At the first FutureFest Late, the host of BBC Radio 4’s The Life Scientific, Jim Al-Khalili, was in conversation with Timandra Harkness to discuss the science that will shape our world in the future - from dark matter to quantum biology.

Ahead of the publication of his new sci-fi novel Sunfall, he discussed the appeal of science fiction to scientists, and whether it can help us predict or shape the future.
