How does the Internet work? To be honest we don't know either. But on Tech Talk, we deconstruct the relationship between humans and technology and understand how it shapes our business and life.

AI in Education: Charting New Territories

Once again, Rich Bradbury and Matt Armitage explore the world of weird science. Matt looks at the potential anti-aging effects of space travel on billionaires, the use of AI to decode dog vocalizations, and the accidental broadcast of a NASA training exercise.


Returning to the theme of innovative energy solutions, they discuss a new material from MIT that uses soot, carbon black, in concrete to store electricity. Before turning to gravity batteries in abandoned mines and skyscrapers, and the concept of buildings as energy storage devices.


Finally, Rich confronts Matt’s brainrot, a term used to describe the impact of social media on one's worldview and mental health.

Matt Armitage and Richard Bradbury explore exciting breakthroughs in cancer treatment, focusing on the shift from viewing cancer as a singular entity to understanding it as an ecosystem. They discuss the potential of mRNA vaccines for personalized cancer treatment, the promising results of a melanoma vaccine trial, and the development of engineered viruses to target and kill cancer cells. The hosts also delve into the success of lorlatinib in treating advanced non-small cell lung cancer and the benefits of flash radiotherapy in reducing toxicity and treatment duration. Additionally, they discuss the effectiveness of the immunotherapy drug Keytruda in treating bowel cancer and highlight other significant medical breakthroughs, such as the link between tetanus vaccines and a reduced risk of Parkinson's disease, as well as the discovery of a genetic "volume control" for inflammatory bowel disease. The episode emphasizes the importance of these advancements in improving cancer survival rates and patient quality of life.

The hydrogen goldrush is the latest frontier of the energy wars. Rich and Matt examine the latest breakthroughs in hydrogen energy technology and look at its green credentials. Join them as they unpack the science behind green, blue, and even geologic hydrogen, and explore its potential to power our cars, trucks, and even airplanes of the future.



The pair also dive into the exciting possibility of extracting naturally occurring gold hydrogen from underground deposits, which could significantly boost the hydrogen fuel revolution. Is hydrogen the missing piece in the clean energy puzzle and a way to diversify our energy sources? Or just a convenient way for Matt to pour shade on EVs?
