IonQ is poised to redefine the quantum computing landscape, projecting a staggering 80,000 logical qubits by 2030—potentially unlocking the power to crack encryption. NIST has us on a timeline to upgrade to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) by 2035, so this 5-year gap may spell doom for cybersecurity. Of course, these machines will also revolutionize industries from finance to drug discovery to AI. How is IonQ boosting their roadmap by orders of magnitude? Learn about their cutting-edge acquisitions and bold vision for scalable, error-corrected systems in this wide-ranging chat between host Konstantinos Karagiannis and IonQ SVP Dean Kassmann.For more information on IonQ, visit https://ionq.com/.Visit Protiviti at www.protiviti.com/US-en/technology-consulting/quantum-computing-services  to learn more about how Protiviti is helping organizations get post-quantum ready.Follow host Konstantinos Karagiannis on all socials: @KonstantHacker and follow Protiviti on LinkedIn and Twitter: @Protiviti.  Questions and comments are welcome!  Theme song by David Schwartz, copyright 2021.  The views expressed by the participants of this program are their own and do not represent the views of, nor are they endorsed by, Protiviti Inc., The Post-Quantum World, or their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, shareholders, or subsidiaries.  None of the content should be considered investment advice, as an offer or solicitation of an offer to buy or sell, or as an endorsement of any company, security, fund, or other securities or non-securities offering.

What if one could prepare their business for a future that doesn't exist yet? With technology evolving at an exceedingly fast pace and AI gaining momentum over the past few years, businesses are having to adjust on the fly or risk being left behind. However, one company, is helping business leaders and CEOs prepare for these technological advancements. That company is Singularity University and I recently caught up with Aaron Vaccaro, the president of Singularity UniversityAaron talks about his background, what the Singularity University does, shifting peoples mindsets, generative AI tools, biological computing and more.More about Singularity University:Since its founding in 2008, Singularity University (SU) has hosted programs and experiences designed for professionals seeking to transform their organisations through exponential technology education and new mindsets. All participants leave their SU experience with the tools, skills, and knowledge they need to prepare for the future of tech.With over 100 experts in various fields who present and speak at SU events around the world, attendees are privileged to the insights of the world of tech, biotech, and more. Among those discussions, they even discuss the endless possibilities of the future, and what leaders and businesses can expect five, even ten years down the road.With a great backing of investors such as the WestRiver Group,Globant AI Powerhouse, Silicon Valley Bank, and Anima Educacao, SU has earned the support of some of the tech industry's largest names across borders. Notably, since its founding, Google and NASA have been among the companies to support SU and its endeavors.

Send us a textDieser Podcast ist der dritte Beitrag zu unserer neuen Serie „AI meets Leadership“. Alle zwei Wochen. Bewegend. Zukunftsweisend. Ehrlich fordern, echt kümmern: Die neue Relevanz von Feedback In einer Arbeitswelt, in der sich Teams und Führungskräfte kontinuierlich neu ausrichten müssen – nicht zuletzt aufgrund des Einflusses von KI – wird ein altbekanntes Thema zur aktuellen Führungs-Ressource: Feedback. Dabei stellt sich seit jeher die Frage, wie es gelingt, ehrliches Feedback zu geben, das nicht demotiviert, sondern Vertrauen stiftet und Sicherheit gibt. Kim Scotts Konzept „Radical Candor“ liefert dafür einen klaren Rahmen: Es geht um die Fähigkeit von Führungskräften – und Teams – andere ehrlich zu fordern und ihnen gleichzeitig mit echtem, wertschätzendem Interesse zu begegnen. Der Kern liegt in der Kombination aus “Caring Personally” und “Challenging Directly”, wie Scott es nennt. Wer als Führungskraft beides kombiniert, kann echte Entwicklung ermöglichen und eine Kultur schaffen, in der psychologische Sicherheit die Basis für Innovation und Performance herstellt.

In this episode of Tech Burst Talks, Charles sits down with Rob DeMillo — ex-JPL, serial entrepreneur, SparkLabs Venture Partner, and now CEO of Sophia Space — to unpack one of the most disruptive tech ideas out there: putting compute in orbit. Rob walks us through his wild career path from space science to cloud animation, to architecting data centers in the sky. And learn how he was about to produce 7 EXITS from 9 STARTUPS! They dive deep into Sophia Space's modular “tile” technology, built from first principles for space — not retrofitted earth tech — and explore the near-term use cases that matter: defence, air traffic control, disaster response, and real-time edge processing in orbit. This isn't a pitch about sci-fi fantasy — it's a raw look at how real, scalable, space-based computing is already taking shape. Rob also shares what it really takes to build seven successful startups, why “dumb luck” matters, and the mindset needed to thrive on the edge of what's possible.

