Read the full transcript here. What are the world's leading AI companies actually trying to build when they talk about superintelligence? Is the goal merely better chatbots, or systems that could outperform all humans across every cognitive task? Why would such a system be so alluring if it could accelerate medicine, science, education, abundance, and human flourishing? Why would it also create an unprecedented concentration of power for whoever controlled it? If intelligence includes not only abstract reasoning but persuasion, strategy, manipulation, planning, and technological invention, what happens when those capacities are automated at superhuman scale? How seriously should we take AI CEOs when they say the technology could go catastrophically wrong, and how should we interpret the tension between their public concern and their continued participation in the race? If we cannot reliably inspect their goals, motives, reasoning, or learned objectives, how could we know whether apparent obedience is real safety or just surface behavior? Even if alignment were solved, who should be trusted to steer a superintelligence? Could compute governance, chip tracking, training thresholds, inspections, and a US-China agreement buy time before the frontier moves further? What do nuclear weapons, nuclear power, chemical weapons, and germline engineering teach us about the possibility and limits of technological restraint? Is resignation itself part of the danger, and could a credible movement for coordination make a saner future more possible? averages? And when injustice affects both men and women differently, what framework avoids turning that into a zero-sum argument? Links: MIRI Malo Bourgon leads the Machine Intelligence Research Institute.

On Friday, Guelph Politico received a video of someone accessing the website "michellebowman.ca". Michelle Bowman is a candidate running in Ward 2 in this fall's municipal election, so one would think that if you typed in her name with the domain extension ".ca" that it would lead to her website. It doesn't. Barely three weeks into this election, do we already need to have a conservation about the rules and ethics of running for local office? A second source on the weekend then provided Politico with a link to a website set up by someone who was declaring themselves as a council candidate, although they had not yet filed their nominations papers. Concerning here was the inclusion of a donate button when the election rules state that you cannot collect donations, or spend donations on campaigning, until you're a registered candidate in the mayor, council, or school board trustee elections.  So how concerned should we be about these recent develops? Is there already election skullduggery afoot less than a month into this municipal election? That's tough to say. In so much as people are invested in knowing who wants to form the next city council and what they intend to do with that position, people are also invested in making sure they do it the proper way. Should we be guarded for more people testing the system over the next couple of months? To learn more about where the lines are this election, we will seek out the advice of Dylan McMahon, Guelph's city clerk and essentially the chief electoral officer for municipal elections. We turn to him with these two situations that arose over the weekend: Is it improper for someone else to own the domain of a candidate, can you raise money and campaign before you are officially a candidate, and what can you do if you have a cause for concern in the way some candidates are running? So let's talk about election concerns on this week's Guelph Politicast!  If you have questions or concerns about the election or the election rules, you can go to the City of Guelph's website or can call the clerk's office at 519-837-5625 or send an email to guelphvotes@guelph.ca. If you want to learn more about available domain names, or learn what legal recourse you have if someone's using your name as a domain name, you can go to the Canadian Internet Registration Authority website. In one last note, Guelph Politico reached out to Thai Mac, the owner of Caught in Guelph, to get comment about whether or not he owns the domain "michellebowman.ca", but he did not respond before press time.

Everywhere you turn, there's a distraction, and the evidence suggests we're all reading fewer books. Some have described it as a "crisis". We speak to one young Canadian who's turning that around, BookTok and podcast host, Morgann Book. We'll also speak with Gregor Campbell, a long-time English professor at the University of Guelph on what he has observed in the classroom, and Jonathan Jarry, a science communicator with McGill University's Office for Society and Science who puts the "reading crisis" in perspective.

