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.

Join us for episode #99 of Forensics Talks on March 14 at 2 PM Eastern, as we delve into the forefront of forensic biology with Dr. Nicole Novroski from the University of Toronto, Mississauga. Dr. Novroski, specializes in leveraging massively parallel sequencing (MPS) alongside innovative approaches for forensic human identity testing. This episode will explore her work on unearthing previously uncharacterized genetic markers for enhanced DNA mixture de-convolution and her research in identifying distant relatives through benchtop-scale sequencing. Dr. Novroski's current endeavors also include the exploration of computational biology for forensic genetic data analysis, microbial forensics, and advanced DNA methodologies for missing persons and unidentified human remains investigations. Tune in as we uncover the intricacies of DNA sequencing and its profound implications for forensic science, public safety, and beyond!
