Over the last couple of years we've had multiple guests questioning the economic and moral value of a college education. But Daniel R. Porterfield, the Aspen Institute CEO and former President of Franklin and Marshall College, strongly disagrees. In his new book, MINDSET MATTERS, Porterfield argues that in our age of rapid technological change, the college experience is particularly valuable, especially to young people from less privileged backgrounds. At a time when it's become fashionable to bash American universities, Porterfield's argument is a timely reminder of the personal and civic value of a college degree.Daniel R. Porterfield is President and CEO of the Aspen Institute, a global nonprofit organization committed to realizing a free, just, and equitable society. He has been recognized as a visionary strategist, transformational leader, devoted educator, and passionate advocate for justice and opportunity. At the Aspen Institute, Porterfield has worked to build upon the organization's legacy of societal influence and commitment to human dignity while positioning it for a future where it can make its most profound and lasting impacts. In recent years, the Institute has launched new initiatives focused on criminal justice reform, science and society, economic inclusion, grassroots and community leadership, and more. In the Roaring Fork Valley of Colorado, where the Institute was founded and where it maintains its Aspen Meadows campus, it has broadened its partnerships with the local community through the Hurst Community Initiative and deepened its connection with its aesthetic and cultural heritage through the creation of a $20 million educational facility and creativity corridor celebrating the works of Bauhaus master Herbert Bayer, one of the founders of the Aspen Institute. To respond to one of the most urgent challenges of our time, the Institute created the Aspen Partnership for an Inclusive Economy (APIE) in 2019 with a founding partner, the Mastercard Center for Inclusive Growth, and a $26 million multi-year commitment from Mastercard. Through APIE, the Institute is bringing together its networks and programs with a diverse range of public, private, and nonprofit leaders to help reconstruct our global economy so that it drives greater security, opportunity, and resilience for all. Prior to leading the Aspen Institute, Porterfield served for seven years as the President of Franklin & Marshall College, a national liberal arts college founded by Benjamin Franklin in 1787. Under his leadership, Franklin & Marshall set records for applications, fundraising, and fellowships; developed cutting edge new centers for student wellness, career services, and faculty excellence; and constructed a new athletics stadium and visual arts center.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators. In addition to presenting KEEN ON, he is the host of the long-running How To Fix Democracy show.

Welcome back, TBL Nation! Anji and Anna are buzzing with excitement as they dive into the incredible journey of the winningest coach in Timberwolves history—Chris Finch. We kick things off with a trip down memory lane to Finch's early days. Born on November 6, 1969, in Cambridge, Ohio, Finch's basketball prowess was evident early on. A two-time All-American at Franklin & Marshall College, he left an indelible mark on the court. Despite the NCAA Division III championship loss in 1991, Finch's impact at F&M earned him a spot in the college's Hall of Fame in 2002. Post-college, Finch took his skills to England, playing professionally for the Sheffield Forgers/Sharks from 1993 to 1997. But Finchy wasn't just a player—he transitioned into a player-coach. His coaching career took off as he led the Sheffield Sharks to multiple titles, earning him the prestigious BBL Coach of the Year award in 1999. The journey didn't stop there. Finch ventured into coaching in Germany and Belgium, leaving a mark of success wherever he went. His arrival in the NBA's G-League with the Rio Grande Valley Vipers saw immediate triumph—a championship and the D-League Coach of the Year award. Fast forward to the NBA, where Finch's coaching acumen shone. From the Houston Rockets to the Denver Nuggets, New Orleans Pelicans, and eventually the Toronto Raptors, he left an impact at every stop. On February 22, 2021, Finch took the helm as the head coach of the Minnesota Timberwolves. In his first full season, he guided the team to a remarkable 46–36 finish and secured their first playoff berth since 2018. Finch's coaching brilliance didn't go unnoticed. He received well-deserved recognition in the 2021–22 NBA Coach of the Year voting. And on April 11, 2022, he inked a multi-year extension with the Timberwolves, solidifying his place in the team's storied history. Join Anji and Anna as they celebrate Chris Finch's journey, from player to the pinnacle of coaching success. It's a tale of passion, perseverance, and a deep love for the game.

