DIOTALK Episode #238 with Molecular & Microbiologist Scientist, Sci-Fi Author Richard Anderson.

from DIOTALK Podcast · host Diomark P. Diaz Jr.

Still, I always read books and magazines on science and science fiction. That kept the wonder alive, the result always adding more questions than answers. There seemed never enough time to truly explore for answers or elusive connections. However, that continued reading helped to increase my awareness of the world outside myself.It increased my knowledge and understanding while at the same time establishing the incompleteness of what I knew. It moved me to a place outside myself. Fortunately, this lack of knowledge further fed the wonder. This inspired my book, The Evolution of Life: Big Bang to Space Colonies, self-published in April 2022 and available now on Amazon.Some 3.8 billion years ago an extraordinary event occurred that we call the “Big Bang.” This primal release of energy formed the universe and everything in it, including us. The Evolution of Life: Big Bang to Space Colonies offers a dramatic understanding of this event, the creation of matter, how life evolved on Earth, and the wondrous extraterrestrial future that awaits us as a species, as societies, and as communities.When you read The Evolution of Life, you will be led step-by-step along this magnificent journey to a new possible dawn for humanity. Although it often seems live in a quagmire of non-ending dysfunction, we only need to review the histories of societies to realize that there has been progress. Forward-looking people may never inherit the Earth, but they will lead us into the future. They may likely create a permanent presence in space for themselves and their progeny. That event could be instrumental in saving our Earth.But the future is unknown, and I ponder this too. This inspired a science fiction series, Outbound, which I am writing currently. Book One: Islands in the Void is available now and explores living "off-world" and the challenges we may face after a possible climate catastrophe. I love to discuss where our current and future technologies could take us and how we could sustain life in space.I am an alumnus of San Jose State University, with a master’s degree in microbiology. My studies also emphasized molecular biology and biochemistry. Several years after earning my MA, I obtained a Clinical Laboratory Bioanalyst license. In subsequent years I worked in various administrative and technical management roles in a laboratory setting. My wife and I live in the south San Francisco Bay area of California, close to our children and grandchildren.Websitehttps://richardandersonauthor.com/Website #2https://www.amazon.com/Evolution-Life-Bang-Space-Colonies/dp/B09XSS9D62Website #3https://www.amazon.com/Outbound-Islands-Void-Richard-Anderson/dp/B0D1C9H3R1Facebook URLhttps://www.facebook.com/Richard-Anderson-Author-110347181547695🎙 Welcome to DIOTALK 🎙Real Conversations.
