From Suzan Mazur, author of The Origin of Life Circus and The Paradigm Shifters: Overthrowing ‘the Hegemony of the Culture of Darwin’, links to some vintage films of origin of life conferences funded by chemist Harry Lonsdale (1932–2014):
Before he died Harry Lonsdale sent me a package with his book on politics—Running: Politics, Power, and the Press—and a flashdrive of his 2013 meeting with the origin of life research teams he funded. I assume he wanted me to share. Following in four parts is Lonsdale’s 2013 origin of life video conference with John Sutherland, Matt Powner, Dave Deamer, et al. The original link to the meeting seems to have disappeared from the Internet. Of particular interest—John Sutherland’s presentation and Nick Hud’s comments about Niles Lehman’s research.