This podcast features Ayesha Khan and Dr. Shehla Khan in conversation with Dr. Sher Ali Tareen, Associate Professor of Religious Studies, Department Chair of Religious Studies at Franklin Marshall College, and author of the widely acclaimed volume, Defending Muhammad in Modernity. Taking its cue from the political crisis that has erupted in Pakistan since the ouster of Prime Minister Imran Khan in April 2022, the episode traverses the various articles that Dr. Tareen published prior to and during Khan's tenure in government on the interface between what he terms ‘Imranophobia', secular liberalism, and Islamophobia. Although the episode is primarily focused on Pakistan, its themes are resonant with political struggles and faultlines in other states across Muslimstan.

Emily Miner: Okay, so let's jump right in. This report, a guide really, assessing corporate culture is the result of working group sessions of the ethics, culture and compliance network. Marsha, let me start with you. What is the ECCN, who are its members, and how did it come to be? Marsha Ershaghi Hames: Sure. Great. We're happy to continue to share the Ethics Culture Compliance Network progress. This network was founded in the summer of 2020. I mean, it was during the thick of a pandemic. Companies were spiraling. It was just a lot of crisis management and companies were starting to take a real reflective step back. They were assessing where do we need to look? How do we need to assess our planning for longer term future? And the conversation emerged initially, Emily, as a forum. It was a safe space to convene. Public company directors and senior executives, namely chief ethics and compliance officers, to really start exploring values, corporate culture and the role of ethical decision making in business. Emily, if I can highlight just a few key aspects that the stakeholders of ECCN started to really prioritize over the last two years, number one, the need for boards and executive teams to align and articulate culture so that management feels supported. Number two, to address the challenge of getting ethics and culture on board agendas and to really promote directors going deeper with management, we're going to get to shortly. Number three, ECCN stakeholders have continued to really want a forum to share peer to peer examples, pragmatic examples of the need for better communication and greater transparency between the CECO, the broader management team and the board. Emily Miner: Thanks, Marsha. Having sat in on some of these sessions, I know that those specific examples that you just alluded to, those were among some of the most powerful conversation prompts. So I think that the members got a lot of value out of that. I certainly know I did. And so this report builds on a report that we, Tapestry Networks and LRN, collaborated on last year, activating culture and ethics from the boardroom, which was a really insightful temperature check on board's attitudes about culture. Eric, can you talk about that project and how it led to this latest one? Eric Baldwin: Sure. With the last year's activating culture report, we had set out to understand the realities facing boards and their oversight of ethics and culture. What were their key concerns, the challenges they face, current practices. So to get at that, we interviewed 40 directors who occupied about 80 seats on public company boards with the aim of getting a really broad view of board oversight of ethics and culture. What we found was a pretty diverse range of practices across boards, in terms of what kinds of information they were receiving, their engagement with their management teams, including how often they heard from their chief ethics and compliance officer, a range of assignments of committee responsibilities and really it's just a variability and how much attention the issues get from boards. We also found a real lack of comfort among directors. So directors recognize the importance of culture and the risks associated with ethical lapses or with unhealthy cultures, but recognize that their ability to oversee culture doesn't have the level of clarity and rigor that you find in other aspects of board oversight, like say financial reporting. So there's a real gap between the seriousness of the risk associated with culture and the importance of culture on the one hand and director's sense of their ability, or lack of ability, frankly, to effectively oversee that set of issues. So given that, it seemed crucial to start to develop some board-level tools and practices that could help directors make their oversight of ethics and culture more robust. Emily Miner: Thanks, Eric. I know that this latest report traces its roots back to those earlier insights that you were just describing and the need for a practical framework that board members could adopt. Tell us why this framework and the specific needs it seeks to address. Marsha Ershaghi Hames: Yeah. So maybe I'll take that one. So to Eric's point, we have conversations with 40 directors in 2021 and coming out of it, it was the spirit of action. How can we now take action? So the consensus was, we want a simple, practical framework to start to advance a conversation, just get the conversation started. Think of it like a simple roadmap. How can we take this into the boardroom? How can we start to connect with management with simple prompts, questions. Help us organize our thoughts about how to activate and get the conversation started. Then, another goal was the input was we want to have a peer-reviewed framework. We don't want a treatise. We don't want a commission study by a third party. We want to be a part of driving the frame for what we think will have the greatest impact, both within board rooms and for the boards to explore