Hva skal til for at flere bygg bevares i stedet for å rives? I denne episoden av Science4Impact møter vi arkitekt Anniken Willmann, vinner av Skift-prisen under AHO Works Awards ved Arkitektur- og designhøgskolen i Oslo. Med diplomprosjektet, Challenging the Demolition Default – Reimagining Frognerhjemmet, tar hun et oppgjør med rivenormen i norsk byggebransje. Gjennom prosjektet viser Willmann hvordan bevaring, ombruk og bærekraftige materialer kan gi nytt liv til eksisterende bygg, med både gamle og nye funksjoner. Hun deler hvilke argumenter som ofte brukes for å rettferdiggjøre riving, hva som må til for reell systemendring, og hvordan innsikten fra Frognerhjemmet kan bidra til omstilling av byggenæringen. God lytting!
When is Y90 the right treatment for metastatic disease? Join Drs. Tyler Sandow, Zach Berman and host Kavi Krishnasamy in the conclusion of Dosimetry University where they discuss the complexities of treating different variations of metastatic disease and review how they've approached complicated cases with Y90. --- SYNPOSIS The interventional oncologists first outline the types of metastases that they treat, including colorectal, lung, cholangiocarcinoma, breast, gastric, RCC, and melanoma. The doctors then discuss the potential for Y90 to provide palliative relief by reducing tumor-related pain. The conversation also covers key differences between treating liver-dominant and liver-only disease, along with their algorithm for patients not on systemic chemotherapy.The episode then covers advanced concepts in Y90, such as sub-ablative dosing, the possibility of creating an abscopal effect, and how radiation thresholds change depending on treatment goals. They outline their approach to partition dosimetry, using SPECT/CT to calculate tumor-to-normal ratios, and explain how they modify particle counts and microsphere activity, using flow augmentation based on tumor vascularity. Additional discussion includes the impact of mutation status, prior lines of chemotherapy, and tumor response criteria like RECIST 1.1 and mRECIST. The experts conclude with a case series that illustrates decision-making around when to consider Y90, thermal ablation, TACE, or alternative approaches—even in complex cases like sphincter of Oddi dysfunction. The session underscores the nuanced nature of advanced dosimetric techniques and the evolving landscape of interventional oncology. --- TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Introduction 01:30 - Types of Metastases Treated with Y9002:50 - Liver-Dominant vs. Liver-Only Disease 07:20 - Sub-Ablative Dosing and the Abscopal Effect09:55 - Tips for Partition Dosimetry 15:30 - Clinical Factors in Treatment Planning23:50 - Choosing Ablation, Resection, or Y90 for mCRC30:27 - Case Series: Colorectal Metastases, Biliary Complications, and more46:00 - Final Thoughts: The Evolving Field --- RESOURCES RECIST 1.1 and mRECIST Criteria:https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9161105/ COLLISION Trial:https://ascopubs.org/doi/10.1200/JCO.2024.42.17_suppl.LBA3501 BackTable Episode on COLLISION Trial:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQLKcv1BRVM FOXFIRE, SIRFLOX, FOXFIRE-Global:https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanonc/article/PIIS1470-2045(17)30457-6/fulltext

Welcome to the first episode of Supply, Trust, and the Business of Pharmacy hosted by Andrew Crawford.
