What is Lyfe? Towards a Biology of Context & Complexity

Brandon Ogbunu, Yale, SFI Breakthroughs during the age of genomics have sent shockwaves throughout the biological and biomedical universes. More than any single discovery, the age has been defined by great enthusiasm, funding in abundance, and generations of scientists that operate under the doctrine that - with new technology - we might solve the mysteries of disease, the origin of species, and the origins of life - sequence by sequence, letter by letter. But just as biology is simultaneously more capable than ever before, it is rife with widespread misunderstanding and confusion. SFI External Professor Brandon Ogbunu (Yale) offers a new framing of biology, described as “Lyfe,” embodying a multidimensional appreciation of biological systems that includes the power of history, context, environment, nonlinearity, and narrative.

What an epic talk!!! Thank you Dr. Ogbunu for sharing your amazing insight and having the strength and courage to put yourself out there.

Dynamite! Actually engages and queries some deep, and other deep and unquestioned, assumptions. Eloquent, passionate, and very, very provocative of thought. What more can I ask? Admiration, respect, and thanks!

Dynamite! Brandon, you'd have made one helluva Preacher Man! Engages with, and questions, some key assumptions, spoken and unspoken, which often just slide by unquestioned. The epistemic equivalent of removing an unnoticed blindfold. Gets thought going! Wild applause, Respect, Kudos, and Thanks!
