Looking back over an almost 40 years-long academic job, moving from Melbourne (Melbourne and Monash Universities) to the UK in 2016 (Bath University) and since 2022 in Germany, as Chair of the University of Cologne Research Hub for Multidisciplinary Environmental Studies in the Humanities, Kate Rigby talks with Jacques about the evolution of her endeavours to integrate our ways and means of being and thinking 'humans' into the relational reality of our ecology, of Mother Earth. The conversation implicitly also opens up questions about Australia's Tertiary Education and whether it remains fit and prepared to play its role in the necessary thinking and practice our times demand.

Should we be allowed to take our own lives? Should doctors or friends be allowed to help us? For the first time in a decade, MPs have a bill to consider on assisted dying. Parliament and the cabinet is split, and there are vigorous campaigns on both sides. Will it open the door to euthanasia for convenience, with old people and the disabled pressured not to be a burden? Or is it a measure of compassion for the suffering and the desperate? Phil and Roger talk through the new bill and its limitations with Dr Sam Carr of the Centre for Death and Society at Bath University. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Riots and disorder on a scale Britain hadn't seen in a decade, but then the streets re-taken by anti-racist crowds - what to make of what happened after the Southport stabbings? Keir Starmer said the white men throwing rocks and setting fire to hotels were “far right”. Was he correct? And what does “far right” mean? Is it a coherent political force in the UK, or just a bunch of drunken yobs? Phil and Roger look at the evidence with Aurelien Mondon of Bath University and the Reactionary Politics Research Network.

GUEST 1 OVERVIEW: Patrick Chalmers was born in Fife, central Scotland in 1966, spending most of his first two decades in Moray, further North. He studied engineering and French at Bath University and journalism at London's City University before starting as a freelance reporter in Brussels. In 1994, he joined Reuters, where he spent 11 years on postings in London, Kuala Lumpur and reporting assignments elsewhere. His topics included global climate change, world trade and various financial crashes and their impacts. Slowly, he learned something of the political threads joining them all. Grown disillusioned with the lack of balance at Reuters, he secured redundancy and moved to SW France. From there he wrote Fraudcast News, in 2012, a confessional critique of politics and journalism. Since then, his work has included freelancing for The Correspondent, among others. In 2017 he co-founded All Hands On, an independent filmmaker looking at people practising radically better politics for everyone. He's currently focused on how everyday individuals can learn the necessary skills to practise politics themselves, even in war zones such as Israel-Palestine.

On this episode of the Additive Insight podcast, we're joined by Adrian Bowyer, the founder of the RepRap movement and a TCT Hall of Famer. Bowyer, a former mechanical engineering academic, came to prominence within the 3D printing world around 20 years ago when he shared a blog on the Bath University website detailing the idea for a replicating rapid prototyper. Once published, he was encouraged to take the lead on the project, and what came next was a movement that attracted the support of hobbyists and consumerists all over the world. Throughout today's episode, Bowyer discusses the motivations behind the RepRap movement, how the RepRap machines evolved through the generations, and the decision to sell of the RepRap Pro business. He also provides his assessment of the desktop printer market that spawned from the RepRap movement and how AI might impact 3D printing.
Should we have the right to end our lives in the way we choose - with others allowed to help us? Euthanasia is back on the agenda after a number of celebrities pushing for a change in the law. But what about the risks - the sick and elderly feeling they are a burden to be dispensed with? The devaluing of life itself? Dr Sam Carr lecturer at the Department of Education and the Centre for Death and Society at Bath University talks to Phil and Roger about the issues surrounding assisted suicide Hosted on Acast.

My guest today is an award-winning creator and writer of comic books. Born into a Staffordshire working-class family, he was a student of Applied Biology at Bath University when he started contributing to the prominent computer games magazine Amiga Power. Upon graduation, my guest joined the staff of PC Gamer, then left the magazine to go freelance in 2003. The following year he published a highly influential manifesto calling for a new mode of first-person, subjective writing about video games that he dubbed New Games Journalism. Two years later, he published his first comic book, Phonogram, which described music as a kind of transformational magic. After founding the PC gaming website Rock, Paper, Shotgun in 2007, my guest left journalism for good to work on comic books, including X-Men, Iron Man, and Star Wars, a series for which he also created the character, Doctor Aphra. He has continued to work on his own projects, including Wicked + the Divine, Once & Future and DIE, a horror series about tabletop role-playing games for which he received four of his six Hugo Award nominations.

