    Send us a textThis is a timely, thoughtful episode that tackles two issues primary care can't afford to file under “too difficult” or “summer problem”. Fiona and Nik explore how bias can quietly shape consultations, clinical reasoning and patient experience, especially when we're tired, rushed or relying on first impressions, with practical ways to pause, reflect and challenge assumptions. They then turn to heat-related illness, a growing risk for patients we see every day, from young children and pregnant women to older people, outdoor workers, people who are socially isolated or using certain medications. If you want a practical, compassionate update on spotting who is at risk, recognising heat-related illness as a spectrum, and knowing when rapid cooling and emergency action are needed, press play now.Useful linksNHS Midlands Leadership Academy – unconscious bias toolkitNHS equality, diversity, and inclusion improvement planNHS England – conscious inclusion  GP Trainee Essentials support package information, and the Red Whale CalendarSend us your feedback podcast@redwhale.co.uk or send a voice message Sign up to receive Pearls here.

    Michael Shermer speaks with Wikipedia co-founder Larry Sanger shortly after Sanger was permanently banned from editing the site he helped create. Sanger tells the story of Wikipedia's founding, how its ideal of open collaboration hardened into a system dominated by a relatively small group of powerful editors, and why he believes its rules on sourcing and "consensus" now produce political and religious bias. In the second half of the conversation, Shermer and Sanger shift gears completely and discuss whether religious faith can be rational, the philosophical case for God, the resurrection, the Trinity, repentance and salvation, and whether a future superintelligent AI could become indistinguishable from God.

    In May 2026, the Office of Management and Budget proposed sweeping changes to how the federal government administers billions of dollars in federal research grants. That funding fuels scientific discovery, medical breakthroughs, and technological innovation. The proposal was open for public comment for 45 days and drew more than half a million responses. Supporters of the proposal argue that it will prevent waste, fraud, and abuse in federal spending. Critics contend that the proposal will politicize research funding by giving executive branch political appointees greater influence over which research projects receive federal support. Joining us to break down the OMB proposal and what it could mean for the future of research are:  Evan Morris, professor of radiology and biomedical imaging and of biomedical engineering at Yale Catharine Young, senior fellow at the Harvard T.H.

    She came to the United States from Cameroon almost 30 years ago with a master's degree in education, almost no exposure to computers, and a goal to pursue a doctorate. Her two sisters, both already in IT careers, redirected her. She thought she could never succeed in the field. She became an IT help desk worker. Then a network administrator. Then an IT manager. Then a director. Then a CIO. Then a COO in Spain. Then a Chief Technology and Innovation Officer. Then a Vice President and CIO at a California State University. Her PhD — the original goal from 1995 — she completed in 2019. Twenty-four years later than planned. Dr. Monique is Vice President for Information Technology and CIO at California State University, Chico, and a multiple CIO award winner. In this episode, she shares the specific moments — some planned, some forced on her — that defined how she uses her voice to steer her career. You'll learn: Dr. Monique was the only person of color in senior leadership at an elite STEM university. She organized the conversation her organization wasn't having: a roundtable on race and social justice with her IT team. She went first, dropped her own protective mask, and shared her own experiences with racism — which is what unlocked everyone else. The sessions grew into a six-cohort DEI program across the entire university, co-developed under her executive vice president. A junior male employee publicly questioned in a group meeting whether she was being overpaid. Her two white male predecessors' salaries had never been questioned by that same group. She stood up calmly and said: "I did not come to this meeting to discuss my salary. But if I must, I believe I am appropriately compensated for the work that I do." The room went silent. How she trained herself to respond to the angry Black woman stereotype: when emotions rise, her voice drops lower instead of higher. She slows down. She puts her hands on her thighs. She stands with her feet flat on the ground. She stated her intention to her team before a difficult conversation: "I am standing up not to be overpowering, but because having my feet on the ground helps me control my emotions." Days later, people were still reaching out saying it changed how they see her. At a conference in Chicago, a vendor friend insisted she skip the Super Bowl to meet someone he knew. She agreed. The stranger asked her about her career. She "unabashedly spoke up" about her achievements. He told her they were building a role to lead technological innovation. She applied. She got the job as Chief Technology and Innovation Officer. She applied for Deputy CIO at the Colorado School of Mines with none of the required higher education experience. Got interviewed. Got the job. Eight months later: interim CIO. Three months after that: full CIO. She directly asked her executive vice president there to sponsor her — sharing her goals specifically and asking for stretch assignments. That EVP let her serve as deputy COO while still serving as CIO. The framework she and Ivna coin in this episode: "confident humility." Women often embrace the humility and delete the confidence. The combination of both — taking no apologies for what she has accomplished while doing so with poise and grace — is what she credits for attracting sponsors throughout her career. Why she asks directly for sponsorship by naming specific career goals and specific asks, and why she audits her sponsor network regularly — including thinking about what would happen to her if her strongest advocate left the organization tomorrow. About Dr. Monique: Vice President for Information Technology and Chief Information Officer at California State University, Chico. Multiple CIO award winner. Immigrant from Cameroon. Former CIO at Colorado School of Mines, Chief Technology and Innovation Officer, and Chief Operating Officer in Spain. PhD in Education and Organizational Leadership.

