Summary

Science News Staff Writer Kelly Servick discusses how physicians have sifted through torrents of scientific results to arrive at treatments for SARS-CoV-2. Sarah also talks with Wesley Reinhart of Pennsylvania State University’s Department of Materials Science and Engineering and Institute for Computational and Data Science, about why we should be building smart cities from smart materials, such as metamaterials that help solar panels chase the Sun, and living materials like self-healing concrete that keep buildings in good shape. This week’s episode was produced with help from Podigy.

0:13.9	It's consistently among the top recipients of NIH funding.
0:18.0	Researchers at Icon Mount Sinai have made breakthrough discoveries in many fields vital
0:22.8	to advancing the health of patients, including cancer, COVID and long COVID, cardiology,
0:29.3	neuroscience, and artificial intelligence. The Icon School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, we find a way.
0:36.7	Do we really need another computer? One that's faster,
0:39.9	more powerful. Not everyone does. But to reinvent music using a neural processor, work off the grid
0:45.4	with all-day battery, or bring your vision to life with AI-powered co-creator, then a copilot plus PC
0:50.8	can make a difference. A powerful AI computer is not for everyone. But if you're

1:23.5	staff writer Kelly Servic joins me to discuss the evolution of COVID care, how doctors
1:29.2	treat patients has changed in the year of the pandemic, but how much of the change is based on data.
1:35.4	Then I talk with researcher Wesley Reinhart about using smart materials like self-healing cement
1:41.3	and meta-materials that can do math to build smart cities.
1:50.4	As we finish out a year of coronavirus pandemic, this week, three newswriters writing and science
1:57.0	tackled what we've learned about treating the infection. Staff writer Kelly
2:01.1	Servic is here to talk about it. Hi, Kelly. Hi. Well, I appreciate you taking time to talk about
2:06.1	this with me as a pretty complicated story. My big question when I went in was how in the world
