Biography
Eveleth graduated with a BSc in Ecology, Behavior and Evolution from the University of California San Diego (2010)[5] and went on to earn a masters in Journalism Science (Health and Environmental Reporting) from New York University in 2011.[4]
Eveleth started as a blogger and producer for The Doppler Effect, a weekly science show.[6] She spent five years as the Podcast Editor for Story Collider,[7] a non-profit group dedicated to true, personal stories about science.[7]
In 2013, together with Bora Zivkovic and Ben Lillie, Eveleth co-founded Science Studio, a first-of-its-kind project to collect multimedia stories about science in the manner of annual "year's best" compilations of reported and written stories.[8] Since 2015, she has been a podcast host and producer for Flash Forward, a podcast about possible and not so possible futures.[9]
On the occasion of Eveleth's MJ Bear Fellowship in 2016, the selection committee commented:[4]
"Straddling the bright horizon between science and science fiction, Fast Forward is an engaging and informative podcast about how we live in and imagine the future. As creator and host of this solo project, Rose is not just shaping an imagined future, but her own. With Flash Forward she has shown creativity and flair, packaged with deep reporting, thoughtful engagement, and smart questioning. Most notably, among the gifts Rose offers journalism is imagination and a long view into the future."
In 2019, the Swedish podcasting startup Acast included Flash Forward among the ad-free shows it features for a small charge.[10]