This week on Open Sources Guelph, things get heavy. We've got back-to-back interviews today with two different guests, both of who are going to get into topics around sexual violence and need to do more for survivors. First, we will talk to an advocate who wants to give survivors more options to get justice for themselves aside from the court system, and then we will talk to a provincial politician trying to improve the criminal justice system we have now. This Thursday, May 14, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: Listener discretion is advised: Today's show contains conversations about sexual violence and the effects of sexual violence. When the Justice System Isn't Enough. Recent high profile sex assault trials involving Hockey Canada players, Jeffrey Sloka, and Frank Stonach have shown that justice is still hard to obtain for survivors using the system as its presently built. To help us mark Sexual Violence Prevention Month, we will be joined by Lola Graham from the Ontario chapter of Survivors 4 Justice Reform about why survivors should have the option to seek restorative justice and not just the court kind. The CONestoga Game(?). Last week, the Ontario government announced that they were putting an administrator in charge of Conestoga College due financial mismanagement, and one of the people caught off-guard by the move was Catherine Fife, who's the MPP of Waterloo. Fife will join us again to talk about the fallout from Conestoga, the impact on students, and her legislative quest to get justice in the legislature for survivors of sexual assault. Open Sources is live on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca at 5 pm on Thursday.

Ontario agronomist Henry Prinzen thought he had his future mapped out early: go to the University of Guelph, return to the family farm, and build a career there. Instead, he found himself following a different path — one shaped as much by instinct and opportunity as by planning. In this episode of the How Could... Read More

Is there a bigger political lightning rod when it comes to the City of Guelph budget than the police budget? For some people, we spend too much on the police and at the expense of expanded funding for social services, and for others we don't spend nearly enough on the police. As we look to the next term at city hall, what challenges around policing will be presented to the new council? In their 2024-2027 Strategic Plan, the Guelph Police Service outlined six priority areas: community policing, investigative excellence, community wellness, organizational health and service effectiveness, road safety, and policing downtown. To help achieve those ends, GPS committed to a Staffing & Service Delivery study performed by KPMG, which said the service needed more investment to bring it up to par with similarly sized cities.  It was hardly the best time for such big budget increases based on the fallout of Black Lives Matter and the affordability crisis, but the budget increases over the last few years have produced results. The challenges though keep multiplying, and so do the funds needed, and while the police are not political, the funding of police is. As we start debating the issues in this election, what are the police leaders thinking about before the next term of council in terms of their priorities?  To that end, we have on this edition both Guelph Police Services Chief Gord Cobey and chair of the Guelph Police Services Board Peter McSherry. Together, they will will discuss the inner workings of the Police Board, balancing affordability and growth over the last couple of budgets and whether the Guelph Police has achieved or exceeded their expectations. We will also talk about the police's role in educating the public about the budget and whether there's an education role for the police in this election.  So let's talk about the future of police and this election on this week's Guelph Politicast!  You can learn more about the Guelph Police Service, and find all its published reports on their website. The next meeting of the Guelph Police Services Board is on Thursday May 21, and you will be able to watch it on the Guelph Police YouTube channel. The agenda for that meeting will be available on Friday on the GPS website. Stay tuned for more reporting and insight about the election on Guelph Politico and the Guelph Politico Tip Sheet newsletter.  The host for the Guelph Politicast is Podbean.

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we're straining to do some explaining. How can you make sense of the news when the news barely makes sense? This is going to be really put to the test this week as we get into the ups and downs of the War in Iran, and then we will turn our attention to this race to referendum in Alberta. Maybe things closer to home will be easier to understand and we have a guest that will help us do that. This Thursday, May 7, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: The Skirmish to End all Mini Wars. It's now been over two months since the U.S. and Israel started a war with Iran, but don't call it a war! If you've been confused about President Donald Trump's justifications and goals for this "skirmish" before, that's nothing compared to the roller coaster in the last week alone. Up first, we will try to make sense of the blockade that's either working or not happening and the war that's either over or just beginning. Separation of Glowers. Take Back Alberta believes that it has more than enough signatures to finally put the question of separation before the voters in the Wild Rose province, but it's not that easy. David Parker, one of the leaders of the movement, is being accused of having inappropriate access to Elections Alberta's list of electors, and there's also reports of interference being stoked from the U.S. and Russia, so can we have a good, decent debate on this without the skullduggery? Summer in the City Hall. The 2026 municipal election is now underway, but that doesn't mean that our current city council isn't putting out any new hits. This week, we will be joined by Ward 3 City Councillor Michele Richardson, who has already announced her retirement, to talk about some the latest business at city hall including construction complaints, fiscal pressures, traffic calming questions, and the upcoming receipt of the renoviction bylaw and vacant home tax. Open Sources is live on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca at 5 pm on Thursday.

