In HBO's hit show The Last of Us, we saw a mutant strain of zombifying fungus called cordyceps infect humans.

When someone mentions "the pill," we know exactly what they're referring to.
That's a testament to the impact the oral contraceptive has had since its invention — but its origins are nested in the politics of inequity. cbc.ca/radio/spark/bi…
This time in our series, The Butterfly Effect, we look at the complicated, and controversial, history and long reach of the birth control pill: its impacts on sex, reproduction, and culture.

"On the one hand, we do treat it like a tool that we can offload labour [onto]. But on the other hand, because of this ontological ambiguity, we also kind of treat it like an autonomous agent," said @JJFPhD, a philosophy instructor at @douglascollege. cbc.ca/radio/spark/bo…

Tech is changing the way we collect health data. What does the explosion of virtual healthcare services mean for patient data privacy?
And what role will data-driven AI play in the future of medicine?

"The biases that we see in machine learning systems are the biases that exist out in the real world," says data scientist @merbroussard.
Broussard's new book, More Than a Glitch, explores the biases of data-driven tech and the real harms they can inflict.

DWeb, which started as a project from the Internet Archive, aims to decentralize the ownership and control over networks, combining the community aspect of the '90s online experience with today's equity and accessibility principles, says organizer. cbc.ca/radio/spark/de…
Navigation technology has come a long way since the invention of the compass. And while outdoor wayfinding has been the focus of much research and innovation in this space, indoor positioning and navigation technology has also come a long way. cbc.ca/radio/spark/sm…
In the 6th episode of our special series, The Butterfly Effect, we look at the lasting influence of the compass, and the evolution and future of navigation technology.

While networked, smart homes offer newfound convenience in some respects, privacy is still a chief issue.
"I would like to see governments focus on privacy to the extent that they have focused on cybersecurity," said tech journalist Stacey Higginbotham.

New developments in Internet of Things technology promise sustainable networked homes and buildings that are easy and practical, but can we have them without sacrificing privacy?
