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.)

And why are people feeling good on the carnivore diet? Nutrition and food scientist Dr Emma Beckett takes us through what the evidence says about food categories and ingredients like meat, dairy and salt — and unpick why nutrition studies can be so conflicting and confusing.

But those same properties also mean that the chemicals can persist in the environment seemingly, well, forever. That’s left regulators and scientists in New Jersey and around the world grappling with how to permanently destroy the chemicals.…

Regulatory roadblocks under President Joe Biden have effectively put the plan on hold. But with Donald Trump set to return to the White House, the LNG debate may soon return to South Jersey. Check out All Gassed Up, a three-part series from Sea Change that goes deep on the past, present and future of liquified natural gas. Here’s Part 1: The Carbon Coast…

They are called PFAS or “forever chemicals.” They originated here in New Jersey decades ago with a promise of a future made easier by science. They’ve spread into countless products, and polluted countless places throughout the world. Now, they are even in our blood.

It's been two years since the federal taxes that bring money to the Superfund program were reinstated, and the results are already being seen at pollution clean-ups around the nation. A recent report published by the U.S. PIRG Education Fund and Environment America found that that billions of dollars are being collected, allowing previously stalled work at dozens of Superfund sites to finally move forward -- including 10 in New Jersey.…

Getting it cleaned up will be difficult – and expensive. At roughly $1.8 billion, the Passaic River is estimated to be the costliest project currently facing the EPA’s Superfund program.
