Researchers are increasingly partnering with patients, clinicians and others who use research to design, conduct, report and disseminate research studies. Today we hear about a conversation that involved over 600 patients, clinicians and carers, who were supported to nominate their top priorities for research on shoulder pain. Kristian Lyng (physiotherapst, PhD student at Aalborg University's Department of Health Science and Technology, and Center for General Practice) led the work as part of his PhD research looking at interventions for shared decision-making in collaboration with patients with subacromial pain syndrome. Kristian discusses the challenges and opportunities in translating research to clinical practice, and the benefits to researchers of engaging patients and the public in doing musculoskeletal research. ------------------------------ RESOURCES Research priorities for atraumatic shoulder pain: https://www.jospt.org/doi/10.2519/jospt.2025.13059 Patients as partners in research - It's the right thing to do: https://www.jospt.org/doi/10.2519/jospt.2019.0106 Help for researchers wanting to engage patients as research partners: https://www.jospt.org/doi/10.2519/jospt.2020.0104 How to talk about compensation with patient partners: https://www.jospt.org/doi/10.2519/jospt.2020.0106 Engaging patients and the public in musculoskeletal research: https://www.jospt.org/doi/10.2519/jospt.2024.12668

Although he did not mention it during his campaign, since taking office, President Donald Trump has repeatedly suggested the U.S. should buy or seize Greenland – the largest island in the world, and part of the Kingdom of Denmark. A U.S. Geological Survey study estimates that there are 31 billion barrels of oil in eastern Greenland, and beneath the ice are also rare earth metals needed for electric cars, batteries, and computers, as well as uranium. We talk to two Greenland experts, Paul Bierman, a professor at the University of Vermont (pictured) and Anne Merrild, who grew up on the island and is now a professor at Aalborg University in Denmark, about what role minerals and oil are playing in the politics – and potential take-over – of Greenland. Local elections on March 11 may help decide whether prohibitions remain on the extraction of oil and gas and uranium on the island.

This week on the podcast we spoke with Drs. Rutger Engels and Ginie Servant-Miklos, who recently staged the "Bildung Climate School," a part-type summer pilot program in Rotterdam, the Netherlands that draws inspiration from the model of the Danish folk high school as described by Lene Rachel Andersen in The Nordic Secret as well as from the microcolleges in the United States. Carefully structured from a research perspective to test pedagogical strategies and program impacts for future prototypes and initiatives, the Bildung Climate School brought together students from differing tracks of the Netherlands' highly stratified post-secondary education system for 2 hours per day for 9 weeks during the summer of 2024. The program they experienced put into practice elements of what Ginie calls "the pedagogies of collapse," combining a frank examination of the sobering ecological and economic challenges facing humanity with embodied artistic and social practices and techniques for working through anxiety, building community, and even having fun.Ginie Servant-Miklos is an engaged environmental educator with fifteen years of experience in education practice, research, and advocacy. She currently holds an Assistant Professorship in behavioural sciences at the Erasmus School of Social and Behavioural Sciences in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. Her research and education work focuses on developing innovative pedagogies for societal impact.

She is a Senior Fellow of the Comenius Network for educational innovators in the Netherlands. She is the founder and chair of the board of the FairFight Foundation, an organisation that provides girls and women from Zambia, Zimbabwe, and India with the mental and physical benefits of martial arts practice, as well as educational support. Ginie is a vocal activist for sustainability and gender equality, advocating for change through public engagements like TEDx talks, debates, podcasts, and other digital media outlets. Ginie obtained a Bachelor of Arts in Politics, Philosophy and Economics from the University of Kent, an LLM in International Law from Kent Law School, an MA in International Relations from Sciences Po Lille, a PhD in Education Philosophy and Psychology from Erasmus University Rotterdam, and a post-doctoral research grant in Sustainability Education from Aalborg University. She was also a visiting professor in Experimental Pedagogics at Tyumen University.Rutger Engels, PhD, is an award-winning full professor in Developmental Psychopathology, at the Erasmus University Rotterdam (EUR), and a board member of the venture philanthropy ‘De Verre Bergen'.

