In the third bonus episode of the DWR, Steph and Kenna discuss the themes of environmentalism within science fiction. The dynamic duo also dives into how science fiction has helped and hindered environmental movements and how sci fi has inspired several different science fiction subgenres, such as cli-fi and solarpunk, and where things stand today. 

Every Tuesday, join hosts Stephanie Gerk, Kenna Hughes-Castleberry, and MJ Banias as they round up the latest science and tech stories from the pages of The Debrief. From far-future technology to space travel to strange physics that alters our perception of the universe, The Debrief Weekly Report is meant for the dreamers who love the science and technology of the future.
