NOL #59 - Philanthropy Feels Like Sex

Christy and Jeremy both got challenged to do the ALS ice bucket challenge and handled it in very different ways. Then we are joined by Karli Christiansen from TisBest philanthropy to talk about the science of giving, generosity, how she is working with elementary kids to change the world, and how she once humanely relocated a colony of ants from her home. We wrap it up with Jeremy's "Ice bucket challenge best practices" and of course some rad space news. As discussed on the show: You can help support Karli and all her projects including voting for her panel at SXSW Edu (please do this!) right here and you can find her on twitter @KAnneTweets.  Jeremy takes the Ice Bucket Challenge  A skeptics guide to the Ice bucket challenge - Awareness Is Not Money by @RothschildMD Rad space news: Curiosity wheel damage, and SpaceX rocket detonates during launch. www.nerdoutloudpod.com, facebook.com/nerdoutloudpod, @nerdoutloudpod, and please subscribe/review us on iTunes.