Welcome to the episode 199!: How design and law exclude homelessness from urban spaces?

Mette Mechlenborg, senior researcher at Aalborg University, is the co-author of a new study on life in Danish high-rise residential buildings—the first of its kind in over fifty years. This long gap is partly due to Denmark's historical reluctance to embrace high-rise living, especially for families. However, the landscape is shifting, with several tall towers now rising near Copenhagen's city center and more on the way. So, what has changed since the last study?  In this episode of Let's Talk Architecture, host Michael Booth meets Mette at Nordbro in Nørrebro, one of the buildings featured in her research. Together, they explore the qualities of high-rise living and ask the question: Can Danish families truly live happy and fulfilling lives 100 metres above the ground?  Let's Talk Architecture is a podcast by the Danish Architecture Center.

In this episode, we are joined by Professor Jens Scherpe (Professor of Comparative Law at Aalborg University, and academic door tenant at QEB), and our very own Resolution Cohabitation Committee Chair, Graeme Fraser (Head of Family at William Sturges) to discuss what model of cohabitation law reform should be introduced in England & Wales.   This is a seminal moment for Resolution.  It has been campaigning to achieve family law remedies for cohabitees almost since its inception in 1983, with it being high on its list of priorities since the mid-1990s. The new government has confirmed they are committed to cohabitation reform, so what shape should that take?  What Resolution members know is that the general law is not good enough for families.  If you need convincing, Jens guides us to think - do you think cohabiting families are families? If yes, then you need family law remedies (rather than remedies for people with no connection because purpose of family law (unlike general law) is to address societal, financial and gender imbalances that arise from being a family.    Which model would you support? Do you think, we should: Assimilate the law for cohabitees – so use the same framework that we do for married couples; OR have aDifference model - so there is a clear difference between the remedy for a  cohabiting couple, or a married couple. With all family law remedies, you then need to decide are you: a.      Compensating a partner for the loss they have experienced generated by the relationship; OR b.      Sharing the fruits of the relationship both parties have participated in.  Graeme and Jens explore the law for cohabitees in Scotland, Ireland and Australia to consider the pros and cons of each model.  We then put them on the spot to what they think we should do in England & Wales.  In the conversation, Graeme refers us to the Law Commission report from 2007: https://cloud-platform-e218f50a4812967ba1215eaecede923f.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/sites/30/2015/03/lc307_Cohabitation.pdfAnd the Vision for Family Justice: https://resolution.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Resolution-Vision-for-Family-Justice-full-221123.pdf If you would like to read more about this, then please do look at Jen's books about comparative law: Jens M.

We need to ask ourselves some really tough questions about what our education systems are really doing to support young people to live in a climate changed world of at least 2 degrees of warming. What are the hands-on skills that they will need, but also how are we supporting them to regulate difficult emotions, and build community as we relocalise. This week, Ginie Servant-Miklos is returning to the podcast, this time with her colleague Rutger Engels, to talk about what they are learning through their work implementing critically important ideas in their Bildung Climate School pilots with young people across Rotterdam.  You can find out more about the Bildung Climate School here: https://www.erasmusmagazine.nl/en/2024/05/29/students-of-all-levels-learn-how-to-deal-with-climate-change-challenges-through-dance-and-philosophy/ https://www.instagram.com/bildung_climate_school/ You can also see an overview of the programme here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vS97am09X7bwtKLZfXZrfq-6LuS59W5E/view?usp=sharing For further details on Bildung, go to Lene Rachel Andersen's Nordic Bildung: https://www.nordicbildung.org/ And check out previous episodes with Ginie and Lene on the podcast channel.

Health care practice is slowly transitioning from a paternalistic way of delivering care (doing to the patient) to a shared decision-making model (doing with the patient). Health systems, clinical professions and individual clinicians are at different points along the transition. As a process, shared decision-making provides a scaffold for the patient's values, preferences and circumstances to receive primacy when discussing options, benefits and risks. As a mindset, shared decision-making is a standard of excellence in clinical practice - it ensures your are focused supporting the patient to authentically engage in decisions about their health. Today, Diane Slater, physiotherapist and educator from Aalborg University, Denmark is helping you self-diagnose your shared decision-making practice. Diane shares tips for staying up-to-date with the best information to support quality shared decision-making, which she has honed through her work as a coach and mentor to musculoskeletal health practitioners.