What happens when someone is both neurodivergent and fat in a world that punishes difference? In this solo episode, Dr. Marianne unpacks how fatphobia and ableism intersect to create barriers in medical care, mental health treatment, and everyday life for people with ADHD, autism, PDA, and other forms of neurodivergence. She explores why fat liberation and neurodivergent rights must go hand-in-hand, and how body justice is essential—not optional—in eating disorder recovery, therapy, and community care. From sensory needs and executive functioning to the pressure to mask and shrink, this episode offers a powerful call to unlearn bias and build liberatory spaces where all bodies and minds are treated with dignity. Whether you're a fat neurodivergent person, a therapist, or someone committed to anti-oppressive care, this conversation is for you. CONTENT CAUTIONS: In this episode, Dr. Marianne discusses anti-fat bias, ableism, disordered eating, masking, and systemic oppression in medical and mental health settings. Please care for yourself as needed. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE: Why fat liberation is essential to neurodivergent-affirming care How anti-fat bias and ableism reinforce each other in ADHD and autism communities What executive dysfunction, sensory needs, and masking have to do with food and body shame Why fat neurodivergent people are underdiagnosed and often dismissed by providers What therapists and support people can do to stop reinforcing stigma How to practice body autonomy and community care outside of diet culture and compliance

Challenging the geographical narrative of the history of Islam, Chiara Formichi's new book Islam and Asia: A History (Cambridge University Press, 2020), helps us to rethink how we tell the story of Islam and the lived expressions of Muslims without privileging certain linguistic, cultural, and geographic realities. Focusing on themes of reform, political Islamism, Sufism, gender, as well as a rich array of material culture (such as sacred spaces and art), the book maps the development of Islam in Asia, such as in Kashmir, Indonesia, Malaysia, and China. It considers both transnational and transregional ebbs and flows that have defined the expansion and institutionalization of Islam in Asia, while attending to factors such as ethnicity, linguistic identity and even food cultures as important realities that have informed the translation of Islam into new regions. It is the “convergence and conversation” between the “local” and “foreign” or better yet between the theoretical notions of “centre” and “periphery” of Islam and Muslim societies that are dismantled in the book, defying any notions of Asian expressions of Islam as a “derivative reality.” The book is accessibly written and will be extremely useful in any undergraduate or graduate courses on Islam, Islam in Asia, or political Islam. The book will also be of interest to those who work on Islamic Studies and Asia Studies. Shobhana Xavier is an Assistant Professor of Religious Studies at Queen's University. Her research areas are on contemporary Sufism in North America and South Asia.

We are in the third week of our summer series on Parables, and this week we will spend some time with a familiar parable found in Luke 15 describing a lost sheep and a shepherd who notices, cares and takes action for the sake of the sheep. As we consider the values that Jesus is inviting us to ponder within this story, in what ways might this communal listening and conversation inspire us towards even greater inclusion and belonging as a community?Luke 15:1-7 (First Nations Version)The Worth of the Lost OnesTribal tax collectors and other outcasts would often gather around Creator Sets Free (Jesus) to listen to him tell his stories. But the Separated Ones (Pharisees) and the scroll keepers would complain about this. They would say things like, “This man welcomes outcasts to join him at the table and eat with him.” On one of those occasions Creator Sets Free (Jesus) answered them with a story. “Who among you, if you were caring for one hundred sheep and one of the lambs wandered away, would not leave the ninety-nine and search for that lost lamb until you found it? Would you not put that lamb on your shoulders, hurry home, and invite your friends to a celebration, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost lamb!'? In the same way, the spirit-world above will celebrate even more over one outcast who finds the way back home than for ninety-nine who are already safely there. Discussion Questions:In reading this scripture above, what words or phrases stand out to you? Is there language used in this version that causes you to pause, think or wonder? Where do you most naturally see yourself in the story (the shepherd, the flock of sheep, the outcast or lost sheep, an observer/listener)? We talked about a few Kin-dom principles or values that might be expressed through this parable. Do you resonate with any of those? Do you see any other Kin-dom values shown through this story? When you hear the phrase “Jesus takes a side” what thoughts or feelings rise up for you? In what ways might that idea be comforting? Challenging? Dangerous? If we lived out some of these values as a community, what might that look like? (where and how we go, our pace, how we spend our resources, our policies/practices.
Pastor Jolene Veenstra presents the 4th message in our Summer Psalm Series. Focused on various passages throughout the Psalms “Challenging Imagery in the Psalms”We often quote inspirational lines from the psalms about looking to the mountains, finding God in the depths, and walking through still valleys. But our favourite psalms also contain lines about devastating our enemies and being punished or abandoned by God. What are we do to with imagery in the psalms that is difficult to connect with or that challenges our own conception of God?

