Episode Synopsis

Scientists are hacking multi-cellularity. Translation: Cells from your cheek could be turned into stem cells, and then re-grown them into some other body part, like a lung or tonsil. They can also change them into parts that are nearly you. Join the Overground as they are curiously repulsed by organoids: The synthetic step between cells, organs and a newer, healthier you.  Featured Technology: Links coming soon. Hosts: Charlie Litton (@charlielitton); Tyler Scherr (@dare2scherr); Joe Runge (@EntreprenurialW) Sponsor:  UNeMed (https://www.unemed.com); @UNeMed Music: Countdown to Myocardial Infarction, by Peter Gresser.
