When we talk about greenhouse gas emissions and food, we usually focus on food production, but these estimates often only tell the story as far as the farm gate or the retailer. How important are the choices we make in our own kitchens? Studies have suggested that home cooking can account for as much as 60% of the total emissions associated with certain foods. In this episode I'm talking to Dr Christian Reynolds, Reader in Food Policy at the Centre for Food Policy at City, University of London, and a global expert on food loss and waste, and sustainable diets.We discuss:The environmental impact of different cooking methodsWhich appliances produce the most and least emissionsThe significance of cooking compared to other factorsA full transcription of this episode is available on YouTube.This podcast was produced by Molly Watson, funded by the University of York, working with FixOurFood.Notes:More about Christian:Christian is also the Senior Tutor for Research at the Centre for Food Policy at City and leads the UK Food Systems Centre for Doctoral Training at the university.

In this episode, Candice speaks to Rob Parker (member of the course team on the Clinical Psychology DClinPsy training course at Lancaster University) and Dr Pieter Nel (Programme Director, The University of Hertfordshire) about Lancaster's journey and experiences of developing a new part-time training pathway. Lancaster now offer 6 funded part-time training places. In this episode you will also hear Pieter share his own experiences of clinical training on a part-time course in South Africa, and you will hear Pieter ask Rob some of the questions that we have had over the last few years.. what are the practicalities on the ground of designing a new part-time pathway and how does it impact trainee and cohort identity?  In summary, there is a shared sense that offering a formalised part-time training route may better support trainees' needs and support trainee and cohort identity, rather than each trainee who follows a bespoke training journey due to personal circumstances (e.g. ill health, maternity amongst other reasons) and each course team, navigating a number of separate, unique pathways. Importantly, there is a general agreement that part-time training opportunities may increase diversity in the profession and enable applications from applications who would not be in a position to train full-time and therefore may not even apply to full-time courses and would not have the opportunity to join the profession of Clinical Psychology.

In this episode, Dr Simon McKenzie talks with Julia Sluspka about how the metaphors we use to understand cyberspace impact on how we imagine it should be regulated. They discuss the ways in which the conceptualisation of cyberspace is contested. Is it like spatial territory? Are states engaged in cyber war? Or is it like an ecosystem, or infrastructure? The metaphor we adopt frames the problems we see and the solutions we arrive at. Julia Slupska is a doctoral student at the Centre for Doctoral Training in Cybersecurity and the Oxford Internet Institute. Her research focuses on technologically-mediated abuse like image-based sexual abuse ('revenge porn') and stalking, as well as emotion, care and metaphors in cybersecurity. Further readingJulia Slupska, 'War, Health and Ecosystem: Generative Metaphors in Cybersecurity Governance', Philosophy & Technology (2020).Julia Slupska, 'Safe at Home: Towards a Feminist Critique of Cybersecurity' in Whose Security is Cybersecurity?

Jenn is supported by the Horizon Centre for Doctoral Training at the University of Nottingham (UKRI Grant No. EP/S023305/1) and by NIHR MindTech. They are a Fellow of the Institute of Mental health, Nottingham, in the UK. They are an autistic autism-studies doctoral researcher investigating the intersection between gender, autistic experience, and self-identity. During our conversation Jenn will discuss how terminology, the choice of words, is essential in the process of creating an autistic space. Another important feature is the unusual internal sensory differences that Jenn experiences. Besides Jenn Layton Annable, you will hear Hanna Bertilsdotter-Rosqvist and me Serena. Hanna is an associate professor in sociology and senior lecturer in social work at Södertörn University. I, Serena have a PhD in technology but now runs projects in the field of autism. Jenn, Hanna and I are autists, we define ourselves as autists and see it as an important part of our identity. Before we'll start I should mention that Jenn and Hanna somewhere during our talk will be referring to an article called Sensory Strangers. It is a chapter in the book Neurodiversity studies - a new critical paradigm that is published on Routledge. Hanna and Jenn are co-writers of this article. If you are interested in reading it, you may find it either in the book I mentioned or online at researchgate.

