  In October 2016, driven by a keen interest in emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, 3D printing, regenerative medicine, Bitcoin, and blockchain, Richard embarked on a journey to unravel the mysteries of these fields. This passion culminated in the creation of the Future Tech Podcast. From the beginning, his goal was to find geniuses—the top 1% in their field who are almost impossible to reach from the outside. 
  Following a significant health crisis in 2017, Richard shifted his focus to health, medicine, and bioscience issues that impact us all, and the Finding Genius Podcast was born.

Complementing this endeavor, Richard hosts two additional podcasts, The Good Question and Surviving Hard Times, both committed to delivering life-enriching and practical information. 
  Richard's extensive interviews with nearly 4,000 scientists, researchers, clinicians, CEOs, CSOs, entrepreneurs, and amateur scientists have resulted in a rich knowledge database and the Finding Genius book series, covering relevant and intriguing topics, including viruses, cancer, sleep health, and microplastics. He continues to be a driving force in entrepreneurship, podcasting, and philanthropy, leaving a lasting mark on the landscape of scientific exploration.

  In the dust of the Gilded Age Bone Wars, two vastly different men emerge with a mission to fill the empty halls of New York's struggling American Museum of Natural History: Henry Fairfield Osborn, a socialite whose reputation rests on the museum's success, and intrepid Kansas-born fossil hunter Barnum Brown. 
   
   
   
  When Brown unearths the first Tyrannosaurus Rex fossils in the Montana wilderness, forever changing the world of paleontology, Osborn sees a path to save his museum from irrelevancy. With four-foot-long jaws capable of crushing the bones of its prey and hips that powered the animal to run at speeds of twenty-five miles per hour, the T. Rex suggests a prehistoric ecosystem more complex than anyone imagined. As the public turns out in droves to cower before this bone-chilling giant of the past and wonder at the mysteries of its disappearance, Brown and Osborn together turn dinosaurs from a biological oddity into a beloved part of culture. 
   
   
   
  The Monster's Bones journeys from prehistory to present day, from remote Patagonia to the badlands of the American West to the penthouses of Manhattan. With a wide-ranging cast of robber barons, eugenicists, and opportunistic cowboys, New York Times bestselling author David K. Randall reveals how a monster of a bygone era ignited a new understanding of our planet and our place within it.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  When the Last One Fell Silent: Stories of Extinct Creatures is a haunting yet deeply human exploration of extinction—told not as dry statistics, but as a series of vivid portraits that bring lost creatures back to life through story, imagery, and reflection. From the island forests where dodos once waddled without fear, to the endless skies once blackened by passenger pigeons, to the misty rainforests where golden toads shimmered like jewels, each chapter of this book immerses readers in the world as it once was—and as it might never be again. 
  Extinction is as old as life itself, but in the last few centuries its rhythm has changed. Where once climate, asteroids, and ice shaped life and loss, today extinction bears the clear mark of one species—our own. This book moves tenderly through history, telling the stories of animals we have lost: the thylacine of Tasmania, hunted more by rumor than truth; the great auk and Steller’s sea cow, slaughtered out of utility and curiosity; the Pyrenean ibex, which briefly flickered back into life through cloning before disappearing again; the mammoths, whose heavy footfalls once trembled across frozen steppes; and the baiji dolphin, the gentle goddess of the Yangtze, drowned beneath the noise of factories and boats. 
  Each chapter does more than recount the facts of extinction. It lingers on the silences that follow. Silence of forests once filled with birds. Silence of oceans where seals no longer bark. Silence of mountains where goats no longer leap. Readers are invited not only to see the loss but to feel it—the grief of the final call, the heaviness of absence, the weight of knowing that these lives were here, and now they are not. 
  At the same time, When the Last One Fell Silent is not simply an elegy. It is also a mirror and a warning. Chapters on myths and legends show how humans carry the memory of vanished animals in stories of dragons, thunder birds, and mermaids.

  What happens when life throws together a busy, enthusiastic, doctor-daughter and her bereaved, disenchanted, dependent father? What happens when science meets stubbornness and a parent needs parenting? 
  Following her mother’s death, Dr Helena Popovic puts her medical training and beliefs to the test when she becomes the carer for her elderly father, who has encroaching dementia. 
  A passionate medical practitioner and international speaker, Helena finds herself living out everything she preached. 
  This moving story is part personal diary, part scientific treatise and part practical guide, woven together with humorous anecdotes. Above all, it’s an inspiring account of a daughter in search of her father: the man beyond the grief, despair, depression and dementia. 
  This timeless book deals with a complex issue many of us will need to face: how best to care for elderly parents or loved ones who can no longer care for themselves. What do those in our care most need from us? 
  Are there steps we can take to defy dementia and build a better brain? Are we able to sharpen our intellect, tap into brain potential we never knew we had, and prevent the cognitive decline most of us believe is inevitable with ageing? 
  The answer is an unequivocal YES! 
  Facts inform but stories transform. The facts in this book will change your thinking – the story in this book will change your life. 
  ‘Who would have thought that dementia could be such an adventure—that adventure, in fact, prevents dementia!’ Dr Sarah Woodbury FRANZCOG