directly with management. Emily Miner: You've talked a little bit about the approach to developing the framework, talking to the 40 directors and the peer-to-peer nature of it. What else about the approach of how the framework was developed, do you think contributes to the power of what it ultimately offers to boards and management teams? Eric Baldwin: Yeah, I can jump in here. As Marsha noted, we really wanted this to be as useful and practical for boards as possible so we thought it was really important that it'd be grounded in the experience of directors. We knew that there was a lot of good practice already going on in boardrooms. So if we could tap into that collective knowledge and pull that together, it could be really valuable. So the way we went about that was to recruit and convene a working group of about 12 to 15 members, 10 of whom were sitting public company directors. Several of those directors are current or former chief ethics and compliance officers so they've got deep experience in that space that they bring into the boardroom. We also included a couple of sitting senior ethics and compliance executives who report into boards on these matters on a regular basis to bring their perspective, as well as our colleagues from LRN, who brought their expertise in culture measurement. So, we brought the group together several times for virtual discussions, for peer exchange, to really surface the challenges and gaps that they're experiencing, to share and vet existing practices and tools and identify some key insights and good practices that are already going on. So out of that, our team developed a draft framework, which we shared then with a larger group of about 40 directors and ethics and compliance executives to pressure test our recommendations and get additional feedback before publishing the piece this summer. So I think what really gives it its power is that it's grounded in the experience of the boardroom, it's peer developed and peer vetted and rooted in the efforts of directors and practitioners. Emily Miner: Yeah. Thank you, Eric. And just to underline something that both you and Marsha shared, I think something that's so compelling about it in terms of being grounded in that experience is, as you mentioned, many of those directors are current or former chief ethics and compliance officers. So being able to hear from people that have worn both of those hats or are wearing both of those hats, I think is so powerful. So let's keep on talking about the framework. What are the key findings or pillars? I know that there are five pillars of the framework and I'd love for you to expand upon those five pillars for us. Eric Baldwin: Yeah. I'm happy to try to do that. There's a lot of insights there, so I'll try to be brief. As you mentioned, there are five key themes here, and we see them not so much as a series of steps, but more as sets of interlocking practices or that can mutually reinforce each other. So briefly, the first is really just to make ethics and culture a priority. We've heard from directors that culture and ethics often don't get enough time and attention in the boardroom. They get pushed to the bottom of crowded board agendas. So a key step is simply just to ensure that they get priority on the agenda, that they get enough time and attention. It's really crucial. We heard that boards communicate to management that culture and ethics are priorities, which they can do by pushing for information, asking questions, following up, probing. Management needs to know that ethics and culture are board priorities. The second is for boards to take a look at their own culture. Boards have their own internal cultures and the culture of the board influences the culture of the organizations. They sort of set the tone from the top. But directors tell us that boards don't often examine their own cultures in a rigorous way. So it's really important for boards as one member put it, to take a hard look at their own culture. In this, it's especially important for boards to assess their openness and transparency and the level of trust, both among the directors and between the board and the management team, and especially their willingness to hear difficult news and how the board responds to bad news or to hard truths. A key element we heard of ethical culture is trust and transparency and to foster an environment where bad news travels fast. That starts with the board and the board's willingness to hear bad news. The third is the challenge of being able to articulate the elements of culture and really to describe and articulate the culture you're aiming at, what you want to see in your corporate culture. The challenge here is that culture can be a very fuzzy and abstract concept. It's implicit, it's unspoken rules and norms, and that makes it really hard to measure and assess. So anything boards and management teams can do to make discussions of culture more concrete and precise will really help. This can mean breaking down ethical culture into various components, things like trust, willingness to speak out, fairness, organizational justice, so that boards and management teams have a clear answer to the question, "When we talk about culture, what exactly are we talking about?" A key insight here was the importance for boards to be active partners with their management teams in defining and articulating the attributes of a desired ethical culture, rather than just sort of hearing them from management. Contributors told us that the process of defining what a good culture looks like by fostering a robust and structured discussion of culture is as important as the outcome. So boards need to be involved in those discussions early, rather than just the management team coming to them and