Hari and Priyanka are joined by Science Stuff host Jorge Cham to talk about advances in robotic-assisted surgery, including how robots are already helping surgeons operate with greater precision and what the future of automated surgery could look like. They also explore how artificial limbs are becoming more responsive and humanlike as AI systems learn to better interpret signals from the body. Finally, they dig into the downsides of these technologies, from growing data and energy demands to ethical questions about where AI belongs in medicine and who might be left out as it advances.

Priyanka and Hari are joined by Dr. Neil Vora, a global health expert who has spent his career fighting infectious diseases around the world. They talk about why human health is inseparable from the health of the environment and nature, what horror movies and TV shows get right about outbreaks, how misinformation and disinformation spread just as fast as viruses, and why we need more imperfect activists. It is a hopeful, clear-eyed conversation about showing up even when we do not have all the answers, staying curious instead of fearful, and remembering that protecting each other and the planet are deeply human acts.
