PODCAST: Worldbuilding pilot

from Scienceline Hosted by Scienceline

Finding the science hidden in fantasy novels Produced by Dyani Sabin Despite the magical trappings of fantasy, a well-designed world holds at least a smidgen of reality. In order to get at the science that underlies resurrection in Nnedi Okorafor's futuristic fantasy "The Book of Phoenix," this podcast talks to Ramin Rahni, a pHD candidate studying plant regeneration at New York University's Birnbaum Laboratory. This podcast pilot is currently stand-alone. While resurrection is still a fantasy, many of the ideas explored in fantasy worlds are quite scientific. [Image Credit: Mysticartdesign, CC0]
