In this episode, Helen and Chiara Bruzzano talk about her professional development journey, her work in teacher education, writing, and research, those who impacted her CPD, and the role of research in ELT and the importance of its accessibility. She points out that teachers are the experts in and know what's best for their own context, and talks about keeping academic research accessible to ensure it isn't overly-complex or opaque. She shares how ELT has changed over the 13 years she's been immersed in the work, and how she's witnessed a shift in nativespeakerism. She shares her passion for her freelance LanguageED work and pursuing her PhD research into the role of standardised tests and their impact on communities such as refugees, asylum seekers, and forced migrants. She wants teachers to always ask “the big questions” because they/you have the power and are the experts.LanguagEd blog: https://languaged.org/blog  LanguagEd YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@languaged  Modern English Teacher blog: https://www.modernenglishteacher.com/blog-by-chiara-bruzzano?page=1 Sign up link for Chiara's newsletter: http://eepurl.com/ha8EaResearch project for the British Council: https://forcedmigrantsielts.weebly.com/Chiara's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chiarabruzzano/Also, feel free to get in touch via email: chiara@languaged.org Chiara reached out to us at Developod after listening to Episode 56 “Becoming a Humanistic Teacher Trainer with Rachel Tsateri”, and from that email and written discussion came this episode!If YOU want to talk to us about Developod, email: tdsig.podcast@iatefl.org To find the complete archive of Developod episodes, go to tdsig.org/developod-tdsigs-podcast

Betelgeuse revela su estrella compañera gracias a Gemini North, un hallazgo que cambiará nuestra mirada estelar Por Félix Riaño @LocutorcoBetelgeuse, el punto rojizo que marca el hombro de Orión, está a unos 650 años luz —aproximadamente 6,1 cuatrillones de kilómetros— de la Tierra. Hoy vamos a contar que no brilla sola: el telescopio Gemini North en Hawái captó, mediante imágenes rápidas de «tavelas» o speckle imaging, una diminuta estrella azul-blanca orbitando dentro de la atmósfera hinchada de la supergigante roja. La compañera es seis veces menos luminosa, posee una masa de 1,5 Soles y recorre una órbita de apenas 4 Unidades Astronómicas, unos 600 millones de kilómetros, distancia tan corta que cabría holgadamente dentro de la órbita de Júpiter. Este descubrimiento resuelve un enigma de siglos sobre las variaciones de brillo de Betelgeuse y plantea una nueva duda fascinante: ¿qué sucederá con esa pequeña estrella cuando el gigante rojo explote en una futura supernova visible a plena vista? Pero el pequeño vecino podría desaparecer mucho antes del estallido  La aventura empezó con un misterio de luz. Desde la Antigua Grecia, astrónomos aficionados notaron que Betelgeuse late: se oscurece y se ilumina en ciclos de 400 días y, aparte, en ciclos de casi seis años. Esa segunda cadencia despertó la sospecha de que algo orbitaba al gigante. Intentos anteriores con el Hubble y el observatorio de rayos X Chandra no dieron pistas. Entonces, Steve Howell y su equipo de la NASA decidieron usar Alopeke, un instrumento que toma miles de fotos de un cuarto de milisegundo y las combina para “congelar” las turbulencias del aire. Así apareció un puntito azul, tan tenue que muchos no lo habrían creído real de no ser por la nítida separación angular de apenas 0,05 segundos de arco, similar a distinguir dos fuegos artificiales separados por la anchura de una moneda vista a 40 kilómetros.   