This episode explores the promising health benefits of probiotics — not for humans, but for corals. As more coral reefs around the world suffer from bleaching and mass mortality due to warming ocean temperatures and related climate change conditions, good news about reefs is welcome news. A study led by marine scientists at KAUST shows probiotics to be helpful protagonists in boosting coral health and preventing mortality in the face of environmental stressors.

Two KAUST agritech startups are bringing innovative food production technologies to communities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and other global locations. Edama is an organic waste recycling facility that provides desert agriculture solutions, and Natufia has developed the world's first smart indoor kitchen garden.

In episode 21 of Sciencetown, Mitchell Morton of Edama and Gregory Lu of Natufia join Julie West in the studio to talk about sustainable food solutions for communities and homes, and also space. The startups joined forces to compete in the first phase of NASA’s Deep Space Food Challenge in 2021, and were among 10 international winners recognized for their low-maintenance, closed-loop food production ecosystem.

In this final episode of the three-part Sciencetown series on innovative portable technologies, Julie West chats with Dr. Pascal Saikaly, a professor of environmental science and engineering at KAUST with expertise in wastewater treatment and water reuse. Pascal discusses innovative wastewater treatment approaches being used to produce clean water for non-potable applications such as irrigation and horticulture, including a recently installed portable pilot plant designed to provide reliable access to sanitation for rural and remote areas of Saudi Arabia at significantly reduced energy and operational costs.
