She is a cooperation theorist, theoretical evolutionary biologist, and cancer biologist who now works at the intersection of these fields. She will be having a book coming out in the near future, Evolution in the Flesh: Cancer and the Transformation of Life.In this episode, we talk about what game theory is, and how it works; conflict between the mother and the fetus in the womb; walk away vs the traditional tit-for-tat cooperative strategies; the osotua system of the Masai, a need-based cooperative system; principles that rule interactions from the cellular to the societal levels, and how they can be applied to develop better tools to fight cancer.Time Links:--Follow Dr. Aktipis’ work:Personal website: http://www.athenaaktipis.org/Faculty page: https://tinyurl.com/y7zymzjmArticles on Researchgate: https://tinyurl.com/yckwpbjkTwitter handle: @AthenaAktipis--A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS: KARIN LIETZCKE, ANN BLANCHETTE, JUNOS, SCIMED, PER HELGE HAAKSTD LARSEN, LAU GUERREIRO, RUI BELEZA, MIGUEL ESTRADA, ANTÓNIO CUNHA, CHANTEL GELINAS, JIM FRANK, JERRY MULLER, FRANCIS FORD, AND HANS FREDRIK SUNDE!I also leave you with the link to a recent montage video I did with the interviews I have released until the end of June 2018:https://youtu.be/efdb18WdZUoAnd check out my playlists on:PSYCHOLOGY: https://tinyurl.com/ybalf8kmPHILOSOPHY: https://tinyurl.com/yb6a7d3pANTHROPOLOGY: https://tinyurl.com/y8b42r7g
