Innovation Overground: Truth (232)

Innovation Overground ·

2020/02/24

Even as we drown in more and more information we grow more and more uncertain about what’s true. The Overground takes a turn for the morally ambiguous as they discuss how human technology has made it harder to know what to believe. University innovation to the rescue? University innovation is, um, reading the text messages, ahem, between patients and... uh... their therapists. Which, could have some beneficial impact, right? Also, Tyler talks about the ethical dilemma of information

Innovation Overground ·

2020/02/17

Rare earth elements are supposed to be rare, but this is getting ridiculous. Rare earth elements make highly efficient catalysts and magnets, and they’re critical resources for the electric-driven green economy. Demand is outstripping supply, and the elements are not evenly distributed across the nations of the earth. University innovation to the rescue! There are now next-generation magnets that are rare-earth element free, and in the future, these precious elements will come from a place
