Given the intensity and severity of today’s wildfire’s, what high tech tools do our firefighters have at their disposal for becoming aware of these events?  We interview Dr. Illkay Altintas, one of the creators of the highly touted WIFIRE network, using a multitude of sensors and human input on the ground combined with NASA satellite info for not just showing the severity of a fire but also predictions of how the fire will progress into the future. 

We also talk with Frank Schwartz, an experienced firetracker who uses WIFIRE and Google Earth tools for seeing what’s happening with the latest fires, such as those we have experienced in Santa Rosa and the Santa Cruz Mountain areas.

Listen Now to Dr. Future Show 10.03.2017

In the aftermath of the Las Vegas Massacre, the worst mass shooting in recent US history, we focused our live audience on calling in possible solutions to this madness. From gun shot detectors at large events to a mental health evaluation for everyone applying for a gun permit, we look at the pros and cons of such potential solutions.  We also take a look at other countries, such as Germany and Australia to see if we may take a page from their playbook.   This is a serious folks, with no easy solution.  But fortunately, we have a collective desire to move this issue forward, and this show is our first attempt to move the needle on our out of control gun issue. We look forward to your ideas and comments.