Large pension funds are not just financial giants; they also serve as catalysts for climate action. In Denmark, these pension funds are not only influential but have also committed to reducing emissions as outlined in the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement.The research of Dr Paul Klumpes and Jesper Lindgaard Christensen of Aalborg University focuses on the globe's major pension funds and why they are crucial in the fight against climate change. The project was funded by  the Denmark Government funding body “Independent Research Fund Denmark” 

Jens Laurids Sørensen from Aalborg University, the winner of the Future is Fungi Research Award, introduced the winning project to create the world's first biosynthesized battery. Sørensen said: "Our battery is based on pigments from fungi. So it's the world's first biosynthesized-battery. It is much better than the solutions right now, which are based on mining different metal ions or chemical synthesis based on compounds or chemicals from the oil industry." He said it will likely take around five years for the project to grow from a laboratory setting to the real world, but with vast funding, this could be accelerated significantly. "To also honour the research, we wanted to have the award for uncovering this. We wanted to thoroughly uncover the new-frontier ways we can use fungi for elemental solutions. We want to inspire more research and innovation in this space, and also to commercialise more of this research, get this research off the ground," said Susanne Gløersen, the organiser of the award.

In this episode I have Danish artist, Rebekka Borum on the podcast.  Rebekka and I had an incredible dialogue around her work and her journey as an artist, going from studying technology and design, to working purely analog as a painter. We talked about her evolution as an artist, exploring differing kinds of substrates as well as the evolution in her understanding of her relationship to her creative process.  We dove deep into a discussion around abstraction, math, geometry, and how this kind of visual language can be a gateway to powerful emotional experiences.  Rebekah has such a disciplined and inspiring art practice and I know you all are going to love this episode and love her seeing her work! ------------------------ Rebekka Borum (b. 1992) is a visual artist from Denmark with a BA in Art and Technology from Aalborg University. In her artistic exploration she has developed an abstract, geometric, visual language inspired by mathematical formulas, yet expressed through the analogue medium; paint on canvas. This exploration has evolved throughout the years to be progressively more organic, both in appearance and medium. Drawing inspiration from the microscopic and macroscopic, she is delving into the very meaning of life through her vivid gradients painted on canvas and wooden sculptural objects. Borum's works have been shown in galleries and art institutions several places in Denmark for the last six years, as well as at Knew Conscious Gallery and Ryan Joseph Gallery in Denver, US. In her recent career, she has also created art installations for a hospital and a day care institution.

How do you address the issues related to disadvantaged public housing areas, often affected by high unemployment, crime, and other challenges? The question is common to many cities across Europe. In Denmark the government is combining social and architectural interventions in the most troubled areas: With the ‘parallel society law', up to 60% of existing residents are evicted, and entire housing blocks are being renovated and improved. The aim is to convert troubled housing areas into attractive, safe, and diverse neighborhoods. But can the built environment affect the social issues of a place? And how do the changes affect the residents of the area? These are some of the questions Michael Booth raises in this episode of Let's Talk Architecture, as he joins Marie Stender, anthropologist, and senior researcher at Aalborg University, for a walk in Mjølnerparken, a social housing area in Copenhagen, that is affected by the new law to prevent parallel societies.  Let's Talk Architecture is a podcast produced by the Danish Architecture Center, with sound edits by Munck Studio.

