It's easy to imagine the future looks like today, but 30 years ago flat-screen TVs, global biodisasters, online communities, and plant-based meats only existed in research labs and as probability equations in papers across the country. Research is happening every day that never makes the news; research that will change what our future will look like. We're joined by experts in the field to discuss how the research they are doing today will have ripple effects across space and time. Join Nash Flynn and Andy Ciccone talk as we learn from experts about the things coming tomorrow, but today.

Superbugs, Climate Change, & Capitalism with Dr. Ayesha Khan

We chat with infectious disease specialist Dr. Ayesha Khan about superbugs, drug resistance, climate change, and how all of these things are exacerbated by one common denominator-- our economic model of growth. How does climate change reinforce the speed at which drug resistance is spreading, and what solutions are out there around solving the riddle of protecting people from these dangerous bacteria and fungi? Tune in to find out.