National College of Ireland will once again be hosting the NASA International Space Apps Challenge. After serving as the Dublin Mission Control Centre in 2023 and 2024, NCI is proud to have once again been chosen to host the world's largest annual hackathon. This year's Dublin event will take place on October 4th and 5th, 2025. You can register directly with NASA Space Apps Dublin Mission Control here. "Being Nasa's Dublin Mission Control once again for this hackathon that welcomes participants from all ages and areas of study is extremely exciting. At National College of Ireland, we strive to change lives through education by consistently recognising the impact of lifelong learning. We look forward to being a hub for innovation, creativity, and teamwork once again in 2025. It will be wonderful to welcome this year's participants to Mayor Square." ~ Professor Paul Stynes, Dean of NCI's School of Computing. NASA International Space Apps Challenge returns to Ireland Last year's theme, "The Sun Touches Everything," invited participants to tackle one of 21 Challenges using space data and information. The challenges allowed participants to explore a wide range of topics from astrobiology to space music, and the design of games for astronauts. The Space Apps Challenge is open to everyone, not just scientists, coders, and engineers. Participants work in teams, and the inclusivity of this hackathon allows for fantastic connections to be made and for a wide range of skills to be celebrated. It is often the non-technical skills that become the key to creating winning projects. In Dublin, the participants will be supported by mentors who will help them develop their projects to the highest standard. This year's theme is "LEARN, LAUNCH, LEAD!" The 2025 theme highlights what we hope participants will do during the hackathon as this event will encourage them to learn more about the skills they need to pursue STEM in the future. Not a techie? Teams also require communicators, designers and entrepreneurs! This hackathon is an excellent event that is suited to all interests and skillsets, as all participants will learn how to apply their unique skills to real world challenges. We hope that the creative, collaborative environment will give participants the confidence needed to speak up and be unafraid to launch their ideas. Their ideas, passion, creativity, and their projects may go on to transform NASA's open data into actionable tools, as well as launching their own future career paths and further study areas. Past participants have often spoken about how the skills they developed during the hackathon still serve them well years later in various fields. Alongside learning, building confidence, and connecting with peers and mentors, we hope that the participants will walk away from this year's hackathon feeling proud that they are part of a broad team of researchers and students who are leading communities in driving innovation.

It's wizardry. It's sorcery. Nobody gets it.” “We actually can use text and code to affect the world around us.” “Computing should almost be this humanistic liberal art—it should connect to language and philosophy and art.” “Code is not a substance, but it operates in the world.” “Computers are weird everything machines.” “We're shielded from the vast complexity of computing—until something goes wrong.” “People used to build computers in their garages. Now we can't even open them.” “Unix is like the Epic of Gilgamesh of computing—it's been around for decades and it's still foundational.” “AI is powerful, but it's part of a much longer conversation around tools for thought.” “Biology is a wildly different computer than anything we would ever use to compute with.” “Science fiction doesn't always predict well, but it gives us worlds we can aim toward.” “I want more weird, playful experimentation in computing—something beyond the chat interface.” “Computing history is so young that many of the pioneers are still around to email.” “Ultimately, all these tools were developed for people. They're meant to be in service of humans.”

