Summary:
In this hour, if were going to talk about invention in the US we need to talk with Nathan Myrhvold. He was Microsofts first Chief Technology Officer. He holds 17 patents with Microsoft and 117 with his company Intellectual Ventures. But hes not just a billionaire tech-nerd. Hes also explored the worlds volcanoes. Studied penguin digestion. Found several T Rexes. Built a section of Babbages Difference Engine. Hes even the World Barbecue Grand Champion. Anne Strainchamps caught up with Myhrvold to talk about inventing and his six-volume, 2400-page, 52 pound cookbook called Modernist Cuisine.
Next, why has America stopped inventing? Thats the provocative title of a book by Darin Gibby. Gibbys a patent lawyer and points out that Americans invent less than half of what we did a century ago. Half. Why? Are we less creative then we were 100 years ago? Gibby says the problem lies in one place and one place only The US Patent system. He tells Anne Strainchamps the current system has got to go.
Then, in a recent interview with Wired magazine Bill Gates said that if he were a teenager today, he would not be into computing, hed be hacking biology. He said, If you want to change the world in some big way, thats where you start biological molecules. Hacking biology, huh? Well, its not science fiction anymore. Welcome to the 21st Centrury and the Biopunk Movement where biohacking and kitchen table biotech are the norm. Steve Paulson sat down with journalist Marcus Wohlsen, author of Biopunk, to find out more about these DIY bioengineers. Like, is this legal?
After that, don't ask Anna Dietrich if she invented a car that can fly. No one can do that she says. She did, however, invent a plane that can drive. Its called the Transition. This car/plane or plane/car, whatever you call it, was dreamed up over beers with a bunch of fellow MIT students. The Transitions recent introduction at the 2012 New York International Auto show was the talk of the town. Did Anna Dietrich have a moment where she just sat back and said, Wow, I invented that.
Finally, Robert Glasper is a Grammy nominated jazz pianist. Hes also the musical director for the rappers Q-Tip and Mos Def. And hes the pianist for R&B singer Malwell. In his own work, he brings all those genres together into a new form Im not sure what you call it. Glasper calls him new album Black Radio. He tells Steve Paulson its a reference to the black box of recordings that survives a plane crash. [Broadcast Date: May 16, 2012]
