The DTA Science podcast
Let’s pull on
that thread.
Candid conversations with practitioners in science, technology and business.
What are they working on? Why does it matter? And what does it take to put new ideas into practice?
Technical enough to dig in. Informal enough to follow a good tangent. For curious scientists and practitioners figuring out what’s next; for the field and for themselves.
Presented by Galang AI.