saying, "Here's what we think our culture should look like." The fourth is really about the tools that they use to measure and monitor culture. This is all about information and data and how it comes to the board. There's a pretty common range of data and information sources that boards depend on and there's plenty of data. But the key is for boards to get that information presented to them in the right way so that it has enough context that it can really make sense to them. So one key issue for boards we found is to push their management teams to report to them in such a way that insights from a range of data sources are integrated into a coherent picture or narrative. So survey data or data from culture surveys is overlaid with safety data, turnover data, and cost of hotline for example. Boards are really looking for a more integrated view from their management teams. Anything that will help generate a narrative or surface patterns that help boards know where they need to follow up and probe and potentially allocate more resources is really helpful. Then finally is the issue of establishing clear communication lines. There's a lot of information relevant to culture that comes from a lot of different functional areas bearing on ethics and culture. So boards need to push their management teams to be able to develop a holistic view and really ask the question who, if anyone, in the management team owns culture and owns reporting on it and can give a really coherent and holistic view of culture. The same goes for the board. At the board level, different committees on the board, get reporting from different management teams and information can become siloed. So the key question is how can boards overcome that tendency and make sure that the entire board is getting a full picture of culture. Emily Miner: Thanks, Eric, you did a great job of covering a lot of detail, very succinctly so I appreciate that. You framed a lot of those pillars in the form of a question: so how can boards do this, how can boards and management team collect the right data and interpret it together and break down those silos, et cetera, so I want to go into those hows a little bit because we call it a practical guide. So how does that manifest? How can this guide, I'll call it a guide and not a report, how can this guide help boards in their oversight of culture? Marsha Ershaghi Hames: Yeah, so Emily, maybe I'll jump in on that one. So to Eric's point as he went through these five key pillars and big insights or meta themes that jumped out, each pillar is supported with countless examples, practical scenarios, and we've even lifted up some direct quotes that came from all of the contributors. So part of this is practically speaking, we want to help agitate that curiosity from the directors. We want to encourage them, look behind the numbers, start asking some of those uncomfortable questions. We wanted to give them, when you talk about sort of manifesting, how do we give directors a simple roadmap or framework to go into, to start within their own boardrooms, and then to look at opportunities to connect and communicate with management, to build that bridge, to forge an ongoing dialogue. So this is not an overnight put your hero cape on. This is to start to create essentially more of that accountability partnership, a dialogue between management and the board and framing it in these five buckets. So it's, step one, are we even prioritizing this? So that can be a series of conversations. Step two, have we aligned as a board and management team? Have we been engaged as a part of articulating and assessing and understanding what is that desired culture? Are we as a board reflecting? So as Eric was going through these, it's you need to have a roadmap essentially to start agitating some of that dialogue. We wanted these pillars to become levers to begin that process to engage with management. Emily Miner: I love the way that you are framing this as agitating the dialogue. There's such a great mental, descriptive image. So thank you for that, Marsha. I know that one of the features of the report or the guide to help agitate that dialogue is a series of questions that can serve as a starting point for this dialogue with management teams and within boards. Can you share some of those compelling prompts? Eric Baldwin: Yeah, I'd be happy to give some examples. I think questions for boards are really a key tool in their tool belt. One of the things that boards are expected to do is offer a credible challenge to management, and it's really through asking questions that they do that. So we did include a number of questions, I think they're probably more than two dozen appended to the end of the report. I will not read anything like all of them at this point, but I'll give you a couple of examples of some of the questions that we include in the report. Again, many of them line up with some of the key buckets that we identified above. One would be just to ask yourselves as boards, have we identified the cultural attributes and behaviors that align with our stated values and our purpose? How can we effectively articulate the culture we're trying to achieve? This in turn would guide management's efforts to measure culture. Another question for the board to reflect on is, does our culture, that is the board's culture, encourage management to share those difficult truths with us? How open to debate and disagreement is our board? Then we also include some questions that boards can ask their management teams. One is to simply ask, to what extent can you provide the board with an integrated view that incorporates information from a range of sources of data into a single picture for us? How can you give us an integrated view of culture? Then another