Can governments decide who gets access to advanced AI models? Are third-party breaches becoming impossible to control? And why are so many CISOs reaching burnout? In this special Cybersecurity Today Month in Review Panel, host Jim Love is joined by cybersecurity experts Laura Payne, David Shipley, and Mike Kim (Mycroft) to examine the biggest cybersecurity stories and trends from June 2026. The panel explores the controversy over U.S. export controls on Anthropic's Mythos and Fable AI models, what they reveal about digital sovereignty, and whether governments should be able to restrict access to frontier AI. They also discuss the continuing wave of third-party breaches, including Salesforce ecosystem compromises and the Clue breach, and why organizations must move beyond compliance toward practical risk management. The conversation examines FortiBleed, exposed administrator portals, credential reuse, and the difficult balance between software flaws, operational mistakes, and secure-by-default design. The panel also tackles one of cybersecurity's biggest human challenges: CISO burnout, executive accountability, organizational culture, and what separates successful security leaders from those set up to fail. The episode concludes with encouraging developments in international cybercrime enforcement, including Operation Riptide, and why better intelligence sharing and improved operational security are making it harder for cybercriminals to hide. Whether you're a CISO, security practitioner, IT leader, or simply interested in the rapidly changing cybersecurity landscape, this discussion offers practical insight into the trends shaping the industry.

Part two of the discussion with Jim Hodapp and Bob Belderbos focused on practical software development. Topics included testing, tooling, libraries, developer workflows, AI coding assistants, and why Rust's ecosystem is helping developers build more reliable systems. Key Discussion Points Rust libraries and crates Built-in testing capabilities AI-assisted coding workflows Compiler-driven development Tooling and developer experience The rise of AI coding assistants has changed the software development landscape. Code can now be generated in seconds. The challenge is determining whether that code should be trusted. This is where AI-assisted Rust presents an interesting model for modern engineering. Rather than relying solely on AI output, developers gain support from a compiler, testing framework, and ecosystem specifically designed to catch problems early. The result is a workflow centered on reliability instead of speed alone. About our Guests Jim Hodapp Jim Hodapp is a veteran software engineer, engineering leader, and technical coach with deep roots in systems programming. His background spans C, C++, Linux, embedded systems, software architecture, and engineering management. In recent years, he has become a recognized Rust advocate, helping developers transition from traditional systems languages into modern, memory-safe development practices. Through RefactorCoach and his Rust training initiatives, Jim focuses on improving engineering effectiveness, software quality, and developer growth. Follow Jim on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jim-hodapp/ Bob Belderbos Bob Belderbos is a software developer, educator, coach, and co-founder of PyBites. Originally coming from a finance background, Bob transitioned into software through automation, scripting, and Python development. He has spent years helping developers improve their coding skills through practical challenges, mentoring, and community-based learning. More recently, Bob has expanded his focus into Rust, combining his Python expertise with modern systems programming practices to help developers build faster, safer, and more maintainable software. Follow Bob on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bbelderbos/ Why AI-Assisted Rust Works Differently Many AI-generated applications succeed initially but struggle when complexity increases. The root issue is often a lack of validation. AI may generate code that appears correct while introducing subtle assumptions, type mismatches, or architectural weaknesses. Rust changes this dynamic. Its compiler demands correctness before execution. This creates an environment where AI-generated solutions must satisfy strict requirements before becoming production-ready. Rather than fighting the compiler, developers can use compiler feedback as an additional review mechanism. The combination creates a surprisingly effective development loop. AI-Assisted Rust and Compiler-Driven Development Historically, developers discovered many errors during runtime. That process is expensive. Bugs appear later, testing cycles expand, and debugging consumes valuable time. Compiler-driven development shifts detection earlier. When AI generates code inside a Rust project, the compiler immediately validates: Types Ownership rules Memory safety