00:00 What is quantum biology?
02:16 How revolutionary is it for the life sciences?
02:56 What is quantum/proto tunnelling in DNA?
04:59 How do quantum mechanics principles apply in quantum biology?
06:24 Does quantum biology better explain consciousness?
09:27 What is Occam's razor principle?
13:12 Why is simplicity a good guide?

Quantum mechanics has long influenced and unalterably changed the world of physics. Yet, biology has taken some time to catch-up. How might our exploration of the quantum influence our understanding of life, consciousness and the natural world?


Johnjoe McFadden is a scientist, professor and writer at the University of Surrey. He has written many popular science books including Life on the Edge: The Coming of Age of Quantum Biology and Quantum Evolution.
