Gene and cohost Tim Swartz present a return appearance from Shannon Taggart. She first became aware of Spiritualism as a teenager, when her cousin received a message from a medium that revealed details about her grandfather's death. In 2001, while working as a photographer, she began taking pictures where that message was received, Lily Dale, New York, home to the world's largest Spiritualist community—proceeding to other such communities as England's Arthur Findlay College. Taggart expected to spend one summer figuring out the tricks of the Spiritualist trade. Instead, Spiritualism's mysterious processes, earnest practitioners, and neglected photographic history became an inspiration. Her project evolved into an eighteen-year journey that has taken her around the world. In this interview, she also discusses the 11th Annual Symposium at Lilly Dale, NY, set for July 23, 2025 through July 26, 2025. Events include: Spoon Bending Party, with Shannon Taggart and guests, The Paranormal Object, with Jack Hunter, The Cinematic Séance: A History of Spiritualism and Film, with Murray Leeder, The Mystery of Gef the Talking Mongoose (really), with Christopher Josiffe, Richard Shaver: A Personal Mythology of Secret Caves and Ancient Rocks, with Doug Skinner, and much more.

Emphasizing diet, exercise and a healthy lifestyle, Dr. Clearfield was the “go to” guy when other physicians, even specialists at NYU and the University of Pennsylvania were baffled, in his adopted hometown of Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Dr. Clearfield graduated from the College of Osteopathic Medicine and Surgery, now Des Moines University, in 1978.  He interned at Metropolitan Hospital in downtown Philadelphia and followed that up with a residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology and Family Medicine. In 1984 he tested and successfully implemented one of the first individualized computer generated diet programs (on an Apple IIc no less) and instituted the Medifast Protein Sparing Modified Weight Loss program at Nesbitt Memorial Hospital in Kingston, Pa. In 1990, a curious combination of family events, a cousin who, after ten years of fertility issues, became pregnant after three sessions, and a chance encounter with a ninety-year-old practitioner from the Peoples Republic of China, on a trip back home, led him to UCLA's Medical Acupuncture Physicians training. Dr. C. took to acupuncture quickly, becoming the second medical doctor in the Wilkes, Barre-Scranton area to offer acupuncture in his practice. He became. Elected to the board of directors as the education director of the American Academy of Medical Acupuncture in 1992, Dr. C began a student with experienced acupuncturists which continue to this day. After election as the Secretary of the American Academy of Medical Acupuncture in 1994, Dr. C obtained his most prized academic degree. The secretary of the AAMA signed the diplomas earned in that session. In short, Dr. Clearfield signed his diploma! His 1992 treatise “Celestial Stems-5 Element Diet and Exercise Program,”  based on Traditional Chinese Medicine dietary laws, was well received in the complementary medicine community. In 1994 Dr. Clearfield established the first combined functional and alternative medicine pain clinic at John Heinz Rehabilitation Hospital in Wilkes-Barre, Pa. He partnered with staff physiatrists, physical therapist, speech pathologist and psychologists to offer a comprehensive pain management program. A 1995 article “Form Follows Function; The Treatment of Musculoskeletal Head and Neck Disease,” is the model used taught today for all shoulder and neck injuries. In 1997 he chaired the 9th Annual Symposium of the American Academy of Medical Acupuncture in Washington, D.C. Dr. C was the fourth licensed osteopathic acupuncture physician in the state of Pennsylvania. Moving his practice to Reno in 2013, Dr. William Clearfield and the Clearfield Medical Group has quickly become the source in which patients turn to when looking for alternative and functional medicine.     Personalised Health Optimisation Consulting with Lisa Tamati Lisa offers solution focused coaching sessions to help you find the right answers to your challenges.

