Ep. 51: Sonia Faruqi<\/strong>\u00a0– author of ‘The Oyster Thief’\u00a0 & \u00a0‘Project Animal Farm’ ||<\/h3>\n
\n

For episode 51 we welcome critically acclaimed author Sonia Faruqi to the show. \u00a0In our 40 minute discussion Faruqi goes deep into her recent work ‘The Oyster Thief’<\/em>\u00a0which blends fantasy and environmental activism. \u00a0It’s a Sci-Fi novel which depicts an underwater civilization of mer-people themed amongst true ocean science, and acts of conservation living out in a deep-sea community.\u00a0 \u00a0Tune-In and hear her out…
\n.<\/span>
\nThink of if this way: \u00a0Many folks have found their calling in STEM through an interest in Science Fiction – which was introduced to them at a young age.\u00a0 \u00a0Our interests in space travel & Super Heroes have changed our society (and some’s belief structure) within a generation.\u00a0\u00a0Sonia believes that the genre of Sci-Fi sparks interest and passion in young folks – and, this has incubated broader interest in more sciences & maths. \u00a0Getting them interested in this stuff at a you age makes them inquisitive, and more adoptive of science through-out their life.\u00a0 That’s a theory which has a great deal of merit.
\n.<\/span>
\n\"\"Faruqi’s previous work \u2018Project Animal Farm\u2019<\/em> was released in 2015. \u00a0This non-fiction work looked at the world\u2019s food system through chronicling a journey to 60 animal farms in 8 countries. \u00a0Faruqi combines her hands-on immersive learning with analysis on modern global agricultural models. \u00a0The well researched book comes in tow with recommendations, and food sustainability solutions for many of these international issues. \u00a0She has some heavy hitters in food, agriculture and ocean health singing her praises.
\n.<\/span>
\nSo, If we’re going to address the many issues facing our shrinking planet – our oceans – we’ll need more great minds interested in planetary sciences. That’s a fact. \u00a0Environmental Sci-Fi seems to be an interesting strike-point to trigger more interest within the right groups, at the right time, for all the right reasons.\u00a0 Sonia Faruqi has me convinced!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