This episode explores the emerging challenges advocates encounter, offering insights into recognizing, preparing for, and navigating these increasingly sophisticated forms of political pushback. Attorneys for this Episode Brittany Hacker Tim Mooney Quyen Tu Evolution of Political Attacks This isn't the first time we've covered this topic—we discussed it back in earlier episodes when attacks primarily came from private organizations and non-governmental entities like Project Veritas. What's changed is the increasing use of official government investigative authority against tax-exempt organizations, including: Current Landscape: Government Investigations & Bad Faith Actors Executive Orders from the Trump administration Universities under attack and scrutiny Government agencies: Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) State Attorneys General investigations (particularly from those seeking higher office) New techniques utilizing official power with minimal basis for investigation The key challenge: These officials have great investigative power and can exercise it with the slimmest basis, using bad faith political attacks against organizations doing good community work they simply disagree with. Examples of Great Advocacy in Response Despite these attacks, many nonprofits have stepped up their advocacy: Challenging the administration in court Almost every executive order has faced legal challenges Many nonprofits have teamed up for court cases Some challenges have been successful, others ongoing Calling out attacks for what they are Naming attacks as politically motivated and in bad faith Pointing out reliance on dubious information This approach has met with significant success Solidarity in numbers Some law firms and universities initially settled with the administration Others joined together and refused to settle or capitulate Finding strength in solidarity and continuing their missions Funder support stepped up Funders creating new short-term grants Establishing legal defense funds Providing pro bono services for nonprofits Some funders publicly increased funding; others acted quietly but effectively Being Prepared: Your Best Defense Legal and Administrative Compliance The best defense is ensuring full compliance with all applicable laws so you can advocate with confidence. Advocacy Check-Up Tool: Our nonprofit self-assessment (13-page document available free on our website) Identifies opportunities to enhance compliance with tax, lobbying, election, and other laws Provides starting place to assess existing systems Helps prepare for attorney meetings with specific checklist items Key compliance areas to review: How your 501(c)(3) remains nonpartisan Staying within lobbying limits for C3 public charities Ensuring all reporting is current (IRS, FEC, local ethics commissions) Checking insurance coverage (directors & officers, liability) Board setup and bylaw compliance Document management: Store foundational documents electronically in the cloud Maintain excellent records: Clear, accurate documentation to easily prove legal compliance when needed Organizational Readiness and Communications Planning Beyond legal compliance, you need comprehensive preparation: Identify vulnerabilities: What might attackers say about your work? Communications strategy: Have a plan for public response Election season policy: Clear guidelines for staff activities Document retention policy: Know what to keep and for how long Staff training: Especially public-facing staff and volunteers Train them to recognize unusual questions outside normal scope Establish "odd question point person" to defer to Response protocols: Know what to do if attacked Legal counsel: Have a lawyer you can call or know who to contact Most Important: Don't Self-Censor Remember these are bad faith attacks. You aren't doing anything wrong. They're trying to: Separate you from your funders Separate you from your supporters Make you stop your advocacy work Avoid engaging on the substance of your work Don't fall for the trap of stopping your advocacy just because they claim you're doing something wrong. If your compliance is solid and you have a communications plan, you've likely done nothing wrong—keep doing your important work. If You Are Attacked: Response Strategy Initial Response: Don't Overreact Reassure everyone: Staff, board, key supporters that you have a plan and are executing it Share with allies: Touch base with coalitions and peer organizations Attacks often target multiple similar organizations Share what you're experiencing and your response plans Ask for help: Learn from others who've been through this; consult funders and foundations Fact-Finding and Gap Analysis Get clear on accusations: What specifically are they claiming? Assess the facts: What do you know vs. don't know? Close any gaps: You don't have to be perfect Retrain staff if needed Amend reports if necessary Address any legitimate compliance issues Response Protocol for Official Investigations When facing government actors: Request identification and documentation: Ensure it's a legitimate governmental agency with authority (warrant/subpoena) Preserve all evidence: Don't destroy documents, emails, or other records Don't obstruct government action but monitor their work (like supervising a contractor in your house) Protect privileged information: Seek legal advice on confidential/privileged