The 2025 International Congress of Basic Science is now underway in Beijing. The event draws over a thousand scholars from China and abroad, including Nobel Laureates, Fields Medalists, and Turing award winners. But in a world increasingly driven by fast results and commercial returns, why does basic science still matter? What happens when artificial intelligence begins solving problems that once took humans years or even decades? And can science still be a shared human endeavor in an era of rising geopolitical tension?Host Zhao Ying is joined by Zhang Fan, Associate Professor of Astronomy Department of Beijing Normal University; Quentin Parker, Director of Laboratory for Space Research, University of Hong Kong; Andy Mok, Tech Analyst and Senior Research Fellow at the Center for China and Globalization

In the shadowlands of human intimacy, we often mistake connection for communion, trauma for truth, and reactivity for resonance. Beneath the curated choreography of modern relationships—romantic, familial, platonic—lurks a disowned force field of unmetabolized emotion, ancestral patterning, and inner exiles clamoring for resolution.

We examine whether culture has actually become decentralized or if we just live in isolated "slivers" while still being shaped by the same underlying systems. Starting with observations about feeling "out of touch" we explore how everyone now consumes completely different content yet we can still connect meaningfully with friends over shared experiences. This raises questions about what really drives human connection and whether platforms like YouTube and social media create genuine cultural diversity or just the appearance of choice.The conversation shifts to fundamental tensions in how we structure our lives - particularly the conflict between work demands and what actually matters. We discuss the absurdity of modern situations where parents have to pay strangers to watch their children so they can focus on work, whether for survival or self-expression. This connects to the loss of extended family and community support systems that historically made work and family life compatible. We question whether our current approach to work, culture, and family serves human needs or just perpetuates systems that benefit markets rather than people. -Ai If you enjoyed this episode, please consider giving us a rating and/or a review.

Are your vendor spreadsheets quietly killing your profits and sanity? Fragmented sourcing isn't just an inconvenience; it drains time, eats into margins, and creates chaos you can't afford. Host Darla Powell talks with Lee Anne Blake, CEO of The Expert, about why many designers are frustrated with juggling numerous vendors and outdated processes. They discuss how client expectations have changed, with buyers wanting smoother, faster, more transparent experiences, and what it really takes to keep up without losing your personal touch or design integrity. You'll hear about the real challenges designers face when trying to manage a thousand-row spreadsheet of suppliers, the benefits of consolidating orders without sacrificing variety, and how emerging generations of designers are rejecting slow, clunky systems in favor of something easier. It's an honest look at the tradeoffs of stocking-dealer pricing, the risks of vendor instability, and what access to new brands can do for your creative vision and business growth. You'll learn: ✅ Why multi-vendor chaos is hurting your margins and your time. ✅ How shifting client expectations demands a more seamless buying experience. ✅ Ways designers can gain leverage with trade programs and consolidated checkout. ✅ What the future holds for sourcing, from better vendor access to stronger client trust.

