In this episode of In Vivo, I speak with Sally Adee, the author of We Are Electric: Inside the 200-Year Hunt for Our Body’s Bioelectric Code and What the Future Holds. This masterclass in bioelectricity dives deep into the state of research, the fascinating history of the field, and the groundbreaking possibilities it offers for the future of medicine, biology, and beyond.

Building on a recent discussion I had with Dr. Michael Levin—one of the leading figures in bioelectricity research—Sally and I explore how electrical signals within living organisms could serve as a unifying principle for biology, connecting the genome, proteome, microbiome, and more. From the early days of Galvani and Volta to DARPA's experiments with transcranial direct current stimulation, this conversation covers everything you need to know about bioelectricity’s journey from a niche curiosity to a transformative scientific frontier.

Whether you’re curious about its applications in health, its potential to revolutionize wound healing and regeneration, or the ethical questions it raises, this interview is your ultimate guide to understanding the bioelectric century.
