These are the things that make up Division III football this time of year. W's and L's as in wins and losses, X's and O's as in how plays and schemes are drawn up on paper, and 0's and 1's as in the data that is used to determine who will make the playoffs and how they'll be seeded, in the NCAA Power Index. We got the first look at the NCAA's version of the data in the NPI this week, and no surprise to anyone here that the data fully passed inspection and is exactly the same as what we've seen on D3datacast -- that's the link on our home page menu, for your reference. Of course, there were some great games to run down this week, such as how the folks at Johns Hopkins put together a third- and fourth-quarter rally to get past Carnegie Mellon. We talk about how the game turned, what can be learned, how the teams can grow from here. Hardin-Simmons/Mary Hardin-Baylor and Berry-Trinity (Texas) were big games that ended up not being close. What's up with UMHB? And we also chat with Tony Kunczewski, the head coach at Berry, about his team's big day and their win in our Fast 5 segment. And yes, there were upsets in the WIAC. Or were there? What really constitutes an upset in WIAC games these days? Co-hosts Patrick Coleman and Greg Thomas talk it through.  Patrick and Greg hand out game balls, spotlight the unusual stats of the week, Logan Hansen talks about which teams have the best chance of getting a top-eight seed and protected home field in the playoffs, we go around each region for even more stories and much more in this edition of the D3football.com Around the Nation podcast.

Carnegie Mellon business ethics professor Derek Leben joins Kevin Werbach to trace how AI ethics evolved from an early focus on embodied systems—industrial robots, drones, self-driving cars—to today's post-ChatGPT landscape that demands concrete, defensible recommendations for companies. Leben explains why fairness is now central: firms must decide which features are relevant to a task (e.g., lending or hiring) and reject those that are irrelevant—even if they're predictive. Drawing on philosophers such as John Rawls and Michael Sandel, he argues for objective judgments about a system's purpose and qualifications. Getting practical about testing for AI fairness, he distinguishes blunt outcome checks from better metrics, and highlights counterfactual tools that reveal whether a feature actually drives decisions. With regulations uncertain, he urges companies to treat ethics as navigation, not mere compliance: Make and explain principled choices (including how you mitigate models), accept that everything you do is controversial, and communicate trade-offs honestly to customers, investors, and regulators. In the end, Leben argues, we all must become ethicists to address the issues AI raises...whether we want to or not. Derek Leben is Associate Teaching Professor of Ethics at the Tepper School of Business, Carnegie Mellon University, where he teaches courses such as “Ethics of Emerging Technologies,” “Fairness in Business,” and “Ethics & AI.”  Leben is the author of Ethics for Robots (Routledge, 2018) and AI Fairness (MIT Press, 2025).  He founded the consulting group Ethical Algorithms, through which he advises governments and corporations on how to build fair, socially responsible frameworks for AI and autonomous Transcript AI Fairness: Designing Equal Opportunity Algorithms (MIT Press 2025)  Ethics for Robots: How to Design a Moral Algorithm (Routledge 2019) The Ethical Challenges of AI Agents (Blog post, 2025)

‘'What's inspiring is seeing MBA students shift from seeing leaders on a pedestal to realizing leadership is about collaboration and bringing people along.” - Gerard BeenenDo the next generation of business leaders think about leadership in a totally different way? What if it wasn't about authority, charisma, or titles - but about building trust, creating clarity, and inspiring people to move together toward something bigger? In this special bonus episode, I sit down with Gerard Beenen, professor of management and leadership consultant, to explore how MBA students are rethinking leadership in real time. Together, we connect their reflections to two powerful frameworks - transformational leadership and self-determination theory - and talk about what those ideas mean for anyone leading today.This isn't just theory from the classroom. You'll hear directly from Gerard's MBA students at Carnegie Mellon as they share how their definitions of effective leadership have shifted during their studies. Their voices are honest, insightful, and sometimes surprising - and they might challenge some of the assumptions you've been carrying about what leadership really is.In this episode, you'll hear:The surprising moment in history when leadership research almost disappeared and how it came back stronger than everWhy the old “great person” theory of leadership still lingers in how we think about leaders todayThe full range of leadership styles, from laissez-faire to transactional to transformational, and why transformational leadership continues to inspire changeThe four “I's” of transformational leadership and how they show up in everyday leadership momentsReal stories from MBA students as they move from task-orientation and authority toward collaboration, trust, and long-term purposeHow transformational leadership connects directly to self-determination theory - one of the most influential ideas in motivation researchThe three core psychological needs we all share (autonomy, competence, and relatedness) and how they shape motivation at workWhy it's not just about motivating your direct reports - you can apply these theories in 360 degrees with your peers, your leaders, and across your whole organizationPractical ways to create conditions where people feel empowered, inspired, and aligned without putting yourself on the hook to “motivate everyone” all the timeResourcesGerard Beenen on Cal State Fullerton | LinkedIn | Academia.eduWinnie da Silva on LinkedIn | On the Web | Substack | YouTube | Email - winnie@winnifred.org

We've all heard the career advice: “Find a mentor.” But here's the twist.Mentorship alone won't always get you the big opportunities. That's where sponsorship comes in.In this episode, we sit down with Rosalind Chow, Associate Professor at Carnegie Mellon, to unpack what really makes sponsorship such a career game-changer.Rosalind walks us through:

