Diabetes Dialogue: Therapeutics, Technology, & Real-World Perspectives
Video Version Only on HCPLive! In this episode of Diabetes Dialogue, hosts Diana Isaacs, PharmD, an endocrine clinical pharmacist, director of Education and Training in Diabetes Technology, and co-director of Endocrine Disorders in Pregnancy at the Cleveland Clinic, and Natalie Bellini, DNP, program director of Diabetes Technology at University Hospitals Diabetes and Metabolic Care Center, sit down with Steven Russell, MD, PhD, Chief Medical Officer at Beta Bionics, to discuss the latest real-world outcomes from the iLet Bionic Pancreas—an autonomous insulin delivery (AID) system cleared by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2023. Russell outlines the iLet's fully automated design, which sets it apart from conventional AID systems by requiring no manual settings, carb ratios, or correction factors. The system determines 100% of insulin dosing, adapting continuously to glycemic trends without relying on user engagement. This autonomy makes the iLet particularly effective for individuals with suboptimal diabetes self-management or limited access to endocrinology care. New real-world data, covering 3,300 users from the first year of commercial rollout, reveal a mean baseline A1c of 8.5%—higher than the 7.8% in the pivotal trial and reflective of the broader U.S. type 1 diabetes (T1D) population. The iLet reduced glucose management indicator to 7.3%, yielding an average A1c reduction of 1.2%, more than double that seen in the pivotal study. Outcomes were most pronounced among those with severe hyperglycemia: users starting with A1c >14% saw average reductions of 7%, with low rates of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and minimal increases in hypoglycemia (median time
Gehört der Wolf zu Deutschland? Ja, meint Dr. Wolfgang Epple und begründet es ausführlich. Er greift dabei zurück auf seine eigenen Erfahrungen im Umgang mit Wölfen, Schafen, Hühnern, Bibern und Greifvögeln und auf seine Vorbilder Konrad Lorenz und insbesondere Hans Jonas. Epple spricht sich vehement gegen die Tötung „unschuldiger Wildtiere“ aus, schließlich wurden Tiere – im Unterschied zum Menschen – nicht aus dem Paradies vertrieben. Deshalb stellt er sich gegen eine Politik, wie sie von Söder und Aiwanger vertreten wird, spricht von „Ehrfurcht“ (zusammengesetzt aus „Ehre“ und „Furcht“) und erklärt, was GMI bedeutet, nämlich: grundlegende moralische Intuition. Auf die sollten wir hören.

And that trick my friends, is about the LYME LIE. And this LYME LIE is exactly what Dr Jack and I are breaking down today on our CHI Podcast at 10am PT / 1pm ET so join us live here. Why? Because everyone ‘has' Lyme in their body, however very few realize it and even fewer get tested for it, then beyond THAT, those who DO get tested, receive results that are inaccurate and/or incomplete due to poor lab testing + a big dose of WHITE COAT SYNDROME. So once you learn if you've been TRICKED then it's time to TREAT. There is a Toxic Truth around this stealth pathogen that yields a clue as to the possible near term consequences of what we have been sold as ‘the C0vid Veyerus' that made us sick. What if I told you that these are BUG BORN WEAPONS that you can have inside your body even if you have not been bitten by a tick because: “Lyme disease came about because of a bioweapons research program?” Which started 50+ years ago…and history is repeating itself! So join us as we share why LYME disease is exponentially on the rise and how our parasite cleanses play a vital role in managing and potentially overcoming this debilitating condition. WE WILL COVER What are GMI's? (and as always why should YOU care?) What Lyme & Covid have in Common (HINT: Covid was NOT the first BioWeapon) Symptoms of Lyme… What's ‘Long Covid' really? What if there's no such thing (and the root cause is being hidden from you) The history of Lyme & why it's a root cause factor for ALL of us (including Parasites) The Lyme / Parasite Connection Got (or had) Breast Implants? … Chances are you've been diagnosed with ‘Lyme' if you were tested for it (but was it accurate?) The myth of ‘I've never Been Bit By a Tick, so I couldn't possibly have Lyme' Want to join in on our Afterparty Tribe with SOLUTIONS from our weekly Podcasts?

I don't talk to many young people — so many of them wear headphones or earbuds and they look stressed out. I'm guessing the music they're listening to is narcissist pop about Me, Myself and I, my need for more Me time, my exorbitant rent, boring job, bad boss, crowded bike paths, long wait times at climbing walls, the fear of arterial plaque caused by foods containing GMI and DMU, and if I smile at them, they'll take me for a privileged white male and give me the middle finger.

