On this week's program, we are thrilled to bring you a Student Panel on The Pursuit of Equity in Higher Education that concluded the University of Louisville's 2nd annual Gender, Equity & Climate Justice Conference on Tuesday, April 8th, 2025, 10am-5pm, online. This panel features a number of activists from the Student Coalition for Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at the University of Louisville (https://linktr.ee/UofLCoalition4DEI), which started with a small group of concerned students in 2024. UofL Students had seen Kentucky's House Bill 9 and Senate Bill 6—both anti-DEI bills—fail that same year, but they also saw just how invested Kentucky and the nation was in stripping higher education of resources, programs, and support services from marginalized students and university campus workers. They got together in informal settings at first, created a structure and constitution, and then got to work building out the Coalition. Now, the Student Coalition for DEI is composed of sixteen-member student organizations and countless individual students who have engaged in various meetings, events, and direct actions. The Student Coalition for DEI at UofL then expanded to other public universities in Kentucky and started the Kentucky Student Coalition for DEI. Student organizers on each campus collaborated to host a statewide “Day of DEI” on Friday, February 28th, which gathered over 1,000 participants across the Commonwealth. While Kentucky's House Bill 4 is set to become the law of the land by June 30th of this year, the Student Coalition is still committed to preserving equity in higher education, building power at the campus level, and pushing back against measures of overcompliance. Please join us for a riveting panel discussion on how the Student Coalition for DEI has fought for equity in higher education and the future of this struggle under new laws and executive orders. You can read and sign the UofL Coalition Open Letter for DEI at https://actionnetwork.org/forms/uofl-coalition-open-letter-for-dei/ This panel is moderated by Savannah Dowell, and features panelists: Bradley Price, Alexandria Underwood, Jaydon Michalczyk, Alexandria Groves, and Olivia Shams. The Student Coalition for DEI at UofL is a collective of student organizers and registered student organizations at the University of Louisville. We work to uphold, protect, and expand existing diversity, equity & inclusion initiatives at our university and stop proposed legislation and policies that harm our marginalized students and campus workers. UofL's second annual Gender, Equity, & Climate Justice Conference took place virtually on April 8, 2025. At this day-long virtual event, attendees learned from campus and community leaders who are committed to challenging and working to dismantle patriarchy, and other systems of oppression. Highlighted throughout were inclusive leadership approaches and key takeaways to advance social justice and climate justice efforts. This Conference provided a space to come together to learn, discuss, challenge, and unite for a more equitable future for all. The conference was organized by UofL's Women's Center, in partnership with UofL's Sustainability Council and many other organizations.

There are some overvaluation in these stocks that may shock you! Today we discuss concerns over the stock market's high valuations, with a historical P/E ratio of around 17 now sitting at roughly 35, indicating extreme overvaluation comparable to the tech bubble. There is a risk of a potential 50% market correction and those who have only experienced rising markets, may be unprepared for downturns. We talk about the importance of hedging, reassessing portfolios, and understanding that economic conditions, stock markets, and politics do not always align. We discuss...  Current market valuations, with the P/E ratio at historically high levels near 35. A 50% stock market decline would bring valuations back to historical averages. Many investors are overly reliant on continued market growth. Differentiating between politics, the economy, and the stock market, and avoiding emotional investing. Institutional investors shifting into safer assets like short-term treasuries. Highlighted increasing institutional interest in private credit and alternative investments. Investors with capital are preparing opportunistically rather than out of fear, ensuring flexibility to take advantage of market shifts. The US market has dominated for two decades, but historical trends suggest international markets could rotate into favor. European markets have performed exceptionally well this year, with countries like Germany, Spain, and the UK posting double-digit gains. US-centric investing is common, but diversification into international markets is crucial for risk management. The US market is currently underperforming, with the S&P 500 down approximately 8-10% year-to-date. Emerging markets, including India, Mexico, and parts of Africa, are experiencing significant GDP growth. Investors should be cautious with emerging markets due to political instability and economic volatility. A potential 30-40% market correction in the next two years raises concerns about finding safe investment havens. Bonds may not provide the usual refuge if yields and prices continue their current trends. Stagflation could create an unpredictable economic environment, similar to the confusion of the 1970s. The shift from US to international investing remains an ongoing trend, with Europe currently showing strong performance. People often fail to understand market dynamics, where news-driven price movements often lead to selling once the news is out. The U.S. government has declared Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as a strategic reserve but says it won't sell them unless necessary. Markets are unpredictable, with current patterns possibly indicating a topping phase, signaling potential future downturns. The job market shows signs of weakening, with decreasing job openings and increasing layoffs, which could indicate economic challenges ahead.

Highlighted in the latest Georgia Tech Research Podcast episode, hosted by Stephanie Richter, the expo showcased how ATRP continues to drive innovation in poultry production. "IPPE is a fantastic event that allows us to showcase what our great folks do here at GTRI," said Doug Britton, ATRP program manager.

The ATRP booth featured two key projects: the revolutionary poultry rehang shackle system by Dr. Konrad Ahlin and the autonomous chicken house monitoring robot, Go-Bot, led by Colin Usher. Konrad's demonstration focused on improving safety and ergonomics in poultry processing. "We're developing a system for performing the rehang action, simplifying a physically and mentally demanding job," explained Konrad. "Our device allows operators to push the birds onto a rehang mat, reducing the risks associated with manually hanging birds on fast-moving shackles." Meanwhile, Colin Usher's Go-Bot, a fully autonomous ground robot designed to monitor chicken houses and collect eggs, drew significant interest. "It started as a wild idea in 2014," Colin recalled. "The first time we showed it, farmers didn't ask about research—they just wanted to buy it. That blew our minds."

Highlighted cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Solana, and Cardano experienced significant gains following this news, with Rashad noting XRP's impressive 33% rise and Cardano's 60% surge.
