Today, we are joined by Drs. Robert and Elizabeth Bjork.Dr. Robert A. Bjork is a Distinguished Professor of Psychology at UCLA and one of the world's foremost experts on human learning and memory. His pioneering research on concepts such as desirable difficulties, retrieval practice, and goal-directed forgetting has fundamentally reshaped how we understand what it means to learn effectively. For decades, Dr. Bjork has guided educators, leaders, and organizations in applying evidence-based strategies that enhance retention, mastery, and long-term performance. His work bridges the gap between theory and practice, helping learners update their "learning operating systems" for real-world results.Dr. Elizabeth L. Bjork is an accomplished researcher and applied learning expert, renowned for translating cutting-edge memory science into actionable strategies for adults and organizations. Her work emphasizes metacognition, context-dependent learning, and practical approaches to improving retention and skill transfer in professional settings. Elizabeth's research and guidance empower leaders, trainers, and educators to design learning experiences that stick, fostering mastery, confidence, and measurable impact across teams and organizations.In this fascinating conversation, we explore the counterintuitive principles that make learning stick and why making things harder on yourself in the right way actually enhances long-term retention. The Bjorks reveal why cramming feels effective but fails for lasting learning, how forgetting can actually strengthen memory, and why failure should be embraced as a learning opportunity rather than avoided.Key topics include:-Why "desirable difficulties" enhance learning and the illusion of mastery that comes from easy practice-The difference between storage strength and retrieval strength in memory formation-How spacing and interleaving create better long-term retention than massed practice-Why cramming works for immediate tests but fails for lasting knowledge transfer-The New Theory of Disuse and how forgetting can actually strengthen memory-Why changing contexts and environments improves learning transfer and flexibility-How retrieval practice and testing yourself enhances retention better than re-reading-Applications of learning science in sports training and professional development-The importance of embracing failure and mistakes as learning opportunities-Why variation in practice conditions leads to more robust skill developmentWhether you're a leader looking to improve team training, an educator seeking evidence-based strategies, or a professional wanting to enhance your own learning effectiveness, the Bjorks' research provides scientifically-backed insights that challenge common assumptions about how learning really works.The Bjorks' Research: https://bjorklab.psych.ucla.edu/research/-Website and live online programs: http://ims-online.comBlog: https://blog.ims-online.com/Podcast: https://ims-online.com/podcasts/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/charlesgood/Twitter: https://twitter.com/charlesgood99Chapters:(00:00) Introduction(02:00) Tool: Academic Journeys into Mathematical Psychology and Learning Science(06:00) Technique: Why Making Things Hard on Yourself Enhances Learning(09:00) Tip: The Illusion of Mastery from Cramming vs. Lasting Learning(12:00) Tool: Storage Strength vs. Retrieval Strength in Memory Formation(15:00) Technique: Interleaving and Variation in Sports and Skills Training(19:00) Tip: The New Theory of Disuse and How Forgetting Strengthens Memory(22:00) Tool: Embracing Failure and Mistakes as Learning Opportunities(25:00) Technique: Changing Contexts and Environments for Better Transfer(28:00) Tip: The Spacing Effect and Optimal Timing for Retrieval Practice(31:00) Tool: Practical Applications Across Different Learning Domains(33:00) Conclusion

Old photos often remind us not just of where we've been, but of how much we've changed. While it's easy to see the external shifts, it's much harder to make sense of our internal journey, especially when we feel defined by our stumbles. This message explores how our moments of greatest failure can become the surprising location of our deepest healing. Discover a practical path forward where your past doesn't get the final say over your future.

What can tiny island lizards teach us about surviving a changing world? Dr. Jenkins sits down with Dr. Christian Cox, Associate Professor at Florida International University, to explore the surprising answers. Christian's research spans the colorful world of reptile evolution—why some snakes and lizards look and behave the way they do, how size and shape vary between the sexes, and what feeding habits reveal about survival. But at the heart of this conversation is his decades-long study of Anole lizards living on hundreds of islands in a massive lake linked to the Panama Canal. These natural experiments reveal how reptiles respond to sudden environmental shifts, offering clues to how wildlife may adapt in the face of climate change.Connect with Christian at FIU.

