We get into Finland's complicated history with Sweden and Russia, gender equality and how it shapes dating and relationships, why so many Finns embrace living alone, and the cultural pressure around fertility and the country's declining birth rate. We also talk about drinking and dating culture, happiness, mental health struggles and suicide during Finland's extreme seasons, the Finnish hatred of small talk, and, of course, sauna culture—including nudity, body positivity, and why stripping down together might just be the great Finnish equalizer.For more from today's guest, Elisabeth Lovman:Follow Elisabeth on Instagram @elisabethlovmanGet your copy of Girl Gone Wild from ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Bookshop.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Amazon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Psst, Courtney has an 0nIyFan$, which is a horny way to support the show: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠onlyfans⁠.com/cocopeepshow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Private Parts Unknown is a proud member of the Pleasure Podcast network.

Mitä tapahtuu, kun elämä näyttää ulospäin onnistuneelta mutta sisällä ei tunnukaan hyvältä? Työt kulkevat, tavoitteita saavutetaan ja paperilla kaiken pitäisi olla hienostimutta ilo alkaa kadota, uni rakoilla ja elämä hiljalleen kutistua.Tässä Väkevä Elämä -jaksossa puhutaan uupumisesta, menestymisen hinnasta ja siitä, miten oman jaksamisen alamäki voisi huomata ennen kuin on pakko ajaa päin kiviseinää. Miksi varoitusmerkkejä on niin helppo vältellä? Miksi burnoutiin liittyy usein häpeää? Ja miksi niin moni jatkaa samalla polulla, vaikka tietää syvällä sisimmässään, ettei se enää vie oikeaan suuntaan?Jaksossa pohditaan myös identiteettiä, suorittamista ja sitä, kuinka paljon elämää tulee rakennettua sen ympärille, mitä muut meistä ajattelevat. Puhutaan kalenterista, jonka pitäisi hengittää eikä huohottaa, työn ja perhe-elämän rajoista sekä vaikeasta mutta tärkeästä kysymyksestä: kuka olet jos työ, tittelit ja saavutukset riisutaan pois?Jaksossa vieraana kanssani keskustelemassa yrittäjä, mentori ja isä Tomi Kokko. Tomi on työskennellyt hyvinvoinnin parissa yli 20 vuotta ja käynyt itse läpi useamman uupumuksen, joista viimeisin pakotti pysähtymään perusteellisesti. Nykyään hän keskittyy erityisesti miesyrittäjien ja isien kokonaisvaltaiseen hyvinvointiin, elinvoimaisuuteen ja siihen, että menestystä voisi rakentaa ilman, että terveys tai tärkeimmät ihmissuhteet jäävät laskun maksajiksi.LinkitOptimal Performance- Hyvinvointiluennot ja verkkovalmennukset: https://www.optimalperformance.fi- Kuntosali ja valmennuskeskus, Helsinki: https://www.opcenter.fiTomi Kokko- Kotisivut: https://www.tomikokko.com/- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tomikokko/

Leads education and innovation at Big Bad Boo Studios, where she builds multicultural animated content that helps kids navigate conflict, identity, and belonging. Rachael Thrash has spent 25 years designing curriculum and student leadership systems in international and public schools, from Helsinki to Portland, Maine. Her book, Let the Learners Lead, gives school leaders a field-tested toolkit for turning students from passengers into co-owners of their school culture. Most classroom management strategies treat student behaviour as something adults control, not something students share responsibility for. Rachael Thrash, author of Let the Learners Lead, spent 25 years testing what happens when schools flip that assumption — inviting quiet, disconnected, and overlooked students into real leadership instead of asking them to earn it first. The results reshape how you think about culture, norms, and who actually gets to lead in your building.

This month we were delighted to be joined for the second time by Avi (Dr KBH), who is a researcher in medical anthropology at the University of Helsinki. He is currently PI of the project “After Malaria” which investigates Cyprus and Finland and their successful malaria cessation stories. Avi gives us insight into this project and into the documentaries that are being made about each of the case locations. In addition to discussion of these works, Avi gave us a heads up about an event that will be held in Helsinki on November 13 and 14.

How is God sufficient for every trial and difficulty we face? Scripture teaches that God has provided everything believers need through the sufficiency of His Word, the cross, His grace, Christ, and the Holy Spirit. Because Scripture is God-breathed, it thoroughly equips us for every good work and must remain our standard for truth. Christ's work on the cross is likewise complete and needs nothing added to it. As we learn, internalize, and apply God's Word, we can face suffering, pressure, disappointment, and uncertainty with confidence, resting in God's perfect provision and trusting Him to sustain us. Please note during this message that Dr. Dean referenced a KJV-only ministry, which actually was in Tallinn, not Helsinki.

