Rose Eveleth
is a writer and producer who explores how humans tangle with science and technology. She's the creator of Flash Forward Presents, a podcast network that demystifies the future, featuring hit shows like Flash Forward and Advice For And From The Future. Her work has covered everything from spoofed fingerprints to fake tumbleweed farms to million dollar baccarat heists. For a longer bio, head this way. You can also follow her on Twitter, Instagram, Linkedin and Facebook. But that might be overdoing things.
She's also got a newsletter for her mom (and you) to keep up with her work and a page for goofy side projects.