Data structures Interface compatibility This reduces uncertainty. The AI-assisted Rust approach effectively turns compilation into a continuous quality-control process. Every issue caught during compilation is one less issue waiting in production. How AI-Assisted Rust Improves Testing Another major topic discussed during the episode was testing. Rust includes first-class testing support directly within the language ecosystem. Developers can place tests alongside implementation code and execute them through the same tooling used to build applications. This integration matters. When testing becomes frictionless, developers are more likely to perform it consistently. The guests also discussed an emerging AI-era consideration. When AI generates both application code and tests, developers must ensure tests remain objective. Separating tests from implementation can sometimes help prevent AI from simply validating its own assumptions. The goal remains the same: Verify behavior rather than confirm expectations. AI-generated tests are only valuable when they challenge the code instead of reinforcing it. The Role of Libraries and Crates Every modern language depends on ecosystems. Rust is no exception. The conversation explored how Rust balances a relatively focused standard library with a thriving third-party package ecosystem. Instead of relying on massive built-in functionality, Rust encourages developers to leverage well-maintained community crates. This approach provides flexibility while avoiding unnecessary complexity in the language itself. For teams adopting AI-assisted Rust, this creates another advantage. AI tools can often identify appropriate crates quickly, reducing research time while still allowing developers to evaluate quality and suitability. Tooling That Supports Better Software One recurring theme throughout the discussion was integration. Rust combines several critical capabilities into a cohesive experience: Package management Dependency management Building Testing Formatting Linting Developers spend less time assembling tooling and more time solving business problems. This integrated philosophy becomes increasingly important as software stacks grow more complex. When AI enters the workflow, consistency becomes even more valuable because every tool participates in maintaining quality standards. Audit your current development workflow and identify how many separate tools are required for building, testing, linting, and dependency management. The Real Value Is Confidence The most important benefit of AI-assisted Rust may not be performance. It may not even be productivity. It is confidence that: The generated code meets standards. Tests validate behavior. Memory safety issues are unlikely to appear unexpectedly. The compiler is actively helping rather than simply translating instructions. That confidence allows teams to move faster without sacrificing reliability. The best development environments reduce uncertainty rather than merely increasing speed. Conclusion AI-assisted Rust represents a practical evolution in software development. Instead of choosing between AI productivity and engineering rigor, developers can combine both. AI accelerates implementation while Rust's compiler, testing capabilities, and tooling ecosystem reinforce quality. As software becomes increasingly AI-generated, environments that encourage correctness from the start may become some of the most valuable platforms available to developers.

In this heartfelt episode of Reading With Your Kids, Jed Doherty welcomes Heidi E. Y. Stemple, author of Lydia Loves Bugs, and later Jezebel Rivera, author of Mommy, Where's My Dad? Most of the conversation centers on Heidi, her work, and her remarkable family legacy. Heidi shares how Lydia Loves Bugs began on her screened-in porch during the early, anxious days of the pandemic, when she wanted to write something purely fun and comforting. Lydia is a bug-loving kid whose mom studies bugs, while her dad and brother are decidedly not bug fans—an intentional celebration of family differences and a playful twist on gender stereotypes. Heidi talks about growing up in a family deeply rooted in the natural world—especially birds—and how that love of nature shows up again and again in her books. She reflects movingly on the recent passing of her mother, Jane Yolen, noting that Jane has 10 more books under contract and over 100 manuscripts still to be shepherded into the world. Heidi describes how she read to her mother in her final months, including their co-written work and Heidi's new projects, and how Jane always encouraged her children to walk beside her, not in her shadow. Later, Jed is joined by Jezebel Rivera, who shares the inspiration behind Mommy, Where's My Dad?—a tender, honest picture book drawn from conversations with her son about their family. Jezebel emphasizes the power of redefining family through love, support, and the "village" that surrounds a child.

