What the (Bio)Hack?! Podcast

Bronic's What the (Bio)Hack?! is a podcast to discover what the hack security means for biology. Our host interviews some of the world's mad scientists and rad hackers across deceivingly unrelated disciplines to uncover what the future holds and how we can design against crime.

In this episode, we speak with George Church, Professor of Genetics at Harvard Medical School and Professor of Health Sciences and Technology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). With an impressive background as a serial entrepreneur, having co-founded 46 companies and holding 156 patent publications, George gives us his perspectives on technology, entrepreneurship, and the future of communication. He talks to us about the importance of ethics, safety, security, and equitable costs in relation to transformative technologies for reading and writing three-dimensional and four-dimensional structures. We geek out on science and re-learn the word "future" to mean now; like the idea of recording sensory experiences directly through biological means  without the need for external devices. We talk about synaesthesia, gene therapy, super-cells, the connectome and more to understand what the future holds and how we can design against crime.
