AI isn't just writing emails and generating pictures anymore - it's starting to design the molecules that go into our bodies. In this special episode of Disconnected, we sit down with young scientist Jay Wang to explore how generative AI is helping create new proteins, accelerate drug discovery, and whether we should be concerned about bioweapon risks and health inequality.We also end the episode with a wonderfully weird look into the emerging world of AI that tries to open up two-way communications with whales, cows, and maybe even your dog.This episode of Disconnected covers:AI in Drug Discovery and Synthetic BiologyThe New Bottlenecks in MedicineDual-Use and Biosecurity RisksHealth Data, Inequality, and SurveillanceDecoding Animal Communication with AIJag Sharma: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jagsharmahttps://www.instagram.com/jagsharma/Jen Campbell:https://www.linkedin.com/in/jennifer-m-campbell/Jason Kapadia:https://www.linkedin.com/in/jasonkapadia/https://www.instagram.com/jasonkapadia/Felina Tan:https://www.linkedin.com/in/felinagabrielletan/Matt Webster:https://www.linkedin.com/in/mattwwebster/

Send us Fan Mail“We don't have any money” is one of the most common arguments association leaders hear at the bargaining table—but what if the numbers tell a completely different story?CPA Wade Steen joins us to break down how law enforcement associations and police unions can dissect government financials, uncover reserves, track fund transfers, and use audited financial statements to strengthen contract negotiations. Wade explains how to read an Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR), understand the general fund, identify key financial ratios and determine whether a city is truly struggling—or simply choosing not to prioritize competitive police pay.We also examine police and corrections pay disparities, government budgeting practices, and real-world wins where following the money helped association leaders secure meaningful raises. If you negotiate wages, represent law enforcement employees, or want to understand what city officials aren't saying at the bargaining table, this episode gives you the financial tools to ask better questions and fight with facts.Support the showemail us at- bluegrit@tmpa.org

When Senate Bill 6045 failed to get a vote during the last legislative session in Olympia, many were relieved that giving collective bargaining rights to Washington farm workers was shelved for now.

All three parties in the governing coalition increased their vote share while the Sweden Democrats lost ground.On the left, meanwhile, the Social Democrats had a terrible election, while all the other parties had something to celebrate.So why did the government parties do better than expected? What went wrong for the two biggest parties on the right and left?And what is Sweden's next government likely to look like? Nicholas Aylott, associate politics professor at Södertörn University, gives his views in a conversation with The Local's Richard Orange.  READ ALSO:Centre Party 'ready to start talks' with Social Democrats on new Swedish government Become a member at https://www.thelocal.se/podcasts/podcast-offer?tpcc=padlock.

What does it say about a training system when childcare can eat up almost half a resident's monthly salary — and the physicians doing essential clinical work have almost no ability to negotiate their pay or benefits? A recent House Judiciary Committee report argues that the Match suppresses resident compensation and bargaining power. But if the Match disappeared tomorrow, would residents actually get paid more? Join Mckenzie Roebuck, Maya Hunt, Nicole Santucci, and Michael Kabbash of CoSEF as they unpack resident pay and benefits, where GME funding actually goes, why residency is not a normal labor market, and where real leverage for change might come from.Hosts: Dr. Mckenzie Roebuck, CoSEF BTK Lead, Inova Fairfax Medical Campus, mckenzie.rowe@inova.org, insta @mrowemd, X @mrowemd1  Dr. Maya Hunt, Indiana University, mayahunt@iu.edu  Dr. Nicole Santucci, Washington University in St. Louis, snicole@wustl.edu  Dr. Michael Kabbash, University of Florida, michel.kabbash@surgery.ufl.edu, X @MichaelKabbash CoSEF: X @surgedfellows, cosef.org Learning objectives: Summarize the congressional report's arguments about resident compensation and bargaining power  Explain how GME funding supports residency and why federal GME dollars do not map directly onto resident salaries  Describe how salary and benefit structures affect residents' financial well-being, family planning, and quality of life  Identify institutional, policy, and collective strategies to strengthen resident compensation and bargaining power.  References: House Committee on the Judiciary.