Episode OverviewIn this Southwest Virginia Fishing Report from The Articulate Fly fly fishing podcast, host Marvin Cash checks in with guide and writer Matt Reilly for a late-June conditions update covering the bug bite, streamer strategy and musky gear. With water running very low and clear across most drainages — and a near-94°F heat spike bearing down on the region for the Fourth of July — Matt explains why the current conditions are still worth fishing hard. Damselflies, dragonflies and terrestrial insects are out in force, and in technical low-water scenarios, Matt argues that surface bug presentations become the most reliable path to a bigger fish on Southwest Virginia rivers. The approach requires patience and timing: he describes starting the morning with streamers while fog limits visibility on the flats, then feathering into surface presentations as sunlight penetrates and fish become more active and visible in shallower water.The episode also branches into musky territory with Matt sharing details from a Hatch Magazine rod review he just published on the new Redington Big Game 11- and 12-weight fly rods. He breaks down why the 12-weight's grain window (550–700 grains) makes it function as a two-hander, and flags its all ceramic guides as a landmark feature — the first time a major manufacturer has run ceramic guides all the way up the blank, something boutique builders like Reilly Rod Crafters and Chippewa River Custom Rods have long recognized as essential for musky fly rod design. Matt walks through the aerial casting sequence he uses with two-handed setups — sidearm to tease the head out, elliptical overhead to shoot — and covers the Scientific Anglers Custom Cut line as the tool he reaches for when he needs to reach the upper grain windows.Key TakeawaysHow to build a daily game plan around low, clear water by starting with streamers in the foggy morning window and gradually transitioning to surface presentations as sunlight arrives and fish activate on flats.Why low, clear summer conditions on Southwest Virginia rivers can actually work in your favor, making surface bug presentations the surest route to a larger fish in technical water.When to recalibrate your expectations around the adult crayfish molt cycle — and why Matt saw that window arrive roughly a month earlier than its typical late-June/early-July timing this year.How two-handed musky rods expand the physical and tactical playbook, allowing heavier and bulkier fly designs that single-hand rods can't realistically turn over, while also improving ease of casting for the angler.Why ceramic guides all the way up the blank matter on a musky rod, and what the Redington Big Game 12-weight signals about where mainstream manufacturers are finally catching up to the sport.How to execute the sidearm-to-elliptical aerial casting sequence with a two-handed musky setup, using the Scientific Anglers Custom Cut line's color change as a practical cue for when to shoot.Techniques & Gear CoveredMatt describes a two-phase low-water strategy: streamer fishing in the overcast, foggy morning window to capitalize on reduced visibility and fish willing to chase, then feathering into surface bug fishing once the sun gets up and fish become active and visible on the flats. Damselflies, dragonflies and terrestrial patterns are identified as the go-to presentations in late June for drawing bigger smallmouth in technical conditions. The Redington Big Game musky rods — an 11-weight and a 12-weight — anchor the gear discussion, with the 12-weight designed around a 550–700 grain line window and capable of two-handed delivery; Matt's primary critique is its 9-foot length versus the 10-foot standard he's come to prefer, though he views the rod's all ceramic guide construction as a meaningful advancement from a major manufacturer. On the line side, the Scientific Anglers Custom Cut line is the only SA option Matt identifies for reaching the upper grain windows: you cut the charcoal head back to your target grain weight, leaving a fluorescent yellow running line as a visual cue — once you see a foot or two of yellow at the rod tip, it's time to shoot. Two-handed casting technique is covered in detail, with Matt walking through the sidearm sweep to tease the head out incrementally before transitioning to an elliptical overhead stroke to deliver the fly, a method that makes 40–50 foot casts accessible to average anglers and 80-plus-foot casts achievable for experienced big rod casters.Locations & SpeciesThis report covers Southwest Virginia, with a recent rainfall update noting some new water to northeast Tennessee and the high-country trout streams in that region. The primary fishing conditions being discussed are late-June low-and-clear flows across most lowland drainages, with heat building and no meaningful relief in sight ahead of the Fourth of July holiday. The summer target species in Southwest Virginia is smallmouth bass — fished through a mix of topwater, terrestrial and streamer presentations depending on time of day, flow and light conditions.FAQ / Key Questions AnsweredWhy do low, clear