Scientists are hacking multi-cellularity. Translation: Cells from your cheek could be turned into stem cells, and then re-grown them into some other body part, like a lung or tonsil. They can also change them into parts that are nearly you. Join the Overground as they are curiously repulsed by organoids: The synthetic step between cells, organs and a newer, healthier you.  

Featured Technology: Links coming soon.

The future is now, and it’s lab grown meat: eagle steaks, extruded meat, slaughterhouse daycare, cellular agriculture. Nothing seems impossible as startup companies spring up with industrial-scale cell cultures, and make kinder, better burgers...named Floyd?

Every idea is built on assumptions. Multi-billion-dollar drug development projects are based on less-than-perfect understandings of underlying disease. That understanding could be wrong...at a cost of more than $1,000,000,000. Join the Overground as they pop the balloon of scientific orthodoxy with recent discoveries that challenge what we thought we knew about Alzheimer’s disease.

Smaller than a single cell, and using bleeding edge technology, next-generation robots will remake biological systems with the precision of human engineering and the innovation of the internet... sometime in the distant future. Joe went searching for next generation nanotechnology and came back with tubes, nanotubes that is. Listen as the Overground crew riffs on advanced material science, biologically inspired sensors and the under-appreciated brilliance of Lt. Col. Jimmy Doolittle.