On the Saturday May 9, 2026 edition of The Richard Crouse Show we meet YouTuber, actor, screenwriter, comedian, and musician Jasmeet Raina. His series “Late Bloomer,” a dramedy about a millennial Sikh content creator balancing online ambitions, family expectations, community pressures, and personal growth, is in its third season on Crave right now. Critics call it funny, heartfelt, and eye-opening. He rose to fame in the late 2000s/early 2010s on YouTube with sharp, satirical sketches about growing up in a Punjabi immigrant family in Guelph, Ontario. His irreverent humor on culture, family, and identity earned him millions of views and a loyal following but he stepped back from YouTube around 2018, to created, write, produce, and star in the semi-autobiographical “Late Bloomer.” Then, we’ll meet actor Shamier Anderson. He’s best known for roles like Deputy Marshal Xavier Dolls in Wynonna Earp, Trevante Cole in Invasion (Apple TV+), and the memorable Mr. Nobody / The Tracker in John Wick: Chapter 4. He’s also involved in initiatives supporting Black Canadian talent, like co-founding awards and events with his brother, actor Stephan James. Today we’re talking about how he made the switch from law enforcement to acting, studying kung fu and his latest role, playing controversial Canadian sprinter Ben Johnson. “Hate the Player: The Ben Johnson Story” is a satirical comedy miniseries for Paramount+ and GameTV that focuses on Johnson’s 1988 Seoul Olympics 100m gold medal win (and world record), the subsequent doping scandal that stripped him of it, and a “definitely-not-biased” retelling that explores the legacy, the pressure, and perhaps the bigger picture of athletics in that era. Finally, we spend some time with Nicholas Braun. You’ve seen him in supporting roles in films like “The Perks of Being a Wallflower,” “How to Be Single” and “Zola,” although the 6'7" actor is best known as the awkward, ambitious Cousin Greg Hirsch on Crave’s “Succession,” a role that earned him three Primetime Emmy nominations for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series. Today, we’re talking about his latest project, “The Sheep Detectives,” a new, all-star whodunnit comedy now playing in theatres, about a flock of sheep attempt to solve a murder mystery. You heard me right. This bizarre but crowd-pleasing murder mystery for the whole family that could have been titled “CSI: Livestock.” Murder, talking sheep and philosophy intertwine to create echoes of “Babe: A Pig in the City” and “Old Yeller.” Nicolas Braun plays Tim, the only, and rather clumsy, police officer in a small town, who investigates the murder of the local shepherd played by Hugh Jackman, as a flock of crime-solving sheep try to crack the case first.

Sure, it's an election year, but that doesn't mean that the current city council is coasting in their last year in office. The council calendar has been pretty busy these first four months of 2026, and some of the things that have kept them busy might surprise you. This week, if you don't follow the news, or subscribe to this website, or have heard about it somewhere else, you will get your chance to catch-up on all the latest council business here. In January, the council year got started early with an emergency meeting to respond to the sudden cancellation of a daytime shelter program. No one saw it coming, but that was the case with a lot of the most difficult issues at the council table. From the plan to speed up development downtown, to the crunch over ice time at rec facilities, to the options for traffic calming around town, council had some tough debates and made some tougher decisions.  So let's recap the events at council so far this year on this edition of the Guelph Politicast! Stay on top of council coverage every week by following @adamadonaldson on Blue Sky and by subscribing to the Guelph Politico Tip Sheet newsletter. The Thursday edition is the recap of that week's council meeting.  The host for the Guelph Politicast is Podbean.

The Dirty Thirties might seem like the distant past but according to IDEAS contributor and professor Evan Fraser now is the time to dust off the lessons about what worked to save farmers and agriculture. The confluence of drought, scorching temperatures and terrifying storms was devastating for farm families forced to abandon their land. Fraser argues the Dust Bowl should serve as a warning of compounding crises that lie ahead. But he adds it can also be a guide to solutions that could help us muddle through as the world lurches into another chapter of environmental, political and economic upheaval.Guests in this episode:Evan Fraser is a geography professor and director of Arrell Food Institute at the University of Guelph.Pamela Riney-Kehrberg is a distinguished professor of history at Iowa State University.Robert McLeman is a professor of geography and environmental studies at Wilfrid Laurier University.

