This is a special audio interview for all listeners! As there was no Spotlight interview earlier this year, I have produced this 'extra' Spotlight for the month of May. I hope you enjoy it. :)David W. Kim (PhD: University of Sydney) is a Honorary Lecturer at the School of History and the Research School of Social Sciences (RSSS), Australian National University, a Mission Specialist at the ANU Institute for Space, and a Visiting Scholar, Harvard University, USA (2023-2024). He is a Board Member for UNESCO World Heritage Committee, Korea Government, an Associate Professor at Kookmin University, Seoul, and a NASA Judge for the Human Research Program (HRP), Johnson Space Center Huston, USA.Professor Kim, a Fellow of The Royal Historical Society (UK) and The Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britian and Ireland, has conducted a new study on the selection criteria for future Mars astronauts (2033) in conjunction with the Human Research Program (HRP), which remains an open question in the Mars exploration project as part of the Korea Research Foundation's long-term project (2022- 2025) in the field of integration of space science and humanities, as a result of a research visit to Harvard University and NASA Houston, human factors, astrobiology, astrophysics, life sciences, space politics, security, space exploration, and space well-being, and has been recognized as a pioneering study among scholars in the field. In this interview, Dr. Kim first discusses the phenomenon known as the ‘Overview Effect', a profound cognitive shift that astronauts experience when they see Earth from space. It's described as a state of wonderment and self-transformation that occurs upon witnessing the Earth as a fragile, interconnected whole. Many astronauts report feeling an overwhelming sense of unity, beauty, and a newfound appreciation for humanity and the environment. He then moves on to discuss his article, “Mars Space Exploration and Astronautical Religion in Human Research History: Psychological Countermeasures of Long-Term Astronauts” from 2022 in the journal Aerospace. He expands on the challenges and issues that arise when considering long-term space travel (of at least 3 years), such as radiation, zero-gravity, isolation, confinement, the distance from Earth, and emergencies that could arise, as well as the potential for an “astronautical religion” to help mitigate or prevent these challenges.

The epic journey begins! The Bowery Boys Podcast heads to old Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands, to find traces of New Amsterdam, the Dutch settlement which became New York.We begin our journey at Amsterdam's Centraal Station and spend the day wandering the streets and canals, peeling back the centuries in search of New York's roots.Our tour guide for this adventure is Jaap Jacobs, Honorary Lecturer at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland and the author of The Colony of New Netherland: A Dutch Settlement in Seventeenth-Century America.Jaap takes us around to several spots within the old medieval city -- Centrum, including the Red Light District -- weaving through the canals and along the harbor, in search of connections to New York's (and by extension, America's) past.This year marks the 400th anniversary of Dutch settlement in North America, led by the Dutch West India Company, a trading and exploration arm of the thriving Dutch empire. So our first big questions begin there:-- What was the Dutch Empire in 1624 when New Netherland was first settled? Was the colony a major part of it? Would Dutch people have even understood where New Amsterdam was?-- What's the difference between the Dutch East India Company and the Dutch West India Company?-- To what degree was New Amsterdam truly tolerant in terms of religion? Was it purely driving by profits and trading relationships with the area's native people like the Lenape?-- The prime export was the pelts of beavers and other North American animals. What happened to these thousands of pelts once they arrived in Amsterdam?-- How central were the Dutch to the emerging Atlantic slave trade? When did the first enslaved men and women arrive in New Amsterdam?-- And how are the Pilgrims tied in to all of this? Had they always been destined for the area of today's Massachusetts?Among the places we visit this episode -- the Maritime Museum, the Rijksmuseum, Amersham's oldest building Oude Kirk, the Schreierstoren (the Crying Tower) and many morePLUS: We get kicked out of a cloister! And we try raw herring sandwiches.Visit our website for images and more information

