Real people in real labs doing real science This is quantum biology in action @quantumbioorg.bsky.social

Who’s in LA next week? 👋 Next Thursday (Dec 4), Dr. Alessandro Lodesani will be speaking at AI Cafe in Venice about how tiny magnetic fields can have biological effects and why the mechanism might be quantum. Come join us, SoCal friends! Details below: luma.com/AICafeDec4?u...

Did you know quantum physics has been around for more than a century, yet we’re only recently exploring what it might reveal about living cells? If quantum phenomena play a role in biological processes, it could reshape the future of health, medicine, and more. We think it’s worth paying attention.

Let’s explore 4 real examples of quantum biology you might not know about, areas where quantum effects may be at work in nature. Thread below 👇

Here’s a look at some of the scientific work underway at the @quantumbioorg.bsky.social 🧪 Dr. Mike Montague shares an update on his work at the Maryland lab. Quantum biology is moving forward.

“Science and everyday life cannot and should not be separated.” - Rosalind Franklin To start your Sunday. ☀️

Vaccines, antibiotics, improved nutrition, and more have delivered massive gains across medicine and public health. But that doesn’t mean we’ve found all the big levers. Some we’re only beginning to explore…

Always

Quantum biology is opening a new chapter in how we understand life. The real revolution will come from those committed to following the science over the long term. If you’re curious about where this frontier is headed, now’s the moment to lean in. ⚛️

Interested in helping guide how scientific research gets funded? The Quantum Biology DAO invites you to take part in shaping transparent, community-driven funding for emerging science.

1/ Weak magnetic field effects have been reported across biology for decades, but the mechanisms are still debated. One possibility is that certain cellular reactions respond to magnetic fields through quantum-level spin dynamics.

Friendly reminder :)

📢 Join us for the @quantumbiodao.bsky.social community call this Thursday, Nov 20th at 9AM PT | 12PM ET. We’ll share updates and open up a discussion on how the ecosystem is evolving. Everyone’s welcome to join! Details: quantumbiology.community

Science keeps growing by widening the frame. Quantum biology is simply the next place to look, another way of noticing what nature has been offering all along. The possibilities open up when we let them.

🌀 Throwback Thursday, anyone? Say hello to some of the leaders of the quantum biology ecosystem!

For over 50 years, research has shown that weak magnetic fields influence physiology across organisms and cell types, with effects consistent with electron spin–dependent chemical reactions. Let's start paying attention to quantum biology. **25 page compilation of effects: bit.ly/MFEbiology

Have you ever considered that your health could be quantum? Studies have shown that weak magnetic fields can alter biological activity across a wide range of organisms and cell types. It’s hypothesized that these effects arise from quantum phenomena — like electron spin interactions inside cells.

The first quantum biology hackathon wrapped last week! Listen as @claricedaiello.bsky.social shares more about the experience. 🌟

1/ The first Quantum Biology Hackathon wrapped last weekend and it was amazing! 29 contributors came together from across disciplines to develop 6 different projects exploring how quantum effects might influence living systems. Long live quantum bio! 🧬

Maybe it’s time to rethink how we fund science.

🧬 This Week at the @quantumbiodao.bsky.social : Thread below!

🧬 This week’s protein spotlight: Photolyase. This light-powered enzyme repairs DNA damage caused by sunlight. It uses blue light to flip broken DNA bonds back into place and it may even respond to Earth’s magnetic field. Could quantum physics be part of how it works?👇

A number of folks from across the Quantum Biology ecosystem—DAO, Institute, and collaborators—are all in LA this week. Outside of work: lunch, an escape room, and some time to catch up in person.

What are you reading? We'll go first.

1/ What if we could build a scientific field from the ground up and make openness the default? That is what is happening in quantum biology. It is a growing field exploring how quantum effects like electron spin and entanglement shape living systems.

Join us Thursday at 9AM PT / 12PM ET for the Quantum Biology DAO Community Call. We’ll share what’s new across the ecosystem, what’s next, and how you can contribute. If you’re curious about quantum biology or want to help build the future of science funding, we’ll see you there.

🚀 The Quantum Biology Hackathon has begun! For the next few days, researchers, engineers, technologists, & more are exploring how quantum physics might intersect biology. Co-hosted by @quantumbioorg.bsky.social & Haus der Kulturen der Welt, with @claricedaiello.bsky.social helping lead in Berlin.

It’s time to start paying attention to quantum biology.

1/ This is what it looks like to search for quantum phenomena in biology. At the @quantumbioorg.bsky.social, researchers are exploring how magnetic fields affect proteins and building custom instruments to find out.

Shoutout to Dr. Ale Lodesani for the fresh water filtration system install at the @quantumbioorg.bsky.social lab!

If you’re curious, there’s space for you here - just like there is for scientists, engineers, artists, or anyone who wants to help shape what comes next.

Join the mission! The DAO is hosting our weekly community call - and you're invited. 🗓️ Thursday, Oct 30th 🕙 9AM PT / 12PM ET 📍 quantumbiology.community Come connect with scientists, builders, and curious minds shaping the future of biology.

🧬 As we enter Q4, here’s a look at how the Quantum Biology DAO has been taking shape and what’s ahead! (Thread below) ⬇️

What if we reimagined how science gets funded to support the kind of research the future needs? DeSci offers a new space to try different approaches to funding, evaluation, and governance. At the Quantum Biology DAO, we’re doing just this. 👇

Science doesn't stand still. Our understanding of the world has shifted with every new tool, every unexpected result, every question we didn’t know how to ask until someone tried. There’s still so much to explore. So much we don’t yet see. Let’s keep discovering — together.

@quantumbioorg.bsky.social has developed a new graphical user interface (GUI), built with support from AI, to streamline operations for the bacterioscope— their platform for screening magnetosensitivity in bacterial plates. 🎥 Video explainer coming soon!

🧬 Have you ever heard of quantum biology? Whether you’re deep in the science or just curious, join us for two exciting events this week: 👉 All details in Discord: quantumbiology.community

1/ What fields do you think should be talking to each other more? Quantum biology brings together different ways of thinking... not just different topics, but different ways of asking questions, building models, and interpreting results.

This is quantum biology in action! 🧬

Let's do it together. ➡️ quantumbiology.community

Happy birthday to Brian, one of the brilliant scientists at @quantumbioorg.bsky.social advancing the frontier of quantum biology. We’re lucky to have you in the ecosystem! Here’s to another year of pushing science forward. 🎉

If there were unlimited funding, what kind of science would you want explored?

Hope you all had a great week of science! Let's see how some of the folks in the Quantum Biology Ecosystem are doing. @quantumbiodao.bsky.social @quantumbioorg.bsky.social

Milestone alert! 🧬 The Quantum Biology DAO has granted over $1 million to the @quantumbioorg.bsky.social. This is decentralized science in action - real funding for real science. Let's keep it up!

When you find out quantum biology is a real thing. 🤯

Imagine if owning a token meant shaping the next wave of science and medicine… 🤔
