What if we could simulate the future of farming—and make smarter choices now?

In this episode, systems modeler and agroecologist Delphine Derrien breaks down how regenerative agriculture can be scaled intelligently through computational modeling. Her work connects carbon sequestration, regional realities, and global food systems in ways that challenge conventional thinking.

We explore:

• How modeling can predict the climate impact of regenerative farming
• Why “best practice” varies by region, culture, and ecosystem
• How better data leads to more grounded decisions for both growers and policymakers

This is systems thinking in action—practical, scalable, and rooted in the complexity of real land, real people, and a changing planet.

We often think of T cells as the body’s defenders—but what happens when they can’t move where they’re needed?

In this episode, immunologist Dr. Jessica Lancaster breaks down the overlooked role of fibroblasts—the structural cells that help (or hinder) T cell movement—and how this relationship impacts aging, immune function, and disease outcomes.

We explore:

• Why aging immune cells don’t just slow down—they get stuck
• The role of tissue environments in T cell surveillance and mobility
• How manipulating fibroblast–T cell interactions could unlock better therapies for cancer, infection, and age-related decline

This conversation zooms in on one of the most dynamic frontiers in immunology—and makes it accessible, without watering it down.

What if we could map the healing signals our bodies already use—and turn them into targeted therapies?

In this episode, Dr. Hanadie Yousef, co-founder and CEO of Juvena Therapeutics, walks us through how her team is using stem cell systems biology and protein mapping to develop a new class of regenerative medicines.

We explore:

• How secreted proteins mapping helps identify potential therapeutics
• What it takes to go from protein signals to actual therapy
• Why this approach could unlock treatments that are safer and more directed to specific conditions and possibly even individuals.

Dr. Yousef shares the science—but also the bigger vision: a future where healing isn’t forced, but guided by biology itself.