Episode SummaryIn this episode of OnBase, host Chris Moody welcomes Preet Sibia to discuss the evolution of go-to-market strategies from a transactional, product-first approach to a deeply customer-centric model. Preet shares candid insights from his decades of experience in semiconductors and reveals the operational, cultural, and structural shifts required to make customer orientation a reality.From building clear sales processes and empowering account managers to mastering alignment across teams and driving change management, Preet offers a detailed blueprint for organizations ready to elevate their customer relationships. He also emphasizes how investing in the right talent and metrics creates sustained impact across retention and growth.Key TakeawaysFrom Transaction to TransformationSticking to a product-oriented model may yield short-term success, but long-term growth demands a strategic shift to understanding and solving customer pain points. Customer-centricity transforms vendors into co-investors in client success.Simplify the Customer InterfaceMultiple siloed product teams can overwhelm customers. Empowering a single account owner (the “quarterback”) to guide the engagement improves clarity, builds trust, and deepens relationships.Operational Shifts are Non-NegotiableSuccessful transformations require a standardized sales process, clear role definitions, and well-trained application engineers and marketers who focus on customer needs, not just product features.Retention > AcquisitionBy understanding strategic roadmaps and elevating customer conversations beyond transactional buying, businesses can position themselves as indispensable partners, boosting long-term retention.Change Management Must Be IntentionalCommunicate relentlessly. Involve key leaders in shaping the change. Focus energy on those committed to the new vision, rather than spending time converting detractors.Measure What MattersBeyond product sales, leading indicators include customer satisfaction surveys, direct feedback, and clarity in account ownership. Internal and external alignment is key.Quotes“We used to walk into customer meetings with 20 product reps. Now we walk in with a few strategic voices focused on solving the customer's problem.”“Change doesn't work unless you pour your energy into those who want to drive it. That's how momentum builds.”Best Moments (01:00) – Preet's early journey in semiconductors and his unexpected start on a tech support hotline.(03:45) – Why customer-centric go-to-market isn't optional for future growth.(07:00) – How customer relationships shift when you focus on strategic problems over transactions.(10:00) – Operational changes that empower sales teams and streamline customer interaction.(16:00) – Managing change: from selecting champions to navigating resistance.(21:15) – Metrics that reflect progress in customer-centric strategy.Resources recommendationsRange by David Epstein – Encourages career exploration and diverse skill development.Backstage Leadership by Charles Galunic – A deeper look into leadership infrastructure and organizational dynamics.Shout-OutsJack Gifford, Founder of Maxim – Preet's early mentor and a lasting influence on his leadership philosophy.About the GuestPreet has over 25 years of global experience leading teams covering product marketing, applications engineering, sales, and distribution management. In his current role Preet leads Sales, Marketing, and Applications Engineering for Infineon's Consumer, Computing, and Communication business in the Americas region.Connect with Preet.

There is a recent report by Menlo Ventures, 2025: The State of Consumer AI, stating that, "More than half of American adults (61%) have used AI in the past six months, and nearly one in five rely on it every day. Scaled globally, that translates to 1.7-1.8 billion people who have used AI tools, with 500-600 million engaging daily. This is no longer experimentation; it's habit formation at an unprecedented scale. When we do the math, 1.8 billion users at an average monthly subscription cost of $20 per month equals $432 billion a year; $12 billion market indicates that only about 3% pay for premium services - a strikingly low conversion rate and one of the largest and fastest-emerging monetization gaps in recent consumer tech history. Even ChatGPT, with its first-mover advantage, only converts about 5% of its weekly active users into paying subscribers. This gap between usage and payment represents a major opportunity." David Stephen, who does research in conceptual Brain Science explores innovation for Consumer AI profitability The problem for consumer AI companies is simply not for the lack of need but for the absence of - products and services - branching. What are people already paying for that they would be willing to pay extra for, given valuable AI features? Computing for Consumer AI Profitability What are people not paying for that they would be willing to pay for, because it augments their abilities with AI, in a way that is not simply AI agentic usage? What are people using AI for that they have found that comes with risks that they would be willing to pay for [safety] to mitigate those risks? News in Two Languages News publishers are seeking more digital subscriptions amid lower traffic from major search engines because of AI summaries. What else can be added to news [as a service] to make people pay more? Language. All news can be displayed in at least 2 languages: side-by-side, line-by-line, paragraph-by-paragraph. The purpose of this will be to build familiarity with the other language. By seeing sentences, words and so on, in another language, regularly, without the burden of memorization, it can become easier to learn the other language, and maintain a mental consistency in sustaining what is learned. There would be learning resources for the rudiments of the language, but it would be easier for languages with similar alphabets. For those with different alphabets, prior lessons would be necessary. The objective will be to have dynamic and sustained continuity even when there is no one to speak - or practice - with, to solidify the knowledge. A platform can be developed. News publishers can own accounts on it. Then translations are provided for their contents, based on subscriptions and they get something more. They may also host the API on their websites and apps, to have their subscribers there have access. News is not information to memorize. Combining another language would boost cognition across ages, ensure AI is inducing better neuroplasticity for humans and providing new value for mind, not just a utility providing some answers in dissociation - without learning. It may also be useful to source news at certain destinations, with happenings but with only one news edition. It may shape how loved ones from afar get informed. News is what people are paying for already that they would be willing to pay more for, with an extra AI service for language. AI Pen beyond AI Wearable or AI Pin or AI Sound Device What would be the next biggest AI device that would scale and be pervasive would not be an AI wearable or some AI sound device. It would be a pen that would fascinate users. Most humans write with their dominant hands, because of concepts in brain science called laterality and handedness. Simply, one hand delivers more coordination and stability than the other. So, most pens - including digital pens - are built to work with the dominant hand since balance and coordination are not an issue. However, what if a...

