It’s happened. The first children genetically engineered with the powerful DNA-editing tool called CRISPR-Cas9 have been born to a woman in China. Their altered genes will be passed to their children, and their children’s children. Join CRISPR’s co-discoverer, microbiologist Jennifer Doudna, as we explore the perils and the promise of this powerful technology. It is not the first time human ingenuity has created something capable of doing us great good and great harm. Are we up to the challenge of guiding how CRISPR will shape the future?
PARTICIPANTS: Jennifer Doudna, Jamie Metzl, William Hurlbut
MODERATOR: Guy McKhann

According to our best theories of physics, the fundamental building blocks of matter are not particles, but continuous fluid-like substances known as 'quantum fields'. David Tong explains what we know about these fields, and how they fit into our understanding of the Universe.

What if everything you thought you knew about Egypt was only half the story? In this episode, we uncover Egypt’s hidden African roots and reveal how modern Egypt has weaponized religion and power to control Ethiopia and its access to the Nile River. Ancient Egypt’s undeniable Black heritage has been erased by colonial narratives and modern politics, but the truth can no longer be ignored.
In this episode we explore the African identity of ancient Egypt that has been buried for centuries. But this story isn’t just about the past—it’s about how Egypt continues to influence Africa today. It seems that religion has been used as a tool to control Ethiopia and block its use of the Nile waters, Africa’s lifeblood.
This episode is about reclaiming history, understanding the present, and challenging the narratives that divide Africa. Join me as we expose the truth behind Egypt’s hidden Black history and its power struggle with Ethiopia.

ABOUT DUET JUSTUS
Hi! We are Michael + Jenny Justus. We post videos on our life of alternative + sustainable + healthy living. Our desire to live a more meaningful life led us to concoct a crazy plan: Downsize our belongings, ditch the "9-5," and move full-time into a solar-powered, self-sustainable tiny home on wheels with our two dogs, Chase + Roni. Taking this leap into the unknown has completely transformed our future, so be sure to hit that SUBSCRIBE button, join the Justus League, and follow along to see where the journey take us!
