Hosted and produced by award winning science journalist Rose Eveleth, each episode combines audio drama and journalism to go deep on potential tomorrows, and uncovers what those futures might re ...

Join us as we travel to the Solway Firth in Dumfries and Galloway to meet staff from NatureScot's wildlife management team - Jenny Park, Rae McKenzie and Alastair MacGugan.
The team talk us through their vital research into the highly pathogenic avian influenza – or avian flu as it's more commonly known – and the impact it's having on the thousands of barnacle geese that migrate to the Solway Firth each winter from their Arctic breeding grounds.
In this episode, you'll learn about the collaborative research efforts underway and how cutting-edge science is helping us better understand bird responses to avian flu. You'll also discover the importance of this work for wildlife conservation and how it contributes to our wider understanding of disease management in wild bird populations.