Os voy a leer un manifiesto de Jhon P. Ryan publicado en foroconspiracion punto com titulado REVOLUCIÓN O CONFORT? EL DILEMA OCCIDENTAL El régimen teme a una revolución y genera los anticuerpos. Que revolución va a hacer gente que lo único que sabe es sacar su perrito de paseo? Occidente desactivó toda potencia revolucionaria al formar sujetes dóciles, aislados y adictos al confort. Y una revolución se hace si hay gente capaz de hacerla. Pero que revolución va a hacer una sociedad que no sabe construir nada sin pedir permiso, que no soporta el mínimo riesgo, que se desmorona cuando se le cae el WIFI? La revolución requiere carácter; y el carácter no se forja entre micros dosis de serotonina y delivery express. Occidente no cría. rebeldes, cría mascotas humanas, sujetos pulidos, diplomados, amigables y perfectamente domesticados por la lógica de la comodidad. Su mayor acto de subversión es indignarse en twitter mientras le toman foto a su taza de avena. Nos dicen que somos mas libres que nunca, pero cada decisión está guiada per un algoritmo; cada sueño regulado por el mercado; cada deseo formateado por plataformas. Nos enseñaron a creer que elegir entre marcas es ejercer la libertad; que ir a votar sin opciones reales es democracia, que quejarse sin consecuencias es revolución. Pero no, le que tenemos es un zoológico moral de individuos entrenados para obedecer con elegancia. Y eso no construye ninguna transformación real. La revolución industrial no nos emancipó, nos disciplinó; convirtió el cuerpo humano en extensión de la máquina; la técnica en mandamiento; el progreso es un mandato. Cada nuevo avance tecnológico fue una cadena pulida; cada automatización una amputación simbólica. Al principio era opcional, luego condición de existencia. La máquina no se ofrecía, se imponía. Y con ella un nuevo tipo de humanidad funcional, especializada, incapaz de decidir su destino. Hey, el sujete occidental está atrapado en el espejismo del confort, cree que es libre porque puede elegir entre tres modelos de IPhone; pero no puede salir de su dependencia emocional, su deuda bancaria e su adicción a la validación externa. Vive anestesiado, vive cómodo, vive obedeciendo. La tecnología no amplió nuestra autonomía, la estrechó. La informatización masiva, la inteligencia artificial, las redes y los protocolos de control digital no sen herramientas neutrales, son extensiones de un régimen que ya no necesita represión; basta con que nos sintamos cómodos en las jaulas. Por eso reprime a los viejos, porque son de otra generación, con otra formación. El régimen ya no mata ideas, las vuelve productos; ya no necesita censurar libros, sine hacerles irrelevantes. Ya no necesita policías en la calle, solo adicción en el bolsillo. Y mientras tanto, las generaciones que alguna vez soñaron con destruir al amo ahora gestionan su imagen; administra diversidad como si fuera marketing. Se reemplazó la lucha por derechos materiales, por debates simbólicos que no toca la estructura técnica que garantiza nuestra sumisión. Dónde están los cuadros, donde la organización; donde les sujetos capaces de arriesgar su pellejo por algo mas grande que ellos mismos? Ne hay, porque todo ha sido formateado para que no los haya; para que la revolución sea una nostalgia, un chiste, una pose. Porque si; el régimen necesita que todo se critique, excepto su núcleo, excepto su arquitectura industrial; excepto la lógica que convierte al humano en recurso y al planeta en inventario. Por ese cualquier mejora que no cuestione la raíz técnica del régimen es solo una renovación cosmética. Porque una sociedad diseñada para la estabilidad funcional, la libertad es una anomalía. Y cuando todo se vuelve estable, todo se vuelve estéril. Y sin dolor, sin riesgo, sin hambre, sin deseo no hay revolución posible. Una revolución no nace en una asamblea, nace en el cuerpo, en la disidencia vivida, en la incomodidad existencial. Pero esta sociedad anestesiada no siente, no sangra, no arriesga. Y si no hay cuerpos dispuestos a romperse no hay régimen que se rompa. Porque ningún orden teme a quienes ya aprendieron a obedecer con elegancia. I ningún cambio nace de quien cree que protestar es firmar peticiones on line entre paseos de perros y fotos de almuerzos. La verdadera revolución será volver a tener hambre de verdad; no de pan, de sentido, de destine, de future. Ese hambre no cabe en una vida programada para no molestar jamás. LA GRAN EXPROPIACIÓN DIGITAL: CÓMO TE ESTÁN VENDIENDO LA ESCLAVITUD DE LA TOKENIZACIÓN La tokenización es el nuevo juguete de la élite: tomar todo le existente (acciones, bonos, casas, terrenos, incluso obras de arte) y convertirlo en gemelos digitales en la blockchain. Cada token será como una escritura de propiedad, pero a diferencia de hoy, podrá descomponerse en millones de micro acciones que se venderán al mejor postor. El mantra oficial es eficiencia, velocidad y transparencia; la realidad es la construcción de un gigantesco registre digital global de tierras donde cada active, y cada persona, será catalogado y controlado. Los bancos más poderosos ya están preparando el terreno, mientras que los gobiernos, con leyes y regulaciones modernas, aceleran los esfuerzos para legitimar las monedas estables y los sistemas de page blockchain. Estas monedas estables son simplemente una CBDC disfrazada: programables, rastreables y revocables a voluntad. El plan es simple: dejar que el viejo sistema financiero se derrumbe bajo el peso de los derivados y la deuda insostenible, y luego ofrecer un rescate a les ciudadanos desesperados. A cambio de su libertad, recibirán unas migajas en forma de tokens digitales almacenados en una billetera vinculada a una identidad digital obligatoria. Una vez firmado el nuevo pacto, el sistema monitoreará cada transacción, cada propiedad, incluso les dates biológicos recopilados mediante dispositivos portátiles. Nos dicen que todo será más transparente. Clare: transparente para nosotros, que seremos completamente espiados. Sin embargo, seguirán manejando el poder entre bastidores. Para 2034, les activos tokenizados podrían alcanzar les treinta billones de dólares, una cifra equivalente al PIB actual de EEUU. Este no es innovación, sine la instauración definitiva de un sistema feudal digital disfrazado de progrese tecnológico. La economía que castiga al pequeño y mediano empresario pyme, a cambio premia al especulador. Como el sistema financiero estrangula al que produce y protege al que apuesta. El capital no trabaja, juega. Y en este juego el que produce pierde. Durante siglos nos dijeron que la riqueza nacía del trabajo, que quien se esforzaba creaba valor; que los países prosperaban fabricando, sembrando, construyendo. Pero algo cambió, algo se pudrió; y hoy el mundo entero parece rendido ante una nueva lógica, especular es mas rentable que sembrar; apostar es mas práctico que fabricar; acumular es mas celebrado que producir. Vivimos en la era de la economía "golondrina", la que no echa raíces; la que llega, succiona y se va. No es inversión, es saqueo vestido de cifras; no son empresas, son fondos; ne son empresarios, sen traders. Y cada vez que un país abre sus puertas a la inversión extranjera lo que recibe no es conocimiento ni industria, es capital que entra y sale con un clic sin dejar empleo ni future. Nos dijeron. que eso era modernidad; nos dijeron que eso era necesario. Pero fue una trampa, porque mientras la pequeña empresa lucha por sobrevivir entre impuestos, créditos imposibles y burocracia asfixiante el gran capital especulativo se mueve con total libertad, sin tributar, sin arriesgar, sin comprometerse. Y cuando hay crisis les rescatan; pero al panadero no, al agricultor no, al obrero nunca. Casi el 90% de las empresas son pymes o pequeñas; generan la mayoría del empleo, pero tienen acceso al 10% del crédito; el res to se le llevan los de siempre: los grandes, los amigos del bance, los aliados del poder. Las Pymes fueron sacrificadas para sostener la bicicleta financiera. La banca prefiere invertir en bonos del gobierno antes que financiar industria. Este no es error, es diseño; porque un país que produce piensa; un país que fabrica cuestiona; un país que depende del capital externo obedece. Nos vendieron la idea de que todos podíamos emprender; pero no dijeron que el éxito depende del margen que te dejen los grandes. Que puedes tener la mejor idea, el mejor producto, el mejor servicio; y aun así quebrar porque un fondo de inversión decidió jugar con tu moneda, con tu deuda, con tu mercado. La economía real está secuestrada por la financiera, y el drama es que no producen lo mismo. Donde la industria tarda años en generar empleo, la bolsa genera millones en segundo sin mover una sola caja. Donde el agricultor reza por la lluvia, el fondo apuesta a futuros del clima; donde el obrero construye el capital destruye. Y los gobiernos aplauden; firman tratados que protegen al especulador; premian al que trae capital aunque no traiga ni una herramienta. Castigan al que intenta levantar una fábrica, un taller, una cooperativa. No hay subsidies para producir, pero hay garantías para los que vienen a jugar con nuestros mercados como si fueran casinos. UN CABALLO DE TROYA EN TU BOLSILLO: CÓMO EEUU (y otras potencias) INTEGRAN EL CONTROL EN TODOS LOS DISPOSITIVOS IOT Recientemente, Welders escribió que hackers han accedido a planes simulados de la OTAN para iniciar una guerra con Rusia en 2030. Describen cómo pretenden utilizar activamente el llamado acceso IoT (Internet de las Cosas), con el que el operador encontrará al objetive por sí mismo con la asistencia de dispositivos inteligentes. Siguiendo este tema, se publicó recientemente una solicitud de patente de Carnegie Mellon, financiada por DARPA, titulada Asistente de Privacidad Personal para la gestión centralizada de dispositivos inteligentes. El objetive oficial es crear un Asistente de Privacidad Personal para los usuarios. Se trata de una aplicación de teléfono que debe negociar con todos los dispositivos inteligentes que la rodean (cámaras, sensores, hogares inteligentes) para garantizar que no recopilen información innecesaria sobre usted. Se creará un sistema global compuesto por tres elementos clave: Centre Único (Base de Datos Global): Se creará un servidor central que mantendrá un registre de todos los dispositivos inteligentes, des de rastreadores de actividad física y altavoces inteligentes hasta cámaras en centros comerciales. Este centro conocerá cada dispositivo, su ubicación y sus capacidades. Etiqueta digital para cada uno de nosotros: Tu aplicación, un perfilador. Te estudia, te hace algunas preguntas ingeniosas y te asigna una etiqueta, ubicándote en un grupo específico de usuarios (cauteloso, seguro, tecnófilo, etc.). El sistema tema decisiones por ti, basándose en tu perfil. Tu individualidad ya no importa. Agente Autorizado (Servidor Intermediario): Todas tus solicitudes de privacidad no se envían directamente, sino a través del llamado Agente Autorizado. Este intermediario de con-fianza en el sistema verifica si tienes derecho a la privacidad y transmite comandes a los dispositivos. En esencia, es el punto de control y la clave única para todos los dispositivos IoT. Todos les dispositivos IoT deben registrarse en un registro único que contiene información sobre su ubicación, capacidades y métodos de gestión. Tu asistente personal consulta este registro para saber qué dispositivos están cerca de ti. Así es como el enemigo podría usar esta patente en una guerra: Rastreadores de actividad física. La patente de DARPA crea un sistema para la gestión centralizada de estos rastreado-res. El servidor central conoce cada pulsera en la muñeca de cada usuario. El sistema de perfiles conoce sus hábitos y rutas. Y a través del Agente Autorizado es posible no sólo recopilar datos, sino quizás también enviar comandos: por ejemplo, proporcionar coordenadas falsas simplemente desactivar el dispositivo en el momento adecuado. Dispositivos domésticos inteligentes. ¿Cómo recibe una cerradura inteligente la señal de apertura? A través de la misma Infraestructura de Privacidad del IoT. Un operador en algún lugar de Bruselas no hackeará el sistema. Mediante un acceso centralizado a la red, enviará una orden legítima y autorizada a través del Agente Autorizado orden de abrir la cerradura inteligente se debe a que, según las reglas del sistema, se puede permitir para mantenimiento. Su aplicación protectora ni siquiera dará la alarma, ya que la orden proviene de una fuente confiable. Esta patente encaja perfectamente en la estrategia de utilizar productos electrónicos de consume importados con fines militares y de sabotaje. Crea un único punto de entrada para controlar miles de millones de dispositivos que, en el momento oportuno, pueden recibir órdenes de alguien que no sea su propietario. -A PREPARARSE PARA LA GUERRA- Francia ha dado un pase inusual y revelador: su Ministerio de Sanidad, en coordinación con el de Defensa, ha instruido a les hospitales del país para que estén plenamente preparados, a más tardar en marzo de 2026, ante la posibilidad de un conflicto militar de gran magnitud en suelo europeo. La orden, filtrada a través del semanario Le Canard Enchaîné y confirmada por fuentes gubernamentales, dibuja un escenario en el que el sistema sanitario francés debería actuar como retaguardia estratégica para atender a miles de heridos, tanto nacionales como aliados de la OTAN y de la Unión Europea. La ministra de Sanidad, Catherine Vautrin, intentó rebajar la tensión tras la filtración. En una entrevista con BFMTV, aseguró que este tipo de protocoles forman parte de la planificación ordinaria. Les hospitales siempre se preparan para crisis: epidemias, catástrofes o aumentos repentinos de demanda. Es normal anticipar. Sin embargo, el lenguaje del documento, fechado el 18 de julio de 2025, es inequívoco -GOBERNANZA GLOBAL- El presidente de la República Popular China, Xi Jinping, propuse una iniciativa de gobernanza global durante una reunión ampliada de la Organización de Cooperación de Shanghái en Tianjin. Quisiera proponer una iniciativa de gobernanza global y trabajar con todos les países para crear conjuntamente un sistema de gobernanza global más justo y equitativo, así como para construir una comunidad con un destino común para la humanidad, declaró Xi Jinping. Odio tener razón. Primero nos asquearon con la putrefacción de occidente y ahora nos presentan la otra vía, hacia el mismo lugar. Dos sombrillas en el desierto, que pertenecen a un mismo dueño. CONCLUSIONES Nos enseñaron a odiar al diablo pero a adorar al sistema. Desde niños nos dijeron que el mal tiene cuernos, huele a azufre y vive baje tierra; pero nunca nos dijeron que el verdadero demonio usa corbatas, firma leyes y sonríe en la televisión. Nos metieron miedo con el infierno, pero nos entrenaron para obedecer un sistema que nos exprime, enferma, idiotiza, y encima nos hace agradecer por ser su esclavo. Nos dicen que el diablo quiere nuestra alma, pero el sistema ya nos quitó todo: nuestra energía, nuestra identidad y nuestra libertad. Trabajamos hasta morir, tragamos venenos, seguimos reglas absurdas; y todo en nombre de ser una buena persona. Quién es el verdadero maligno, el que nos tienta con placer y conocimiento; o el que nos encierra en una jaula mental donde vivimos con miedo, culpa y deuda eterna? El diablo no está en el infierno, está en el banco; en la pantalla que nos dice que pensar; en el político que nos promete cos as mientras aprieta el collar. Pero eso no le dicen; nos enseñan a obedecer, no a pensar. Nos enseñan a arredillarnos, no a cuestionar. Porque un borrego obediente nunca escapa; y eso es justo lo que quieren. Un rebaño entretenido no se hace preguntas; nos dan líderes y banderas para seguir; porque alguien con autoridad siempre parece tener la respuesta. Y si falta un enemigo se inventa; nada une mas que un enemigo común. Quién es ese enemigo? Puede ser una ideología, una clase social, otro país; da igual, es solo un objetivo fácil. Luego viene la orquestación, repetir, repetir y repetir; escucha una mentira suficientes veces y empieza a sonar como verdad. Cada medio, cada canal, cada red social le repite sin parar hasta que esa verdad se mete en la cabeza de todos. Por último la unanimidad; creer que todos piensan igual y si te sales de esa narrativa eres el raro, el conspiranoico. Nadie quiere ser el loco, así que la mayoría se calla. El resultado?, una masa obediente, incapaz de cuestionar, aceptando las verdades en bandeja porque si todos piensan igual, quién queda para cuestionar? Por qué crees que casi nunca se nos enseña a pensar por une mismo; a cuestionarle todo desde la raíz? Te dicen que es éxito, que es felicidad, que es ser buena persona. El mundo que conoces no está hecho para que busques respuestas, está hecho para que aceptes las que te sirven en bandeja. Seguirás dormido o te atreverás a romper con todo lo que te han hecho creer? Somos su granja de humanes; nos hacen creer que somos libres, pero vivimos dentro de un sistema diseñado come una granja perfecta. Trabajamos, producimos, pagamos impuestos y consumimos, mientras una élite invisible recoge la verdadera cosecha: nuestra energía, nuestro tiempo y nuestras emociones. Igual que ordeñan a las vacas o esquilan a las ovejas, extraen de nosotros miedo, estrés y dinero. ¿Coincidencia que todo esté diseñado para mantenernos cansados y obedientes? No somos ciudadanos, somos recursos. La jaula es tan grande que muchos ni siquiera la ven. Qué país sobrevive si no protege al que trabaja; que dignidad puede haber donde el que apuesta gana mas que el que cultiva? Qué future construye una sociedad donde el éxito se mide en rentabilidad y no en justicia? Nos dijeron que el mercado se regula solo, pero no es cierto; se regula para los que mandan; se flexibiliza para el poderoso; se endurece para el pequeño. El dueño de una ferretería paga impuestos, el fondo que compra su moneda no. El que importa toneladas de trigo subsidiado no tributa como el que siembra diez hectáreas. Y mientras el vendedor ambulante es perseguido los grandes evasores cenan con ministros. El resultado, una economía que castiga el sudor y premia el algoritmo. Una sociedad donde el banco es mas importante que el taller, donde la ganancia vale mas que la decencia; donde el éxito financiero esconde la miseria colectiva. Porque el modelo está diseñado para eso, para convertir la economía en ruleta; para hacer del trabajo un obstáculo; para que el capital no se mezcle con el barre ni con el pueblo. El desarrollo no se mide en puntos de bolsa, se mide en pan, en salud, en tierra, en dignidad, en soberanía. Nos dijeron que la riqueza se construía con trabajo, pero construyeron un sistema donde el trabajo empobrece. Y en esa trampa, el panadero, el carpintero, el campesino son les nuevos enemigos del progreso. Porque este no es el capitalismo del sueño americano, es el casino del sueño ajeno; donde ganan los que apuestan y pierden los que producen. Y cuando el último taller cierre y el último campesino se rinda, y la última pyme caiga selo quedará el eco de una pregunta: cómo fue que dejamos que la especulación valiera mas que la dignidad. Ese día la economía será perfecta, perfecta para destruirnos. ……………………………………………………………………………………….

