Ribbit The Pod Afiqah Dharwi

A sad, quarantined Afi talks about how she feels with everything that is going on with the world. She also spoke about reptiles, and why she loves them very much.

A gassy and jittery Afi talks about Lovelock's idea of fighting climate change through artificial intelligence. She also talked about climate skepticism, greenwashing and suggested another important way we can all do to save our planet.

p/s: This episode intends to spread awareness to bring more people to discuss about the climate crisis. This episode was not intended to lessen the blame in fossil fuel industries as one of the biggest carbon emitters (I hope my points weren't misleading!).

Afi talks about secondhand books, and some crabby facts
P/s: 
- I mispronounced forage and some other words
-  L.A. Borradaile coined the term carcinization to describe the convergent evolution process in which a crustacean evolves into a crab-like form from a non-crab-like form
- Factors of evolution or "forces of evolution" is not necessarily environmental pressure. They are genetic drift, gene flow, mutation and natural selection to be more accurate

A gassy and anxious Afi (because she drank a few cups of coffee) talked about the two books she loves, and what led her to read them. She talked about finches, sexual dimorphism (again), and attempted to explain why evolution is interesting (also made an awkward singing intermission, yuck) probably because the coffee was really making her feel extra anxious and weird than usual.
p/s: advanced apologies if I got a few things wrong
Enjoy!

Afi talks about why climate change is of everyone's responsibility, and how to connect to our planet in a different way...besides benefiting its wonderful resources to sustain life

how to make great iced matcha lattes, sexual dimorphism and other stuff

p/s: i realize i laugh when i'm nervous, or stutter and my voice gets high when i get into serious issues

HAHA

enjoy!
