On a new episode of ID the Future, engineer, lawyer, and computer expert Eric Anderson continues his discussion with host and science historian Mike Keas on what it means that there’s information in DNA, and how this distinguishes it from most other physical objects, such as ice crystals or the rings around Saturn.
