Artificial intelligence (AI) is seen by some as the emerging technology to replace teachers. Really? How should we respond?

5 | The Human Microbial System

13.5 minutes

The human microbiome is rapidly emerging as an important character in the story of human structure and function. Perhaps we should start thinking of it alongside the other major systems of the body—as the human microbial system (HMS).

7 | Special Series of Episodes

2.5 minutes

The next few episodes will be super, spectacular, and special. So I'm calling them "specials" just like the grownups in the media world do.

These specials will be single-topic-ish recasts of some of the major themes from the past 18 months of this podcast. A mix of old and new. But mostly, the classic stuff that we'll benefit from reviewing and reflecting upon.

Hold onto your seats, this is going to be a blast!
