🐸 It's been two years since the tadpole study! Two years on, there's still plenty to uncover. Read the study: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Let's talk about Tubulin. Tubulin helps your cells divide, organize, transport materials, and respond to change. It is the building block of microtubules, one of the cell's most important structural systems. But could some of the physics happening within these structures involve quantum effects? ⬇️

Can magnetic fields affect biology? If so… how??

Quantum Biology DAO @quantumbiodao.bsky.social · 22/08/2026
Weak magnetic fields shouldn’t have much of an effect on biology. The energy involved is tiny compared to all the thermal activity happening inside a cell. But biological responses have been reported. So what’s going on? Ft. A clip of Dr. Travis Craddock's presentation to the Quantum Biology DAO.

Imagine opening a biology textbook 20 years from now. There are whole chapters on quantum biology - how cells respond to magnetic fields, how quantum effects shape living systems, and what that could mean for medicine. We think that future is worth building. 📚 Let's write the next edition.

Let's talk: LONGEVITY 🧬 Research suggests weak magnetic fields may influence processes tied to oxidative stress, DNA repair, and cellular proliferation. If electron spin-dependent chemistry helps regulate these pathways, quantum biology could reveal new, non-invasive approaches to supporting aging.

Biology is incredibly powerful. We can edit genes, grow tissues, and engineer cells. And yet, there is still so much we don't understand about how living systems actually work. Maybe some of the answers lie in quantum biology.

Had an amazing time at QuEBS 2026 last week! Beyond the science, one of the biggest highlights was seeing how much momentum the field is building. We were honored to have the opportunity to present on the DAO and engage with researchers interested in helping shape the future of the field.

This #WorldQuantumDay, we're spotlighting the scientists behind the progress. The team at the @quantumbioorg.bsky.social, our largest grantee, is helping turn an emerging field into real, testable science. Today, let's celebrate the people making it happen.

Quantum Biology DAO @quantumbiodao.bsky.social · 15/04/2026
Happy World Quantum Day! A new field is emerging at the intersection of physics and life, asking a simple but radical question: could quantum physics be involved with biology, too? Today, we’re celebrating one of biology’s most profound questions, and the opportunity to explore it together.

How about the "bacterioscope?" --> a novel instrument that uses magnetic fields and synchronized fluorescence imaging to watch living bacteria respond in real time?

Quantum Biology DAO @quantumbiodao.bsky.social · 05/03/2026
5/ Panel B tracks fluorescence from the same bacterial colony at two magnetic field strengths. When the field turns ON (shaded regions), fluorescence increases at 1.0 mT but decreases at 2.5 mT. A sign flip consistent with predictions from radical-pair quantum models.

Quantum Biology DAO @quantumbiodao.bsky.social · 05/03/2026
4/ At very low magnetic field strengths, fluorescence increases as the field becomes stronger. However, at moderately higher field strengths, the trend reverses: fluorescence decreases as the magnetic field strength increases.

Quantum Biology DAO @quantumbiodao.bsky.social · 05/03/2026
3/ To do this, the team built a custom magneto-fluorescence imaging platform they call the "Bacterioscope." It combines controlled magnetic fields, synchronized illumination, and fluorescence imaging to track how living bacterial colonies respond to magnetic fields in real time.

Quantum biology shows up in more places than people may expect. What other biological processes do you think might be quantum?

Quantum Biology DAO @quantumbiodao.bsky.social · 11/02/2026
1/ Some of the most important mechanisms in biology were invisible when they were first proposed. For centuries, disease was explained using what people could observe directly: bad air, imbalances, environment. The idea that invisible organisms could cause illness seemed implausible.

1/ No, quantum biology is not science fiction or pop-science hype. If you’ve encountered quantum biology through pop culture or vague claims, that’s understandable, but it doesn’t reflect the actual field. Those portrayals tend to flatten what is, in reality, a deep and demanding area of science.

Shared data allows ideas to be tested, revisited, and connected across time and disciplines. It lets future researchers build forward instead of starting over. Open science keeps discovery cumulative, collaborative, and accelerating. Let's keep opening it up!

What if some of today’s biology markets are advancing before we understand the full causal layer underneath them? This isn’t unusual in science. It often means real effects are being observed while the underlying mechanism is still unresolved. 🧵⬇️

Quantum biology offers a new way to explore questions about how the brain works. Instead of debating these ideas in theory, it asks a question: do quantum effects inside neurons last long enough to influence biology? The brief outlines a next step: cdn.prod.website-files.com/6683bbfaeb9e...
