacó la importancia de la nanotecnología y sus nuevas aplicaciones. Acompañado por el Director General del Cinvestav, Dr. René Asomoza Palacio y diversas personalidades, Sir Harold Kroto expuso que basada en inéditas combinaciones atómicas, la nanotecnología tendrá en este siglo aplicaciones sorprendentes como la fabricación de materiales ultra resistentes y de bajo peso. Ante decenas de estudiantes que asistieron al auditorio Arturo Rosenblueth, el Premio Nobel de Química 1996, indicó que la nanociencia busca estudiar y controlar la materia a escala nanométrica, para trabajar y manipular las estructuras moleculares y sus átomos. Para ello utiliza herramientas de la física, la química, la biología y la ciencia de materiales. Sin embargo, a la par de la generación del conocimiento, el Dr. Harold Kroto hizo énfasis en la importancia de la educación y que ésta debe estar al alcance de toda la población, para ello, dijo, hay herramientas muy importantes como la Internet, la que consideró como la segunda revolución dentro de la educación, porque pone el conocimiento al alcance de todos. Recordó que hace unos años, creó el Fondo Vega para la Ciencia, un proyecto conjunto con Patrick Reams, productor de la BBC de Londres, a partir del cual realizan videos de ciencia para transmitirlos en diversas partes del mundo. Por su parte, el Director General del Cinvestav, Dr. René Asomoza Palacio, se mostró muy satisfecho por la visita del Dr. Harold Kroto y destacó la labor del científico inglés, no sólo en el campo de la investigación, sino de la divulgación de la ciencia.

Sir Harold Kroto, winner of the 1996 Nobel Prize for Chemistry, is in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at The Florida State University. He is a tireless science educator who gives lectures, presentations and workshops to groups of all ages with the aim of communicating his passion for science. He's a fellow of the Royal Society, and was awarded its 2002 Michael Faraday Award for public appreciation of science. In this discussion with D.J. Grothe, Sir Harold Kroto relates what budded his initial interests in science, including the influence of his childhood Meccano sets, and emphasizes the importance of hands-on exploration and science learning. He recounts the discovery of the Buckminster Fullerene, for which he won the Nobel Prize, and the frustration he has with people outside the sciences who view science as only worthwhile if it is "useful." He discusses his views on religion, and how his background in science has fueled his freethinking and religious skepticism. He explores the question of whether or not science education efforts are succeeding, and details his "buckyball" workshops for children. He also explores whether or not he advances the "religion of secular humanism" when he teaches science deliberately excluding any mention of God or religion.
