Race Science Threatens Genomic Integrity, Breakthroughs in Energy and Neurosurgery

In this episode, we explore the alarming rise of 'race science' activists and their impact on genomic research, as leading scientists denounce these discredited ideas. We also discuss a groundbreaking graphene-chip implant trial in the UK that could revolutionize brain tumor surgery. Additionally, scientists are on the brink of creating the heaviest element ever, and a new method in fusion energy research promises to transform sustainable energy production. Join us as we delve into these critical developments in science and their implications for the future.
