In our latest piece of bonus content, writer Adrián Duston-Muñoz interviews science & technology journalist Jesse Hicks about the early days of chemistry, modern ideas of intellectual property, and the morality behind the things we put in our bodies. Jesse Hicks is a long-time writer and editor who typically focuses on science, healthy, technology, and politics, having published in Vice, Men's Health, Harper's, Politico, The New Republic, and other venues, both online and print. He served as one of the first features editors following the launch of The Verge, and I edited The Kernel after it became the "Sunday magazine" (a showcase for long-form feature writing about internet culture) of The Daily Dot. He's reviewed comics, movies, and books for PopMatters, covered the Guantanamo Bay 9/11 trial from Fort Meade for Vice, reported on the Chelsea Manning trial for The Verge, and written features on outsider technology artist Mark Pauline and on Terry Davis, the schizophrenic computer programmer who built an operating system to talk to god.
