Künstliche Intelligenz verändert unsere Arbeitswelt so grundlegend wie einst die Dampfmaschine. Sie schafft neue Berufsbilder, verschiebt Aufgabenprofile und stellt viele Tätigkeiten auf den Prüfstand. Doch worin liegt künftig die besondere Stärke des Menschen – und wie können wir KI nutzen, statt uns von ihr überwältigen zu lassen? Darüber spricht das Host-Duo Nathalie Joest, Bereichsleiterin Communities und verantwortlich für das DLG-Netzwerk Female Agri Fellows, und Stefanie Pionke, Bereichsleiterin Content der DLG, im neuen DLG-Podcast Spezial. Zu Gast ist Livia Martins, Gründerin des Beratungsunternehmens Cebra Talent. Gemeinsam diskutieren sie, welche Zukunftskompetenzen im KI-Zeitalter wirklich zählen, warum Fähigkeiten wie Empathie, Führung oder Begeisterungsfähigkeit unverzichtbar bleiben und wie sich diese Kompetenzen gezielt trainieren lassen. Auch der Frage, ob es typisch „männliche“ oder „weibliche“ Zukunftskompetenzen gibt, gehen sie auf den Grund. Die Episode bietet einen Vorgeschmack auf das Impulsforum der Female Agri Fellows „Zukunftskompetenzen verstehen und nutzen: Ihr Schlüssel zum Erfolg in Zeiten von KI“ auf der DLG-Wintertagung am Mittwoch, 25. Februar, in Hannover.

Kate Leslie and Andy Cumpstey join special guests at the British Journal of Anaesthesia's annual meeting in Dublin, Ireland. The discussion focuses on the experiences and motivations of three BJA editorial fellows; Allison Janda, Anesthesiologist and Assistant Professor at the University of Michigan; Brett Doleman, clinical academic and anaesthetist from the University of Nottingham; and Christina Boncyk, critical care anesthesiologist and Associate Professor at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee. The conversation delves into their roles, the peer review process, and the mentorship that shapes their contributions to medical science. They emphasize the importance of constructive feedback, scientific rigor, and encouraging participation from new reviewers. The episode underscores the professional growth afforded by editorial roles and highlights ways to enhance the author and reviewer experience in academic publishing.

Today, Morgan, Jamil, Les, and Andy survey a busy week in the Western Hemisphere, as the Trump administration sharpens its focus closer to home. President Gustavo Petro's visit to the White House signaled a thaw in U.S.–Colombia relations, with renewed counternarcotics cooperation and discussions around exporting Venezuelan natural gas to Colombia. Meanwhile, Panama's Supreme Court annulled a contract allowing a Hong Kong–based company to operate ports at the Panama Canal, prompting sharp warnings from Beijing and aligning closely with Washington's push to limit China's influence in the region.Are these signs that the U.S. is finally reasserting itself in the Western Hemisphere? Is the message landing with China and Russia as Washington draws firmer lines around the Panama Canal, Venezuela, and regional security? And after years of U.S. neglect that allowed Beijing to become a top trading partner for many Latin American countries, can renewed attention actually push adversaries out and deliver lasting influence?Check out these sources that shaped our Fellows' discussion: https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/china-calls-panama-court-ruling-ck-hutchison-port-contracts-shameful-pathetic-2026-02-03/https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/trump-meet-colombian-president-gustavo-petro-venezuela-nicolas-maduro-rcna257101 @morganlroach@jamil_n_jaffer@lestermunson@andykeiserLike what we're doing here?

