My guest today is Sophia Roosth, a Harvard professor that Covel first heard quoted on DNA privacy from Davos. Roosth’s research focuses on the twentieth and twenty-first century life sciences. Her first book, based on four years of ethnographic fieldwork, examines how the life sciences are changing at a moment when researchers build new biological systems in order to investigate how biology works. In this work, Roosth asks what happens to “life” as a conceptual category when experimentation and fabrication converge.
The topic is science.
In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:
Davos event What becomes of privacy in a moment of internet surveillance Having more information out there as a way to control privacy Biological privacy, and whether our DNA is going down a path where it’s a lot more public Discrimination based on genome Genetic McCarthyism Somatic transfer and cloning The story of Chance the bull The idea of de-extinction The ethics of cloning Molecular gastronomy and world hungerJump in!