Power constraints are a growing challenge in digital infrastructure, and Ampere Computing is leading the way with energy-efficient, ARM-based processors that cut power use by 30-60%.Sean shares how Ampere is shaping the future of AI and compute efficiency —plus, insights on their planned acquisition by SoftBank.

Over the course of a calendar year ending in May 2025, the United States absorbed nearly $1 trillion in damages due to extreme weather. This amount, representing 3% of U.S. gross domestic product, was driven by rising insurance costs and a series of disasters primarily concentrated in the Ten Across geography, such as Hurricanes Helene and Milton and the fires in Los Angeles.  More than ever before, timely and detailed forecasts are needed to properly prepare—and in some cases to evacuate—communities ahead of such extreme events. Leaders across sectors are further in need of advanced weather modeling to support larger-scale mitigation and adaptation efforts.  The data that influence such public and private decision-making mainly stem from the National Weather Service's six billion daily weather observations. The NWS recently shed 600 of its 4,000 positions, prompting a public warning from five former agency directors that understaffing could undermine the quality and delivery of forecasts, potentially putting many Americans at greater risk.  At the same time, advanced artificial intelligence capabilities are contributing to a trend toward increased commercial ownership of U.S. weather forecasting. However, today's guest, Dr. Amy McGovern, points out that while today's AI can create and curate efficient weather models better than a conventional supercomputer, its monitoring capabilities are not comparable to the collective experience and proficiency of NWS scientists.  Listen in as Ten Across founder Duke Reiter and Dr. McGovern, an expert in the integration of AI in meteorological science, explore the current forecasting landscape and how the emergence of private sector AI-powered modeling is influencing its evolution.  Related articles and resources:  Read about Brightband's Extreme Weather Bench, led by Amy McGovern  NOAA stops tracking cost of extreme weather and climate disasters (UtilityDive, May 2025)  Former Weather Service Leaders Warn Staffing Cuts Could Lead to ‘Loss of Life' (The New York Times, May 2025)  Stabilizing ‘operations,' the National Weather Service hires again after Trump cuts (NPR, June 2025)  Lawmakers revive bipartisan forecasting bill (E&E News by Politico, June 2025)  Credits:Host: Duke Reiter Producer and editor: Taylor Griffith  Music by: Parallax Deep  Research and support provided by: Kate Carefoot, Rae Ulrich, and Sabine Butler  About our guest:  Amy McGovern is the director and principal investigator for the NSF Institute for Research on Trustworthy AI in Weather, Climate, and Coastal Oceanography. She is also a Lloyd G. and Joyce Austin Presidential Professor in the University of Oklahoma's School of Meteorology and leader of the Interaction, Discovery, Exploration, and Adaptation (IDEA) lab, and lead AI and meteorology strategist for the AI-powered customized weather forecasting startup, Brightband.

When NIST released the first post-quantum cryptography standards in August 2024, it set off a domino effect that will hopefully result in protecting the world from the quantum computing threat. Now that we're beginning to migrate and trust our data to lattice-based cryptography, it's a good time to examine how ML-KEM works and get some hints about how to implement it well. And who better to ask than one of the coauthors of the PQC standard? Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a wide-ranging chat with Joppe Bos from NXP, where they discuss the past and future of ML-KEM.  For more information on NXP, visit www.nxp.com/.  Visit Protiviti at www.protiviti.com/US-en/technology-consulting/quantum-computing-services  to learn more about how Protiviti is helping organizations get post-quantum ready.  Follow host Konstantinos Karagiannis on all socials: @KonstantHacker and follow Protiviti Technology on LinkedIn and Twitter: @ProtivitiTech.     Questions and comments are welcome!  Theme song by David Schwartz, copyright 2021.  The views expressed by the participants of this program are their own and do not represent the views of, nor are they endorsed by, Protiviti Inc., The Post-Quantum World, or their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, shareholders, or subsidiaries.  None of the content should be considered investment advice, as an offer or solicitation of an offer to buy or sell, or as an endorsement of any company, security, fund, or other securities or non-securities offering.

