Episode 14: Robolibrarians, medical marijuana for pets, dwindling Antarctica, and +200 new species

Summary: This episode, Ketan Joshi from our Data61 team joins Interronauts to talk about the future, specifically, the future of AI and autonomous cars, and all things robo-librarians, not to mention a recent study on Antarctica set 50 years in the future, which takes a retrospective at two courses of action we humans might take to slow the gradual degradation of that lovely white continent, and, following that, a chat about the >200 new species we've discovered and named in the last year-more than one species every second day, sheesh. And, this episode, we have an interview with our Dr Ben Muir, manager of the Rapid Automated Materials & Processing centre, who's been working with pet pharmaceutical group CannPal on developing a microencapsulation technology for precis medical marijuana delivery.