    European regulators recently issued a historic $1 billion fine against Google for multiple violations of the Digital Markets Act. The investigation concluded that the tech giant engaged in self-preferencing by prioritizing its own shopping and travel services within search results over those of its competitors. Additionally, officials found that Google utilized anti-steering practices on its app store to prevent developers from directing users toward more affordable payment options. While the company intends to appeal the decision and warns of potential product degradation, the European Commission has mandated a 60-day deadline for Google to implement fair, non-discriminatory practices. This landmark ruling represents the largest penalty yet under new digital laws designed to ensure a level playing field for online innovation and consumer choice.

    Worden we door media en politiek te bang gemaakt voor klimaatverandering? En wie financiert eigenlijk het klimaatactivisme? In deze aflevering spreekt Yael Potjer met wetenschapsjournalist Marcel Crok over klimaatfeiten versus klimaatalarmisme, de economische gevolgen van het klimaatbeleid en de schade aan onze welvaart.Crok erkent dat de aarde sinds 1850 opwarmt en dat CO₂ daarbij een rol speelt, maar plaatst grote vraagtekens en nuances bij de manier waarop klimaatscenario's worden gepresenteerd. Zo waarschuwde hij jaren geleden al dat het veelgebruikte rampscenario RCP8.5 niet realistisch was. Crok kreeg recent op dit punt gelijk: RCP8.5 keert niet terug in de scenario's voor het volgende IPCC-rapport. Ook stelt Crok dat er geen duidelijke toename is in extreem weer, zoals het aantal en de kracht van orkanen. Waarom zijn we jarenlang bang gemaakt voor een onrealistisch rampscenario?Ook bespreken ze de gevolgen van net zero voor onze energievoorziening, industrie en welvaart. Volgens Crok maakt Europa zijn eigen bedrijven kansloos door hoge energieprijzen, CO₂-heffingen en onhaalbare klimaatdoelen. Pleegt Europa met zijn klimaatbeleid economische zelfmoord?Tot slot volgen ze de geldstromen van Amerikaanse miljardairs en fondsen, die via een Nederlandse stichting honderden miljoenen naar Europese klimaatorganisaties zouden laten stromen.

After Jerry informs us that Brendan Sorsby has been banned from NFL Europe, the Missing Link is, well, very missing. In the second, Adrian knows CBA players, and Dave gets irate with the NHL original 6, and with Jerry for knowing the Goliath answers without telling him.  Appropriately, we take a halftime trip to the liquor store, where Jerry extols an answer for “tasting good coming back up”.  In the “Let it Ride” third, Dave inaugurates the Roman Reigns Award for Best Practice Squad Defensive End.  After some complicated wagering in the fourth, Snyder clues a bonus question with references to moose and diabetes, leading Dave to declare: I have one of those!

