In this "Another Mini-Brandt Rant" episode, Brandt and Will discuss the progress made in event accessibility during the COVID-19 pandemic and how it has feels like it regressed. They highlight the importance of captioning services, which became more accessible and affordable with AI advancements. However, they note that these technologies have fallen out of favor as events returned to in-person formats, leaving behind some of the inclusivity gains made during the pandemic. The conversation emphasizes the broader benefits of accessibility features which can aid not just people with disabilities but frequently improve the event for the majority of attendees as well.Discussions Include:Progress and Regression in Accessibility: The hosts reflect on how COVID accelerated the adoption of accessibility technologies like captioning but lament that these practices have largely been abandoned in the return to in-person events.Technological Advancements: They discuss how AI has improved captioning services, making them more affordable and efficient, though still not as reliable as human transcription.Broader Benefits of Accessibility: The conversation highlights that features like captioning benefit a wide audience, including those with hearing difficulties, language barriers, or simply preferring visual aids.Future-Proofing Events: The hosts suggest investing in technologies that can capture and stream content from events, enhancing accessibility and providing valuable resources for attendees.Quotable Quotes:"I think one of the things that during COVID, we started to see, you know, every platform put in at least some basic level of captioning, whether it was auto-generated or otherwise." - Brandt Krueger"People with difficulty hearing would literally call these services 'craptioning' at the time because they were so bad." - Brandt Krueger"For the first time, a lot of people with accessibility issues felt like they were on even ground with all other attendees, right? Because we were all attending from our living rooms and our bedrooms." - Brandt Krueger"Like a lot of attendees, I might want to turn it on just because of the fact that like, you know, every once in a while there's a word I might miss." - Will Curran

Clinical psychologist Dr Julie Smith has a gift for explaining complex ideas in under a minute (which is GREAT for new-age attention spans). With over 4.8 million TikTok followers, two best-selling books and a glowing endorsement from our own Dr Em, having Dr Julie join our Academy of Imperfection is nothing short of a dream. In this episode, Dr Julie reframes the feeling of overwhelm, helping us to see it as valuable information about how we might not be meeting our needs, rather than something to fear. Then, it’s all about confidence, baby. Getting into the nitty-gritty, Ryan and Dr Julie redefine failure, showing how confidence isn’t just built from successes, but from every experience – good, bad and (luckily for Hugh) the awkward. Oh, and did we mention she’s Dr Em approved? Smithy, we’d gladly talk to you forever. If you want to watch this full episode on YouTube, follow this link: https://bit.ly/4iwtFwz

Anna Tylor is the chair of trustees for the Royal National Institute of Blind people (RNIB), she's a fierce champion for equity in healthcare and an extraordinary advocate for accessibility. She's an organisational and business expert, a trained mediator and author, blogger and fellow podcaster. Born with Albinism, Anna was born partially sighted and experienced sight loss, at which point she was registered as certified severely sight impaired. This classification is also described as blind, though Anna would say she does have some 'useful sight'.She self-educated while raising a child, later working with major organisations to drive inclusivity, from the police force to banking, and even revolutionising access to audiobooks and digital libraries.More recently, Anna was diagnosed with breast cancer, she is now, two and a half years in remission. Her diagnosis exposed shocking gaps in healthcare accessibility for blind and partially sighted people, from vital information being inaccessible through to serious risks to patient safety. Her experience has made her a passionate voice for women advocating for themselves in healthcare and pushing for a more equitable system.Anna is knowledgeable and is a power-house for positivity and change, we loved spilling the tea with her We discuss Google and Apple calendars wiping off not just the history of women but of men as well, we share your comments, there's a new strutting WI (weekly invitation) and a little bit of inspiration to send you off with for the week.It's an episode brimming with chat and all the usual sweary shenanigans!

Diet culture isn't a one-size-fits-all experience—each generation has been shaped by different messaging, trends, and fears around food and bodies. In this episode, I'm breaking down how Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z have been uniquely impacted by shifting diet culture narratives. From the low-fat craze and calorie counting of Gen X to Millennials' obsession with "clean eating" and wellness, and Gen Z's complicated relationship with body positivity and social media, we'll explore how these cultural shifts affect the way we think about food, movement, and self-worth. Why does this matter? Because understanding these generational influences can help us unlearn harmful patterns and move toward a more liberated relationship with our bodies. Let's get into it!

Send us a textSickle cell disease, a genetic disorder affecting thousands, presents a daily struggle akin to having shards of glass tearing through one's veins. Despite breakthrough gene therapies approved by the FDA, the prohibitive cost of $2.2 million per treatment limits their accessibility.In the latest episode of the Smart Biotech Scientist Podcast, host David Brühlmann discusses five critical challenges the bioprocessing industry must overcome to make these life-saving therapies accessible to a broader population.Moving Away from Platform TechnologiesTraditional bioprocessing has relied heavily on platform technologies, particularly in the production of antibodies. This conventional method involves cultivating cells in bioreactors, predominantly CHO cells, followed by a series of purification steps. This well-established process is now being disrupted by new modalities that cannot adhere to this template. As the industry progresses, creating flexible and scalable systems compatible with novel therapies becomes essential.Increased Personalization and Smaller Batch SizesThe rise of personalized medicine is another formidable challenge. Treatments like autologous cell therapy, which involves extracting and cultivating the patient's cells before reintroducing them, require highly customized approaches. Each patient essentially represents a batch size of one, making automation difficult and leading to manual, paper-driven processes. This shift from large-scale manufacturing to smaller, lab-like settings demands innovation in bioprocessing equipment and methodologies to maintain efficiency and quality.Cultivating Sensitive CellsAs bioprocessing diversifies, the cultivation of increasingly sensitive cells has become a significant hurdle. Unlike the robust CHO cells, newer cell types require gentler handling and innovative bioreactor designs. Startups like Kolibri, Biothrust, and Green Elephant Biotech are pioneering novel bioreactor technologies to address these needs. From acoustic wave bioreactors to stress-free cultivation conditions and minimal-space cell screws, these innovations aim to provide the optimal environment for sensitive cells to thrive.The Cell as the ProductThe complexity of the products has exponentially grown. While an antibody weighs roughly 150 kDa, a single cell weighs a staggering 10 to the power of 14th Da, making it a billion times more massive. This increase in complexity translates to heightened production challenges, monitoring, and quality control to ensure each cell-based product meets therapeutic standards. The industry must develop refined processes and technologies to manage and scale the production of these intricate cellular products effectively.Accessibility and Cost ChallengesPerhaps the most pressing issue is the prohibitive cost of advanced therapies. Despite the existence of revolutionary treatments for conditions like severe asthma and sickle cell disease, the high price tags render them inaccessible to most patients globally. For instance, in the CAR T cell therapy space, only 21,000 out of an estimated 900,000 eligible patients have received treatment due to financial constraints. Addressing these cost barriers is crucial to expanding the reach of these life-saving therapies.Innovative Approaches and Collaborative EffortsAs discussed in the podcast, industry leaders from academia, small companies, and big pharma are actively seeking solutions to these challenges. Collaborative efforts are essential to drive innovation and reduce manufacturing costs. By focusing on scalable, cost-effective, and high-quality production methods, the industry can move towards wider accessibility of advanced therapies. Ensuring that breakthroughs in bioprocessing translat
