We compare the distributive responsibility found in Lincoln's Second Inaugural and Nelson Mandela's 1994 inaugural address. We also introduce the Metaphor Temperature Test as a tool for identifying and cooling high-conflict rhetoric. Homework: Look up the final paragraph of Lincoln's Second Inaugural (1865) and a short passage from Mandela's Inaugural (1994). Write down one question about any of this episode's topics. If you don't have a question, write 'no question.' Optional: Review your last three emails or texts during a disagreement. Apply the Metaphor Temperature Test and rewrite one sentence to change its temperature. If you'd like to read more on this subject, some book suggestions are Lincoln at Gettysburg: The Words that Remade America by Garry Wills, a brilliant masterclass on sentence architecture and structural balance that demonstrates how deliberate rhetoric can reshape a fractured national identity, and Long Walk to Freedom by Nelson Mandela, which provides the essential global perspective on using balanced, inclusive language to distribute social responsibility and systematically mend a divided nation. Learning Topics: The Pronoun Blueprint (we/our vs. you/they); Distributed responsibility in leadership; Lincoln and Mandela as case studies; The Metaphor Temperature Test; Parallel structure as a de-escalation tool.

Marie Curie is the most famous woman in the history of science. She coined the term “radioactivity” and traveled the world to share its secrets. Her story is told in a new book by acclaimed Pulitzer Prize finalist Dava Sobel, but, along the way, she tells the stories of other women who trained in Curie's lab who would pursue their own scientific careers.

Si la majorité des montres que nous portons aujourd'hui sont à quartz, ce n'est pas un hasard. C'est le résultat d'une petite révolution scientifique et industrielle qui remonte à la fin des années 1960. Pour comprendre pourquoi cette technologie s'est imposée, il faut d'abord comprendre comment elle fonctionne.Le cœur d'une montre à quartz est… un minuscule cristal de quartz. Ce minéral possède une propriété physique remarquable appelée piézoélectricité. Découverte au XIXᵉ siècle par les frères Curie, elle signifie qu'un cristal de quartz se déforme légèrement lorsqu'on lui applique une tension électrique. Mais le phénomène fonctionne aussi dans l'autre sens : lorsqu'il se déforme, le cristal produit un courant électrique.Dans une montre, on exploite ce phénomène d'une manière très précise. Une petite pile envoie un courant électrique dans le cristal de quartz taillé d'une forme spécifique. Sous l'effet de ce courant, le cristal se met à vibrer extrêmement régulièrement, exactement 32 768 fois par seconde. Cette fréquence est très stable car elle dépend des propriétés physiques du cristal.Un circuit électronique compte ensuite ces vibrations et les divise jusqu'à obtenir une impulsion par seconde. Cette impulsion fait avancer les aiguilles de la montre ou met à jour l'affichage numérique. Le temps est donc mesuré grâce à la régularité des oscillations du quartz.C'est précisément là que réside le grand avantage du quartz : sa précision. Une montre mécanique classique — fonctionnant avec des ressorts et des engrenages — peut dériver de plusieurs secondes par jour. Une montre à quartz, elle, ne dérive généralement que de quelques secondes par mois. Elle est donc beaucoup plus fiable.Le quartz présente aussi d'autres avantages décisifs. D'abord, il nécessite beaucoup moins de pièces mécaniques. Les montres sont donc plus simples à produire, moins coûteuses et moins sensibles aux chocs ou à l'usure. Ensuite, elles demandent très peu d'entretien : il suffit généralement de remplacer la pile tous les deux ou trois ans.Cette combinaison de précision, de robustesse et de faible coût explique pourquoi les montres à quartz ont conquis le monde. Lorsque la première montre à quartz commercialisée — la Seiko Astron, en 1969 — est apparue, elle était très chère. Mais la technologie s'est rapidement démocratisée. Dans les années 1970 et 1980, elle a provoqué ce que l'on appelle parfois la “crise du quartz” dans l'industrie horlogère traditionnelle.Aujourd'hui, les montres mécaniques existent toujours et restent très appréciées, notamment pour leur savoir-faire et leur dimension artisanale. Mais pour mesurer le temps avec précision au quotidien, la solution la plus simple, la plus fiable et la plus économique reste… un petit cristal de quartz qui vibre des dizaines de milliers de fois par seconde.

This is a fantastic episode as both Barbara Perez Marquez and Sonia Liao chat with Jimmy about The Curie Society: Game of Code. This is a phenomenal graphic novel series (Game of Code is the 3rd volume) about "a team of young women recruited by an elite secret society—originally founded by Marie Curie—with the mission of supporting the most brilliant female scientists in the world." Barbara joins the creative team to script this 3rd volume and it's great to hear her and Sonia discuss their work on the book, what it means to them, and the unique challenges of working on a graphic novel series like this. Sonia discusses getting a scene set at a convention just right and Barbara talks about how she makes sure she stays true to the characters' voices that have already been established in the first 2 books of the series. This is a wonderful conversation for fans of the series and fellow creators.

Que no coman ni beban nada durante tres días y tres noches. Mis criadas y yo haremos también lo mismo, y después iré a ver al rey, aunque eso vaya contra la ley. Y si me matan, que me maten» (Ester 4: 16).Marie Curie, una mujer cuyo brillo rivalizaba el resplandor de las estrellas, dejó una huella imborrable en mundo de la ciencia. Con su determinación y genio científico desafió las normas de su tiempo y revolucionó nuestra comprensión de la radioactividad y de los elementos químicos.Nacida en Varsovia, Polonia, en 1867, Marie Curie demostró desde joven una pasión por el conocimiento y un deseo insaciable de explorar los misterios del universo. A pesar de los obstáculos y de los prejuicios que enfrentó por ser mujer, Marie perseveró en su búsqueda de la verdad y se convirtió en la primera dama en recibir un Premio Nobel, y la única en recibirlo en dos campos científicos diferentes: la Física y la Química.Su trabajo pionero en el campo de la radioactividad, junto con su esposo Pierre Curie, llevó al descubrimiento de dos elementos químicos nuevos: el polonio y el radio. Estos hallazgos transformaron la ciencia y sentaron las bases para la medicina nuclear y la terapia contra el cáncer, salvando innumerables vidas en todo el mundo.Pero más allá de sus logros científicos, lo que realmente destaca de Marie Curie es su perseverancia frente a la adversidad. A pesar de enfrentar obstáculos debido a su género y su origen humilde, nunca renunció a su sueño de contribuir al avance del conocimiento científico.Un ejemplo notable de esto fue su trabajo durante la Primera Guerra Mundial, donde lideró la instalación de unidades móviles de rayos X para diagnosticar a soldados heridos en el frente. A pesar del peligro y las dificultades, Marie y su equipo salvaron incontables vidas y cambiaron para siempre el curso de la medicina de emergencia.Curie murió el 4 de julio de 1934, a los 66 años, debido a una anemia aplásica. Si bien no hay una evidencia concluyente de que su muerte estuviera directamente relacionada con la exposición a la radioactividad, es ampliamente aceptado que su trabajo con materiales radioactivos contribuyó a su deterioro de salud.Así son los héroes. Sus ideales los hacen nadar contra corriente y, si es necesario, sacrificar su vida. Esa misma lógica usó la reina Ester. Sabía que ir delante del rey Asuero podría significar la muerte, pero las vidas de sus connacionales fueron más preciosas que la suya.