Ben Shneiderman is a leading figure in the field of human-computer interaction (HCI). Having founded one of the oldest HCI research centers in the country at the University of Maryland in 1983, Shneiderman has been intently studying the design of computer technology and its use by humans. Currently, Ben is a Distinguished University Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Maryland and is working on a new book on human-centered artificial intelligence.     I'm so excited to welcome this expert from the field of UX and design to today's episode of Experiencing Data! Ben and I talked a lot about the complex intersection of human-centered design and AI systems.     In our chat, we covered: Ben's career studying human-computer interaction and computer science. (0:30) 'Building a culture of safety': Creating and designing ‘safe, reliable and trustworthy' AI systems. (3:55) 'Like zoning boards': Why Ben thinks we need independent oversight of privately created AI. (12:56) 'There's no such thing as an autonomous device': Designing human control into AI systems. (18:16) A/B testing, usability testing and controlled experiments: The power of research in designing good user experiences. (21:08) Designing ‘comprehensible, predictable, and controllable' user interfaces for explainable AI systems and why [explainable] XAI matters. (30:34) Ben's upcoming book on human-centered AI. (35:55)     Resources and Links: People-Centered Internet: https://peoplecentered.net/ Designing the User Interface (one of Ben's earlier books): https://www.amazon.com/Designing-User-Interface-Human-Computer-Interaction/dp/013438038X Bridging the Gap Between Ethics and Practice: https://doi.org/10.1145/3419764 Partnership on AI: https://www.partnershiponai.org/ AI incident database: https://www.partnershiponai.org/aiincidentdatabase/ University of Maryland Human-Computer Interaction Lab: https://hcil.umd.edu/ ACM Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces: https://iui.acm.org/2021/hcai_tutorial.html Human-Computer Interaction Lab, University of Maryland, Annual Symposium: https://hcil.umd.edu/tutorial-human-centered-ai/ Ben on Twitter: https://twitter.com/benbendc     Quotes from Today's Episode The world of AI has certainly grown and blossomed — it's the hot topic everywhere you go. It's the hot topic among businesses around the world — governments are launching agencies to monitor AI and are also making regulatory moves and rules. … People want explainable AI; they want responsible AI; they want safe, reliable, and trustworthy AI. They want a lot of things, but they're not always sure how to get them. The world of human-computer interaction has a long history of giving people what they want, and what they need. That blending seems like a natural way for AI to grow and to accommodate the needs of real people who have real problems. And not only the methods for studying the users, but the rules, the principles, the guidelines for making it happen. So, that's where the action is. Of course, what we really want from AI is to make our world a better place, and that's a tall order, but we start by talking about the things that matter — the human values: human rights, access to justice, and the dignity of every person. We want to support individual goals, a person's sense of self-efficacy — they can do what they need to in the world, their creativity, their responsibility, and their social connections; they want to reach out to people. So, those are the sort of high aspirational goals that become the hard work of figuring out how to build it. And that's where we want to go. - Ben (2:05)   The software engineering teams creating AI systems have got real work to do. They need the right kind of workflows, engineering patterns, and Agile development methods that will work for AI. The AI world is different because it's not just programming, but it also involves the use of data that's used for training. The key distinction is that the data that drives the AI has to be the appropriate data, it has to be unbiased, it has to be fair, it has to be appropriate to the task at hand. And many people and many companies are coming to grips with how to manage that. This has become controversial, let's say, in issues like granting parole, or mortgages, or hiring people. There was a controversy that Amazon ran into when its hiring algorithm favored men rather than women. There's been bias in facial recognition algorithms, which were less accurate with people of color. That's led to some real problems in the real world. And that's where we have to make sure we do a much better job and the tools of human-computer interaction are very effective in building these better systems in testing and evaluating. - Ben (6:10)     Every company will tell you, “We do a really good job in checking out our AI systems.” That's great. We want every company to do a really good job. But we also want independent oversight of somebody who's outside the company — someone who knows the field, who's looked at systems at other companies, and who can bring ideas and bring understanding of the dangers as well. These systems operate in an adversarial environment — there are malicious actors out there who are causing trouble. You need to understand what the dangers and threats are to the use of your system. You need to understand where the biases come from, what dangers are there, and where the software has failed in other places. You may know what happens in your company, but you can benefit by learning what happens outside your company, and that's where independent oversight from accounting companies, from governmental regulators, and from other independent groups is so valuable. - Ben (15:04)     There's no such thing as an autonomous device. Someone owns it; somebody's responsible for it; someone starts it; someone stops it; someone fixes it; someone notices when it's performing poorly. … Responsibility is a pretty key factor here. So, if there's something going on, if a manager is deciding to use some AI system, what they need is a control panel, let them know: what's happening? What's it doing? What's going wrong and what's going right? That kind of supervisory autonomy is what I talk about, not full machine autonomy that's hidden away and you never see it because that's just head-in-the-sand thinking. What you want to do is expose the operation of a system, and where possible, give the stakeholders who are responsible for performance the right kind of control panel and the right kind of data. … Feedback is the breakfast of champions. And companies know that. They want to be able to measure the success stories, and they want to know their failures, so they can reduce them. The continuous improvement mantra is alive and well. We do want to keep tracking what's going on and make sure it gets better. Every quarter. - Ben (19:41)     Google has had some issues regarding hiring in the AI research area, and so has Facebook with elections and the way that algorithms tend to become echo chambers. These companies — and this is not through heavy research — probably have the heaviest investment of user experience professionals within data science organizations. They have UX, ML-UX people, UX for AI people, they're at the cutting edge. I see a lot more generalist designers in most other companies. Most of them are rather unfamiliar with any of this or what the ramifications are on the design work that they're doing. But even these largest companies that have, probably, the biggest penetration into the most number of people out there are getting some of this really important stuff wrong. - Brian (26:36)   Explainability is a competitive advantage for an AI system. People will gravitate towards systems that they understand, that they feel in control of, that are predictable. So, the big discussion about explainable AI focuses on what's usually called post-hoc explanations, and the Shapley, and LIME, and other methods are usually tied to the post-hoc approach.That is, you use an AI model, you get a result and you say, “What happened?” Why was I denied a parole, or a mortgage, or a job? At that point, you want to get an explanation. Now, that idea is appealing, but I'm afraid I haven't seen too many success stories of that working. … I've been diving through this for years now, and I've been looking for examples of good user interfaces of post-hoc explanations. It took me a long time till I found one. The culture of AI model-building would be much bolstered by an infusion of thinking about what the user interface will be for these explanations. And even the DARPA's XAI—Explainable AI—project, which has 11 projects within it—has not really grappled with this in a good way about designing what it's going to look like. Show it to me. … There is another way. And the strategy is basically prevention. Let's prevent the user from getting confused and so they don't have to request an explanation. We walk them along, let the user walk through the step—this is like Amazon checkout process, seven-step process—and you know what's happened in each step, you can go back, you can explore, you can change things in each part of it. It's also what TurboTax does so well, in really complicated situations, and walks you through it. … You want to have a comprehensible, predictable, and controllable user interface that makes sense as you walk through each step. - Ben (31:13)

