“In the case of iLet, we're going to say, this is how much insulin they're getting for what they consider to be a usual meal. And we learn that and we can set it that way. So we just take the responsibility of learning carb counting, which is really tough, off the user's plate. That's an extra level of automation that traditional pumps don't provide,” Beta Bionics CEO Sean Saint explains to Bloomberg Intelligence. In this episode of Vanguards of Health Care, Saint sits down with BI analyst Matt Henriksson for an in-depth interview about Beta’s iLet pump, designed to eliminate the human stress of making insulin dosing decisions. The conversation also touches on the company’s pay as you go strategy through the pharmacy channel and future product development, including the Mint patch pump.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this captivating episode of Reading with Your Kids, host Jed Doherty explores the transformative power of children's literature through conversations with two remarkable authors who are reshaping storytelling for young readers. First, award-winning author Lynn Plourde discusses her groundbreaking middle-grade novel, "The Bionic Boy." The book follows Benji, an 11-year-old adopted boy born without hands, who discovers the true meaning of heroism and self-acceptance. Inspired by her 21-year career as a speech therapist, Plourde crafts a compassionate narrative that celebrates children with differences, showing that heroism comes in many forms. The episode then shifts to a delightful conversation with Lindsay Giziki, author of "Bookly, the Book-Loving Ghost" and founder of A Pop Of Indie, an innovative traveling book fair. Giziki shares her passion for bringing diverse, independent books to children, including hosting summer camps where kids create their own picture books. Both authors represent a new wave of children's literature that prioritizes representation, creativity, and empowerment. Giziki's A Pop Of indie book fair introduces children to independent authors and diverse storytelling, while Plourde's novel provides a nuanced exploration of disability and inner strength. The conversation touches on important themes: the evolution of children's literature, the importance of diverse representation, and the power of storytelling to build empathy and understanding. From Benji's journey of self-discovery to Bookly the ghost's love of reading, these authors are creating worlds that inspire, educate, and entertain. Parents and educators will find inspiration in their approaches to storytelling, which emphasize the importance of seeing oneself reflected in literature and the magic of imagination. Whether you're interested in innovative publishing, diverse storytelling, or simply love children's books, this episode offers a heartwarming glimpse into the creative minds shaping young readers' experiences.

How fixed is the borderline between human music and the sounds of nature? That is a question that guides the work of Los Angeles-based composer Alexey Seliverstov. In this programme, Regan Morris follows Alexey's creative process from recording the dawn chorus in the Santa Monica mountains, through the ingenious transformations of the field recordings to the finished multi-channel and multi-sensory installation for the Shelemay Sound Lab at Harvard University. There is more to Alexey's music than first meets the ear: some of the ‘birds' are actually the sounds of his own and his brother's voices recorded when they were children and altered beyond recognition by Alexey's sophisticated processing. Adding ear-prints of empty spaces to the sounds of chirping synthesisers, similar to the effect of repeated exposures on an old-fashioned camera film, draw us further into Alexey's imaginary landscapes. Are these soundscapes artificial or still mostly natural? How does mixing the sounds of nature and sounds that we associate with humans, such as pianos, alter our idea of what music can be?

What if a bionic hand could move with your thoughts and also let you feel edges, shapes, and even motion across your skin? In this special episode of the Neurocareers: Doing the Impossible! BCI Award Series, host Dr. Milena Korostenskaja sits down with Dr. Giacomo Valle, assistant professor at Chalmers University of Technology and 1st place winner of the 2024 BCI Award, to explore his groundbreaking research on restoring complex touch through brain-controlled bionic hands. Giacomo takes us on a journey from his early work with peripheral nerve stimulation in amputees to today's intracortical microstimulation of the somatosensory cortex, where participants experience naturalistic sensations of edges, motion, and even shapes. Along the way, he draws fascinating parallels between visual cortical prosthetics and tactile neuroprosthetics—showing how insights in one field can spark breakthroughs in the other. The episode also honors the legacy of his late mentor, Professor Sliman Bensmaia, whose pioneering contributions to the science of touch continue to shape the field. Giacomo shares a moving story from the first fingertip implant experiments, capturing the emotional moment when participants once again felt through artificial stimulation. We also dive into new research overturning old beliefs about brain reorganization after amputation. Long thought to cause cortical maps to shift, new longitudinal studies reveal that body representations in the brain remain remarkably stable—even decades after limb loss. This discovery opens new doors for amputees and the future of neuroprosthetics.

Syngenta Flowers' Dr. Brian Krug and Dr. Jamie Gibson join Tech On Demand host Bill Calkins to discuss the exciting world of begonias, focusing on both vegetative and seed varieties. They explore the latest introductions, production best practices and the importance of lighting and PGRs in growing high-quality begonias. The discussion highlights the growing popularity of begonias in gardening and their versatility in various applications. One of the top new introductions at California Spring Trials in 2025 was iCandy, a vegetative series of hybrid begonias for quarts and up—with double flowers and dark foliage—and Brian spends time detailing production best practices before moving on to other vegetative series including Adora (perfect for baskets), Birthday Bash (more traditional, waxy foliage and double flowers) and Florencio (a boliviensis hybrid). Then Jamie goes through tips and tricks for producing a few newer seed-raised series from Syngenta including Bossa Nova (boliviensis types), Bionic (large, interspecific landscape type) Tophat (early-to-flower interspecifics with huge flowers) and Limitless (tuberous). For each series, Brian and Jamie discuss production recommendations from propagation through finish—including lighting protocols, PGR regimes, temperature requirements and much more. Strategies to reduce the risk of blind cuttings are also shared. WATCH THE VIDEO!

