Description

One peer-reviewed research paper, every week, explained in plain English. Ten minutes, with your morning coffee. No jargon. No PhD required. FutureProof covers AI, robotics, biotech, energy, materials science, and climate technology. We read the actual paper, pull out what matters, and explain it so you understand it. The real findings and context that headlines always leave out. For anyone who reads science news and wishes someone would just explain what it actually means, this is that. Hosted by Brett Beckermann. New episodes every Friday morning.
