Hello and welcome to Episode 2.5! This is a short topic discussion about a few random subjects. In episode 1, we talked about how social media should give us more substance and less shite. This episode is dedicated to a few topics gleaned from social media and how they impact our lives. We discuss the Stuxnet computer virus and its role in toppling Iran's nuclear program. We move on to a recently discovered galaxy that is 13 billion light years in our 14.5 billion year old galaxy. Then we touch on treatment for cancer that involves reprogramming HIV. Then we finish with a super bug infection that is resistant to the antibiotic of last resort. Thank you for listening to episode 2.5!
