As part of our Inside Science interview series, we have an amazing interview with NYT best-selling science writer Sally Adee.  Sally Adee’s new book is We Are Electric: Inside the 200-Year Hunt for Our Body’s Bioelectric Code, and What the Future Holds

Thank you so much for listening. We’ve got a great guest today in Sally Adee  who’ll join us in just a moment with a reading from her new book. But, quickly, if you missed any episodes, last week was our 713th episode when I spoke with LYDIA FENET who is a global thought leader, a best-selling author, who has led auctions for more than six hundred organizations raising over $1B for nonprofits globally. Two weeks ago I spoke with Smithsonian Associate Neil Theise about his upcoming Smithsonian Associates presentation titled Notes on Complexity: Connection, Consciousness, and Being.  Excellent subjects for our Not Old Better Show audience. If you missed those shows, along with any others, you can go back and check them out with my entire back catalog of shows, all free for you, there on our website, NotOld-Better.com.  You can Google Not Old Better and get everything you need about us!

Our guest today on The Not Old Better Show, Inside Science series on radio and podcast is science and technology journalist Sally Adee.  Sally Adee’s work has appeared in New Scientist, The New York Times, BBC Future, and the Economist. Sally Adee was technology features and news editor at New Scientist, where she wrote long-form articles on how human minds and bodies intersect with the machines we create. Sally Adee will tell us about her new book, We Are Electric: Inside the 200-Year Hunt for Our Body’s Bioelectric Code, and What the Future Holds, and answer our questions about it, including does our body have the power, electrical current, to become our own batteries for cerebral spinal fluid to charge the implant? And is there no need for a battery in the body??

That of course, is our guest today, Sally Adee, reading from her new book, We Are Electric: Inside the 200-Year Hunt for Our Body’s Bioelectric Code, and What the Future Holds.  Let’s welcome to The Not Old Better Show, Inside Science series on radio, and podcast science writer Sally Adee.
