Episode description

Does "the cloud" hold more data than a clouds hold raindrops? Can a new organ literally rewrite your personality?


Professor Hannah Fry and Michael Stevens, VSauce, weigh our massive digital servers against a standard downpour, before unpicking the biology of transplant patients suddenly waking up with entirely new cravings.


Michael also has a new Curiosity Box coming featuring an altertative periodic table disguised as a snail pin badge to showoff to Hannah.
