On art and science. In our first episode, "Do We Need Newness for Creativity?" we connected with Christine Liu, a neuroscientist and artist. She had some fantastic things to say about the intersection of science and creativity, something that is at the root of all of our Creative Fuel episodes.Each episode of Creative Fuel start swith one question. In the course of researching, writing, and talking with our guests, we obviously come up with many more questions along the way. They leave us with a lot to ponder, and there are many things we don't have the space to include in our full episodes. Which is where these little doses of creativity come in.Featuring: Christine Liu. Head here to discover Christine's Venn diagram on the overlaps between art and science.

We talk a lot about Sustainability on the podcast. Generally, it’s either through technology, or packaging, or advocacy, but how do you convince someone to care? Manuel Gorrin has done this his whole career, from plants to corporate. In this episode, Manuel talks all about sustainability. From tools used to discuss to the common worker, to new techniques such as Regenerative Organic Certification, which is a new practice and is different than Regenerative Agriculture. Confused? We get into it in a lot of detail. Learn about the journey in how Manuel met Greta Thunberg, and how he collaborated with her to amplify the voices of kids who want to discuss Sustainability. What’s probably the most enlightening thing about Manuel is his kind heart and compassion to animals, life, and the planet. From childhood to his job now, his focus was always making the world a bit better and it’s quite amazing. Show Notes Blaze PR How do you describe yourself?: I am trying to save the world. But you’re a chemical engineer: yes, but we are still involved in the process The fires and the virus are a wake up call and we need to do something about it I focus on Soil: We protect the health of the soil Nature’s Path is the largest organic cereal company. We are family owned. How do you communicate sustainability?: We actually align through a training. Sustainability is our vision which is to leave the Earth better than we found it You need to make it simple and easy to digest so for example, we have 6 rules What do you recommend for young companies to aim for sustainability goals?: Find the passion first and focus on what you are doing Sometimes you have to find your passion through working How did you find your passion?: Surprisingly, networking. Just getting in contact with the stake holders, I got opportunities. Greta Thunberg Youth Movement How to ask for expertise: Ask them “I want to learn more from you” What did you study in college?: When I was a child, I wanted to save animals. I went into chemical engineering to try to innovate in oil. Then I found out how terrible oil is for the planet. Universidad Simon Bolivar I started as a wastewater treatment engineer Then supervised a vinegar plant Earthlings - documentary on youtube What did you do in Kraft Heinz? Build plants. Sustainability is really hard to break in not only in corporate setting but a global setting Why did you switch to marketing?: I felt the need that if we want to move the needle, we need to amplify the message. The company also saw my passion for sustainability and let me have a chance. Are there any trends happening in sustainability?: ROC – Regenerative Organic Certification. If you do a certain procedure, you can make organic products and sustainability Patagonia, Dr. Brenners, and us are part of the pilots for this program Regenerative Agriculture is not the same as ROC The True Cost – Documentary Patagonia says – “don’t buy our stuff” Project Drawdown – an organization What is one piece of advice to start something: You can create your own Green Team in a company and get people excited in sustainability Christine Liu started sustainability in Boeing @manuelgorrin LinkediN: Manuel Gorrin
In this episode of the podcast, I'm speaking with Shah Selbe - a Conservation Technologist. We get technical with conservation engineer Shah Selbe and Fieldkit, his project to make low-cost, connected sensors you can use anywhere in the world (except maybe a boiling river in the Amazon). Also mentioned: Christine Liu's Art about Art & Science, DAT protocols, Los Angeles Unified School District's Data Science curricula.
Join Good Dog's legal team as we speak with Laura Reeves about how we protect breeders from scams and animal rights extremists, advocate for breeders and against overreaching dog legislation, and provide sample contracts and other legal resources so breeders can get the legal support they deserve! Guests: Cat Matloub, Esq. (University of Chicago Law School), Monica DeBosscher, Esq. (Harvard Law School), and Christine Liu, Esq. (Harvard Law School) Good Dog's legal team describe key ways in which Good Dog provides legal support and helps protect and empower breeders. Cat describes how Good Dog helps protect breeders' legal rights, including by providing support if there are issues with animal control, assistance with stolen photos, scams and payment issues, and help if breeders are being harassed. Good Dog also helps support breeders by educating the public! Monica speaks about how anti-breeder advocacy is damaging and how many times the accompanying legislation affects the way the public thinks about the good forces in the dog world. She describes ways in which Good Dog works to stop anti-breeder legislation through letter-writing campaigns and social media and provide ongoing education. It's important to remember that dog breeders are the subject experts when it comes to breeding - that's why Good Dog is committed to making breeders' interests heard so that when the government is facing a question related to dog breeding, they know who to go to. Christine introduces Good Dog's new Good Breeder Legal Resource Center, which is designed specifically for dog breeders. Good Dog provides free sample contracts that breeders can use and adapt for their programs, in order to ensure that the breeders, buyers (and their dogs!) are happy with the process of placing a dog. Cat and Laura discuss the importance of contracts in communicating exactly what the breeder wants the buyer to know. Also learn about mediation services, and why it can be extremely helpful to have a 3rd party assist with any sort of legal support a breeder may need.

