It is hosted by Lulu Miller and Latif Nasser. 
  VOLUME 3: SPACE 
  “Bit Flip” - What do a hacked Belgian election, a falling airplane, and a fleet of runaway cars all have in common? The answer just might lie in the stars. 
  Terrestrials: “The Unimaginable” (Radiolab for Kids) - An invisible entity journeys to Planet Earth and literally rocks our world. 
  “The Middle of Everything Ever” - We all have moments when, facing the future or staring into the vastness of space, we feel small. But are we small? One listener asked us to find out. 
  “Mixtapes to the Moon” - They promised to change you. They ended up changing all of us. On July 20, 1969, humanity watched as Neil Armstrong stepped foot on the moon. 
  “The Moon Itself” - On Monday, April 8, 2024, for a large swath of North America, the sun disappeared, in the middle of the day. In this episode, we stop treating the moon like a bit player in this epic cosmic event and place it center stage.

  The Social Genome - The New...

  A pioneering scientist presents a mind-expanding account of the sociogenomics revolution, which promises to upend everything we know about human development. 
   
   
   
  Sociogenomics brings together advances in molecular genetics and traditional social and behavioral science. The key tool is the polygenic index, which allows us to analyze DNA to measure a child's genetic potential. Today, we can estimate a child's adult height, how far they will go in school, and their weight as an adult—all from a cheek swab, finger prick, or vial of saliva. Dalton Conley and other researchers are using this new science to shed light on the ways in which genes shape our world, influencing how each person both creates and responds to the environment around them. Conley reveals a world where children's DNA influences the nurture they extract from their parents; the genes of our schoolmates affect our likelihood of smoking as much as our own DNA does; and spouses' genes influence each other's moods and behaviors. 
   
   
   
  The Social Genome presents a nuanced, powerful perspective on individual potential and social dynamics and raises critical ethical questions about how we will navigate a future where we have access to far more genetic information than ever before.

  AI for the Rest of Us - How to...

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. The subtitle of this book promises 10 hours a week, and it is a promise you can actually test. You do not need a technical background, and you do not need to learn to code. You need a small set of habits, workflows, and honest expectations, and that set is exactly what this book teaches. The tools have read an enormous amount of text and learned how language fits together, which makes them brilliant drafting assistants and unreliable fact machines. The skill is learning to use them the way you would use a capable assistant: ask clearly, check the important parts, and keep the judgment for yourself. 
   
  The book covers the 5 part prompt method that works across every tool, writing that sounds like you instead of like a machine, research in a fraction of the time, the inbox and calendar, content without the blank page, the data you have been avoiding, learning anything faster, planning that actually happens, and the privacy, trust, and error catching rules that keep you safe. 
   
  Every chapter is built around real workflows and real prompts rather than screenshots and hype. The tools will change, and the skills will not, because asking for what you want in specific language and checking what you receive transfers to every tool that ever appears. If you have ever tried a chatbot, received a mediocre answer, and concluded the technology is overhyped, this book will show you what happened. You gave it a vague order. The 10 hours are waiting, and the first prompt is one conversation away.
