5/ The first quantum biology hackathon took place.

It brought together people from different disciplines to work through questions in quantum biology. We hope this was the first of many!

If you want more context, we put together a YouTube playlist featuring the leaders of the event.

As @claricedaiello.bsky.social reflects, 2025 marked a year of growth and learning for quantum biology.

Biology operations matured, and this is just the beginning at the @quantumbioorg.bsky.social!

Edge diffraction to single-slit diffraction in a closing door next to my office. I'm greeted by this happy natural phenomenon every day and finally decided to film it.

If you’re new to quantum biology (or just curious), it’s been around longer than most people realize.

This review by Johnjoe McFadden and Jim Al-Khalili lays it out for anyone interested.
The origins of quantum biology
Quantum biology is usually considered to be a new discipline, arising from recent research that suggests that biological phenomena such as photosynthesis, enzyme catalysis, avian navigation or olfaction may not only operate within the bounds of ...

For over 50 years, research has shown that weak magnetic fields influence physiology across organisms and cell types, with effects consistent with electron spin–dependent chemical reactions.

Let's start paying attention to quantum biology.