President and Fellows of Harvard College v. Harvard Graduate Students Union - UAW, Local 5118

On January 3rd, 2026 the United States of America military, under orders from Donald Trump, captured and kidnapped Venezuela's President Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Celia Flores. Despite Maduro's and Flores' indictments from the US Justice Department, accusing them of narco-terrorism conspiracy, this act was, according to many observers, a clear violation of international law. The Trump administration didn't seem to care too much about that. Despite some vague attempts to provide a legal justification for its actions, Stephen Miller, The White House deputy chief of staff for policy, said he had little regard for what he termed “international niceties”: “We live in a world, in the real world…that is governed by strength, that is governed by force, that is governed by power…These are the iron laws of the world since the beginning of time.”These words echo how a particular philosophy of international relations called “realism” has been understanding the world, long before Donald Trump came to office. For realists, what the US did in Venezuela is not too different to what the US has always done (not just in South America, but also in Iraq and Afghanistan), only this time any pretence of morality or legality has been, more or less, dropped, in favour of brandishing brute force and naked self-interest.  So, was international law always just a thin veil of justification for the exercise of brute force? Or are Trump's actions a departure from a more civilised world in which even the most powerful states were constrained by international legal norms. Linda Kinstler is a Junior Fellow at the Harvard Society of Fellows and a scholar of legal and intellectual history. Her first book, Come to This Court & Cry (Public Affairs, 2022) won a Whiting Award in Non-Fiction and was shortlisted for the Wingate Prize for Jewish Literature. She is also a contributing writer to the New York Times Magazine and frequently writes for the New York Review of Books, the London Review of Books, The Atlantic, and elsewhere. Her essay The Theory That Gives Trump a Blank Check for Aggression will form the basis of our conversation.If you enjoyed the episode, please leave us a rating and a review on Apple Podcasts.This podcast is created in partnership with The Philosopher, the UK's longest running public philosophy journalm founded in 1923.

Today, Les, Jamil, Morgan, and Matt turn to Sudan, where a brutal civil war has entered its third year and now stands as one of the world's worst humanitarian catastrophes. As fighting between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces continues to displace millions and drive staggering civilian casualties, regional powers are deepening their involvement. With Turkey, Egypt, the UAE, and others backing opposing sides, the conflict is increasingly shaped by proxy warfare and emerging military technologies.What does this escalating proxy fight mean for U.S. interests? As Washington pulls back traditional aid tools and shifts its foreign policy posture toward trade and economic leverage, does the U.S. still have influence in a conflict this severe? How should policymakers think about Sudan's strategic geography, especially as China and Russia look for openings to expand their footprint? And in a war where outside actors fuel the violence but Sudanese leaders bear responsibility, what role, if any, should the United States play?Check out these sources that shaped our Fellows' discussion: https://www.msn.com/en-us/politics/general/sudan-humanitarian-situation-is-worst-crisis-of-2025/ar-AA1SIQ00?ocid=BingNewsVerphttps://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/sudans-war-torn-capital-sees-commercial-flight-land-129749973 https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/01/world/africa/egypt-sudan-drones.html @morganlroach@jamil_n_jaffer@NotTVJessJones@WMattHaydenLike what we're doing here?

The Trump administration's National Security Strategy calls for "flexible realism" in foreign policy, a supposed departure from the military adventurism that led to disasters in the Greater Middle East. Realism prioritizes national interests rather than ideology or high principles, such as democracy and human rights. Is Donald Trump a realist? What are the historical origins of realism? What are its opposites? In this episode, scholars Linda Kinstler and Stephen Wertheim break it down. Linda Kinstler is a contributing writer for New York Times Magazine and a junior fellow at the Harvard Society of Fellows. Stephen Wertheim is a senior fellow in the American Statecraft Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.  Recommended reading: The Theory That Gives Trump a Blank Check For Aggression by Linda Kinstler (New York Times)

Today, Jess, Les, Andrew, and Joshua take a step back from the headlines for a Fun Friday roundtable on the best and worst American foreign policy decisions, inspired by a recent Council on Foreign Relations article drawing on conversations with the Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations. From the Marshall Plan and Bretton Woods to PEPFAR and the peaceful end of the Cold War in Europe, the team reflects on moments when U.S. leadership, economic power, and long-term thinking paid real dividends.What separates foreign policy successes from failures? Why do some hard-power decisions look effective at first but unravel over time? And as the U.S. looks ahead, what should decision-makers keep firmly in mind before reaching for any one instrument of power?Check out the article that helped shape our Fellows' discussion: https://www.cfr.org/ten-best-ten-worst-us-foreign-policy-decisions/?utm_source=newsrelease&utm_campaign=best-worst-2026&utm_medium=email&utm_term=PressCFR%20-%20Including%20Members%20and%20Staff @NotTVJessJones@lestermunson@AndrewBorene@joshuachuminskiLike what we're doing here?

