Christopher Gregg explores the surprising genetic links between humans and hibernating animals, what these discoveries reveal about resilience and how this emerging science could transform medicine. -
Geologist Jeff Moore explains how vibration analysis, usually used on natural arches and rock formations, is revealing the hidden biomechanics of the saguaro cactus. -
Powder Watts founders Thomas Clardy and Kai Kuck discuss how rooftop heat cables became one of the largest hidden sources of winter energy waste and why computer vision and automated control can turn a long-ignored system into a valuable tool for grid stability. -
Author Alex Pentland discusses how modern technology often overlooks community, why shared stories drive human behavior and how AI can be redesigned to strengthen collective understanding instead of eroding it. -
Acclaimed author Simon Winchester discusses “The Breath of the Gods,” his sweeping new book on the power, mystery and history of wind, and how it continues to shape civilization, climate and conflict. -
Monterey Technologies’ Todd Cloutier and Tom Sharkey explain how human-centered design and human engineering shape everything from submarines to software, ensuring complex systems help people make better, safer decisions rather than overwhelm them.
