AI can’t detect cancer. Dogs with BCIs can.Dognosis co-founder Akash Kulgod spent his Berkeley cognitive science thesis on canine olfaction, then built a company around it with an ex-IDF K9 handler.He explains how 15 beagles in Bangalore screen for seven cancers from a 10-minute breath sample, why the nose is the sensor but the dog’s brain is the actual readout, how a 1,502-person study in the Journal of Clinical Oncology hit 90.8% sensitivity and 91.3% specificity, what it costs to run the trial in India instead of California, and why the best multi-cancer screening device may already have four legs.Hosted by Mgoes → https://x.com/m_goes_distanceBrought to you by SuperHuman Fund → https://superhuman.fund/Disclaimer: SuperHuman Fund is an investor in Dognosis.—0:00 - Cancer-Sniffing Dogs8:10 - Largest Dog Clinical Study12:50 - Training Dogs vs AI17:30 - Sniffmaxxing Equation22:20 - Dog BCI & AI Modeling27:10 - Frontline Cancer Screening33:40 - India vs US38:10 - Dogs Post-AI-Merge43:50 - Digitizing Smell48:40 - Dog Telepathy52:25 - Spreading Dogtimism—The Accelerate Bio Podcast explores the future of humanity in the age of Artificial Intelligence.

Artificial ovaries, robot embryologists, liquid wombs. Can fertility tech reverse the population collapse?Martín Varsavsky on the future of IVF. He built five billion-dollar companies in telecom and energy, then aimed all of it at one problem: healthy babies whenever you're ready.He explains why the embryology lab is the real bottleneck of IVF and egg freezing, how robots now inject sperm into eggs, how eggs matured outside the body cut two weeks of IVF injections to three days, and why normal incubators will soon look inhumane. On his one man quest to fix global birth rates, before it's too late.Hosted by Mgoes → https://x.com/m_goes_distanceBrought to you by SuperHuman Fund → https://superhuman.fund/—-00:00 - The Fertility Thesis07:20 - Making IVF Tolerable10:50 - FDA Has The Wrong Mandate13:25 - Artificial Liquid Wombs18:45 - Is IVG Feasible?23:20 - Delaying Menopause28:05 - IVF Robots36:10 - IVF From $20k to $2k41:30 - IVF Flips Natural?45:05 - Bans & Christian IVF50:15 - Polygenic Embryo Selection53:20 - AI x Fertility56:50 - Can Tech Repopulate Planet?1:01:35 - Culture & Fertility---The Accelerate Bio Podcast explores the future of humanity in the age of Artificial Intelligence.