    Investigating Religious Bias in Artificial Intelligence

    Back in May, Brigham Young University published the results of a study about AI and religion. The study found that all major AI chatbots would not mention faith in responses to questions in which a well-rounded response probably ought to have included religious or spiritual ideas. Questioning AI about ethics, human suffering and morality will almost never result in a response that includes a religious perspective.In addition to a lack of religious references, the study also determined that the AI models had clear biases against certain religious groups.Among the tested models, the researchers found that Grok had the strongest biases, holding a more negative view of Jehovah's Witnesses, Baha'i, and Hindus. On the flip side, the researchers found that Meta and Anthropic had the least biased models.So what do we do with all of this? At the rate AI is developing, it's increasingly more difficult to see a world where it doesn't affect the way we think and talk with each other—actually, there's data to show that it already is affecting our language.And, though it is changing our speech, its foundation is still deeply human. AI models have actually built themselves on combing through our communication—our articles, our books, our encyclopedias and our social media comments. So, if AI has certain biases, is it merely reflecting the biases of the human species? Or are the developers to blame for influencing its opinions? Or, perhaps most eerily, has AI really come to certain conclusions on its own about how faith ought to operate in our societies?And, if we want to change the way AI speaks about religion, it immediately becomes difficult to conclude how we avoid giving preferential treatment to certain faiths over each other while still being intellectually honest about when certain religions may be more contextually significant to answering a question.To help wade through the messy waters of AI and religion, I spoke with Arizona State ethics professor Ben Hurlbut. Hurlbut specializes in the intersection of faith, technology and ethics and helped me better understand how we have grown to trust the internet and why bias in AI might not be as bad as it sounds.

Wie viele Jahrzehnte an Diskriminierung stecken in den Daten, mit denen eine KI heute trainiert wird? Und was müsste passieren, damit sich diese Muster nicht in der nächsten Generation wiederholen?

In der neuen Podcast-Folge von „How I met my money" spricht sie mit Lena und Ingo darüber, wie inklusive Nutzung von KI im Alltag aussehen kann. Und darüber, – wie KI-Tools nutzen lassen, um den eigenen Recruiting-Prozess zu hinterfragen und inklusiver zu gestalten – wie einzelne, einflussreiche Personen die Antworten eines KI-Systems gezielt nach dem eigenen Weltbild formen können, welche Rolle Regulierung dabei spielt und wo die eigene Verantwortung als Nutzer:in beginnt. – wie sich der eigene Ressourcenverbrauch beim KI-Einsatz mit dem Anspruch auf verantwortungsvolles Handeln verträgt.

    Her Peer Kept Misattributing Statements to Her Team. She Let It Slide Once. The Second Time She Confronted Her Directly. She had a verbal offer within four days. They were eager. Before she accepted, she called HR and said: "Before I accept, I want to speak with my manager's manager." That request could have cost her the role entirely. She had already weighed it: if they say no, that tells me everything I need to know about this culture. If they say yes, I make a more informed decision. Within 24 hours, the executive cleared his calendar during a conference lunch and took a 30-minute call. He opened with: "What questions do you have for me?" She asked everything. She took the job. Saadia is Global Chief Information and Technology Officer at Coverys, a medical liability company, with 20 years of IT experience across multiple Fortune 100 companies. In this episode, she walks through the specific moments in her career where courage was required — and exactly how she built it. You'll learn: Her peer kept misattributing statements to her and her team in leadership meetings. She let the first incident slide. The second time, she requested a direct conversation: "This is what I heard. You were named as having stated this. Can you explain why?" The peer was speechless. Saadia set a clear expectation for next time — and never had the problem again. How she built a two-year disagreement relationship with a boss who actually respected being challenged: listen first before responding, don't feel obligated to disagree on the spot, return with facts, and always explain your thought process rather than just your conclusion. The career pivot her mentor pushed her into: leave IT entirely — her entire professional identity — and take a business strategy role with a Chief Marketing Officer. She lost her direct reports and became an individual contributor. Her biggest fear: disrupt her tech trajectory and never get back. Her mentor's answer: "Try it. If you don't like it, come back." She did it for two years, returned to IT as an executive, and credits that pivot for how she now thinks about strategy, stakeholders, and technology implementation. Why she stopped procrastinating in meetings after watching male peers say her exact ideas out loud and get the credit. The mindset that unlocked it: "I am in this room for a reason, and so is everyone else. Equal footing." Think you're the smartest: you stop listening. Think you're the worst: you stop speaking. Find the middle. Her direct advice on bias: keep an eye on how your ideas and voice are treated from day one. You will know quickly whether biases exist. Your manager and your peers are the most critical variables. If your manager has bias toward you, it will not work. Find a leader who respects what you bring, not just who you are. Why she proves herself to herself rather than to others — and why she has watched other women leaders make flawed decisions every time they shifted into "proving to others" mode. The skip-level coffee chat practice she has run for four years: meets individual contributors without their managers, no script, asks what challenges they are facing, never names names when sharing themes upward. The trust it builds has changed how her organization speaks up. About Saadia: Global Chief Information and Technology Officer at Coverys, a medical liability company. Saadia has 20 years of IT leadership experience across multiple Fortune 100 companies and is a recognized voice on courage, leadership, and building speak-up cultures in technology organizations.

