Everyone knows there's a strong link between sci-fi and technology. But science fiction movies can also provide powerful insights into how to innovation ethically and responsibly. This week's video draws on author, scientist and Risk Bites producer Andrew Maynard's book "Films from the Future: The
Hear how a research assistant got her start in biotechnology — Sandra fell in love with science during her certificate program in Boston, Massachusetts. The video details not only Sandra's cutting-edge research work — using nanotechnology, rather than needles, to deliver vaccines — but also the qual
How do we ensure that facial recognition technology is developed responsibly and ethically? Risk Bites dives into the rather serious risks and ethical problems presented by face recognition. Because this such an important issue, we can only scratch the surface in 4 minutes – so please do check out