Welcome back to the Vlog. Today, we are joined by Dr. Annie McClanahan (Associate Professor of English at UC Irvine) to discuss her groundbreaking book, Beneath the Wage: Tips, Tasks, and Gigs in the Age of Service Work.While some spaces on the internet are still stuck rehashing old 19th-century debates about whether service workers even count as part of the working class, our current economic reality shows that services account for 60% to 80% of the entire workforce. The standard, hourly guaranteed wage that we treat as a permanent fixture of capitalism was actually just a brief 20th-century historical anomaly tied to the rise of mechanized assembly lines.In this episode, we trace how capital today is returning to sub-wage, piece-rate, and platform tasks to squeeze marginal productivity out of a stagnant economy. We lay bare the explicit mechanics of modern labor exploitation:The Tipping Subversion: How tips function as an algorithmic tool for enforced self-management while systematically offloading the fixed and variable capital burdens of a business directly onto consumers.Algorithmic Workplace Surveillance: Tracing the history of tracking from long-haul trucking to modern delivery apps. We expose how workers are disciplined, black-boxed, and deprioritized by digital parameters that mask raw domination as individual flexibility.The Precariat Fallacy: Why insecure, independent contractor status isn't a uniquely modern phenomenon, but rather the default historical mode of proletarian employment dating back to 18th-century domestic service laws.Bargaining for the Common Good: Why service stoppages among teachers, nurses, and hospitality workers carry immense regional leverage because they disrupt social reproduction, forcing a complete rethink of class consciousness.We also explore the qualitative landscape of the service economy by looking at unique cultural texts, from trashy reality TV shows that expose the performative nature of emotional labor to underpaid Amazon Mechanical Turk workers writing poetry for conceptual art.Dr. Annie McClanahan's book, Beneath the Wage, is out now from Zone Books.Send us Fan Mail Musis by Bitterlake, Used with Permission, all rights to BitterlakeSupport the showCrew:Host: C.

Recorded 22 June 2026 In Part 2 of our latest episode of Inside IR, industrial relations partner Rohan Doyle and Melbourne Business School Professor Jennifer Overbeck continue their discussion on the evolving enterprise bargaining landscape, exploring how employers, unions and employees can move beyond short-term, power-based bargaining and invest in negotiation processes that create sustainable value for all parties. They discuss practical approaches to navigating BATNAs, managing the threat of industrial action, building trust throughout the bargaining process, and communicating effectively with employees during negotiations. This episode forms part of our ongoing collaboration with Melbourne Business School through the Industrial Relations Negotiations Program, which equips leaders with the skills needed to negotiate more effectively in today's industrial relations environment.

God's generosity is a gift you receive by faith. In Romans 4, Paul distinguishes wages from grace; in Matthew 20, the vineyard workers resent a landowner who gives freely to those who arrived last. You may be secure in your salvation and still feel you must pray enough to deserve God's help. That pressure can turn prayer into a bargain and the Father into an employer. Receive what Christ has supplied, enjoy fellowship with the Father, and let your work and generosity flow from gratitude.

Rideshare Rodeo Podcast (episode 609)  Guest Lori Simmon September 10th, 2026  TOPICS: Intro to Lori Chicago App Worker Situation Sectoral Bargaining Chicago Delivery Protection Act  

News industry leaders weigh whether pressure to repeal Canada's Online News Act could threaten newsroom funding and weaken publishers' push for platform compensation worldwide. Could a deal to ease the U.S.-Canada trade war let Big Tech off the hook for funding news? Canada's Online News Act has secured millions for journalism, but publishers fear that support could become a bargaining chip in negotiations with Washington. For newsrooms receiving the money, the stakes are immediate; for publishers elsewhere, the outcome could shape their own fight for compensation. Four industry and policy leaders joined E&P Reports: Paul Deegan, president and CEO of News Media Canada, Neil Quinter, senior vice president of the News/Media Alliance, Hugh Stephens, a distinguished fellow with the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada and executive fellow at the University of Calgary and Stig Ørskov, CEO of WAN-IFRA to examine the threat, challenge the trade arguments and explain why this Canadian battle matters far beyond its borders.

