“What’s it gonna take to do more of this as a society to find common ground on goals and argue productively about solutions.”
An inspiring conversation between a scientist and a journalist about the common challenges we face.
Hosted by scientist Eric Lander and in partnership with Pushkin Industries and the Boston Globe, Brave New Planet is a podcast about amazing new technologies that might dramatically improve our world, or, if we don’t make wise choices, could leave us a lot worse off. This generation’s choices will shape the future as never before. Utopia or dystopia? It’s up to us.
Dr. Eric Lander is the president and founding director of the Broad Institute, a biomedical research institution focused on genomic medicine founded by MIT and Harvard. He is also professor of biology at MIT and professor of systems biology at Harvard Medical School. A geneticist, molecular biologist, and mathematician, Lander has played a pioneering role in all major aspects of the reading, understanding, and medical application of the human genome—including being one of the principal leaders of the international Human Genome Project from 1990 to 2003. Lander has also played an active role in public policy, including serving as co-chair of the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology from 2009 to 2017.
