Episode notes

Metaportal is a smart video calling device that works alongside your laptop. It pans and zooms to keep you in frame, so you can move around while you work. Meta portal also automatically adjusts a low lighting to keep you looking good. And if you don't want people to hear a dog in the background, perhaps you don't need to beg your dog to be quiet.

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.
