Biology Life

32 of 147 long-form episodes

Life is chemistry that learned to keep itself going, and these episodes trace how that trick is performed. Cells, nerves, immune systems, ancient organisms that refuse to die - each one is a mechanism doing something quietly extraordinary while you think about none of it. There is a particular comfort in hearing your own body explained from the outside: the heart, the gut, the slow repair work that happens while you sleep.
