ANDREWS: Margaret teaches a variety of leadership courses and professional and executive programs at Harvard University and is the founder of the MYLO Center, a private leadership development firm. Her MYLO (Manage Yourself to Lead Others) course has had a wait list every time it's been taught for over a decade and has become the most popular professional development program at Harvard. Margaret's expertise is grounded her own experience—a previous boss once told her that while her business results were great, her interpersonal skills were highly lacking. The exact phrase he used was, “you're not self-aware.” To change, Margaret looked for insight from famous leaders to management studies to disciplines like philosophy and psychology. At the end of the day, she found that the basis for powerful, effective leadership comes from within—from understanding yourself and then managing yourself toward the leader you want to become—also known MYLO. Margaret has taken her MYLO approach and distilled it into her first book, MANAGE YOURSELF TO LEAD OTHERS: Why Great Leadership Begins with Self-Understanding (Basic Venture; September 16, 2025).

When do limits on majorities enhance democratic rule, and when do they undermine it? Join Nic Cheeseman as he talks to Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt, well-known as authors of the best-selling book How Democracies Die, about their new framework for understanding when the best way to protect democracy is to constrain the wishes of the majority, and when we need to empower them. Lumping all majoritarian measures into the same category, they argue, can lead us to preserve and prescribe outdated and undemocratic institutions that distort political competition and may undermine democratic legitimacy. So does saving democracy actually depend on the recognition that while special protections for powerful minorities may have helped to secure the historical passage to democracy, today the healthiest democracies empower majorities? This episode is based on Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt's article “When Should the Majority Rule?” that was published in the January 2025 issue of the Journal of Democracy, and is part of an ongoing partnership between the Journal of Democracy and the People, Power, Politics podcast. A transcript is available for download here. Steven Levitsky is Professor of Government at Harvard University and the co-author of How Democracies Die (2018), which won the Lionel Gelber Prize and the Arthur Ross Book Award. A leading scholar of authoritarianism and democratic backsliding, his earlier works include Competitive Authoritarianism: Hybrid Regimes After the Cold War (2010). Levitsky directs Harvard's David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies and served as Vice Provost for International Affairs. He has received a Guggenheim Fellowship and the Karl Deutsch Award for his contributions to comparative politics. His research spans Latin American politics, party systems, and informal institutions, influencing both academic debate and public discourse on democracy's challenges. Daniel Ziblatt is Eaton Professor of the Science of Government at Harvard University and co-author of How Democracies Die (2018), which won the Lionel Gelber Prize and the Arthur Ross Book Award. His book Conservative Advantage (2017) received the Luebbert Prize for the Best Book on Comparative Politics. Ziblatt's research explores democratic durability and party systems, especially in Europe. He serves as Co-Director of Harvard's Center for European Studies and holds a Guggenheim Fellowship. His work has significantly influenced understandings of conservative parties' roles in sustaining democracy and the threats posed by their erosion. Nic Cheeseman is the Professor of Democracy and International Development at the University of Birmingham and Founding Director of CEDAR.

Who were the first women to make a splash in the Australian business scene by investing? 

Margaret Andrews teaches a variety of leadership courses and professional and executive programs at Harvard University and is the founder of the MYLO Center, a leadership development firm. Her MYLO course (Manage Yourself to Lead Others) has had a wait list every time it's been taught for over a decade and has become the most popular professional development program at Harvard. And Margaret has now turned her course into a book titled: Manage Yourself to Lead Others. Margaret earned her undergraduate degree from Cal Berkeley and her graduate degree from MIT. In this episode we discuss the following: When Margaret's boss told her that she wasn't self-aware, she made a change. She learned more about herself and others—and since then, she has been teaching leaders to do the same. Margaret helps leaders by asking questions such as: “Who's thinking has influenced your life?” “What are your core values?” and “What type of leader would you like to become?” Answering these questions helps leaders see where they're at and where they want to go. And then it takes thoughtfulness and intentionality to become the leaders they want to be. We have to understand and manage ourselves if we want to understand and lead others.

AI companies are hitting growth milestones in record time—some reaching $100 million in revenue in just two years. But while this pace feels familiar in tech, healthcare has always been slower to adopt new tools. That may finally be changing.Kent Bennett and Sofia Guerra of Bessemer Venture Partners join Steve Kraus to unpack findings from Bessemer's State of AI 2025 report and what they mean for healthcare. From “supernovas” and “shooting stars” to the rise of systems of action, they explore how AI is reshaping not only software businesses but also the way doctors, health systems, and patients interact with technology.We cover:

Professor Jack Shonkoff, Founding Director of Harvard University's Center on the Developing Child and Director of Connecting Science + Community, joins for a powerful conversation about the future of early childhood development (ECD). He reflects on decades of progress in making science actionable for policymakers, service providers and advocates; and shares why the next frontier must focus on the environments where families live. From poverty and housing to access to nutritious food, clean water and social capital, Shonkoff explains why community context is the missing piece in ensuring children everywhere can thrive. Key topics explored in this episode: Why ECD is a moral imperative and a foundation for a healthy, sustainable society How science — from neuroscience to immunology — is reshaping our understanding of child development Why one-size-fits-all programs fail, and how solutions must adapt to local contexts The misaligned incentives in philanthropy, evaluation and policymaking that slow progress How Connecting Science + Community is bridging research and grassroots action, with early examples of U.S. cities tackling housing, jobs and equity for children Why being “constructively dissatisfied” is essential for the field to keep advancing Professor Shonkoff emphasizes that while the early childhood field has already transformed millions of lives worldwide, the work is far from finished. Real impact will come from smarter strategies, stronger communities and a commitment to caring not only for our children but for all children.

