Why fear the rise of the machines, when we can merge and rise along with them?

Merging Man & Machine

Why do governments around the world outlaw a class of substances which have been used safely by humans for thousands of years, and which may have played a key role in early developments in human culture, spirituality, and creativity?

Join Athena as she explores the underground world of psychedelic science, and the revolutionary impact it is poised to have on the pharmaceutical industries.

The Suppressed Science Of Psychedelics

The concept of race was invented during colonial and imperialist eras as a means to reify political power structures. It went on to be backed by generations of pseudoscience which became deeply ingrained in our cultural understanding of ourselves.

Race: Science, Social Construct, or Both?

Human interference with the environment has led us to the brink of an extinction-level climate-change crisis. But perhaps the solution is not to interfere less with the environment, but actually to learn how to completely control it.

In this episode, Athena takes on the controversial topic of Geoengineering, and meets scientists working on an ambitious plan to put a shield around the planet.

Weather Control: The Debate Over Geo-Engineering

From a cutting-edge, science-based gym & spa, to a medical clinic that offers direct ultrasound brain stimulation designed to increase mental performance, and even a lab doing research on how science can do in minutes what monks train their entire lives to achieve.

Human Enhancement

The discovery of CRISPR Cas-9 in 2012 opened up seemingly limitless potential in the field of genetic editing. But what scientists have found in the years since is that having an omnipotent pair of genetic scissors is not much use if you don’t know where to cut.

In one form or another, energy makes the world go round. In this installment, Athena decodes some of the difficulties faced by the scientists & environmentalists looking to fundamentally change our relationship with energy. Where we get it. How we use it. Where it is stored, transmitted, and beyond.
