A drone flew a kidney to a transplant patient in a proof-of-concept flight. Stephanie and Michael discuss the feasibility of this, and muse about our drone future. Is it full of drone pirates? We shall see.

Michael mentions XKCD, and Randall Munroe's new book. Serena Williams really did take down a drone with a tennis serve.

Tweet at us what you're ordering from Amazon via drone, if you'd like it delivered via tiny Hunger Games parachute, or if you've got a screenplay for a new Drone Pirates movie at YDWN_Podcast.

Michael and Stephanie discuss culture in child development and the related milestones. Different cultures raise babies different, and it turns out you CAN teach a five month old to stand on their own. 

Check out this dragon costume. All the rage these days.

If you'd like to talk to us, after rating and reviewing the podcast, please tweet to us at YDWN_Podcast with the hashtag #SurferBaby. 

The podcast we referenced as a throwback is called We Have Concerns, who's ending was the motivation for us to start this one.

Michael and Stephanie discuss solar roadways, and Solar Roadways, whether or not they're currently feasible, and how we'd put the sun and road to work for us. Here's a post from Green Tech Media laying out a lot of the problems. 

A stretch of road in France, dubbed WattWay, that we mentioned was already in use with similar technology does not seem to be fairing that well in 2019. There's definitely some useful thoughts here, but perhaps we're not quite there yet. 

Where do you think the best application is for solar panels? Or where have you seen panels recently and thought "Hey, great idea!"? Tweet us and let us know, or just reach out and let us know what you're thinking about.

Michael and Stephanie discuss the movie Gattaca, and the science and tech ideas it talked about. A look at privacy, data, tracking and all the modern day concerns that are very present in the movie.

The CRISPR Netflix show Stephanie mentions is called Unnatural Selection. If you've seen that, let us know if it's worthwhile.

As always, reach out to us on Twitter or by email and let us know what you're favorite scenes of Gattaca were, or what you'd imagine a Gattaca 2019 would look like.

Stephanie and Michael discuss a California man who has a genetic disorder that basically makes him allergic to the sun, and his desire to give scientists carte blanche to try to fix it with CRISPR. 

There was some brief discussion about non-UN nations, and it turns out really the only nations not members are ones that aren't really officially recognized. Palestine and Vatican City mainly. Also Kosovo, Western Sahara, Taiwan, places like that.  

Next week's episode is a Gattaca discussion and how it pertains to science and tech today. Fairly interesting stuff, and if you need a refresher on the movie, now's your time. It's on Netflix. 

If you'd like to weigh in on what genes you want to edit, or anything else, reach out on Twitter or email us!

Michael and Stephanie discuss the growing e-cigarette injuries and the science that might have teens smoking cyanide. This article sums it up, as well as talks about the successful lobbying that went on to prevent the FDA from helping to curtail some of this five years ago. 

This is the first episode with Michael's new microphone, so please let us know if the sound quality is better, and if you think Stephanie needs an upgrade too. All feedback welcome: [email protected].

Rejoice, as is this the last episode recorded before Michael purchased a new microphone. Future episodes should sound a lot better.

MichaelBot and Stephanie discuss an AI named Pluribus that has beat expert poker players at their own game. 

Alluded to but not mentioned is the AI that beat the top-ranked team in DOTA2, a video game. 

Woe Bot is the AI mental health bot that Stephanie mentioned. Bots are cool and all, but if you're struggling with your own mental health, please reach out to a real life human doctor, not a bot. I hear there are even ways to talk to a real physician from your own home.

Stephanie and Michael discuss an urban legend about an Inuit man who survived in the wilderness by making a knife out of his own poop, and the scientists who decided to Mythbusters it. The third party sounds bytes throughout the episode are from the Mythbusters TV Show intro.

The ice bar Michael was talking about in Manhattan is called Minus 5. It was apparently an extreme tourist trap and is now closed, thought it still exists in Las Vegas, so I imagine one in Texas could work too. The one in Prague looks to still be open, and still be really cool, pun intended.

Stephanie and Michael discuss software that allows your employer to build a data profile on you, to track you, to know what you're up to. What a world we're living in. 

Stephanie mentions a movie that Michael knows nothing about, as per usual. It's called The Circle, and is based on a book by Dave Eggers. It actually has Emma Watson, Karen Gillan and Tom Hanks in it, which pretty much means Michael intends to watch it, AND read it. 

Here's the episode of We Have Concerns that talked about the UPS drivers and left turns.

Stephanie and Michael discuss a 3D printed heart and what that could mean for the future of organ transplants and perhaps the future of science fiction.
