In this episode I discuss a new Facebook hate speech policy banning Holocaust misinformation, Ikea's new path to tackling climate change and entering the reused furniture market and a new gene therapy treatment that was successful in helping partially blind patients see again. In the more lighthearted segment, I talk about 2 stories on how parrots are incredible - telling rescuers its address, singing songs and helping humans with PTSD. Lastly, there was a 20 year old college student who dove to pick up trash along the ocean coastline!