Synonymous with gaming Alienware rode the wave of easy to use and beautiful gaming computers. Now they are the G.O.A.T. Dave Young: Welcome to The Empire Builders Podcast, teaching business owners the not-so-secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom and pop to major brands. Stephen Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector, and storyteller. I'm Stephen's sidekick and business partner, Dave Young. Before we get into today's episode, a word from our sponsor, which is... Well, it's us, but we're highlighting ads we've written and produced for our clients. So here's one of those. [Pinpoint Ad] Dave Young: Welcome back to The Empire Builders Podcast, Dave Young here with Stephen Semple, and we're talking about empires. This is The Empire Builders Podcast. You tuned in because you wanted to hear us talk about empires, right? Stephen Semple: I hope that's why they tuned in. Dave Young: I mean, I'm assuming that's why you... Stephen Semple: Either that, or you're in the wrong place. But still, stay with us, you might like it. Dave Young: If you're expecting steamy ghost stories, this is not your podcast. Stephen Semple: Oh, there goes half our audience. Dave Young: That's all right. "Choose who to lose," that's what we always say. People that are interested in steamy, ghost stories, this is not it. Stephen Semple: But. Dave Young: Aliens. Stephen Semple: Aliens? Dave Young: Maybe. Maybe- Stephen Semple: Maybe. Dave Young: ... I'm saying. Maybe. Stephen Semple: Yeah, maybe. Dave Young: Because today's topic, Stephen told me we're going to talk about Alienware, as an empire. And I know them because I remember, back in the day, one of my kids insisting that that was the only computer that would allow them to play World of Warcraft in any kind of successful fashion. Does that sound right? Stephen Semple: Yep. That would be pretty accurate. Did you end up buying an Alienware computer? Dave Young: Probably. I don't know. Dad was just the checkbook. Stephen Semple: Well, we're going to talk about Alienware, but even before we go into Alienware, I want to take a little bit of a detour, because it actually speaks to Alienware. Is, one of the things that Alienware was really good at recognizing, was things going on in the world. And you know how we often talk about tapping into what's happening out there, and the emotions that's happening out there, and looking outside of your world. I had a really interesting conversation this weekend with Bob Camp. Now, Bob Camp is the co-creator of Ren and Stimpy. Dave Young: Okay, yeah, yeah. Stephen Semple: Now, if you remember, remember back at the Slinky episode? Remember when we covered Slinky? Dave Young: We talked about Log. Stephen Semple: And we talked about Log. Well, as it turns out, Dave, you are completely right. Bob Camp told me that the whole thing Log, was actually completely inspired by Slinky. Dave Young: Oh, yeah, I was just, yeah. Stephen Semple: And here's what happened. It was in the very first episode of Ren and Stimpy, and they had produced it, and they suddenly realized just before it was about to go on air, they were a minute short. And he was like, "How do we come up a minute fricking short?" So that night he decided, "I got to come up with a minute of content." And what he decide to do is create a commercial. He thought. "Let's start the commercial." So the very first Ren and Stimpy episode started with that commercial Log, and he very specifically wanted to tie into something that was a shared experience, that had a positive emotional context, and that he could kind of have some fun with. But it was that whole looking outside the world, and that's how he came up with Log. Yeah. Dave Young: Nice. Stephen Semple: When I come see you in Austin, people can't see this podcast,

James Copnall, presenter of the BBC's Newsday, speaks to Yoshua Bengio, the world-renowned computer scientist often described as one of the godfathers of artificial intelligence, or AI.Bengio is a professor at the University of Montreal in Canada, founder of the Quebec Artificial Intelligence Institute - and recipient of an A.M. Turing Award, “the Nobel Prize of Computing”. AI allows computers to operate in a way that can seem human, by using programmes that learn vast amounts of data and follow complex instructions. Big tech firms and governments have invested billions of dollars in the development of artificial intelligence, thanks to its potential to increase efficiency, cut costs and support innovation.Bengio believes there are risks in AI models that attempt to mimic human behaviour with all its flaws. For example, recent experiments have shown how some AI models are developing the capacity to deceive and even blackmail humans, in a quest for their self-preservation. Instead, he says AI must be safe, scientific and working to understand humans without copying them. The Interview brings you conversations with people shaping our world, from all over the world.