Welcome back to AMP and its great to have on a younger member of our multisport community. Putting a slightly younger perspective on nutrition and training, as well as the usual, background story and journey into multisport.Thomas was born in Finland and is Half Finnish on his Mothers side. He lived there up until he was around 14 when he moved to the UK.He says he joined the Cross country skiing club in Finland between the ages of 10-11 yrs old, "not very quick",he stopped when he moved to UKThrough his Dad he started Orienteering at Berkshire Orienteers when he was 13-14 yrs old, stopped because of migraines and it was uncool.Thomas started Rowing/sculling at Reading Rowing Club when he was 15-18 yrs old, crazy training but still not quick, stopped because of anaemia & adrenal fatigue.When he went to Bath University he found Triathlon he enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere of the club his training was unstructured, but he did a lot of reading up on training and nutrition & getting healthy again.He tried out short & middle distance, but liked the 'puzzle' of ironman (i.e. it's not just about who has the highest threshold). His first ironman was Outlaw age group win aged 19 in 2017.Potent, low volume training 2018 helped him at the Denmark long distance worlds where he came 4th M20-24 & Ironman Wales 2nd M18-24. He then prioritised his education taking 2 years "off" as degree was getting tough, no spare time. Thomas continued with Sprint sessions only, but lost a lot of fitness.as the Pandemic hit, while writing thesis, restarted training, new plan: only two training zones. Thomas won Hever Castle Bastion 2021 while working as an engineer. Led 255 'ultra triathlon' but DNF'd, controversy around results. Did some more rowing in Bristol as he had unfinished business. Thomas then moved to London for management consulting. He raced Outlaw again, coming 5th overall. he then won Ironman Finland three weeks later, as he is half-Finnish, it felt amazing (but not appreciated by FinnTriathlon..) Spontaneously raced Challenge Almere three weeks after.Thomas is currently balancing training and work, with little structure.He had a crack at 2023 Ibiza Long distance Worlds with an achilles injury, which turned out to be a bad idea.He has now moved back to Bath, focusing on swim and run high-end speed, hoping to train with the elites. His job still comes first. hw wants to train smart but have fun and be flexible. Thomas is looking to the 70.3 worlds this year and then Kona focus next yearas well as trying for his pro licence.Hope you enjoy this chat. you can Find us on Instagram @amp_1967Twitter agegroupmultisportpodcastFacebook AMPGBfind all our episodes on our websiteWebsite is : https://agegroupmultisportpodcast.buzzsprout.com/email: agegroupmultisportpodcast@gmail.comif you are an agegroup athlete and would like to come on the pod, get in touch.if you have enjoyed this pod please leave a rating wherever you listen.
In this episode of the Real World Behavioural Science Podcast, my colleague Dr Tiago Moutela Tiago Moutela and I get geeky with Pete around behavioural science and transport. A self-confessed “transport enthusiast”, Pete's work has spanned the private sector; as one of the founding team members of the Ogilvy UK Behavioural Science Team, to the public sector; building a team of behavioural scientists at the Government's Department for Transport (DfT), United Kingdom, and finally to academia at the University of Bath; where he's seeking to understand more about the psychology of decision making around transport. Having co-authored a book with behavioural science advertising oracle, Rory Sutherland, Pete is one of the UK's foremost experts in designing transport solutions in response to human behaviour. The aim of his latest research is to provide a more accurate picture of what is going on – albeit a much messier, more complex, and nuanced picture - from which decision makers can base investment and design decisions. Some of the key points the discussion covers includes:

In this podcast, Rob Briner shares his expertise and insights on evidence-based practice. Rob became interested in evidence-based research early in his academic career when he realised how much knowledge and assumed facts lacked convincing evidence. Simon converses with Rob from the position of a sceptic, having experienced evidence-based practice in healthcare and human resources settings when poorly delivered. Rob offers a fascinating insight into how evidence-based practice can be useful if delivered in a thoughtful and rigorous way. He shares the importance of collecting evidence from multiple sources and different perspectives. In a healthcare setting for example, this would include gathering opinions from patients and families, getting expert views from professionals, gathering data from the context such as healthcare outcomes, and finally looking at scientific data to search for the best knowledge/evidence available to apply to the situation. Evidence-based research can be distorted to produce ‘magical numbers' and Rob emphasises the need to critically examine what these numbers do and do not mean, and how they are used and misused. Critical thinking is also necessary to reflect on assumptions and biases that can lead to ‘evidence-based' findings, produced to convince people to follow a particular path that was pre-ordained. Rob also points to the need for a more ground-up approach, to really think about what the challenge or problem is, and then design an evidence-based research study, rather than designing a study that will produce findings desired by a particular power group. This podcast is a must listen for all who wish to deepen their understanding of evidence-based practice. Bio Rob is Professor of Organizational Psychology at Queen Mary, University of London and is co-founder and Scientific Director of the Center for Evidence-Based Management. He is also a Visiting Professor of Evidence-Based HRM at Birkbeck (University of London) and Professor at Oslo Nye Høyskole. He has held positions at the Institute for Employment Studies, London School of Economics, Kings's College (University of London), Bath University and University of Edinburgh. His research has focused on several topics including well-being, emotions, stress, ethnicity, the psychological contract, organizational culture and climate, absence from work, motivation, work-nonwork and everyday work behaviour. Beyond academic research and teaching, Rob helps practitioners and organizations make better use of evidence, including research evidence in decision-making as well as encouraging academics to make scientific research more accessible. He has received several awards for his work in this area including the British Psychological Society Division of Occupational Psychology Academic Contribution to Practice Award in 2014, topped HR Magazine's Most Influential Thinker list in 2016, received a Lifetime Achievement Award in 2019 and was admitted to HR Magazine's Hall of Fame.

