Considering how comedy writer Les Firestein helped usher TV smash hit "In Living Color" to fame as an executive producer with the show's unique and irreverent brand of risk-taking sketch comedy, it's no surprise that Les also challenged the system in his days as a student. Watch him reminisce about his educational experiences and reflect on how a propensity for challenging authority as a youth has led to his latest entrepreneurial venture, a magazine that blends architecture with his personal brand of humor titled The Riv.

Firestein is the inaugural president and CEO of the George H. W. Bush Foundation for U.S.-China Relations (Bush China Foundation) and a founding and current member of the Foundation's Board of Directors. He is based in Austin, Texas.Prior to joining the Bush China Foundation, Mr. Firestein was the founding executive director of The University of Texas at Austin's (UT) China Public Policy Center (CPPC) and a clinical professor at UT's Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs. Before moving to UT, Mr. Firestein served as senior vice president and Perot Fellow at the New York City-based EastWest Institute (EWI), where he led the Institute's track 2 diplomacy work in the areas of U.S.-China relations, East Asian security and U.S.-Russia relations; Mr. Firestein, who held EWI's lone endowed chair, remains one of the longest-serving senior executives in EWI history.A decorated career U.S. diplomat from 1992–2010, Mr. Firestein specialized primarily in U.S.-China relations. Among the honors he garnered during his diplomatic career were the Secretary of State's Award for Public Outreach (2006) and the Linguist of the Year Award (1997). Toward the end of his State Department career, he served as an elected member of the Board of Governors of the American Foreign Service Association (AFSA), the union and professional association of the United States Foreign Service; in this capacity, he represented and worked to advance the interests of several thousand State Department constituents. He also served as the elected president of the large community associations of the U.S. embassies in Beijing and Moscow.Mr. Firestein is the author or co-author of three books on China, including two China-published Chinese-language best-sellers, as well as a large number of China-focused monographs, policy reports and articles (and publications on non-China-related topics). As a writer, Mr. Firestein broke new ground in a number of ways:  in the mid-1990s, he became the first foreign citizen to have a regular column in a People's Republic of China newspaper and the first foreign diplomat (and perhaps the first foreign citizen) to publish an original book in the country, among other milestones.  He is a prolific public speaker and frequent commentator in the U.S. and Chinese media. The Voice of America's Mandarin Service wrote in 2016 that Mr. Firestein is “one of the world's best non-native speakers of Mandarin Chinese”; early in his career, he interpreted for dozens of top-level U.S. and Chinese leaders and officials. (Mr. Firestein also speaks Russian.)In the years since he left the State Department, Mr. Firestein has produced path-breaking Capitol Hill testimony, thought leadership and scholarship on a wide range of topics, including U.S. arms sales to Taiwan, U.S.-China trade, the role of national exceptionalism as a driver of major international conflict, the value of government, U.S. public diplomacy in the wake of 9/11 and the use of contemporary country music as presidential campaign communication. Numerous incumbent and former U.S. secretaries of state and national security advisors from both sides of the partisan aisle—along with multiple other incumbent and former U.S. Cabinet members, members of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, U.S. combatant commanders and other prominent U.S. figures—have lauded his contributions and achievements in the area of U.S.-China relations.In recent years, Mr. Firestein periodically has been invited to brief significant swaths of the U.S. investment community, including via the 20-20 Investment Association and the Pacific Pension & Investment Institute, which together represent well over $30 trillion under management, on China and U.S.-China relations.Mr. Firestein currently serves on the boards of directors or advisors of over a dozen foreign affairs-focused, business-focused, China-focused and Texas-focused U.S. non-profit organizations. Of particular note, he is one of the few Americans who is concurrently formally affiliated with two different U.S. presidential legacy entities (the Bush China Foundation; and the LBJ School of Public Affairs, where he serves on the Dean's Advisory Council). He is also the only non-profit executive ever elected to the Board of Directors of the Texas Association of Business, Texas' influential chamber of commerce. And he is a member of the founding, and current, Board of Directors of the U.S. Heartland China Association, where he serves as the inaugural chairman of the policy committee.Mr. Firestein was a member of the graduate faculty of The University of Texas at Austin for a total of four academic years, most recently from 2017 to 2019.  He was also the first foreign diplomat ever to teach courses and coach debate at MGIMO (now, MGIMO University), Russia's premier foreign affairs training ground.A native of Austin, Texas and current resident of the Austin area, Mr. Firestein holds a bachelor's degree from Georgetown University and two master's degrees from The University of Texas at Austin, as well as various advanced training certifications from the National Foreign Affairs Training Center of the U.S. Department of State.

