Post a comment let us know what you think about the show. If you have topics or conversation suggestions please contact me.
I have some very interesting talks in the pipeline! I interviewed a 13 year old who is testing for GMO's in common foods for his science fair project. I will be having a chat about eco-literacy and implementing programs to teach eco-literacy in elementary schools. I will get back to the topic of genetic modifications in talking with a documentary film maker who is working on a film about synthetic biology. One more conversation is in the works on the topic of open mythology and permaculture.
If you or your friends are in the southern California region and are interested in Solar power please contact me! I maintain this site as a hobby and make a living as a solar consultant for Bonterra Solar.
