Can quantum effects explain how living organisms respond to weak magnetic fields?
The radical pair mechanism is a leading hypothesis for how migratory birds sense Earth's magnetic field. But how can we investigate these quantum processes inside living systems?
On October 14th at 8am ET / 5am PT, Dr. Jonathan Woodward of the University of Tokyo will join us for a live presentation exploring how radical pair reactions can be investigated in biological systems, followed by a community Q&A.
Dr. Woodward's research focuses on spin chemistry and magnetic field effects on chemical reactions, using advanced spectroscopy to investigate radical pair processes in biological systems.
His talk will explore new microscopy methods for observing these reactions in real time, including findings that provide evidence of the radical pair mechanism operating in living cells and substantial magnetic field responses in unmodified bacteria.

The @QuantumBioDAO is going to be a clear example of real science getting done that was made possible by DeSci.
We also investigated essentially all other funding routes at the same time, so it's also a good instance of counterfactual impact.

The first new BioDAO Auction on the BIO Launchpad, Quantum Biology DAO, launches THIS Thursday, Dec 5! ⚛️
The science
@QuantumBioDAO builds quantum microscopes that uncover the effects of weak magnetic fields in biology. The microscopes could lead to new medical treatments and innovations in drug discovery.

Our monthly introspection event is Sep 16th at 5-6:30pm ET.
Geoff will present on Leverage’s alternative approach to cognitive science: an introspection-first approach as compared to the more common computation-inspired approaches.
Q&A after the talk, DM for the link!

Our monthly introspection event is June 24th at 5-6:30pm ET
We’ll show how introspection on goals can help reduce conflict and make negotiation easier. We’ll also talk about how the Leverage perspective on human goals can help people seek positive sum solutions.

Leverage's Bottlenecks program helps scientific fields like quantum biology get unstuck.
Our work in QB is now at the point where we've budgeted $10k for help assessing potential dangers from advancing the field.

Let’s dive into the phases of #TheTadpoleExperiment:
🔬🐸 In Phase 1 (May), we monitor tadpole growth under a magnetic field of 9 nT (nanotesla)—the most extreme condition our chamber can handle. Why? To push the boundaries of what we know about biological responses in very weak magnetic environments.
Stay tuned!

Yay!
TheTadpoleExperiment.org is live, delving into the intriguing effects of magnetic fields on life.
Over the next 3 mo, we will test the effects of varying magnetic fields on the biological development of tadpoles and zebrafish.