water conditions favor topwater bug presentations for smallmouth in Southwest Virginia?In low, clear water, flats become sight-fishable and fish spread out into shallower zones where surface activity is easier to read and exploit. Matt explains that when bugs are an option in these conditions, they become the most reliable route to a bigger fish — more so than baitfish or crayfish patterns that typically do more work in higher, dirtier flows. With damselflies, dragonflies and terrestrials active through the summer, the insect menu gives fish consistent visible targets above the surface, and a well-presented topwater bug or terrestrial in technical water can outperform power fishing techniques that work better with more water volume.When should you make the switch from streamers to topwater on a low-water early-summer day?Matt's approach is to default to streamers early and let conditions tell him when to transition. On the morning of recording, fog cover persisted until around 9:30 or 10:00 a.m., keeping visibility poor on the flats where sight fishing is the real advantage. He waits for sun penetration before committing to bug fishing, since successful topwater presentations in that shallow technical water depend on fish actively moving toward the fly — which requires warm, clear conditions rather than the overcast low-light window that often favors streamer fishing.What are the practical advantages of two-handed fly rods for musky fishing?Two-handed setups reduce physical fatigue substantially on what is already one of the most demanding days of casting in fly fishing, and they expand the fly design options available to the angler. Matt notes that fishing with a 650-grain line on a two-handed rod allows him to use bulkier, heavier fly patterns that produce different action profiles — patterns that would be genuinely difficult to cast with a single-hand rod. Longer rod length also improves the figure-8 maneuver at the boat, giving anglers a better, less fatiguing lever to trigger strikes.What do anglers need to know about the Redington Big Game 12-weight as a musky tool?The rod's online listing as a 12-weight undersells what it actually is: it accepts a 550–700 grain line, making it a functional two-hander despite its 9-foot length. Its defining feature is that it's the first fly rod from a major manufacturer to run ceramic guides all the way up the blank — a design detail that boutique builders like Reilly Rod Crafters and Chippewa River Custom Rods have long treated as essential for handling heavy musky lines without damaging guides. Matt's main criticism is the 9-foot length versus the 10-foot two-handers he's become accustomed to, but he views the rod's existence as a market signal that major brands are paying attention to where musky fishing on the fly is heading.How do you cast a two-handed rod for musky?Matt's method starts with about a foot and a half of line after the last figure-8, then uses a sidearm sweep — described as brushing the side of a wall with a broom — to tease the head out incrementally, shooting 10–15 feet on the first backcast and adding distance with each stroke. Once the head is out (a 25-foot head in his example), he transitions to an elliptical overhead stroke to shoot the fly line and fly to the target. He uses the Scientific Anglers Custom Cut line's color change as the timing cue: once a foot or two of the fluorescent yellow running line appears outside of the rod tip, he shoots — a reliable visual reference that takes the guesswork out of judging when the head is fully outside of the rod tip.Related ContentS6, Ep 71 - Adapting to Heat and Low Flows: A Southwest Virginia Fishing Report with Matt ReillyS7, Ep 12 - Cold Water Chronicles: Insights on Musky Fishing and Streamer Techniques with Matt Reilly

Send us Fan MailHello Everyone! Welcome to the 100th and the final episode of Chalk + Ink: The Podcast for Teachers Who Write and Writers Who Teach. I'm your host Kate Narita, author of 100 Bugs! A Counting Book and assistant principal. It may sound like the words 100th and final episode of Chalk + Ink easily rolled off my tongue, but I assure you they did not. It has been an absolute honor creating this podcast for you for the past six years, and it has honestly been a year-long process for me to let go and say farewell.When thinking about the last episode, I of course thought about the first episode with Angela Shante. I also thought about featuring clips from all the episodes with more than one hundred downloads and then realized in surprise that more than 80% of the episodes have had at least 100 episodes. Next came the idea that before the first episode, author and illustrator, Sarah Brannen, created the podcast art. And, I realized that featuring Sarah was a way to have the beginning hold the end. For those of you who don't know, Sarah has advocated tirelessly for all students to have the right to see all familial structures in books in schools and for all students to have the right to read freely. You can read her response to the Mahmoud v. Taylor Supreme Court's ruling on her website sarahbrannen.com