  • Episode 44: Climate Change
    2018 has been a year for the history books. All years are, that's how history works, but 2018? Really takes the biscuit.
    This episode isn't all doom and gloom. The first half is, mostly, but then we get to the important part - fixing the problem with local action, cooperation, and immediately investing in saving the world. Join us in doing that. Thanks.

  • Episode 39: Conspiracy, social media and science communication
    Confronting conspiracy theories, Facebook advertising opportunities, tweeting about science to scientists and encouraging robots towards collective action: we're living in the future now, folks. Better bring some science with you.
    Also, this episode was recorded before the big revelations that Facebook had been misusing personal information for advertising, and whatever Elon Musk has done now, though in retrospect - what is surprising about that, or anything anymore?