question for management is, are you able to communicate directly to the board when necessary? Do you feel you have the necessary independence to bring issues and questions to the board? So those are just a few examples of a number of questions that we've included in this report. Emily Miner: Thank you. I think that's another feature of the practicality of this. I mean, boards can in some sense sort of lift these questions up and apply them in their own contexts. So recently LRN's Ty Francis, our chief advisory officer had a conversation with Tom Fox, who I think we all know as the voice of compliance and founder of the Compliance Podcast Network. Tom called this report prescient more than once and cited both recent statements of Lisa Monaco, deputy attorney general, and rulings of the Delaware Supreme Court about the need for boards to take a more active role in monitoring and measurement. So with those statements, that context, occurring around the same time as the release of this guide, what do you see is the potential broader impact of the guide, the framework with the five pillars, the practical examples and discussion prompts? What do you see as the potential impact of that? Marsha Ershaghi Hames: So maybe I'll take the lead here and, Eric, if you want to share any other thoughts ... But if we take a step back, this came up in ... so we had a summit, Emily, that you, of course participated in, where we brought together all of the Ethics Culture Compliance Network contributors, not only of the report, but other key stakeholders. It was interesting, a few people pointed to this and they said that if you look at the foundations of corporate scandals over the last few decades, there's a pattern that points to the failure to speak up and a correlating fear of retaliation. So it's that notion of someone always knows what's going on. Right? So when you look at the statements of Lisa Monaco and the Delaware Supreme Court about boards taking a more active role, you have to take a step back and look at what is the role that boards can play to encourage and drive a culture that is more transparent and more open. How can a board activate open dialogue? How can a board establish a more transparent tone. We know, there's enough research around this, that culture's fundamental to business and tone at the top matters. I could even say, and Emily, you and I have collaborated, full disclosure, over years in my consulting days. I saw this. I can just draw anecdotally that in 22 years of consulting, I would come across so many compliance executives who just felt like, "Hey, is my company going to make the investment in my team, and are they going to prioritize culture?" CECOs, they're under a lot of pressure to operate as a resource, enforce policy, developed policy. They're regarded as the primary architects of culture, but oftentimes we're also labeled as a cost center. So some of this stuff has been coming out as you know, Emily and Eric, and our conversations around like, "Are we leading on this or are we in a reactive mode?" So I would say in terms the broader impact of this framework, it's the notion of how can we be proactive? How can we put a framework and a roadmap in front of the board to agitate the curiosity, to ask for more data behind the numbers and to empower boards and management teams to get the conversation started. To Eric's point, it's like, is it a toolbox? Is it a tool set? Well, yes, it is. It's been pressure tested by peers. It was developed by peers. They're trying it in their own boardrooms. Some of these stakeholders are current or former chief ethics and compliance officers so there's an appreciative inquiry of the tensions on both sides of the table. So in my opinion, I really forecast that this is going to have a catalyzing impact on the industry. Eric, I don't know, thoughts on your end too. Eric Baldwin: No, I would just say, I think one of our hopes here is that as directors bring this into the boardroom and, Emily, you're right to point out that it does seem like the expectations for boards in oversight in this area are going nowhere but up. It is our hope that this is a tool that helps them meet those heightened expectations. But also that it's only a starting point, that boards will use the tools in this framework to get the conversation started and come back to us with further recommendations of what would be additionally helpful to assist them in their oversight here. Emily Miner: Well, I, for one look forward to following along and participating and seeing what the impact is and how this framework is used and what the feedback is from those that use it. Marsha, Eric, it has been such a delight speaking with you today about the genesis of this report and all of the insights assembled from such a stellar working group. We're out of time for today.

We talk about the environmental impact of this technology and how investing in this technology is beneficial to your bottom line with tax savings as well as cash flow. Eric talks about different ways that this technology impacts us and our environment through carbon capture and sequestration which decreases greenhouse gas and enhanced oil recovery decreasing the number of oil wells that need to be drilled. Our government wants private investors to provide these services and provides significant tax benefits against W-2 income. Dr. Eric is an entrepreneur and investor. After earning a BA in Physics at Franklin & Marshall College and a DMD from the University of Pennsylvania, Eric established and grew a thriving multi-doctor, a multi-office dental business that has prospered for three decades. Eric sold his dental business and now focuses on sharing his skills, connections, knowledge, and opportunities with successful professionals.