Today, we were delighted to host  David Firestein, President and CEO of the George H.W. Bush Foundation for U.S.-China Relations (the Bush China Foundation). His multi-decade experience immersed in China (and Russia) provided balanced perspective and historical context to a whole set of complex geopolitical issues. The conversation ranged from David's perspective on how/why the US-China relationship has changed, how that change impacts China-Russia relations, how the Chinese people perceive the US, US-China energy market inter-play, and the ever-present Taiwan-China tension. We wrapped up our discussion with David focusing on China's role in and attitude towards climate change. As it so happens, June 12th would have marked George H. W. Bush's 98th birthday and we also touch on his legacy in the conversation as well. Mike Bradley started the show with a discussion on natural gas markets, LNG outages, prospects for winter markets in both the US and Europe, and the overall wild equity market ride we are on right now.  Colin Fenton flagged what is catching his eye in global currency and government debt markets and how that action presents risk to both equity markets as well as energy demand. David has a quote highlighted on the Bush China Foundation's webpage that we found worth repeating: "The gravest threat to America today is the untethering of our nation's public policy and political discourse from factual reality; unless and until we rectify that, we as a nation will never be able to out-compete China - or, indeed, solve any of our nation's pressing problems." A truer thought we have not heard. Our best to you all!

The general public has a glorified view of the pursuit of scientific research. However, the idealized perception of science as a rule-based, methodical system for accumulating facts could not be further from the truth. Modern science involves the idiosyncratic, often bumbling search for understanding in uncharted territories, full of wrong turns, false findings, and the occasional remarkable success. In his sequel to Ignorance (Oxford University Press, 2012), Stuart Firestein shows us that the scientific enterprise is riddled with mistakes and errors - and that this is a good thing! Failure: Why Science Is So Successful delves into the origins of scientific research as a process that relies upon trial and error, one which inevitably results in a hefty dose of failure. In fact, scientists throughout history have relied on failure to guide their research, viewing mistakes as a necessary part of the process. Citing both historical and contemporary examples, Firestein strips away the distorted view of science as infallible to provide the public with a rare, inside glimpse of the messy realities of the scientific process. An insider's view of how science is actually carried out, this book will delight anyone with an interest in science, from aspiring scientists to curious general listeners. Accessible and entertaining, Failure illuminates the greatest and most productive adventure of human history, with all the missteps along the way.

“Time is linear. It does not scale.” When that’s someone’s opening statement, you know it’s going to be a great interview. (And we weren’t disappointed.) Roy Firestein joined us on the 1to10 podcast to discuss how to move from a service-based company to a product-based company. Roy is the Chief Product Officer at Cycura, where they deliver offensive (and defensive) cybersecurity services. He’s a seasoned hacker, co-founder of HackStudent and  autohost.ai, and an Advisory Board Member of SecTor (Security Education Conference Toronto). When he came aboard Cycura, his top priority was to help the company scale by developing a product offering. The company had successfully found vulnerabilities within the infrastructure of many of the largest tech companies in the world (such as Google, Facebook, & Microsoft, and others), but the leadership knew that without a product to supplement their service offerings, it would be difficult to move past a few million in revenue. So, Roy’s on a mission to productize their services. He shared 5 vital steps to moving your company from a service-only company to a product-based business: On this episode, Roy also suggests a book called Your Brain at Work, by David Rock)

