In Episode 4, we meet water engineer and environmental justice advocate Siddhartha Roy. Now a research scientist at the University of North Carolina's Water Institute, Siddhartha was an integral part of exposing the Flint water crisis in 2015. He chats with host Ken Stern about growing up in India, the future of water equity, and his real-life fight with the Hulk. Half of Generation Z—people who are now between 10 and 25 years old—could live to be 100. Their extended futures are shrouded by climate change, pandemics, and racial and social disparities. But according to recent polling from the Pew Research Center, Gen Z is the most optimistic generation yet. In “Century Lives: the Next 50,” host Ken Stern talks to inspirational leaders in their 20s and 30s about what they've learned from previous generations, how they're working to improve the world they've inherited, and how they imagine their super-sized futures will unfold.

Just before government sanctioned lockdowns came into effect, due to the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, we caught up with Siddhartha Roy, COO at one of India's pioneering OTT platforms: Hungama. Siddhartha shares valuable insights on the following: The genesis, growth story, and current landscape of the Indian OTT space The power of creating sticky content in regional languages to capture greater market share How Hungama uses big data and cutting-edge tech like AI to fuel a powerful content recommendation engine The impact of personalizing user experiences across multiple digital touchpoints, such as apps, websites, push notifications, email, etc. The value of human capital and AI working together to elevate user experiences at scale Check out what Siddhartha has to say on turning freemium users into paying subscribers by turning up the volume on user delight!

We give scientists and engineers great technical training, but we're not as good at teaching ethical decision-making or building character. Take, for example, the environmental crisis that recently unfolded in Flint, Michigan -- and the professionals there who did nothing to fix it. Siddhartha Roy helped prove that Flint's water was contaminated, and he tells a story of science in service to the public good, calling on the next generation of scientists and engineers to dedicate their work to protecting people and the planet.

우리는 과학자들과 공학자들에게 많은 기술적인 것들을 가르칩니다. 하지만 도덕적 판단력과 인격 수양을 가르치는 데에는 익숙하지 않죠. 미시건주의 플린트시에서 일어난 환경위기와 그것을 해결하지 않은 전문가들의 사례를 볼까요. 플린트시의 식수가 오염되었음을 증명하는 일에 참여했던 싯다르타 로이가 공공의 이익을 추구하는 과학에 대해 이야기하며, 다음 세대의 과학자와 공학자들은 자신의 연구를 통해 사람들과 지구를 보호하는데 기여해야 한다고 말합니다.

Wir bilden unsere Wissenschaftler und Techniker exzellent aus, aber wir sind weniger gut, wenn es um die Erziehung in ethischen Fragen oder um Charakterbildung geht. Die Umweltkrise, die kürzlich Flint, Michigan (USA) getroffen hat, ist ein Beispiel dafür. Die zuständigen Experten vor Ort taten nichts, um die Krise zu bewältigen. Siddhartha Roy hat mitgeholfen zu beweisen, dass Flints Wasser verunreinigt war. Er erzählt eine Geschichte über die Wissenschaft im Dienst des Gemeinwohls und ruft die nächste Generation von Wissenschaftler und Technikern auf, ihre Arbeit dem Schutz der Menschen und des Planeten zu widmen.

Damos aos cientistas e engenheiros um ótimo treinamento técnico, mas não somos tão bons assim para lhes ensinar a tomar decisões éticas ou contribuir para construção do caráter. Vejam, por exemplo, a crise do meio ambiente que recentemente se desenrolou em Flint, no estado de Michigan, e os profissionais de lá que não fizeram nada para resolver o problema. Siddhartha Roy ajudou a provar que a água de Flint estava contaminada, e ele conta uma história da ciência a serviço do bem público, conclamando a próxima geração de cientistas e engenheiros a dedicarem seu trabalho à proteção das pessoas e do planeta.

Damos a los científicos e ingenieros gran formación técnica, pero no somos tan buenos en la enseñanza de la toma de decisiones éticas o la construcción de carácter. Tomemos, por ejemplo, la crisis ambiental que se desató recientemente en Flint, Michigan - y los profesionales allí que no hicieron nada para arreglarlo. Siddhartha Roy ayudó a demostrar que el agua de Flint estaba contaminada, y cuenta una historia de ciencia al servicio del bien público, llamando a la próxima generación de científicos e ingenieros a dedicar su trabajo a proteger a las personas y al planeta.

Part 1: Environmental engineer Siddhartha Roy is baffled when the state of Michigan insists the water in Flint is safe to drink despite his scientific evidence. Part 2: Sociologist Ada Cheng learns a surprising lesson about resistance while studying human rights violations in Hong Kong. Siddhartha Roy is an Environmental Engineer and PhD candidate in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Virginia Tech. He works with Dr. Marc Edwards researching corrosion failures in potable water infrastructure. Sid also serves as the student leader and communications director for the Virginia Tech “Flint Water Study” research team that helped uncover the Flint Water Crisis. Ada Cheng is a professor-turned storyteller, improviser, and stand-up comic. She was a tenured professor in sociology at DePaul University for 15 years. She resigned from her position to pursue theater and performance full time in 2016. She is a one-time Moth storyslam winner, a presenter at the National Storytelling Conference, and a runner-up at Chicago’s Bughouse Square Debates. She has been featured at storytelling shows in Chicago and Atlanta. She has also told stories at The Moth in Chicago, New York, Denver, and Detroit. Her book, Standing Up: From Renegade Professor to Middle-Aged Comic, published in December 2016 by Difference Press, aims at encouraging people, particularly mid-lifers, to embrace fear about uncertainty and to pursue their passion and dream. Her motto: Make your life the best story you tell. Check out her website www.renegadeadacheng.com for more information. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We talk to Siddhartha Roy, a PhD student and graduate researcher in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Virginia Tech. Roy is a founding member of the Virginia Tech Flint Water Study and has worked on the ground in Flint applying his research on corrosion and plumbing to the crisis.

Siddhartha Roy is a Ph.D. student at Virginia Tech and Communications Director of the Flint Water Study. His research under Dr. Marc Edwards led him to studying the citywide lead contamination in the Flint Water Crisis. In this interview, Sid shares his experiences working with the Flint community and his insights into how Academia can better serve the public good.