I'm Stacey Simms and every other Friday I bring you a short episode with the top diabetes stories and headlines happening now. XX The American Diabetes Association Scientific Sessions kicks off in a week – we expect as always to get a lot of information! I'm not covering in person this year, but I'll bring you any big announcements. And we'll do a wrap up In the News the following week. -- XX UVA with something new.. technology that allows an artificial pancreas system to adapt to users' changing needs – and lets users adjust the settings – beyond what's commercially available now. They're calling this “adaptive biobehavioral control,” the technology helps fine-tune UVA's artificial pancreas every two weeks, giving users a virtual tool to test different ways to manage their blood sugar using their own data. In a six-month study, participants using the technology spent more time in a healthy blood-sugar range, rising from 72% to 77%, and saw a small but meaningful drop in their average blood-sugar levels. While automated insulin delivery systems help users better manage Type 1 diabetes, adaptive biobehavioral control technology is designed to improve blood-sugar control during the day, when fluctuations occur more frequently due to meals and physical activity. This new technology uses “digital twins,” computer models simulating how a person's body processes sugar. The models help the artificial pancreas keep up with changes in the user's body and habits and give users a way to interact with the system. For example, users can try different settings, like how much insulin is released overnight, using the simulation before applying them in real life. https://news.virginia.edu/content/uvas-artificial-pancreas-uses-digital-twin-tech-improve-diabetes-control XX Five years later after COVID-19 his the US, a new study shows that there is a connection with type 1 diabetes triggers. This is  new research from the University of Utah published in the journal ImmunoInformatics.   With T1D in particular, a COVID infection appears to trigger the immune system of certain people who have a prior susceptibility to the condition to subsequently develop T1D symptoms, the new study suggests.   University of Utah researchers hypothesize that COVID is leading to T1D diagnoses in a roundabout way as the virus presents the body with “molecular mimics,” or fragments of COVID proteins that bear an uncanny resemblance to those beta cell antigens.   When a person is infected with COVID, the immune system not only attacks fragments of the viral protein but also attacks fragments of beta cell antigens because they look so similar and get mistaken for each other, explains lead study author Julio Facelli, Ph.D., a distinguished professor of biomedical informatics at University of Utah Health in Salt Lake City. That means that in people who are already predisposed to T1D, there may be a simultaneous autoimmune reaction involving the destruction of healthy beta cells, spurring the onset of type 1 diabetes. Both 2022 and 2024 research indicates that there has been a significant increase in new onset type 1 diabetes following the start of the COVID pandemic. It's difficult to estimate just how many cases may have been triggered by COVID because numerous viruses, including rotavirus, measles, mumps, and rubella, can spark an autoimmune response that activates T1D, according to the 2022 research published in Immunology & Cell Biology.   Again, it's important to note that researchers don't believe a COVID infection is causing diabetes, but rather, triggering it, in the same way certain environmental factors are believed to trigger immune-mediated conditions like Crohn's and psoriasis. “   https://www.healthcentral.com/news/type-1-diabetes/how-covid-might-trigger-t1d XX Insulet announces the Omnipod® 5 App for iPhone is now compatible with the Dexcom G7. Eric Benjamin, Insulet Executive Vice President, Chief Product and Customer Experience Officer. “With the addition of the Dexcom G7 sensor to the Omnipod 5 App for iPhone, our U.S. customers have more choice with fewer devices to keep track of, making it easier than ever to manage their diabetes.” The Omnipod 5 App with Dexcom G7 and Dexcom G6 compatibility is now available for download on the Apple App Store. Switching to a new Omnipod 5 device will require you to go through First Time Setup again. Insulin delivery history from previous Pods will be lost when you switch to your new device and adaptivity will start over. Use this guide and video to help transfer your settings: Omnipod also announced a collaboration with Marvel.. on an original comic to celebrate representation for the diabetes community and empower people with diabetes to unleash their inner hero. “Dyasonic: Sound of Strength” features Omnya, who was recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, struggles with her management, and is prescribed an insulin pump. Omnya learns that when her glucose levels are in range she can take on anything, and anyone, and transforms into the comic's hero, Dyasonic! The hope is that readers will be able to see themselves overcoming these same challenges and break mental barriers to adopting technology with the potential for improved outcomes and quality of life. D'Spayre is a