Julia Fisher talks to David Firestein – he is a Russian Jew – his parents, who were brought up in Communist Russia and are atheists, came to Israel when he was 10 years old. As a young man, David became deeply disillusioned with life and attempted to commit suicide. However, he survived and lying in a hospital bed and seeing the grief stricken face of his mother, David realised God had spared his life. Shortly after, he came to understand that Jesus was his Messiah – that He had died for his sins – and gradually he came to believe in Jesus. Our aim is to build bridges... To build bridges of understanding and support, in a spirit of reconciliation, between believers (both Jewish and Arab) in the Holy Land (Israel and the Palestinian Areas) and Christians worldwide. olivetreefund.org

Julia Fisher talks to David Firestein. We met in Netanya, a city just north of Tel Aviv. David's parents are Russian – his father a Russian Jew. After travelling around the world, the family came to live in Israel when David was 10 years old. He has a fascinating story and starts by talking about his parents. Our aim is to build bridges...

Wie sieht echtes wissenschaftliches Arbeiten aus? Der Neurowissenschaftler Stuart Firestein witzelt: Wesentlich weniger wie eine wissenschaftliche Methode und eher wie "Herumrülpsen ... im Dunkeln". In diesem klugen Vortrag dringt Firestein zum Herz der Wissenschaft, wie sie heutzutage praktiziert wird, vor, und unterbreitet den Vorschlag, das wertzuschätzen, was wir nicht wissen – die "hochqualitative Ignoranz" – genau so sehr wie das, was wir wissen.

Como é realmente um trabalho científico? O neurocientista Stuart Firestein brinca: é muito pouco parecido com o método científico e muito mais com "enrolar... no escuro". Nesta palestra espirituosa, Firestein chega ao âmago da ciência como é realmente praticada, e sugere que devemos valorizar o que não sabemos, ou a "ignorância de alta qualidade", tanto quanto o que sabemos.

Qu'est-ce que le vrai travail scientifique ? Le chercheur en neuroscience Stuart Firestein explique avec humour qu'il s'agit de "glander ... dans le noir" plutôt que de méthode scientifique. Dans cette conférence pleine d'esprit, Firestein nous emmène au cœur de la science et de sa pratique réelle, et propose d'accorder autant d'importance à ce que nous ignorons ("l'ignorance haut de gamme") qu'à ce que nous savons.

¿Cómo es realmente el trabajo de un científico? Como neurocientífico Stuart Firestein bromea: se parece mucho menos al método científico y mucho más a "tirarse pedos por ahí... en la oscuridad". En esta charla ingeniosa, Firestein llega al corazón de la ciencia como realmente se practica y sugiere que debemos valorar lo que no sabemos —o "la ignorancia de alta calidad"— tanto como lo que sabemos.

What does real scientific work look like? As neuroscientist Stuart Firestein jokes: It looks a lot less like the scientific method and a lot more like "farting around ... in the dark." In this witty talk, Firestein gets to the heart of science as it is really practiced and suggests that we should value what we don't know -- or "high-quality ignorance" -- just as much as what we know.

Hosts: Vincent Racaniello and Stuart Firestein Vincent and Stuart discuss why ignorance - all of what we don't know, and even what we don't know we don't know - is the driving force of science.

Host: Indre Viskontas The idea that science moves forward by carefully peeling back layers of the onion of truth, one by one, in a deliberate fashion, is so prevalent that it borders on cliche. But the truth is that running scientific experiments often feels more akin to dipping a cup into a bottomless well of information: each new study simply raises more questions than it answers. Although scientific knowledge is vast, ignorance, or what's left to learn, dwarfs what we think we know. Exploring this boundless frontier, neurobiologist Stuart Firestein explains how ignorance, rather than facts, drives science. Stuart Firestein is the Chair of Columbia University's Department of Biological Sciences where he studies the vertebrate olfactory system, possibly the best chemical detector on the face of the planet. Dedicated to promoting the accessibility of science to a public audience Firestein serves as an advisor for the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation's program for the Public Understanding of Science. His popular course at Columbia University served as the basis of his new book Ignorance: How it Drives Science published by Oxford University Press.
