MSP315. Weird Science: Inflammaging And Wolly Mammoth Mice

This week Rich and Matt take a wild ride through the digestive tract of tech as they examine the growing anti-science stance of some of the world’s leading tech visionaries. 

Sticking with those gut feelings, they also look at the emerging role that gut flora seem to play in the ageing process. And accuse it of being, at best, a frenemy.

And in case you want something fluffy, they round off with the woolly mammoth mouse, a shaggy, golden-haired mouse that might be the first step in the de-extinction of that Ice Age favourite the woolly mammoth.
