How does the idea of lab-culturing human meat intersect with cultural & religious norms? How does this scramble our neural primitives? These are the tough questions coming our way -- and you can hear them first on Inner Cosmos. #brain

Some wacky questions about the future of lab grown meat: will we someday eat a human burger, one that is simply grown from a few cells? What is the morality here, and will it change with the passage of generations?.#brain

Francis Crick, one of the greats of 20th century biology, died on this day in 2004. He was a mentor and friend in my postdoctoral years at the Salk Institute, and I feel infinitely lucky to have overlapped with him. "Remembering a trail blazer".

Would you eat a human burger? As we enter a world of lab-grown meat (taking a single muscle cell and letting it divide and divide), what are the strange consequences that are coming into view? Join this week's Inner Cosmos as I discuss the neuroscience of morality, disgust,
