Summary

Medicine is changing everyday. We're all seeing this unfold right now. In front of our eyes. Some of the changes seems unreal. So I called up the expert of genetic engineering, Jamie Metlz to tell us what’s a reality and what’s science fiction. I wanted to learn what immunities we can develop? How is the current pandemic reshaping the future of medicine? And beyond that we talk about our global responsibility to reshape society. A lot of people are going to lose their jobs. And a lot of people already have. So how do you find your way in this new world? What can we do to land on our feet when the dust settles? I asked Jamie because he wasn't always a tech futurist or genomics expert. He started out as a writer. And switched careers because interest led him there. We have the opportunity to chase our interests now in a new way. Also, I’ve been getting great feedback on how these episodes around the coronavirus are helping people make sense in a really confusing time. So thanks for your support.

0:21.5	we can gives us purpose in our lives.
0:24.6	I mean, Judaism has a concept called Tikkun Alam.

0:32.4	to do their bit to repair it.
0:36.1	And so those of us like you and like me who are blessed with the level of opportunity
0:41.6	of education, I think we just have a sacred responsibility.
0:46.0	It's my belief and I've lived my life this way that individuals can really make a difference
0:51.7	and that everybody has responsibility to try to make a difference to the best of their
0:56.4	capacity with the resources there.
0:58.0	And I agree with you, I just wondering like do you make a difference in society which
1:03.5	may be setting yourself up for a task that's impossible or do you make a difference in
1:09.4	yourself and nobody's perfect but you try as best as possible to live by example and

1:20.0	We're all weak constituting now.
1:21.6	We're reconciting these virtual societies from home.