This week on Better Buildings for Humans, host Joe Menchefski welcomes building science legend Dr. Joseph Lstiburek for an unfiltered and unforgettable conversation. From mold to CO₂ myths, Joseph challenges conventional thinking about ventilation, insulation, humidity control, and what really makes a building “healthy.” With decades of hands-on experience, a sharp wit, and a no-nonsense take on industry dogma, he dives deep into where the U.S. is falling short—and how Canada got it right. You'll hear why "drying potential" matters more than you think, the trouble with high-performance HVAC, and why most over-ventilated buildings are actually failing their occupants. This episode is a must-listen for anyone serious about high-performance buildings, durable design, and real-world building science.More About Thierry ParetThierry Paret is an award-winning architect and seasoned leader with extensive international management experience in the U.S., Europe, and the Middle East.

What if the people best suited to transform the justice system are the ones who know what it's like to live inside of it? In prisons across the country, incarcerated organizers have long fought for policy change, but they’ve rarely had the resources to communicate with the outside world and stay up-to-date on current events. In this episode, host Maya Rupert speaks with James King, Director of Programs at the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights, about how the organization is changing that through their Inside/Outside Policy Fellowship. Now in its fifth year, the program pairs incarcerated Inside Fellows with formerly incarcerated Outside Fellows to lead system reform together. In working to shape campaigns like the California Racial Justice Act, and ensuring that incarcerated fellows are fairly compensated for their work, Fellows are transforming both the system and their own lives.

Author Noam Sienna unveils a vast Sephardic world created by these books. This literary network transcended geographical boundaries, connecting Jewish communities from Fez and Tunis to Salonica, Jerusalem, and Livorno. By examining cultural centers and tracing the journey of these texts, Sienna provides depth to our understanding of a remarkably global and worldly book culture, and its evolving role in the growth of Jewish modernity.While the content of Jewish books has long fascinated scholars, Jewish Books in North Africa shifts our focus to the physical context. These books were not isolated artifacts; they were embedded in cultural networks during a period of religious, political, and cultural transformation. Sienna's work sheds light on the intricate interplay between books and the dynamic world in which they existed. Noam Sienna is the Jerome and Lorraine Aresty Visiting Scholar in Jewish Book Arts at the Bildner Center for the Study of Jewish Life, Rutgers-New Brunswick. He received his PhD in History and Museum Studies from the University of Minnesota and is also a Senior Fellow with the Andrew W. Mellon Society of Fellows in Critical Bibliography. His monograph received the 2025 Book Award from the Middle East Librarians Association. Geraldine Gudefin is a modern Jewish historian researching Jewish migrations, family life, and legal pluralism.

Amron Buch This year, the Kiwanis Goodfellows program made a major impact in Kewanee, serving 950 households and 2,667 people—about 21% of the Kewanee population—with Christmas food baskets. Over 2,600 individuals received essential groceries, with each basket containing staples like ham, eggs, and canned goods. The grocery bill for 2025 was over $38,317.36. The effort relied on support from community donors, local schools, the Kiwanis Key Club, and dozens of student and adult volunteers. Their hard work saw baskets quickly packed and delivered on schedule. Organizers emphasized that every donation helps and praised the district's young people for their commitment, ensuring no one in Kewanee went hungry during the holidays. Volunteers filled each basket with items from an impressive grocery list—859 boneless hams, over 13,500 canned goods, thousands of eggs, and heaps of fresh fruit, all thanks to countless donors and community partners. The operation involved students, school staff, and local businesses, highlighting the commitment and compassion of board members, educators, and volunteers who made it all possible. Read the full lists below. Goodfellows asks residents to continue supporting their mission to ensure no one goes hungry at Christmas, accepting donations year-round by mail or electronically. Organizers emphasized the power of teamwork and the difference these baskets make for local families. You can donate by mail to Kewanee Good Fellows, PO Box 5, Kewanee, Illinois, 61443; PayPal; or Venmo

