In this episode of The Innovators & Investors Podcast, host Kristian Marquez sits down with David Brem, Managing Director of the University of Michigan’s Zell Lurie Commercialization Fund. David offers a rare glimpse into the inner workings of a student-led endowment fund focused on early-stage, sector-agnostic investments primarily in the Michigan ecosystem. He shares insights on their unique, founder-first investment approach, how they navigate pre-seed to Series A venture opportunities, and the rigorous due diligence process involving qualitative analysis over pure numbers. David also discusses his roles with global VC networks including Electro Ventures, the London Venture Capital Network, and Level Up Ventures, illustrating how he bridges U.S., European, and Australian venture ecosystems with a special focus on mobility and transportation tech. Highlights include deep dives into emerging trends like eVTOLs (electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft), smart city infrastructure, and safety innovations in aviation technology. Listeners will gain valuable perspectives on how diverse expertise—from military intelligence and management consulting to academic ventures—shapes David’s investment thesis and community-building efforts. The episode also explores the importance of networking, adding value in the startup ecosystem, and practical advice for aspiring investors or entrepreneurs navigating the venture capital world. With stories of successes, challenges, and future outlooks, this episode is a must-listen for innovators, founders, and investors aiming to understand the intersection of academia, technology, and venture capital in today’s dynamic landscape.

In the second of a two part conversation with embryologist Dr. Jeff Hardin, we get into the ethical/moral implications of experimentation with embryos, how a human embryo should be treated in terms of its human nature or capacity, fixing vs enhancing genes, creating trans-species chimeras, and attempts to make humanzes (human-chimp embryos.

In this two part conversation, I am joined by Dr. Jeff Hardin, a zoologist at the University of Wisconsin and co-author of the textbook World of the Cell . In part 1, we spend most of the discussion on the amazing and sometimes mind-boggling science of the embryo, including splitting an embryo to create two or more fully developing individuals, two or more embryos merging to form one chimera, trans-species chimeras, glow-in-the-dark cells, gene editing, clones, and designer babies. With lots of mention of movies and sci fi!…

Materialists argue we are essentially brains with legs - what your brain does is who you are. No brain function - no person. This episode is part 2 of a conversation with neuroscientist and Christian, Dr. Paul LaPenna, for a fascinating conversation on the relationship between brain function and who we are as soul-bearing individuals. What does it mean if someone’s personality changes after brain trauma? Does existence continue in the absence of brain function? What about near death experiences or end of life stories of encounters with the supernatural? What does it mean if dementia wipes out memories of coming to Christ? And is there such a thing as gendered brains?…

Ep 36 - History of Science & Faith, with Dr. Ted Davis 1:11:30

vor 9 weeks1:11:30

1:11:30

Science is frequently described as advancing as religious belief is overcome. I am joined by Dr. Ted Davis, a historian of science and Christian faith, to talk about the development of scientific though in pre-Christian/pre-Western cultures, the interplay of faith and science during the Scientific Revolution, and the drift from open expressions of appreciation of God in the opening pages of scientific texts to the modern ban on any reference to the divine. From there the conversation moves into assessments of materialist claims in belief in facts over faith (such as Jerry Coyne or Richard Dawkins), whether religious belief is decreasing among modern scientists (it is not), and interesting observations of more Christians in the hard sciences than in the social sciences.…

In this first episode in a new series on the Web of Science & Christian Faith, I am joined by archaeologist Dr. Steven Ortiz from Lipscomb University. Dr. Ortiz has led many digs in Israel and surrounding lands and was a contributor to the book Do Historical Matters Matter to Faith. Topics include expectations and the reality of archaeological evidence for the Exodus, a Jewish kingdom at the time of David, and the mixed remnants of occupation of Jerusalem - all with respect to the question of whether the Bible is true.…

Mary Schweitzer is best know for the discovery of surviving organic tissues in 65 million year old dinosaur fossils. Her story is fascinating, for she started her educational journey as a young earth creationist intent on disproving evolution, but studying actual fossils not only convinced life had truly adapted over time, but also that modern birds trace their origins back to theropod dinosaurs. More importantly, she never lost her faith in Christ or the truth of the Bible. You will hear some of that story in this episode!…

Whales and hippos share a common terrestrial ancestor? And we can tell that how? In this episode, I talk with Dr. Ryan Bebej about the story of discovery of whale evolution from a four-legged land ancestor. The conversation takes us from early speculation on the origin of whales, the discovery of transitional fossils in the Middle East, and how the discovery of ankle bones allow competing hypotheses to be put to the test.…

This episode continues the Designed for Discover series, but shifting from evidence of intentionality in creation to stories illustrating how creation is designed to allow discovery of earth's ancient past - long before human eyes were around to see. In this episode, you get a glimpse of what my geology students learn about how we figured out that continents move, how we know they were once all together, and how we can test the competing hypotheses of conventional geology and young-earth flood-geology!…

The universe is not only finely tuned for life to exist (see Ep 29), but our unique position in the solar system and galaxy also appears intentionally crafted for scientific exploration and discovery. Dr. Guillermo Gonzalez, co-author of The Privileged Planet, joins me in this episode with a special focus on just how unique our earth-moon-sun system is, and our position in the Milky Way galaxy.…

Multiple physical properties turn out to require incredibly precise values for stars, planets, and life to exist. I am particularly intrigued by how weirdly easy it is for stars to produce carbon, an atom that turns out to have no equal in its ability to support life, and the cosmic distribution system for supplying that carbon to planets. I am joined in this episode by Dr. Luke Barnes, co-author of A Fortunate Universe: Life in a Finely Tuned Cosmos, to talk about fine tuning, evidence for a Creator, and if fine tuning is compatible with a fallen creation.…

New series: Designed for Discovery! Our universe has the hallmarks of being intentionally fashioned with exploration and discovery in mind, allowing scientific methods to be applied to discover ancient earth history (before any humans were around to observe), and to find bread crumbs to a trail that leads back to a Creator. In this kickoff episode, I share my own expertise on water, delving into the unique properties of water that make it just plain weird relative to most other natural substances - but in ways that are critical to life and ecological diversity.…

In the 7th and final episode in the mini-series on Questions of Creation, I am joined by author Dr. Joel Edmond Anderson to discuss his newly revised book, The Heresy of Ham. Joel shares his story of loss of employment and severed relationships that resulted from questioning young earth dogma, and explains why he now believes the young earth message to be legitimately labeled as heresy.

Ep 26 - Young Earth Tactics: Part 2 38:04

vor 35 weeks38:04

Young Earth arguments often sound very convincing, though too often because critical information is left out, opposing arguments are misrepresented, quotes are taken out of context, or claims are made that simply not true. In Friend of Science, Friend of Faith , I have a full chapter devoted to the methods employed by Young Earth organizations that are aimed more at winning converts than communicating truth. In the long run, barriers are constructed that block the view of the Cross. In episodes 25 and 26 episodes, I am joined by Dr. Joel Duff, a biologist and partner in Christian ministry, to walk through seven tactics routinely employed by Young Earth advocates that fall short of a Gospel standard. The objective is not to disparage those who hold a different opinion, but to discourage use of arguments that ultimately undermine genuine Christian witness.…