Tweetable Quotes: “Before storage technology, the gas with the CO2 would come out of the ground. They would have to take all of that product to someplace to have it cleaned up so that then the gas could be used for what the gas was going to be used for." - Eric Shelly “By capturing and storing CO2, we're able to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels while maintaining a healthy environment. This is an important technology because we need to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels in a way that doesn't have a negative impact on the environment.” - Eric Shelly

He explains how he structured his company so he wouldn't have to manage people. He prefers to work with no org chart so there are no assigned titles or hierarchy.In this episode of What CEOs Talk About, host Martin Hunter and Neil Krauter Sr. discuss Neil's lengthy career and how he leveraged his experience in launching his own brokerage. Neil shares his thoughts on HR, on creating a forum for conversation within an organization, and how success requires both planning and full commitment.

On August 22 as we mark the second International Day Commemorating the Victims of Acts of Violence Based on Religion or Belief Sabrina Dent, Richard T. Foltin, Kristen Lavery, and The Rev. William H. Lamar IV shared their insights on religious freedom. Freedom of religion or belief (FoRB) is the protection of the conscience and the free exercise of people’s understanding of the ultimate truth. It is not only a fundamental right but also an individual, institutional, private and public right as well. As enshrined in the First Amendment, the Articles 18,19, and 20 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights also protect the rights to freedom of religion or belief, freedom of opinion and expression, the right to peaceful assembly and association. However, not every region is always a stronghold of allowing people to live by their core values and beliefs. The rate of ill-treatment against religious institutions, people, objects, or events is increasing significantly. On August 22, 2019, UN General Assembly recognized this by adopting a resolution declaring “International Day Commemorating the Victims of Acts of Violence Based on Religion or Belief”. Upholding these rights and responding to the alarming increase in persecutions of religious people and communities around the world, we believe within the scope of open, constructive, and respectful exchanges at various platforms across local, national, and international levels will be invaluable assets in confronting these ongoing acts of intolerance. To that end, Rumi Forum has invited distinguished speakers to address various dimensions of the topic. On August 20th, our moderator Sabrina Dent and speakers Richard T. Foltin, Kirsten Lavery, and Rev. William H. Lamar IV, will share their insights on highlight mechanisms to prevent unfair treatments towards individuals, communities, and minorities. Moderator: Sabrina Dent, Senior Faith Adviser, Americans United for Separation of Church and State Sabrina is a life-long advocate for human rights and social justice. Throughout her career, she has worked with vulnerable populations including women and children impacted by domestic violence and abuse, youth with mental health and behavioral challenges, and racial and religious minorities. However, she developed a passion as a religious freedom advocate in 2015 when she became a Fellow with the Baptist Joint Committee for Religious Freedom. Before joining the AU team, Sabrina worked as director of recruitment and admissions at the Religious Freedom Center of the Freedom Forum.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4Mi4qC44VU Host: Fraser Cain ( @fcain )Special Guests: Tonight we welcome Annie Dickson-Vandervelde, Emily Wilson. and Dr. Joel Kastner to the WSH. Annie led this team of Rochester Institute of Technology astronomers which used Gaia data to discover what may be a giant baby planet located closer to Earth than any other similarly aged planet so far. Since their paper was published in the Research Notes of the American Astronomical Society on February 7, 2020, their collaborators at other institutions received additional new data and now the situation surrounding their discovery is now confusing. Annie, Emily, and Joel will be providing insight into their research and what this new data may now indicate. Annie Dickson-Vandervelde ( @astranniemy ) is a fourth-year Ph.D. student in the Astrophysical Sciences and Technology program at RIT. She currently studies young stars and their protoplanetary disks. She is interested in the way that stars form and additionally the way that planets form around young stars. She did her undergraduate work at Francis Marion University in Florence, SC studying Computational Physics Emily Wilson ( @starstuffwilson ) is a Ph.D. student in RIT's Astrophysical Sciences and Technology program in Rochester, NY. Her research largely focuses on theoretical binary star evolution, though recent work has included observational stellar astrophysics studies on nearby young moving groups. In addition, she conducts research with colleagues at the National Technical Institute for the Deaf on signing with conceptual accuracy in physics classrooms. Her undergraduate degree in Astrophysics was completed at Franklin & Marshall College in Lancaster, PA. Dr. Joel Kastner ( jhkpci@rit.edu ) earned a BS in Physics at the University of Maryland (1981) and Masters and PhD degrees in Astronomy at the University of California Los Angeles in 1986. As a postdoc at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology he worked on a team developing the Chandra X-Ray Observatory. Joel's research interests include Star and planet formation; late stages of stellar evolution; X-ray, optical/IR, and radio imaging and spectroscopy; and image processing algorithms and systems. Joel joined the faculty at the Chester F. Carlson Center for Imaging Science at the Rochester Institute of Technology in 2005, and in 2013 he also joined RIT's School of Physics and Astronomy. He served as the Director of the Laboratory for Multiwavelength Astrophysics at RIT from 2010 through 2016. In 2020 he was named an American Astronomical Society Legacy Fellow.

