Anda siap untuk menjelajahi salah satu penemuan paling transformatif dalam ilmu pengetahuan modern. Selama bertahun-tahun, kita percaya bahwa otak adalah organ yang tidak dapat berubah, yang dibentuk secara permanen di masa kanak-kanak. Pemahaman ini telah terbukti keliru. Penemuan tentang neuroplastisitas, atau "otak plastis," telah membuka wawasan baru yang menakjubkan tentang potensi manusia. Bayangkan jika Anda bisa memprogram ulang otak Anda sendiri. Jika Anda bisa menyembuhkan trauma, memulihkan fungsi yang hilang, dan bahkan mengubah pola emosi yang telah mengakar. Ini bukan fiksi ilmiah. Ini adalah kenyataan yang kini sedang dipelajari oleh para ilmuwan di seluruh dunia. Konsep ini mengajarkan kita bahwa pikiran bukanlah sekadar produk dari otak, melainkan juga sebuah kekuatan kausal yang mampu membentuk dan membentuknya kembali. Bergabunglah bersama kami untuk sebuah perjalanan yang akan mengubah cara Anda memandang otak, diri Anda sendiri, dan potensi luar biasa yang tersembunyi di dalamnya.

Today's rubbish may well be the fossils of tomorrow. Plastic bags, old pens, cheap clothing, or even chicken bones are all examples of possible “technofossils”, rapidly accumulating debris and detritus that may come to represent the story of humanity in the geological record long after we're gone. But it doesn't have to be this way. Host Dr Russell Moul speaks to Professors Sarah Gabbott and Jan Zalasiewicz of the University of Leicester, authors of Discarded: How Technofossils Will be Our Ultimate Legacy, about the fascinating processes involved in turning our trash into fossils, but also how interest in these processes may help us change them.

This week as the negotiations for a Global Plastic Treaty fail in Geneva, Switzerland over a cap on plastic production, we look at the undue influence of the fossil fuel and plastic industries. False solutions to the climate crisis, and now the plastic pollution crisis, are part of an industry playbook to misinform the public and deflect from actual solutions. In the case of plastics, it's promoting plastic recycling that doesn't actually work. In our latest, we talk with researchers Davis Allen and Rebecca John to discuss industry strategies to undermine any progress on curbing plastic pollution. Bios//Rebecca John is a Research Fellow at the Climate Investigations Center. She is also a freelance journalist and award-winning documentary film maker. As a Producer and Director of the acclaimed “Extreme Oil” / “Curse of Oil” series for PBS /BBC her work was awarded a Cine Golden Eagle for News Analysis.

It's rare that we contemplate where all the plastic we throw out goes, but rest assured that nearly none of it is being recycled. Simply put, it's usually cheaper to make new plastic than to recycle old plastic, even the plastic you put in the recycling bin. Because it takes plastic centuries to break down, this means for each one of us you could build a mountain of plastic from all the packaging we use over the course of our lives.  But what if plastic didn't have to take centuries to break down, and could actually biodegrade in a matter of days or weeks?  That's exactly the vision Luna Yu is bringing to life as founder and CEO of Genecis Bioindustries, a biotech company using fermentation to transform food waste into high-performance, truly compostable bioplastics. In this episode, Luna joins us—at 1 a.m. her time from a manufacturing run in China—to share the story behind Genecis, from her early days as a teenage entrepreneur in Canada to raising $17 million for her startup in the climate tech world. Luna walks us through how Genecis engineers microbes to turn low-cost industrial waste streams like glycerol into PHA, a biodegradable plastic alternative that's already being used in consumer products like Mad Tea and Mad Coffee. We discuss why Genecis is taking a direct-to-consumer approach, how they're preparing to launch in Sprouts nationwide, and what it will take to make sustainable plastics cost-competitive with petroleum-based ones. We also dive into Luna's big bets on the future—including cell-free biology, the promise of enzyme-only production systems, and her vision for a world where the most convenient option is also the most sustainable. If you're curious about the intersection of synthetic biology, circular economy, and product design—or you just want to hear from someone reshaping the future of plastic—this episode is for you. Discussed in this episode You can learn more about Genecis' technology by reading their patents and patent applications here. Luna is very inspired by Isomorphic Labs. Genecis is backed by Amazon and is a graduate of the Y Combinator accelerator. CJ Biomaterials manufactures PHA via fermentation.  Plastic has only been around since the 1950s but we believe it lasts for centuries. How do we know? Researchers simulate environmental exposure in labs by increasing UV radiation, temperature, moisture, and mechanical stress to accelerate plastic breakdown. They analyze how the polymer chains degrade and extrapolate those results to estimate natural-world decay timelines. Get to Know Luna Yu Luna Yu is the CEO of Genecis Bioindustries. She completed her Bachelors and Masters in Environmental Science at the age of 21 at the University of Toronto. During her Undergrad, Luna co-founded, grew and exited from two profitable software startups. The exciting advancements in fields of synthetic biology, bioinformatics, and machine learning led her to infuse her passion and experience together. This created Genecis, where biotechnology enables the conversion of food waste into high value materials.

