AI-generated audio overview of this week's newsletter, with two virtual hosts.

This week's issue runs from a budget-hotel waffle buffet on Route 1 to the edge of the galaxy: organ-specific biological aging clocks read from a single tube of blood, the first kidney and liver tissue bioprinted aboard the ISS, and a raspberry sugar (erythrulose) detected near the Milky Way's core. Plus an eleven-point takedown of the "turbo cancer" claim, a review of AI in archaeology, and a new random kidney fact on why your aching back almost never means your kidneys.

This is an AI-generated audio overview produced with Google NotebookLM. The two "hosts" are synthetic; treat their framing as a summary of the newsletter, not an independent source.
