Welcome to a special episode of the Bionic Bug Podcast. You’re listening to a special episode LIVE on YouTube. I’m Natasha Bajema, your host, fiction author, futurist, and national security expert.

For those of you who haven’t listened to my show before, today’s episode is a bit of a departure from the usual program. Every week, I discuss technology news headlines that caught my attention. Then I’ll read a chapter from my book, a mystery novel set ten years into the future titled Bionic Bug. I conclude each episode with behind-the-scenes technical information.

Today, I’m here with a special guest and biohacker, Dr. Josiah Zayner CEO and Founder of The Odin, a startup company aiming to make science and genetic engineering accessible and affordable.

You can read more about The Odin on its website and Dr. Zayner on his blog. You can meet him in person at Biohack the Planet, which takes place from August 31 to September 1 in Oakland, California. Get your tickets here.
