Another Life
Listen
On this episode, we explore opportunities for another life in health, science, and technology. What does it take for things — and people — to morph, change, or stage a comeback? In medicine, cell phone towers provide refrigeration power to keep vaccines from spoiling. A beloved pet becomes home decor. And, when a high-tech navigation system is vulnerable, a seemingly outdated system gets a second chance. Plus, dead bodies go into the compost pile and live again as fertilizer.