Food affordability remains a priority for many Canadians. This week, Prime Minister Mark Carney's government unveiled the spring economic update. It included some already announced measures aimed to make groceries more affordable. But some people are considering others measures to make food cheaper: public grocery stores. Federal NDP leader, Avi Lewis, has been talking about establishing a network of public grocery stores across Canada and municipalities like Toronto, Ottawa and Vancouver are also considering the concept. Mike von Massow is a food economist at the University of Guelph. He joins us today to stress-test the concept of public grocery stores and whether they could make food more affordable in Canada.

In this episode, I sit down with Tim O'Connor—golf coach, author of Getting Unstuck, and one of the most refreshing voices in golf psychology—to unpack why so many golfers stay trapped in the same frustrating cycles year after year. Tim explains why being "stuck" has less to do with mechanics and more to do with unconscious patterns, repetitive thinking, fear-based control, and a disconnect from the physical experience of playing golf. We also explore surrender, awareness, gratitude, adaptability, and why the golfers who improve fastest are often the ones who stop trying so hard. In this episode, you'll learn: What being "stuck" actually feels like for golfers Why fixing your swing mid-round keeps you trapped How awareness is the first step to lasting change Why golfers overthink because they're disconnected from feel How to stop bringing swing thoughts to the course Why surrender creates more control than forcing outcomes How gratitude can instantly improve your relationship with golf If you've ever chased swing tips mid-round, sabotaged a great start, overthought every shot, or felt like your scores no longer reflect your ability, this conversation will hit home.

Thinking more often creates worse golf, not better golf. Feel is frequently the missing link in performance. Great golf requires adaptability, not perfection. Gratitude brings you back to the present moment. Key Quotes: "You cannot change what you are not aware of." "Most golfers have never actually felt their swing because they're trapped in their head." "The game is about hitting shots—not building the perfect swing." "The more you try to control everything, the less free you are to perform." "Your suffering in golf often comes from wanting it too badly."

Equine colic refers to abdominal pain rather than a single disease and can arise from many causes, ranging from gas buildup to intestinal impaction. Horses with colic might show subtle signs such as reduced appetite or lethargy, or more obvious behaviors like pawing, flank-watching, rolling, or repeatedly getting up and down. Because some types of colic can become life-threatening quickly, recognizing early signs and contacting a veterinarian promptly can improve the horse's outcome.This episode is sponsored by CareCredit.

Tom and Zac are joined by Mark Surya, head coach of the Guelph Gryphons, to talk about the current state of Gryphons football.

