Your bucks add up and give me the time and resources to
read, study and think. Every page I turn will be in gratitude to you. Who
knows, it may be your dollar that sparks the next aha! moment shedding some
light onto this question of “where we all came from!”

Creating original content for publications like Scientific
American, Life, Astrobiology, reviewing and editing scientific articles, and
developing presentations that I’m invited to give around the world takes the
lion’s share of my time.
Your gracious contribution supports this work along with the quarterly Zoom calls that provide updates on my latest projects with time for community questions and feedback.
Find an archive of my video and audio and more at my personal archive and my scientific publications at Researchgate with more being generated every month.

Coming in spring 2022 is my brand-new podcast, Four Billion
Years (4By) which will feature conversations with some of the most fascinating
researchers and thinkers in science, tech, philosophy, the arts and in the
study of conscious experience.
We’ll take on the big picture questions about how life began and evolved on Earth over a vast stretch of time to create the world we all call home and engage with ideas that might help steward this precious place into the next 4 billion years.
Your support will allow me the time to research the topics and guests that will help make the podcast a success and perhaps hit on the next big idea in Origin of Life Science.

About Dr. Bruce Damer
Hello and Welcome! I am Dr. Bruce Damer, an independent
scientist working on one of the big questions in human inquiry: how did life
begin? My colleagues around the world and I use the latest tools of
chemistry, geology, and computing to inform visionary thought experiments to
try and crack the code of creation. If we can derive this code, we might
be able to spark Copernican revolutions in evolutionary biology, philosophy, complexity
science and technology. Learning about our deepest common ancestor might even provide
us a new spiritual foundation as we come closer to a true understanding of our nature
and place in the universe.
I’m also deeply interested in the intersection of the visionary experience with major discoveries in science and technology. Albert Einstein and other scientists have been called mystics for their ability to receive “downloads” containing worked-out solutions to complex problems. To invite these downloads in my own life and work, I have honed a form of mental practice I call the “Endo Way” (for endogenous or internal) which can be synergized with the addition of the “Exo” (exogenous, coming from outside). Some of those Exo factors draw from the age-old sources of plant medicines, some from brand new laboratory tech and personal practices. As I have for so many years, I will continue bring to you the latest from the visionary, psychedelic and embodied realms. These are perhaps some of the most powerful tools for the 21st Century and I believe they are essential for our survival and the reshaping of ourselves and our world for a sustainable, long future.
Patrons have been loyally supporting my work since 2019 and as a direct result, my colleagues and I have made great progress. In addition to publishing our major work, the “Hot Spring Hypothesis for an Origin of Life” in the Astrobiology journal (April 2020), and traveling to perform chemical experiments at hot spring fields in New Zealand and closer to home in Nevada, USA we also formed BIOTA, our new origin of life research institute that supports students and young scientists wanting to engage in this work. We also built the foundations for an upcoming new podcast, Four Billion Years (4By).
If these kinds of big questions get you going in the morning or keep you up at night or if you are just curious, I invite you to consider joining the community that is forming around this mission.

Goals
€708.31 of €3,028.92 per month
The photo of the whole Earth taken from space back in 1968 has
helped to unify all of humanity in one planetary vision. My dream is that
seeing the first pre-life forms emerge under a microscope will connect us with
the fragility and preciousness of all of life, and a strong responsibility to
steward life forward. If you can help me reach this financial goal, I can devote every waking minute to realizing this dream
