Episode notes

Betsy long: Why can't those of us with lots of snow send it to parts of the world suffering from droughts? Christopher royce: Will it ever become cost effective, or are water wars inevitable? I've no idea how decolonization works. That was the next question.

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.