Tiedät ehkä jo aivan hyvin, mitä sinun pitäisi tehdä. Nukkua enemmän. Liikkua. Syödä fiksummin. Rauhoittaa tahtia. Silti viikot kuluvat ja mikään ei oikein muutu. Silloin ongelma ei välttämättä ole tiedon puute vaan se, että olet jumissa samassa tavassa ajatella omaa tilannettasi.Tässä Väkevä Elämä -monologijaksossa käyn läpi 14 kysymystä, joiden tarkoitus on auttaa katsomaan omaa tilannetta hieman eri kulmasta. Miksi hyvässä kunnossa oleminen on sinulle oikeasti tärkeää? Mistä tiedät, että tilanteesi on niin mahdoton kuin ajattelet? Toimiiko nykyinen tapasi sinulle? Ja mitä jos kaiken tulevan kiireen sijaan keskittyisit siihen, miten voisit onnistua tänään?Näkyvätkö omat prioriteetit oikeasti kalenterissa, mitä elämässä pidät terveyttä tärkeämpänä ja mikä on vaihtoehto, jos mitään ei muutu. Mukana on sekä lempeämpää näkökulman vaihtamista että muutama märkärätti naamaan -osaston kysymys, joiden tehtävä on saada rattaat pyörähtämään korvien välissä vähän uuteen asentoon.Tavoitteena ei ole täydellinen elämä eikä se, että jokainen viikko menisi hyvinvoinnin oppikirjan mukaan. Tavoitteena on päästä pois ajattelun umpikujista ja löytää sellaisia ratkaisuja, jotka toimivat myös silloin, kun töissä on kiire, kalenteri natisee liitoksistaan ja elämä tarjoilee tavaraa vähän joka suunnasta.LinkitOptimal Performance- Hyvinvointiluennot ja verkkovalmennukset: https://www.optimalperformance.fi- Kuntosali ja valmennuskeskus, Helsinki: https://www.opcenter.fi

Mitä oikeasti kannattaa syödä, jos haluaa pysyä mahdollisimman pitkään terveenä? Entä kuinka paljon ruokavaliolla lopulta voidaan vaikuttaa siihen, sairastuuko sydän- ja verisuonitauteihin, tyypin 2 diabetekseen tai muihin elintapasairauksiin?Tässä Väkevä Elämä -jaksossa puhumme ravitsemuksesta, terveistä elinvuosista ja siitä, millaisilla ruokavalion valinnoilla on tutkimusten perusteella oikeasti merkitystä. Samalla erotellaan olennaiset asiat ravitsemuskeskustelun loputtomasta kohinasta: tarvitseeko kaikkea mitata ja optimoida vai pääseekö pitkälle laittamalla muutaman tylsän, mutta toimivan perusasian kuntoon?Jaksossa pureudumme muun muassa kolesteroliin ja verenpaineeseen, proteiinin määrään, lihan ja lihajalosteiden eroihin, prosessoituun ruokaan, kuituun, kahviin ja alkoholiin. Puhumme myös siitä, miksi yksittäisen ruoka-aineen demonisointi tai yhden terveysmarkkerin tuijottaminen vie helposti harhaan ja miksi kokonaisuus ratkaisee yleensä enemmän kuin yksittäinen banaani, kananmunan keltuainen tai einespaketti.Jaksossa vieraana kanssani keskustelemassa ravitsemusterapeutti, filosofian tohtori ja dosentti Jaakko Mursu. Jaakolla on pitkä kokemus ravitsemuksen, terveyden, painonhallinnan ja urheiluravitsemuksen tutkimuksesta sekä käytännön asiakastyöstä.