Today's episode will focus on the challenges of the cyber landscape in the United States, as Steve sits down with Yolanda Williams, who is the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency's cyber security coordinator in the state of Florida. Steve and Yolanda dive deep into her work communicating cyber in a region where it for many isn't top-of-mind and how state sovereignty and lack of standardisation between local stakeholders poses unique challenges. We hope that Yolanda's many examples of successfully working with Floridians and stakeholders across the state will resonate with listeners across the US—and perhaps across the pond, too. Key Takeaways: Cyber leaders must possess the ability to shape their communication based on what the audience is looking for. Organisations are much more open to cyber advice today than they were five years ago.  Look at the language in your contracts! Mistakes can prove costly from both a financial perspective and a cyber perspective. Tune in to hear more about: How cyber connects to physical security (3:25) The challenges of a lack of standardised guidelines or federal regulation (10:23) The importance of keeping local backups and not only use the cloud (18:24) Standout Quotes: “I hear a lot of people say, ‘dumb it down.' But you don't want to dumb it down. You just want to make sure that you're tailoring it specifically. You may have technical folks who are looking for, okay, what was the ransomware? Who did it? Who deployed it? How was it deployed? What was the payload? All those types of things. And they want to get into the deep dive of it. A lot of individuals don't. I'll speak to healthcare individuals and they're more looking at ‘I'm not a target. I'm a small doctor's office. I'm not a target.' And one of the things we try to get across to everyone is: you are definitely a target. If you have a US IP address, you are a target.” - Yolanda Williams “There are federal guidelines for federal agencies. However, we respect our states and their sovereignty, and one of the things I found in Florida definitely was a lack of collaboration. Even from the city to the county, there's nothing structured across the board.” - Yolanda Williams “One of the steps that I recommend across the board for anyone that I'm talking to is looking at the language in your contracts, making sure that language is covering, not just what you're purchasing.[…] So making sure that you're looking at that contract language and have somebody that's looking at it that understands the lexicon, understands what is required. You can't just hire somebody off the street and say, ‘Oh yeah, write this contract,' and they don't know what should be in the contract.” - Yolanda Williams Read the transcript of this episode Subscribe to the ISF Podcast wherever you listen to podcasts Connect with us on LinkedIn and Twitter From the Information Security Forum, the leading authority on cyber, information security, and risk management.

In an increasingly noisy world, how can ag speak with a unified, consistent voice?The changing dynamics of agricultural advocacy in Australia has caught our attention, and we're keen to explore whether industry representation is still 'fit for purpose' in a rapidly shifting political and social landscape. With around 270 farm advocacy bodies in Australia with a combined annual spend of $400-600 million, there's no shortage of voices sticking up for ag.  But how effective are they in delivering genuine policy solutions to Government?To open up this conversation, Oli is joined by Katie McRobert, Executive Director at the Australian Farm Institute, and Tyson Cattle, a rural journalist-turned-Nuffield Scholar, currently exploring how ag advocacy is done around the world and what Australia could be doing better.TakeawaysAdvocacy in agriculture is fragmented and there's a disconnect between what's being said and what's being heardEffective advocacy requires a clear purpose, two-way conversations and cultivating long-term relationships to drive policy changeFinding common ground with decision-makers is essential for achieving policy outcomesRespect and credibility is often overlooked in advocacy structuresFarmers are good as telling stories, but ag needs to get better at sharing storiesCurrent advocacy structures in Australia are often conservative and 'locked in' to a traditional structure, but new approaches such as social media influencers are having an impact Leadership in advocacy often requires taking unpopular stancesLinksLearn more about Tyson's Nuffield topic, and LinkedInKatie McRobert LinkedInYou can hear more episodes of Humans of Agriculture here.If you enjoyed this episode, share with a friend and let us know your thoughts at hello@humansofagriculture.com.  Don't forget to rate, subscribe, and leave a review!

“We have overprotected kids in the real world and underprotected them online.” Jonathan Haidt believes we have bubble-wrapped childhood: cut back on recess, banned kids from walking to school alone, and filled every spare moment with structured, adult-led activities. But at the same time, we gave kids 24/7 access to social media, smartphones, and one-to-one devices—with very little guidance or boundaries. And now, we're seeing the results. Rising anxiety. Fragmented attention. Lost confidence. Social disconnection. This quote about overprotecting in the real world and underprotecting onloine hit me hard, because it puts into words what so many teachers have felt for years but couldn't always articulate. If our kids seem less resilient, less focused, less ready to learn... maybe it's not them. Maybe it's the environment we've created. The good news? We can change that. We ARE changing it. More schools are rethinking tech. More parents are drawing tech boundaries. More teachers are advocating for what kids truly need. We can bring balance back. Today's guest is Jonathan Haidt—a social psychologist, professor at NYU's Stern School of Business, and author of several influential books, including most recently, The Anxious Generation. You may have seen Jonathan in recent interviews talking about how smartphones and social media are impacting kids' mental health. But I wanted to bring him on the show to go deeper—specifically from an educator's point of view. This conversation builds on some of the past episodes I've done around screen time, attention spans, and how tech is changing the way kids show up in the classroom. It's a true back-and-forth conversation where we learn from each other, and I think it's going to validate so much of what you've already sensed as a teacher.  Get the shareable article/transcript for this episode here. Later this summer, I'll share a different perspective from someone who sees personalized AI tutoring as the future of school, and I have to admit, I find that vision just as compelling as what Haidt has shared. Stay tuned!