My guest today is Aurelien Mondon, a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Politics, Languages & International Studies at Bath University in the United Kingdom. He has been studying the far right in Europe and beyond for over a decade now, focusing in particular on its mainstreaming, and engaging critically with both the scholarship and its terminology, in particular the term populism. Aurelien is a frequent commentator on the far right in the media and blogs on the topic on Medium. His most recent book, published together with his longtime collaborator Aaron Winter, is called Reactionary Democracy: How Racism and the Populist Far Right Became Mainstream, which was published by Verso in 2020.

Dr Jen Matthews has pioneered the application of metabolomics to unravel the metabolic interactions underpinning coral health and resilience to environmental change.Increasing environmental pressures, such as increased sea temperatures, are causing the catastrophic loss of coral cover around the globe, including the largest coral reef ecosystem in the world: the Great Barrier Reef. So, it's unsurprising we are starting to see corals migrate poleward to cooler waters. In fact, Sydney has recently become home to a new subtropical coral. This raises a significant question: Could Sydney be a refuge for corals from the warming GBR? A Human Frontier Science Programme Fellow at the University of Technology Sydney, Jen holds a PhD in Marine Biology (Dean's list, Victoria University Wellington), a MRes (Imperial College London) and a BSc (Honours, Bath University). Jen is dedicated to finding solutions to current environmental challenges, targeting local (e.g. tropicalization of coastal NSW), national (e.g. Great Barrier Reef restoration), and global topics (e.g. microplastic pollution).Her contributions are internationally recognised, being invited to join the prestigious Coral Bleaching Research Coordination Network, and the International Metabolomics Society Early-Career Members Network. In 2009, she founded ‘Big Blue Conservation', a not-for-profit organisation protecting and restoring beautiful reef ecosystems in Thailand. Her industry engagement while developing the innovative microplastics removal tool, funded by Lord Mayor's Charitable Foundation Seed Innovation Grant, has shown her to be an emerging STEMprenuer. Despite her early-career stage, Jen has secured $300,000 in competitive funding, produced 14 publications and actively advocates for effective science communication and women-in-STEM, through programs such as SoapboxScience Sydney 2019-2020.

Today, I invite you to listen to Lachmi Bose. Lachmi's two worlds are India where she was born and grew up, and England, where has now lived for over 50 years. Lachmi joins me to talk about her childhood and how she still remembers the best lesson that her grandfather ever taught her. We talk about the move to England, how the family settled and how she felt proud wearing saris.Along the way we also talk about the sense of calm and safety that Lachmi felt on her visits to India, about the meaning of home and how her native culture and language were passed on to her two daughters. Lachmi is such an inspiration to us all. Our conversation is a charming meditation on how to live a fulfilled life. Lachmi is 83, still works part time at Bath University and absolutely loves it.This is truly an uplifting conversation. I enjoyed every minute of it, and I hope that you will too.Follow my Instagram @twoworldsonemepodcast for photos and a delicious family Onion Bhaji recipe. ---------If you would like to talk to me about your two worlds, I would love to hear from you.