Host Casandra Grundstrom is joined by special guest Entrepreneur  and Associate Professor Shellie Boudreau  formerly from Aalborg University, Denmark. (Note: Shellie is no longer working at Aalborg University but at the time of recording she was). Her main research interests started with biomedical engineering for pain and health technology, but through her passion of communication, a desire to move beyond traditional academic roles was found. Shellie is CEO of the research based start-up Aglance Solutions which is a result of her own pain-based research morphed into a software business called Navigate Pain. Shellie has further pushed her entrepreneurial spirit through a communication-focused company called ContentAvenue with a purpose of overcoming the academic and business gap and effectively communicate science.In this episode, we deviate from some of the expected patterns of this podcast and instead we traverse the boundaries of academia and industry. We reflect on how we can take research-based ideas and transform them into innovations, the trials and tribulations of walking the tightrope of an academic entrepreneur, and learn more about Shellie's experiences doing both all while dealing with some of the taboos of leaving academia.  Sources:Scientific Communication: https://contentavenue.com/  Blog post: https://blog.contentavenue.com/with-great-power-comes-three-reasons-why-scientists-dread-interviews/Navigate Pain Software: https://www.aglancesolutions.com/blog/categories/navigate-pain-software Muracki, J., Kumorek, M., Kisilewicz, A., Pożarowszczyk, B., Larsen, D.

Almost everyone agrees that an Internet connection is essential for full participation in modern American life. That's why our government is spending huge sums to build networks in rural areas and help low-income Americans pay their bills or connect for free. As the burden increases on taxpayers, is it time to rethink how we subsidize broadband? Should Big Tech companies like Google, Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft help foot the bill for the infrastructure needed to use their services? Or should Americans pay additional fees on their Internet bill to help other Americans get online? What other business models might help pay for infrastructure going forward? Evan is joined by Roslyn Layton, Senior Vice President of Strand Consult and visiting researcher at Aalborg University. She is also a nonresident senior fellow at Foundation for American Innovation. You can read her report on broadband cost recovery and her other work at StrandConsult.dk.

In this episode of B2B Marketing: The Provocative Truth, Benedict sits down with Steffen Hedebrandt to discuss what B2B marketers really need to know about the buyer journey and data analysis.While it may seem that B2B marketers are masters of data, the reality is that very few actually understand what's happening at any given moment in the buyer journey. This mostly comes down to marketers not having precise tools and accurate analysis methods to get a clear picture of what's happening. Marketers need to invest in the time and resources to quantify the full buyer journey, but what can marketers do to truly understand the process?Steffen Hedebrandt is the CMO and Co-Founder of Dreamdata, and as a marketer, he is driven by data and specialises in maximising growth and scaling businesses. Prior to co-founding Dreamdata, Steffen held several other senior marketing roles including Head of Marketing at AIRTAME and Country Manager, Nordics at Upwork as well as roles at Elance, Ambidextrous, and more. In addition, Steffen has also worked as a Lecturer for the DJØF, in which he taught Microsoft Excel for students of Aalborg University.You can find Steffen Hedebrandt on Linkedin.You can watch full video versions of the podcast on our YouTube channel.Ready to provoke the truth?

If you've ever dreamed of moving to Scandinavia today's Wild Health podcast might push you over the edge. Our two guests this episode discuss Denmark's extraordinary healthcare model and the interoperability that underpins its success. Professor Janus Laust Thomsen is a Danish GP and leader of Center for General Practice at Aalborg University. He says single patient identifier numbers and a shared communication standard are critical to Denmark's healthcare success. Doctors in all healthcare settings experience seamless transfer of medical data between providers regardless of which patient management system they use. “If a patient moves to another city and a new GP, they will have their health records transferred electronically. As a GP, you almost don't even notice that they are a new patient based on what you can read in their electronic patient journal,” Professor Thomsen said. Professor Jens Søndergaard is also a GP and leads the General Practice Research Unit at the University of Southern Denmark. He says that the national digital communication standard has expanded virtual care and amplified the role of GP as gatekeeper to a community's health. “Denmark is moving advanced diagnostics out to general practice. We have shown that these diagnostic tools can be used in general practice to a high degree of quality and it gives value for the patients,” Professor Søndergaard says. It all sounds very hygge and you will be forgiven for looking up flights to Copenhagen after listening today. But be warned. One of Denmark's data privacy safeguards is personal liability if you let in a hacker. No absolution if you work in government either. Not surprisingly, they've got a great track record for data protection. If moving to Denmark now looks less appealing, perhaps just a visit to the LEGO shop instead? Hosted on Acast.

