Laura Deming & Hunter Davis: A Tractable Approach to Reversible Cryopreservation

[@Bboy235]

I just love this channel thanks for showing us these incredible people working on solving hard problems

[@metamind095]

I just came across an article about a breakthrough in brain cryopreservation, regaining functionality after rewarming. Thanks to both of you for working on one of if not the most beneficial factor when it comes to human quality of life enhancement that is....biotechnology. Thank you S3 for the great interview.

Sci-fi world! Shape rotators! Thanks for bringing us this glimpse into the current state of edge science, universe rewards novelty!

[@mrjvc]

Fascinating and inspiring to see nerds nerd-out about this. Thanks!

Did she say when she was 12 she moved back to the US to work at a longevity lab!!! What were you doing at 12?

[@NatanLawson]

From Wikipedia: "At age 8, Deming became interested in the biology of aging, and at age 12 she joined the lab of Cynthia Kenyon at the University of California, San Francisco. Kenyon successfully increased the lifespan of the worm C. elegans by a factor of ten through genetic engineering. Deming was accepted to MIT at age 14 and studied physics, but later dropped out to accept the $100,000 Thiel Fellowship and start a venture capital firm."

[@spadeespada9432]

Yeah, I thought I heard it wrong too.

😮​@@NatanLawson

[@bostaurus1]

Umm she volunteered in a longevity lab actually. I'd check if that was the reason she moved to the US.

[@yougeo]

So they are basically trying the chemical infusion approach is what I'm gathering even though they're extremely vague about what they're doing?

[@albionicamerican8806]

What's the difference between Karolina Protsenko & Laura Deming as teenage prodigies? Karolina can really play the violin well, while Laura wasn't really venture-capitalizing any companies.

This could be cool for biobased computing.

Can we cryosleep animal stocks like cow and fish while in space to Mars and generate it

Agent 47 is disguised as a cradle CSO.

Where does the brain tissue come from?

[@albionicamerican8806]

An ex-girlfriend of mine named Lisa is cryopreserved at Alcor in Scottsdale, AZ. If she's revivable in a technologically competent Future World, I hope she's not taken advantage of by, say, being "battle-angeled."

[@yougeo]

That's the wildest ex girlfriends end story I have ever heard and likely exists.

[@albionicamerican8806]

Deming is just another Silicon Valley adventuress on the make, like Elizabeth Holmes or Nicole Shanahan. She probably has "Marry a Silicon Valley billionaire, then cash out in a divorce," on her to-do list.

[@dawsongooch4194]

Bro have you even glanced at her wikipedia page. She's been doing impressive stuff since she was literally 12. Like, at least back up your mean comment with some evidence.

[@albionicamerican8806]

​@@dawsongooch4194What practical difference in the real world has her "career" made? People are still aging & dying.

[@ZL0WBEE]

I didn’t have a personality disorder at 12 do I get a prize ?

[@albionicamerican8806]

I have over 30 years' experience in the cryonics community, if you could call it that, and I'm wondering if Laura is going to follow the pattern of other childless female cryonicists I've known by freezing her cats when these animals die. Yeah, this sounds like I'm making it up, but these cryonicist spinsters post on their social media accounts about how they've cryopreserved their dead cats.

[@Bboy235]

And your point is

[@albionicamerican8806]

​@@Bboy235Cryonics attracts relatively few women, but the ones who sign up for cryopreservation on their own initiative tend to be dysfunctional.

[@Bboy235]

@@albionicamerican8806 and your conclusion is they sign up for it to freeze their cats you sound loopy dude

[@somenygaard]

Outspoken Atheist Penn Jillette once said; “I’ve always said that I don’t respect people who don’t proselytize. I don’t respect that at all. If you believe that there’s a heaven and a hell, and people could be going to hell or not getting eternal life, and you think that it’s not really worth telling them this because it would make it socially awkward-and atheists who think people shouldn’t proselytize and who say just leave me along and keep your religion to yourself-how much do you have to hate somebody to not proselytize? How much do you have to hate somebody to believe everlasting life is possible and not tell them that? “I mean, if I believed, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that a truck was coming at you, and you didn’t believe that truck was bearing down on you, there is a certain point where I tackle you. And this is more important than that.” You can’t freeze your way past Judgement. Www Bible ca

[@darthmoomoo]

His position is very rational. I am not sure how you went from that to "You can’t freeze your way past Judgement". Of course you can. There is no "Judgement". If you were Hindu, you would say "You can'y freeze your way past Karma/reincarnation". Bronze age myths are that ... myths.
