Bret Weinstein on "The Portal" (w/ host Eric Weinstein), Ep. #019 - The Prediction and the DISC.

Bret Weinstein discusses how breeding protocols altered lab mice telomeres, impacting research on aging and cancer.

All of our Mice are Broken. On this episode of The Portal, Bret and Eric sit down alone with each other for the first time in public. There was no plan. There was however, a remarkable story of science at its both best and worst that had not been told in years. After an initial tussle, we dusted off the cobwebs and decided to reconstruct it raw and share it with you, our Portal audience, for the first time. I don't think it will be the last as we are now again looking for our old notes to tighten it up for the next telling. We hope you find it interesting, and that it inspires you younger and less established scientists to tell your stories using this new medium of long form podcasting. We hope the next place you hear this story will be in a biology department seminar room in perhaps Cambridge, Chicago, Princeton, the Bay Area or elsewhere. Until then, be well and have a listen to this initial and raw version. [The DISC referred to in the Title is the Distributed Idea Suppression Complex as discussed on episode #018 of The Portal Podcast.] Original Audio Only Sponsors: Quip: Getquip.com/portal Wine Access: Wineaccess.com/portal Indeed: Indeed.com/portal Blinkist: Blinkist.com/portal