Miksi työpäivä voi olla aamusta iltaan täynnä tekemistä, mutta päivän päätteeksi tuntuu silti siltä, ettei mitään tärkeää tullut valmiiksi? Entä miksi tehokkuuden lisääminen voi joskus tehdä työstä sekä tehottomampaa että kuormittavampaa?Tässä Väkevä Elämä -jaksossa puhumme kestävästä työtahdista, keskittymisestä, työn kuormittavuudesta ja siitä, miten tieto- ja ajatustyötä voisi tehdä fiksummin ilman, että pääkopasta yritetään puristaa jatkuvasti vähän enemmän kierroksia.Jaksossa pureudumme siihen, miksi jatkuvat keskeytykset, liian monta yhtäaikaista projektia, viestitulva ja loputon metatyö syövät sekä suorituskykyä että tuottavuutta. Puhumme priorisoinnista, palautumisesta, etätyöstä, tekoälystä ja siitä, miksi ratkaisu kiireeseen ei välttämättä ole nopeampi tekeminen vaan vähemmän asioita kerrallaan ja enemmän oikeasti tärkeiden asioiden loppuun saattamista.Jaksossa vieraana kanssani keskustelemassa valmentaja, kouluttaja ja tietokirjailija Sami Paju. Sami on perehtynyt tieto- ja ajatustyön tehokkuuteen ja tuottavuuteen noin 20 vuoden ajan ja valmentanut aiheesta organisaatioita yli vuosikymmenen. Hänen tuore Kestävä työtahti -kirjansa kokoaa periaatteita siihen, miten työstä voisi tehdä yhtä aikaa vaikuttavampaa, tuottavampaa ja ihmiselle kestävämpää.LinkitOptimal Performance- Hyvinvointiluennot ja verkkovalmennukset: https://www.optimalperformance.fi- Kuntosali ja valmennuskeskus, Helsinki: https://www.opcenter.fiSami Paju- Kotisivut: https://samipaju.com- Kestävä työtahti -kirja: https://www.tuumakustannus.fi/Sami-Paju/Kest%C3%A4v%C3%A4-ty%C3%B6tahti.html- LinkedIn: https://fi.linkedin.com/in/samipaju

Eurídice Hernández Gomes es una investigadora brasileña que vive en Helsinki, en Finlandia. Actualmente realiza sus estudios de doctorado en la Universidad de Helsinki sobre el espacio público y la pertenencia entre cross-cultural kids. Como funcionan como lugares de encuentro entre grupos diferentes: gente de diferentes edades, de diferentes trayectorias o geografías. Hablamos de identidades, migración, integración, jóvenes y de la comunidad latinoamericana en la diáspora, en este caso, en Helsinki. Esta entrevista es parte de las listas: Espacios habitables, Brasil, Finlandia, inmigración y diseño, Bibliotecas, Ciudad y diseño e Investigación en diseño.

A lot of people are asking about my thoughts on the argument from vindicatory Catholic miracles. You know, those miracle claims that the average Catholic scholar has little concern with. Today, I will give you some of my thoughts on the topic. CreditsHost: R.T. Mullins (PhD, University of St Andrews; Dr. Habil.

Miksi niin moni voi huonosti aikana, jolloin meillä on enemmän tietoa, palveluita ja hyvinvointikeinoja kuin koskaan? Entä olemmeko yrittäneet ratkaista liian monia yhteiskunnallisia ongelmia korjaamalla yksittäisiä ihmisiä?Tässä Väkevä Elämä -jaksossa puhumme mielenterveydestä, työuupumuksesta, terapiakulttuurista ja siitä, miten ympäröivä yhteiskunta vaikuttaa siihen, miten me voimme. Miksi ahdistuksesta tulee helposti diagnoosi? Miksi uupuneelle työntekijälle tarjotaan mindfulnessia, vaikka ongelma saattaisi olla työssä? Ja mitä tarkoittaa ajatus siitä, että terapiayhteiskunnan sijaan tarvitsisimme terapeuttisemman yhteiskunnan?Jaksossa pohdimme myös modernin elämän nurinkurisuuksia: liikumme vähemmän, olemme enemmän yksin ja saamme enemmän ärsykkeitä kuin ehkä koskaan aiemmin. Puhumme työelämän kiihtymisestä, yksinäisyydestä, somesta, luonnosta, arkiympäristöstä sekä yksilön ja yhteiskunnan vastuusta. Pointti ei ole, ettei ihmisellä olisi vastuuta omasta elämästään vaan se, että hyviä valintoja olisi aika paljon helpompi tehdä ympäristössä, joka ei jatkuvasti työnnä vastakkaiseen suuntaan.Jaksossa vieraana kanssani keskustelemassa psykologi, yhteiskunnallinen vaikuttaja ja tietokirjailija Julia Sangervo. Julia työskentelee MIELI ry:ssä asiantuntijapsykologina ja on yksi Psykologian vallan kumous – Irti terapiakulttuurista -teoksen toimittajista.LinkitOptimal Performance- Hyvinvointiluennot ja verkkovalmennukset: https://www.optimalperformance.fi- Kuntosali ja valmennuskeskus, Helsinki: https://www.opcenter.fiJulia Sangervo- Kotisivut: https://www.juliasangervo.fi- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/juliasangervo/- Kirja: https://vastapaino.fi/sivu/tuote/psykologian-vallan-kumous/5536759

Vanaf september tot ver in 2027 is het in de Europese Unie één grote electorale achtbaan. En ook elders zijn verkiezingen die grote impact hebben op de toekomst van Europa. Wat speelt er, waar moet je op letten? Wat is de impact op Europa en op Nederland als lid van de 'E6', de groep van grootste EU-economieën? Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger nemen je mee naar kiezers van Mecklenburg-Voor-Pommeren tot Andalusië en van Helsinki naar de Povlakte. *** Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken.