    Send us Fan MailData-driven nonprofit fundraising can strengthen donor retention, improve communications, and support better decisions—but the numbers can't replace human judgment!  In this Fundraisers Friday conversation, Julia Patrick and Tony Beall explore how nonprofit teams can use donor data, CRM systems, and artificial intelligence without losing the relationships that inspire generosity.Fundraisers now have access to an enormous range of information: giving frequency, donor lifetime value, campaign results, email engagement, event attendance, volunteer history, budgets, and predictive analytics. The challenge is not simply collecting more data. It is deciding which information deserves attention and how it should influence fundraising strategy.Tony recommends beginning with the areas carrying the greatest opportunity or risk, even if that means studying only the top or bottom 10%. Rather than attempting to measure everything, teams can begin with donor retention, giving patterns, and communication performance.“Data can help guide us to a decision point, but it doesn't make the decision for us,” Tony says.That distinction becomes especially important when nonprofits evaluate corporate gifts, partnerships, vendors, or AI platforms. A financially attractive opportunity may still conflict with the organization's values, reputation, or mission. Gift-acceptance policies and AI-use policies can help leaders make consistent decisions before a difficult situation develops.Julia also raises an increasingly urgent operational concern: where does donor information go when it is entered into an AI system? Nonprofits may be working with sensitive financial, behavioral, and relationship data. Protecting that information is fundamental to maintaining donor trust.The duo also challenge organizations to consider whether their CRM is strengthening relationships—or becoming a substitute for them??  Julia asks, “If your database or your CRM went down tomorrow, do you still know your donors?”Key Takeaways:Prioritize donor retention, giving frequency, and communication response before expanding the dashboard.Treat data as decision support—not an automatic answer.Create gift-acceptance and AI-use policies as part of organizational risk management.Test fundraising messages against audience behavior rather than internal preference.Protect donor information when using AI, CRM, accounting, and HR platforms.Invest in software training and adoption—not merely software licenses.00:00:00 Is Fundraising Becoming a Data Job?00:01:32 How to Avoid Fundraising Data Overload00:03:04 Data Should Empower Fundraisers—not Define Them00:05:54 When Intuition Conflicts With the Numbers00:07:02 Data Cannot Make Ethical Decisions00:09:31 Bias, Vendor Selection, and Better Decision Rubrics00:10:36 Why Every Nonprofit Needs a Gift Policy00:12:50 Which Fundraising Metrics Should Come First?00:14:59 Measuring Marketing and Communication Performance00:17:48 AI Ethics and Protecting Sensitive Donor Data00:20:57 Predictive Analytics for Fundraising Decisions00:22:32 Would You Know Your Donors Without Your CRM?00:25:47 Investing in Fundraising Technology and Training#TheNonprofitShow #NonprofitFundraising #FundraisingStrategyFind us Live daily on YouTube!Find us  Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits!  12:30pm ET   11:30am CT  10:30am MT  9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

    Physicist Jenny Wagner joins us, asking not whether dark matter is possible but whether it is necessary, whether the missing mass was ever missing or only misplaced inside the models we carried in before we looked up. She works the inverse problem of gravitational lensing the way a person works a locked door in the dark, feeling for what the data actually says against what the assumptions quietly whisper, until the cosmological constant, dark energy, and the whole dark sector start to look less like discoveries and more like scaffolding we forgot was scaffolding. From Zwicky and the Coma cluster to MOND and the Bullet cluster, she traces how a pragmatic guess hardened into orthodoxy, and how general relativity alone might carry more of the weight than anyone budgeted for.

