Flash Forward is a show about possible (and not so possible) future scenarios. What would the warranty on a sex robot look like? How would diplomacy work if we couldn’t lie? Could there ever be a fecal transplant black market? (Complicated, it wouldn’t, and yes, respectively, in case you’re curious.) Hosted and produced by award winning science journalist Rose Eveleth, each episode combines audio drama and journalism to go deep on potential tomorrows, and uncovers what those futures might re ...

DNA science. Artificial intelligence. Smartphones and 3D printers. Science and technology have transformed the world we live in. But how did we get here? It wasn’t by accident. Well, sometimes it was. It was also the result of hard work, teamwork, and competition. And incredibly surprising moments. Hosted by bestselling author Steven Johnson (“How We Got To Now”), American Innovations uses immersive scenes to tell the stories of the scientists, engineers, and ordinary people behind the great ...

We humans could have a bright future ahead of us that lasts billions of years. But we have to survive the next 200 years first. Join Josh Clark of Stuff You Should Know for a 10-episode deep dive that explores the future of humanity and finds dangers we have never encountered before lurking just ahead. And if we humans are alone in the universe, if we don't survive intelligent life dies out with us too.

Episode 4 - Crash Bang
In this episode we discuss a recent paper on acute injuries in mountain bikers published in the Journal of Sports Science and Medicine. Injuries are always present in mountain biking so this paper tries to provide a bit more detail comparing amateur and elite riders.
Appropriately also included is an interview with Dr Michale Bottlang the inventor of the Bontrager Wavecell helmet. The revolutionary helmet design which is designed to reduce the rotational forces potentially experienced by cyclists in a fall.
The interview gives a great insight to the science behind the development and testing of the wavecell helmet. If you are interested in a more visual representation of the benefit of this technology then this video (https://youtu.be/iilGcMeKkuc) using an egg as a representation of your brain gives a very clear image of the improvement that wavecell can make.
In our news section we talk about:
- the recent press that eBike users are just as active a normal bike users
- brief discussion on a new paper looking at the long term of high dosage of vitamin D
- the recent revelations from Jani Brajkovic about the prevalence of eating disorders in the pro peleton
- the true story of the cyclist with the highest-ever VO2max
Remember if you have a burning question that you would like us to answer in our podcast then please do get in touch via our website www.cycling-science.com.
