Episode notes

In researching, i did learn that there are fixet clinics at local goodwill stores and other places. One of our collaborators on one of the projects that we have a this individual named toper white. He's a great guy. What they do is they take cell phones, smart phones that people don't want any more, and they recycle em as these forest guardians. I meana, that's why all our stuff is open sore, so we can share the information a and move off of it.

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.