I've recently written about how I've updated against seeing substantially faster than trend AI progress due to quickly massively scaling up RL on agentic software engineering. One response I've heard is something like: RL scale-ups so far have used very crappy environments due to difficulty quickly sourcing enough decent (or even high quality) environments. Thus, once AI companies manage to get their hands on actually good RL environments (which could happen pretty quickly), performance will increase a bunch. Another way to put this response is that AI companies haven't actually done a good job scaling up RL—they've scaled up the compute, but with low quality data—and once they actually do the RL scale up for real this time, there will be a big jump in AI capabilities (which yields substantially above trend progress). I'm skeptical of this argument because I think that ongoing improvements to RL environments [...] ---Outline:(04:18) Counterargument: Actually, companies havent gotten around to improving RL environment quality until recently (or there is substantial lead time on scaling up RL environments etc.) so better RL environments didnt drive much of late 2024 and 2025 progress(05:24) Counterargument: AIs will soon reach a critical capability threshold where AIs themselves can build high quality RL environments(06:51) Counterargument: AI companies are massively fucking up their training runs (either pretraining or RL) and once they get their shit together more, well see fast progress(08:34) Counterargument: This isnt that related to RL scale up, but OpenAI has some massive internal advance in verification which they demonstrated via getting IMO gold and this will cause (much) faster progress late this year or early next year(10:12) Thoughts and speculation on scaling up the quality of RL environmentsThe original text contained 5 footnotes which were omitted from this narration. --- First published: September 3rd, 2025 Source: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/HsLWpZ2zad43nzvWi/trust-me-bro-just-one-more-rl-scale-up-this-one-will-be-the --- Narrated by TYPE III AUDIO.

This episode of "The Deep Dive" explores the hidden dangers of using standard synthetic ropes in high-voltage environments and the shift towards true dielectric ropes. We discuss how traditional ropes can become conductive when exposed to moisture and contaminants, turning them into a serious safety hazard. We also cover the importance of rigorous testing, proper maintenance, and the barriers to adopting this life-saving technology. Read the article: https://incident-prevention.com/blog/from-risk-to-reliability-improving-rope-safety-in-energized-environments/ Written by Patrick Barry on June 10, 2025. Posted in Worksite Safety. Key Takeaways Traditional Ropes are a Hidden Danger: Standard synthetic ropes, often assumed to be non-conductive, can absorb moisture and contaminants, making them conductive and posing a significant risk in energized environments. True Dielectric Ropes are a System: A true dielectric rope is more than just a product; it's a system that includes a specific design for electrical insulation, rigorous testing against global standards, and a commitment to proper maintenance throughout its lifecycle. Barriers to Adoption: The adoption of dielectric ropes has been slow due to factors like resistance to change, the misconception that they are only necessary for live-line work, and financial hurdles. Best Practices are Crucial: To ensure the safety and reliability of dielectric ropes, it's essential to verify compliance with standards, store and maintain them properly, inspect them before each use, and provide thorough training for all workers. Q&A 1. What is the main problem with using traditional synthetic ropes in high-voltage environments? The main problem is that while the base material of these ropes (like polyester or polypropylene) is an insulator, the rope as a whole can absorb moisture, dirt, and oil. This contamination can make the rope conductive, turning it from a safe tool into a hidden hazard. 2. What makes a "true" dielectric rope different from a standard synthetic rope? A true dielectric rope is designed specifically for electrical insulation from the start and is rigorously tested against global standards like IEC 62192 and ASTM F1701. These ropes are also meant to be maintained like any other critical insulating tool, with a focus on their entire lifecycle. 3. What are some of the barriers preventing the widespread adoption of dielectric ropes? Some of the main barriers include a general resistance to change within the industry, with some believing the old ropes are "good enough". Other barriers are the dangerous assumption that work is always de-energized, dismissing the importance of wet testing, and the financial hurdles associated with the higher upfront cost of these ropes.   #RopeSafety #ElectricalSafety #WorkplaceSafety #IncidentPrevention #LinemanSafety #DielectricRope   ________________________________ This podcast is sponsored by T&D Powerskills.

