Episode Details

Scientists have cracked open a secret second layer of instructions buried inside your DNA — and it changes everything we thought we knew about how genes work. Meanwhile, a gas that smells like rotten eggs has been found to protect brain cells and stave off Alzheimer's, while a surprising connection between your gut bacteria and deadly neurological diseases like ALS is turning heads in the research world. On the cancer front, a previously unknown virus has been linked to one of the most common cancers in the Western world, and a massive new study is reshaping how we think about everyday pesticide exposure and cancer risk. Plus: quantum batteries are now real, ancient humans were seafaring far earlier than we thought, and centenarians appear to age at the biological level in ways that could unlock the secrets of living longer for all of us.
