Season 6, Episode 6 - Never aging, de-extincting, and chatting to each other in our dreams.

This episode, we look at how the dream-sharing tech of Inception is now real. Yes, we think it is as crazy as it sounds with equally crazy potential! We also talk about the developments in anti-aging from a variety of angles, from mitochondrial recharging to centromere manipulation.

We also look into the de-extinction of animals like the Thylacine or Tassie Tiger, how we might shoot webs like Spiderman, and how we can now design recreational drugs so you never get a bad trip.

Please enjoy our discussion in this episode.
