Listen to the original audio · Transcribed with NVIDIA Parakeet · Why times can differ in your player

Hello everyone, welcome to a new episode of the Decenter. I'm your host as always, Ricardo Lopes, and today I'm joined by two guests, Dr. Arvid Ogren and Dr. Mannus Patten. Dr.

Ogren is a returned guest, he is now assistant professor at the Cleveland Clinic Learner College of Medicine at Case Western Reserve University. And Dr. Patton is teaching professor in the Department of Biology at Georgetown University. And they are editors of the book we're going to talk about today, which is The Paradox of the Organism, Adaptation and Internal Conflict.

So Dr. Ogren, welcome back to the show. Dr. Patton, welcome to the show. Really nice to have you on both.
