I’ve been thinking about how to revisit old episodes, and give you folks updates on things that have happened since we covered certain futures. Sometimes things warrant more than a social media post, but not quite a whole new episode. So here’s a little experiment! On this episode, we revisit three futures and you get some juicy, fresh updates. We talk about a mosquito experiment gone wrong, a UBI experiment gone right, and what the heck is going on with coronavirus. \nIf you like this, let me know? There are a few other episodes I think are worth an update (The census is this year! A DNA testing company we covered was bought out by a lab that works with law enforcement! People in Sweden are flying way less!) and if you like this I’ll definitely do another. \nSources:\n\n\nDr. Cameron Webb — mosquito expert, University of Sydney\n\n\nDr. Amy Castro Baker — assistant professor at University of Pennsylvania\n\n\nDr. Stacia Martin-West — assistant professor at University of Tennessee, Knoxville\n\n\nAlexandra Phelan — Center for Global Health Science and Security, Georgetown University\n\n\n→ → → Further reading on today’s episode can be found here ← ← ←\n\nFlash Forward is produced by me, Rose Eveleth.
