EarBuds Podcast Collective: *Upgrading Human Health*

How EarBuds Podcast Collective works: Each week, a theme is chosen by one of our curators. That curator finds 5 podcast episodes (from anywhere!) to go along with that theme. Listen to these podcasts by clicking on the links above, through the RadioPublic app, or you can find (most of) them on your favorite podcast app (iTunes, Stitcher, Overcast…)

PODCAST CURATOR’S NAME: Oliver Armitage, Co-Founder & Chief Scientific Officer at BIOS

WHY THIS THEME?: Technology has made us into superhumans on the outside, but so far has had little impact inside the human body. How are technologies like AI being applied and incorporated into the human body to improve our health and what does it mean for us?