Marvel villain who preys on victims who are in despair, using their fear to strengthen himself—akin to the negative emotions that can come with diabetes. Insulet remains dedicated to advancing diabetes technology and improving the lives of people with diabetes. For more information, please visit https://www.omnipod.com/innovation. XX Tandem is the latest partner for Abbot's future Glucose-Ketone Sensor. New agreement to develop and commercialize integrated diabetes solutions that combine Abbott's future dual glucose-ketone sensor with Tandem's innovative insulin delivery systems to provide more options for people to manage their diabetes. The Abbott sensor, currently under development, will combine glucose and ketone sensing technology that aims to help people living with diabetes detect early ketone rise to avoid life-threatening diabetic ketoacidosis. Sequel Med Tech is also partnering with Abbott on this, as part of the twist pump, launching later this year. https://www.stocktitan.net/news/TNDM/tandem-diabetes-care-announces-agreement-with-abbott-for-integration-xl1vug3c0axy.html   XX New guidelines for the management of type 2 diabetes and prediabetes include tools clinicians can use to help patients stick to lifestyle interventions.   A panel of practitioners working in lifestyle medicine, including primary care physicians, cardiologists, endocrinologists, sleep experts, dietitians, and exercise medicine specialists, laid out six areas clinicians should help patients manage. These include sleep and stress, nutrition, physical activity, tobacco and alcohol, and social connection. The guidelines, released on June 10 by the American College of Lifestyle Medicine (ACLM), largely mirror lifestyle guidelines by the American Diabetes Association (ADA) but add specifics about how clinicians can help patients achieve their goals. Each patient should still receive tailored counseling, which may include medication   https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/new-guidelines-shift-diabetes-care-toward-behavior-2025a1000fht XX Microplastics from a widely used biodegradable material can enter the metabolic cycle of bacteria and cells in the gut after being ingested, a new study has found. Researchers in China and the United States said the microplastics – from polylactic acid – were found to alter the gut metabolism and damage the gut barrier of mice.   They said this could potentially contribute to conditions like inflammatory bowel disease and diabetes. In recent years, microplastics have been found in human lungs, kidneys, blood, placenta and breast milk.   https://www.scmp.com/news/china/science/article/3313412/microplastics-biodegradable-material-may-be-linked-diabetes-study-finds XX ​​Over 19,000 cases of Dr Pepper Zero Sugar are being recalled after the cans were found to contain full-sugar soda, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced. The voluntary recall, initiated May 23, affects 12-pack and 24-pack cases of the 12-ounce aluminum cans that are labeled “Dr Pepper Zero Sugar.” Despite the label, the drinks inside contain the same amount of sugar found in regular Dr Pepper — about 39 grams per can — posing a health risk for people with diabetes or anyone needing to limit sugar intake. On Thursday, June 5, the FDA officially classified the recall as Class II, meaning the product “may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences." DR PEPPER ZERO SUGAR - 12 OZ, 12 PK DR PEPPER ZERO SUGAR - 12 OZ, 12 PK.  Amazon Consumers can identify the recalled cases by the product code, which is listed as  XXXXRS05165, and the "best by" date of Feb. 16, 2026   No other Dr Pepper products or batches of Dr Pepper Zero Sugar are part of the recall. https://people.com/dr-pepper-recall-sugar-found-in-zero-sugar-cans-11750981     XX A step forward for a device that uses breath to gather information about blood sugar. It's called Isaac, the company is PreEvnt, you wear it on a lanyard and breathe into it. The breathalyzer technology was developed in collaboration with the Integrated Nanosystems Development Institute at IU Indianapolis, and was inspired by diabetes alert dogs. "Our lab was able to successfully identify the specific molecules in breath that correlate with hypoglycemia, which is the 'scent' that diabetic alert dogs can detect," said Mangilal Agarwal, director of the Integrated Nanosystems Development Institute and a professor in the IU Luddy School of Informatics, Computing and Engineering at IU Indianapolis. Agarwal's lab is partnering with the IU School of Medicine to test and validate the effectiveness of the device in individuals with diabetes—an important next step on the path to wider commercialization. https://medicalxpress.com/news/2025-06-breathalyzer-device-diabetes.html#google_vignette XX Katie Bone is back on American Ninja Warrior! The youngest ever American Ninja Warrior Women's National winner, she injured her knee at Olympic Climbing Trials in 2023. This week, she was back on the show. She says: Katie Bone: It was incredible. I've not been able to compete for a few years, so getting to come back and hit a buzzer on my first chance back on the course felt really, really incredible; Very rewarding after everything I had to go through to get back there.
