Six teachers listened to the #BraveNewPlanet podcast from @broadinstitute, @pushkinpods, and @GlobeOpinion and came together to create powerful civics and science lesson plans geared towards high school students. bravenewplanet.org/teaching

What does it mean to be a “steward of the brave new planet” and, as one, how can YOU help make sure our future is guided by wise choices? The short answer, @eric_lander tells @NialaBoodhoo: “Do something.” podcasts.pushkin.fm/bnp-what…

How can we come together to tackle big challenges in science and society? @eric_lander talks to @Axios Today's @NialaBoodhoo about the importance of trust, humility, and skepticism in the worlds of science and media. Listen now: podcasts.pushkin.fm/bnp-what…

While everyone is in favor of eradicating malaria—which kills 400,000 people a year—some people are skeptical about using gene drives to do it. Journalist and filmmaker @zmmoloo explains her concerns: podcasts.pushkin.fm/bnp-gene…

Of all the possible uses of gene drives, none is more compelling than the idea of controlling the spread of malaria. And as Dr. Abdoulaye Diabaté tells @eric_lander, his home country of Burkina Faso is in need of a solution like this. Hear more: podcasts.pushkin.fm/bnp-gene…

With all of the potential upsides, why aren't we releasing gene drives into the wild? As excited as scientists are, they worry about unintended consequences or worse, malicious use by bad actors. @eric_lander hears from experts about what could go wrong. podcasts.pushkin.fm/bnp-gene…

Could CRISPR-based gene drives be the key to ending #malaria once and for all? Biologist @kesvelt speaks with @eric_lander about the possible applications in human health and agriculture. podcasts.pushkin.fm/bnp-gene…

A technology called #GeneDrives has the power to spread any genetic instructions you wish across an entire animal or plant species in the wild. Altering nature might save species or prevent disease. But could it have unintended consequences? Find out now. podcasts.pushkin.fm/bnp-gene…

Predictive algorithms have remarkable applications. But, they can also learn to be sexist and racist... which can make their use in criminal justice and job hiring concerning. So, what's inside the “black box” of algorithms? @eric_lander finds out. podcasts.pushkin.fm/bnp-algo…

Should there be regulations around governments and private companies using predictive algorithms to make judgments about people? Rashida Richardson, Visiting Scholar at @RutgersLaw, tells @eric_lander what steps experts believe need to be taken: podcasts.pushkin.fm/bnp-algo…

A.I. is making possible predictive algorithms that translate languages and spot diseases. But these systems are also being used to make decisions about hiring and criminal sentencing. Is it possible to create an algorithm that is fair for everyone? Listen: podcasts.pushkin.fm/bnp-algo…

In stock trading today, many decisions are highly automated. It sometimes leads to flash crashes. If militaries rely on autonomous robots, can the same thing happen in war? @paul_scharre discusses the risks: podcasts.pushkin.fm/bnp-robo…
