    The Truth About mRNA in our Food

    We explore the emerging application of mRNA technology beyond human vaccines, specifically its potential use in livestock and agricultural crops. We highlight concerns regarding the novelty and incomplete understanding of mRNA technology, citing documented adverse events from its use in humans while we argue that widespread application in the food chain represents a significant, untested public health gamble.

    Transplanted Identity: Exploring the Science of Cellular Memory in Organ Recipients

    When organ recipients begin craving unfamiliar foods, adopt new hobbies, or even recall strange memories—what’s going on? In this mind-bending episode of Science4Fun Academy, Alex and Sam dive into the controversial yet compelling world of cellular memory. Backed by real stories, cutting-edge epigenetic and RNA research, and ethical analysis, this conversation explores whether organs can carry more than just biological function—perhaps even pieces of a person’s identity.