Al die verkiezingen in het komend seizoen raken veel meer dan de nationale politiek per lidstaat. Koers, stabiliteit en machtsverhoudingen in de EU en de Europese houding naar Moskou, Kyiv, Beijing en Washington staan nadrukkelijk in het centrum bij de impact van de stembusstrijd. Duitsland Al direct in september wordt gestemd in drie oostelijke deelstaten. Megastad Berlijn, ruraal Saksen-Anhalt en Oostzeeland Mecklenburg-Voor-Pommeren. CDU en SPD premiers moeten hier overeind zien te blijven tegen de AfD in opmars in hun 'Heimat' van 'Ostalgie'. In Berlijn is alles in flux. Zelfs Die Linke kan hier de overwinnaar worden. De impact kan dan ook seismisch zijn. Met dramatische effecten voor het overleven van Friedrich Merz als bondskanselier in een CDU met nadrukkelijk alternatief leiderschap. En met gevolgen voor de presidentsverkiezing in januari 2027. Komt er een vrouw uit Beieren? Of Karin uit Amsterdam? Polen Donald Tusks Burgerforum kreeg een cadeau in aanloop naar de campagne. Zijn grootste opponent, radicaalrechts PiS, viel in brokken uiteen. Dat betekent allerminst dat een electorale triomf verzekerd is. Een onverwachte coalitie kan de uitkomst zijn. Een sterk resultaat voor Tusk zou een opsteker zijn voor Kyiv, voor Péter Magyar in Boedapest en voor de machtige EVP in Brussel. Spanje De machtsstrijd tussen de conservatieve Partido Popular (EVP) en de sociaaldemocraten zal hier heftig zijn. Overlevingskunstenaar op links Pedro Sanchez staat onder druk, maar vlak hem nooit uit. De PP heeft sterke papieren, maar kan gedwongen worden tot een gedoogconstructie met het radicaal-rechtse Vox. Dan zou de EVP-overwinning tegelijk labiel bewind opleveren. Let daarom goed op het overleven van links in Catalonië en hoe stevig de PP scoort in Andalusië én Madrid. Daar moet het voor hen gebeuren. Italië Giorgia Meloni evenaart Silvio Berlusconi als stabiele, lang zittende premier. Toch moet je haar electorale probleem niet onderschatten. Haar partij kan winnen door coalitiepartner Lega van Matteo Salvini op te slokken, maar een van hem afgesplitste radicaal-rechtse generaal; een volkse houwdegen, kan haar tegelijk aanhang kosten. Berlusconi’s partij blijft overeind en kan als pro-Europa middenpartij de doorslag geven. Essentieel zal zijn: wie blijven gedemotiveerd thuis en wie belonen Meloni om haar karwei af te kunnen maken? Frankrijk De zomer leek stil en politiek onbeweeglijk. Achter de schermen is Emmanuel Macron bezig met een ragfijn spel om in de winter de wat saaie premier Sébastien Lecornu voor het Élysée te lanceren. De radicaal-linkse Jean-Luc Mélenchon lanceert een wild plan - geen gezeik, iedereen rijk - om de staatsschuld weg te toveren. En de rest van links voert burgeroorlog. Nederland Provinciale Statenverkiezingen die de verhoudingen in de Eerste Kamer bepalen. Ook hier onzekere verhoudingen. Rob Jetten kan alvast aantekeningen vergelijken met Merz, Macron en Sanchez, zozeer lijken de verhoudingen dwars door de machtige E6-landen op elkaar! Het Hoge Noorden Zweden en Finland stemmen nu snel na de recente Deense verkiezingen. Sociaaldemocraten zouden ook hier met brede coalities kunnen winnen en dan EVP-premiers doen struikelen. Interessant is of en hoe zwaar Poetingezind radicaalrechts hier verliest en of hard-links wint. Rusland De Doema wordt gekozen, de repressie is ongekend. Vladimir Poetin wil mandaat voor mobilisatie terwijl de Russen zijn 'In drie dagen valt Kyiv'-oorlog beu zijn terwijl ze in de rij staan voor brandstof. Zal een lage opkomst zijn nederlaag de facto laten blijken? De midterms Hun impact kan uitzonderlijk zijn. Voor Donald Trumps heffingen en handelsoorlogen, voor de NAVO, voor Canada en de EU, voor het perspectief van ASML. Let op verrassingen in staatjes als Iowa, Maine en Kansas. En let altijd op in Texas en Wisconsin. Gaat daar een frisse wind uit het midden waaien? En let op 'Abdul' in Michigan en 'Jon' in Georgia, gedegen natuurtalenten van een nieuwe generatie. 2028 is is ineens in beeld. *** Verder luisteren 604 – D66 en CDA hadden in de kabinetsformatie te veel haast, daardoor gaat het nu zo stroef 602 – De enkelband van Jordan Bardella 581 - Péter Magyar brengt Hongarije terug in het hart van Europa 575 - Nederland staat niet langer op het menu, maar zit aan tafel 571 - Het kabinet-Jetten in een geopolitieke orkaan 567 - De geschiedenis beukt op Europa's deur.

