In this epsiode of the Cryosphere Chat we discuss: ● The research proposal we submitted to BRLS● Why slow growth could be an existential risk to cryonics● Our review of the Fixation vs. Vitrification discussion● Why there are so many autistic cryonicistsLinks:Fixation vs. Virtification DiscussionBiostasis Pacific NorthwestI’ll see ya later mom...

There has long been debate in the cryonics community on whether the best procedure for preserving patients is to use chemicals to fixate the brain or to perfuse cryoprotectants and use cryogenic temperatures to vitrify the body (as Alcor, Tomorrow Bio, and Cryonics Institute do).

We brought together two of the best researchers in the field to help us understand each procedure including what we care about preserving in the brain, the strengths and weakness of each approach, whether one approach favors biological reanimation vs. brain emulation, and more.

The gang catches up with Emil Kendziorra after the Biostasis 2025 conference at the European Biostasis Foundation. Watch it on YouTube here. Topics covered include:

* How to get a Tomorrow Bio ambulance in your hometown

* Tomorrow Bio’s plan to collect brain samples to check ultra-structure preservation in its patients - and how it will respond to what it finds

* What’s new and what’s next for Tomorrow Bio

* Our near death experiences

In this second episode of Cryosphere Chats we discuss Until Labs and Alcor’s organ preservation strategies, our experiences convincing others about cryonics, using terms like hibernation or cryosleep instead of death when explaining cryonics, and more!

Watch it on YouTube here.

We’re trying out a new format where the team behind the Cryosphere has an informal discussion on a range of cryonics related topics.

In this episode we talked to Ariel Zeleznikow-Johnston, a research fellow at Monash University and author of The Future Loves You. This episode includes considerable debate between the hosts and the guest, as well as participation from a live audience at the Biostasis week at Vitalist Bay.Topics Discussed & Debated:

* Why Ariel has used terms like "pseudoscience" "cult-like" and "snake oil" to describe cryonics

* Cryopreservation versus vitrifixation

* Neuroscientist's sentiments on biostasis for future reanimation

* What's the nature of consciousness and the self

* Is a brain emulation really "you" in the ways that matter