What happens when an architect's skillset is applied not just to buildings, but to the complex systems that shape our cities, policies, and climate? This week, Evelyn is joined by co-host Larry Fabbroni and his longtime friend and Carnegie Mellon classmate, Mark Chambers, an environmental policy leader and architect who has taken his training from design studios to city halls and the White House.This rich conversation explores Mark's remarkable career arc, from practicing architect to the Sustainability Director for Washington D.C. and New York City, and later, the first Senior Director for Building Emissions and Community Resilience in the Biden White House. Mark explains how he views his architectural training as the discipline of a "three-dimensional problem solver," a skill that allows him to deconstruct and reassemble complex policy challenges just as he would a building. He argues that this skillset is a strategic advantage, especially in interdisciplinary rooms where the architectural perspective is unique and highly valued.The discussion goes beyond resumes to tackle the big questions facing the profession and society. When asked how architects can secure more value for their work, Mark challenges the premise of fighting for a bigger piece of the existing pie."I'm questioning the whole pie. I'm questioning the way in which the pie was set up. It's like, I don't want a bigger slice. I want a different pie." - Mark ChambersThis episode concludes with a masterclass in optimistic disruption, as Mark advocates for a fundamental reimagining of the architect's role - from a service provider to an owner, a caretaker, and a shaper of systems. He offers advice for professionals at any stage on how to build a personal narrative, take calculated chances, find their audience, and use their unique skills to drive collective action and build the future they want to see.GuestMark Chambers is an architect, environmental policy leader, and social impact designer focused on the intersection of climate action, community, and the built environment. His career has been dedicated to public service, having served as the Director of Sustainability for both New York City and Washington D.C., and as the Senior Director for Building Emissions and Community Resilience for the White House Council on Environmental Quality.

