Biotech isn’t a vertical. It’s a foundation.
And according to Dr. Tiffany Vora, it will be as revolutionary in the next decade as artificial intelligence is today.
In this episode of Possible Futures, Tiffany joins host Gary Bolles to explore how biology is becoming programmable, why we need to shift our thinking from lifespan to healthspan, and what it means to thrive in ecosystems we design — on Earth or off it.
Together, they dive into:
CRISPR, RNA therapies, and gene editing breakthroughs
Why aging may actually be a treatable disease
How space exploration helps us solve Earth’s biggest problems
The moral, political, and emotional stakes of biotech access
What a 120-year life might look and feel like
Tiffany’s work spans cancer research, computational biology, biotech startups, and space innovation — and in this conversation, she brings clarity to the science and urgency to the questions. Whether you're a policymaker, parent, or just biotech-curious, this episode will change how you think about the future of life.

Website: http://su.orgIn this episode of Possible Futures, host Gary Bolles sits down with writer, researcher, and Singularity University expert Aaron Frank to explore a provocative question: What happens when our digital and physical realities blur—and which one will feel more real?
From a childhood question about humanity’s technological acceleration to leading conversations on the future of spatial computing, Aaron takes us through the promises and pitfalls of immersive tech, virtual worlds, and digital twins. Together, they unpack:
Why spatial computing is about more than just VR headsets
What digital twins and 3D simulations mean for cities, training, and global sustainability
The real-world impact of immersive learning—from Walmart to the NFL
The dangers of data surveillance, hyper-commercialization, and forgetting our biological selves
A surprisingly human vision of 2030—centered on connection, nature, and... ice hockey?
Whether you’re a technologist, a skeptic, or simply future-curious, this conversation will leave you questioning what’s real, what’s next, and what kind of world we actually want to build.