Today we're taking a no BS look at the world of customer insights, leadership and business visioning with the President of software company Zappi, the ever-passionate and transparent leader, Ryan Barry.Having led Zappi for over four years, Ryan shares his no holds barred take on company leadership and people leadership, and it's all anchored on authenticity. Years ago, Ryan says, he was called out by his wife on having a ‘work voice' and realized he shouldn't be wearing 50 different masks depending on who he's speaking with. He says this new transparent approach to dealing with people and stakeholders alike makes his life easier, and ensures his leadership style is more human. Ryan is also committed to communication, or even over-communication, dropping casual and informal voice messages and videos as news evolves in his company regularly, to ensure no one has to second guess what is happening, and that business updates are intentional and impactful. To negate a possible consequence of this – dominance and over-assertion - Ryan says he leans into curiosity, asking questions openly on things he is not knowledgeable about and deferring to the experts. “Your job sometimes is just to listen,” he says.Jo and Ryan also discuss the future of the workplace, particularly as more remote, flexible and virtual working styles are implemented, and spontaneous moments to ‘break bread with people' in a physical office become fewer. Nearly 70% of Ryan's staff are on the other side of the planet to him. He's cognizant of the necessity to build and nurture relationships and believes that cannot be replaced by physically being in the same place together. Trust, collaboration and understanding are best built in real life, Ryan says, as are new ideas generated from sporadic and unplanned moments ‘bumping into' people. Whatever new technological automation and outsourcing the future holds for the workplace, this ability to connect, human to human, won't be replaced.Holding a personal brand of his own, supported by his podcast Inside Insights and newsletter Ryan's Rants, Ryan regularly shares reflections on the industry he operates in and where customer strategies go wrong. More and more companies are driven by two polarized objectives: short term earnings vs long term goals, awards and accolades vs ads that actually drive sales, political stances vs internal policies. Ryan highlights the importance of being frank with yourself on why business decisions are made, of taking input from your staff (whether you like what they say or not), of building principles that create consistency for future scenarios, and of ensuring your business actions match what you say. “People's bullshit meter is way up”, and Ryan says that's a good thing. >>>To look outside, Ryan goes outside to get lost in nature and mountains, usually with his dog. Getting out from the physical reality he's surrounded by allows him to tap into another level of ideas in his subconscious.>>>Ryan Barry oversees Zappi's global business operation leading the companies growth and impact internally and externally and serves as a member of the firm's executive leadership team. Prior to Zappi, Ryan worked for GMI, an online survey solution provider which was eventually acquired by Kantar and also started a dog care company which was sold in 2015 and a non profit aimed at raising money for less fortunate children.In addition to his work at Zappi, Ryan serves on Michigan State's advisory board for their MR program. Ryan lives outside of Boston with his wife, two sons, daughter and his two hound dogs and loves the great outdoors and Boston sports.Follow Ryan on LinkedInSubscribe to

In this episode of the Micro Binfie Podcast, hosts Dr. Andrew Page and Dr. Lee Katz delve into the fascinating world of hash databases and their application in cgMLST (core genome Multilocus Sequence Typing) for microbial bioinformatics. The discussion begins with the challenges faced by bioinformaticians due to siloed MLST databases across the globe, which hinder synchronization and effective genomic surveillance. To address these issues, the concept of using hash databases for allele identification is introduced. Hashing allows for the creation of unique identifiers for genetic sequences, enabling easier database synchronization without the need for extensive system support or resources. Dr. Katz explains the principle of hashing and its application in genomics, where even a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) can result in a different hash, making it a perfect solution for distinguishing alleles. Various hashing algorithms, such as MD5 and SHA-256, are discussed, along with their advantages and potential risks of hash collisions. Despite these risks, the use of more complex hashes has been shown to significantly reduce the probability of such collisions. The episode also explores practical aspects of implementing hash databases in bioinformatics software, highlighting the need for exact matching algorithms due to the nature of hashing. Existing tools like eToKi and upcoming software are mentioned as examples of applications that can utilize hash databases. Furthermore, the conversation touches on the concept of sequence types in cgMLST and the challenges associated with naming and standardizing them in a decentralized database system. Alternatives like allele codes are mentioned, which could potentially simplify the representation of sequence types. Finally, the potential for adopting this hashing approach within larger bioinformatics organizations like Phage or GMI is discussed, with an emphasis on the need for a standardized and community-supported framework to ensure the longevity and effectiveness of hash databases in microbial genomics. This episode provides a comprehensive overview of how hash databases can revolutionize microbial genomics by solving long-standing issues of database synchronization and allele identification, paving the way for more efficient and collaborative genomic surveillance worldwide.

Diya Wynn, Senior Practice Manager in Responsible AI for AWS Machine Learning Solutions Lab, joins Corey on Screaming in the Cloud to discuss her team's efforts to study and implement responsible practices when developing AI technology. Corey and Diya explore the ethical challenges of AI, and why it's so important to be looking ahead for potential issues before they arise. Diya explains why socially responsible AI is still a journey, and describes how her and her team at AWS are seeking to forge that path to help their customers implement the technology in a safe and ethical way. Diya also describes her approach to reducing human-caused bias in AI models. About DiyaDiya Wynn is the Senior Practice Manager in Responsible AI for AWS Machine Learning Solutions Lab.

