from The Curiosity Desk · host GBH News
On Saturday, a meteor crashed into the ocean off the coast of Cape Cod. Sky & Telescope senior editor Kelly Beatty joins to explain what we know (and don’t) about what exactly happened, how rare this is, and other pressing meteor questions. Then: Whoop has become a darling in the landscape of Boston tech startups, with a pre-IPO valuation of over 10 billion. How rare is their story, and how does a tech startup make it to the big-leagues? We’ll talk with Boston Globe tech business reporter Aaron Pressman, and Jeffrey Bussgang from Harvard Business School. And we end by exploring the so-called “gamification" of sleep, with apps that track & measure health data. Are these apps & tools making us any healthier? Edgar talks with Tony Cunningham, who directs the Center for Sleep and Cognition at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.
