Natural gas is often seen as an environmentally friendly alternative to coal, yet it's a fossil fuel and gives off climate warming emissions when burned. On the internet there are many adverts suggesting that natural gas is a clean and green way to reduce emissions. We investigate whether these adverts mislead the public as to whether gas is really ‘green.'

In this week's episode, we are talking to the Tupumue Project, who applied creative participatory methods alongside clinical data to understand how many children, in two communities in Nairobi, Kenya have lung problems, and to explore children's experiences of lung problems and air pollution. The project used a variety of creative research methods including drawings, drama, walking interviews with go pros, comics, graffiti and others. They even engaged children in co- analysis and theme development. Co-host for this episode, Dr. Hellen Meme, told us more about the programme; “The choice of the word “Tupumue” (meaning “lets breathe”!) as an identity of the program was because breathing is a function important to all. The Tupumue programme was a complex undertaking considering the broadness of the subject that was covered, in regard to establishing the burden of non-communicable lung diseases in school children and risk factors in both an informal and formal community context. The necessary skill pool had to be wide to achieve this and hence the broad collaboration involving a multidisciplinary team derived from several North and South institutions. For everyone to own the study, we held consultative meetings through which we established a niche for everyone to participate. We are in the process of widely disseminating our study findings and are currently sharing our results with all stakeholders including participating schools and the community in order to get their views on the findings before we engage policy makers”. This episode features: Dr. Hellen Meme (co-host) - Chief Research Scientist, Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI) Hellen Meme's research work spans over 30 years and involves health and communities. Her research area of interest is in respiratory diseases with bias towards conducting research in congregate communities. This necessitates a broad skill base as well as innovation in planning approaches appropriate for project implementation. In this regard, engagement of community and other stakeholders is key. Dr Sarah West - Centre Director and Senior Research Fellow, Stockholm Environment Institute, University of York Sarah has been using citizen science approaches since she began work at SEI York in 2008, working on topics ranging from air pollution and biodiversity through to parenting and food waste. All her work uses citizen science approaches to engage a diverse range of people with research. She uses this approach because she believes that well designed projects can have huge benefits for advancing research and for making a difference for all those involved in projects. She also conducts research around the method of citizen science, looking at who is and isn't participating in projects, and evaluating projects' efficacy. Relevant links: https://www.sei.org/featured/citizen-science-month/ Fred Orina - Senior Research Scientist, Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI) Fred's interest is research implementation. He has 10 years' experience in coordinating the implementation of human health research, with a focus on lung health studies in both static and nomadic communities. This involves liaising with communities and diverse stakeholders. With a scientific background, he acts as the interlink between the community, researchers, and the sponsor.

Submission guidelines can be found at http://www.TallTaleTV.com ---- About Tall Tale TV ---- My name is Chris Herron, and I narrate audiobooks. In 2015, poor control of my diabetes left me legally blind for the better part of a year. The doctors predicted an 80% chance I would never see again, but I changed the way I was living and through sheer willpower beat the odds. During this time I couldn't read or write. Two things that I had been turning to for comfort since I was a small child. With the sheer amount of stress I was under, this was devastating. My wife took me by the arm, lead me into the local library, and read out titles of audiobooks to me. I chose the audiobook versions of books I had loved such as the Disc World series, Name of the Wind, Harry Potter, and more. They brought my favorite stories to life in ways I never thought possible and helped me through the darkest time of my life. Once my vision recovered, I maintained a love for audiobooks. I decided I would turn my focus from being a writer to becoming a narrator. I devised Tall Tale TV as a way to help out all the amazing authors in the writing communities I had come to love before my ordeal. I created Tall Tale TV to help aspiring authors by providing them with a promotional audiobook video. A way to showcase their skills with the written word. They say the strongest form of advertisement is word of mouth, so I provide a video to a platform of readers to help get people talking. Help them spread the word.