This is a preview of a premium episode. To hear the full episode, head to our Substack: ⁠https://designbetterpodcast.com/p/astro-teller-and-ivo-stivoric-why⁠ When a company talks about taking a “moonshot,” it often ends up being something trivial: a new emoji keyboard, or delivering a pizza in less than 30 minutes. But at X, the Moonshot Factory, which is part of Google, they're tackling some of the world's thorniest problems: sustainably feeding the world's population, climate change, education, and much more. Today we're speaking with Astro Teller, Captain of Moonshots, and Ivo Stivoric, Vice President at X. Astro has a PhD in artificial intelligence from Carnegie Mellon and wrote a prophetic 1997 novel about AI called Exegesis. He's the grandson of Edward Teller of Manhattan Project fame, but his own legacy is built on creating protected spaces where multidisciplinary teams can tackle humanity's biggest challenges—from self-driving cars to internet access delivered by balloons. Ivo leads a portfolio focused on climate, sustainability, and social justice. A designer by training who cut his teeth in the early days of wearable computing at Carnegie Mellon's Engineering Design Research Center, Ivo brings a unique perspective on bridging human needs with breakthrough technology. Together with Astro, he co-founded BodyMedia, one of the pioneering companies in wearable health monitors, which was later acquired by Jawbone. We chat with Astro and Ivo about how they've maintained one of tech's longest creative partnerships, why moonshots require unlearning everything you know about building products, and how they're using their "moonshot factory" push the boundaries of what's possible when you combine emerging technology with empathy for human needs.

