Today, our old good friend and “comrade in happiness” Ilya Kolmanovsky, a biologist, author of popular science projects, and author of the “Naked Mole Rat” podcast, is visiting the red sofa on Radio Van. https://t.me/kolm_zemlekop We agreed to talk to Ilya about new sensational discoveries by scientists, but last Friday the Russian Ministry of Justice included Kolmanovsky in the register of “foreign agents.” We could not get around this “joyful” event. “I do not want to seem tactless, because many people were very upset to learn this about themselves. I sympathize with them very much – it is disgusting and vile. But – apparently, this is my individual peculiarity – I do not feel anything in this regard. Well, as if they wrote about me somewhere on a fence. In the Kingdom of Bhutan, for example.” However, Ilya Kolmanovsky is, first and foremost, a biologist and popularizer of science. Recently, a scientific sensation has flown around the world: for the first time, human embryos have been artificially synthesized, and by two completely different groups of scientists https://radiovan.fm/station/article/4... Ilya spoke about this in detail in the morning show "Glumovo Utro". About how a new person can be created from a shapeless lump of cells, what mice can tell us (and what our civilization owes to them), about ethical dilemmas and moral laws, as well as current events - in our new issue.
