Episode 002 - AuReus

Tim and James talk carrots, solar panels, and one man’s quest to unite them. The James Dyson Award 2020 Sustainability Winner for 2020, Carvey Ehren Maigue, proposes that we are very wasteful when it comes to UV radiation and food waste. What better way to solve both problems than to design a ‘UV sequestration’ device out of food waste! Why this new piece of technology might not be everything its selling itself as is the subject of this episode.

Episode 001 - Theranos

A physicist loses it as he is told about Theranos for the first time. How could the world's top investors, scientists and technology companies invest over $9 billion in a product that didn't exist? How could governments and charities heap awards on someone for work they had never done? Who can you trust? What is true? Who the hell knows?! But here two physicists will talk it out until they can't take anymore.
