Summary

 Andrew Hessel is a futurist, microbiologist, geneticist, entrepreneur, and synthetic biology pioneer known for co-founding the Genome Project-write and Humane Genomics, and co-authoring The Genesis Machine, a New Yorker Best Book of 2022. He believes cells are living computers, and DNA is a programming language. And his reasoning is solid! Andrew has spoken to the FBI, the United Nations, CERN, Stanford, and Jeff Bezos's exclusive MARS conference, to name a few. Jim sits down with Andrew to talk about the future of biology, the merging of AI and life science, and what it'll mean for humans when we really start writing, not just reading, DNA.Could we engineer cancer out of existence? Should we clone ourselves? Where does science end and playing God begin? Andrew will make you see that the most disruptive technology in human history is the data in your body. Your cells. You won't want to miss this one.
