How would we get rid of every single mosquito?
In this episode of the Flash Forward podcast we travel to a future where humans have decided to eradicate the most dangerous animal on the planet: mosquitos. How would we do it? Is it even possible? And what are the consequences?
Flash Forward: RSS | iTunes | Twitter | Facebook | Web | Patreon
We talk to experts on mosquito ecology, public health, and a guy whos trying to genetically engineer mosquitoes to eliminate themselves. We talk about everything from how hard it would be to exterminate mosquitoes, to which species we should target, to what the potential side effects might be. Listen for all that and more!
Check out all the great podcasts that Boing Boing has to offer!
