    The recent pandemic fundamentally altered the world we live in, prompting the sudden appearance of new laws, social distancing, and even transforming daily life. But while we were all quarantined at home, what was going on behind the scenes?

    Imagine if Google could compose college-level essays. Speak and analyze every language. Pass the US Medical Licensing Exam. Enter ChatGPT. But as the technology threatens to create malicious software, spread misinformation, and eliminate jobs, do its dangers outweigh its revolutionary capabilities?
  • Interactive DNA Isolation Lab Experiment

    Have you ever wondered how scientists extract DNA from an organism? Or what this DNA looks like when removed from cells? Together, we performed a DNA isolation lab; we swabbed our cheeks, isolated DNA from the samples, and visualized the strands of our own genetic information!

    When the observation of nature stands to teach us so much about medicine, engineering, and materials science, it begs the question; if we are biologically animals, why do we refuse to see ourselves as such?

    How do we properly balance the benefits of AI with transparency and patient privacy? How do we limit the incorporation of biases into AI models? Who is accountable when AI makes a mistake?

    How much time do we have left to reverse climate change? Some say nine years, some say seven, and others say we've already passed the point of no return. Will nuclear energy be the technology that revolutionizes clean energy or that diverts funds from renewable sources such as solar or wind power?

    Can you imagine storing the entirety of the world's data in the trunk of a car? To learn about nature's mechanism for storing huge amounts of information (spoiler: DNA!), we were joined by Dr. Tracy Kambara, Head of Molecular Biology at Catalog, a Cambridge-based biotechnology company.

    Dream of a future in which physical traits are customizable, illness is ‘curable,’ and the biosphere is strengthened against climatic changes. With CRISPR-Cas9, maybe this future isn’t as distant as you’re imagining.