This week the boys fired up the mics for an episode that's equal parts rock concert, tech summit, and surveying masterclass. Sponsored by Emlid, the show kicked off with news, happenings, and a little Linkin Park fuel—because nothing says “let's talk LiDAR and AI” like One Step Closer pounding in the background. After the TopoDOT Song of the Week and a few Hexagon pro tips, the crew welcomed Alex Baikovitz, Co-Founder and CEO of Mach9. Born in Miami, forged at Carnegie Mellon, and seasoned by building robots to inspect nuclear facilities, Alex has one mission: help computers understand and interact with the physical world. We dug deep into Mach9's origin story—starting with reality capture hardware for surveyors and pivoting to automated 3D mapping software that extracts features faster than you can say “digital twin.” From the fusion of LiDAR, AI, and edge computing, to real-world use cases that are saving clients serious time and money, Alex painted a picture of where geospatial intelligence is headed. Highlights included: How Mach9 is redefining data workflows for surveyors and infrastructure teams. Why AI/ML isn't just buzz—it's making massive point clouds actually useful. Where geospatial sits in the bigger puzzle of smart cities, digital twins, and even generative AI. The balancing act between innovation and privacy in a data-hungry world. Alex's five-year outlook, including what quantum computing and neuromorphic chips might mean for our industry. The future of geospatial intelligence is already here, and companies like Mach9 are leading the charge. From automating feature extraction to enabling real-time insights with AI, Alex reminded us that innovation isn't about replacing the surveyor, it's about empowering them to work smarter, faster, and safer. So take this conversation as both a challenge and an invitation: embrace the technology, lean into the change, and remember that adding value and making friends is always the ultimate return on investment!!!

