Episode description
On this week's Tech Nation,
we look at a time in American life when a scientist and science were
forefront in the minds of the public. We talk about the atomic
bomb, the media embrace of Robert Oppenheimer, and national
interests in the post-World War II Cold War.
Then on BioTech Nation, an Australian firm takes antibodies from sharks to create new medications. And the latest report on the environmental impact of biotechnology on global agriculture.
