In this month's lecture we cover the basics of synthetic biology and possible future applications of advances in this rapidly emerging field.

In this month's talk, I discuss a concept knows as the singularity and examine how the progression of technologies may impact our world in the future.

In this month's mini-lecture, I discuss work being done with brain-computer interfaces and challenges this technology may face in the future.

In this month's mini-lecture, I discuss the emergence of facial recognition software and how this may affect us in the future.

In this month's mini-lecture, I discuss the oft-controversial subject of cryonics while touching on legal, bioethical and sustainability considerations that should be examined when exploring the viability of suspended animation.

In this month's mini-lecture, I discuss ways that the science of brain imaging can help us to better understand the human brain as well as ethical applications of this rapidly expanding technique in the future.

In this month's mini-lecture, we discuss the continued growth of cognitive neuroscience. The discussion covers a bit of history, current research, and possible applications that may result from an increased understanding of the brain in the future.

In this lecture, we examine the rapidly emerging field of asteroid mining. The discussion covers current efforts by NASA as well as the private sector and ways that materials mined may benefit us now and in the future.

In this lecture, we examine the fundamental science of nanotechnology, past and current research efforts, and how this emerging field could impact our lives in the future.

In this lecture, we examine the idea of artificial life, past and current research efforts, and the potential impact artificial sentient 'beings' may have on our world in the future.