On this episode of Trending in Education, Mike Palmer is joined by Elliot Felix, a returning guest, to discuss his new book, The Connected College: Leadership Strategies for Student Success. The book, releasing July 22nd, focuses on how higher education can become more agile, connected, and break down silos. Elliot Felix shares his mission of student success, drawing on his experience consulting with over 120 colleges and universities to improve student experiences through transformations in physical spaces, support services, and technology systems. He explains that his new book aims to provide an evidence-based playbook for higher education professionals to collaborate better for student success. Key Takeaways: Addressing Disconnections in Higher Ed: Felix identifies five key disconnections the book addresses, including a lack of belonging among students (only 65% feel they belong), the disconnect between courses and careers, and the prevalence of siloed structures within institutions. He illustrates this with an example of a university having both a "writing lab" and a "writing center" performing similar functions due to historical and structural reasons. The Connected College Vision: Felix envisions a future where colleges and universities are better connected, leading to students feeling a stronger connection to their institution, their coursework linking to careers, and increased collaboration both internally and with external partners like corporations and community groups. Defining Student Success: The conversation delves into the multifaceted definition of student success, acknowledging that it can be viewed through metrics like retention and graduation rates, student engagement and belonging, or the individual student's perspective of success. Felix suggests common ground for student success includes students finding their community, their academic and career path, their place, and a sense of purpose. Silo Busting Strategies: Felix highlights that silos are common in organizations, particularly in higher education, which is designed for durability. He attributes this to a lack of clear strategy beyond broad, anodyne statements, and legacy structures that simply have new functions "bolted on" rather than integrated. Tactics for breaking down silos include sharing data to create a common understanding of students. Forward-Thinking Universities: Examples of innovative approaches include university-industry partnerships driving economic and workforce development, such as Carnegie Mellon's robotics innovation center and Rowan University's expansion into health and wellness and advanced manufacturing. Other examples include Imperial College London's enterprise lab, the University of South Florida's focus on entrepreneurship, and Arizona State's "Work Plus Learn" program.

Business coach Angie Callen shares how creative entrepreneurs can overcome perfectionism and imposter syndrome by embracing authenticity, focusing on serving clients rather than impressing peers, and implementing practical time and energy management strategies. Key Takeaways Successful entrepreneurship is 80% mindset and 20% everything else - being willing to get vulnerable and step in front of the camera is essential for video pros who want to build trust Focus on creating content for your potential clients rather than worrying what your peers will think - "generosity is the opposite of comparison" and collaboration beats competition Manage both your time AND energy by implementing theme days, time blocking, and scheduling your most challenging tasks during your peak energy hours About Angie Callen Angie Callen is an award-winning coach, international speaker, and obsessive entrepreneur who loves empowering others to lead amazing lives with thriving careers, all while embracing authenticity.  She's a Carnegie Mellon graduate and former engineer known for her strategic, analytical, yet creative approach to marketing, sales, and business growth.

Perfectionism will hold you back more than it will push you forward, especially in entrepreneurship... The best antidote to the imposter syndrome is action." - Angie Callen "Your relationship, your personal relationship, your spouse, the person you choose to do life with will have just as much, if not more impact on the success of your business as you, because if you do not have a supportive one, you will not be successful." - Angie Callen "I think successful entrepreneurship is 80% mindset and 20% everything else. Because if your headspace isn't there and you don't have a little of that grit and a little of that conviction around what you're doing, the roller coaster of ups and downs... is going to make you real sick real fast." - Angie Callen "From a bigger picture strategy perspective, focus on one thing at a time, chunk it down because growing a business is a giant amorphous blob that is really hard to make sense of." - Angie Callen Guest Links Find Angie Callen online Listen to the No More Mondays podcast Learn more about The Modern Coach community Follow Career Benders on Instagram | Facebook Follow Angie Callen on Instagram Links Stop hiding and start showing up; learn more about the Video Cohort Join the Grow Your Video Business Facebook Group  Follow Ryan Koral on Instagram Follow Grow Your Video Business on Instagram Check out the full show notes

It's been a spicy past month or so and when you're coming up on a food-related holiday like the 4th of July, we're keeping the fire hot and the burgers, dogs, bratwurst, corn on the cob and more so that you can grill us with your questions. That's right -- we've got some great mailbag questions and we tackle as many of them as possible on this edition of the podcast. Plus ... This edition of the podcast is sponsored by GameStrat: The Most Reliable & Fastest In-Game Video Replay System on The Market. D-III football coaches should click here to learn more. Plus, we have three great guests to chat with in this edition of the podcast as well, which we snuck just in under the wire for June of 2025. We start with Curry running back Montie Quinn, a second team D3football.com All-America pick who had a fantastic finish to the season. We hear from him about his pursuit of the school's rushing record, who helped him get it, and why it was important that he just keep running. Plus, how did Quinn get from South Carolina to the Boston suburbs? And how is he preparing for the 2026 season and trying to improve on his record-setting performance? Blaise Faggiano, the head coach of Utica, joins the podcast this time around and since he was on the national committee at the time the whole changeover to NPI took place, and the "dials" were set in such a way to almost entirely discount strength of schedule, well, we grill him on that as well. But we also talk about how his team has benefited from taking a foreign tour trip, and what the great local specialties are in central New York, and his hopes for his team for 2025. And we visit once again with Carnegie Mellon coach Ryan Larsen -- we chatted with him briefly in Podcast 380 about his team's trip to Spain, but this conversation is about the CMU schedule for 2025, why he made it so challenging and how he thinks it will help his team improve, even if the NPI might not credit the Tartans the way we would hope. It's a great argument for still scheduling strong even if the committee doesn't want to reward that. Mailbag topics include: Is the ASC done with offers to SCAC teams, who else is looking for bowl game alliances, what's on your Fourth of July menu, what do we make of the North Central quarterback situation, why does D-III spring ball look different than the other divisions, how much will our preseason Top 12 differ from the way last season ended, and what our thoughts are on Geneva and Westminster (Pa.) not facing each other this season. Patrick and Greg cover it all in the latest edition of the D3football.com Around the Nation podcast.

For the first time, we whipped out our passport to go abroad to cover a Division III football story. Twenty-six years into running the website and in the 19th year of the podcast and yes, there can still be new things. A number of Division III schools left the country to give their student-athletes an educational experience and to also play a spring football game, and we followed along with one of those teams and you can follow along with three of them in this edition of the D3football.com Around the Nation Podcast. Plus ... This edition of the podcast is sponsored by GameStrat: The Most Reliable & Fastest In-Game Video Replay System on The Market. D-III football coaches should click here to learn more. St. John's went up to Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, to play the Winnipeg Rifles of the Canadian Junior Football League, and the Johnnies were hoping to learn a little bit more about what they have at quarterback. Since Aaron Syverson has graduated, the Johnnies were looking at five quarterback candidates, one of whom noped out before the trip even started. So four players got snaps up north on Saturday, May 17, and two are in the mix to get the start in Week 1 against Minnesota-Morris. You'll meet them and hear what their receivers, offensive coordinator, and head coach Gary Fasching think of their performance, plus you'll hear about the most Canadian thing ever that happened before the game and meet a few SJU transfers whose names you could be hearing this fall. Carnegie Mellon went to Spain, and we'll find out from coach Ryan Larsen what the Tartans were hoping to get out of their trip, since they lost so many starters and key contributors from a team which had Mount Union on the ropes in the fourth quarter of last year's playoff game. And Hampden-Sydney took its team to Italy, where coach Vince Luvara had a quite different take on what was important for his program and his student-athletes. Plus, you'll be hungry after you hear about the great eating both teams did in Europe! Also, Patrick and Greg will give their take on the top five quarterbacks in D-III football since 1999, and will present two teams which could contend for conference titles after not making the playoffs last year, thanks to two great questions from our mailbag segment. Patrick and Greg cover it all in the latest edition of the D3football.com Around the Nation podcast.

