Episode 349 - "That Sounds Heavy" Tech Replacement

It's hard to decide when it is finally time to let go. When do you recycle that old tech and replace it? It may still work, but is it the thing holding you back, or do you just want something new and don't really need it? This week Shannon and John grappled with this exact question and talked each other into and out of some potential technology purchases
Fun Paper Friday
Everyone knows that physics can solve any problem if you simplify it enough, but biologists are fed up! This week John Doyle tells us to be more like engineers and embrace complexity in our models.