Most of us think we're good at reading people — until something hits a nerve. Here's the quiet truth: you already know the truth about the person you're trying to figure out. You've just decided to believe the promise instead of the pattern. In this episode, I break down the difference between a pattern (what's already happened, more than once, without you asking) and a promise (what only lives in words) — and why reasonable, thoughtful people are the ones who stay the longest. It's not a romance problem. It's the same move in love, in friendship, and in business. I tell you the true stories that taught me this the hard way — including the fraudulent buyer we gave grace to for months while she quietly took everything, and why we let it happen: we weren't believing her, we were believing the sale. A promise gets its power not from the person making it, but from how badly you want it to be true. If you caught Episode 99, this is its companion — that one was about the conversations you replay; this one is about the promises you keep believing anyway.

Creative business setbacks can feel deeply personal. Losing a client, seeing a project fail, struggling with cash flow, facing lower bookings or watching your industry change can all create an emotional reaction. In this episode, we use the Kubler-Ross grief cycle as a practical business lens for freelancers, artists and creative business owners. The aim is not to treat business setbacks as medical grief, but to help you recognise emotional stages such as denial, anger, bargaining, self-doubt and acceptance, so you can adapt and keep moving forward.About this episodeThe Kubler-Ross grief cycle was originally used to describe emotional stages after loss. In this episode, we apply that model to the creative business journey. For creatives, setbacks often carry extra emotional weight. Your work is personal. Your ideas, skills and reputation are tied closely to what you create. When a client leaves, a commission is cancelled, funding disappears, or your market changes, it can feel like a rejection of you as well as the work. We break the grief cycle down stage by stage, using creative examples, so you can recognise what is happening, avoid getting stuck, and respond with clearer action.Why this mattersRunning a creative business is not only about talent. It is also about resilience, adaptability and financial awareness. If you ignore a setback, it can delay action. If you stay angry, it can drain your energy. If you bargain your worth away, it can damage your income. If self-doubt takes over, it can stop you from seeing the next step. Recognising these stages helps you respond instead of react. It gives you a way to pause, understand what you are feeling, and choose a practical way forward.“The key takeaway, don't get stuck. Keep moving forward, learn, adapt, and grow.”Key points from this episodeDenial can delay actionDenial is often the first reaction when something goes wrong. You may tell yourself that a cancelled commission is just a one-off, that work will pick up soon, or that nothing really needs to change. That reaction is understandable, but it can be risky. If your industry is shifting, your audience is changing, or your income stream is weakening, waiting too long can make the problem worse. The sooner we recognise reality, the sooner we can adapt. That might mean exploring digital platforms, testing new revenue streams, changing how we showcase work, or reviewing where clients are coming from.Anger can be useful if it is channelledCreative work is personal. When your business is disrupted, it can feel like a personal attack. A musician earning very little through streaming platforms may understandably feel frustrated. An artist dealing with a cancelled project may feel unfairly treated. That anger is real, but staying there too long can lead to burnout and emotional strain. Used well, anger can drive change. It can push you to rethink how you distribute work, raise awareness, improve your offer, or take more control of your creative business model.Bargaining can lead to poor decisionsBargaining is the “what if I try this?” stage. For a freelance photographer, that may mean dropping prices when bookings fall. For a