Camilla has an interesting way of looking at lighting design. Rather than a lighting designer, she calls herself a “darkness designer.” Camilla explains to Michael and John her philosophy on darkness, and how it is revealed with the use of light. Camilla leaves you with a little exercise on how to embrace darkness. Camilla has a bachelor's degree in Design Culture and a master's degree in Lighting Design from Aalborg University in Denmark. She started working as a team manager in a museum in Copenhagen, but continued working on research within light and darkness with Aalborg University and developing lighting on Anholt island in collaboration with the Dark Sky Anholt Association.

A land of fable and fairytale and a primary care system where general practice is ‘the best job in the world'. If you've ever dreamed of moving to Scandinavia today's Tea Room might push you over the edge. Danish GPs earn more, are very highly regarded and get 10 paid days a year to research and boost the quality of the nation's healthcare. What's more, healthcare data is transferred seamlessly between all levels of care regardless of which patient management system a doctor uses. Our two guests today discuss Denmark's extraordinary healthcare model and what underpins its success. Professor Jens Søndergaard is a GP, clinical pharmacologist and, among other research affiliations, leads the General Practice Research Unit at the University of Southern Denmark. He says that a part of a successful healthcare model is financial remuneration. “GPs get a far better salary than hospital specialists. If you want an efficient healthcare system, you need very good doctors who see it as a very interesting career and also financially rewarding,” Professor Søndergaard says. Our second guest, Professor Janus Laust Thomsen, is also a Danish GP and is clinical professor and leader of Center for General Practice at Aalborg University. He says a key part of Denmark's success is the equivalent of a single patient identifier number. This enables “cradle to grave” management of patients who are listed with a GP as soon as they are born. Single patient identifier numbers also enable advantageous funding contracts. Professor Thomsen says that every general practitioner in Denmark has a funding contract with the government which is negotiated by a central organisation for GPs. “We have around 30% reimbursement on listed patients and 70% reimbursement on activities. This structure for reimbursement is negotiated each four years. We also have a very mature digital health system that, combined with our negotiations, gives room for very fast healthcare implementation,” Professor Thomsen says. It all sounds very hygge and you will be forgiven for looking up flights to Copenhagen after listening today. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Though not endangered, many of the world's muskoxen populations are facing threats, ranging from hunting to disease to climate change to animals literally head butting each other and causing brain trauma. And with muskoxen being an extremely valuable source of food and wool, humans have a strong vested interest in protecting them. Today, we explore why muskoxen matter, what issues they face, and how we can conserve them moving forward.

If you've ever seen one of those charts that picture the evolution of life on earth, you might have noticed in the middle there's a little creature that looks very much like a modern shrew. It turns out that shrews are one of our very, very distant ancestors. So scientists who study a unique process in the brains of shrews believe the animals could lead to new ways to treat such human brain diseases as Alzheimer's.

“I think one of the things we should do, and that I am experiencing more and more, is that, in order to think differently we have to look to the past, to find out why we are thinking as we are thinking right now”. Let us welcome Jes Lynning Harfeld, an associate professor of applied ethics at the Centre for Applied Philosophy at Aalborg University, Denmark. Currently, his research focuses on the connections between animal welfare and ethics in the realm of human-animal interactions and the way that language interacts with thinking and character. It was not until Jes's PhD when he came across Peter Singer's Animal Liberation, did he develop an interest in the ethical dilemmas regarding animal welfare. As such, he focused his thesis on the ethical dilemmas of modern agriculture. Querying, what it means to have a find and the different approaches of ethics and how it relates to animals. “Animal welfare understandings as types of interpretations, reading their signals then jumping to conclusions." Jes and Sabrina then discuss the ethics and the varying interpretations of animal welfare, an intrinsically subjective phenomenon, across different audiences. Jes then, using a couple of his papers, explains the development of animal welfare sciences. “Making barriers between disciplines is one of the things that is not a good thing for animal welfare science, we have to break down disciplinary boundaries to do even better animal welfare science” Read about ‘What is animal happiness' HERERead about ‘Rights, solidarity, and the animal welfare state' HERERead about ‘Bearing Witness' by Class Kirchelle HERE Become a member HERE