This weekly show features conversations with people doing interesting work in the world of cloud, thoughtful commentary on the state of the technical world, and ridiculous titles for which Corey refuses to apologize. This is Screaming in the Cloud.Corey: Tailscale SSH is a new, and arguably better way to SSH. Once you've enabled Tailscale SSH on your server and user devices, Tailscale takes care of the rest. So you don't need to manage, rotate, or distribute new SSH keys every time someone on your team leaves. Pretty cool, right? Tailscale gives each device in your network a node key to connect to your VPN, and uses that same key for SSH authorization and encryption. So basically you're SSHing the same way that you're already managing your network.So what's the benefit? Well, built-in key rotation, the ability to manage permissions as code, connectivity between any two devices, and reduced latency. You can even ask users to re-authenticate SSH connections for that extra bit of security to keep the compliance folks happy. Try Tailscale now - it's free forever for personal use.Corey: Kentik provides Cloud and NetOps teams with complete visibility into hybrid and multi-cloud networks. Ensure an amazing customer experience, reduce cloud and network costs, and optimize performance at scale — from internet to data center to container to cloud. Learn how you can get control of complex cloud networks at www.kentik.com, and see why companies like Zoom, Twitch, New Relic, Box, Ebay, Viasat, GoDaddy, booking.com, and many, many more choose Kentik as their network observability platform. Corey: Welcome to Screaming in the Cloud, I'm Corey Quinn. In a refreshing change of pace, I have decided to emerge from my home office cave studio thing and go to re:Invent and interview people in person. This is something of a challenge for me because it is way easier in person to punch me in the face, so we'll see how it winds up playing out. My guest today is Diya Wynn, Senior Practice Manager at AWS. Diya, what is a practice manager at AWS? What do you do?Diya: So, a practice manager, I guess you can think of it just like a manager of a team. I have a practice that's specifically focused on Responsible AI. And I mean, practices are just like you could have won in financial services or anything. It's a department, essentially. But more important than the practice in the title is actually what I get a chance to do, and that's working with our customers directly that are using and leveraging our AI/ML services to build products.And we have an opportunity to help them think about how are they using that technology in ways to have improvements or benefit individuals in society, but minimize the risk and the unintended impact or harm. And that's something that we get to do with customers over any industry as well as globally. And my team and I have been enjoying the opportunity to be able to help them along their Responsible AI journey.Corey: So, the idea of Responsible AI is… I'm going to sound old and date myself when I say this, but it feels like it's such a strange concept for me, someone who came up doing systems administration work in physical data centers. The responsible use of a server back when I was hands-on hardware was, “Well, you don't want to hit your coworker with a server no matter how obnoxious they are.” And it was fairly straightforward. It was clear: yes or no. And now it seems that whenever we talk about AI in society, in popular culture, from a technologist's point of view, the answer is always a deeply nuanced shade of gray. Help.Diya: Nuanced shade of gray. That's interesting. It is a little bit more challenging. I think that it is, you know, in one sense because of the notion of all of the data that we get to leverage, and our machine-learning models are reliant on data that has variations coming from, you know, historical sort of elements, things that are here baked with bias, all of that has to be considered. And I think when we think about some of the challenges and even the ways in which AI is being used, it means that we have to be much more mindful of its context, right?And these systems are being used in ways that we probably didn't think about servers being used in the past, but also are in the midst of some high-stakes decisions, right? Whether or not I might be identified or misidentified and inappropriately arrested or if I get the appropriate service that I was thinking about or whether or not there are associations related to my gender or my sexual preference. All of that matters, and so it does become much more of a nuanced conversation. Also because depending on the jurisdiction you're in, the region, what makes sense and what matters might differ slightly. So, it's a multidisciplinary problem or challenge that we need to think about what is the legality of this?And we have to think about social science sometimes and there's an element of ethics. And all of that plays into what becomes responsible, what is the right way in which we use the technology, what are the implications of technology? And so yes, it is a little bit more gray, but there are things that I think we have at our disposal to help us be able to respond to and put in place so that we really are doing the right things with technology.Corey: I've known Amazon across the board to be customer-obsessed, and they tell us that constantly—and I do believe it; I talk to an awful lot of Amazonians—and so much of what the company does comes directly from customer requests. I have to ask, what were customers asking that led to the creation of your group? Because it seems odd to me that you would have someone coming to you and saying, “Well, we built a ‘Hot Dog/Not A Hot Dog' image recognition app,” and, “Oopsie. It turns out our app is incredibly biased against Canadians. How do we fix this?” Like, that does not seem like a realistic conversation. What were the customer concerns? How are they articulated?Diya: No, that's really good. And you're right. They weren't asking the question in that way, but over the last five years or so, I would say, there has been an increase in interest and as well as concern about how AI is being used and the potential risks or the areas of unintended impact. And with this sort of heightened sensitivity or concern, both with our executives as well as members of common society, right—they're starting to talk about that more—they started to ask questions. They're using surfaces we want to be responsible in building.Now, some customers were saying that. And so, they would ask, “What are other customers doing? What should we be aware of? How do we or are there tools that we can use to make sure that we're minimizing bias in our systems? Are there things that we can think about in the way of privacy?”And oftentimes privacy and security are one of those areas that might come up first. And those were the kinds of questions. We actually did a survey asking a number of our customer-facing resources to find out what were customers asking so that we could begin to respond with a product or service that would actually meet that need. And I think we've done a great job in being able to respond to that in providing them assistance. And I think the other thing that we paid attention to was not just the customer requests but also what we're seeing in the marketplace. Part of our job is not only to respond to the customer need but also sometimes to see the need that they're going to have ahead of them because of the way in which the industry is moving. And I think we did a pretty good job of being able to see that and then start to provide service and respond to assist them.Corey: Yeah, it's almost like a rule that I