These are just a few of the big, bold questions we’ll be exploring in the new season of The Joy of Why .

这些只是我们将在新一季《为什么的喜悦》中探索的一些重大而大胆的问题。

Mathematician Steven Strogatz and physicist Janna Levin are back as your hosts for these and other conversations that explore the frontiers of basic science and mathematics.

数学家 Steven Strogatz 和物理学家 Janna Levin 再次担任主持人，主持这些对话以及其他探索基础科学和数学前沿的对话。

Each episode features an in-depth conversation in which Steven or Janna sits down with a leading scientist or mathematician to unpack one big idea or area of research.

每一集都有一次深入的对话，其中史蒂文或贾娜与一位领先的科学家或数学家坐下来解开一个重要的想法或研究领域。

The two hosts also chat together throughout each episode, sharing their own thoughts, reactions, and questions.

两位主持人还在每一集中一起聊天，分享自己的想法、反应和问题。

New episodes drop every other Thursday, kicking off on June 11 with biochemist and Nobel Laureate Jennifer Doudna , who helped revolutionize gene editing and biology as co-discoverer of the CRISPR-Cas9 system.

新剧集每隔周四推出一次，于 6 月 11 日由生物化学家、诺贝尔奖获得者 Jennifer Doudna 开播，她作为 CRISPR-Cas9 系统的共同发现者，帮助彻底改变了基因编辑和生物学。

The wide-ranging conversation explores the discovery and sudden rise of CRISPR as a tool that can modify genes in a highly precise manner, the successes and issues the work raised, and what comes next.

这次内容广泛的对话探讨了 CRISPR 作为一种可以以高度精确的方式修改基因的工具的发现和突然崛起、工作的成功和提出的问题以及下一步的发展。