In large-scale one-off civil infrastructure, decision-making under uncertainty is part of the job, that's just how it is. But, civil engineers don't get the luxury of building 10^6 versions of the bridge, offshore wind turbine or aeronautical structure to consider a relative frequency interpretation! And as you'll hear, challenges don't stop there: you also have to consider natural hazards such as earthquakes, rockfall and typhoons — in case you were wondering, civil engineering is not among the boring jobs! To talk about these original topics, I had the pleasure to host Michael Faber. Michael is a Professor at the Department of Built Environment at Aalborg University, Denmark, the President of the Joint Committee on Structural Safety and is a tremendously deep thinker on the Bayesian interpretation of probability as it pertains to the risk-informed management of big infrastructure. His research interests are directed on governance and management of risks, resilience and sustainability in the built environment — doing all that with Bayesian probabilistic modeling and applied Bayesian decision analysis, as you'll hear.

Today's guest is Noor Shaker – a Syrian serial biotech entrepreneur, computer scientist and inventor.Noor started life in Syria where she fell in love with technology and the potential of Artificial Intelligence. Flouting convention at the time, Noor moved to Europe to continue her studies, gaining a Masters in AI and PhD in Machine Learning. In 2006, she became Assistant Professor at Aalborg University in Denmark with research focused on the use of machine learning in affective computing and video games.Noor then made her way to London and joined Entrepreneur First – the startup incubator/investor where she co-founded GTN (Generative Tensorial Networks), a startup aiming to combine quantum computing and AI for drug discovery. In our conversation today, Noor describes in detail what it felt like to leave her first company and what gave her the courage to move on and start Glamorous AI where she continues her work in AI-enabled drug discovery work. Glamorous AI was acquired by X-Chem at the end of 2021 with Noor taking on the title of Senior Vice President and General Manager, at London Chem-X.In this wide-reaching interview, Noor opens up about what it takes to innovate in well-established scientific spaces, how her AI platform RosalindAI enables drug discovery at a far greater speed and far less cost than traditional methods, the importance of representation, and how losing her mother so young drives her to ensure she leaves behind a legacy that has a positive impact on as many people as possible. Noor is on a dedicated mission to cure disease with the marriage of human and machine learning. And I look forward to watching her achieve this.Here is my conversation with the incredible Noor Shaker.---Noor  Twitter / Glamorous AI / X-ChemDanielle Twitter / Instagram / Newsletter 

The decarbonisation of the heating sector is subject to serious debate. With lots of potential options on the tables, choosing the correct pathway is difficult. Heat pumps, powered by renewables, seems to be the favoured option for the majority of Europe's buildings, but their rollout is slow. District heating and combined heat and power generation are proven alternatives, while the role of the incumbent natural gas is unclear. If it cannot be part of our energy future, is there an effective substitute? In this week's episode of Watt Matters, the team are joined by Alix Chambris, vice president of global public affairs and sustainability at Viessmann, a German manufacturer of heating and cooling systems, and Brian Vad Mathiesen, professor of smart energy systems at Aalborg University in Denmark. We discuss the best ways to decarbonise heating, whether it is a good idea that green hydrogen technologies take on some of the heating demand and how the war in Ukraine is changing perceptions.

The reliability of an application is determined by its weakest link, which often is the wireless link. Channel coding and retransmissions are traditionally used to enhance reliability but at the cost of extra latency. 5G promises to enhance both reliability and latency in a new operational mode called ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC). In this episode, Erik G. Larsson and Emil Björnson discuss URLLC with Petar Popovski, Professor at Aalborg University, Denmark. The conversation pinpoints the physical reasons for latency and unreliability, and viable solutions related to network deployment, diversity, digital vs. analog communications, non-orthogonal network slicing, and machine learning. Further details can be found in the article “Wireless Access in Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communication (URLLC)” (https://doi.org/10.1109/TCOMM.2019.2914652) and its companion video (https://youtu.be/XGbe_ckKKpE).