believe it was Scott Hanselman that I stole it from where the third time that you're asked the same question, write a blog post, then that way you can do a full deep—Diya: Did he really say write a post? [laugh].Corey: Treatment of it. Yes, he did. And the idea is, write a blog post—because his blog is phenomenal—and that way, you have a really in-depth authoritative answer to that question and you don't have to ad-lib it off the cuff every time someone asks you in the future. And it feels like that's sort of an expression of what you did. You started off as a customer-facing team where they were asking you the same questions again and again and at some point it's, okay, we can either spend the rest of our lives scaling this team ad infinitum and winding up just answering the phone all day, or we can build a service that directly addresses and answers the question.Diya: Absolutely, absolutely. I think that's the way in which we scale, right, and then we have some consistency and structure in order to be able to respond and meet a need. What we were able to do was—and I think this is sort of the beauty of being at AWS and Amazon; we have this opportunity to create narratives and to see a need, and be able to identify and respond to that. And that's something that everybody can do, not just resigned to a VP or someone that's an executive, we all can do that. And that was an opportunity that I had: seeing the need, getting information and data, and being able to respond and say, “We need to come up with something.”And so, one of our first pieces of work was to actually define a framework. How would we engage? What would be that repeatable process or structure for us, framework that we can leverage with our customers every time to help them think through, look around corners, understand where there's risk, be better informed, and make better-informed decisions about how they were using the technology or what ways they could minimize bias? And so, that framework for us was important. And then we have now tools and services as well that were underway, you know, on our product side, if you will, that are complementing—or that, you know, complement the work.So, not only here's a process, here's a framework and structure, but also here are tools that in technology you can bring to bear to help you automate, to help you understand performance, or even you know, help you minimize the bias and risk.Corey: What's interesting to me, in a very different part of the world than AI, I live in AWS costing because I decided, I don't know, I should just go and try and be miserable for the rest of my life and look at bills all day. But whenever I talk to clients, they asked the same question: what are other customers doing, as you alluded to a few minutes ago? And that feels like it's a universal question. I feel like every customer, no matter in what discipline or what area they're in, is firmly convinced that somewhere out there is this utopian, platonic ideal of the perfect company that has figured all of this stuff out and we're all constantly searching for them. Like, there's got to be someone who has solved this problem the right way.And in several cases, I've had to tell clients that you are actually one of the best in the world and furthest advanced at this particular thing. That customer, the closest we've got to them is you, so we should be asking you these questions. And for whatever it's worth, no one ever likes hearing that because, “Like, oh, we're doing something wild.” It's like—Diya: [crosstalk 00:10:15] pioneers.Corey: —“Well, we got to solve this ourselves? That's terrible.”Diya: Well, it's interesting you say that because it is a common question. I think customers have an expectation that because we are AWS, we've seen a lot. And I think that's true. There are tens of thousands of customers that are using our services, we have conversations with companies all across the world, so we do have some perspective of what other customers are doing and that's certainly something that we can bring to the table. But the other part of this is that this is really a new area. This is a sort of new space, that we're focused on trustworthy and Responsible AI, and there aren't a ton of customers that are doing this—or companies at all—that have it entirely answered, that have—you know, we're all on a journey.So, these are, I would say, early stages. And we do have the benefit of being large, having a lot of customers, having some experience in building services as well as helping our customers build products, having a team that's focused on looking at standards and working with standards bodies globally, having teams that are working on our understanding what we're doing in regulation and public policy. And so, all of that we bring to bear when we start talking about, you know, this with our customers. But we don't have all the answers; we're on a journey like them. And I think that's something that we have to be comfortable with, to some degree, that this is an evolving area and we're learning. And we're investing even in research to help us continue to move forward. But there's a lot that we know, that there's a lot that we can bring to the table, and we can help our customers in that regard.Corey: Now, this might very well be old news and well understood and my understanding is laughably naive when this gets released, but as of this recording, a few hours beforehand, you released something called Service Cards. And I have to say, my initial glance at this was honestly one of disappointment when I saw what it was because what I was hoping for, with—when you ever see ‘service' and ‘cards' together, is these are going to be printable cardboard, little cards that I can slip into the Monopoly board game I have at home and game night at home is going to be so traumatic for my kids afterwards. Like, “What's a Fargate?” Says the five-year-old, and there we go. “It means that daddy is not going to passing go, going directly to jail with you. Have fun,” it's great. But I don't think that's what it is.Diya: No, not at all. Not at all. So, it is very similar to the context that people might be familiar with around model cards, being able to give definition and understanding of a model that's being used. For us, we sort of took that concept at one step beyond that in that, you know, just providing a model card isn't sufficient necessarily, especially when there are multiple services or multiple models being used for any one of our services. But what our Service Cards allow us to do is to provide a better understanding of the intended use of the service, you know, and the model that's underpinning that, give context for the performance of that service, give guidelines for our customers to be able to understand how was it best used and how does it best perform.And that's a degree of transparency that we're providing under the hood, for our customers to really help them as well be much more responsible and how they're building on top of those. And it gives them clarity because there is a growing interest in the marketplace for our customers to hold their vendors—or companies to hold their vendors responsible, right, making sure that they're doing the right things and covering off, are we building well? Do we have, like, the customer or enough of demographic covered? What the performance looks like. And this is a really big opportunity for us to be transparent with our customers about how our services are being built and give them a little bit more of that guardrail that we were talking about—guidelines—how to best use it as they look to build upon those.Corey: Not in any way, shape, or form to besmirch the importance of a lot of