Biocaptivate is a think tank to promote and enhance creativity, curiosity, and diversity (cognitive and otherwise) in biological research, engineering, education, and policy. They reimagine social-political-economic narratives, structures, and selective pressures to combat monoculture, conventional wisdom, austerity and (needless) hustling in science. They augment interpersonal and inter-organizational relations. They empower and celebrate introverts and outsiders. They reject small talk, and encourage large changes. Biocaptivate also catalyzes ongoing dialogue to improve the practice, culture, and communication of biology to the benefit of our planet. With appreciation for the art of the possible, they use this dialogue to craft a dynamic playbook to shift Hallin’s spheres and Overton windows regarding issues affecting science and scientists. They explore how topics such as awe, metacognition, time perception, networked lateral thinking, and “the third culture” relate to building and creating sustainable scientific policies. https://biocaptivate.com Yan Liu, Program Director ► https://linkedin.com/in/yanqliu Louis Metzger ► http://bit.ly/LouisLinkedIn Goli Afshar ► https://linkedin.com/in/gafshar Fatma Kaplan ► https://pheronym.com/author/fatma/ Christine Liu ► https://linkedin.com/in/christine-liu Michael Selden ► https://linkedin.com/in/michael-selden Shoutout to Finless Foods who are bringing sustainable, delicious seafood to the world, without having to farm or harvest live fish from our precious oceans, for allowing us to use their space! https://finlessfoods.com ******* Simulation is rebirthing the public intellectual by hosting the greatest multidisciplinary minds of our time.

Green Dreamer: Sustainability and Regeneration From Ideas to Life
We've been talking so much about plastic pollution, but how exactly is plastic even made to begin with, and what can we learn from that process to better understand its impact on our health? How can we deal with having friends or family members who may not personally support the work we do or believe it can really make a difference? Sharing her wisdom with us here is Christine Liu, author of the blog and YouTube channel on living more simply and sustainably, Snapshots of Simplicity. She has a degree in industrial and packaging technology from California Polytechnic State University San Luis Obispo and currently works at Cisco as a sustainable packaging program manager, where she also co-founded its internal employee organization called the Green Team Network. Let's dive in. HIGHLIGHTS [6:32] Christina explains how plastic is actually made. [10:53] Christina's advice for someone working for a company that's not focused on sustainability but wants to be an "intrapraneur" and work as a change maker from within. [11:47] Kaméa: "What do you think is most effective when it comes to influencing the key decision makers in a large company like Cisco?" [15:35] How Christine deals with push back from friends and family members. [17:19] Christine: "Being an over-achiever or perfectionist, it's really easy to overlook rest and to not give yourself enough credit for what you do." [18:15] Christine shares about her anxiety, her decision to take some time off from work, and how it has impacted her overall outlook and values. Thanks for bringing your light!

Registration for Catalyst 2017 is OPEN! Thanks to everyone who has asked questions about the event so far! Tom and I are psyched about this opportunity. I think the thing that excites us most is that we have crafted this workshop so that each arranger gets the chance to have their arrangement recorded and all the recording students get to work on up to 5 different songs. There's no way for me to tell you just how valuable that is. You get to leave the workshop with 5 edited tracks that you worked on rather than just one fully mixed track. You'll get to have the stems too so that you can take those songs and try mixing them on your own as well after the event. Want to know more? Head to http://recordingacappella.com/catalyst-2017 Would you like to do a live coaching? In the next month or so, I'd like to have an episode of the podcast where I bring on one of you guys or gals and do a live coaching with you. If you've got the courage to come on the show and have your questions and my answers and advice recorded and then broadcast (podcast?) then you'll get a FREE coaching. That's a $77 value for FREE!!! If you’ve ever wanted to know about Asian a cappella then today is a great show for you, we talk to Christine Liu of Vocal Asia about all things Asian a cappella. Christine’s love of a cappella started while in the states for high school and college where she started a group at northwestern. She takes us on a brief trip through how the Asian a cappella scene started and where it’s at now. Christine is the head of Vocal Asia and she tells us a good bit about what the organization is doing all throughout that part of the world. Their festivals which change location each year not only feature a cappella but try to feature the music and culture of the area the festival is located in that year.