In this episode, we had a chat with Dr. Huai Wang from Aalborg University, who shares his views on how artificial intelligence will become a very powerful tool for power electronics in reducing design time and accurate decision making. Besides this, he also talks about the growing interest of AI from the industries ensuring reduced time-to-market.

The nation appears to be on the brink of civil war, if not already in it. With polarization as bad as at any time in our nation's history, how can we stop the violence? Discussions about “law and order” ordinarily end up promoting division and triggering historical trauma. Is there a way to stop the cycle of violence and heal victims and perpetrators alike? Can the truth set us free? If so, how do we go about telling the story? And who gets to tell it? As challenging as this time is, with the underbelly of America exposed, there is also an opportunity to see America as it really is. The first step in changing anything is to see it for what it is and then to create a new story that acknowledges the truth and envisions a better future.   One obstacle to change is that systemic racism is not always easy to see, or understand. It is both complicated and deeply enmeshed in the American psyche. It is not a black and white issue (in more ways than one). Structural racism affects everyone, and prevents America from achieving its sacred purpose: unity in diversity. This purpose is enshrined in our Great Seal: E Pluribus Unum, “Out of the many, one”—a beautiful idea, but one that has yet to be realized. There is some good news today. More and more people of all colors are coming together to speak out against racism. The other good news is that white Americans are beginning to change their thinking, and in a compressed time frame. Just months ago, two-thirds of white Americans thought that police mistreatment of people of color was only “a few bad apples.” Now, more than half of white Americans recognize that there is systemic racism in police enforcement. As volatile and ugly as today is, more people see the need for change.  Many unanswered questions remain. Now that white America is beginning to see the extent of systemic racism, how many will act for change and how many will seek to hold onto their  privilege? Who will win the next election and how much effect will that have? In a representational republic, politicians are always a reflection of the people. Is this the time we finally make real progress? Join us as we delve into all of this with our guests Oscar Edwards and David Boje. “When we share all our stories, they are all stories, it's like water, it's one, and it can flow like water. Right now we lack the collective wisdom to do that. Even though (our stories) come from different streams, it is one source.” ~ Oscar Edwards “Why are we doing true storytelling? Because I discovered I grew up in a false history, a false narrative, of what is going on in America, and in the world” ~ David Boje Glenn Aparicio Parry, PhD, of Basque, Aragon Spanish, and Jewish descent, is the author of Original Politics: Making America Sacred Again (SelectBooks, 2020) and the Nautilus award-winning Original Thinking: A Radical Revisioning of Time, Humanity, and Nature (North Atlantic Books, 2015). Parry is an educator, ecopsychologist, and political philosopher whose passion is to reform thinking and society into a coherent, cohesive, whole.

David Boje is what Michel Foucault calls a ‘specific intellectual', an international scholar confronting and deconstructing the ‘regimes of truth' with his own storytelling paradigm. He has written 16 books as well as a myriad of book chapters and peer-reviewed journal articles and been cited in over 5000 books and articles. His most recent books are: True Storytelling (Routledge, Francis & Taylor) with Jens Larsen and Lena Bruun, Doing Conversational Storytelling Interviewing for Your Dissertation ( Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd.) with Grace Ann Rosile. He created the field of “ante-narrative” research, which analyzes all that is antecedent to the creation of western narratives and indigenous living stories.  David Bojeearned his Ph.D. from University of Illinois in 1978, and became assistant professor at Anderson School of Management, UCLA, then became full professor at Loyola Marymount University, earning six teacher of the year awards. He retired in 2018 from New Mexico State University, as Regents Professor and is currently Professor Emeritus. He also teaches qualitative storytelling science methods at Cabrini University in Philadelphia. He helped form the ‘True storytelling' rock band which teaches a loyal fan base of global participants on ‘true storytelling ethics, ensemble leadership and sustainability. Their newest seminar theme (with Oscar Edwards, co-hosting) is “Intercultural Conversations: A Community-Centered Storytelling Experience to Re-story Narratives on Racism.”  Their hope is for a more cooperative, equitable, and just society: find out more on https://true-storytelling.com; https:truestorytelling.org He also convenes the annual “Quantum Storytelling Conference” each December in Las Cruces New Mexico with NMSU Emeritus Professor Grace Ann Rosile.  David is editor-in-chief of the 16 volume Business Storytelling Encyclopedia,  which focuses on topics such as race, gender, ethics, and indigenous studies.