Today we are joined by Alan McDougall, Professor of History at the University of Guelph, and the author of Dreams and Songs To Sing: A People's History of Liverpool F.C. From Shankly to Klopp (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2025). In our conversation, we discussed the rise of Liverpool as a global football club, the crises that beset the club during the Heysel and Hillsborough disasters, and the necessity of inherent optimism of fandom in contemporary sports. In Dreams and Songs to Sing, McDougall writes the history of Liverpool FC from Shankly to Klopp in a register that will appeal to both popular and scholarly readers. McDougall is a lifelong Liverpool supporter, and he is careful to point out where his connections to the club and its fandom might shade his examination, but he also shows how those same affective connections allow him to a unique entry point into issues only visible to fans and that supports can be even more critical than a detached observer. This is especially true in his investigation of Heysel and Hillsborough. The book proceeds roughly chronologically. The book's early chapters examine the club's connection to Liverpool's working-class district 4 and to their Anfield home ground. He pays special attention to the supporter's end - the notorious Kop. Using oral history interviews, McDougall illustrates the exceptional pull of the stadium to both local and global fans. The heart of the book is its engaging, thick description of the club's history during the Shankly era. McDougall shows that not only was Shankly a very successful manager, and quite funny, but that he ran the club with a sense of Liverpool's local identity. A man who arrived at the right time – he benefitted from Liverpool's growing global reputation; Beatlemania gave the city a sound but players and fans rubbed shoulders with comics, musicians, and poets. Shankly embodied the very local socialist, working-class attitudes of the majority of club supporters. His retirement shook the whole city. McDougall uses a family repository of letters to show how people from around the city, the country, and the world wrote to him to express sadness at him leaving and to wish him luck. McDougall's account might be from an insider, but his analysis does not shy away from shining a light on the difficult social politics that accompanied the club's enormous success on the field. European Cup victories sit alongside the deadly hooligan violence at Heysel. Black players like Howard Gayle and John Barnes face racism from the club's supporters. The club first ignores and then undervalues the rise of women's football. McDougall's history ends in the Klopp era – perhaps a mercy to Liverpool fans! He shows how the contemporary club embodies the idea of a global club with a local heart. The international ownership of the club has successfully navigated the rise of the Premier League and the increasing commercialization of European football, but local supporters have been innovative at creating a culture of resistance to changes that could undermine the glocal identity of Liverpool. Klopp symbolized this new football club: cosmopolitan, emotional, forward, successful. Compelling and hard to put down, McDougall's Dreams and Songs to Sing will appeal to all readers of sports history. It will be of particular interest to Liverpool supporters and football fanatics.

Stop hiring for the wrong things. When you hire, are you actually screening for success, or just a polished resume and a good interview that ticks the experience and credentials boxes? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Nita Chhinzer (University of Guelph) who challenged my perspective on recruitment. And as a bonus, what's happening in the market.It turns out, most of us are looking at the wrong things and asking the wrong questions. While technical skills get someone through the door, the evidence indicates that three "hidden" traits actually predict long-term performance: 1. Professional Maturity: Can they handle the sometimes unspoken realities of work?2. Attitude (The Useful Kind): Do they have genuine ownership, are they resilient, or are they just clocking in?3. Feedback Receptivity: Can they hear feedback without becoming defensive? Then will they actually use it to improve? Because if they can't take feedback, they won't grow as much.Ad despite what your client says they want, these three qualities are what they actually want according to the evidence and research. Once the basic skills pass a screening.So what soft skills do you include in your screening? Leave a comment. Has a "great on paper" hire ever failed because they lacked one of these three?*Find Dr. Nita Chhinzer in the following places* LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nitachhinzer/https://nitachhinzer.com/https://www.uoguelph.ca/lang/people/nita-chhinzer*Find Andrea Adams in the following places*https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrea-adams1/https://thehrhub.ca/

Harry Frielink has served the same classis for thirteen years while the denomination around him transformed. He came up through RTS Charlotte and Calvin Seminary, took a call in southwestern Ontario, and eventually settled in Barrie — an hour north of Toronto — where he's now been pastor for over a decade. What he's observed from that vantage point is not a smooth doctrinal progression, but a denomination that came to a cliff edge and, surprisingly, stepped back. This episode is about formation and faithfulness: how a pastor gets made, how a classis gets tested, and what you learn when the train wreck finally happens. Harry traces his own formation — from the pastoral notes Douglas Kelly wrote in the margins of his syllabi at RTS, to the practical wisdom that said he'd always be an outsider if he didn't go to Calvin, to his conviction that the church, not the seminary, is the real training ground. In Classis Toronto, he watched classical oversight quietly fade — no regular church visits, little deliberative work — until the weight of disaffiliation made it unavoidable. He describes going with another pastor to visit Meadowvale CRC before things came to a head: not to score points, but to ask the actual questions. Where do you stand on scripture? On the historicity of the fall? On the atonement? They were honest. And that honesty named what actually divided them. Harry has watched Classis Toronto shrink from 8,000 members to 2,000 since 2005. He says that soberly, not triumphantly. What encourages him now is not that the fight is over but that people are finally looking forward — toward evangelism, church revitalization, the slow work of discipleship. He's also learned something true about himself: he is not a spiritual Superman. The council leads. Elders teach. Deacons serve. The pastor equips. That's not a retreat from ministry — it's a Reformed ecclesiology, practiced honestly, finally beginning to bear fruit. Timestamps: 0:00 — Intro 0:06 — Harry's background: Guelph, Ontario; teaching before ministry; family life 1:50 — RTS Charlotte: Douglas Kelly, Bob Carroll, pastoral formation 4:22 — Decision to go to Calvin; spending time in Grand Rapids 6:51 — Classis Toronto involvement 8:30 — Challenges in Classis Toronto: theological engagement behind the controversies 10:22 — The October 2025 disaffiliation crisis; being yelled at from the chair 12:53 — Handling disaffiliations: heavy, conflicted, not celebratory 15:38 — Visiting Meadowvale CRC: naming what actually divides 19:42 — What Harry has come to know about the CRC: confessions and scripture 20:55 — The denomination's confessional turn — surprised and grateful 21:55 — What Harry has come to know about himself: not a spiritual Superman 25:31 — Pastoral strengths: preaching, catechism, discipleship classes Join and support us on Substack: https://themessyreformation.com/ Intro music by Matt Krotzer