Ahora surge un problema apasionante. La compañera, batizada de forma provisional «Siwarha», viaja inmersa en las capas externas de Betelgeuse, hechas de gas caliente y polvo. Esa proximidad genera fricción estelar: el gas de la supergigante frena la órbita del astro menor, igual que el aire frena a un ciclista. Los cálculos indican que la órbita de Siwarha va a decaer y la estrella podría caer en espiral hasta quedar engullida en menos de diez mil años, un suspiro cósmico. Además, cada vuelta de esta bailarina estelar revuelve las capas del gigante, expulsando más polvo al espacio y dándonos falsas alarmas de supernova, como el Gran Atenuamiento de 2019 a 2020. Observar ese proceso es complicado porque el resplandor anaranjado de Betelgeuse satura detectores y tapa el brillo azulado de su vecina; solo técnicas de alta resolución permiten separar ambas luces sin deformar la imagen.   ¿Qué vamos a aprender después? Primero, los astrónomos planean vigilar la pareja hasta noviembre de 2027, cuando la órbita la aleje un poco más y facilite mediciones precisas de masa, temperatura y composición. Con esos datos vamos a refinar modelos de evolución estelar: Betelgeuse, con un radio de unos 487 millones de kilómetros —casi la distancia entre el Sol y el cinturón de asteroides— se encuentra en fase final de vida y terminará reventando en una supernova que iluminará nuestros cielos tanto como la Luna durante varios meses. Siwarha servirá como “termómetro” interno, midiendo la pérdida de masa del gigante y avisando de cambios bruscos. Además, el hallazgo abre la puerta a buscar compañeros en otras supergigantes, lo que podría explicar irregularidades luminosas en estrellas cercanas como Antares. Finalmente, cuando Betelgeuse explote, parte de su material va a caer sobre Siwarha, quizás formando un disco de gas brillante que, por unos años, adornará la constelación de Orión como un brazalete cósmico fácilmente visible con pequeños telescopios.   Betelgeuse es joven para su tamaño: apenas 10 millones de años frente a los 4 600 millones del Sol. Ese ritmo acelerado de vida se debe a su masa: unas 20 veces la solar. Cuando una estrella tan grande agota el hidrógeno central, se expande, enfría la superficie y adopta el tono rojizo característico. En 2019, su brillantez cayó un 40 %, dando pábulo a titulares sobre una “supernova inminente”. Más tarde, estudios con el Very Large Telescope mostraron un penacho de polvo expulsado desde su hemisferio sur, mezcla de cenizas estelares y silicatos. Casos parecidos ocurrieron con la supergigante VY Canis Majoris, lo que sugiere que estos eventos de “tos estelar” son habituales en gigantes en decadencia. La confirmación de Siwarha aclara la oscilación de seis años: cada vez que la compañera se adentra en las zonas más densas de la atmósfera, arrastra gas y lo expulsa como si agitara un velo de nubes. Gracias a este sistema doble, la próxima generación de telescopios —James Webb, ELT y el propio Gemini tras su actualización— va a probar modelos de hidrodinámica estelar en tiempo real, convirtiendo a Betelgeuse en el laboratorio natural más cercano para estudiar las últimas fases de las estrellas masivas.   Betelgeuse ya no es la solitaria del vecindario cósmico: su compañera Siwarha confirma teorías centenarias y nos brinda una oportunidad única para observar cómo un gigante rojo evoluciona con un aliado tan cercano.

The most critical feedback loop in a democracy is a free press and access to vital information. Yet decades of corporate consolidation allowed giant conglomerates to annihilate local news outlets and predatory hedge funds are leaving news deserts in their wake. In 2025, a fifth of people in the U.S. live with little or no access to local news and three quarters of newspaper jobs have been axed over the last 20 years. But new models are crystallizing to fill the void, thanks to innovating journalists and publishers.