Artificial intelligence isn’t here to replace radio — but it is coming for the audience’s attention, and it’s doing so on radio’s most important turf: deep personal connection. Dan McQuillin, Managing Director at Broadcast Bionics, joins Kirk to explore how AI and large language models can augment radio production rather than compete with it. Dan shares the fascinating “DanGPT” experiment — an AI version of himself so convincing it won over his wife of 34 years — as proof that AI can be just as personal and engaging as traditional radio. Together, they discuss how radio’s greatest strengths — shared experience, belonging, and community — remain central, and how embracing AI as “Augmented Intelligence” can amplify those qualities. With a growth mindset, AI becomes more than a cost-cutting tool; it’s a creative partner that makes the once-impossible possible. As Dan puts it, we used to have more ideas than time — now, thanks to AI, ideas are the only limit.

We tend to live, work, and observe within the circles of friends and colleagues that we already know. The TWiRT podcast strives to introduce radio engineers and creators who bring new ideas, technologies, and techniques to our thinking. Juan Punyed and Caroline Delamarque are visiting and talking with Latin American broadcasters every day, and frequently visit radio stations with huge audiences in Mexico City, Buenos Aires, Santiago, Brasilia, Panama City, and Bogatá, among others. What are broadcasters doing technologically in these places? And how are engineers implementing and supporting these advances in broadcasting? Juan and Caroline give us a taste of what broadcasters are doing - and perhaps not doing - in Latin America.

On a quiet March afternoon in 2008, Kentucky resident and father of two, Jason Koger, climbed onto his four-wheeler for what should have been a routine ride. Moments later, 7,200 volts of electricity ripped through his body, stopping his heart and changing his life forever. Jason woke up in flames, his body burning from the inside out. Doctors told his wife to prepare for the worst. To survive, Jason would lose both arms. What followed was a journey of pain, resilience, and miraculous second chances that would take him from a hospital bed to becoming the first person in the world with two bionic hands.

Stereotypically speaking, broadcast engineers may not fit the “leadership” mold. Many of us are perfectly comfortable dealing with equipment, and not with leading other people. While some engineers are naturally also fine leaders, many who aspire to a leadership role may need a mentor, or an example, or perhaps a “baptism by fire”. Kevin Trueblood has leaned toward filling responsible positions throughout his career, and he brings his thoughts and advice on the topic in this episode Moreover, Kevin was just elected by his peers as President of the Society of Broadcast Engineers (SBE). We discuss some SBE plans as well, and get some great advice on backup (or primary) Internet service for critical infrastructure sites.

Dave Anderson, Chief Broadcast Engineer at WUSF, Tampa - brings us two tales of two fibers. One tale surrounds the fantastic utility, capability, and flexibility of using fiber to connect different radio studios to the central rack room. The other tale describes the dangers of having diverse IP connection services that all use the exact same cross-country or last-mile fiber bundle. Either way a fault in the fiber can take out multiple services that were thought to be “diverse”. Dave shares his recent experience and advice for using fiber’s clear advantages while avoiding service pitfalls. Show Notes:Introduction to Livewire+ is a guide to installing AoIP, including using fiber to transport it.

The AMI Procedure and Magneto Micrometry   This week I was honored to have back on my podcast, Dr Hugh Herr. Hugh is a bilateral below knee amputee and a professor of Media Arts and Sciences at MIT. He directs the MIT Biomechatronics Group and Co-directs the K. Lisa Yang Center for Bionics. Time Magazine coined Hugh the 'Leader of the Bionic Age'. He has also authored and co-authored over 350 peer-reviewed manuscripts and patents, chronicling the science and technology behind his many innovations. Dr. Hugh Herr is, in short, making huge contributions in the amputee community, giving amputees a hopeful future in living active and healthy lives. Today, we discuss the AMI procedure (agonist-antagonist myoneural interface) which is the surgery I just had done in Boston with Dr Matthew Carty (co-creator of this surgery with Hugh) on June 20. I was back in the MIT Media Lab over a year and a half ago, when I first met Hugh while I was a control group to test their bionic knee based on my traditional amputation. Little did I know that less than two years later I would undergo groundbreaking surgery to improve my limb and prepare my body to use the myoneural knee that is soon to be made commercial. This is exciting and unbelievable technology that brings hope and excitement to me, as an amputee, because we are going to see a huge change in our mobility based on this type of procedure plus the bionics, 3D printed sockets, and the Magneto Micrometry that is coming out of MIT!   Hugh working with a PhD student on the "bionic" knee. Photo credit. Jimmy Day/MIT Media Lab   Amputees, get excited for what is coming! Our future looks so bright and we are going to have technology on our side so we can reach our goals and dream big dreams!   Listen in as Hugh takes us through everything coming down the MIT Media Lab pipeline and how it'll work together to make us stronger, healthier, and more capable than ever before! Warriors, this is incredible and inspiring! Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, Hugh, for taking time out of your very busy schedule to speak with me and bring more visibility to our future as amputees and for all the innovations and dedication to making us more complete and more than capable than we ever thought possible. We appreciate you and all of your students and colleagues at MIT and MassGeneral.   For more information on the AMI procedure check out my June 9, 2025 episode with Dr. Matthew Carty HERE And for a more in depth conversation with Dr. Hugh Herr about his journey, you can listen HERE   If you have any questions or thoughts on these technological advancements, please reach out to me and let's have a conversation! Hope you all have a beautiful week ahead. And as always, Be Healthy, Be Happy, Be YOU!!!   Much love,
