This time we're talking with Professor Michel Maharbiz on the ethics of cyborg-idizing beetles to remotely perform commands with electrodes and radio signals. We get deep into how micro biology is pushing the frontiers of science in new and interestingly morally complicated ways.

Directions of Chemistry, with Christopher Cramer
In this episode, Professor Christopher Cramer of University of Minnesota explore recent and future developments in chemistry, broad as that may sound. We step a bit into the weeds of his research in polymer development, and talk about the potential growth of science in curricula in the United States.
Dr. Charles Ferris State of Petroleum Engineering
Petroleum Engineering has a bad rap; is it deserved? In this episode Dr. Charles Harris and I explore some of the myths behind petroleum engineering, the direction of the industry, and what the future holds for petroleum engineering.
A Chemical-filled past, present, and future, with Christopher Cramer
How often do you stop and think, I'm a massive chemical? In this episode, Professor Christopher Cramer of University of Minnesota and I explore how chemists push the boundaries of the building blocks of our existence, hopefully toward a sustainable future.
Electrodes, Ethics, and armies of remote Control Beetles, with Michel Maharbiz