In this episode of Occupied Thoughts, FMEP Fellow Ahmed Moor speaks with Daniel Levy, President of the U.S./Middle East Project (USMEP). They discuss Levy's argument that the way that Israel withdrew Israeli settlements from Gaza in 2005 set the stage for today's genocide; as Levy put it in a recent +972 Magazine piece, the current Israeli paradigm is "not just separating from the Palestinians, relegated to shrinking Bantustans, but annihilating and erasing them." Moor and Levy also discuss the impact of Israel's attacks in Qatar this week both in the near and longterm, the need for Netanyahu to formally deny Israeli involvement in the assassination of Charlie Kirk, and shifting political approaches to Israel/Palestine.  Daniel Levy is the President of the U.S./Middle East Project (USMEP), which emphasizes the Palestine-Israel issue alongside regional conflicts, trends and geopolitics. From 2012 to 2016, Levy was Director for the Middle East and North Africa at the European Council on Foreign Relations. Prior to that he was a senior Fellow and Director of the New America Foundation's Middle East Taskforce in Washington D.C. and a Senior Fellow at The Century Foundation in New York. Levy was a Senior Advisor in the Israeli Prime Minister's Office and to Justice Minister Yossi Beilin during the Government of Ehud Barak (1999-2001). He was a member of the official Israeli delegation to the Israel/Palestine peace talks at Taba under Barak and at Oslo B under Yitzhak Rabin (1994-95). Levy is a founder and Advisory Board member of Diaspora Alliance (combatting antisemitism and its conflation), a Council Member of the ECFR, and serves on the board of the European Middle East Project. He is a former Trustee of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund in New York and of the New Israel Fund, a co-founder of J Street, and a founding Editor of the Middle East Channel at foreignpolicy.com.  Ahmed Moor is a Palestinian-American writer born in Gaza and a 2025 Fellow at FMEP. He is an advisory board member of the US Campaign for Palestinian rights, co-editor of After Zionism (Saqi Books) and is currently writing a book about Palestine.

Frances Glessner Lee discovered her true calling later in life. An heiress without formal schooling, she was in her fifties when she transformed her fascination with true crime and medicine into the foundation of a new field: forensic science. In the late 1920s, she drew inspiration from a family friend, a medical examiner involved in notorious cases— including the infamous Sacco and Vanzetti trial. For Glessner Lee, the puzzle of untangling the truth about violent deaths proved irresistible. She recognized that solving crimes demanded both rigorous methods and professional training. She funded and helped found the Department of Legal Medicine at Harvard University. Her most unusual teaching tool: intricately crafted dollhouse dioramas depicting grisly crime scenes.

This episode begins with Mary and Andrew digesting the 2-1 decision from the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals halting the Trump administration's ability to use the Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelan nationals accused of being members of Tren de Aragua.

Next, they move to Monday's Supreme Court decision undoing limits set by a lower court on how ICE conducts immigration raids. Plus, a federal judge issues a win for Harvard University on the topic of frozen and terminated funds. Further reading:  The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals' ruling on Trump's invocation of the Alien Enemies Act to deport VenezuelansAnd a reminder: tickets are on sale now for MSNBC Live – our second live community event featuring more than a dozen MSNBC hosts.

In today's episode we discuss the NFL week 1 games, make our picks for the week 2 NFL games. We also talk about the MLB playoff picture, and continue our re-watch of the 1984 NBA Championship Series (as it was called then). Today we are breaking down the second half of game 1, played at Boston Garden on 5/27/84. Listen in to find out how much a year's tuition was at Harvard University in 1984 (you will probably be surprised!). 

A lot has happened in the global economy since 2019, and few people know that better than Gita Gopinath. As the IMF Chief Economist and subsequently the institution's First Deputy Managing Director, she navigated unprecedented global crises, including the pandemic and the ensuing great lockdown, wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, inflation, and geopolitical fragmentation. Her career as a Professor at Harvard University was put on hold to take on those IMF roles, but now she's back. How will the 2025 version of Professor Gopinath compare to the 2018 version? In this podcast, Gita Gopinath reflects on her experiences at the Fund and what she's taking back with her to Harvard. Transcript: https://bit.ly/4npTyR5