Physicians' engagement has long been regarded as a critical component for effective performance in healthcare organisations. The World Health Organization highlights that low- and middle-income countries such as India must increase coverage of priority health services to accomplish health-related sustainable development goals. While the majority of hospital CEOs in India are physicians, the opposite is the case in the UK and in both countries MD MBA graduates are rare. In the National Health Service, there are increasing efforts to involve physicians in senior management teams and to encourage flexible and portfolio working. Our research project findings provide valuable insights into inequalities, (quiet) quitting, and medical career crafting to understand medical leadership development and engaging physicians in institutional decision-making to improve clinical outcomes. Speakers include: Professor Julie Davies, Director at UCL's MBA Health programme in the Global Business School for Health Dr Kamal Gulati, Honorary Lecturer at UCL Global Business School for Health
Miranda Mowbray is one of Britain's leading thinkers on the ethics of Artificial Intelligence. After a long and distinguished career as a research scientist with HP, she is now an Honorary Lecturer in Computer Science at the University of Bristol where she specialises in ethics for AI, and data science for cybersecurity. In our wide-ranging conversation, Miranda breaks down the definition of AI ethics into its many constituent parts – including safety, transparency, non-discrimination and fairness. She tells us that there's probably too much focus on the dire predictions of AI ‘doomers' and not enough on the more immediate, but less apocalyptic outcomes. On a lighter note, Miranda reveals her personal mission to change the world, and shows off a sculpture that she had commissioned, based on the imaginings of generative AI. You can watch a video of our interview with Miranda here: https://youtu.be/tbnHxbM5ZR8
Richard Burley, Executive Director of Digital talks with Professor Shah about how digital technology can support child health, and how paediatricians can embrace it - with a dose of healthy scepticism. Professor Sam Shah is Chief Medical Strategy Officer at men's health company, Numan, and Honorary Lecturer at University College London's Global Business School for Health. He spoke at RCPCH Conference 2023 with a session titled, 'Could healthcare technology address the challenges in child health? Richard Burley here at the College was fortunate to be in the audience and invited Sam to discuss further. As Sam notes on the podcast, there is no shortage of technology from mobile apps to wearables. But, he says there's a challenge, especially as we look to reduce anxieties: "...how we try and make the environment of child health - really, the treatment end - more accessible to children, young people and their families. And also less imposing, less scary. Especially that moment when families will be scared about accessing treatment, when children will be in unfamiliar environments." Sam and Richard talk about examples where digital technologies, particularly augmented and virtual reality, are making a real difference. They consider the unique experiences of children and young people as patients, and the differing needs of communities around language, culture and digital maturity. They step into the thorny issues on privacy, security and safety - and how digital tech intersects with real-life clinical care. Sam finishes with practical advice on how paediatricians can identify, evaluate and use digital technology in their practice. Download transcript

This lecture will present findings which show that dreaming is not in fact isomorphic with REM sleep, and that it is generated by a part of the brain that is deeply implicated in emotion, motivation, and memory. Recent findings will also be presented from an ongoing study which is seeking to establish that the biological function of dreaming is actually quite practical and uncomplicated. --- This session was recorded as part of our "Day on Transpersonal Psychotherapy" in November 2021.

If you've been increasingly hearing about children being diagnosed with ADHD, it's not because kids are eating too much sugar or spending too much time on gadgets. It's because we're getting better at recognising and understanding this neurodevelopmental condition, and how it affects different facets of children's behaviours, learning and social skills. Yet, many myths and misconceptions about ADHD persist, creating barriers for individuals with ADHD and their families when it comes to accessing support and interventions. We break down these myths with Dr Sharifah Shameem Agha, Honorary Lecturer in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry from Cardiff University.Image Credit: Shutterstock

Welcome to another exciting episode of Tech Talk with OptimalRx, the final podcast in our diabetes trilogy. Join Kristin and Julianne as they chat with New Zealand Phytotherapist, Phil Rasmussen. Phil discusses the potential for phytomedicines to positively impact type 3 diabetes, a newly identified type of diabetes that manifests as insulin resistance within the brain. As type 3 diabetes may impact neurocognition and contribute to the aetiology of Alzheimer's disease, it is valuable to explore the role of phytomedicines in this condition and their ability to promote brain health and cognition via unique mechanisms and pathways.Other podcasts in this series include: Diabetes – Understanding the Renal and Cardiovascular ConnectionPhytomedicines for Type 2 Diabetes wth Carrun Squires---Phil has practiced as a phytotherapist in Auckland for 27 years.