Rose Bao is a canine behaviourist, counsellor, and coach, guided by fear-free principles and a deep respect for the emotional lives and agency of dogs and their humans. Her practice is collaborative and evidence-based, grounded in years of hands-on work across shelter rehabilitation, group classes, and private consultation, and shaped by the influence of her first dog, Bruno.She holds a first-class honours degree in biomedical engineering, with specialty focus on chronic pain, and is completing a master's in clinical animal behaviour at the University of Edinburgh. Her research interests lie in anthrozoology, with a particular focus on how agency, power, and identity intersect in dog training cultures. Drawing on her queer Australian-Chinese identity and performance practice in gender-bending burlesque, Rose contributes an intersectional social science voice to animal behaviour, situating the lived realities of dogs and their people within broader cultural and political contexts.Recent essays include Masculinity, Control, and Colonial Inheritance in 21st Century Dog Training Cultures and Anthropocentrism and the Digital Gaze in Human–Dog Interactions.With a blend of empathy, curiosity, and clinical insight, Rose seeks to reimagine dog training as a space where the agency of both dogs and humans is recognised, negotiated, and celebrated.Valli Fraser-Celin, PhD is an advocate for humane, fear/force-free dog training; she primarily shares her advocacy work through her Instagram account (@thelivesofwilddogs), where she documents life with her dogs, Husk and Sully, while promoting evidence-based approaches to canine welfare and training. Valli holds a PhD in Geography from the University of Guelph, where her doctoral research focused on human–African wild dog conflict and conservation in Botswana. She then completed postdoctoral research in Community Health Sciences at the University of Calgary, where she explored the roles of dogs in Indigenous communities across Canada. Since 2018, she has been working in the equitable access to veterinary care field, primarily in remote, Northern communities across Canada.Her scholarship has examined themes of animal agency and subjectivity, contributing to broader conversations on how human–animal relationships shape both animal welfare and community well-being. She continues to bring this perspective into her applied advocacy, emphasizing the importance of recognizing animals as sentient beings with their own experiences and needs. Through her combined academic background and hands-on experience with companion dogs, Valli bridges the gap between research and everyday practice, working to shift perspectives on how humans understand, care for, and coexist with dogs.Legal Disclaimer: This podcast is intended for educational purposes only and does not constitute advice or professional services by either the host nor any of the guests. Thank you for listening to the Enlightened Pet Behavior Podcast.

With close to 9 million domestic cats in Canada, and a third of them regularly roaming outdoors, we know that birds are heavily impacted by cats. In fact, cats are considered the number one threat to birds in Canada.Our guests, Julia Kilgour and Jonathan Chu, help us explore this fascinating and complex issue. From the science – predation numbers, the most vulnerable bird species, and how we study cats outdoors – to the complex emotions and human behaviours that impact conservation strategies. Jonathan and Julia help us learn how positive changes for birds doesn't have to mean leaving our furry friends behind. Travel to Madagascar, and other dream birding destinations with Birding Ecotours, visit birdingecotours.comWarm up with some Bird Friendly coffee from Birds and Beans.