Inspired by recently unveiled controversial portraits of King Charles III and Catherine, Princess of Wales, Brandon Zech and Gabriel Martinez discuss portraiture's privileged place in art history. "For the entire history of portraiture, the goal has been to depict the person as they are because it has been the only way for us to be able to tell how people looked. But now that images of famous people can be ubiquitously found on the internet, artists have a little more freedom to play with the idea of what a portrait is."

Host Julia Patrick welcomes Muhi Khwaja, one of the trainers at the Fundraising Academy at National University and Co-founder of the American Muslim Community Foundation (AMCF), and he provides insights on board treasurer selection, post-event practices, board onboarding, and board recruitment. They begin by discussing the importance of finding the right treasurer for a nonprofit board. Muhi emphasizes the need to look for candidates with experience in nonprofit finance, compliance, and audit procedures. He suggests checking if potential treasurers have filed Form 990s, worked with nonprofits before, and have a CPA background. Next, they address best practices for post-event activities, particularly after a gala. Muhi highlights the significance of stewardship in the donor cycle. He recommends sending personalized thank-you notes or emails to event attendees and donors, conducting surveys to gather feedback, and promptly following up with attendees and potential donors to build meaningful relationships. Muhi also shares insights into onboarding new board members. He emphasizes the importance of a structured orientation process and discusses AMCF's practice of having annual meetings and strategic planning sessions to reinforce board members' roles and responsibilities. Julia and Muhi then explore a unique question about whether the CEO or Executive Director of a nonprofit should have a vote on the board, agreeing that it's generally not advisable for the CEO to have voting power on the board to maintain a clear separation of powers and avoid potential conflicts of interest. The conversation shifts to AMCF's current board recruitment efforts. Muhi explains that they are actively seeking board members with specific skill sets, such as marketing, philanthropy, and web development, to contribute to the organization's growth. They also use a mentor-mentee approach to help new board members adapt to their roles. Lastly, Muhi discusses AMCF's upcoming event, the Muslim Philanthropy Awards and Annual Symposium. Scheduled for November 18th, 2023, the event celebrates Muslim-led organizations and explores the topic of endowments in philanthropy.