 The Sun is our very own well behaved star. It rises and sets in our sky every day and powers and makes possible all life forms on planet Earth. A new appreciation for our Sun is growing as we learn more about other suns and their families of planets. The Trappist-1 system of 7 planets orbits a dim M type red dwarf star about 40 light years away in the constellation of Aquarius.Recently, Dr. Manasvi Lingam and Dr. Abraham Loeb of Harvard University have calculated the likelihood that planets orbiting red dwarf stars are able to possess an atmosphere conducive to life. They report, in a recently published a paper in the International Journal of Astrobiology that the planet Trappist 1-e is more than 100 times less likely to be habitable than is the Earth. Another group from Harvard and the University of Massachusetts at Lowell, headed up by Dr. Cecilia Garraffo also find the Trappist-1 planets to be a tough place to live. These researchers add that the close proximity of these planets to their host star put them at risk of having their atmospheres stripped off by high stellar winds and their surfaces bombarded with high energy particles and electromagnetic radiation. Go outside today and enjoy some gentle sunshine from our well behaved star.

Andrew's journey is one marked by innovation, self-discovery, and seizing opportunities when they arise. Andrew and I started before he entered Harvard Law School at Harvard University. After graduating from undergraduate, he would have a short stint in the consulting world, but decided Law School would be the next path. Motivated to stay near his friends and continue to get to play the cello, Andrew would enter the doors of Harvard Law School, a familiar, but at the same time, unfamiliar place to be. Andrew would speak about the various internships he held throughout Law School, from the Justice Department to litigation. Andrew was able to tease out important insights about what the future of his career would look like. Following Law School, Andrew would enter the world of BigLaw, landing himself a spot at one of the largest firms in the world, Latham & Watkins. Andrew would speak on this experience, and also how this would lead to his next job at Promontory Financial Group. Andrew would get the opportunity to build Promontory to the highest of heights. Andrew then spoke about his teaching career both in Law School and at Business school, noting how much he enjoys seeing his students grow over time, and beyond the classroom. Finally, we spoke about the amazing actions he is taking at where he works today, Panorama Education, helping schools around the country find ways to better serve every student body!

Put on your party hat and wet suit because it is Cephalopod Week, Science Friday's annual celebration of all things, octopuses, squid, and cuttlefish. To kick things off, we're bringing you an ode to the octopus arm. You may have heard that octopuses can use their arms to “taste” their surroundings, which they use for finding food. Now, researchers have unlocked a key mechanism in the octopus sensory system. Octopuses use their suckers to detect harmful microbes on the surface of crab shells or even their own eggs.  Host Flora Lichtman talks with molecular biologist Nicholas Bellono about the latest in octopus sensory science. Guest: Dr. Nicholas Bellono is a professor of molecular and cellular biology at Harvard University.Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.

In her latest book, We the People, the historian, New Yorker staff writer, and Harvard University professor Jill Lepore turns her attention to the history of the U.S. Constitution. Specifically, she focuses on all the ways our government's foundational text has changed throughout its nearly 250 year history. Lepore calls Article V, which lays out the Constitution's amendment mechanism, by far its most “radical innovation.” But she says the Constitution has become unamendable in the modern era — it hasn't been meaningfully updated in more than a half-century, corroding our politics and government.  Kara and Jill break down why the Framers included a way to make changes to the Constitution, how we're still grappling with Article V's bad compromises, and why the now dominant judicial philosophy of originalism contradicts the Framers' intent. Lepore also digs into whether the Constitution can withstand PresidentTrump's constant attacks. Questions? Comments?

Milk: drink a lot of it and we'll grow big and tall with strong bones. That's what many people are told as children, but just how true is this accepted wisdom? CrowdScience listener JJ in Singapore is sceptical. He wants to live a healthy life for as long as possible, and he's wondering whether drinking cow's milk will help or hinder him on this mission. All mammals produce milk, and our mother's milk is our very first drink as babies. So what actually is the white stuff? Mary Fewtrell, professor of paediatric nutrition at UCL, gives presenter Chhavi Sachdev the lowdown on just how fundamental breastmilk is to us all. But are we meant to continue drinking milk from other animals once we grow up? This behaviour of ours is rare among mammals… so Christina Warinner, professor of evolutionary biology at Harvard University, tells us when in our history cow's milk entered our diet, and how we even came to be able to digest it. And is there any truth in the accepted wisdom that cow's milk will give us stronger bones? Karl Michaelsson, professor of medical epidemiology at Uppsala University, has researched just this – and the answer isn't what you'd expect. Karl helps Chhavi sift through the complex evidence to see whether milk is actually any good for us.Presenter: Chhavi Sachdev Producer: Sophie Ormiston Editor: Ben Motley(Photo:Lady milking cow, Nadiad, Gujarat, India)

We are resharing this episode, which originally published on May 6th, 2025. You've probably seen footage or photos of people protesting the Trump regime. Some data suggests that the volume of protestors is higher than in Trump's first term. But at the same time, you might be wondering if we're seeing enough civil resistance to preserve American democracy. Our guest this week is one of the authors of a study that found that just 3.5% of the population taking to the streets is enough to block authoritarian takeover. Erica Chenoweth is a political scientist at Harvard. They join to discuss historical and contemporary strategies for protesting, democratic backsliding, global comparisons and more.