For the last 10 years, she's been studying the effects of outdoor cats on birds and people in cities across North America. Julia is excited to work with communities in Canada to develop local strategies to help address this daunting issue. She is passionate about wildlife of all kinds, and loves watching and learning about birds (and other creatures) in her local urban forests. Andrea Gress (she/her) secretly thinks Piping Plovers are better than all the other birds...studied Renewable Resource Management at the University of Saskatchewan. She pivoted towards birds, after an internship in South Africa. Upon returning, she worked with Piping Plovers in Saskatchewan, and then as the Ontario Piping Plover Coordinator. Years of sharing her love of plovers with beach goers has turned into a full time communications role with Birds Canada.  Support the show

Dr. Donald L. Smith is the Distinguished James McGill Professor in the Department of Plant Science at McGill University. He is also CEO of BioFuelNet Canada, Head of Biomass Canada, and Head of the McGill Network for Innovation on Biofuels and Bioproduct. Don's research examines relationships between plants and the microbes that live in association with them, particularly in the roots. He and his collaborators have discovered evidence of signaling between plants and microbes, including microbial signaling that causes plants to grow better. They also uncovered that plants respond much more strongly to signals in the presence of drought or cold stress. Now they are expanding their investigations to examine a wide range of plant-associated microbes to better understand the signals they send and how they may impact plant health and resilience. Outside of the lab, Don loves to unwind and recharge by going on walks and reading great novels. He is also an avid traveler who enjoys blending work with trips to new places whenever possible, turning conferences and collaborations into opportunities to explore the world. He received his Bachelor's and Master's degrees from Acadia University and his PhD from the University of Guelph. Afterwards, he worked as an Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) Postdoctoral Fellow at Agriculture Canada before joining the faculty at McGill University in 1985. Over the course of his career, Don has received many awards and honors, including, the Clean50 award for contributions to sustainable development and clean capitalism in Canada and the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal, in this case for significant contributions to intelligent agriculture . He is also a Fellow of the Canadian Society of Agronomy, and he served as a Member of the Canada-US think tank on climate change and agriculture in North Eastern North America. In our interview, Don shares more about his life and science.

This episode's guests were speakers on a Hot Topic Panel titled “Farm Management for the Future - Managing for Health, Welfare, and Performance” at the 2025 ADSA annual meeting. Dr. Nelson gives some background on how the Hot Topic Panel idea came to be and introduces the rest of the guests. (1:07)Dr. Devries describes his research program in dairy cattle behavior and nutrition, particularly using behavior as a metric for understanding nutrition and housing management and using automated tools. He has particular expertise in automated milking systems. He envisions incremental adoption of various automated tools to replace human labor in the manufacturing of milk. He predicts this will manifest not only in automated or robot systems, but also in increased automation in a traditional parlor system as well. (5:01)Dr. Boerman, a nutritionist, collaborates with Dr. Amy Reibman, an engineer, at Purdue to research the use of video analytics on dairy farms. Projects include video prediction of cow intake and cow body weight combined with milk production information in an effort to make improvements in feed efficiency. She emphasizes that technology needs to be used across a large number of farms without disrupting the farm. The panel talks about what technologies are currently available, challenges in identifying individual cows, and specific issues created for technology in a dairy farm environment. Dr. Boerman notes that a collaborative effort with colleagues of different expertise leads to the most optimal outcomes. (15:42)Dr. Giordano talks about monitoring systems for reproduction, health, and welfare. Wearable sensors are a good example of a technology that can be used to monitor both reproduction and health, as well as aspects of nutritional management. The goal of many research programs in this area is to touch cows as little as possible, yet intervene as early and intensely as possible with cows who truly need intervention. An intervention could be a treatment to ameliorate or reduce clinical signs, or it could be a preventative intervention that prevents the cow from developing a clinical health disorder. More work is needed to refine algorithms and integrate data, as well as distilling the data into what is most valuable to make the best predictions at the most reasonable cost.  (34:08)The panel further discusses the challenges of data integration, adequate internet and power access on farms, human error for manual data entry, and future training challenges for dairy farm and allied industry employees.(38:32)Panelists share their take-home thoughts.

