What can only be described as a tumultuous week has passed us by and this week Nick, Lungelo and myself gather to chat about the news of the week.
First up I chat about malware being stored on DNA and why scientists even decided to do that.
Then we break off of our beat a bit and chat about the events in Charlottesville and a documentary that VICE uploaded at the weekend. We’ve included a link to the doccie below (which you can watch on YouTube) but be advised that the content and language may upset sensitive viewers.
Then Lungelo takes a look at how men and women differ when it comes to data consumption which unravels into a conversation about data and being glad that we grew up before the rise of social media.
That’s it for this week, see you in seven days.