Get early access to our latest psychology lectures: http://bit.ly/new-talks5 The ‘hard problem' of consciousness is very topical in neuroscience today. It asks why our brains, which function unconsciously for the most part, require consciousness at all. It also asks how the subjective stuff of experience can be inserted into our mechanistic account of brain functioning. There seems to be no place or need for subjective experience in the physical universe. In this talk, Mark Solms will outline the novel approach to this problem that he has taken in his recent work as reported in his new book, the Hidden Spring: a journey to the source of consciousness. The argument begins with the claim that it is a mistake to take human cognition as our model example of consciousness. Why tackle the problem from its most complex end? If we begin with the simplest forms of animal consciousness, he argues, the ‘hard problem' becomes less hard. -- Professor Mark Solms is best known for his discovery of the forebrain mechanisms of dreaming, and for his pioneering integration of psychoanalytic theories and methods with those of modern neuroscience.

Today I speak to Chartered Psychologist and Associate Fellow of the British Psychological Society, Honorary Lecturer in Psychology at University College London, Clinical Hypnotherapist and author of The Book Perspectives in Male Psychology – John Barry PhD. With mental health and specifically male mental health under the spotlight like never before its a hot topic of discussion. Rates of male suicide are still high and the challenge of how to address mental health problems in men prevail. But what if we were to take a different and unique approach as to how we address the difficulties men face? One that is specific to the needs of men? John and I discuss: How men's studies and social reconstructionists view masculinity as a social construct that needs "fixing" rather than embracing the inherent and unique differences in men. Why men are drawn towards methods of therapy that are more solution based and rational rather than going continuously over their feelings. The problem of psychologists trying to blame and train masculinity out of men. Gamma Bias and how it highlights the accolades of women whilst ignoring the same achievements of men. The massive importance of valuing dads, their involvement in a child's upbringing and the benefits of mum and dad being present in a child's upbringing.

In this episode, we talk about male psychology and mental health. We start by talking about the clinical goals of studying male psychology and sex differences, and the biases that usually contaminate research in this area. We discuss some issues with guidelines for practice with boys and men. We talk about how we go about integrating different perspectives on male psychology (evolutionary, biological, social, humanistic). We ask to what extent being masculine is important for male well-being. We get into some of the issues that affect men more than women, like substance abuse, suicide, homelessness, and singlehood, and how father absence affects development.

My guest this week is John Partridge, Honorary Lecturer in Linguistics at the University of Kent. John came to Canterbury from Bavaria in 1977 where he had taught English. We talk about how we once bumped into each other at a Gerry and the Pacemakers gig and about broaching conversations with idols. John tells us about his PhD on performative verbs and we discuss whether new forms of language have arisen since lockdown, and we learn why John is disinclined to use social media conventions. We discover that John didn’t profit as much as he could have done from living in Liverpool. We find out that he had a happy time growing up in Sutton Coldfield and doing lots of outdoor activities e.g. mountaineering, and John discloses why he is quite a parochial kind of person. We learn that he meets up with friends from sixth form once or twice a year and we talk about how places mean different things to different people. John discusses his experience of seeing The Kinks, The Who and PP Arnold perform at Liverpool Union and about how one’s children tend to do things which we don’t necessarily understand. We learn that John didn’t grow up with a TV or record player, that he was good at languages at school, and originally wanted to be a fighter pilot. He recalls playing snooker on a tiny table and talks about how he doesn’t get politically active. We learn which party he has never voted for and we find out about his views on activism. John reveals how he has had some wonderful experiences which he would hate not to have had and he shares his thoughts on how the university profession is not as rounded as it could be. John tells us about his dilemma around diaries and we learn why in his mind John still considers himself to be 16. Then, at the end of the interview, we find out whether John is a looking back or a looking forward kind of person. Please note: Opinions expressed are solely those of Chris Deacy and John Partridge and do not necessarily represent the views or opinions of the University of Kent.

