The Last Question is a science and technology podcast from DataFest, Scotland’s premier festival of innovation run by The Data Lab - Scotland’s innovation centre for data and artificial intelligence, hosted by the University of Edinburgh. Join our hosts Gordon Johnstone and Lily Higham as they talk to people at the cutting edge of technology and innovation - from quantum computing to nanotechnology, sci-fi authors to ethicists, from the James Webb Telescope to the search for extra-terrestrial life. These fascinating interviews explore the most exciting developments in the world of science while also engaging in some wild speculation along the way. There will be new episodes every two weeks and podcast listeners get an exclusive discount on tickets to DataFest events.

Birds using quantum entanglement, plants utilising quantum coherence, cells harnessing quantum tunneling - biologists are having to face, for the first time, the effects of the subatomic world on their field.
Your hosts Lily and Gordon chat to Professor Jim Al-Khalili - quantum physics professor, broadcaster, and winner of the Stephen Hawking Medal - about the emerging field of quantum biology and what it might mean for our understanding of evolution, the future of renewable energy, and whether it can be harnessed.