For home builders, the first impression often occurs long before a prospect steps into a model home—it happens online. Yet new data shows that many digital inquiries are still met with slow responses, inconsistent follow-up or silence altogether. Leah Fellows, president of Blue Gypsy, Inc., and Ben Marks, president of Melinda Brody & Co., join Host Carol Morgan on the Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio podcast to discuss what the 2026 Online Home Buyer Mystery Shop reveals about follow-up speed and missed opportunities in today's buying environment. Now in its sixth year, the study continues to reveal a critical disconnect between internal expectations and actual homebuyer experiences. Why Mystery Shopping Reveals What CRM Data Cannot Many builders rely heavily on customer relationship management (CRM) reports to evaluate performance, but those systems only tell part of the story. “CRM reports tell you what should have happened,” Marks said. “Industry shopping shows what actually happened from the customer's perspective.” That perspective matters more than ever in a market where response time, tone and consistency often determine whether a prospect converts or moves on. Mystery shopping serves as an independent check, confirming not only whether contact was attempted, but also whether questions were answered, conversations were personalized and next steps were clearly communicated. Designing a Study That Mirrors the Homebuyer Journey To capture realistic behavior, the Online Home Buyer Mystery Shop is designed to reflect how today's buyers engage with home builders. Shoppers submit inquiries through website contact forms during business hours, asking questions commonly related to current market conditions, including incentives and availability. Unlike shorter studies that focus solely on initial responses, this mystery shop tracks follow-up over 30 days. The extended window often reveals whether builders nurture demand over time or abandon leads after the first attempt. Six Years of Industry Insights and Lingering Gaps The mystery shop began in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, when builders were forced to pivot quickly to online sales. Despite greater awareness, results show progress has been inconsistent. Builders with online sales counselors (OSCs) continue to outperform those without, a trend largely unchanged over time. The Missing Human Element in Digital Home Sales One concerning trend in the latest report is a decline in the number of builders employing OSCs. Without a dedicated role managing online leads, inquiries are often routed to marketing teams or on-site sales agents focused on walk-in traffic, resulting in slower responses and inconsistent follow-up. Even among builders with OSCs, many fail to make the human presence visible online. About half clearly feature their OSCs on their websites. Fellows said, “Having a personalized feel to your website—that there's a real person there to help—can improve calls to action, lead engagement and more. People think they can cover the buyer journey with a chatbot or AI,” she said. “I still don't think we're there yet.” In an industry built on relationships, the absence of a clear human connection can mean missed opportunities to build confidence early. The study also highlights ongoing challenges with follow-up. Phone outreach declined again in 2025, particularly among builders without OSCs. Leads are often deprioritized when a prospect does not respond immediately. Some builders also lean too heavily on automation. Marks cited an example of a builder that sent 74 marketing emails in 30 days without any direct OSC follow-up. Without the personalized connection of an OSC, the emails likely had a high opt-out rate. Why Anonymous Mystery Shopping Drives Real Improvement Since the study is conducted anonymously, it reflects everyday behavior rather than best-case scenarios. “Advance notice changes behavior,” Marks said. “Response times improve, follow-up becomes more polished and the results no longer reflect everyday action.” Beyond evaluation, mystery shopping provides immediate, actionable insight. It highlights strengths, exposes breakdowns and establishes a baseline to measure progress over time. For builders navigating an increasingly competitive digital landscape, the takeaway is clear: consistent systems, timely follow-up and authentic human connection remain essential to converting online leads into homebuyers.

Today, Morgan, Les, Jamil, and Algene discuss the United States' announcement that it would provide security guarantees to Ukraine as part of a potential peace settlement with Russia. The move follows discussions in Paris between U.S. and European partners, outlining a proposed security architecture for Ukraine and “legally binding” commitments meant to support a postwar order. U.S. Envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner have both indicated President Trump's backing, and Ukrainian officials say roughly 90 percent of a peace framework is agreed—though major territorial questions remain unresolved.What do security guarantees actually mean in practice, and do they bring Ukraine any closer to a durable peace? Are these commitments meaningful deterrents, or largely symbolic without clear enforcement mechanisms? And with Russia showing no willingness to accept a ceasefire—or the presence of Western peacekeepers—what happens if Moscow simply ignores the framework altogether?

