Summary

 Language has always evolved but it seems like technology has sped that process up to a staggering degree. Memes, algorithms, AI, and social media are altering the words we use and the way we use them. To speak more about the phenomenon, host Dr. Samantha Yammine is joined by Adam Aleksic, an etymologist and author of the book Algospeak. Sam also explores a new search engine that’s being called the Google of DNA and how a fungus once thought to be an Egyptian curse, might just have cancer-fighting properties.     Link to Show Notes  HERE     Follow Curiosity Weekly on your favorite podcast app to get smarter with   Dr. Samantha Yammine  — for free!
