Philip Ball – How Life Works
Listen now
Description
Philip Ball returns to the How To Academy Podcast to share the extraordinary revelations of contemporary science and make us think again about what we think we know about how life works. Illuminating what we now know about structures as small as RNA and forces as vast as evolution, to show how both the minuscule and the massive have shaped the world we know. Probing ever-pertinent questions around individual agency, purpose, and whether we can deduce meaning from the cosmos itself, Philip invites us to ponder the wonder of life.