We're almost at the halfway point of Prime Minister Mitsotakis' second term. Despite a few political storms over the past years, New Democracy, the prime minister's party, is riding out a wave of dissatisfaction among voters, holding steady at about 30 percent. At the same time, a rudderless and divided opposition can't seem to translate this into votes. Nektaria Stamouli, the deputy editor in chief of Kathimerini's English Edition and Politico's Eastern Mediterranean correspondent, joins Thanos Davelis as we take a deeper dive into Greece's current political landscape, from the ruling party to the fragmented opposition. You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Greeks feel they have no one to vote forTsipras slams government, calls for progressive unityAthens agrees to send APCs to LebanonGreek court strips three far-right MPs of seats over electoral fraud

In this installment of our Female Psychopath Series, we dive into Robert Altman's 1972 psychological thriller Images, exploring the unraveling psyche of protagonist Cathryn. Is she experiencing a full psychotic break or something more nuanced? We offer a clinical lens on her symptoms and propose a specific psychological diagnosis, while also reacting to the film's surreal tone, eerie visuals, and narrative ambiguity.Blending psychological insight with our usual conversational flair, we untangle Altman's portrayal of dissociation, identity confusion, and trauma-induced hallucinations. We also offer up our personal reactions, theories, and questions about what's real vs. imagined, and why Images deserves a spot in any horror-psychology lover's watchlist.Listen now to explore the disturbing beauty of Images through a psychological lens!Follow Us:

It would be funny if it wasn't so tragic. According to the Pulitzer finalist Matthew Hongoltz-Hetling, the majority of Americans no longer trust standard scientific proof. As he notes in his new book, The Ghost Labs, this faith in evidence based science has been replaced by the growth of bigfoot hunters, mediums, and alien enthusiasts. Hongoltz-Hetling traces this trend from his previous work on libertarian movements and alternative medicine, noting how the pandemic accelerated distrust in traditional institutions. He argues these paranormal beliefs, while seemingly harmless, fragment communities and undermine collective problem-solving. So how to fix this crisis in scientific trust? Hongoltz-Hetling's suggestion of licensing psychics and incorporating these beliefs into clinical settings to prevent further institutional erosion might sound a little absurd. But perhaps it's one concrete way of addressing social cohesion in our bizarre age of bigfoot hunters, mediums, and alien enthusiasts.* Crisis of institutional trust: Americans are increasingly rejecting science, government, universities, and even churches, turning instead to individualistic paranormal beliefs as alternatives to evidence-based institutions.* COVID as a catalyst: The pandemic accelerated existing distrust, with libertarian "medical freedom" messaging providing a bridge between fringe beliefs and mainstream Republican politics, leading to figures like RFK Jr. gaining power.* Fragmented vs. collective belief: Unlike organized religion which builds community through shared doctrine, paranormal beliefs are highly individualistic and based on personal experience, ultimately driving people apart rather than together.* Real-world consequences: This isn't just harmless entertainment—it leads to defunding of universities, people avoiding medical care, and the weakening of institutions that society depends on for collective problem-solving.* Controversial solution: Hongoltz-Hetling reluctantly suggests licensing psychics and incorporating paranormal beliefs into clinical settings as a pragmatic strategy to prevent complete institutional collapse, though he acknowledges this feels like "capitulation to dark forces."Matthew Hongoltz-Hetling is a freelance journalist specializing in narrative features and investigative reporting. He has been named a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, won a George Polk Award, and been voted Journalist of the Year by the Maine Press association, among numerous other honors. His work has appeared in Foreign Policy, USA Today, Popular Science, Atavist Magazine, Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting, the Associated Press, and elsewhere.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.
