There’s a new sheriff in town. Can Roshan Kanesan bring the outlaw Matt Armitage to heel? It’s unlikely when you consider that the first topic today is Wetware, where brains on chips learn to play the classic game Doom and biocomputing enters the cloud. 

Matt also outlines plans to fell millions of hectares of the Arctic’s boreal forest and sink them in the ocean in the name of saving the planet. And the weird lessons we can learn from fungus eating ants and rocks about carbon sequestration. 

All of this as cover, just to make batteries sound exciting.