materials Designate spokesperson: One staff member communicates with government actors and public to avoid conflicting messages Legal Support and Defense Seek counsel for preparation: Some aspects you can handle alone, others need legal guidance Retain counsel for formal responses: Essential for official investigations Investigate legal defense funds: If budget is tight, these are increasingly available Staying on Offense: Reframe the Narrative With a good plan in place, you can be on offense instead of defense: Call political attacks what they are Feel confident in your legal compliance Ensure staff feel safe and confident by sharing/reviewing your plan Continue your great advocacy work because you're in compliance with laws Special Thanks to Funders Shout out to funders who have stepped up during these attacks: Some have been very public about increasing funding Many have acted quietly without spotlight Both approaches are important and appreciated Creating new funding mechanisms and legal defense funds Resources Advocacy Check-Up: Nonprofit Self-Assessment Essential Strategies for Navigating Government Inquiries (Perkins Coie) Search Warrants: Dos and Don'ts (Perkins Coie) Sample 501(c)(3) Policy for Election Season Election Activities of Individuals Associated with 501(c)(3)s Practical Guidance Series: Lobbying Practical Guidance Series: Nonprofit Voter Assistance On-Demand Training: Preparing for Politically Motivated Attacks
The Barbell Mamas Podcast | Pregnancy, Postpartum, Pelvic Health
Challenging long-held beliefs about diastasis recti, this episode dives deep into groundbreaking research that's transforming how we understand abdominal separation during pregnancy and postpartum recovery.As a pelvic floor physical therapist and researcher, I've watched the online conversation around diastasis recti create unnecessary fear and restriction for active mothers. The truth? Most of what you've heard about "coning," "safe exercises," and postpartum recovery timelines isn't supported by current evidence. A shocking 60% of social media content about diastasis recti contains incorrect information according to new research by Dr. Sylvia Gaglio and colleagues.Contrary to popular advice, the evidence doesn't support that coning causes harm or worsens abdominal separation. What's more surprising: exercises that move through range of motion (like sit-ups) may be more effective for reducing inter-recti distance than static holds like planks or bird dogs. This challenges the conventional approach of keeping postpartum women in neutral positions for extended periods.The parallels between how we underdose exercise for seniors and postpartum women are striking. Out of fear of causing harm, we may be holding new mothers back from building the strength and resilience they truly need for the physical demands of parenthood. The goal isn't to eliminate all strain on your abdominal wall—it's to build a core strong enough to handle the inevitable strains of daily life and movement.Whether you're currently pregnant, navigating postpartum recovery, or working with prenatal clients, this episode offers evidence-based perspectives to help you approach core training with confidence rather than fear.

Alexis Taitel, a commercial litigator and fourth-year associate at a large firm, spent her first two years after law school clerking in federal district court. She explains what a federal clerkship really involves and how that experience helped her launch a litigation career in private practice. Alexis offers a window into her work on breach of contract cases as a mid-level associate, from pre-litigation strategy and writing compelling motions to learning how to advocate effectively from behind the scenes. She shares her love for legal writing and research, comparing research to a scavenger hunt and writing to storytelling. Alexis also reflects on the steep learning curve and pressures of the billable hour, the mentorship she's received, and how the reality of being a lawyer differs from what she once imagined. Alexis is a graduate of the University of Nevada-Las Vegas, William S. Boyd School of Law.This episode is hosted by Kyle McEntee.Mentioned in this episode:Learn more about Rutgers LawLearn more about Vermont LawAccess LawHub today!Learn more about Rutgers Law

For this special edition of TCP Talks, Justin Brodley and Matthew Kohn are joined by Chris Opat, SVP of Cloud Operations at Backblaze, to discuss how the cloud storage innovator is reshaping the industry landscape. From their origins as a consumer backup company to becoming a major player in enterprise cloud storage, Chris shares insights on AI workloads, the true cost of egress fees, and why your data doesn’t have to live in a walled garden. About Backblaze Backblaze started in 2007 with a simple mission: make storage so affordable it’s almost free. The company gained early notoriety for their DIY approach to storage infrastructure, with founders literally bending metal in apartments and conducting “gorilla storage purchasing” raids at Bay Area Best Buys and Fry’s Electronics to build their custom red storage pods. This scrappy, cost-conscious DNA remains central to the company’s identity today. In September 2015, Backblaze made their enterprise pivot with the launch of B2 Cloud Storage, entering the market at one-quarter the cost of Amazon S3. By December of that launch year, they had already