Is Life Fundamentally Quantum? Rethinking Biology at the Smallest Scale | Dr Clarice Aiello Ep. 32
In VivoShow Notes
Dr. Aiello is a quantum engineer and researcher working at the intersection of quantum physics, quantum engineering, and quantum biology, to explore a provocative idea: that there may be a basal, underlying quantum layer to life itself. Many people encounter quantum mechanics for the first time and come away thinking it’s mysterious, abstract, or even “magic.” But as Dr. Aiello explains, quantum mechanics is not only real—it is practical, engineerable, and already shaping modern technology. From quantum computers to quantum sensors, quantum engineers are building instruments that can control and manipulate quantum systems with extraordinary precision.Dr. Clarice Aiello on X - https://x.com/ClariceDAielloThe Quantum Biology Institute on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/quantum-biology-institute/The Quantum Biology Institute - https://www.quantumbiology.org/The QBI on X - https://x.com/QuantumBioOrgThe Quantum Biology DAO on X - https://x.com/QuantumBioDAOIn Vivo on X - https://x.com/InVivoPodOnXIn Vivo on Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@InVivoPodcastIn Vivo on Apple Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/in-vivo/id1775578563In Vivo on Amazon Podcasts - https://music.amazon.ca/podcasts/1ac4dbec-df46-4d1f-b0a1-742e9656ef44/in-vivo

Philosopher and historian of science Dr. Justin Garson joins me to unpack The Madness Pill: One Doctor’s Quest to Understand Schizophrenia, the mid-century hunt for a pill that could temporarily induce schizophrenia so scientists could reverse-engineer a cure.
Dr. Jason Kelly, co-founder and CEO of Ginkgo Bioworks, joins me to unpack autonomous labs, what they are, why biology’s bench tooling barely moved in 20 years, and why the right analogy isn’t a subway or a car, but a Waymo. Is the biology singularity around the corner?
Cathy Tie (founder, Origin Genomics) and Prof. Jiang Xueqin (Predictive History) join me for a wide-open conversation on germline gene editing, the science, the ethics, and the geopolitics.
Jason Verbelli, founder of Galilean Variance and CEO/Lead Engineer at SEG Magnetics, argues that Einstein left a written test for his own theory: if the speed of light depends even a little on the motion of the source, relativity and Einstein’s theory of gravitation are false. In this interview we start from first principles and work up through John Searl, magnetic waveforms, free energy vs over-unity, the double-slit experiments, the Casimir effect, and what that would mean for energy, technology, and space travel.
In this episode of In Vivo, I sit down with Dr. Rasmus Rosenberg Larsen, Assistant Professor of Forensic Epistemology at the University of Toronto and author of Psychopathy Unmasked: The Rise and Fall of a Dangerous Diagnosis (MIT Press).
