Bio Eats World

Bio (our shorthand for the intersection of the life sciences, healthcare, technology, and industry) is today where the computing revolution was 50 years ago: on the precipice of revolutionizing our world, and in ways we are only just beginning to appreciate. Through conversations with leading experts from scientists to company builders — as well as special “Journal Club” episodes where we bridge academic and industry from paper to practice — this show examines how bio is fundamentally transforming every industry and our lives. In short, bio is eating the world. [Show temporarily on hiatus.]
