Future Sci Chat #7: Public Funding for Science


In the most important episode we've tackled so far on Future Sci Chat, we talked about the changes in North American political policy with regards to public and governmental funding of scientific research. This topic is very important to all of us as scientists, but it's also important to the public in general, and it is important to be informed about just how this can affect you.

If you want to learn more, which you should, here are some links:

Future Sci Chat #6: Climate Change


We talked this week about causes of climate change, ways to get carbon out of our atmosphere and why throwing nuclear waste into a volcano might make a better action movie supervillain scheme than climate change solution! Hope you like it.

If you want to know more about carbon sequestration, or the IPCC, Wikipedia has a ton more information than we could cover!

Future Tech Chat #20: Music


This week on Future Chat featured a special guest musician, the great +Damien Broomes! He's a member of +Sons of Pluto, and we discussed some of his experiences with live shows and technology triumphs and malfunctions. We also talked about streaming music vs. downloading or buying CDs, the resurgence of vinyl records, and how concerts have evolved over the years as music technology improves. We also touched on the music piracy discussion from the point of view of a young artist trying to break into the music industry.

There's a lot of technology that goes into the music we all love, and I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as we did!

You can learn more about Damien and Sons of Pluto at http://sonsofpluto.com.