Jeff and Jim open with the unavoidable topic of AI agents and the tension between enabling innovation and governing agent permissions, then run through a packed fall conference schedule. The August mailbag pulls questions from Singapore, Toronto, Prague, Johannesburg, Helsinki, and Seoul. They discuss when externalized authorization makes sense, why passkey recovery can become the weak link in phishing-resistant authentication, what EU digital identity wallets may mean for enterprises, how continuous access evaluation changes the meaning of terminating access, and how to build resilience around a centralized identity provider without creating a second full-scale IdP.

In the fifth, and thankfully final, update from Helsinki, James and Silvia return to provide their inimitable take on the sessions from Thursday with a look ahead to Friday's sessions. They find themselves looking well beyond the last day, as James speaks with Dr Ina Knerr about preparations for the SSIEM 2027 meeting in Dublin. James gets yet another geography lesson and we hear from a bumper helping of conference attendees finally keen to discuss their posters. So long Helsinki, it's been wonderful.

In our recent conversation about Protecting Workers? Crisis, COVID-19 and South Asia, the editors Kanchana N. Ruwanpura and Wilfried Swenden reflect on the need to move beyond treating the pandemic as a singular, isolated shock. Our discussion reflected on the deeper mechanics of knowledge production, how we reflect on crisis beyond its immediate occurrence, how we conceptualize South Asia today, and the process of bringing such a dynamic volume together. A central theme was the necessity of examining crisis as a revealing, prolonged condition rather than a temporary disruption. The COVID-19 pandemic exposed pre-existing structural vulnerabilities across Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. Theorizing through this moment meant examining how state strategies and worker realities collided when formal safety nets faltered, forcing us to rethink South Asia not merely as a fixed geographic region, but as a shared space of cascading socio-economic pressures and labor struggles. While this volume traces state policy and institutional shifts, the core strength of the volume lies in highlighting the resourcefulness and claim-making capacities of workers fighting for justice. Assembling these regional perspectives provides a critical blueprint for rethinking state-society relations, labor rights, and collective action in post-pandemic South Asia.

Why have Finland's biggest multinationals teamed up to create a globally unique analysis hub just to decode the future of China? Meet the analysts who are nurturing the next generation of Finnish expertise to bridge the gap between Nordic business and Chinese policy. In this episode, Julie Yu-Wen Chen at the University of Helsinki talks to Kevin Broady, Marleena Makkonen and Anton Karppanen, three analysts from the China Office of Finnish Industries to understand their mission. The China Office of Finnish Industries acts as a unique nonprofit designed to assist Finnish multinational corporations in navigating the complex geopolitical and economic landscape of the People's Republic of China. Established in 2022, the organization provides deep strategic analysis on shifting Chinese industrial policies, labor market trends, and the inherent risks of doing business in an increasingly politicized global market. Their work focuses on helping companies understand growing political complexities amid trade tensions while adapting to China's growing influence on international trade. The office is also dedicated to nurturing the next generation of Finnish China analysts through a specialized trainee program for university students. By bridging the gap between academic expertise and corporate decision-making, the team fosters a more sophisticated understanding of how Chinese domestic developments impact Nordic prosperity. Julie Yu‑Wen Chen is Professor of Chinese Studies and Director of the Master's Programme in Area and Cultural Studies at the University of Helsinki in Finland. Her new book, Global Knowledge Production about China, explores how the practice of “China‑watching” has evolved over the decades. The book is freely accessible online.

Hosts Silvia Radenkovic and James Nurse return to introduce the first 'proper' day of the SSIEM 2026 meeting. In addition to highlighting some of the unsung highlights of Day 1 (lab proficiency testing anyone), Silvia makes her case as a mentor and James speaks with Dr Narmin Aslanzade and Dr Leman Alirzayeva about IMD services in Azerbaijan and the posters they're bringing to SSIEM 2026. As always, Silvia and James would love to hear from you so if you're at the meeting and want to shout about your poster, please get in touch.

