What if quantum physics isn’t just some strange phenomenon locked away in the subatomic world—what if it’s shaping our reality? What if the very technology we use today relies on quantum effects... and those same effects are happening inside your body?
In this milestone 50th episode, we sit down with Professor Warwick Bowen, one of the world’s leading researchers in quantum physics and precision sensing. Based at the University of Queensland, Professor Bowen leads groundbreaking work that sits at the intersection of quantum mechanics, biology, and emerging technologies. His research is redefining how we understand life, consciousness, and the future of biotechnology.
We explore big questions like:
– Is quantum biology the missing piece in our understanding of life?
– Can quantum mechanics explain processes in the human brain?
– How is quantum sensing being used in medicine and biotech right now?
– What breakthroughs are just around the corner—and how might they change our world?
Whether you’re a science nerd or just curious about the future of health, tech, and consciousness, this is one episode you don’t want to miss.
Join us now and step into the world where biology meets the quantum realm.

Facing Extinction: The Surprising Future of the Y Chromosome with Jenny Graves - Episode #47
Join us for a groundbreaking discussion with the renowned geneticist, Professor Jenny Graves, on this episode of Episode #47. Professor Graves has made monumental contributions to our understanding of mammalian genome organization and evolution, using the unique wildlife of Australia as a natural genetic library. Her pioneering research on the chromosomes and genes of kangaroos, platypuses, Tasmanian devils, and various lizards has illuminated the structure, function, and evolution of mammalian genomes, providing insights that have reshaped our understanding of human sex chromosomes and the mechanisms of sex determination.
Jenny Graves is particularly famous—or perhaps infamous—for her prediction that the human Y chromosome is on a path to extinction. This episode dives deep into her groundbreaking discoveries, including how mammalian X chromosomes are epigenetically silenced through transcriptional inhibition mediated by DNA methylation. Her latest collaborative research at the University of Canberra focuses on epigenetics and sex determination, employing reptilian models to study how environmental factors like temperature can trigger sex reversal.
Dr Graves prolific career includes over 430 scientific publications and numerous accolades, such as being a 2006 L'Oreal-UNESCO Laureate and receiving the MacFarlane Burnet Medal.
Tune in to uncover the secrets of genomes and the future of the Y chromosome with one of the most distinguished scientists in the field.
