  • Can We Really Predict the Climate Future? | David Stainforth Explains
    May 2 2025

    Can we really predict the future of our climate? What do scientists actually know — and what remains unknowable? In this episode, we're joined by physicist and climate expert David Stainforth, author of "Predicting Our Climate Future: What We Know, What We Don't Know, And What We Can't Know", to explore the limits of climate modeling, the uncertainties we face, and what that means for sustainability and action today.

    We dive into:

    What climate science can (and can’t) tell us
    Why uncertainty isn’t always a bad thing
    Insights from David’s new book
    How to stay hopeful and motivated in the face of climate complexity

    Whether you're a climate nerd, a curious skeptic, or just someone trying to make sense of the future, this episode will challenge the way you think about prediction, science, and our path forward.

  • Flight Path - From Father's Mission to sustainable Aviation
    Feb 28 2025

    We had the chance to talk to Alejandro Isaza Pizarro when we were filming our eGenius project from the University of Stuttgart – Institute of Aircraft Design (IFB). Alejandro grew up watching his Father do a honourable Job as an air ambulance pilot. Having grown up with that passion for aviation he has now found his own path in aerospace engineering. This interview was super spontaneous but is really an incredible interesting one at that.

    This is the last part of the eGenius Project by the the University of Stuttgart, whose Institute of Aircraft Design (IFB) carried out the aircraft modification and flight demonstration, and the University of Stuttgart's Institute of Flight Mechanics and Control (iFR) who developed the autopilot system!

    The e-Genius project is a part of SiFlA (Lu-Fo VI 1) "Silent and efficient glider-towing with high degree of automation" which is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Action.
