Big Picture Science for Mar. 23, 2026: Fantastic-er Voyage
REPEAT
Thinking small can sometimes achieve big things. A new generation of diminutive robots can enter our bodies and deal with medical problems such as intestinal blockages. But do we really want them swimming inside us, even if they’re promising to help? You might change your mind when you hear what else is cruising through our bloodstream: microplastics!

Guests:
* Ira Rutkow – Surgeon and writer, and author of “Empire of the Scalpel: The History of Surgery”
* Dick Vethaak – Emeritus professor of ecotoxicology, water quality and health at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (Free University, Amsterdam) in The Netherlands
* Li Zhang – Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Automation Engineering, The Chinese University of Hong Kong
* Michael LaBarbera – Professor in organismal biology, anatomy and geophysical sciences, University of Chicago

This piece is not about aliens, but about how we collectively did things greater than ourselves. And how we are dismantling the very infrastructure that made it possible.
Thursday 26 March, 1pm Pacific / 8pm UK.
Bill Diamond is the CEO of the SETI Institute and was dubbed the "Chief Alien Hunter" by The Telegraph. He leads one of the world's most extraordinary scientific missions, and he will be joining SK Live to talk about "The Signatures of Life and Intelligence and the Impact of First Contact."
This is your chance to ask him anything.

Like the lead character of “Project Hail Mary,” some scientists are proposing ways that life might exist beyond a star’s “habitable zone,” often considered the gold standard of potential livability
