What Should Science Solve in the Next 50 Years? Recorded Live at the 2025 Cambridge Science Carnival

At this year’s Cambridge Science Carnival, hosted by the MIT Museum, I set up with one big question: “If science could solve one problem for humanity in the next 50 years, what would you choose—and why?”

Fourteen curious minds, from ages 11 to 64, took the mic to share their answers. From eliminating waste and ensuring clean water, to achieving world peace and even resurrecting dinosaurs, their responses reflect a wide spectrum of hopes, challenges, and dreams for our future.

In this special live episode of Curiously, I bring you their voices, their ideas, and even my own take on this thought-provoking question.