the areas that you're covering on this, but on some level, I'm just envious in that it would be so nice to have that for every AWS service, of this is how it is—Diya: Uh-oh [laugh].Corey: —actually intended to be used. Because to me, I look at it and all I see is database, database, really expensive database, probably a database, and, like, none of those are designed to be databases. Like, “You lack imagination,” is my approach. And no, it just turns out I'm terrible at computers, but I'm also enthusiastic and those are terrible combinations. But I would love to see breakdowns around things like that as far as intended use, potential pitfalls, and increasingly as we start seeing more and more services get machine learning mixed in, for lack of a better term, increasingly we're going to start to see areas where the ethical implications absolutely are going to be creeping in. Which is a wild thing to say about, I don't know, a service that recommends how to right-size instances having ethical concerns. But it's not that unreasonable.Diya: Well, I can't make any promises about us having those kinds of instructions or guidelines for some of our other services, but we are certainly committed to being able to provide this transparency across our AI/ML services. And again, that's something I will say that's a journey. We've released a few today; there are others that are going to come. We're going to continue to iterate and evolve so that we can get through our services. And there's a lot of work behind that, right?It's not just that we wrote up this document, but it is providing transparency. But it also means that our teams are doing a great bit in terms of the diligence to be able to provide that feedback, to be able to test their models, understand their datasets, you know, provide information about the datasets in public—you know, for the public datasets that are being tested against, and also have the structure for them to train their models appropriately. So, there's a lot going into the development of those that may not be immediately transparent, but really is core to our commitment to how we're building our services now.Corey: It's a new area in many respects because, like, to be very direct. If I wind up misusing or being surprised by a bad implementation of something in most cases in AWS context, the disaster area looks a lot closer to I get a big bill. Which—and this [unintelligible 00:16:35] is going to sound bizarre, but here we are, it's only money. Money can be fixed. I can cry and sob to support and get that fixed.With things like machine learning and AI, the stakes are significantly higher because given some of the use cases and given some of the rapid emerging technology areas in which these things are being tested and deployed, it hurts people if it gets wrong. And an AWS bill is painful, but not in a damaging to populations level. Yet. I'm sure at some point, it becomes so large it becomes its own micro-economy, I guess the way those credits are now, but it's a very different way.Diya: Right. Absolutely. So, I think that's why our work from a responsibility perspective is important. But I think it's also valuable for customers to understand, we're taking a step forward and being able to help them. Very much like what we do with well-architected, right? We have a framework, we have best practices and guidance that is being provided so that our customers who are using our cloud services really know what's the best.This is very much like those Service Cards, right? Here's the best conditions in order to be able to use and get the greatest value out of your cloud investment. The same thing is what we're doing with this approach in helping our customers in the Responsible AI way. Here's the best, sort of, best practices, guidance, guardrails, tools that are going to help you make the most out of your investment in AI and minimize where there's this unintended or potential areas of potential harm that you were describing. And you're right, there are high stakes use cases, right, that we want to make sure or want to be able to help and equip our customers to think more about intentionally and be prepared to be able to hopefully have a governance structure, people aligned, processes, technology to really be able to minimize that, right? We want to reduce the blast radius.[midroll 00:18:37]Corey: One thing I want to call out as well is that as much as we love in tech to pretend that we have invented all of these things ourselves—like, we see it all the time; like, “No one really knows how to hire, there's no real scientific study on this.” “Yes, there are. There are multi-decade longitudinal studies at places like GM and whatnot.” And, “No, no, no tech is different. There's no way to know this. La la la.”And that's great. We have to invent these things ourselves. But bias has been a thing in business decisions, even ones that are not directly caused by humans, for a long time. An easy example is in many cases, credit ratings and decisions whether to grant credit or not. Like, they were not using machine learning in the 90s to do this, but strangely, depending upon a wide variety of factors that are not actually things that are under your control as a person, you are deemed to be a good credit risk versus a bad credit risk.And as a result, I think one of the best terms I heard in the early days when machine learning started getting big, was just referring to it as bias laundering. Well, we've had versions of that for a long time. Now, at least it seems like this shines a light on it if nothing else, and gives us an opportunity to address it.Diya: Absolutely. Oh, I'd love that, right? The opportunity to address it. So, one of the things that I often share with folks is we all have bias, right? And so, like you said we've had bias in a number of cases. Now, you know, in some cases, bias is understandable. We all have it. It is the thing that often—we talk about the sort of like mental shortcuts, things that we do that help us to respond rapidly in the world in the vast array of information that we're taking in all the time. So—Corey: You're an Amazonian. You yourself bias for action.Diya: Exactly. Right? So, we have bias. Now, the intent is that we want to be able to disrupt that so that we don't make decisions, oftentimes, that could be harmful, right? So, we have proclivities, desires, interest, right, that kind of folds into our bias, but there are other things, our background, where we went to school, you know, experiences that we had, information that we've been taking that also helped to drive towards some of those biases.So, that's one element, right, understanding that. A human bias gets infiltrated into our systems. And there was a study in AI now—I think it was 2019—that talked about that, right, that our systems are often biased by—or the bias is introduced, you know, sometimes by individuals. And part of the necessity for us to be able to eliminate that is understanding that we have bias, do things to interrupt it, and then also bringing in diversity, right? Because some of our biases are just that we don't have enough of the right perspectives in the room; we don't have enough of the right people involved, right?And so, being able to sort of widen the net, making sure that we're involving the outliers, I think are important to us being able to eliminate bias as well. And then there are tools that we can use. But then you also bring up something interesting here in terms of the data, right? And there's a part that education plays a good role in helping us understand the things like what you described our institutional biases baked into our data that also can come out in decisions that