This week’s conversation is one of our most mind-bending yet. Karl Schmieder, MS MFA and Erum Azeez Khan sit down with Dr. Michael Levin, Vannevar Bush Distinguished Professor of Biology at Tufts University, whose work is reshaping how we think about life, intelligence, and the very foundations of synthetic biology. Michael invites us to rethink cells not as passive building blocks, but as agential matter—systems with goals, memory, and problem-solving abilities. From bioelectric patterning to Xenobots and next-generation regenerative biology, he shows what becomes possible when we stop “engineering” life and start collaborating with it. If you care about the future of biotech, regenerative medicine, or the emerging science of collective intelligence in living systems, this episode is a must-listen. 🎧 Now streaming on: Spotify: https://lnkd.in/ePKazSEd Apple: https://lnkd.in/ejpKiy_R YouTube: https://lnkd.in/eN9Nnvcz Like and subscribe on our substack as well: https://lnkd.in/ebbFUjFR 👉 Don’t miss this one.
