Inspiration for this podcast:
"Muad'Dib learned rapidly because his first training was in how to learn. And the first lesson of all was the basic trust that he could learn. It's shocking to find how many people do not believe they can learn, and how many more believe learning to be difficult. Muad'Dib knew that every experience carries its lesson."
― Frank Herbert, Dune

Head Activator: Hydra's Regeneration Tool Rebooted for the Human Brain
We trace the head activator signal from hydra’s regenerative biology to its life-preserving role in the human brain. Learn how HA binds to the GPR37 receptor, sparks calcium signaling, and activates cell-survival pathways, offering a new angle on neuron protection and Parkinson’s disease. See how evolution repurposed an ancient growth signal into a brain-maintenance system.
