Gerald Pollack: Membranes, Charge Separation & ATP: Investigating Biology's Foundations

Gerald Pollack is a professor of bioengineering at the University of Washington. He is the Founding Editor-in-Chief of the journal, WATER; Executive Director of the Institute for Venture Science; and founder of the Annual Conference on the Physics, Chemistry, and Biology of Water. In this conversation, we focus on the shortcomings of staple ideas in biology such as cell membranes, ATP and ion channels. If these 'textbook' ideas are even slightly wrong, what are the implications for the rest of biology? There appear to be plenty of holes in the orthodox views that must be addressed with genuine investigation.
