From First Principles is a fast, funny, and rigorous breakdown of the biggest science stories of the week, hosted by Lester Nare and physicist Krishna Choudhary, PhD. We go past headlines into the actual mechanics: what happened, why it matters, and what everyone’s missing. Expect physics, space, AI, energy, biotech, and the occasional “wait… is that real?” story. If you’re curious, skeptical, and you like learning in public — you’re in the right place.

FFP EP. 6 | New Supernova, Virus+Bacteria vs Cancer, Electron Spin, Bee Superfood

Hosted by Lester Nare and Krishna Choudhary, Episode 6 of From First Principles covers four groundbreaking stories in science—from rare cosmic explosions to synthetic biology breakthroughs that could save our food supply. This week, we dive into a never-before-seen type of supernova, explore a surprising alliance of viruses and bacteria against cancer, unpack how scientists are turning electron spin into power, and highlight Oxford’s CRISPR-based superfood for honeybees.

Summary

  • A naked supernova reveals the inner layers of a dying star
  • Viruses and bacteria team up to fight cancer with Trojan-horse biology
  • Harnessing electron spin for ultra-efficient future tech
  • Scientists engineer bee superfood to save pollinators and agriculture

Show Notes

  • CNN — New Supernova Discovery
  • Nature — Virus+Bacteria Therapy
  • Phys.org — Spintronics Study
  • BBC — Bee Superfood