Tina Mabley, Senior Assistant Dean of the Full-Time MBA Program at Texas McCombs, joins host Graham Richmond to unpack one of McCombs' signature student-development initiatives: the Hildebrand Leadership Fellows. She explains how the program was built to fill a critical gap in traditional MBA training, why McCombs draws a sharp distinction between leadership and management, and how students often rethink their own assumptions about what it means to lead. She walks through the program's core components — assessments, coaching, workshops, and deep reflection — and explores the hands-on experiences that help Fellows translate big ideas into real behavior change.

What if understanding your codebase was no longer a blocker for great testing? Most testers were trained to work around the code — clicking through UIs, guessing selectors, and relying on outdated docs or developer explanations. In this episode, Playwright expert Ben Fellows flip that model on its head. Using AI tools like Cursor, testers can now explore the codebase directly — asking questions, uncovering APIs, understanding data relationships, and spotting risk before a single test is written. This isn't about becoming a developer. It's about using AI to finally see how the system really works — and using that insight to test smarter, earlier, and with far more confidence. If you've ever joined a new team, inherited a legacy app, or struggled to understand what really changed in a release, this episode is for you.

Kewanee Good Fellows President Amron Buchanan and Vice President Ken Knowles joined Wake Up Tri-Counties to talk about Good Fellows Christmas Baskets. The deadline to nominate someone for a food basket or get your name on the list for a basket is December 12, 2025. Call Kewanee High School at 309-853-3328, option 2, to get yourself or someone you know on the list for a Christmas food basket. You will need to provide a name, address, phone number, and number of people in the family when you call Kewanee High School. The baskets will be delivered on December 19th. The cutoff date allows them time to set up the boxes and fill them with food. If you miss the December 12th cutoff, call Kewanee High School as soon as possible to be added to the list. Ken said they "have never not had somebody get a basket," but the food options in the basket may be limited. They are planning for 860 baskets, but will ask Save-A-Lot to plan for 860 to 900 baskets. Amron and Ken said that Sav-A-Lot always works with them to make sure they get all the food they need. Thanks to organizations like Kiwanis and student clubs, Amron and Ken said they have enough volunteers but need donations to pay for the food. They thank the adults who drive the students around to deliver the baskets and all the students who help organize the food boxes and fill them. The food bill was $34,574 last year for 860 baskets. Baskets are small, medium, and large in size, depending on the number of people in the family. They don't have an anticipated total for the food bill this year but estimate around $34,000 for 860 baskets. 100% of your donation is spent in Kewanee and delivered to Kewanee and Neponset residents. The Gordon Vickrey Memorial Food Drive is in full swing and is underway now through December 17th. Students and families are encouraged to donate non-perishable food items at the Kewanee, Wethersfield, and Visitation School Districts. As an added incentive, the classroom in each school that collects the highest number of items will win a pizza party. The initiative, organized by the Key Club, aims to support local families through the Good Fellows Christmas Baskets for people in need during the holiday season. Community members can contribute by dropping off items at any district school building, helping to make a difference and honor Gordon Vickrey's legacy of giving. You can still donate through PayPal, Venmo, or mail a donation to Good Fellows Christmas Baskets Club, PO Box 5, Kewanee, IL 61443.

The Thinking Fellows examine the Ligonier 2025 State of Theology Survey. They identify a major recurring theme: Christians are contradicting themselves. Fundamental questions about the nature of God, the authority of Scripture, and the work of Jesus are answered correctly by most respondents. However, the same individuals then give contradictory answers to adjacent questions such as the nature of the Holy Spirit, whether Christians must adhere to biblical morality, or whether the worship of false gods saves. The Fellows discuss catechesis and the impact of culture on what people say and what they believe.