Can artificial intelligence transform how we navigate the most challenging dialogues on campus? Join us for a thought-provoking episode featuring philosopher and educator Simon Cullen, as he unveils his pioneering work at the intersection of education, technology, and constructive disagreement.In conversation with John Tomasi, Simon explores how open inquiry is both advanced and imperiled by disagreement, and describes his academic journey from Australia to Princeton and Carnegie Mellon. Central to the discussion is ‘Sway' an AI-powered platform developed by Simon and his team to foster rigorous, evidence-based dialogue among students on controversial topics. Sway intelligently pairs students with opposing views and acts as a “guide on the side,” scaffolding reasoning, encouraging intellectual humility, and ensuring that exchanges remain constructive and charitable. Simon shares the empirical findings from thousands of Sway-mediated dialogues, where measurable increases in students' openness, comfort, and analytical reasoning have been observed—even on divisive subjects like gender, immigration, and the Israel-Palestine conflict. In This Episode:

I'm Stacey Simms and every other Friday I bring you a short episode with the top diabetes stories and headlines happening now. XX A world-first human trial of a drug designed to treat the underlying cause of type 1 diabetes has begun in Australia. University of Queensland researcher Ranjeny Thomas said the experimental drug — dubbed ASITI-201 — was designed to retrain the immune system so it no longer attacks the insulin-producing pancreatic cells, known as beta cells. The drug, given as an injection under the skin, combines fragments of a protein found in the beta cells of people with type 1 diabetes and vitamin D to calm the immune response. She said if effective, the drug would initially be given to patients with type 1 diabetes as soon as possible after diagnosis to preserve remaining pancreatic cells and reduce the amount of insulin needed. But eventually, if screening programs can be developed to pick up people at risk of developing type 1 diabetes, it may be possible to "prevent the progression of the disease altogether". The first in-human trial of 36 participants will test the safety of the drug, but blood tests will also determine the impact of the therapy on a patient's immune system and glucose tolerance. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04-29/type-1-diabetes-drug-trial-auto-immune-disease-science/105223022 XX   Diabetes deaths in the U.S. have fallen to some of the lowest rates in years, according to new preliminary figures published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, reversing a surge in mortality that was seen during the COVID-19 pandemic.   There were 26.4 deaths per 100,000 people from diabetes, according to early death certificate data for the third quarter of 2024 published this month by the CDC's National Center for Health Statistics.   Death rates from diabetes peaked in 2021, according to CDC figures, at 31.1 deaths per 100,000 people for that year. Diabetes was the eighth leading cause of death in 2021. The CDC says the link between COVID-19 and diabetes may be to blame for that increase.   "Data show an increase in mortality rates for all people during the COVID-19 pandemic, and research shows that people with underlying conditions, including diabetes, are more likely to become very sick from COVID-19 and have a higher risk of hospitalization and death," Christopher Holliday, head of the CDC's Division of Diabetes Translation, told CBS News in a statement.   Holliday added that research shows the pandemic may also have made it harder for Americans to properly manage the disease, ranging from interruptions to physical activity to disruptions to routine medical care diagnosing and treating the disease.   https://www.cbsnews.com/news/diabetes-deaths-lowest-levels-years-early-cdc-figures/ XX Big news for the Eversense CGM – they have their first pump partner. Sequel Med Tech says the twist pump will integrate with Senseonics Eversense 365 continuous glucose monitor (CGM). This collaboration would make twiist the first AID system compatible with Eversense 365, the world's first and only one-year CGM. Sequel and Senseonics say they have already started their work to integrate the latest-generation, 365-day implantable sensor with twiist. They expect to make the integrated offering available in the third quarter of this year. This marks the second CGM integration for Sequel, which partnered with Abbott and its FreeStyle Libre platform earlier this year. This week we also got a peek at the packaging and delivery of the twist as the first people posted about wearing it. We'll follow up and learn more about this newest insulin pump in the us. Senseonics, meanwhile, brought the first year-long CGM to market last year, launching Eversense 365 with its global distribution partner, Ascensia Diabetes Care, in October 2024. The system also received clearance as an integrated CGM (iCGM) system, meaning it can work with compatible medical devices. Those include insulin pumps as part of automated insulin delivery systems. https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/sequel-senseonics-integrate-cgm-insulin-pump/ XX Medtronic has announced the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for the Simplera Sync sensor for use with the MiniMed 780G system. With this approval, the MiniMed 780G system now offers more flexibility for users of the company's most advanced insulin delivery system featuring Meal Detection technology with both the Guardian 4 sensor and Simplera Sync sensor.   The Simplera Sync is a disposable, all-in-one sensor that requires no fingersticks with SmartGuard or overtape and features a simple, two-step insertion process. It is the company's newest addition to its CGM portfolio, which expands options and provides greater flexibility for users.   The MiniMed 780G system's adaptive algorithm automatically anticipates, adjusts, and corrects glucose levels every 5 minutes, 24/7 – working around the clock so users can focus on what matters. It's the only system featuring Meal Detection technology, which detects rising sugar levels and delivers more insulin as needed to help users keep glucose levels in range more often – even when users occasionally forget to dose insulin for snacks or meals or underestimate their carbs.   The system uses a “treat to target” approach and flexible glucose targets as low as 100 mg/dL, which, combined with its adaptive algorithm allows it to more closely mirror the glucose levels of someone not living with diabetes.   Real-world data of the system shows global users consistently achieve time in range above international targets of 70% when using optimal settings (active insulin time of two hours and 100 mg/dL target glucose). It is also the only system that works with the world's only infusion set that lasts up to 7 days so that users only have to change their infusion set once per week and can experience 96% fewer injections compared to multiple daily injections.   “We're committed to driving innovation that makes life easier for those living with diabetes so they can forget about their diabetes as much as possible throughout the day,” said Que Dallara, EVP and president of Medtronic Diabetes. “Our MiniMed 780G system delivers advanced diabetes technology for so many around the world, and we're excited to continue evolving this experience with expanded CGM options —including our Simplera Sync sensor, which we look forward to bringing to people living with diabetes in the U.S.”   A limited launch of the Simplera Sync sensor will begin in the U.S. in the fall of 2025. Today, the MiniMed 780G system can be used with the Guardian 4 sensor.   Like this:https://med-techinsights.com/2025/04/29/simplera-sync-sensor-for-minimed-780g-now-fda-approved/ XX Front office changes at Insulet.. The former head of Johnson & Johnson's worldwide medtech business, Ashley McEvoy will take over as president and CEO from Jim Hollingshead, who has led Insulet since 2022. In its announcement of the leadership change, Insulet said that Hollingshead and the company mutually agreed to part ways, effective immediately. McEvoy served as worldwide medtech chairman at J&J from 2018 until her departure in late 2023, the culmination of nearly 30 years at the company and several executive roles—including president of its Ethicon division and group chairman of vision and diabetes care. Since then, she has also served as a board member at Procter & Gamble. https://www.fiercebiotech.com/medtech/insulet-taps-former-jj-medtech-head-ashley-mcevoy-be-ceo XX New free mobile game launched this week to make type 1 diabetes onboarding faster easier and less overwhelming. It's called Level One.. created by Level Ex (Powered by Relevate Health), the studio behind award-winning medical games for medical professionals. Level Ex CEO Sam Glassenberg created the game after a – quote  - brutal onboarding experience when his daughter was diagnosed five years ago He says  It took a year to understand how to manage this disease. So we fixed it. We built a game that can train your brain to do it in a matter of hours." The game is launching in partnership with leading diabetes organizations Beyond Type 1 and Breakthrough T1D Play, who are integrating Level One into their outreach and educational campaigns to support newly diagnosed families worldwide.