and on Pen America's website pen.org. And then I thought about another tireless advocate for children to have the right to read all books, Melissa Stewart, who has relentlessly fought for children to have access to high quality nonfiction trade books. I also realized that past collaboration episodes have been some of Chalk + ink's most popular shows. Since Sarah and Melissa have collaborated together on four books and all four of their books are delightful summertime reads, I knew interviewing the two of them was the perfect way to honor you, the listener, and honor Chalk + Ink, because this whole project has been a collaboration.And the interview doesn't disappoint. We talk about the power of critique groups, collaboration, and journaling. So, get your journals ready, take some notes and then head outdoors to see what summertime surprises nature has to offer you today.Support the show

Send a text to Melissa and she'll answer it on the next episode. One stomach bug can upend a whole household—sudden nausea, gushing diarrhea, cold sweats, and a long night by the bathroom door. We share a practical, calm approach for getting your family through it faster: how to read symptoms, choose the right homeopathic remedy, and keep hydration on track without guesswork or panic.We start by clarifying what stomach “flu” really is—usually norovirus or rotavirus—and why antibiotics won't help. From there, we map symptom clues to specific remedies: Arsenicum album for burning pains, anxiety, and thirst for small sips; Ipecac when relentless nausea brings no relief; Nux vomica for cramping with irritability and hypersensitivity; Phosphorus when cold drinks come right back up; Veratrum album for violent purging with collapse and cold sweat; Podophyllum for sudden, gushing diarrhea in kids; and China to rebuild strength after fluid loss. You'll hear real-life examples that make matching faster and dosing simpler, including when to switch remedies if progress stalls.Supportive care ties it all together. We explain how to hydrate with small, frequent sips that include electrolytes and a touch of sugar for absorption, plus nutrient-dense, gentle foods like warm meat stock and simple soups. We flag the warning signs that mean it's time to seek medical care—persistent vomiting that prevents fluids, blood in stool or vomit, unrelenting high fever, confusion, or clear dehydration—and how homeopathy can sit alongside conventional support. By the end, you'll have a step-by-step plan to reduce intensity, shorten the course, and restore calm, even when the bug hits overnight.If you want deeper guidance on handling acute illnesses with confidence, join our Inner Healing Circle at join.melissacrinshaw.com, and subscribe to the show.

In 1966, the United States declared victory over a destructive flesh-eating parasite that devastated livestock. The New World Screwworm is a fly whose larvae burrow into the living flesh of mammals. It was eradicated after a long campaign that involved releasing millions of sterile flies over infested areas.Last week, that fly came back.The U.S. Department of Agriculture confirmed five cases of larvae contamination in Texas and New Mexico – the first detections in decades. Federal officials say the food supply is safe, but the cattle industry is on high alert. The American cattle supply is already at a 75-year low. Beef prices are high. And a screwworm outbreak could make it worse.Outside farms and ranches, the tick population is growing and spreading in new parts of the country. Emergency room visits for tick bites hit a 10-year seasonal high in April. And a growing number of Americans are discovering they've developed an allergy to red meat triggered by tick bites.We sit down with a panel of experts to talk about it.Find more of our programs online.

A couple summers ago, Radiolab reporter Alex Neason got out of the shower and almost stepped on her worst nightmare: an American Cockroach. It was flipped onto its back, struggling, and for a split second, Alex swears she felt the spiny tickle of its legs on the underside of her bare foot. And, like every other time she has come into contact with a roach, this sent her into a debilitating spiral of fear, anger, and disgust.  This week, Alex tries to understand what might be behind her fear, in the hopes she can overcome it. And in doing so, Alex learns more about these so-called pests than she could have ever wanted to.Special thanks to Jessica Ware, Timothy Marzullo, Alexandra Bell, and Changlu WangEPISODE CREDITS:  Reported by - Alex Neason Produced by - Jessica Yung and Annie McEwen with mixing help from - Jeremy Bloom Fact-checking by - Sophie Samiee and Edited by  - Pat Walters EPISODE CITATIONS: Articles -  American Cockroaches, Racism, and the Ecology of the Slave Ship (https://zpr.io/UNKsMz7ZaLvb) by Lindsay Garcia, Arcadia Books -   Pests: How Humans Create Animal Villains (https://zpr.io/6E5wJBM4Kvcv) by Bethany Brookshire The Cockroach Papers (https://zpr.io/CvKePYxEMEAW) by Richard Schweid Cockroach (https://zpr.io/UuEAjmfqKccQ)  by Marion Copeland Sign up for our newsletter!!