    America turns 250 and the Trump Administration is celebrating by rewriting the past and the present. Alison, Liz, and Rebecca discuss how the administration hijacked the nation's planned bipartisan 250th anniversary celebration and turned it into a tax-payer funded Christian nationalist prayer revival. Then they dig into the report issued by the "Taskforce to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias," one of several task forces created by the administration to manufacture a "Christian persecution" narrative in order to privilege conservative Christianity under the law.    Show Notes The report on "Biden Admin Weaponization of the FACE Act" (Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances) Just Security - "Separating Fact from Fiction in FACE Act Enforcement" National Women's Law Center: "The President's Slush Fund: A Gift to the Anti-Abortion Movement and a Blow to Our Democracy" Federal Register: Establishment of the Religious Liberty Commission    "Anti-Christian bias taskforce report" April 30, 2026  Executive Order 14291- Establishing the Religious Liberty Commission   Cases Americans United for Separation of Church and State v.

    Send me a text! I'd LOVE to hear your feedback on this episode!I break down what the newest research says about cigarettes, vaping, and nicotine pouches, and why the “glamour” narrative is never the same thing as health. I also connect nicotine to addiction science, menopause and HRV, and the deeper emotional reasons people reach for a chemical pause button.  Beware of those posts from wellness "influencers" telling you to use their discount code for the miracle nicotine gum "nootropic" for your brain...you need all the facts before you decide if it's right for you.• 90s nostalgia and media trends that glamorize smoking again  • the hard science on cigarette combustion, toxins, and long-term risk  • what 2026 studies suggest about vaping and cardiovascular harm  • where the vaping and cancer evidence is early, mixed, and still concerning  • nicotine pouches as “clean” marketing versus heart and oral health realities  • why nicotine can feel like focus while strengthening dependence  • quit-rate data and why repeated attempts are normal, not weakness  • menopause, estrogen, HRV, and nicotine as a fight-or-flight drug  • the “thing under the thing” and what we are trying not to feel - you know I will always bring a little bit of soul into every podcast episode.I am one of the rare independent podcasts left...please do your part to help support me to keep going 6+ years and I know how much my integrity has helped the wellness space.  Share this with a friend so that they can get the details on what we know right now.

    Over the last year, I have been using AI to develop a searchable archive of the content in every episode of Recruiting Future, 3 million words from over a decade of unscripted conversations with practitioners and thought leaders across talent acquisition. James Whitelock, host of The Marketing Rules Podcast, has been doing the same thing with his own archive of more than 200 episodes over seven years.  Between us, we now have over a thousand real conversations we can interrogate for trends, and the picture that emerges is an industry caught in familiar tensions: fighting to prove its strategic value, grappling with AI that moves faster than it can be adopted, and trying to figure out which parts of hiring should stay fundamentally human.  So what do years of real conversations reveal about where talent acquisition actually stands?   In my conversation with James, we compare what our respective archives reveal about TA's shifting identity, the real pace of AI's change, and the tensions the industry keeps returning to. In the interview, we discuss: Using AI to turn podcast archives into industry intelligence TA's journey from growth engine to cost center and back again How the AI conversation has shifted over time Adaptability as the critical skill for TA Is TA becoming a marketing function? Standing out when AI content all sounds the same Ring-fencing the parts of hiring that should stay human Bias in humans and bias in AI What does the future look like?

    A new report accuses the world's most trusted human rights organizations of a problem that goes far beyond anti-Israel bias: antisemitism, and a culture that pushes out Jewish staff for naming it. This week, Yonit and Jonathan talk to Danielle Haas, a former senior editor at Human Rights Watch who spent 14 years inside the organization before co-founding EiGHT, a watchdog created to scrutinize the watchdogs. Drawing on interviews with over 70 staffers across nine major NGOs, the report documents internal messages calling for "liberating the world from Zionism," leadership reposting inflammatory rhetoric, and a pattern of employees being sidelined the moment they raised concerns.   00:00 Introduction to the Conversation 01:30 Danielle Haas's Background and Experience 03:43 Insights from the New Report on NGOs 07:58 Striking Findings and Internal Messaging 11:31 Challenges Faced by Jewish Employees 17:19 Lack of Accountability in Human Rights Organizations 21:08 Cultural Shifts and Generational Changes 24:46 Association with Militant Organizations 27:20 The Future of Human Rights Organizations 33:00 Reflections on Personal Experience and Change
