Hello Earthlings! In this week’s episode, we are joined by Richard Youngman, CEO of the Cleantech Group, a pioneer in championing clean technologies since 2002. Richard provides a masterclass on the importance of perseverance and strategic funding in fostering sustainable technologies and driving innovation. Discover how the Cleantech Group, through initiatives like the Cleantech 100 list, keeps a pulse on emerging companies shaping our sustainable future. Through Lisa Ann and Richard’s conversation, we’ll learn how we can all contribute to a cleaner, more sustainable planet and how Richard and his team are utilizing their crucial work in powering the cleantech revolution.
Restoring our faith in humanity this week, the spotlight is on Sirish Subash, a young innovator from Snellville, Georgia. Sirish, a ninth-grade student, has created a groundbreaking device called "PestiSCAND" designed to detect pesticide residues on produce. His invention, which uses spectral photometry and an AI-based machine learning program, won the 3M Young Scientist Challenge and aims to address significant health risks associated with pesticide residues found in 70% of produce. We salute Sirish’s creativity and determination, celebrating his efforts to make a tangible difference in public health and safety.