What information do we receive from the sound around us? Hear thoughts from Matt Goupell (University of Maryland) and Brian Monson (University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign), who join the podcast to discuss their research, along with findings on speech in noisy environments and spatial awareness.Goupell and Monson are presenting at the 2025 ASHA Research Symposium on Hearing at the ASHA Convention. As part of ASHA Voices' annual coverage of that symposium, they join the podcast to discuss their presentations and research.First, Monson shares what we can learn from extended high frequencies—those frequencies higher than 8,000 Hz. He shares thoughts on why these quieter frequencies may be the first to go. Then, Goupell tells us what bilateral cochlear implants are doing well, and how he hopes to see them improve in the future.Learn More:Research Symposium on HearingASHA Voices: A Promising Outlook for Gene Therapy and Hearing LossASHA Voices: The Community Link to Hearing Care AccessTranscript

We all are on the same page when it comes to linking actions with environment. No one is permitted to show pornographic materials to young people or shoot off their guns in urban areas. But we seem reluctant to use the same kind of thinking when it concerns speech. Most of us accept we cannot yell “fire” in a theatre but then why do we think it is ok to yell racial slurs or incendiary remarks about religions in environments where it would cause the same sort of panic? What we need is this same kind of restrictions we have on actions, on speech. Environments matter because context matters. Claims made in a debate in a controlled setting is a far different thing than the same claim made on a subway car to a random and non-consenting audience. If we can assume ‘no' is the default setting when it comes to sex, so too can we assume ‘no' is the default setting when it comes to attacks on people's identity. We have an obligation to get peoples consent, implicitly as when they attend a debate or explicitly when they engage you in a debate.

https://jo.my/z5py4k Heat Stress, Hydration & Working Outdoors:  Clothing and PPE for Hot Environments Working in a warehouse during peak summer heat isn't only uncomfortable, but it can also be dangerous. Heat stress doesn't wait for lunchtime or breaks. It builds fast, especially when you're wearing the wrong gear. One of the top priorities of a solid Safety Culture is protecting workers from heat-related illnesses. That starts with what you wear and how you protect yourself from the sun and rising temperatures. You can feel it in the air; the heat sticking to your skin. Now imagine stacking pallets or loading trucks in that same heat, all while covered in heavy, non-breathable clothing. It's a recipe for heat exhaustion. But the good news? You can fight back with the proper PPE and clothing choices. Here's what can help reduce heat stress while keeping you safe: Go light. Select lightweight, breathable fabrics that allow your body to dissipate heat effectively—synthetic blends designed for moisture-wicking are ideal. Cotton feels good but holds sweat. And that sweat turns into a wet blanket real fast. Keep it cool. Cooling vests, neck wraps, and towels aren't just fancy add-ons. They're game-changers. When available, rotate them in during your shift. Even a damp towel around your neck during breaks helps regulate your core temperature. Ditch the dark. Black and navy clothing absorbs heat. Opt for lighter colors, such as tan, gray, or white, whenever possible. Also, avoid layering unless it's PPE-required. Vent that hard hat. Ventilated hard hats or sweat-wicking liners can make a huge difference. If yours isn't breathable, ask if there are approved alternatives. Your scalp overheats fast, and it's not something most people think about. Protect your eyes and skin. UV-rated safety glasses cut glare and protect your vision. Applying sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) to exposed skin helps prevent sunburn, especially in areas near dock doors or outdoor loading zones. Please don't skip it, even on cloudy days. Staying cool isn't just about comfort; it's also about maintaining your health. It's about avoiding heat exhaustion, heat stroke, and long-term health issues. And, believe it or not, it also keeps you more focused, resulting in fewer mistakes, better reaction times, and safer hands on the job. Discuss with your supervisor if your PPE isn't suitable for the heat. No one should be sweating through clothes that trap heat or having their safety glasses fog up every ten minutes. Heat safety begins with how you present yourself daily. Make smart choices. Listen to your body. And help your coworkers stay accountable too. Thank you for joining us for another episode of Warehouse Safety Tips.