Dr. Greg Wilson Mantilla is a Professor in the Department of Biology, Adjunct Professor in Department of Earth & Space Sciences, Curator of Vertebrate Paleontology at the Burke Museum, and Director of the DIG Field School at the University of Washington. He is also a Research Associate at the University of California Museum of Paleontology. His research explores the evolution of mammals that lived alongside dinosaurs and how mammals have diversified over time. Remarkable fossil discoveries have revealed that these early mammals were far more diverse than once thought, including species adapted for digging, climbing, gliding, and even feeding on small dinosaurs. Outside of science, Greg enjoys staying active, spending time with his family, and following sports. Playing soccer has long been a favorite pastime, and Greg now enjoys coaching his two children. He also enjoys watching soccer and other sports, working out, reading, traveling, and relaxing with movies and TV shows. Greg received his B.A. in Human Biology from Stanford University and his Ph.D. in Integrative Biology from the University of California, Berkeley. Afterwards, he received an NSF Fellowship to conduct postdoctoral research at the University of Helsinki. Before moving to the University of Washington, Greg was Curator of Vertebrate Paleontology at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science. Greg was awarded the Raymond M. Alf Award for Excellence in Paleontological Research & Education from the Raymond M. Alf Museum of Paleontology, and he received the University of Washington's Bergstrom Award for Art and Science (with Ari Rudenko). In this interview, Greg shares more about his life and science.

The "podcast no one asked for" is back as hosts Silvia Radenkovic and James Nurse preview the 2026 SSIEM Annual Meeting, and they are joined by meeting chair Risto Lapatto to discuss what goes in to arranging an international IMD conference, the sessions he doesn't want to miss and why you have to try a sauna. We want to hear from you across the week so if you've got a poster in Helsinki please get in touch and we will find you!!

We then swap our rustic cabin for a lakeside resort, complete with swimming pool, saunas, paddleboards, canoes and plenty of opportunities to embrace Finnish mökki life.Day 10 is all about slowing down: breakfast, paddleboarding, drone flying, swimming, reading, a run through the local trails and, naturally, plenty of sauna time. We also sample some Finnish pastries and enjoy an excellent final dinner at the resort.Finally, we head to Mikkeli before returning the hire car and taking the train to Helsinki Airport. Along the way, I reflect on the entire Finland trip, including Helsinki, Route 62, the Finnish Lakelands, cabin stays, driving in Finland, costs, and why Finland might just be one of the easiest countries in the world to travel around.And, of course, there's a final introduction to the Finnish way of life: mökki life, saunas, nature, no internet and simply switching off.Finnish Lakelands AccommodationKuvalusdream Chalet - https://www.booking.com/hotel/fi/kuvalusdream.en-gb.html?label=affnetcj-11916287_pub-5108952_site-101051909_pname-Go+Travel+Un+Limited_clkid-3495d2d3e2334d21a223e3101-370217_cjevent-5b07c05f9dc911f1823700330a82b838&utm_source=affnetcj&utm_medium=bannerindex&utm_term=index-11916287&utm_campaign=xx&aid=818288&ucfs=1&arphpl=1&checkin=2026-08-22&checkout=2026-08-23&adplat=www-homescreen-recently_viewed_carousel-stays-n_a-n_aSaimaanranta Resort by Anttolanhovi - https://www.booking.com/hotel/fi/lake-saimaa-resort-mikkeli.en-gb.html?label=affnetcj-11916287_pub-5108952_site-101051909_pname-Go+Travel+Un+Limited_clkid-3495d2d3e2334d21a223e3101-370217_cjevent-5b07c05f9dc911f1823700330a82b838&utm_source=affnetcj&utm_medium=bannerindex&utm_term=index-11916287&utm_campaign=xx&aid=818288&ucfs=1&arphpl=1&checkin=2026-08-22&checkout=2026-08-23&adplat=www-homescreen-recently_viewed_carousel-stays-n_a-n_aSupport Winging It Travel PodcastIf you enjoyed this episode:⭐ Leave a 5-star rating or review on your podcast app☕ Support the show at buymeacoffee.com/wingingit

Guest Marcello Pacifici shares his experiences of bikepacking in some of the most isolated places in the Nordics. Originally from Rome in Italy, Marcello now calls Helsinki home. He got into riding bikes as a cheap way to get around the city, then expanded that to bikepacking as a way to discover Finland. His first bikepackign trip was 800kms and would take him all the way to Finnish Lapland.  He's since taken many other adventures including time spent on the Arctic Post Road  as well as three weeks spent riding in Iceland. When snow blocked the roads on the Iceland Divide Route, Marcello changed his plans and cycled the Westfjords Way. More recently he has just completed a solo journey on teh Faroe Islands. A place he says needs to be seen to be believed and which left him feeling he was standing on the edge of the world. You can follow Marcello's future adventures via his instagram - @WhereIsMarcello and read his ride reports via his substack blog  Check out the Elkhorn Rack from Old Man Mountain Support the showBuy me a coffee!I'm an affiliate for a few brands I genuinely use and recommend including:

AI is becoming a matter of national strategy, as countries seek more control over their own technology. Our Heads of U.S. Public Policy Ariana Salvatore and Global Thematic Research Stephen Byrd look at the race for AI sovereignty and its implications for investors.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Ariana Salvatore: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Ariana Salvatore, Head of U.S. Public Policy Research at Morgan Stanley. Stephen Byrd: And I'm Stephen Byrd, Head of Global Thematic Research at Morgan Stanley. Ariana Salvatore: Today, we'll be talking about AI sovereignty, what it means, what countries around the world are doing to advance their own goals, and what a more fragmented AI ecosystem could mean for investors.It's Thursday, August 20th at 2pm in New York. Stephen Byrd: And it's 9pm in Helsinki. Ariana Salvatore: As AI becomes more powerful and therefore more important to the global economy, countries are asking a basic question: How much of it do we need to control ourselves? That's at the heart of AI sovereignty, making sure governments around the world can access the computing power, data, energy, and technology they need even as geopolitical tensions may rise. Stephen Byrd: And that seems to fit into a broader trend we've been talking about for some time, a more multipolar world where governments are increasingly willing to intervene in markets around strategically important technologies. Ariana Salvatore: Exactly. We describe this as a potential ‘two worlds dynamic.' The U.S. and China have been gradually de-risking from one another, particularly in advanced technology. We've already seen policy tools, including export controls, tariffs, and incentives for domestic manufacturing. And as AI becomes more strategically important, our expectation is for policy intervention to increase rather than decrease. But what's interesting is that the U.S. and China aren't necessarily pursuing sovereignty in the same way. Stephen Byrd: So, let's unpack that. Can you start with the U.S.? What does the American approach look like? Ariana Salvatore: Yes. We think the U.S. is trying to do two things at once, basically. On one hand, it wants to preserve national security guardrails around some of the most sensitive AI capabilities. But on the other hand, it has an incentive to make sure the American AI tech stack is broadly available to allies and partners. So, there's an inherent tension there between those two objectives. Obviously, if you restrict access too much, you can encourage other countries to develop alternatives,. But if you allow unrestricted access, policymakers may begin to worry about losing control over strategically important technology. So, the way that we chart this is through a middle path. We think the direction of travel looks less like complete technological separation and more like selective access – tighter controls around sensitive capabilities alongside an effort to maintain the global reach of the U.S. AI ecosystem. Stephen Byrd: Whereas China's approach is more focused on building out an indigenous ecosystem. Specifically, we see policymakers in China pursuing greater self-sufficiency across the AI stack, from chips and computing infrastructure to cloud and models. Our China strategists argue that bifurcation could actually increase China's incentive to build a larger China-compatible AI ecosystem abroad, particularly across the Global South and other markets that aren't firmly aligned with the U.S. ecosystem. China's model emphasizes lower-cost models, open weight ecosystems, subsidized compute, cloud partnerships and infrastructure exports. So, the competition could increasingly be about not only which country has the most advanced model, but which ecosystem can achieve the widest adoption. Ariana Salvatore: That's right, and that brings us back to this idea of two worlds. So, Stephen, is the implication here that we're going to be heading toward two completely separate AI systems? Stephen Byrd: Not necessarily, I'd say. You know, the supply chains are still deeply interconnected, so our research does not suggest a sudden decoupling. But we could see greater duplication and less globally fungible infrastructure. Countries may increasingly want compute located domestically or regionally. Sensitive data may need to stay within particular jurisdictions, and companies may need different cloud cybersecurity or distribution arrangements in different markets. And that means the same global level of AI demand could require more physical infrastructure than it would in a completely integrated world. Ariana Salvatore: So, fragmentation, like other themes within multipolarity, are more economically inefficient. But potentially pretty important for the investment cycle. We think sovereign AI can make the system more redundant and more capital-intensive as a result. Our research teams think there are potential beneficiaries from that across semiconductors, data centers, networking, power, cloud, cybersecurity, and infrastructure software. Let's look at data centers specifically. If governments and enterprises increasingly require local hosting and greater control over sensitive data, you will inevitably need more geographically distributed infrastructure. Colocation operators, we think, can benefit because they provide the power, cooling, space, security, and interconnection that can allow customers to keep workloads in specific jurisdictions. So, the fragmentation we're talking about may introduce inefficiency at a system level while simultaneously creating incremental infrastructure demand. Stephen Byrd: And there's another constraint here that we probably shouldn't overlook, which is energy. Compute ultimately needs power. So, access to reliable, affordable electricity becomes part of a country's competitive position in AI, which ties into our politics of energy theme that we outlined in January of this year. But as we've also noted, that creates a political constraint. Our thematic work has highlighted rising concern around the impact of data center growth on power prices and on local infrastructure. This has really shown up in a big way in the U.S. And that can mean more pressure to protect existing rate payers, more emphasis on low-cost power. And greater interest in behind-the-meter or off-grid power solutions that allow data centers to secure electricity without putting the same pressure on the grid. Ariana Salvatore: Which suggests that there's a cost, in fact, to AI sovereignty as well. Stephen Byrd: Absolutely. And if countries want more domestic compute, duplicated infrastructure, localized supply chains, and greater redundancy, the system may become more resilient, but potentially more expensive – and we're certainly seeing signs of it being more expensive. Compute and power are already constrained in many markets. Add to that regulatory requirements, localization, and potential restrictions on technology transfer, and reducing dependence can carry an inflationary cost. So, for investors, I think the question isn't simply whether sovereign AI increases spending. It's also where that spending has to occur, what gets duplicated, and which parts of the stack become strategically indispensable. Ariana Salvatore: So, Steven, to frame this for investors, the way we see this theme unfolding suggests that sovereign AI reinforces rather than undermines the broader AI CapEx cycle. We think competition between the U.S. and China is intensifying. Countries outside those two ecosystems increasingly will want greater national resilience and flexibility. And that combination can support additional spending on compute, data centers, networking, and power for years to come. Lastly, an increasingly important question is who controls and supplies that infrastructure, energy, standards, and supply chains that will allow those models to operate at scale? Stephen Byrd: And that may ultimately be the most important thing to watch. Sovereign AI is another example of geopolitics moving directly into the technology investment cycle and potentially changing not only where AI gets built, but how much infrastructure the world needs to build it. Ariana Salvatore: Steven, we'll leave it there. Thanks so much for joining me. Stephen Byrd: Great to be here, Ariana. Ariana Salvatore: And thanks for listening.

