The team catch up with data scientist, entrepreneur, and director of Women Who Code, Akanksha Malik to talk about her career path, and her new podcast 'Paths Uncovered'; and Dr. Xin Gu, Lecturer in Communication and Media Studies at Monash University, speaks about the social, legal, technological and health implications of living in a world where intrusive technologies such as facial recognition and surveillance are becoming the norm. The team also explore a new study by the Gonski Institute of Education, which says that 4 out of 5 Australian school kids own at least one device, and how more than 9 out of 10 parents think devices are impacted negatively on their own lives, not just their children’s. With presenters Vanessa Toholka, Dan Salmon, and Rowena Murray.