Submission guidelines can be found at TallTaleTV.com ---- About Tall Tale TV ---- My name is Chris Herron, and I narrate audiobooks. In 2015, poor control of my diabetes left me legally blind for the better part of a year. The doctors predicted an 80% chance I would never see again, but I changed the way I was living and through sheer willpower beat the odds. During this time I couldn't read or write. Two things that I had been turning to for comfort since I was a small child. With the sheer amount of stress I was under, this was devastating. My wife took me by the arm, lead me into the local library, and read out titles of audiobooks to me. I chose the audiobook versions of books I had loved such as the Disc World series, Name of the Wind, Harry Potter, and more. They brought my favorite stories to life in ways I never thought possible and helped me through the darkest time of my life. Once my vision recovered, I maintained a love for audiobooks. I decided I would turn my focus from being a writer to becoming a narrator. I devised Tall Tale TV as a way to help out all the amazing authors in the writing communities I had come to love before my ordeal. I created Tall Tale TV to help aspiring authors by providing them with a promotional audiobook video. A way to showcase their skills with the written word. They say the strongest form of advertisement is word of mouth, so I provide a video to a platform of readers to help get people talking. Help them spread the word.

Rob Cross is the Founder and Chief Research Scientist at Connected Commons, a consortium of over 100 leading organizations accelerating network research and practice. Cross is also the Edward A. Madden Professor of Global Leadership at Babson College and Co-author of the November-December cover story of the Harvard Business Review, titled “How to Succeed Quickly in a New Role.” As a networking expert, Cross has worked with over 300 organizations, reaching thousands of leaders from the front line to the C-suite. He has identified ways to cultivate vibrant, effective networks at all levels of an organization and any career stage. Through writing, speaking, consulting, and course creation, Cross' network strategies are transforming the way people lead, work, and live in a hyper-connected world. In this episode: Succeeding in a new role today does not look the same as it did 10 or 20 years ago. Conventional wisdom says that transitioning to a new position is about making a big difference fast. But studies of the most successful transitions show that the key to long-term accomplishment is to focus on developing your network, especially the internal network of peers, superiors, and subordinates — the team that gets work done in today's cross-functional, interconnected, collaborative workplaces. So what steps can you take to flourish in the current professional climate? Networking expert Rob Cross talks about this and more as he joins Thomas A. Stewart on The Leading Edge — a place where new ideas emerge and are sharpened, and where leaders look to find the edge that brings success for themselves, their teams, and their enterprises.  Whether you've been promoted, transferred to a new department or division, or been brought in from outside, the network is the key. Cross has practical strategies to help you reach success. For more than 20 years, Cross has studied the underlying networks of effective organizations and the collaborative practices of high performers. He's found that the value of your network is critical if you want to thrive in a new role. As the digital world develops, Cross says that “...the way we work is more interdependent in these networks.” The rise of remote work has made networking even more important, as leaders and other key employees spend more time on calls, in Zoom meetings, and using digital communication tools such as Slack. It's less important to be an individual star, and more important to be part of a constellation. So what does this mean for you? When you're starting a new position, don't try to sell or prove yourself. Instead, build relationships and trust within the organization for long-term success. The value of your network extends beyond your career transitions. Even with the right skills and experience, neglecting to nurture your existing network can lead to underperformance, a high churn rate, and slowed productivity down the road. In a recent article he co-authored for the Harvard Business Review, Cross references a Gartner statistic indicating that “49% of people promoted within their own companies are underperforming up to 18 months after those moves.” To combat this underperformance, you have to shift and adapt your network strategies. When moving up the ranks at your current company, it's still important to create mutual wins among your network, be proactive in shaping your role, and engage with your team at all levels. After all, it's the people in your network that will help you grow, scale, and prosper.  In this episode of The Leading Edge, Thomas A. Stewart sits down with Rob Cross, Founder and Chief Research Scientist at Connected Commons, to discuss current strategies for success in a new role. Cross talks about the steps you should take within the first 90 days of a new position, tips for navigating the pressure of a new role, and the principles that will maximize your network's value.

