The second half of the show is a conversation with Stanford Scientist Arvin Gouw and CRISPR technology as well as his connection to the ocean and his motivation for taking climate action as the coral in Northern Bali struggles. Land sea connections, smart fun conversations, a deeper dive into human ecology and how everything is connected.