Plastic pollution in the ocean is no longer just an environmental issue—it's a public health crisis and an economic threat. In this episode, I break down the latest updates from the UN negotiations on a global plastics treaty, explaining why the talks in Geneva this month could set the course for the next generation's relationship with plastic. From production caps to industry lobbying, the fight over how to address the problem is as intense as ever. Plastic pollution in the ocean also raises questions about equity, with developing nations calling for solutions that protect both the environment and their right to grow sustainably. I share shocking new research on how microplastics are showing up in human bodies, costing trillions in healthcare, and why activists believe this treaty is our once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to act.

The “credit card stacking” method for increasing limits, extending 0% interest periods, and consolidating cards. Why using an LLC and an EIN keeps business debt off your personal credit report. The minimum credit score and profile needed to qualify—and how Fund & Grow's pre-qualification tool works. How to leverage business credit cards for down payments, closing costs, rehabs, marketing, payroll, and more. Why 0% introductory APR cards (6–22 months) can be a game-changer for short-term real estate projects. The role of third-party services like Plastic for paying vendors or escrow with credit cards. Asset protection benefits—how business credit cards can help resolve contractor disputes with chargebacks. Membership vs. pay-as-you-go pricing, and why Ron recommends the $3,500 annual membership over the 8% fee model.

Margot Robbie brought Barbie to life with the 2023 Barbie movie. It was successfully “femvertised” to women and girls across generations. And not only did they go see the movie, but they made sure that they were seen being a part of Barbie's world. They bought a lot of pink, fast fashion pieces to wear to the theatre and film content with and then, they threw it away. But the problem is that a lot of that fast fashion is plastic. Alexandra Villela says that plastic is forever and the landfill tells the story of that Barbie summer. Plus: Advertising firms are starting to use generative AI to make graphics faster and cheaper. Consumers may soon find themselves wondering what's even real. But one thing's for sure: Meg Michelsen says that consumers want the humans in advertisements to be real. Everything else can be fake. Later in the show: Apple products are the norm now. I have more than I care to admit. And it all began for me in middle school with a G3 iBook. But they were once a counterculture product. Ted Gournelos says that one of the ways that Apple created value for itself was by donating tens of thousands of laptops to public schools in the early 2000s. This created a generation of loyal Apple customers, and parents who had to pay attention to the products their children were begging for.

Plastic packaging is everywhere—from grocery store shelves to e-commerce deliveries—and it's one of the largest contributors to global plastic waste. In this episode of People, Places, Planet, host Dara Albrecht is joined by Caroline DeLoach (Atlantic Packaging), Daniel Zlatnik (CalRecycle), and Dacie Meng (Ellen MacArthur Foundation). Together, they unpack the complexities of the packaging market, the developments reshaping it, and the promise of a circular economy.The conversation explores the environmental, social, and health impacts of the way packaging is produced, used, and disposed of, the role of extended producer responsibility (EPR) laws in shifting costs and incentives upstream, and innovations—from AI-powered recycling to closed-loop reuse systems. The discussion also takes a deep dive into California's landmark SB 54, examining how its ambitious goals could influence policy nationwide. With perspectives spanning policy, law, and industry, the episode offers an in-depth look at how international treaties, state-level regulations, and private-sector action are converging to address the plastic waste crisis and make packaging more sustainable.Current State of Plastic Production and Waste (01:32)Towards a Circular Economy (13:07)International Efforts to Address Plastic Waste (17:14)Innovations and the Role of the Private Sector (21:17)Consumer Choices and Sustainable Packaging (35:19)Introduction to EPR (37:36)California's EPR Law and Its Features (48:04)Closing Thoughts (01:01:47)This episode was recorded on June 20, 2025, prior to the start of INC-5.2, which is currently underway.
