In our latest episode, we welcome a special guest, Dr. Robert Stowe, executive director of the Harvard Environmental Economics Program, and co-director of the Harvard Project on Climate Agreements. He helps us debunk common myths and preconceptions regarding climate change, and tackle some big questions and niche areas - is the onus on the government or us as individuals to make an impact on climate change, to how does agriculture play a role? Tune in to hear Dr. Stowe’s take on it all and his work!

COVID-19 has thrown our education system into chaos, and many B&M schools had to move to online learning. However, Stanford OHS has been doing virtual learning for almost a decade now, so listen in on this episode as the crew converses with Stanford OHS's principal, Dr. Tomohiro Hoshi. He gives insight into how OHS has helped other schools with virtual learning and how schools responded to OHS's example. In addition, we've hit on topics such as the permanency of online learning, SEL and the value of social connection (both in-person and virtually), and many more!