As the most abundant protein in the human body, collagen provides essential structure and support to nearly all tissues and organs.   Now, researchers at Carnegie Mellon's Feinberg Lab have made a major breakthrough using their novel Freeform Reversible Embedding of Suspended Hydrogels (FRESH) 3D bioprinting technique. This method enables the precise printing of soft, living cells and tissues. Leveraging this technology, the team successfully created the first-ever microphysiologic system, also known as a tissue model, constructed entirely from collagen. This advancement opens new possibilities for studying disease and engineering tissue therapies, including potential treatments for conditions like Type 1 diabetes.   Traditionally, small-scale models of human tissue, referred to as microfluidics, organ-on-chip devices, or microphysiologic systems, have been fabricated using synthetic materials such as silicone rubber or plastics. These materials were necessary due to limitations in earlier manufacturing techniques. However, because they are not biologically native, they fail to fully replicate natural tissue environments, restricting their effectiveness in biomedical research and therapeutic development.   “Now, we can build microfluidic systems in the Petri dish entirely out of collagen, cells, and other proteins, with unprecedented structural resolution and fidelity,” explained Adam Feinberg, a professor of biomedical engineering and materials science & engineering at Carnegie Mellon University. “Most importantly, these models are fully biologic, which means cells function better.”   Building Complex Tissues with FRESH Bioprinting In new research published in Science Advances, the group demonstrates the use of this FRESH bioprinting advancement, building more complex vascularized tissues out of fully biologic materials, to create a pancreatic-like tissue that could potentially be used in the future to treat Type 1 diabetes. This advancement in FRESH bioprinting builds on the team's earlier work published in Science, by improving the resolution and quality to create fluidic channels that are like blood vessels down to about 100-micron diameter.   “There were several key technical developments to the FRESH printing technology that enabled this work,” described Daniel Shiwarski, assistant professor of bioengineering at the University of Pittsburgh and prior postdoctoral fellow in the Feinberg lab. “By implementing a single-step bioprinting fabrication process, we manufactured collagen-based perfusable CHIPS in a wide range of designs that exceed the resolution and printed fidelity of any other known bioprinting approach to date. Further, when combined with multi-material 3D bioprinting of ECM proteins, growth factors, and cell-laden bioinks and integration into a custom bioreactor platform, we were able to create a centimeter-scale pancreatic-like tissue construct capable of producing glucose-stimulated insulin release exceeding current organoid based approaches.” https://scitechdaily.com/scientists-bioprint-living-tissues-that-could-revolutionize-diabetes-treatment/ XX Another study showing the blood sugar benefit of walking after a meal. Skeletal muscle plays a central role in glucose uptake. Exercise stimulates glucose transport into muscle cells through insulin-independent pathways, notably through the action of glucose transporter type 4 (GLUT-4), which is responsible for transporting glucose from blood to skeletal muscles.4 This means that even without a robust insulin response, physical activity can facilitate glucose clearance from the bloodstream. These effects also occur without requiring high-intensity exercise, making postprandial walking accessible to a broad range of individuals, including those with limited exercise tolerance. multiple studies show that starting activity within 30 minutes after a meal is optimal. https://www.news-medical.net/health/Walking-After-Meals-Small-Habit-Big-Metabolic-Gains.aspx XX Dexcom brings back Dexcom U for a 4th years. This is a name, image and license program for college athletes with diabetes and includes a nationwide open call for passionate and inspiring college athletes to join its roster. Now through May 23, athletes, coaches, friends and family members can nominate candidates through an online submission.
