    Episode 9: How to Regrow an Arm
    Mar 19 2024
    Regenerative medicine is a hot topic – not just in modern medicine, but in the science of the future as well. But how does it really work? What can we do with cells and DNA… and what’s still firmly in the realms of the impossible? In this episode of Set Phasers to Stun, we explore the limits of regenerative medicine, discuss how Wolverine and Deadpool heal themselves, and investigate why super-healing isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

    Minisode: Oceans, Moons, and Megalodon
    Feb 27 2024
    When it comes to bad science, creature features are the absolute pinnacle. In this minisode, we talk about what the ocean floor has in common with distant moons, whether or not there really could be a surviving Megalodon in the deep, and our favourite pseudoscience from The Meg.

    Minisode: This Is Your Brain on Digital
    Feb 20 2024
    Can you upload your consciousness into a digital storage medium? Can you convert yourself into a cyber-person, save yourself to a backup hard drive, or edit your code to remove the bits you’d rather not have? In this minisode, we talk about the reality of brain-computer interfaces and why that’s unlikely anytime in the near future – no matter how much fans of these interfaces may yearn for a digital existence.
