    11: Harvard’s Divestment Announcement, Ethical Investing, & Spock Ears

    11: Harvard’s Divestment Announcement, Ethical Investing, & Spock Ears

    In this episode, Dan and Sade discuss divestment, investing ethically, and Dan’s beloved Spock ears. Focusing on Harvard’s divestment announcement, the pair talk about what socially responsible investing (SRI) looks like, is it even possible to invest ethically, and if people on Wall Street really care.

    **Correction: Sade says something that alludes to the fact that Goldman Sachs guarantees returns with ESG funds; this is not correct. The primary ESG fund used by their team is meant to still track the S&P and thus give similar returns to the entire market.

    08: Carbon Footprints, Personal Responsibility, and BP

    08: Carbon Footprints, Personal Responsibility, and BP

    And we are officially back!

    In this episode we talk about the concept of the carbon footprint and if BP really invented it as people TikTok keeps saying (they’re wrong), people misquoting studies to further their opinions, and what personal responsibility looks like in a global climate crisis. We also hear snippets about Dan’s experience writing for the IPCC, protesting and what that should look like, and what a world where we don’t worry about climate change could look like

aspiebrain ,

Thank you

I’m really enjoying this podcast. I’m black, autistic, female — and utterly obsessed with all things science and philosophy. This is the first time I’ve listened to a podcast and felt seen and represented! I’m listening. Keep speaking.