Success doesn't happen by accident—it's engineered. In this engaging episode, Vinney Chopra and Gualter Amarelo pull back the curtain on the hidden forces that drive personal and financial breakthroughs. Vinney's story of arriving in America with $7 and building over 4,500 units in multifamily, senior living, and hospitality investments is nothing short of inspiring. Gualter complements this with his own journey of building wealth through strategic relationships and real estate mastery.   During this episode, they unpack:

It's worth bearing in mind that overtourism has become a real nuisance. As tourists, it's not exactly fun being in a highly overcrowded area, but it's even worse for the natural environment. Could tourism quotas be one way of addressing the problems? In mid-June 2022, the island of Corsica brought in quotas for three iconic sites: the Bavella needles, the Restonica valley and the Lavezzi islands. 180,000 tourists visit these sites each year, a figure which is expected to rise to 200,000 by 2026. Tourists will now need to make advance reservations online in order to visit them, with parking spots also limited. The Lavezzi islands will have a particularly strict tourism quota of 2,000 outside visitors per day. Are there similar examples elsewhere in the world? Will tourism quotas start spreading everywhere now? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

In this episode of SpaceTime, we embark on a thrilling journey through the cosmos, exploring the potential for life on Mars, a remarkable discovery in the outer solar system, and the crucial mapping of sulfur throughout our galaxy.Searching for Life on MarsA new study reveals that thick layers of clay on Mars could indicate stable environments conducive to life billions of years ago. Researchers have identified that these clay deposits likely formed in standing bodies of water, providing the right conditions for chemical weathering and potentially supporting ancient life. The findings suggest that the balance between water and carbon cycles on Mars may explain the planet's geological history and the absence of carbonate rocks. Lead author Rhianna Moore discusses how these stable terrains could have fostered habitable conditions for extended periods, offering insights into the Red Planet's wet past.Discovery of 2020 VN40: A Distant Cosmic CompanionAstronomers have discovered a rare celestial body, 2020 VN40, located far beyond Neptune, moving in perfect synchronicity with the ice giant. This trans-Neptunian object orbits the sun once for every ten orbits Neptune completes, providing new insights into the dynamics of the outer solar system. The discovery, reported in the Planetary Science journal, enhances our understanding of how distant objects interact with Neptune's gravity and offers clues about the solar system's evolution.Mapping Sulfur in the Milky WayA groundbreaking study has mapped the distribution of sulfur across the Milky Way, an essential element for life. Utilizing the CRISM X-Ray Imaging and Spectroscopy mission, scientists have directly measured sulfur in both its gaseous and solid forms within the interstellar medium. The findings shed light on sulfur's role in the cosmos and its potential implications for understanding life's distribution throughout the galaxy. This research marks a significant step in answering fundamental questions about the building blocks of life in the universe.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesNature Astronomyhttps://www.nature.com/natureastronomy/Planetary Science Journalhttps://iopscience.iop.org/journal/2632-3338CRISM Missionhttps://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/asteroids/overview/crism.htmlBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-space-astronomy--2458531/support.

