July 28th saw us run the third Journal Club, where we discussed a recent research publication. Journal Club is a monthly event livestreamed to our Facebook page and runs thanks to the support of our patrons – The Lifespan Heroes.
Unfortunately, we had some technical issues with this stream and could not broadcast it live as we usually do, so we recorded the show offline. In this episode we discuss the following paper:
Fulcher, L. J., Hutchinson, L. D., Macartney, T. J., Turnbull, C., & Sapkota, G. P. (2017). Targeting endogenous proteins for degradation through the affinity-directed protein missile system. Open Biology, 7(5), 170066.
We will be announcing the August Journal Club subject and date/time shortly. Thanks once again to the Lifespan Heroes for helping to make this possible.
Steve serves on the LEAF Board of Directors and is the Editor in Chief, coordinating the daily news articles and social media content of the organization. He is an active journalist in the aging research and biotechnology field and has to date written over 600 articles on the topic, interviewed over 100 of the leading researchers in the field, hosted livestream events focused on aging, as well as attending various medical industry conferences.
His work has been featured in H+ magazine, Psychology Today, Singularity Weblog, Standpoint Magazine, Swiss Monthly, Keep me Prime, and New Economy Magazine.
Steve is one of three recipients of the 2020 H+ Innovator Award and shares this honour with Mirko Ranieri – Google AR and Dinorah Delfin – Immortalists Magazine. The H+ Innovator Award looks into our community and acknowledges ideas and projects that encourage social change, achieve scientific accomplishments, technological advances, philosophical and intellectual visions, author unique narratives, build fascinating artistic ventures, and develop products that bridge gaps and help us to achieve transhumanist goals.
Steve has a background in project management and administration which has helped him to build a united team for effective fundraising and content creation, while his additional knowledge of biology and statistical data analysis allows him to carefully assess and coordinate the scientific groups involved in the project.
Or do these videos take much more time and resources than I think? I did once have to make a video for a undergrad group project, which took a lot of time, but a lot of that was on the research itself and the setup.
Spherical Nucleic Acids with the gold nanoparticle in the middle removed and replaced with an enzyme have been successfully used to deliver a whole enzyme to cells.

These videos are interesting to a biology window licker such as myself, but I don’t know if they will ever reach a wider audience.
Any chance of producing a Youreka science style drawn video about AdPROM? e.g.

Jim, Journal Club is a technical and scientific club and its aimed at the biology window lickers as you so put it :)
We are hoping to produce other video content in due course but Journal Club is absolutely for the hardcore.