Social distancing introduced many challenges for blind people, including shopping with fewer people guiding you, and little access to online shopping slots. A petition from blind organisations called for recognition that while blind people may not be more susceptible to Covid-19, more help is needed. We look at the latest pronouncements on vulnerable people and shopping from government. And we've more in our series on how different parts of the nation are delivering emergency eye care with less face to face contact. Dr Iain Livingstone, Consultant Ophthalmologist and Honorary Lecturer at University of Strathclyde takes us into a consultation which has been made possible by new investment by the Scottish Government. It allows remote access to eye scans in designated emergency eye care centres - and we hear a patient being examined by smartphone. And you may have noticed there are a lot of fitness experts urging us to get up and move at the moment. But how do you join in if you can't see what they're doing? Jane Taylor of the You Tube Channel If Ginger Can do it joins us to explain how you can keep fit and stay in. Presented by Peter White Produced by Kev Core

She is a master trainer in DISC behavioural profiling, a CPCAB trainer in Stress management and Wellbeing, a certified trainer in Resilience, a Mental Health First Aider, and an Honorary Lecturer of the University of Liverpool. She was awarded “Life Coach of the year 2015” at the International Coaching Awards, became an honorary Fellow of The Coaching Academy in 2016 and a founding member of the Coaching of Excellence accreditation in 2019. So basically - when it comes to building a fulfilled career in veterinary science, or anywhere for that matter - you'll want to hear what Carolyne has to say.Carolyne is passionate about helping others equip themselves with the tools and strategies to get the most out of their personal and professional lives. After successfully running her coaching and training business for several years, Carolyne now works as a training consultant with the Veterinary Defence Society training team in the UK developing, training and coaching individuals, teams and practices to be the best they can be and to thrive both personally and professionally. In 2017 she proved how much she loves a challenge by running 10 marathons in 10 days raising over £100,000 for the Brooke charity. Not bad for someone who only ran her first marathon in September 2016! Outside of work Carolyne is a wife of a vet, mother of 2 small children and what she describes as “a keen runner'. We cover a wide range of topics in our conversation with Carolyne, like some the most common problems that she encounters with her clients and her favourite solutions to these problems, building resilience and self- awareness, why coaching is important and who it's for, and of course: how to prepare for running 10 marathons in 10 days when you have a business to run and two young kids, and, more importantly, why you'd want to do it in the first place. Carolyne also answers a tricky listener question about a situation that many of our listeners will have to deal with at some point in their careers.

It's an age-old question: how do we get people to do what we want them to do? Well, if you're the government, you might leverage the social security system and withhold payments as punishment, or as “encouragement”. ANU social policy academic Dr Katie Curchin finds this method problematic, and argues instead for a social security system that treats people with greater respect and decency. She's looked in particular at the 'No Jab, No Pay' policy. In this episode, Katie talks about ways that not only governments, but we as individuals, could have greater success promoting certain behaviours without using carrots or sticks. There are lessons for both improving vaccination rates, parenting – and much more. ... Dr Katherine Curchin is a Lecturer in Social Policy within the ANU Centre for Social Research and Methods and an Honorary Lecturer in the ANU School of Philosophy. Her research explores the extent to which policy can and should aim to change the behaviour of people living in poverty. Her published writing contributes to international debates on topics such as the ethics of welfare conditionality and nudging. From 2014 to 2018 she worked at the Centre for Aboriginal Economic Policy Research where she held an ARC DECRA which enabled her to examine rival visions of Indigenous Australians’ relationship with the Australian welfare state. She is an editor of the Australian Journal of Social Issues and she has published in international journals such as the Journal of Political Philosophy, the Journal of Social Policy, the International Political Science Review and Women’s Studies International Forum. Read her Policy Space blog post ‘How Much Behavioural Conditionality is Too Much?’, which relates to this episode’s discussion. … The theme music for Better Things is “One More Time” by Fab Beat. Better Things is a production of the ANU College of Arts and Social Sciences. It’s produced by Evana Ho. You can find us on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram @ANUCASS.