As facilitators, we often find ourselves planning and leading activities to engage our participants and help them achieve their goals. However, do we need to share the names of these activities with our participants? While it's important to provide clear instructions and objectives for each activity, the name of the activity itself is not always necessary. So, what is the purpose of activity names? One might argue that activity names serve as a way to categorize and organize different types of activities. However, it's important to remember that not all activities need to fit neatly into certain thematic buckets. In fact, sometimes activities that are seemingly unrelated can be just as effective in achieving a particular goal. For instance, a fun icebreaker game that has nothing to do with teamwork might actually help break down barriers and create a more relaxed and open atmosphere among participants. Moreover, activities that are overly prescriptive can actually hinder creativity and limit the potential outcomes. Instead of feeling constrained by the name or description of an activity, facilitators can encourage participants to approach the task with an open mind and think outside the box.

The League of Agricultural and Equine Centers promotes and supports facility management, brings people together, and offers a network of experts that bring awareness of best practices, new developments, and looks to the horizon to prepare for the future. Cammie Pearson & Joe La Follette join the Cowboys to talk about the complexities of running an equine event facility. From horse sh….um, manure to staffing to biosecurity. We learn how the League supports the industry through education, networking, and problem solving. Their annual symposium will be hosted February 6-10, 2023 in Ocala, FL. The League creates a family network feel to a competitive sector of the equine industry with the ultimate goal of unifying event venues in a way that leads to greater consistency in customer service and procedures across the nation. As the shutdowns from Covid proved, working together makes everyone better and aids the entire equine community by sharing knowledge rather than hoarding it.

The brain is arguably one of the most complex objects known to science. How best to understand it? That is a trick question: brains are organized at many levels and attempts to grasp them all through one approach — be it micro, macro, anatomical, behavioral — are destined to leave out crucial insights. What more, thinking “vertically” across scales, one might miss important angles from another discipline along the “horizontal” axis. For inquiries too big to sit within one field of knowledge, maybe it is time we resurrected the salon: a mode of scientific exploration that levels hierarchies of expertise and optimizes for more complementary and high-dimensional, egalitarian, communal discourse. As with the Jainist philosophic principle anekantavada — how many blind people does it take to grok an elephant? — neuroscience is perhaps best practiced as innately and intensely multiperspectival…Welcome to COMPLEXITY, the official podcast of the Santa Fe Institute.

Trauma Responses: Beyond Fight or Flight Childhood trauma can trigger a chronic “fight or flight” response, even when children are placed in safe, loving foster homes. How do caregivers deal with that response to build relationships? At Utah Foster Care's Annual Symposium, Dr. George Thompson provided insight into how a trauma-informed system of care can play a critical role in establishing a sense of safety. A full re-cap of our Symposium can be found on our blog here. Dr. Thompson is a child psychiatrist devoted to assisting families and healthcare organizations to build emotionally safe, curious, collaborative, and coherent cultures that transform trauma into wisdom. He, along with co-author Marilyn Sanders, is the author of the recent book, Polyvagal Theory and the Developing Child: Systems of Care for Strengthening Kids, Families, and Communities. Thompson serves on the advisory board of the Polyvagal Institute and is treasurer of the board of directors of the Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy Institute. He and his team are creating a model youth psychiatric residential program, the Thompson Centers for Heroic Change.

Well, this was actually going to be an off month for the podcast given all the events taking place.

William Sarradet and Brandon Zech discuss the current speculation around figurative art, and how artists are impacted when their works sell for exorbitant prices. "We pay a lot of attention to the flippers and the markets, but we don't think about what it's doing to the artists, because they're contradictorily the people with the least power, even though it's their work." See related readings here: https://glasstire.com/2022/06/05/art-dirt-on-speculation-art-flipping-and-the-market Today's podcast is sponsored in part by CASETA, the Center for the Advancement and Study of Early Texas Art, and their 18th Annual Symposium and Texas Art Fair happening Friday, June 10 through Sunday, June 12 at the Hilton Lincoln Centre in Dallas.