What if the spaces we inhabit could actually help us heal? In this episode, we speak with Dr. Esther Sternberg, a pioneering physician and scientist whose groundbreaking research bridges neuroscience, architecture, and integrative medicine. Drawing from her work at the NIH and the Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine, Dr. Sternberg reveals how elements like light, air quality, noise, and spatial design can profoundly affect our stress levels, focus, and overall health. We explore how thoughtfully designed environments—whether offices, hospitals, or senior living spaces—can support emotional and physical well-being. Through the lens of integrative health, which considers sleep, movement, nutrition, relationships, spirituality, and the built environment, Dr. Sternberg offers a powerful case for reimagining the spaces around us to truly support how we live, work, and heal.

The topic focuses on Cognitive Resilience Modeling, an advanced strategy for preventing human error by designing systems that support mental adaptability, attention control, and recovery under pressure. By integrating neuroscience, human factors, and systems thinking, this approach goes beyond compliance to build error-tolerant environments. It aims to reduce mental overload, anticipate cognitive breakdowns, and enhance decision-making through more innovative interfaces, adaptive tools, and training focused on real-world complexity. The goal is not just to avoid errors but to build a resilient workforce capable of sustaining high performance in dynamic, high-stakes settings.To learn more, visit:https://humanerrorsolutions.com/Listen to more episodes on Mission Matters:https://missionmatters.com/author/ginette-collazo/

It's clear people are looking for ways to protect their peace. And if the comments, DMs, and emails are any indication, they're also looking for permission to do so.That's exactly why this conversation with Katrina Jones on DEI After 5 hit such a nerve. It's one of our most-watched episodes, and it makes sense—this is the stuff so many of us have been trying to name. That quiet unraveling you feel when you're committed to the work, but the workplace doesn't care. That guilt for wanting to step back when the weight of everything is on your shoulders. That slow erosion of your well-being in places that claim to value you but rarely show it.Katrina and I talked candidly about the emotional toll of toxic work environments—especially for those of us doing work that is rooted in justice, inclusion, or lived experience. There's a unique pain that comes with trying to create change in systems that don't want to be changed.But here's what we explored that I think we all need to hear:

In this encore episode of The Autism Little Learners Podcast, Tara reconnects with Cari Ebert, a respected speech-language pathologist and passionate advocate for neurodiversity-affirming practices. Together, they revisit a powerful conversation that redefines what play and connection can look like for autistic children. Cari shares valuable insights into why autistic play is real, meaningful, and should be honored as such. She explains how deep interests can be a gateway to learning, joy, and communication—and how adults can build stronger relationships with children by embracing these passions. The episode also explores the idea of presuming competence and cultivating supportive environments where every child feels seen and valued. Whether you're hearing this conversation for the first time or listening again, it's packed with practical ideas and heart-centered strategies to help you support autistic children in ways that truly honor who they are. Key Takeaways: Autistic children experience and express play in unique, valid ways. Deep interests are powerful tools for building trust and engagement. Connection and respect must come before compliance or correction. Play is not a prerequisite for learning—it is learning. Presuming competence opens the door to authentic communication. Environments that support individuality fuel growth and joy. Reflecting on our practices helps us better support each child.

Dr. Michelle Starz-Gaiano is Professor and Chair of Biological Sciences at the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC). Michelle's research uses fruit flies to examine how cells in the body go to the right place at the right time. Understanding why and how cells use their genetic information to move through the body is critical because if this movement doesn't happen correctly, it could, for example, impact embryo development or affect how immune cells mobilize after an injury. Conversely, preventing cancer cells from moving could keep cancer from spreading to other parts of the body. Michelle often spends her free time cooking and baking. Her kitchen looks a little like a lab, and she enjoys experimenting with making different foods. Michelle and her family also like to spend time together, travel, and listen to music. She received her bachelor's degree in biology from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and her PhD in Developmental Genetics from New York University. Afterwards, Michelle completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. She joined UMBC in 2008 and has received the Donald Creighton Outstanding Faculty Member Award from the UMBC Graduate Student Association for her excellent mentorship. In our interview, she shares more about her life and science.
