Podcast appearances and mentions of dominic walliman

In this episode, we're continuing to talk about quantum applications. You may have heard that quantum computer will break all passwords and security on the Internet...is that true?! How would that work? Tai-Danae and Adam are joined again by physicist and SandboxAQ's VP of engineering, Stefan Leichenauer to discuss how most encryption works online right now, and how quantum computers will affect that. Want to get in touch? Write us at faq-podcast@sandboxaq.com Host Bios: Stefan Leichenauer is the VP of Engineering at SandboxAQ. He earned a PhD in physics from UC Berkeley in 2011 and has a research background in string theory. Tai-Danae Bradley is a research mathematician at SandboxAQ.

If you ever eat at Taco Bell, you have surely noticed that they sometimes have Nacho Fries on the menu - but most of the time they do not. Why? Why do Nacho Fries come and go? Why don't they just leave them on the menu all the time? This episode begins with the crafty explanation. https://www.businessinsider.com/taco-bell-is-bringing-back-nacho-fries-for-the-sixth-time-2021-7  What determines your personality? Obviously there are a lot of things. What you may not realize is that the list might include things like your genes, microbes or even parasites in your gut. Listen as I speak with Bill Sullivan, a professor at Indiana School of Medicine and author of the book Pleased to Meet Me: Genes, Germs and the Curious Forces That Make Us Who We Are (https://amzn.to/2t2VOYT). He explains how these forces can actually determine and even alter who you appear to be.  Have you heard the advice that you shouldn't store tomatoes in the fridge or that you shouldn't fry food in olive oil. These are just a couple of common kitchen practices that may not stand up to scientific scrutiny. Listen as I explain why. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-4539884/Should-continuously-stir-risotto-soak-onions.html It can sometimes be hard to explain something to someone so that they really and truly get it. Listen as scientist, Dr. Dominic Walliman offers the four key ingredients that will help you explain anything to anyone.

Can laughter and research go hand in hand? Are creativity and imagination central to helping the public understand research? Dominic Walliman, author of Professor Astro Cat, Sophie Scott, neuroscientist and stand up comic, and Sathyaraj Venkatesan, a contributor to Graphic Medicine, are here to say yes.  Presented by Mary-Ann Ochota and Professor Danielle George. Produced by Listen Entertainment.

Explain Anything to Anyone (0:00:00)I love telling people about things I'm passionate about... like theater and books and parenting, because I want people to love these things as much as I do. But sometimes, people just don't care, because they can't relate. They don't understand how hard it is to memorize lines, they haven't read the same books, or they're not a parent. But the way we explain our favorite topics could help others not only grasp them but also recognize how cool they are. Our next guest has had to explain concepts much more complicated than books. Former physicist Dr. Dominic Walliman joins us today to discuss how to explain anything to anyone.  Worst Tech of the Decade (0:17:01)In the last ten years, technology has changed a bunch. Can you believe that in 2010 we still used cell phones with those sliding keyboards, and the latest iPhone was only the iPhone 4? Crazy. In the last several years we've seen the advent of self-driving cars, drones, and wireless headphones. While cool new tech seems to be coming out all the time, there's also been plenty of tech flops. Today we thought we'd take a trip down memory lane and reminisce on some of the worst tech from the last decade. Joining us is Rod Gustafson, a tech expert, former producer, and friend of the show.  Nice Girls Don't (0:35:13)Despite the progress we've made over the years, women's careers still tend to be complicated. Why is this? And how can we, as a whole, move towards equality in all aspects? Today we have Dr. Lois Frankel, author of the New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling “Nice Girls Don't” business books, renowned career coach and women's advocate, to share tools women can use to feel valued, as well as what we can all do to teach our daughters to be heard.   Memories (0:50:38)Sam Payne, master storyteller and host of BYU Radio's The Apple Seed, talks with Lisa and Richie about the value of memories and what we can do to cherish the ones that mean the most to us.  Mini Book Club: Feel Good Books (1:04:03)Rachel Wadham, of BYU Radio's Worlds Awaiting, chats with Lisa and Richie about the best books to read when you're looking to be uplifted.  Be Different (1:25:40)Most businesses are the same. The typical full-time employee spends 45 hours on the clock each week. A lack of trust among peers is all too common today. And too often businesses are focused on how they can improve the organization rather than the individuals who work for them. But the truth is, if you want to succeed, whether in business or your career or life, being different makes all the difference. But what exactly needs to change for us to succeed? Here to tell us what we can do to succeed in our jobs, careers, and the workplace, is Stan Silverman. Stan Silverman is the former president and chief executive officer of PQ Corporation and the author of the book "BE DIFFERENT! The Key To Business And Career Success."

Dominic Walliman teaches how to explain anything, Rod Gustafson discusses the decade's worst tech, Lois Frankel talks about empowering girls, Sam Payne talks about cherishing memories, Rachel Wadham lists the best feel good books, Stan Silverman explains how to be different in a good way.

Listening to music is more than just a pleasant experience. It is also good for you in several ways. This episode begins with a discussion of how valuable music is to your mental and physical well-being. http://www.emedexpert.com/tips/music.shtmlCould your genes or microbes or even a parasite actually dictate parts of your personality? Likely so, according to Bill Sullivan, a professor at Indiana School of Medicine and author of the book Pleased to Meet Me: Genes, Germs and the Curious Forces That Make Us Who We Are (https://amzn.to/2t2VOYT). Listen as he explains how these forces can actually determine and even alter what makes you – you. You’ve probably heard that you shouldn’t store tomatoes in the fridge or that you shouldn’t fry food in olive oil. These are just a couple of common kitchen practices that may not stand up to scientific scrutiny.
