Episode notes

Crocodile mating eason is between november and march in the southern hemisphere. Eggs take three months to hatch, so i think most crocodiles are probably gemanice. In other parts of the world, it's not monitored at all. We want to build censors to give to them until allowd to say, hey, this is actually happening. And right when that starts to happen, it automatically posts to the internet. So it's quite a powerful thing.

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.
