Dr. Jonathan Trent - on Extremophile Lifeforms and Other Future News

Our Guest is Dr. Jonathan Trent - on Extremophile Lifeforms, his deep NASA research, and the magic of Bioreactors and Fuel Cells in solving Earth Issues. Other news includes Cheap Fakes & Politics, Bobby & Kamila, Beyond Opioids, MRI study of Psilocybin
Interestingly Dr. Trent had his start in oceanography and the study of small water-based lifeforms at UCSC back in the 1970’s as an undergraduate. Later at Scripps Institution of Oceanography and a post doc in Germany at the Max Planck Institute for Biochemistry he became one of the world’s experts in how biology was able to adapt to the most extreme conditions on Earth imaginable. He was brought back home to NASA Ames, where he, as an astrobiologist delved deeply into how such life might exist elsewhere in the solar system. NASA did an extensive interview of his career, posted here.
Now, semi-retired in the Santa Cruz area, he brings home his knowledge of extreme forms of life in creating solutions to some of our biggest issues of today, namely the escalating food, water, and energy crisis. His latest project is called “UpCycle Systems,” and its goal is to create a cohesive green life support system for our growing need of Data Centers, places that are needed for cloud computing, AI, Crypto, memory storage, etc.
In Dr. Trent’s vision, data centers will not simply use massive amounts of water and power, they will generate such resources by turning our organic waste into clean power and water, with excess energy to share. This works through the combination of several innovative technologies, including bioreactors and fuel cells. I think you’ll enjoy hearing Dr. Trent’s story, we sure did! Enjoy..
UpCycle Data Centers that will contribute clean water and energy to the community instead of taking it.
Now that US national politics is heating up, so are the cheap fakes being made of the candidates, making them heroic, silly, smart, stupid, you name it. Just for cheap fakes and poltitics and off you go. We discuss this a bit and look at what can be done. And since are politics up, Bobby reveals to us his encounters with Kamila Harris, when she was Attorney General in Californa.
Opiods have been a serious issue for some time and there is some relief in the form of alternative pain drugs soon to hit the market. And in a study of psilocybin, the active ingredient in magic mushrooms, researchers have disovered more detail and how they may work, with the help of MRI imaging of the subject’s brains as they are tripping. Enjoy!

Space X Grounded, 2K mile batteries, Fast Cheap Home Solar Tech Report, Miss AI Crowned, Personal Dark Webb Report, Internet Scam Download with Luigi Obido
This is the weeked following former president Trump’s assassination attempt, so we start with a few comments on that scene. It was also sad that Space X lost a full payload of Starlink satellites. On a lighter front, we look at how in the ever loving world we could have, and who won an AI beauty contest. Bobby and Taylor check in with a report on their brand X (Solix F3800) Tesla type Powerwall project (for a third the price), Bobby shares his excitement about a new 2K mile car battery.
The second hour was dedicated to what our local computer repair genius, Luigi Oppido, has discovered about Internet Scams and what you can do about them if you have been engaged by them. Much to look out for, such as gift card scams, the fine art of social engineering, and the crazy scam world of ‘pig butchering.’ Watch out, and..enjoy the show!

Freedom after year in Mars Habitat Sim, Geek becoming Saint, Sovereign in Court, Katrina Q Story
This is our first broadcast from the new Santa Cruz Voice studio in downtown Santa Cruz! We discuss the martian habitat sim and its recently released inhabitants at NASA, Carlo Acutis (The Internet Saint), and a discussion of a current court case involving our friend Monica McGuire and her Sovereign defense in case of traffic violations and resisting arrest. Nordic Dave calls in to share his thoughts. And then for the second hour there is Katrina and her experiences with QAnon, which you can hear as a separate file, or here! Enjoy..
Interview with Katrina Vaillancourt, author of ReQovery-How I tumbled down the QAnon Rabbit Hole and Climbed out
A professional mediator trained in Nonviolent Communication and a dedicated Bernie Sanders supporter, she found herself unexpectedly spiraling down the rabbit hole of QAnon, triggered by watching the “Fall of the Cabal” online series, about how a cabal of Satanic cannibalistic child molesters operating a global child sex trafficking ring runs the Deep State, and hence the world, and suggesting that there were ‘good guys’, like Donald Trump, that would save us from this dark swamp of humanity. She speaks of “Pastel Q,” on how QAnon propaganda was targeted toward Bernie type people like her, creating and enhancing an emotional bond to their narrative.
In our interview, Katrina, with her husband Stephen, speaks of how she was captivated by the QAnon movement, how it affected her, and how she came to her senses and saw the movement from a more wholistic perspective, thanks in part to her use of NVC and communication with people outside of the QAnon world, like her husband. A profound story of losing and then regaining one’s way, her story is one of hope, and staying sane in our turbulent world, a world further complicated by more and more fake news and false narratives of what is transpiring around us. Enjoy..
