  • Shallow

    Not a lot of critical thinking or balanced analysis in the episode I listened to. It seemed more like cheerleading.

  • informative and fun

    I have been listening to and enjoying The Future of Everything for a couple of years now. The premise of the podcast, interviewing world-class researchers on their work by an engaging and deeply informed host is fantastic. Russ does his homework by reading the interviewees’ papers ahead of the time, ask strategic questions to steer the conversations, and inject humour to lighten up the subject. I learned new things each time I listen to a podcast and would recommend it to everyone.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The future of wound healing
Q: What is one thing that gives you the most hope about the future?
Young people, the people who are coming up now through schools and their creativity, their enthusiasm. This gives me hope for the future.
The future of wound healing
Q: Jill, why did you decide to focus on wound healing as a major focus in your research?
It started from an interest in embryonic development, how tissues form, and once you get an idea of how tissues form, it seems pretty obvious that the next thing you'd want to ask is, well, when they're injured, do they repair using the same mechanisms?
The future of the built environment
Q: What is one thing you want people to walk away from this episode of The Future of Everything remembering or now knowing?
That we shape our infrastructure, but our infrastructure shapes us.
Best of: The future of ultrafast electronics
Q: Are these potential computers going to be very energy efficient or high energy consumers?
There is hope for energy-efficient quantum computers at room temperature, which would significantly reduce energy consumption compared to current cryogenic systems.
Best of: The future of ultrafast electronics
Q: Is there a possibility of using that speed for our next generation of electronics?
Yes, the aim is to use light waves to steer electrons in circuitry, with the potential to push electronics from the current nanosecond scale to the petahertz scale.
