Episode 309: Dr. Sam Illingworth | Carbon City Zero | Senior Lecturer in Science Communication, Manchester

In my continuing quest to make myself sound as stupid as possible, I am joined by the highly intelligent, articulate and dapper gentleman, Dr Sam Illingworth. We discuss the use of tabletop games in order to spark scientific discussion. Environmental policies in relation to the continuing changing political climate and the responsibility of boardgame designers in relation to sustainability.  We chat a little about Carbon City Zero, coming to Kickstarter on the 9th September. Which is all about running your own city and pushing it towards being as Carbon Free as possible.  Please check out the links below.  Links of Notes  www.samillingworth.com https://twitter.com/samillingworth Link to the Manchester Game Studies Network: https://www.manchestergamestudies.org/ Manchester Game Studies Network on Twitter: https://twitter.com/MGSNwork Link to recent scientific paper using Catan to discuss global warming: https://jcom.sissa.it/archive/18/04/JCOM_1804_2019_A04 ================================================================== If you like what you have heard, please take some time to Rate, Subscribe and Review us on APPLE PODCASTS. https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/were-not-wizards/id1084198405    DROP US A REVIEW HERE..  READ OUR WRITING - https://werenotwizards.blogspot.com  WE ARE NOW ON SPOTIFY!! https://open.spotify.com/show/7ooBejoLBsIHoP7IpCtnYZ  YOUTUBE - PLEASE SUBSCRIBE https://www.youtube.com/c/WereNotWizardsTabletopPodcast www.patreon.com/werenotwizards  SUPPORT THE SHOW WITH $£  www.werenotwizards.blogspot.com - Read our Reviews https://boardgamegeek.com/guild/3334 - Our BGG Guild Board Game Geek  https://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgamepodcast/35093/were-not-wizards  Website - www.werenotwizards.com    Facebook - http://www.facebook.com/werenotwizards   Twitter.com - http://www.twitter.com/werenotwizards   Check out our pictures - www.instagram.com/werenotwizards  BUY SOME MERCH - https://www.redbubble.com/people/WereNotWizards/portfolio