¡ALERTA FINANCIERA CON SABOR A BARRIO CHINO! ¿Harto de que la economía te suene a chino mandarín (o a arameo antiguo, que viene a ser lo mismo)? Tranqui, que aquí te lo contamos como si estuviéramos de cañas, pero con datos que te harán flipar más que un episodio de Black Mirror. En el menú de hoy: El Tío Sam pierde su corona de Rey Midas: Moody's le da un capón crediticio y lo deja tiritando. ¿Consecuencias? Pues que igual la próxima vez que pida prestado le cobran hasta por respirar. Analizamos la deuda que crece más rápido que la mala hierba. La Guerra de los Aranceles (Temporada 37): Trump amenaza con ponerle un impuesto hasta al aire que importamos de Europa. Apple, Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz... ¡todos a cubierto! ¿Quién paga la fiesta? Spoiler: probablemente tú. Inteligencia Artificial: ¿Amiga o Enemiga?: Desde Nvidia y sus dramas con China hasta CoreWeave (¿quién?) y los robots que te quitarán el curro mientras Jony Ive (ex Apple) diseña su carcasa. Prepara el currículum para pasear perros. Cripto-Locura y Bancos Despistados: Coinbase se cuela en el S&P 500 (¡ole sus... bitcoins!) mientras los grandes bancos como JPMorgan se apuntan a la moda de las stablecoins después de haberlas puesto a parir. La coherencia, bien, gracias. El Drama del Carrito de la Compra: Walmart vs. Trump en un combate de pesos pesados por los precios. Target y Home Depot ven cómo el consumidor se aprieta el cinturón hasta ahogarse. ¿Compramos hoy o esperamos a las rebajas del Apocalipsis? Movidas Farmacéuticas: Novo Nordisk (los de Ozempic) cambia de jefe en plena tormenta y 23andMe vende tus genes al mejor postor (Regeneron). ¡Tu ADN vale pasta, amigo! Y mucho más: chanchullos de directivos vendiendo acciones (Palantir, D-Wave), la odisea de Boeing para no estrellarse (otra vez), y por qué BYD le está comiendo la tostada a Tesla en Europa. Todo esto servido con una buena dosis de ironía, un poquito de mala leche (constructiva, eso sí) y la perspectiva de quien ha visto más crisis que capítulos repetidos de Los Simpson. No te prometemos hacerte rico, pero unas risas (y alguna que otra idea para no palmar pasta) te echas seguro. ¡Dale al PLAY, bribón/a! Y si te mola el salseo financiero: ❤️ Likea si te hemos abierto los ojos (o te hemos dejado más confundido, que también tiene mérito). Comenta qué empresa crees que la va a pifiar más o cuál es tu apuesta ganadora. ¡Se abre debate! Comparte con ese colega que siempre está hablando de invertir y no tiene ni idea (o contigo mismo, para la posteridad). Suscríbete para no perderte ni una migaja de este festín de números y verdades incómodas.

"El viento silba entre las cumbres nevadas, mientras mi respiración se funde con la inmensidad del Himalaya. Me llamo Koncha, y una vez más, voy a volar sobre estas montañas sagradas para llegar a uno de los lugares que más amo en este mundo: el Tíbet."No sé exactamente cuándo empezó este llamado, este impulso interno que me lleva una y otra vez a viajar a lo alto del mundo. Quizás en otra vida ya caminé estos senderos polvorientos, atravesé sus valles, bebí del agua helada de sus ríos y recé en sus templos de piedra y oro.Lo cierto es que cada vez que regreso, siento que el Tíbet no es un destino… sino un espejo. Un reflejo de lo que somos cuando nos despojamos de lo innecesario, cuando dejamos atrás el ruido, la prisa, la obsesión por tener respuestas. Aquí, en la Tierra de la Dakini, la pregunta deja de importar tanto como la experiencia de estar presente.El Tíbet es un susurro del universo.Caminar sus senderos es un acto de rendición, de entrega total a lo desconocido. No hay mapa que te prepare para el momento en que las banderas de oración ondean en el viento y te das cuenta de que no hay un solo rincón de esta tierra que no haya sido tocado por la devoción. La espiritualidad aquí no es una idea, no es una práctica, no es una moda… es la forma en la que respira la montaña, es el latido de cada peregrino que, con la frente en la tierra, agradece, reza, y sigue caminando.He viajado por muchos rincones del mundo, explorado culturas, conversado con sabios y meditado en templos y bosques, pero aquí, en lo alto del mundo, el silencio habla con más claridad que cualquier maestro.Este verano, del 1 al 15 de agosto, volveré al Tíbet.Esta vez, no viajaré sola. Quiero invitarte a ser parte de esta expedición, de esta travesía interior que va más allá del paisaje, más allá de los kilómetros recorridos. Porque este no es un viaje de turistas. Es un viaje de exploradores del alma.¿Qué nos espera en este viaje?
