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 couldnât lie? Could there ever be a fecal transplant black market? (Complicated, it wouldnât, and yes, respectively, in case youâre 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 wasnât 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 (âHow We Got To Nowâ), American Innovations uses immersive scenes to tell the stories of the scientists, engineers, and ordinary people behind the great ...

52. The Blob: Questioning Intelligence

In this week's episode, Carolina and Clara discuss intelligence without a nervous system, based on the enigmatic organism "the blob", also known as slime mould or by its latin name, Physarum polycephalum. This fungal-like organism is just a single cell but exhibits some extraordinary behaviours, namely pathfinding and route optimisation, that resembles high-level intelligence. We discuss scientific studies that have explored the behaviour of slime moulds, and the comparisons that can be made to animal/human intelligence.
