What if buildings could tell you how they could be more efficient?

Well, you could partner with IBM, use their software to collect and analyze data from HVACs to elevators to lights.

Then you can use AI-driven insights to pinpoint inefficiency and act on it, saving energy, money, and emissions.

That's the sustainability solution IBM and the global real estate company created.

Welcome to Stuff You Missed in History class, a production of iHeart Radio.

Hello and welcome to the podcast. I'm Tracy V. Wilson and I'm Holly Fry.

At various points on the show, we have mentioned that someone we were talking about was an anti-vivid sectionist.

That's included Emma Hardy, who was married to Thomas Hardy, as well as author Vernon Lee.

And then we've also talked about anti-vivid sectionists as a group opposing medical research and drug development that used living animals in some way.

So that included the production of early smallpox vaccines and research into isolating and producing insulin.

Sort of it's a thing that has kind of come up in passing a lot almost we haven't ever really focused on the anti-vivid section movement or talked in much more detail about what that meant.

So the term, vivisection was first used in English in the 18th century to describe the act of cutting or dissecting a living organism.

So not not an animal that had died, but an animal that was alive.

And the words, vivisectionist and anti-vivid sectionist were both coined in the 19th century to describe people who either defended or opposed experiments that were done on live non human animals.

The term vivisection is still used today. There are still anti-vivid section organizations, but when people talk about this as a movement, they're generally focused on the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

And that is what we are talking about today with the Brown dog affair.

This was a series of demonstrations and riots surrounding a statue that had been erected in the Battersea area of London.

The statue commemorated dogs who had been killed due to vivisection. Also just the note we are aware that humans are also animals, but adding the words non human before animals every time we say it in this audio podcast like that.

It would be incredibly cumbersome. So we know everyone knows what we mean when we say humans and animals and we recognize that yes, humans are also animals.

There's almost part of me that wants to say it every time so people will realize how stupid it will be.