It's crunch time on climate change. The IPCC's latest report told the world just how bad it is, and.it's bad. Companies, NGOs, and governments are scrambling for fixes, both short-term and long-term, from banning sale of combustion-engine vehicles to pouring money into hydrogen to building direct air capture plants. And one initiative, launched last week, is taking an “if you can name it, you can tame it” approach by creating an independent database that measures and tracks emissions all over the world. Climate TRACE, which stands for tracking real-time atmospheric carbon emissions, is a collaboration between nonprofits, tech companies, and universities, including CarbonPlan, Earthrise Alliance, Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory, former US Vice President Al Gore, and others. The organization started thanks to a grant from Google, which funded an effort to measure power plant emissions using satellites. A team of fellows from Google helped build algorithms to monitor the power plants (the Google.org Fellowship was created in 2019 to let Google employees do pro bono technical work for grant recipients). Climate TRACE uses data from satellites and other remote sensing technologies to “see” emissions. Artificial intelligence algorithms combine this data with verifiable emissions measurements to produce estimates of the total emissions coming from various sources. These sources are divided into ten sectors—like power, manufacturing, transportation, and agriculture—each with multiple subsectors (i.e., two subsectors of agriculture are rice cultivation and manure management). The total carbon emitted January 2015 to December 2020, by the project's estimation, was 303.96 billion tons. The biggest offender? Electricity generation. It's no wonder, then, that states, companies, and countries are rushing to make (occasionally unrealistic) carbon-neutral pledges, and that the renewable energy industry is booming. The founders of the initiative hope that, by increasing transparency, the database will increase accountability, thereby spurring action. Younger consumers care about climate change, and are likely to push companies and brands to do something about it. The BBC reported that in a recent survey led by the UK's Bath University, almost 60 percent of respondents said they were “very worried” or “extremely worried” about climate change, while more than 45 percent said feelings about the climate affected their daily lives. The survey received responses from 10,000 people aged 16 to 25, finding that young people are the most concerned with climate change in the global south, while in the northern hemisphere those most worried are in Portugal, which has grappled with severe wildfires. Many of the survey respondents, independent of location, reportedly feel that “humanity is doomed.” Once this demographic reaches working age, they'll be able to throw their weight around, and it seems likely they'll do so in a way that puts the planet and its future at center stage. For all its sanctimoniousness, “naming and shaming” of emitters not doing their part may end up being both necessary and helpful. Until now, Climate TRACE's website points out, emissions inventories have been largely self-reported (I mean, what's even the point?), and they've used outdated information and opaque measurement methods. Besides being independent, which is huge in itself, TRACE is using 59 trillion bytes of data from more than 300 satellites, more than 11,100 sensors, and other sources of emissions information. “We've established a shared, open monitoring system capable of detecting essentially all forms of humanity's greenhouse gas emissions,” said Gavin McCormick, executive director of coalition convening member WattTime. “This is a transformative step forward that puts timely information at the fingertips of all those who seek to drive significant emissions reductions on our path to net zero.” Given the scale of the project, the parties involved, and how ...

Some of your favourite films have been rewritten by the Pentagon, the US Defence Department and the CIA. This isn't a conspiracy theory: as research by Bath University's Matthew Alford underlines, thousands of films and TV shows have received support from the US national security state over the last century in exchange for rewrites to eliminate criticisms of- or give glowing support to - the US military and US foreign policy goals. From Zero Dark Thirty to Hulk, from Terminator films to Contact to Homeland, this influence is everywhere - and part of a concerted propaganda effort to whitewash the true horrors committed in the name of US power.Check out Matthew's work here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Matthew-Alford/e/B0045YIR2K and here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmFfPcW_KMArhjNb0zmO1PAHelp us take on the right wing media here: https://patreon.com/owenjones84Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-owen-jones-podcast.

From there he talks of his first job at Schroders, working as an analyst, and further experiences he had at Newton, Flemings, Deutsche Asset Management and then a start-up, RWC. Peter describes their merger with Schroders and his ascent to CEO, and the journey from managing money to managing an investment business. The conversation moves to him talking about the compelling opportunities in Global Asset Management, contrary to some gloomy commentaries that we often read. He talks of the shift to managing money to solve problems and not simply to be benchmarked, and the evolution of active and passive strategies. He describes Schroder's vision of serving the individual customer, both affluent and high net worth, with the help of more electronic applications, a wider public and private offering and trying to help them avoid classic pitfalls of poor timing in entering and exiting the market. He also explains why although he thinks ESG must be embedded in your investment process, it will morph into a more coherent drive for impact investing. Peter also gives his thoughts on the growth of private equity, and the challenge facing stock markets buffeted by weighty regulation and diminished liquidity. He then discusses advice for the young thinking about future career, and some of the characteristics he looks for in potential hires.

Dr. Carl Bescoby is an injury psychologist who graduated with his PhD from Bath University in England holding professional qualifications in Sport and Exercise Psychology. A lot of his research has focused around organ transplant recipients and physical activity as a means of mental, physical, and emotional well-being. This is a man I wish my father (who my book Injured to Elite is dedicated to) had met during his life being that he underwent two kidney transplants due to chronic kidney disease, glomerulonephritis. It just so happens that he was also a childhood athlete and a huge lover of sports. In this episode Dr.Bescoby is going to share a ground breaking treatment strategy which has been getting more attention recently that addresses the mental side of injury rehabilitation known as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), with psychological flexibility as a main tenant. There have been some great papers written on ACT which was developed by Dr. Steven Hayes. ACT prioritizes the use of metaphors, identifying individual values, and enabling the athlete to accept their situation to be able to grow from it. This is now an area that closely aligns with my work and development of The Injured to Elite framework which prioritizes the mental side of rehabilitation. Dr. Bescoby and I are working on leading the way to an integrated and evolved approach to better addressing the needs of athletes after injury.
