20 min - Episode 23: Crypto Is Unsafe: Today's Quantum Computing
Send us Fan Mail
A quantum computer small enough to fit in a lab and fast enough to cause trouble is no longer science fiction, which means the cryptography holding the digital world together is starting to look a bit… porous. This episode walks through how we got here, what breaks first, and why your future cybersecurity strategy may involve equal parts math, engineering, and mild existential dread.

Send us Fan Mail
The Younger Dryas was a sudden return to near‑glacial conditions about 12,800 years ago, when Earth’s climate abruptly cooled by up to 15°C after a long period of warming. In this episode, we explore how that dramatic shift was triggered using the latest scientific research findings (including a new understanding of ice physics).

25 min - Episode 21: Blown Away: How Cell Winds Spread Cancer
Send us Fan Mail
Cells aren’t as passive as scientists once thought—they actively create internal currents to move proteins quickly and efficiently. These “cellular winds” push materials to the front of the cell, enabling faster movement and repair. Discovered by chance and confirmed with advanced imaging, this system challenges decades of textbook biology. It may also reveal why some cancer cells spread so rapidly.