attracted over 30,000 users. Today, Backblaze (NASDAQ: BLZE) manages approximately 4.7 exabytes of data across 310,000+ drives, serving over 500,000 customers in 175 countries. What sets Backblaze apart isn’t just their pricing—it’s their philosophy. While hyperscalers have built complex storage tiers with Byzantine billing structures, Backblaze offers one tier of hot storage with transparent, predictable pricing. Their recent push into AI workloads with B2 Overdrive demonstrates their ability to evolve with market demands while maintaining their core value proposition. About Chris Opat Chris Opat joined Backblaze as SVP of Cloud Operations in 2023, bringing over 25 years of experience in building teams and technology at startup and scale-up companies. Before Backblaze, he served as SVP of Platform Engineering and Operations at StackPath, specializing in edge technology and content delivery. His background includes extensive work with private equity portfolio companies, where he honed his skills in rapid transformation and growth. Chris describes himself as someone who thrives in “David vs. Goliath” scenarios, making Backblaze—with its mission to challenge the hyperscaler incumbents—a perfect fit. His passion for building exceptional technical teams and pushing technological boundaries aligns perfectly with Backblaze’s innovative culture. Interview Highlights The David vs. Goliath Mentality 3:15 Chris: “Nothing makes me happier than to watch a customer choose us over the incumbent competitors and have an exceptionally good experience. It’s easy to work for the incumbents and kind of win all the time. It feels so much better when you do it as the upstart that people don’t see coming.” Chris emphasized how Backblaze offers a fundamentally different partner experience compared to hyperscalers. While AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud may provide excellent services, they often lack the personal touch and flexibility that smaller customers need. At Backblaze, customers can directly influence product strategy and speak with decision-makers who shape the company’s direction.
Steve Gruber welcomes Maj. Gen. John F. King, retired U.S. Army National Guard General, Georgia Insurance and Safety Fire Commissioner, and former police chief, FBI, and DEA task force agent. King is now taking on a new challenge: running to unseat Senator Jon Ossoff in Georgia's U.S. Senate race. A recent Cygnal poll, the same firm trusted by Governor Brian Kemp and other top Republicans, shows King in a strong position to win the GOP primary and take the fight straight to Ossoff in November. It's a conversation about leadership, service, and the political battle ahead in one of the nation's most-watched Senate races.

Margaret Moore, faculty member at Harvard Medical School and former biotech CEO, brings decades of experience at the intersection of science, strategy, and human development to this conversation. In this episode, she unpacks The Science of Leadership, the forthcoming book she co-authored after reviewing hundreds of meta-analyses and large-scale studies, ultimately synthesizing leadership science into a framework of nine essential capacities. Moore emphasizes the role of conscious leadership, defined as the ability to “see things clearly” by quieting internal “ego noise”, the arousal, impatience, and worry that cloud judgment. She highlights the emerging concept of the quiet ego, noting that “you're still impactful... but with a way of being quiet about it that people can absorb more easily.” Challenging conventional strength-based approaches, Moore advocates for psychological wholeness, encouraging leaders to access underused capacities—such as empathy, creativity, and intuition—to become more balanced and mature decision-makers: “You'll be surprised that you have it there… You actually, if you pause, can access [it], like playing or being an orchestra conductor.” She also discusses how intuition, often misunderstood as abstract, is a skill that can be developed through stillness, reflection, and experience: “Creativity is flow, and flow is when you let go of control… It's the opposite of our main mode.” The conversation underscores the importance of strategic adaptability. Drawing on research, Moore shares that while humility doesn't improve a leader's own performance, “other people's performance is improved if you're humble. So you don't do it for yourself, you do it for them.” But she also cautions: in crises, “humility is not what people want. They want strong leaders out in front, in charge.” Finally, Moore distinguishes between empathy and compassionate leadership, where compassion is “respect and understanding… with action,” and can be both more sustainable and effective in driving accountability. For leaders ready to evolve beyond performance and toward genuine transformation, this conversation offers a research-grounded framework and an invitation to reflect: “In the moment, there's always the potential. If you're just awake, you will feel it. And you can act on it.” Get Margaret's book here: https://shorturl.at/tuRKR The Science of Leadership: Nine Ways to Expand Your Impact Here are some free gifts for you: Overall Approach Used in Well-Managed Strategy Studies free download: www.firmsconsulting.com/OverallApproach McKinsey & BCG winning resume free download: www.firmsconsulting.com/resumepdf Enjoying this episode?