are now being made. And the more that we use AI in these ways, the more there is risk for that, right?So, that's why this effort in Responsible AI, understanding how we mitigate bias, understanding how we invite the right people in, the inclusion of the right perspectives, thinking about the outliers, thinking about whether or not this is the right problem for us to solve with AI is important, right, so that we can minimize those areas where bias is just another thing that we continue to propagate.Corey: So, a year or two ago, I wrote a blog post titled Machine Learning is a Marvelously Executed Scam. And it was talking about selling digital pickaxes into a data gold rush.Diya: I [crosstalk 00:22:30] remember this one [laugh].Corey: And it was a lot of fun. In fact, the Head of Analyst Relations at AWS for Machine Learning responded by sending me a Minecraft pickaxe made out of foam, which is now in my home office hung behind my office and I get a comment at least three times a week on that. It was absolutely genius as far as rebuttal go. And I've got to find some way to wind up responding to her in kind one of these days.But it felt like it was a solution in search of a problem. And I no longer hold so closely to that particular opinion, in no small part due to the fact that, as you're discussing, this area is fraught, it's under an awful lot of scrutiny, large companies who use these things and then those tools get it wrong are going to basically wind up being castigated for it. And yet, they are clearly realizing enough value from machine learning that it is worth the risk. And these are companies whose entire business, start to finish, is managing and mitigating risk. There is something there or suddenly everyone has taken leave of their senses. I don't quite buy that second option, so I'm guessing it's the first.Diya: So, the question is, is it worth the risk? And I would say, I think some people might or some companies might have started to step into that area thinking that it is, but it's not. And that's what we're saying and that's what we're hearing in the industry [unintelligible 00:23:51], that it's not worth the risk. And you're hearing from customers, outcries from others, government officials, right, all of them are saying, like, “It's not worth the risk and we have to pay attention to that.”But I think that there's certainly value and we're seeing that, right? We're solving previously unattainable problems with AI. We want to be able to continue to do that, but give people the means to be able to sort of minimize where there is risk and recognize that this is not a risk that's worth us taking. So, the potential for reputational harm and the damage that will do is real, right? When a company is called out for the fact that they've discriminated and they're unfairly evaluating homes, for instance, for people of color in certain communities, right, that's not something that's going to be tolerated or accepted.And so, you have people really calling those things out so that we start to—organizations do the right things and not think that risk is worth the [unintelligible 00:24:52]. It is very well worth the risk to use AI, but we've got to do it responsibly. There's so much value in what we are able to accomplish. So, we're seeing, you know, even with Covid, being able to advance, like, the technology around vaccinations and how that was done and accelerated with machine learning, or being able to respond to some of the needs that small businesses and others had, you know, during Covid, being able to continuate their service because we didn't have people in businesses or in offices, a lot of that was advanced during that time as a result of AI. We want to be able to see advances like that and companies be able to continue to innovate, and so we want to be able to do that without the risk, without the sort of impact that we're talking about, the negative impact. And I think that's why the work is so important.Corey: Do you believe that societally we're closer to striking the right balance?Diya: We're on our way. I think this is certainly a journey. There is a lot of attention on this in the right ways. And my hope—and certainly, that's why I'm in a role like this—that we can actually invite the right voices into the room. One of the things—and one of my colleagues said this earlier today, and I think it was a really, really great point, right—as we are seeing—first of all, we never thought that we would have, like, ethicists roles and sort of Responsible AI folks, and chief ethics officers. That was not something that existed in the context of, sort of, machine learning, and that's something that it's evolved in the last, you know, few years.But the other thing that we're seeing is that the folks that are sitting in those roles are increasingly diverse and are helping to drive the focus on the inclusion that we need and the value of making sure that those voices are there so that we can build in inclusive and responsible ways. And that's one of the things that I think is helping us get there, right? We're not entirely there, but I think that we're on a path. And the more that we can have conversations like this, the more that companies are starting to pay attention and take intentional action, right, to build ethically and to have the trust in the technology and the products that they build, and to do that in responsible ways, we'll get there.Corey: I really want to thank you for taking so much time to talk through what you're up to with me.Diya: I am super excited and glad that you were able to have me on.

If the ratio of tokens changes too much, the liquidity provider may end up with fewer assets than they originally provided, resulting in losses. Longs - In finance, a "long" position refers to the act of buying an asset in the hopes that it will increase in value over time, enabling the investor to sell it at a profit.Shorts - In finance, shorting refers to borrowing and selling an asset in the hopes of repurchasing it at a lower price to make a profit. It's essentially betting against the asset's price, with the goal of making money if the asset's price falls.Liquidity Pool - A liquidity pool is a collection of funds in a decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol that is locked in a smart contract. These funds are used to facilitate trading, and users can earn rewards for providing liquidity to the pool. Liquidity pools help to ensure that there is enough liquidity available to facilitate trades in DeFi protocols.Open Editions - Open Editions are NFTs that have an unlimited number of copies available for purchase. Unlike limited editions that have a fixed number of copies, open editions can be minted continuously. This means that anyone can purchase an open edition NFT at any time, and the number of copies in circulation can continue to increase indefinitely.Podcast Host: BunzyTwitter: https://twitter.com/0xBunzyBlockTalk || Pineapple WorkshopWebsite: https://pineappleworkshop.com/Twitter: https://twitter.com/poweredby_pwDiscord: https://discord.gg/geNCbMYsZY

