3D print your new home in a week from recycled plastic bottles
Major natural disasters like floods or wild fires leave tens of thousands of people homeless every year. If they’re lucky, they will find themselves in temporary accommodation. But what if 3D printing a new home allowed people to have permanent high quality shelter within a matter of weeks? Ross Maguire, CEO of Azure Printed Homes is currently printing a room in a day from used plastic bottles. He’s on the show to explain the technology behind this sophisticated and speedy housing solution and how they’re currently using it in California. They hope that soon they will use the technology in more remote locations.
Redressing the gender balance – getting more women on Wikipedia
Dr. Jessica Wade is a materials scientist by day, looking to develop new semiconductors that can be used at room temperature, making quantum computing a step closer to reality. However, by night she is addressing the gender and diversity imbalance online. Since 2018 she has written Wikipedia entries of women and people of colour every day. Jess now also nominates unknown scientists for awards they would never have entered for themselves, attempting to significantly raise their profiles and shine a light on their work.
Venture capitalists investing in Tech for Good
Evan MainDonald, Managing Partner at Hyperlight Ventures, a venture capital fund that supports socially responsible projects is on the show to explain why he is investing in the Somewhere on Earth podcast.