Every time one of the big clubs show up on this humble podcast, the audience is a little larger - and maybe I should do more on the likes of Bayern or Liverpool. But I always shirk back a bit. Too mainstream, I think. And if you like Liverpool, wouldn't you have found another, more professional media outlet already? If that is you, I think you need to buy this book. And, first, hear about it: Alan McDougall has written what the subtitle says is a peoples' history of Liverpool F.C. I would say it's a global people's history. Published  by Cambridge University Press, the book is very readable and accessible, but with high scholarly standards. Not a straight up club history, always with an eye on culture, society and football more broadly, but never far from the club the author has grown up to love. It's a story of deindustrialization, migration, the tragedies of Heysel and Hillsborough, and Bill Shankly and Jürgen Klopp. Alan McDougall is a professor of history at the University of Guelph in Canada, and he has been on before to talk about his fabulous older book The People's Game about soccer in Eastern Germany. For this one, he has returned to his football home, and done what not many club histories do: a book you'll enjoy reading, following its connections and learning about its world even if you don't support Liverpool.HELPFUL LINKS FOR THIS EPISODE:Alan McDougall, professional pageDreams and Songs to Sing, book websiteHillsborough Law campaignHeysel Stadium catastrophe, TV footage (warning, graphic imagery)NEW: send me a text message!

Genetic resilience and the dynamics of inbreeding and diversity in dairy breeding. Dr. Maltecca (6:43)The main issues in managing genetic diversity in dairy cattle include inbreeding depression and continuing selection without exhausting the available variability in the population. These are difficult to investigate in a breeding population, as there is not a model algorithm where there is the luxury of designing an experiment. Dairy cattle closely resemble one another, so it is difficult to distinguish between the effect of selection from the effect of drift and the effect of deleterious mutation accumulation in the population. Researchers find proxies to estimate inbreeding and inbreeding depression because we don't have good estimates of dominance effects.Identifying genetic diversity within indigenous and highly commercialized breeds for improved performance and future preservation. Dr. Huson (12:24)Dr. Huson covered four steps of thinking about genetic diversity in cattle: characterization of the genetic diversity, biological understanding of why we should preserve diversity, utilizing our understanding of diversity in breeding programs, and preserving and reassessing diversity over time. Harnessing indigenous African breeds for sustainable dairy production: Opportunities for crossbreeding to accelerate genetic improvement. Dr. Mapholi (16:52)Dr. Mapholi emphasized the importance of tick and disease resistance for the sustainability of the African dairy industry. The indigenous African breeds had been overlooked due to small frame size and the perception they were not suitable for commercial farming, but they have excellent tick and disease resistance. Exotic breeds from the US and Europe struggled with the harsh environment. Crossbreeding indigenous and exotic breeds is allowing for simultaneous improvement in milk production and disease resistance. Genomics is particularly helpful to identify the best candidate breeds for crossing.Genomic- versus pedigree-based inbreeding: 2 sides of the same coin. Dr. Macciotta (24:19)It was thought that genomic selection would help in slowing the increase of inbreeding because we were looking at the DNA of the animal, not their pedigree. However, the traditional top animals were the population from which genomic selection began, and genomic selection shortens generation interval, so inbreeding continues to increase at a faster rate. Genomics offer new tools for investigating inbreeding, but there are 10-15 options to calculate inbreeding, all of which could provide a different answer. With pedigree selection, there is only one measurement of inbreeding. We are still investigating the best method for calculating inbreeding using genomic tools.Managing genetic diversity: Strategies for sustainable livestock improvement. Dr. Baes (27:53)Genomic selection has increased the speed at which animals become more related. There are negative implications of inbreeding, but today, the genetic and economic gains achieved through the current intense directional selection still far outweigh the inbreeding issues. No one knows where the edge of the cliff is, however. Dr. Baes envisions an international system one day where academia, AI companies, and producers all work together to understand and manage genetic diversity in livestock.The panelists discuss key takeaways they got from the other speakers' presentations and give perspectives on the topic of genetic diversity for their particular country and field of study.
