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.

Leverage Weekly #73: Getting honest signals
"There are many reasons to stick to honest descriptions... If you tailor your response to someone too much, their response only tells you what they think about what you think they wanted to hear."

Leverage Monthly from May/June:
"The next bottleneck Leverage will try to break is in the field of nucleonics. Nucleonics is... the study of how quantum effects... show up and can be harnessed in the context of material science."

Leverage Weekly #72: Keeping track of history
"Organizations... are machines made from people. Alternatively, they may be thought of as pieces of software that connect people to the deeper software of society and civilization as a whole."

Leverage Weekly #71: Reporting to superiors
"Even designers and executives have bosses, however. In some cases, these bosses or superiors are part of the organization. In other cases, they exist outside of it."

Leverage Weekly #70: The art of planning
"Rather, the most challenging part is that planning requires one to focus on terrible things that might go wrong until one finds a way to make sure those things won’t happen."

Leverage Weekly #69: Sorting tasks
"[I]f a task is yours and urgent, do it. If it is yours and not urgent, plan for it. If it is not yours and urgent, make sure someone else does it. If it is not yours and not urgent, let it float away into the mist."

Leverage Weekly #68: Gauging autonomy
"The biggest challenge of building a company where people have suitable roles and operate with less than ordinary oversight involves gauging the person’s capacity for autonomy."

Leverage Monthly from April:
"The team also planned material for presentations to QBI and speculated about long-term trends in science... New Orleans was a lot of fun with amazing food. One highlight was a spooky ghost tour..."

Leverage Weekly #67: Managing contractors
"Contractors are thus very different from employees. Employees are part of an organization’s culture. Contractors have their own organization and, thus, their own culture."

Leverage Weekly #66: Company values
"Yet company values are actually a powerful tool that can be deployed to great effect within an organization, if one understands what they are, how they should be selected, and how they can be used."

Leverage Weekly #65: Learning to negotiate
"If the biggest task in negotiation is understanding the nature of the opposing party, the largest challenge in learning negotiation is finding sufficiently easy circumstances to practice in."

Leverage Weekly #64: Efficiency in action
"Rather than moving quickly because its parts move quickly, an organization can do things efficiently because its parts are set up right, its parts move at the right speed, and everyone is adequately prepared."

Leverage Weekly #63: Managing competition
"The question, then, is... how to channel the energy of competition, which comes in from society, in a way that helps organizations and individuals achieve their goals."