The SHAPE-ID project (Shaping Interdisciplinary Practices in Europe) is funded by the European Commission to develop recommendations and tools for policy makers, funders, researchers, Universities and others on improving interdisciplinary cooperation between the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences (AHSS) and STEMM (Sciences, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics and Medicine) disciplines. Interdisciplinarity in Times of Crisis: Why the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences Matter Immediate responses to the COVID-19 crisis have understandably tended to focus on funding research that can fight the virus. At the same time, our world and ways of living have changed suddenly and radically, and there is a widespread sense that we cannot return to the old “normal”. Panellists will discuss why it remains important to take seriously the perspectives coming from Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences research in times of crisis, and how we can work to ensure real collaboration between these and other scientific approaches in understanding the crisis and preparing for the post-crisis world. Professor Jane Ohlmeyer, Principal Investigator of the SHAPE-ID project, Director of the Trinity Long Room Hub and Chair of the Irish Research Council, will chair the discussion. Panellists Gabi Lombardo is the Director of the European Alliance for Social Sciences and Humanities (www.eassh.eu), the largest advocacy and science policy organisation for social sciences and humanities in Europe.

One way to future-proof your refinery against legislative demands is to expand your capabilities, so your plant can process any type of feedstock to produce on-spec transport fuel. But how mature is the technology for processing alternatives to fossil feedstocks? And, more pressing still, can it turn a profit? Topsoe's Sylvain talks with Professor at Aalborg University Lasse Rosendahl, about his team's research into hydrothermal liquefaction as a means to process fuel from biomass. After the discussion, Sylvain and Mikala share their views on the technologies and discuss realistic timeframes for their commercialization. 

An event co-hosted by Cambridge Family Law and the Cambridge Socio-Legal Group at the Faculty of Law on 12 November 2019.Speaker: Professor Nancy Dowd, David H. Levin Chair in Family Law at the University of Florida Levin College of Law.Professor Dowd will present the core thesis and arguments of her recent book, Reimagining Equality: A New Deal for Children of Color (NYU Press 2018). She argues that children's equality must include developmental equality, meaning that each child should be supported to their full developmental capacity. She will present the three essential parts of the book and then hope to engage in discussion and feedback. She will focus most of her presentation on Part III of the book, which melds the developmental and legal implications of children's inequalities and hierarchies among children. She will suggest strategies for change, which include three possibilities: using existing statutory frameworks, constitutional litigation and affirmative, comprehensive legislation that she calls a New Deal for Children, borrowing from the New Deal of the 1930s in the US.Professor Dowd is the David H. Levin Chair in Family Law at the University of Florida Levin College of Law, and an affiliate of the Anita Zucker Center. She served as Interim Director and Director of the Center on Children and Families at the UF law school from 2007-2015. She currently is a Distinguished Guest Professor at Aalborg University, Denmark, for 2018-2020, and in 2017 was the Fulbright Distinguished Chair in Public International Law at the Raoul Wallenberg Institute of Human Rights and Humanitarian Law and Lund University, Sweden.

Companies have many ways of enticing and incentivizing customers, including through coupons. At the grocery store, this practice is uncontroversial. But in the digital world, zero-rating, sponsored data, and “Internet coupons” have caused an uproar, as critics say they violate net neutrality. Evan is joined by Roslyn Layton, a Ph.D fellow at Aalborg University in Copenhagen. They discuss the debate over zero-rating, its impact on the world, and the prospects for regulation.