Can Eating Peppers Help You Live Longer Tulane University September 28, 2022 People who have a taste for chili peppers and other hot spicy foods may live longer, research suggests. A new study of more than 500,000 Chinese adults over seven years finds that participants who ate foods flavored with chili peppers every day reduced their risk of premature dying by 14 percent, as compared to people who ate chili peppers less than once a week. “Even among those who consumed spicy foods less frequently [one to two days a week], the beneficial effects could be observed,” says Lu Qi, professor of epidemiology at Tulane University. “Indeed, moderate increase of spicy foods would benefit.” While his study, published in the BMJ, doesn't address other foods, earlier research has indicated that horseradish, black pepper, garlic, and ginger may offer similar benefits.”There also is preliminary data from other studies showing such potential,” Qi says. Capsaicin in chili peppers may be what protects health, Qi says. It reduces risk of obesity, offers antibacterial properties, and helps protect against diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and other conditions. Chili peppers also improve inflammation and reduce blood pressure and oxidative stress. Omega-3 may be helpful for attention, impulse control in adolescents University Pompeu Fabra (Spain), October 3 2022. Research findings reported in European Child & Adolescent Psychiatry revealed that higher blood levels of the omega-3 fatty acids docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) were respectively associated with better test scores for attention and impulsiveness among adolescent boys and girls compared with adolescents who had lower levels. “Polyunsaturated fatty acids are critical for brain development and function, and their deficiency may have long-term functional consequences” authors Ariadna Pinar-Marti and colleagues explained. “Despite the established importance of DHA in brain development, few studies have evaluated whether it plays a role in the attention performance of healthy adolescents,” commented study coordinator Jordi Júlvez, PhD. “In addition, the possible role of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), another omega-3 but of plant origin, has not been as extensively studied.” In comparison with adolescents whose DHA levels were among the lowest one-third of participants, those whose levels were among the top third showed better attention performance as indicated by scores for reaction time and conflict response. Higher ALA levels were associated with less impulsivity. “The role of ALA in attention control is still unclear, but this finding may be clinically relevant, as impulsivity is a feature of several psychiatric conditions, such as ADHD,” Dr Pinar-Martí noted. Weighted blankets found to increase melatonin Uppsala University (Sweden), October 3, 2022 A new study from Uppsala University shows that using a weighted blanket at bedtime increases melatonin in young adults. This hormone increases in response to darkness, and some evidence suggests that it promotes sleep. The findings are published in the Journal of Sleep Research. Previous research has shown that weighted blankets may ease insomnia in humans. Researchers from Uppsala University in Sweden experimented with 26 young men and women to examine if the bedtime use of a weighted blanket increases the production of sleep-promoting and anti-stress hormones like melatonin and oxytocin. In addition, they investigated whether the bedtime use of a weighted blanket (12% of participants' body weight) reduced the activity of stress systems in the body. To this end, saliva was collected repeatedly from participants while they were covered with either a weighted or a light blanket to measure melatonin, oxytocin, cortisol, and the activity of the fight and flight sympathetic nervous system. “Using a weighted blanket increased melatonin concentrations in saliva by about 30%. However, no differences in oxytocin, cortisol, and the activity of the sympathetic nervous system were observed between the weighted and light blanket conditions,” says Elisa Meth, first author and Ph.D. student at the Department of Pharmaceutical Biosciences at Uppsala University. “Our study may offer a mechanism explaining why weighted blankets may exert some therapeutic benefits, such as improved sleep. However, our findings rely on a small sample and investigated only the acute effects of a weighted blanket. Thus, larger trials are needed, including an investigation of whether the observed effects of a weighted blanket on melatonin are sustained over longer periods,” says senior author Christian Benedict, Associate Professor of Pharmacology at the Department of Pharmaceutical Biosciences at Uppsala University. Clinical Trial: Vegetable Extract may Treat Autism Better than Drugs Harvard Medical School, September 30, 2022 A recent clinical trial has shown that one vegetable extract may have astounding positive effects on those with autism – broccoli extract. Along with an extensive Autism Spectrum Disease research database at GMI, there is evidence suggesting that broccoli extract (along with avoiding heavy metals, minimizing glyphosate exposure, and eradicating the diet of gluten) shows promise in improving ASD. The active ingredient in broccoli that seems to help is called sulforaphane, a molecule found in cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage, and Brussels sprouts. A groundbreaking study published in The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA titled, “Sulforaphane treatment of autism spectrum disorder (ASD),” found that a broccoli sprout extract significantly improved the behavior of boys and men (those who most often suffer from autism). Sulforaphane was selected, in part, because its physiological effects are well characterized and ideal for those with ASD: “Dietary sulforaphane, of recognized low toxicity, was selected for its capacity to reverse abnormalities that have been associated with ASD, including oxidative stress and lower antioxidant capacity, depressed glutathione synthesis, reduced mitochondrial function and oxidative phosphorylation, increased lipid peroxidation, and neuroinflammmation.” The placebo-controlled, randomized pilot study of 44 males, ages 13-27, showed that after 18 weeks of treatment with a sulforaphane-rich broccoli sprout extract, 46% had noticeable improvements in social interactions and 42% has improvements in verbal communication. More than half of all participants also showed a decrease in irritability, hyperactivity, and repetitive movements. Of note, once treatment with broccoli extract stopped, most of the behaviors associated with autism returned. The dosing schedule was determined by body weight: · 100 lbs or less: one capsule containing 50 µmol (232 mg) of sulforaphane-rich broccoli extract was given daily · 101–199 lbs, 100 µmol (two capsules of 232 mg each) of sulforaphane-rich broccoli extract was given daily · More than 200 lbs: 150 µmol (three capsules of 232 mg each) of sulforaphane-rich broccoli extract was given daily Social media use linked to developing depression regardless of personality University of Arkansas, October 3, 2022 Researchers in public policy and education recently found that young adults who use more social media are significantly more likely to develop depression within six months, regardless of personality type. Published in the Journal of Affective Disorders Reports, the study, “Associations between social media use, personality structure, and development of depression,” was co-authored by Renae Merrill, a doctoral student in the Public Policy Program at the University of Arkansas. This new study found strong and linear associations of depression across all personality traits.” Among the study's findings was that people with high agreeableness were 49% less likely to become depressed than people with low agreeableness. Additionally, those with high neuroticism were twice as likely to develop depression than those with low neuroticism when using more than 300 minutes of social media per day. More importantly, for each personality trait, social media use was strongly associated with the development of depression. The sample of more than 1,000 U.S. adults between the ages of 18 to 