Amid the roar of gunfire and the loss of friends to war, this law student refused to be defined by his past. Instead, he transformed trauma into purpose, forging a remarkable journey from survival to the pursuit of justice. Speaking on a recent episode of The Protégé Podcast, host Grace Robbie speaks with Alfred Brownell, a law student at the University of Queensland, who shares his remarkable journey of growing up in a war-torn country where the sound of gunfire was part of daily life, opens up about the lasting impact of those traumas, reflects on how these experiences have shaped the person he is today, and reveals how, after being unable to pursue medical school, he found inspiration to begin working alongside his father in environmental advocacy. Brownell also reflects on his family's remarkable legal legacy, speaks about his father's story of having to flee the country after government authorities targeted him for his environmental work, recounts his own experience of starting a new life in Australia along with the significant challenges that came with it, explains how the hardships he faced has helped him build meaningful new connections in Australia, and emphasises why it is so important to never give up on studying law, no matter the obstacles that stand in the way.

In this episode, we (finally!) settle into our brand new studio setup and catch up on all the books, stories, and strange obsessions that have been filling our shelves—and our heads—lately. From the heartbreak and food memories of Crying in H Mart to the surreal mythology of The Spear Cuts Through Water, we share what's moved us, confused us, or just totally swept us away. Expect lively discussion about The Midnight Library, The Book of Doors, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow—all rich with time travel, alternate realities, and unexpected doorways. Things get chaotic with Dungeon Crawler Carl, philosophical with The Poppy War, and delightfully weird with Halls of the Turnip King. We also dip into the strange, mossy world of Swamp Thing—from Alan Moore's iconic run to the creature's (sometimes cursed) appearances in film.Along the way, we touch on I Hope This Finds You Well and what it says about modern workplace culture, gush about using Storygraph, and shout out the haunting track Pinprick by Dome.If you love books with bite, stories with portals, and a little comic book nostalgia, this one's for you.#PodcastEpisode #BookPodcast #ReadingRecap #NewStudioSetup #CryingInHMart #TheSpearCutsThroughWater #TomorrowAndTomorrowAndTomorrow #TheMidnightLibrary #TheBookOfDoors #DungeonCrawlerCarl #ThePoppyWar #HallsOfTheTurnipKing #SwampThing #AlanMoore #ComicBookTalk #Storygraph #BookDiscussion #TimeTravelBooks #FantasyReads #WorkplaceCulture #BookRecommendations #LiteraryPodcastLinktree: https://linktr.ee/seangeekpodcastPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/meetthegeeksMerch: Tee Public: https://www.teepublic.com/seangeekpodcastRed Bubble: https://www.redbubble.com/people/seangeekpodcast/shop@seangeekpodcast on Twitter, Instagram and FacebookMentioned in this episode:New Merch AdAn ad that incorporates Red Bubble and Tee Public

This week's show features Shabbos Kestenbaum, a former Harvard Divinity student now suing the university over its failure to address rampant antisemitism on campus. Justin Hilton of The Israel Guys challenges the international narrative about famine in Gaza, pointing to the massive amounts of aid Israel has facilitated despite global accusations. Hosts Mike and Laureen unpack the week's headlines: an Israeli airstrike on a Gaza hospital that killed five journalists, ongoing protests inside Israel and the debate over whether access for Western reporters in Gaza would change the headlines.

Dan Wang is a research fellow at Stanford University's Hoover History Lab, and previously a fellow at Yale Law School's Paul Tsai China Center. Before that, he was an analyst focused on China's technology capabilities at Gavekal Dragonomics, based across Hong Kong, Beijing, and Shanghai. Dan is perhaps best known for a series of annual letters, published between 2017-2023, which encapsulate his reflections on Chinese society; his writing has also appeared in other outlets including Foreign Affairs, The Atlantic, The New York Times, and beyond. In this New Books Network Episode, Dan discusses his debut book Breakneck: China's Quest to Engineer the Future (Norton, 2025). Styled as an aggregation of seven of his famed annual letters, Breakneck presents a dichotomy of China and the US as an “engineering state” and "lawyerly society” respectively, and traces how China's “engineering state” has shaped Chinese society over the last decade. Breakneck is now available for purchase online and in physical bookstores.

Fyrr í sumar uppgötvaðist á bókasafni Columbia háskóla í New York áður óþekkt píanóverk eftir eitt af höfuðtónskáldum Íslendinga, Leif Þórarinsson.

Hann lýsir sköpunarferli lagasmíðanna við það að vera í hálfgerðu vímuástandi, þar sem textarnir flæða inn í ómótaða melódíuna.

The story of a whistle blower and millions in government grants..."Cover-Up!: COLLUSION IN THE HALLS OF ACADEMIA - SECOND EDITION" by Helene Z. Hill, PhDThis is a story about scientific fraud and one woman's attempt to set the record straight.In March 2001, post-doctoral fellow Dr. Marek Lenarczyk reported to Professor Helene Z. Hill that he had found that post-doctoral fellow Dr. Anupam Bishayee had set up an experiment involving cultured mammalian cells that were contaminated with bacteria or mold. Drs Hill and Lenarczyk believed that the lab chief, Dr. Roger Howell, had great faith in Dr. Bishayee and would not believe them if they reported their observations to him at that time. They thus determined to follow the progress of the experiment to its end knowing that it could not produce reliable results. This fateful decision would set in motion twelve years of investigations by the University's Campus Committee on Research Integrity - three sittings, the US Public Health Service's Office of Research Integrity-two sittings, a qui tam Federal law suit charging violation of the False Claims Act, followed by 6 depositions by members of the department of Radiology of the NJ Medical School, 3 depositions by expert witnesses: 2 for the prosecution and one for the defense, a ruling by by the Federal District Court that there had been no violation of the False Claims Act because defendant Principle Investigator Howell had not known at the time that he filed the grant application that some of the data, produced by Bishayee, were false. Finally, a ruling for the defendants by the US Court of Appeals for the third Circuit in Philadelphia brought an end to the court case. Hill and expert witness Professor Joel Pitt now attempted to publish their findings of data fabrication and finally succeeded after 12 rejections.Dr. Helene Z. Hill is a graduate of Smith College and received a PhD in biology from Brandeis University in 1964. She was a post-doctoral fellow at Harvard and the University of Colorado Medical Schools, and she rose through the ranks from assistant to full professor at the Medical Schools of the University of Colorado; Washington University in St. Louis; Marshall University, Huntington, West Virginia; and the New JerseyMedical School, in Newark, New Jersey. Dr. Hill has co-authored more than eighty scientific publications and was awarded the Smith College Medal in 1997. Dr. Hill retired in December 2016 and is Professor Emerita, at Rutgers-The State University of New Jersey. Dr Hill has written Hidden Data: The Blind Eye of Science CreateSpace 2016 and co-wrote with Amy Waters Yarsinske Cover-Up: Collusion in the Halls of Academia. The Crying Window: Memoir of a Woman Scientist Looking for Truth will be published in the summerhttps://www.amazon.com/Cover-Up-Collusion-Academia-Helene-Hill/dp/1968519130https://www.hzhill.net/https://www.ecpublishingllc.com/http://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/81425hzhec.mp3
