#8 Dissecting Guinea Pigs (with Sir David King)

Sir David King is a former Chief Scientific Adviser to Britain's
prime minister, Emeritus Professor in physical chemistry at the
University of Cambridge and one of the most avid fighters against
the climate crisis. At 80 years of age, he is still actively
engaged in many of the biggest battles which are fought right
now. Nevertheless, he took the time to talk to a small German
podcast that tries to inspire young people to find their way. We
talk to him about his upbringing in South Africa during Apartheid
and how their family's cook inspired him to fight for his
beliefs, about the value of integrity and why we should consider
jumping off the fence. And of course about how it feels to be
knighted by the one, the only, the Queen.
