Podcast appearances and mentions of Edward Watson

José Antonio Bowen: Teaching With AI José Antonio Bowen has won teaching awards at Stanford and Georgetown and is past president of Goucher College. He has written over 100 scholarly articles and has appeared as a musician with Stan Getz, Bobby McFerrin, and others. He is the author of multiple books in higher education and is a senior fellow for the American Association of Colleges and Universities. He is the author with C. Edward Watson of Teaching With AI: A Practical Guide to a New Era of Human Learning*. AI will change how we work, but it's also going to change how we think. In this conversation, José and I explore where to begin working with AI and why those who can use it will serve a critical role in shaping what's next. Key Points Physical maps make you smarter than GPS, but GPS is more practical for daily use. AI isn't inherently good or bad, but like the internet, it will change how we work. AI will eliminate some jobs, but it will change every job. Those who can work with AI will replace those who can't. Rather than thinking about creativity through the lens of responses from AI, focus on bringing creativity into your prompts. Most of the AI progress for companies is coming from non-tech folks that are figuring our how specific tasks get more efficient. AI is very good at some things and not good at others. You'll discover how this relates to your work by experimenting with different prompts.

Scientists have hailed a just-announced $37m Government spend toward a Covid-19 vaccine – and now a major clinical research organisation has called for trials to be carried out here.This afternoon, ministers revealed the fund would be sending $10m toward local vaccine research and $5m for exploring manufacturing a vaccine here.Up to $15m would also be steered toward global research collaborations and $7m would go to Gavi - an alliance that distributes vaccines to developing nations.Alongside the fresh funding, the Government unveiled its long-awaited vaccine strategy, which aimed to secure enough doses of a safe, effective vaccine for New Zealand at the earliest possible time.A key part of that strategy was building capability for making and distributing a vaccine here if it was needed – something Kiwi biotech company Avalia Immunotherapies has already been exploring with a pre-awarded $100,000 grant."It's vital that we contribute to international research efforts as well as ramp up our own research and manufacturing capability," Research, Science and Innovation Minister Megan Woods said.Malaghan Institute director Professor Graham Le Gros – who has been working with top Kiwi scientists and industry partners Avalia and South Pacific Sera on a home-grown effort – said the investment ensured New Zealand and its Pacific neighbours were well positioned.His group was already eyeing potential candidates, including a virus-inactivated vaccine approach led by Otago University's Professor Miguel Quiñones-Mateu, and a recombinant spike protein vaccine being developed in Dr Davide Comoletti's Victoria University lab."Between us and our partners and collaborators we have well over $100m worth of science infrastructure alongside commercial intellect that can be put to good use towards the Kiwi Covid-19 vaccine effort," said Le Gros, a world-renowned immunologist."We have some of the best scientists in the world. We have the know-how and the capability. It's good to get the backing."The group had already fielded much interest from people keen to assist, among them wealthy philanthropists and Kiwis wanting to crowdfund for the cause."Alongside Government funding and research grants, this support is vital and valued, and will have a real impact."Meanwhile, Auckland-based Pharmaceutical Solutions has called on the Government to incentivise overseas biopharmaceutical companies to carry out trials here in return for secure domestic access to a vaccine."In the global race to find a vaccine, we need populations that have had little exposure to Covid-19 and New Zealand can offer a vital link in the global effort to halt the novel coronavirus," said the group's managing director, Jacquie Palmer.Pharmaceutical Solutions managing director Jacquie Palmer says the Government could entice big biopharmaceutical companies to New Zealand. Photo / Supplied"We have very low rates of infection, world-class expertise and one of the best healthcare systems in the world, which means New Zealand is the ideal location for vaccine trials."With many other parts of the world still in lockdown, New Zealand can act as a shelter for the continuation of all clinical trial programmes, including Covid-19 vaccine studies and those on hold in other countries."Dr Edward Watson, chief executive of Middlemore Clinical Trials, believed the success of New Zealand's Covid-19 response offered a rare opportunity to global biopharmaceutical companies."New Zealand is effectively Covid-free, and as a result, our sites are fully operational," Watson said."Due to our nation's public health response, we are now able to conduct all types of clinical trials safely."We offer a highly sophisticated medical system and many engaged patients to these biopharmaceutical companies looking to conduct trial activity, and we should capitalise on these offerings to further grow the sector."Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has said border restrictions are likely to remain until...

Katie Derham explores the adventurous choreography of Sir Kenneth MacMillan 25 years after his death, in conversation with the former director of the Royal Ballet Dame Monica Mason and the Royal Ballet principal dancer Edward Watson, uncovering the key elements of Macmillan's style and the importance of narrative in his works. The classic score of the week is Stravinsky's The Fairy's Kiss, which Macmillan choreographed in 1960.

Have you noticed there's a lot of talk today about the importance of developing a resilient, “growth” mindset? There's good reason for it as mounting research indicates the potency and efficacy of a strong mindset geared toward persistence, growth, and possibility. But why do so many people fear and avoid failure, when it's one of the most potent learning devices ever devised? In this episode, we talk with mental skills and performance coach Edward Watson about how to cultivate a growth mindset and embrace failure. Also, Mr. Watson will share the perspective he's cultivated about the differences between boys and girls in terms of how they handle stress as derived from the years of work he's done in schools. Finally, he'll discuss the perils of a global society's fixation and over reliance on cell or iphones, and how their use very poorly positions young people entering the workforce.