An executive at an energy firm based in Britain receives a call from his boss, asking him to transfer 220,000 euros to a Hungarian vendor. He transfers the money, only to find out later that it wasn't his actual boss who called him. It was a sophisticated fake of his boss's real voice. You may have heard of “deepfakes” in the media by now. But what about the underlying technologies that power them, called GANs (Generative Adversarial Networks)? While most people probably associate deepfakes with scams or viral social media videos, there's enormous potential for using GAN technology in legitimate business applications — from product design, to synthetic data, to art and content creation. But these new technologies also present an abundance of ethical, privacy and security problems. In this episode, we'll speak with Edy Liongosari, Chief Research Scientist at Accenture Labs; Cristóbal Valenzuela, Co-Founder and C.E.O. at Runway; and David Danks, Professor of Data Science and Philosophy at the University of California, San Diego.

The average company only lives for ten years, even large corporates perish after approximately four decades. A company that hits its 100th birthday has done rather well indeed. And, yet the cities of London or Paris, Rome or Beijing, have existed for millennia. Post Covid-19, we should therefore refocus our attention on what makes for prosperous cities and towns. These are the real engines of long-term economic development; not the in-vogue digital giants, nor even the elder denizens of industry, e.g. Mercedes, GE, BP or Sony; as we have known them. These commercial entities will all be historical footnotes within a single human lifespan. In this webinar, Robert aims to convey why cities matter and argues for a radical new approach to macro-economic planning, as we enter a brave new post-pandemic world. It really is time to try some new ideas. Speaker: Dr Robert Hercock is a Chief Research Scientist in the British Telecommunications Security Research Practice. He has over 20 years' experience in managing security research projects in the UK, and was theme leader for Networks and Cyber Security in the UK MOD Information Fusion Defence Technology Centre.

In his time as Chief Research Scientist at Weider Nutrition, Gordon and his team conducted the first formulations and studies of protein powders as they worked with Arnold Schwarzenegger and many other premier athletes. Gordon has spent countless hours reviewing silver information and is frequently called upon as the world’s leading authority on silver as a health tool. He is a Distinguished Speaker for Special Operations Medical Association (SOMA) and has worked with several National and International governmental organizations on the topic of silver. Gordon has conducted studies in Africa and has published the cure to Malaria. Seeing first-hand children close to death returning to school within 5 days. Gordon has the ambition to return to Africa in 2020 and continue the healing of more villages. While providing healing to these villages, Gordon will develop safe zones so that the mosquitoes can not return and reinfect. He has completed extensive research to help as many people as possible enjoy improved personal health. He hopes to be helpful for people around the world, raising awareness of how silver provides new answers to age-old health questions. Dr. Pedersen has a personal talent for simplifying medical and scientific concepts that have led to numerous invitational speaking engagements:   Russian Academy of Science   American Association for the Advancement of Science   Intra-American Society of Chemotherapy   Stanford School of Pharmacy   University of North Carolina School of Pharmacy   Expert Witness before the USA Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Health Canada   American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine   SOMA, Special Operations Medical Association, awarded “Distinguished Speaker.” and many more...   Dr. Gordon Pedersen understands the Health and Wellness industry and has a broad understanding of the science of anti-aging, anions, alkalinity, nutrition and the impact of these on the human body. So much so that when combined with his engaging personal style, he not only educates but simplifies. www.LifestyleLocker.com/GordonPederson FREE BOOKS:https://mydoctorsuggests.com/books/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/silverdoctor/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3HsAl1yI1WjCrLc4ARGArQ?view_as=subscriber Website: https://mydoctorsuggests.com/   www.LifestyleLocker.com www.instagram.com/drjoshhandt www.linkedin/drjoshhandt www.facebook.com/lifestylelocker www.twitter.com/drjoshhandt      

Exploring our fears around Genetic Modification in fibre. Host Chris Russell speaks to Chief Research Scientist with CSIRO, Dr Danny Llewellyn, about why perceptions around Mendel's Genetics breeding differ to perceptions of gene editing and the impact that this has had on cotton