performer, it may mean accepting unpaid work because it promises profile or exposure. Sometimes a change in offer or pricing may be sensible. However, if you bargain away your worth without a clear strategy, you can end up exhausted with very little financial gain. This connects closely with how we think about unpaid creative work. Our episode on Getting Paid on Time is a useful next step if you want to protect your income and payment habits.Self-doubt does not mean failureThe low point of the cycle can be difficult. A theatre company that loses funding may feel defeated. A designer with no clients may start questioning their career. A creative business owner may wonder whether they are good enough. That does not mean you have failed. It means something needs attention. Taking a step back, seeking mentorship, reviewing your numbers, exploring new income streams and asking for support can help you move from self-doubt into action. Our episode on How to cope with business failure gives wider support for handling business setbacks without letting them define you.Acceptance means adapting, not giving upAcceptance does not mean you agree with everything that has happened. It does not mean giving up either. It means recognising the reality of your situation and choosing your next move. An independent filmmaker may test short-form content. A painter may explore digital commissions. A creative business owner may rethink how people consume, buy or engage with their work. Creativity is about adaptability. Once we accept what has changed, we can look for new paths instead of staying stuck in old assumptions.How creatives can use the grief cycle in businessThe grief cycle gives you a way to name what may be happening emotionally during business change. Ask yourself:Am I ignoring something I need to face?Am I angry, and can I channel that into useful action?Am I discounting, overworking or bargaining away my value?Am I stuck in self-doubt instead of asking for help?Have I accepted what has changed, and what can I do next?These questions do not remove the difficulty, but they help you move through it with more awareness.FAQsWhat is the grief cycle in business?The grief cycle in business is a way of understanding emotional reactions to change, loss or setbacks. In a creative business, this might include losing a client, cancelled funding, lower bookings, a failed project or changes in how your audience buys creative work.How does denial affect a creative business?Denial can stop you from acting early. You may ignore lost income, changes in the market or signs that your current approach is no longer working. Recognising reality sooner gives you more time to adapt.Why do creative setbacks feel so personal?Creative work is often tied to identity, skill and personal expression. When a project fails or a client leaves, it can feel like a rejection of you as well as the work. That is why emotional awareness matters.What should creatives avoid during the bargaining stage?Avoid automatically lowering prices, accepting unpaid work or overpromising just to replace lost work quickly. Adaptation can be useful, but it should not come at the cost of your value, energy or financial stability.What does acceptance mean in a creative business?Acceptance means recognising what has changed and choosing a practical response. It may involve new platforms, different services, fresh income streams, collaboration, financial planning or a new way of reaching your audience.Episode Timecodes00:00 – The grief cycle and creative business00:30 – How the model applies beyond personal loss01:00 – Business setbacks that trigger emotional reactions01:20 – Denial and the danger of delaying action02:00 – Anger, frustration and creative disruption02:50 – Bargaining, discounting and undervaluing your work03:38 – Self-doubt after business setbacks04:13 – Acceptance, adaptation and new creative paths04:50 – Learning, adapting and moving forward05:19 – Community, resources and financial planning supportRelated episodesClosing Your Business: Managing the Emotional ImpactHow to cope with business failureBusiness distress: How to manage itKey takeawayCreative business setbacks can be painful, but they do not have to keep you stuck.

