Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Youth Scientist Turns Waste into Energy
Q: What advice do you have for other young people who are maybe looking to get involved in STEM or in environmental activism?
Sanchez advises young people to push through self-doubt and fear of rejection, and to put themselves forward even if they feel unqualified. Her own experiences presenting research and applying for the Brower Youth Award showed her that taking the chance can open opportunities.
Youth Scientist Turns Waste into Energy
Q: For those of us who maybe didn't take a competition in high school and aren't super familiar with microbial fuel cells, can you break it down for our listeners? What are they? How do they work? And what benefits do they provide?
Microbial fuel cells use organic waste containing microorganisms as fuel. As the waste breaks down, the process releases electrons that can be connected to a circuit to generate small amounts of electricity. The process also treats wastewater, and the cells can be made with inexpensive recycled materials.
On Movement Music and Building Bridges [Encore]
Q: What do you mean by that?
Uehlein says organizers need to anticipate how an adversary will respond, since that reaction can shape whether an action succeeds. He illustrates the point with workers using a song during a union organizing drive.
On Movement Music and Building Bridges [Encore]
Q: So can you talk a little bit about how that informed your activism?
Uehlein describes growing up in a steelworker family near polluted Lake Erie, attending a steel strike picket line with his father, and joining the musicians' union as a young teenager.
Balcony Solar Comes to California
Q: How do I get access to a balcony solar unit, and what is the process once the law comes into effect?
The law takes effect January 1, but consumers should look for complete kits certified by UL, which may reach stores after certification and manufacturing. Users must notify their local utility through a simple process, but do not need utility permission or a city permit.
