Podcast: Should We Make Viruses More Dangerous – For Science? Kicking off Entanglements Season 2, our hosts talk to a microbiologist and a virologist about gain-of-function research.

The Entanglements podcast @undark.org is back for season 2! Up first, @annarothschild.bsky.social digs into gain-of-function research. What a delight to be working together again on this project: undark.org/2025/08/20/p...

Congrats, Esther! A well-deserved prize for a very thoughtful piece

As Adults Age With MS, Should They Shed Their Meds? The risks and benefits of immunosuppressive drugs for multiple sclerosis shift with age, but who should quit — and when?

Over the past few years, my work has orbited one central question: What does it mean to live at the cutting edge of science, experiencing a disease researchers don't fully understand? This story, my latest for Undark, probably comes closest to describing what that's like: undark.org/2025/03/03/m...

Geoengineering Could Alter Global Climate. Should It? Scientists and companies increasingly support blocking some sunlight to avoid the worst impacts of global warming.

“But now that human-caused climate change has accelerated, and with devastating effects already underway around the world, what previously appeared to be a risky Hail Mary technofix has gained respectability.”@raminskibba.bsky.social @undark.org #longreads

Podcast: Will Artificial Intelligence Kill Us All? This week on Entanglements, our hosts talk to a former OpenAI employee and a Princeton professor about AI and doom.

Each episode, we bring on folks with different views on a heated topic and try to get them to talk. What gets lost in these debates and is there a way to talk about them more directly? Are there any points of agreement?

So far we've asked: Will AI Kill Us All?

Tired of the widespread discord? Looking for something to listen to over the long holiday weekend? May I suggest @undark.org's new podcast Entanglements, where @annarothschild.bsky.social and I try to cut through the rancor in various thorny scientific debates...?

Ok, so this is where ya'll have been hanging out???!

From a Grassroots Survey to Long Covid Treatment Trials A pharmacist polled patients on their dozens of medications and supplements. Could these efforts help fight long Covid?

Amid sluggish NIH #LongCovid efforts, could
this bottom-up approach yield treatment answers faster?