As enterprise bargaining becomes increasingly complex, many organisations are rethinking how they prepare for negotiations. In part 1 of our latest episode of Inside IR, industrial relations partner Rohan Doyle and Melbourne Business School Professor Jennifer Overbeck explore the changing enterprise bargaining landscape, the shifting balance of bargaining power, the role of identity and trust in negotiations, and practical strategies organisations can use to prepare for bargaining more effectively.

Welcome to Schauer Thoughts, this episode we're taking a long and winding journey through the land of loss and grief. I do appreciate everyone's patience as this episode is going out Thursday - I sincerely hope you enjoy it. I would also like to take the time to thank everyone who's been so kind to me, we are strangers and the internet can be so cruel, but you guys haven't been. I know sad comments get me down sometimes but I also see the kind messages and those have profoundly impacted me. I am grateful for y'alls kindness, support, and even just your time. I hope nothing but good things for each and every one of you - if you are grieving, please do not rush yourself, but know that there are options to “unstick,” even just for a moment. I am sending all the positive vibes I can muster and I can't wait to chat next week. Also, no pressure, but if you'd like to see me do stand up, this is the link for the show! I'm nervous but excited and can't wait to get back into in-person comedy.

Today, we're bringing you an episode from another podcast in the FT stable: The Economics Show with Soumaya KeynesFor decades, China accelerated its industrial development through a straightforward bargain: foreign firms invested in China, often through joint ventures, gaining access to the enormous Chinese market, while Chinese companies absorbed western tech and knowhow. Today, that dynamic is changing. China's high-tech industries are now world-leading, and western governments are looking on enviously. So should the US and EU now take a page from China's playbook? Host Soumaya Keynes speaks to John Minnich, assistant professor of international relations at LSE, about the history of Chinese tech transfer, how it drove industrial sophistication and whether the west could — or should — attempt something similar.Listen to more from The Economics Show: podfollow.com/economics-showFurther ReadingHow China pulled off a great tech reversalEU to include UK and Japan in ‘Made in Europe' plansJohn Minnich: Divide and Conquer: Industry Market Structure, Inter-Firm Rivalry, and Bargaining over TechnologyPresented by Soumaya Keynes.

Rory McGowan talks to Ben Smye from hotukdeals, a community of people who share and rate deals on all sorts of different experiences and products, about new research regarding Brits' holidays this year, and how 20% are already saying that a summer holiday is out of the question for them already.They also talk about how to moderate a platform like this, to ensure that the deals they promote are real and legitimate.

John Maytham speaks to Professor Yossi Mekelberg, international relations analyst at Chatham House, about escalating tensions between the United States and Iran, President Donald Trump's ultimatum to Tehran, and whether the crisis is heading towards renewed negotiations or a broader conflict. Presenter John Maytham is an actor and author-turned-talk radio veteran and seasoned journalist. His show serves a round-up of local and international news coupled with the latest in business, sport, traffic and weather. The host’s eclectic interests mean the program often surprises the audience with intriguing book reviews and inspiring interviews profiling artists.

"You just need to let it go." It's one of the most common pieces of advice people receive after betrayal. And one of the least helpful. Because if letting go were simply a decision, you would have done it already. So why is it so difficult? In this episode of After the Affair, Luke Shillings explores what people are really talking about when they say they "can't let go." Is it the affair? The person? The marriage? Or is something much deeper keeping you anchored to the past? You'll discover why the affair didn't just damage your relationship—it shattered the future you believed you were going to have. From the holidays you imagined, to the retirement you planned, to the quiet confidence you once had in your life together, betrayal doesn't simply rewrite your past. It forces you to grieve a future that no longer exists. Most importantly, this episode explores the difference between letting go of what happened and letting go of what you thought was going to happen. Because those are two very different things. And understanding that difference may change the way you see your healing forever. In This Episode You'll Learn Why "just let it go" is often unhelpful advice What you're actually struggling to let go of after betrayal How infidelity doesn't just rewrite the past, it changes the future you imagined Why grief after an affair is often grief for possibilities, not just memories The difference between holding onto the affair and holding onto the life you expected Why your brain keeps trying to negotiate a future that no longer exists How bargaining quietly keeps many people emotionally stuck Why acceptance isn't approval What letting go actually looks like in healthy recovery How making space for grief creates space for rebuilding A Powerful Question From This Episode "Am I trying to let go of the affair… or am I trying to let go of the future I believed I was going to have?" Because those are not the same thing. One is an event. The other is the loss of an imagined life. And until you know which one you're grieving, it's incredibly difficult to move forward. Key Takeaways ✅ Letting go isn't a switch you simply choose to flip. ✅ Most betrayed partners aren't just grieving the affair—they're grieving the future they believed they were building. ✅ The affair often destroys certainty, identity, and imagined possibilities as much as the relationship itself. ✅ Bargaining with the past is a natural stage of grief, but it can quietly become a place where people remain stuck. ✅ Acceptance is not the same as agreement or approval. ✅ Healing doesn't require forgetting what happened. ✅ You can honour what you've lost without allowing it to define the rest of your life. ✅ Letting go isn't about losing your memories, it's about making room for new possibilities. Why This Episode Matters One of the biggest misconceptions in betrayal recovery is that people are struggling because they can't move on from the affair. Often, that's only part of the story. Many people are actually mourning a life they thought they were going to live. The marriage they believed they had. The retirement they imagined. The traditions they expected to share. The version of themselves who never thought this would happen. This episode explores why that distinction matters, and why recognising what you're truly grieving is often the beginning of genuine healing. Because sometimes the hardest thing to let go of isn't the relationship. It's the future you quietly built around it. Resources & Support If you're trying to rebuild your life after betrayal and you're looking for structure, guidance and support, Luke offers both private coaching and a supportive recovery community.

