Episode description

In this episode, we talk with Dr. Tiffany Vora, Head of Faculty at Singularity University, about Digital Biology and treating DNA like computer code.

  • 5:00 The global SU faculty
  • 11:00 Digital Biology
  • 17:00 Building DNA like Legos
  • 24:00 Radical transparency and programming the future of life
  • 30:00 Bio Brokers... who owns your body's data?
  • 35:00 Moving from sick-care to healthcare
  • 54:00 Developing your Spidey Sense

Tiffany's mission is to boil down the education from the past 1000 years and only keep the good stuff. "And, to burn down the rest! That's the moon shot, the meta-vision."

Listen in for news about the science-fiction realities now happening in biology and tech, and see how you can use uncanny partnerships (makeup and yogurt?) to stay at the cutting edge.
