~Plus Jake Reed on making modular and reconfigurable CNC machines~

In this episode, we speak with Will Langford, an engineer and researcher at the Center for Bits and Atoms. CBA – a part of MIT — is an interdisciplinary initiative exploring the boundary between computer science and physical science. The researchers at CBA study how to turn data into things and things into data. Recursion and abstraction are common themes. And even though all of this is a mouthful, there’s a more straightforward initiative behind all of their work. It’s one that we can all get behind: engineering a more universal set of tools and lowering the barrier of entry to making.
