Professor Keon West has long been interested in the gap between what people think they know about racism and what the science actually shows. Alongside his academic work, he regularly appears at events like Cheltenham Science Festival, opening up conversations about bias, scientific literacy, and why facts matter even in the most emotionally charged topics. In this episode, we talk about applying science to racism, the misconceptions that persist, and what happens when research meets real-wor...

Building a Unified Platform for Biological Discovery with CRISPR
Can CRISPR help build a unified platform for biological discovery? Dr Kaivalya Shevade from the Laboratory for Genomics Research (UCSF) is developing new CRISPR-based screening methods to map gene networks, understand drug resistance, and track neuronal activity in disease. The research team’s innovations, including the CAT-ATAC assay and the Plexus machine learning model, show how combining biology with computation could accelerate the search for new treatments.
