Why Can't We Live Forever?
The first series was hosted by the wonderful William Verity and UOW Journalism student Hannah Laxton-Koonce.
Why can't we live together? Or maybe we can. We discuss the reality of 3D printing bones, tissues and maybe entire organs in humanity’s quest to beat disease and death.

This wonderful podcast series was the brainchild of Grant Reynolds of the Media Unit at the University of Wollongong. Grant also shares his reflections on why he began the series at the end of the final podcast of the first series titled: "Can you tell me why? Surprising Answers to Difficult Questions." As Grant himself notes, it is important to reach out to the wider community to demonstrate why academia is still important, that citizens should consider University entry a potential pathway, and to consider what researchers might add to a particular topic.