Iranians appear to be enjoying maximum leverage over the Trump administration. The argument goes that Trump had to act as he did to avoid severe risks to the global economy—an outcome that raises questions about the limits of his “master dealmaker” image.Why is JD Vance positioning himself as the deal's chief cheerleader, exposing himself to sustained political scrutiny? And how are figures like Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin likely interpreting these developments? For some, it may signal a setback for American credibility and global leadership.In the second half of the show, Rudyard and Andrew turn to domestic politics. As the House of Commons prepares to break for the summer, they assess the Prime Minister's performance over his first 14 months in office.

For decades, China accelerated its industrial development through a straightforward bargain: foreign firms invested in China, often through joint ventures, gaining access to the enormous Chinese market, while Chinese companies absorbed western tech and knowhow. Today, that dynamic is changing. China's high-tech industries are now world-leading, and western governments are looking on enviously. So should the US and EU now take a page from China's playbook? Host Soumaya Keynes speaks to John Minnich, assistant professor of international relations at LSE, about the history of Chinese tech transfer, how it drove industrial sophistication and whether the west could — or should — attempt something similar.Subscribe to Soumaya's show on Apple, Spotify, Pocket Casts or wherever you listen.Further ReadingHow China pulled off a great tech reversalEU to include UK and Japan in ‘Made in Europe' plansJohn Minnich: Divide and Conquer: Industry Market Structure, Inter-Firm Rivalry, and Bargaining over TechnologyPresented by Soumaya Keynes.

Every victory at the bargaining table starts with workers standing together—but solidarity means looking out for each other's minds as well as their livelihoods. In this episode of America's Work Force Union Podcast, host Ed "Flash" Ferenc sits down with John Lepley, Director of Education and Membership Development at the United Steelworkers (USW). Marking both Mental Health Awareness Month and the USW's 84th anniversary, John highlights a vital shift in the labor movement: treating mental health as a core collective bargaining issue. What We Discuss in This Episode: The Power of Peer Support: Inside the USW's voluntary mental health curriculum, developed alongside CUNY psychology professor Waleed Sami, which teaches members to spot warning signs and connect colleagues with professional care. Healthcare Workers in Crisis: How chronic understaffing, isolation, and workplace violence are compounding the mental health crisis for nurses and healthcare professionals—and how the union is fighting back. Bargaining for Well-being: Why scheduling, staffing ratios, and the boundary between work and home life are fundamental mental health policies that belong in every union contract. Leadership from the Top: The critical role General President Roxanne Brown played in championing this program from its early pilot stages to a nationwide union initiative. Important Resources: If you or someone you know is struggling, the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is free, confidential, and available 24/7 by calling or texting 988.

Are you struggling to say goodbye to the version of yourself that drinks? Coach Matt explores the powerful analogy of breaking up with alcohol and why high achievers often go through a literal grieving process when they choose an alcohol-free life. Discover the neuroscience behind the five non-linear stages of letting go... Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, and Acceptance and learn why an emotional "dip" is a sign of biological recalibration, not failure.  This episode provides a roadmap for untying the "Gordian Knot" of old coping mechanisms, helping you move from white-knuckling to an identity-led lifestyle where you don't just "quit" drinking, but authentically integrate the loss and thrive.   Want to speak to a real human being at AFL?
