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.) 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 ...

Big tech is transforming every aspect of our world. But how, and at what cost? This season of Land of the Giants – The Disney Dilemma – focuses on Disney’s ability to weather the ups and downs of the business cycle and changing tastes and explores what has kept it successful for over 100 years. The entertainment giant has leveraged nostalgia and its intellectual property to build a beloved brand, but after an acquisition spree that included Marvel, Lucasfilm, and 20th Century Fox, can it sus ...

It didn’t all change in March 2020. Not really. The UK high street has been in the throes of a gradual revolution for decades. From the rise of ecommerce, to the birth of mobile, social commerce, and a growing emphasis on experience, change has been underway for a while. In fact for many, the pandemic has acted as a wake-up call. Digital transformation was no longer a ‘nice to have’ but a matter of survival. Necessity sparked innovation and customers are enjoying more flexibility and conveni ...

Episode #95 | Microfluidics & Additive Innovation with Paul Marshall

Microfluidics has long promised to reshape diagnostics, drug discovery, and laboratory science. Microfluidics is about manipulating how tiny amounts of liquid move through channels no wider than a human hair; a "lab on a chip" diagnostic. Now imagine being able to 3D print those channels instead of painstakingly etching them. Paul Marshall, CEO of Rapid Fluidics, is working to improve the norm by applying additive manufacturing to the design and production of microfluidic systems.
In this episode, Jenny Chen speaks with Marshall about how 3D printing enables fluidic devices with architectures that cannot be produced through conventional techniques. Traditional fabrication locks researchers into rigid patterns and flat geometries. Paul's work extends beyond basic microfluidics.
His team creates remarkably detailed anatomical models by converting medical imaging data into functional vascular systems that mimic human biology. These models provide alternatives to animal testing and training platforms for medical procedures. They've also worked on embedding electronics directly into microfluidic devices, creating "smart" systems that can measure biological changes in real-time. Their work clearly demonstrates the potential of infusing engineering precision with scientific imagination.
Paul Marshall reflects on the growth of his career as a founder by detailing the progression from experimental prototypes to a growing enterprise serving research communities. Marshall launched this venture at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, a seemingly unpromising time to start a business. However, as diagnostic companies pivoted to develop coronavirus tests, the demand for rapid prototyping exploded. Now five years later, Rapid Fluidics serves global healthcare giants from their base in Newcastle, England, while planning expansion to the United States.
This conversation offers a perspective on microfluidics that goes beyond the traditional. If you’ve ever wondered how big breakthroughs emerge from small scales, this episode makes the case that the tiniest channels can carry some of the most exciting ideas.
