Bruce the Parrot Uses Tools | Are U.S. Railroad Gauges Based on Roman Chariots? | Bio Inspired Soft Robotics | We can thank dogs for the invention of velcro | Through The TechVine Radio Program Episode Fifteen

Through the tech vine episode 15

We have officially decided to keep Through The TechVine a live recording but Radio Style. We like that mood — what do you think?

Apart from that, everything else is the usual Tech and Science Topics conversations, some good laughs, and a lot of WHAT IF?! 
🤔 🧐

In this episode we talk about:

WiCyS Advancing Women in CyberSecurity.
Established in 2012 by Dr. Ambareen Siraj of Tennessee Tech University through a National Science Foundation grant partnerships, and collaboration benefits for all women, allies and advocates with a  strong mission to recruit, retain and advance women in cybersecurity.

Bruce the Parrot Uses Tools to Survive Despite a Broken Beak.
Missing his upper beak, an alpine parrot in New Zealand uses small pebbles for preening.

Are U.S. Railroad Gauges Based on Roman Chariots?
Probably not 😬 but, it is a lovely story that connects technology from the past with the future ones.

Bio Inspired Soft Robotics. 
Taking inspiration from nature and, at the same time, revealing new biological phenomena.

Did you know that we can thank dogs for the invention of velcro.
And for so much more, of course.
 

Learn more about these topics and some more by listening to this podcast.

We are serious about thinking about the many ways technology is and will impact our society. Still, we do not miss the opportunity to share some other stories, oddities, rarities, and some laughs.

There is one truth that is not told enough: technology is not magic — but it can be magical.

Technology is human — it is part of who we are… our evolution… our future.

Will it be a Dystopian or Utopian one? Well, that is up to us, and nobody else.
