Top Tech Voices Podcast S2 E2: Sustainable Tech & Innovations for a Greener Planet

JoRatcliffe
JoRatcliffe 17 days ago

Episode Two of Top Tech Voices is here and this episode sees podcast host Georgia Lewis Anderson being joined by Irish inventor Fionn Ferreira.

Fionn has established himself as a leading inventor in environmental science after created a magnet-based method for extracting microplastics from water, and winning the Global Grand Prize at the Google Science Fair in 2019 at just 18 years old.

Settle in for a discussion covering:

  • How Fionn’s parents got him creating and experimenting at an early age
  • How he succeeds by adding an element of childlike playfulness and creativity into the way he works
  • The importance of finding people around you who can do the things you can’t
  • How to stay upbeat in the face of negative news on the climate and environment

    Okay this episode actually got to me like i think most of us did that thing as kids where you'd just pull stuff apart to see how it worked, build something pointless out of whatever was lying around…

    I liked Fionn's focus on practical, physical inventions. What I heard the most was "be the solution" (my synopsis). Good stuff.

    'if you want to build a community, write a newsletter, it is much more valuable than any social media' (13:30)

    An intriguing statement coming from someone who is 25 years old (Generation Z). Most of us here are considerably older, and I’m curious to hear your perspective.