30 was from data collected by Primack and his colleagues at the University of Pittsburgh. The authors suggest that problematic social comparison can enhance negative feelings of oneself and others, which could explain how risk of depression increases with increased social media use. Engaging primarily in negative content can also enhance these feelings. And lastly, engaging in more social media reduces opportunities for in-person interactions and activities outside of the home. “Findings from this study are important during a time of technology expansion and integration,” Merrill said. “Connecting to people virtually may increase the risk of miscommunication or misperception that leads to relationship difficulties and potential risk for developing mental health problems.” “People have innate emotional needs for social connection and understanding,” Merrill added. “For example, social media experiences can be improved by becoming more aware of our emotions and our connection with others in various life circumstances. This awareness helps improve relationship quality by simply reaching shared meaning and understanding through more effective communication and concern for others and ourselves. Despite our differences, we have the ability to create a culture of empathy and kindness.” Which grains you eat can impact your risk of getting heart disease earlier Isfahan University of Medical Sciences (Iran), October 3, 2022 In one of the first studies to examine the relationship between different types of grain intake and premature coronary artery disease in the Middle East, researchers found a higher intake of refined grain was associated with an increased risk of premature coronary artery disease in an Iranian population, while eating whole grains was associated with reduced risk. According to the researchers, previous epidemiological studies have reported an association between different types of grain intake with the risk of coronary artery disease. The current study evaluated the association between refined and whole grains consumption and risk of PCAD in an Iranian population. Premature coronary artery disease (PCAD) refers to atherosclerotic narrowing of coronary arteries in males under 55 years old or in females under 65 years old. It is often asymptomatic early in the course of the disease but may lead to chest pain (angina) and/or heart attack with progressive development of narrowing (stenosis) or plaque rupture of the arterial wall. Risk factors for PCAD include smoking, high cholesterol, high blood pressure and diabetes. Whole grains are defined as containing the entire grain, while refined grains have been milled—ground into flour or meal—to improve shelf life but they lose important nutrients in the process. The ACC/American Heart Association Guideline on the Primary Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease recommends a diet that emphasizes the intake of vegetables, fruits, legumes, whole grains and fish to decrease heart disease risk factors. The study recruited 2099 individuals with PCAD from hospitals with catheterization labs in different cities and ethnicities throughout Iran who underwent coronary angiography (women aged ≤ 70 and men ≤ 60). In total, 1,168 patients with normal coronary arteries were included in the control group, while 1,369 patients with CAD with obstruction equal or above 75% in at least a single coronary artery or ≥ 50% in the left main coronary artery made up the case group. After adjusting for confounders, a higher intake of refined grains was associated with an increased risk of PCAD, while whole grain intake was inversely related to reduced risk of PCAD.
How is "big CPG" different than emerging brands? Your initial response might be something like they are slower, less tech savy, and less innovative than the emerging brands.

Welcome to another exciting episode of the Data Gurus Podcast! Today, Sima is happy to have Tiama Hanson-Drury, the Chief Product Officer of Minna Technologies, joining her! For Tiama, a product is all about understanding customer pain and solving it in a way that works well for her business. In this episode, she talks about her journey and explains how she discovered her sweet spot and reached the point in her career where she is right now. She also dives into product development, monetizing a product, reducing uncertainty around a new product, and best practices. Tiama's journey After graduating from college, Tiama planned to spend two years in a small business and two years in a medium business, followed by two years in a large business. Then she planned to go back to college to get her Ph.D. After that, she wanted to become an executive coach and work with CEOs because she loves business. She spent two years working for a wine business and then moved on to a fast-growing tech company called Global Market Insight (GMI). She stayed there a lot longer than two years because she kept asking for promotion opportunities and getting them. That led her to her current career in product development. Making a move After working at GMI for six years, the company got acquired by WPP Kantar, and Tiama began to consider making a move. She wanted to make informed decisions based not only on what someone had said but also on what they had done, and she wanted to have all that data in one place. Building a product Then Tiama started working with the company's chief scientist, a data science team, and a marketing team, and they built a product. Monetizing a product More and more clients started asking for the product. Tiama realized that if something was built for multiple people with multiple perspectives, and it was built to be repeatable and scalable, it could be monetized. Because after the first sale, the gross margin on all the other sales is much better. Moving into the product space Tiama told the CCO and the company's new CMO that she was interested in the new discipline and asked if there was anything she could do in that line or else she might consider leaving to do it. So they gave her a chance to move into the product space. She started in product marketing because she had a degree in communications. Since then, she has constantly been moving from one product to another. Product For Tiama, a software product is about understanding customer pain and knowing that they, as a business, can solve it in a way that also works for the business. Invest now for a return later People in service businesses considering experimenting with a product line need to understand the reality of launching their new product. 95% of new products fail, so they have to be willing to invest now for a return in a year to eighteen months. Reducing uncertainty around the success of a new product Gaining insights, doing market and customer research, reading white papers that support trends around what you want to do, and knowing that you have realistic expectations and the DNA to do it, will help reduce uncertainty around launching a new product. Best practices As an industry, we need to look into adjacent areas to see what we can learn about building a product. Many product leaders within the industry know that. They also understand the practice of building a product for one persona at a time. Think about using best practices, and learn from those who have built products well. Three fundamental parts For Tiama, a product has three fundamental parts: Discovery Delivery Optimization Don't sell vaporware You have only one chance to make a first impression. That's why you should never over-promise or under-deliver. Bringing a client into the co-creation It takes a skilled navigator to bring a client into the co-creation of a product. Do it in the discovery stage.
