For technologist and National Geographic Explorer Albert Lin, human technology is personal. He describes the moment when his leg was crushed under a vehicle two years ago as both his death and his rebirth. Now partially bionic, he endeavors to make prosthetics more accessible to the 40 million amputees in the world.
