Episode notes

Future humans will look back on generation to say, what were they thinking? That's just absurd. And the only way things are going to change is if people demand that it changes. When the entire country is doing it right, then we can force these companies to stop using these stupid methods to do things right. So for more on this, you can catch ologys episode numer two on primatology.

THIS IS UPLIFTING, I PROMISE. And it might just make you switch careers. As a bookend to last week's Oceanology episode, Conservation Technologist Shah Selbe chats about saving the planet with some well-intentioned technology. Wind turbines, solar cars, and all the ways in which sensors, drones, recycled smartphones and real-time data reporting can help conserve species, spaces and communities that are threatened. Hear inspiring tales of travel, art, adventure and putting engineering to good use from a former rocket-science turned professional do-gooder.

Also discussed: crocodile astrology, fishing vests and hippo power displays.
