  • Brave New World Preview: Dr Sabine Donnai on Mapping the Microbiome and the Secrets to Longevity

    Brave New World Preview: Dr Sabine Donnai on Mapping the Microbiome and the Secrets to Longevity
    Mar 2 2026

    For this episode of Brave New World, Evgeny is joined by Dr Sabine Donnai, a physician specialising in precision medicine, preventive health, and is the founder of Viavi Healthcare. They explore brain health beyond standard scans, discussing how gut function, inflammation, environmental exposure, and stress interact over time.


    Drawing on Evgeny’s own test results, Sabine explains why she believes long-term cognitive resilience starts not with extreme biohacks, but with fixing the basics - particularly the gut. The conversation concludes with practical takeaways: reduce inflammatory foods, increase dietary diversity and fermented foods, support cardiovascular health, and avoid turning longevity into another source of stress.

  • O2’s Starlink phone satellite service, London’s Knowledge Quarter AI drug push, faster UK cyber fixes, NASA’s “planetary parade” sounds, and Resident Evil Requiem launch

    O2’s Starlink phone satellite service, London’s Knowledge Quarter AI drug push, faster UK cyber fixes, NASA’s “planetary parade” sounds, and Resident Evil Requiem launch
    Feb 27 2026
    a new life-sciences flex lands in King’s Cross as Genomics opens up shop in the Knowledge Quarter and shows off agentic AI for drug discovery. The government claims it’s finally speeding up cyber fixes across public services — about time — and O2 starts selling a satellite bolt-on powered by Starlink for those “why do I pay for this contract?” dead zones. After that, NASA turns the Solar System into an audio experience you can actually listen to, and in gaming, it’s launch day for Resident Evil Requiem — so dodge spoilers like it’s Oxford Street at rush hour.

    UCL’s laser-drone forest scans, UK digital jobs snapshot, ASML chip breakthrough, “super agers” brain clue, and Xbox leadership shake-up
    Feb 26 2026
    UCL researchers are using lasers and drones to scan forests in 3D — turning climate arguments into hard numbers. Then we zoom out to the UK’s latest digital sector stats, before heading global as ASML pushes forward the EUV tech that underpins the chips in basically everything. After the break, there’s a fascinating “super agers” brain clue — and in gaming, Xbox hits the big reset button at the top.
