I heard her talk on a podcast, though I cannot yet locate the podcast I did go to her website. It is really interesting about life, what it is, where we came from, and other questions. [emergence.asu.edu]
The podcast is with Lex Fridman and it is in the 198 Sara I. Walker is her name. While there one can see the other people he has talked to, many are interesting and thoughtful.
i recently read a snippet along the lines of "consciousness is caused by a virus," along those lines, sorta. [livescience.com]
pretty interesting imo
