    The Great Geoengineering Debate

    The Great Geoengineering Debate
    This week Matt Sauers is back and we're looking we're looking at the shiny new technological idea that could turn back the clock on climate change...or it could fundamentally alter the atmosphere setting in motion a series of events that renders the planet unlivable. So let's ask the question, is it better to invest in solar engineering? Or would we be better served to put that time and effort into finding more sustainable types of energy. Plus we're also talking about some polluted pollinators that are covered in dinosaur juice exhaust. Your Hosts James Reed (https://twitter.com/James_Reed3) Steffi Diem (https://twitter.com/SteffiDiem) Jason Organ (https://twitter.com/OrganJM) Our Guest Eagle eared listeners will remember Matt from our Gen Con episode with Indiana Sciences, where he wowed the crowd by bringing science to the world of dungeons and dragons. In his spare time, he works as an engineer and mentor to the future of STEM.

    Science Night returns with a new season, a new logo, but the same great scicomm!!!

So join us as we talk about soft robots that get even softer as they melt into a puddle of toxic goo, a nano bead that can write on water, and why our squishy human bodies aren't quite ready to explore the stars.