Mitch Green joins host Steve Grumbine to talk about his work with Democratic Socialists of America in Portland, OR, and the role Modern Monetary Theory can play in DSA. As an eco-socialist, Mitch’s focus is on the climate crisis, and as an economist, he uses MMT to answer the ubiquitous question concerning solutions: “how will you pay for it?” Even when people are not open to accepting MMT, he finds it effective to simply ask them the price of continuing to live like this. The standard posture is to simply “tax the rich” but given the political climate, that probably won’t fly. So, what should we do? The clock is ticking. If we consider the costs of catastrophe, even standard cost-benefit analysis will tell us we must act and take what he refers to as a moon-shot approach, opening up the spigot of federal money creation. None of this is to say we shouldn’t tax the rich. But we need not rely on their money to implement the necessary policies. We can apply the levers of the state. People can be taught that the laws of economics are not immutable; they are social phenomena -- of human creation. Mitch sees the Green New Deal as something bigger and bolder than any list of traditional policy objectives. It is a bold statement that says we want to change every aspect of our society. It takes the threat of ecological collapse and uses it as a way to galvanize many interests into one organized body of action. The GND is an opportunity to change how, where, and for whom we produce things, irrespective of financial price tag. We’ll do it in such a way that protects and respects the people who are immediately affected by the transition. When Steve asks him about the challenges we face, Mitch talks about the need to get money out of politics. (Fans of this podcast may remember Scott Ferguson insisting that we only need to get private money out of politics and, in fact, should have an injection of public money into the process!) The truth is that most Americans don’t “do” democracy very well. We must have a theory of democracy that understands power. If we’re naïve about power in politics we’ll be frustrated by the inability to change. Mitch expresses optimism for the future. His experience working with DSA has shown that people have a proclivity for community and stewardship. Organizing with a rights-based framework is inspiring and powerful. We see that conservatives are animated by the fear of losing their rights, and while this is mainly concerned with their right to own guns, everyone wants the right to a dignified life. It is up to us to seize control of the narrative and tie it to the right to a job, a clean environment, health care and housing. This is where our power stems from. The discussion goes into the difference between micro and macroeconomics. They talk about Steve’s view of the job guarantee as a democracy enhancer. And they go into greater detail about the possibilities arising from the Green New Deal. Mitch Green is a Research Scholar at the Global Institute for Sustainable Prosperity. He has taught courses in political economy, economic statistics and applied microeconomics at Franklin & Marshall College and currently moonlights as an adjunct economics instructor at Portland Community College. https://www.salon.com/2019/09/02/this-economist-debunked-all-the-right-wing-talking-points-about-the-green-new-deal/

Conor Lamb spoke to his supporters just before 12:45 a.m. as absentee votes were still being counted.“It took longer than we thought, but we did it,” he said, even though results had not yet been released.kDKA TV The unofficial total for absentee ballots in Washington County, shows Democrat Conor Lamb with 609 votes and Republican Rick Saccone, 547. Democrats, meanwhile, may say that Mr. Lamb has shown that candidates can be competitive in districts won by Mr. Trump. Terry Madonna, a veteran pollster at Franklin & Marshall College, said, “Moving forward, that tells Democrats that in districts Trump won by 8, 10, 12 even 20 points not to nationalize the race.” Allegheny County Executive Rich Fitzgerald praised the candidate. "Conor is a great candidate and he ran a great campaign. ... I've never seen a campaign with so much grassroots enthusiasm."Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

