  Richard Jacobs is a highly successful entrepreneur, accomplished podcast host, and author known for his significant contributions to various fields. As the founder of a research program and software platform, Richard has played a pivotal role in advancing groundbreaking work. 
  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. His growing commitment to fostering understanding and innovation led him to establish the Finding Genius Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit supporting revolutionary research initiatives. 
  Driven by a mission to unearth transformative insights in the science of health and wellness, the foundation aims to make these insights accessible to everyday individuals who stand to benefit the most. 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.

  Particle Physics - A Very Short...

  Particle physics is the branch of physics that explores the fundamental particles that constitute matter and the forces that govern their interactions. At its core, particle physics aims to understand the building blocks of the universe, which are invisible to the naked eye but form the essence of everything around us. This field of study delves into the smallest scale of nature, where particles like quarks, leptons, and bosons interact in ways that determine the structure and behavior of all matter. 
  The development of particle physics began with the early studies of atoms, but as scientific knowledge advanced, it became clear that atoms themselves were not indivisible. The discovery of the electron in the late 19th century marked the beginning of this journey. Subsequent advancements led to the identification of other subatomic particles, such as protons and neutrons, which make up the atomic nucleus. These findings, however, were only the beginning, and as technology advanced, especially with the creation of particle accelerators, scientists began probing even deeper into the atomic structure. 
  A pivotal moment in particle physics came with the formulation of the Standard Model, a comprehensive theory that describes the electromagnetic, weak, and strong forces and classifies all known elementary particles. According to the Standard Model, all matter is made up of fundamental particles, and their interactions are mediated by force-carrier particles called bosons. This model successfully explains the behavior of particles in a wide range of experiments, and it has been verified by numerous experiments, such as those conducted at large particle accelerators like the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The discovery of the Higgs boson at CERN in 2012 provided strong experimental confirmation of the Standard Model and earned the physicists involved the Nobel Prize.

  The Big Bang of Numbers - How to...

  Our universe has multiple origin stories, from religious creation myths to the Big Bang of scientists. But if we leave those behind and start from nothing—no matter, no cosmos, not even empty space—could we create a universe using only math? Irreverent and boundlessly creative, The Big Bang of Numbers invites us to try. 
   
   
   
  In this new mathematical origin story, mathematician and novelist Manil Suri creates a natural progression of ideas needed to design our world, starting with numbers and continuing through geometry, algebra, and beyond. He reveals the secret lives of real and imaginary numbers, teaches them to play abstract games with real-world applications, discovers unexpected patterns that connect humble lifeforms to enormous galaxies, and explores mathematical underpinnings for randomness and beauty. With evocative examples ranging from multidimensional crochet to the Mona Lisa's asymmetrical smile, as well as ingenious storytelling that helps illuminate complex concepts like infinity and relativity, The Big Bang of Numbers charts a playful, inventive course to existence. Mathematics, Suri shows, might best be understood not as something we invent to explain Nature, but as the source of all creation, whose directives Nature tries to obey as best she can.

  “When today’s technology relies on yesterday’s data, it will simply mirror our past mistakes and biases.” 
  AI and other high-tech tools embed and reinforce America’s history of prejudice and exclusion — even when they are used with the best intentions. Patrick K. Lin’s Machine See, Machine Do: How Technology Mirrors Bias in Our Criminal Justice System takes a deep and thorough look into the use of technology in the criminal justice system, and investigates the instances of coded bias present at every level. 
  In this book, you’ll learn how algorithms and high-tech tools are used in unexpected ways: suggesting which neighborhoods to police, predicting whether someone is more or less likely to commit a crime, and determining how long someone’s prison sentence should be. 
  Machine See, Machine Do takes you on an eye-opening journey of discovery, encouraging you to think twice about our current system of justice and the technology that supposedly makes it more “objective” and “fair.” If you are someone who cares deeply about criminal justice reform, is curious about the role of technology in our day-to-day lives, and ultimately believes we should aspire to make both of these spaces more ethical and safe, this book is for you.