This is one of two conversations which Gudrun Thäter recorded alongside the conference Women in PDEs which took place at our faculty in Karlsruhe on 27-28 April 2017. Marie Elisabeth Rognes was one of the seven invited speakers. Marie is Chief Research Scientist at the Norwegian research laboratory Simula near Oslo. She is Head of department for Biomedical Computing there. Marie got her university education with a focus on Applied Mathematics, Mechanics and Numerical Physics as well as her PhD in Applied mathematics at the Centre for Mathematics for Applications in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Oslo. Her work is devoted to providing robust methods to solve Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) for diverse applications. On the one hand this means that from the mathematical side she works on numerical analysis, optimal control, robust Finite Element software as well as Uncertainty quantification while on the other hand she is very much interested in the modeling with the help of PDEs and in particular Mathematical models of physiological processes. These models are useful to answer What if type-questions much more easily than with the help of laboratory experiments. In our conversation we discussed one of the many applications - Cerebral fluid flow, i.e. fluid flow in the context of the human brain. Medical doctors and biologists know that the soft matter cells of the human brain are filled with fluid. Also the space between the cells contains the water-like cerebrospinal fluid. It provides a bath for human brain. The brain expands and contracts with each heartbeat and appoximately 1 ml of fluid is interchanged between brain and spinal area. What the specialists do not know is: Is there a circulation of fluid? This is especially interesting since there is no traditional lymphatic system to transport away the biological waste of the brain (this process is at work everywhere else in our body). So how does the brain get rid of its litter? There are several hyotheses: Diffusion processes, Fast flow (and transport) along the space near blood vessel, Convection. The aim of Marie's work is to numerically test these (and other) hypotheses. Basic testing starts on very idalised geometries. For the overall picture one useful simplified geometry is the annulus i.e. a region bounded by two concentric circles. For the microlevel-look a small cube can be the chosen geometry. As material law the flow in a porous medium which is based on Darcy flow is the starting point - maybe taking into account the coupling with an elastic behaviour on the boundary. The difficult non-mathematical questions which have to be answered are: How to use clinical data for estabilishing and testing models How to prescribe the forces In the near future she hopes to better understand the multiscale character of the processes. Here especially for embedding 1d- into 3d-geometry there is almost no theory available. For the project Marie has been awarded a FRIPRO Young Research Talents Grant of the Research Council of Norway (3 years - starting April 2016) and the very prestegious ERC Starting Grant (5 years starting - 2017).

This episode was recorded live at the Psychedelic Science '17 conference in Oakland, CA! It took place on the last day of the conference on the wildly fun and irreverent Psymposia Stage. Hosted by Zach Leary this round table discussion features the immense wisdom of Shane Mauss, Lex Pelger and Berra Yazar-Klosinkski.  We took many twists and turns with topics ranging from a recap of the PS17 conference itself to the future of psychedelic research and some amazing insight into the cultural footprint around America concerning psychedelics. Both Shane and Lex spend lots of time taking their show on the road to everyday towns in America which affords them amazing insight into other points of view we might not otherwise consider. Berra from MAPS is the voice of reason here providing the audience with data and actual first hand accounts into the impact this research is having in actual patients. Enjoy the show! Shane Mauss is a comedian and host of the Here We Are podcast Lex Pelger is a writer, scientist & Shulginist and host of Psymposia Berra Yazar-Klosinski is the Chief Research Scientist at MAPS

Recorded live from Psychedelic Science '17! This is a dual podcast swap with The MAPS Podcast and features Shane Mauss, Lex Pelger and Berra Yazar-Klosinski. It was recorded live as a panel format and took place at the very tail end of the Psychedelic Science conference in Oakland, CA. Because it was the end of the conference we collectively reminisced and riffed in a loose, funny and free conversational feel about where psychedelic research is headed. We also spoke of our culture outside of our own echo chamber and how the rest of America is keeping up. I was so honored that these guys spent some time with me on stage and it took a lot for me to keep up with their brilliance and accomplishments. The intro was recorded live in India about two hours after the one-two punch of darshan at Kaishi-Vishwanath and the burning ghats of Varanasi. If you don't know what that means have a listen then book a plane flight. Enjoy! Shane Mauss is a comedian and the host of the Here We Are Podcast  Lex Pelger is the Captain and Chief Genius over at Pymposia.org Berra Yazar-Klosinksi is the Chief Research Scientist at MAPS
