This is a special episode of the podcast featuring the second half of our own Barbenheimer, a phenomenon you may remember from the summer of 2023 when both Greta Gerwig’s Barbie movie and Christopher Nolan’s Oppenhiemer were in theaters.

Both of these movies highlight themes relevant to our consideration of bioethics, and so, with Oscar season upon us, we are featuring pieces by CBHD staff members exploring the nexus of film and bioethics.

In this episode, CBHD Research Analyst Heather Zeiger presents a piece titled “The Manhattan Project and the Seduction of Technology.”