The aim of this part of the trip is simple: get away from the cities, slow down and experience a traditional Finnish summer.The first two nights are spent in a tiny cabin in the woods at Kouvalas Dream Chalet, right beside a lake and complete with its own jetty, boat and, most importantly, a huge wood-fired sauna.Getting there is part of the adventure, including a short journey on a free motor launch after the paved road eventually comes to an end!Once we're settled in, it's time to embrace mökki life: cooking dinner, sitting beside the lake, rowing the boat, swimming, reading, flying the drone and spending plenty of time in the sauna. It's about as far removed from Helsinki city life as you can get.Day eight is particularly special. With clear skies, calm water and barely another person around, we get out onto the lake and experience exactly the kind of Finnish summer we'd imagined before the trip. There's even time to finally get the drone into the air after owning it for two years — resulting in some spectacular footage of the cabin and lake.We also get into what mökki actually means and why these small countryside cabins are such an important part of Finnish summer culture. After two nights, it feels like we've experienced our own little slice of that lifestyle.It's peaceful, it's remote, it's rustic — and it's exactly what this part of the Finland trip was supposed to be.Things of Interest

Between 2018 and 2024, the turnover of Portuguese games companies went from around 5 million to nearly 100 million. In this episode, Kalie Moore sits down with Jefferson Valadares, Co-Founder and CEO of partNerd and President of the Portuguese Association of Game Development Companies, to unpack whether a country long known for exporting its best talent can become a home for original IP. Jefferson has seen the industry from nearly every seat, as Studio GM at EA, Executive Producer at BioWare, Head of Mobile at Bandai Namco, and a board member at Rovio before its sale to Sega. They explore what the AAA years taught him about when to spend and when to wing it, why big companies keep funding games they already know won't work, and what he learned running studio acquisitions at Fortis Games about why most deals quietly lose their value.The conversation also goes inside partNerd, the four-person studio he's building now, and why they're making an original co-op game exclusively for Nintendo Switch 2. Jefferson explains the thinking behind designing for asymmetric skill levels so parents, kids, and non-gamers can play together, why GameShare shaped their commercial model, and how hard it is for veteran developers to unlearn best practice and build something genuinely new. He also revisits Doppio, his early bet on voice as a gaming platform, and the timing that led to selling to Fortis in late 2021. Along the way he lays out the Helsinki parallel he sees playing out in Lisbon, why the hardest gap for emerging ecosystems is product rather than engineering or art, and what he thinks the industry is underestimating about the generation that grew up on Roblox and Minecraft rather than GTA.This episode is brought to you by Appcharge, the payments platform built specifically for mobile gaming that processes over a billion dollars annually.