When the Spirit and Opportunity rovers landed in 2004 they didn’t find any Tharks or H.G. Wellsian tentacled creatures with leathery skin, but they did find surprising evidence of water. Both rovers vastly exceeded their nominal missions and were joined on Mars by the larger Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity in 2012. In this episode, Senior Research Scientist and NASA Participating Scientist Bill Farrand from the Space Science Institute in Boulder, CO tells us how the rovers have helped to transform our view of the surface of Mars from a barren, dead volcanic planet to one that was once much like the Earth with flowing ground and surface waters and stunning scenic vistas. This presentation was given at Nerd Nite Denver in December 2015. Farrand is a senior research scientist at the Space Science Institute in Boulder, Colorado. He has a B.A. in Geology from Franklin & Marshall College and a M.S. and Ph.D. in the Geosciences from the University of Arizona. He has worked extensively in terrestrial remote sensing as well as in the remote sensing of Mars and of the Moon. In the terrestrial remote sensing field, Bill has worked extensively with data from airborne hyperspectral remote sensing systems for both commercial and government programs. Bill has been a Participating Scientist on NASA’s Mars Exploration Rover (MER) Mission since 2002. Bill has worked extensively with multispectral Pancam data from both the Spirit and Opportunity rovers looking at the multispectral reflectance of rocks viewed by the rovers at the Columbia Hills of Gusev crater and on the plains and craters of Meridiani Planum. He is also involved in several other projects examining terrestrial analogues of Martian surface materials, working with orbital remote sensing data of Mars, and examining the hyperspectral reflectance of dry and ephemeral lakes. In his free time, Bill is an avid rock climber and also enjoys skiing, hiking, taking his dogs on walks, and pursuing useless TV and movie trivia.
When Nestor Taffur walked off the mat in Oklahoma City after falling to Rutgers' Anthony Perrotti in the Round of 12, he walked off the mat as the very last competitive wrestler in the sport of wrestling for Boston University.The New Jersey native had proposed to his then-girlfriend earlier in the tournament, so it was a spectrum of emotion. As Taffur realized the program he'd given so much to was about to go away, he spent more and more time with his college coach, Carl Adams, and realized he wanted to be a coach.In Episode 107 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, the news is positive for Taffur, who recently joined the coaching staff at Franklin & Marshall College in Lancaster, Pennsylvania under head head coach Mike Rogers. It's Taffur's first coaching job and it's at a place he nearly found himself competing for coming out of high school.Taffur talks about his excitement and anticipation to help the Diplomat wrestling program, which recently received a $5 million dollar endowment, preserving the wrestling program at the tiny private Liberal Arts school that's Division III in every other sport (save squash).Taffur also goes into detail on his feelings about the Boston University administration and how it stripped him and his teammate of having a school they could go back to, cheer on and potentially even donate. It's a retrospective about the past and a prospective of the future, chock full of candid responses and sound-off moments.

Host: Robert Price D.M. Murdock, who also goes by the pen name "Acharya S.," is the author of The Christ Conspiracy, the most controversial of modern treatments of the Christ Myth theory. She has had to field flack from both apologists and atheists. An independent scholar of comparative religion and mythology, Murdock was educated in Classics and Greek Civilization, at Franklin & Marshall College and the American School of Classical Studies at Athens, Greece. She has traveled extensively around Greece, participating in the archaeological excavation at Corinth, in addition, probably, to eating loads of squid. Her other books include Suns of God, Who Was Jesus? and Christ in Egypt. Her articles and books can be found at her websites TruthBeKnown.com, StellarHousePublishing.com and FreethoughtNation.com. Point of Inquiry is happy to feature an interview with Acharya by fellow Jesus Mythicist Robert M. Price (assuming, of course, that both of them exist!).
