In this episode, we explore the alarming rise of 'race science' activists and their impact on genomic research, as leading scientists denounce these discredited ideas. We also discuss a groundbreaking graphene-chip implant trial in the UK that could revolutionize brain tumor surgery. Additionally, scientists are on the brink of creating the heaviest element ever, and a new method in fusion energy research promises to transform sustainable energy production. Join us as we delve into these critical developments in science and their implications for the future.