Technology can be very helpful to survivors of domestic violence, sexual violence, and stalking, but is also often misused by abusers to harass, threaten, coerce, monitor, exploit, and violate their victims. The resources below explore the extent and nature of technology-facilitated abuse. In this podcast we discuss with Julia Slupska to discuss how smart home devices can be a tool for domestic violence and ways we can improve the security around it. Speaker Profile: Julia Slupska is a doctoral student at the Centre for Doctoral Training in Cybersecurity and the Oxford Internet Institute. Her research focuses on how cybersecurity concepts and practices can address the technologically-mediated abuse. She is also exploring how feminist theories and methodology—such as participatory action research and the ethics of care—can improve cybersecurity. Previously, she completed the MSc in Social Science of the Internet on the role of metaphors in international cybersecurity policy. Before joining the OII, Julia worked on an LSE Law project on comparative regional integration and coordinated a course on Economics in Foreign Policy for the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. She also works as a freelance photographer.

Welcome to the third episode of the ChinAI podcast, hosted by Jeff Ding. Our guest today is Valentin Weber, a DPhil Candidate in Cyber Security at the Centre for Doctoral Training in Cyber Security, University of Oxford. He joins the ChinAI Pod to discuss his latest report, “The Worldwide Web of Chinese and Russian Information Controls,” supported by the Open Technology Fund. It presents a typology of information controls (ranging from propaganda to surveillance), compares Chinese and Russian models of information control, and analyzes the possible causes and impacts of the expanding reach of Chinese and Russian information controls. Valentin’s findings are based on his own meticulous sourcing as well as his painstaking synthesis of secondary sources, documenting the diffusion of Chinese and Russian information controls to over 100 countries over the course of thirteen years. More broadly, Valentin is interested in how the cyber domain is changing conflicts and state strategies. His current research focuses on the integration of cyber and grand strategy, as well as on the role of information controls in state strategies. He previously worked for the International Security Department at Chatham House. *****Timestamps: Briefing Checklist (0:43); Debate the Guest (16:00); Footnote Fever (42:40); Trust the Process (51:45) Get full access to ChinAI Newsletter at chinai.substack.com/subscribe

Over the past year, Roza Vasileva, PhD Candidate at the University of Nottingham, has conducted expert interviews with 25 representatives from various stakeholder groups of the Tanzanian data ecosystem: government, donor institutions, local community organisations, start-ups, international experts and academia. This project aims to understand what processes take place on the ground when people try to take advantage of data and technology to transform Dar es Salaam into a ‘smarter city’, and what the challenges are. This PhD research is funded by Horizon Centre for Doctoral Training in My Life in Data and supported by the Open Data Institute. The Horizon Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) is based at The University of Nottingham and is supported by a £9.3 million investment from Research Councils UK, The University of Nottingham and over 30 industry partners.

ControlTalk NOW for the week ending August 2, 2015 has two provocative cyber security posts from SmartCore’s cyber security evangelist and guru Fred Gordy, who shows us the ballistic cyber world with real-time Threat Maps and Shodan. Fred warns, “If you have setup a customer’s system that is directly connected to the internet, Shodan has either found it or will find it and put into its database for the world to see.” Read Ken Sinclair’s AutomatedBuildings and the August theme: Transformational Change our Mission Possible. DOE funds STEM training; Lynxspring Exchange updates; Easy IO’s Mike Marston with more Control Pub Talk; and Angie Jarvis and ProLon have a VAV Solution for you! Real-Time Threat Maps: If you haven’t seen these maps, it can be eye opening. These are real-time and/or near real-time threat maps that are readily available online. Various companies who are touting their cyber security offering like to throw these up behind them during photo ops. They are impressive, but more importantly they show us the unseen cyber world and the fact we are under attack. Shodan – Are Your Sites Listed?If you haven’t heard what Shodan is and why do we care, I would suggest you get familiar with it. Shodan has been called the “Google” for the internet of things (IoT). Shodan is continually cataloging web facing, connected devices such as control systems, computers, CRACs, power systems, etc. Why should we care? We should care because if you have setup a customer’s system that is directly connected to the internet, Shodan has either found it or will find it and put into its database for the world to see.
