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 ...

A group of students never returned from a trip to the Ural mountains in the winter of 1959 and were found dead later. This story is known as the Dyatlov Pass Incident. It has inspired many tales about the deaths of the students, including Soviet military experiments, conspiracy theories, killer Yetis, and extraterrestrials. Alexander Puzrin from ETH Zurich and Johan Gaume from EPFL found a plausible explanation for the accident using computer simulation and analytical models. They made headlines around the world with it earlier this year.
Alexander Puzrin is Deputy head of the Institute for Geotechnical Engineering at ETH Zurich: https://igt.ethz.ch/ Johan Gaume is head of EPFL's Snow and Avalanche Simulation: [https://www.epfl.ch/labs/slab/]
