Voice as a Vital SignYour voice holds more data than you realize. Subtle changes in tone and rhythm can reveal early signs of depression, anxiety, or even cognitive decline.2. Objectivity Through AICanary Speech uses vocal biomarkers to turn speech into measurable data, giving clinicians objective insight where surveys and self-reporting fall short.3. New Frontiers in TelehealthVoice analysis can run quietly in the background of virtual visits and smart devices, creating a noninvasive way to monitor mental and physical health between appointments.4. The Challenge of ChangeHealthcare moves slowly. Adoption depends on awareness, trust, and showing how accessible technology like this can ease strain on overburdened systems.5. A Future Built on ListeningIn time, voice may join heart rate and blood pressure as a standard vital sign. It can help detect disease earlier and make care more personal, not less.

Today Razib talks to repeat guest Steve Hsu about China, a topic with so many currently relevant dimensions gIven the PRC's clear emergence as an economic, military and political rival to the US. Hsu is a Caltech‑trained theoretical physicist who migrated from black holes to big data, co‑invented privacy tech at SafeWeb, helped found the biotech company Genomic Prediction, all while remaining a prominent public voice on genetics, intelligence and the future of human enhancement. He is also a professor of physics at Michigan State, and from 2012-2020 was vice president for research and graduate studies there. Razib and Hsu discuss whether China is innovating and how meanwhile American regulation and culture are stifling its domestic creativity. A proud Iowan, Hsu rebuts the notion that he is pro-China, seeing himself simply as a realist convinced that it is important to face the PRC head on and assess its strengths candidly. He and Razib talk about China's demographic headwinds. Hsu points out the reality of demographic inertia. The generation already born in the 21st century is an abundant young workforce who will power the nation's rise for the next 30-40 years; that disastrously plummeting fertility making headlines today is a concern post-dated for at least a generation down the road. They also discuss the quality of Chinese higher education, and the reality that the population today is far more educated than it was 25 years ago. Hsu also talks about possible cultural and biobehavioral differences between East Asians and Europeans, and addresses why South Asians seem to be better adapted to succeed in American corporate culture.
In Episode 218 OF GROWING OLDER LIVING YOUNGER, Dr. William Hsu, endocrinologist and Chief Medical Officer at L Nutra, joins Dr. Gillian Lockitch to explore the science behind fasting mimicking diets (FMD) and how they may lower biological age, fight chronic disease, and boost metabolic health. You'll hear how simple lifestyle interventions, when structured and supported, can trigger the body's natural repair systems—and why healthspan, not just lifespan, should be the goal of aging well. Dr. William Hsu is a Harvard-trained endocrinologist who spent 20 years at Harvard's Joslin Diabetes Center before joining L-Nutra in 2019 as Chief Medical Officer. At L-Nutra, he leads clinical development and drives education around fasting and the Fasting Mimicking Diet. Previously, he served as Vice President at Joslin, leading international education and healthcare advisory efforts, helping to shape national diabetes care guidelines. Dr. Hsu's research focuses on diabetes pathophysiology and digital health in chronic care. He earned degrees from Cornell and Mount Sinai, completed his Internal Medicine residency at Yale, and his Endocrinology fellowship at Harvard, where he was later an Assistant Professor. Episode Timeline: 0:00 – Introduction and Podcast Overview Host Dr. Gillian Lockitch introduces the theme for 2025: “Age is just a number.” She frames the episode around exploring strategies to extend healthspan—the years of life spent in good health—and invites listeners to book one-on-one sessions. 2:12 – Meet Dr. William Hsu Gillian introduces her guest, Harvard-trained endocrinologist Dr. William Hsu. Formerly with the Joslin Diabetes Center, Dr. Hsu now leads clinical efforts at L- Nutra, pioneering fasting-mimicking nutrition science. 4:50 – Lifestyle Change: More Than Just Willpower Dr. Hsu explains why lifestyle interventions often fail without structural support. He acknowledges the essential role of medications but stresses the need for more systemic, pragmatic solutions to improve public health. 9:29 – Why Modern Life Challenges Healthy Living The conversation turns to the external forces—processed foods, advertising, time scarcity—that sabotage health. Dr. Hsu advocates for societal-level interventions and introduces fasting mimicking diets (FMD) as a practical tool. 12:24 – What is a Fasting Mimicking Diet? Dr. Hsu defines the FMD as a plant-based meal plan that tricks the body into a fasting state while providing nourishment. He explains how FMD promotes autophagy, cellular renewal, and metabolic reset. 28:23 – Clinical Trials: Reversing Biological Age Dr. Hsu cites a Nature Communications study where FMD reduced participants' biological age by 2.5 years in just three cycles. He explains how biological age is measured and why it's a more powerful indicator than the number on your birthday cake. 31:53 – Can You Track Your Own Biological Age? Gillian and Dr. Hsu discuss current tools for measuring biological age and where the science is heading. Dr. Hsu shares how consumers can access FMD kits and programs in various global regions. 33:14 – FMD and Diabetes Management Dr. Hsu shares compelling data showing how FMD can reduce visceral fat, insulin resistance, and blood sugar levels—attacking the root of type 2 diabetes and reducing reliance on medication. 36:09 – El Nutra's Comprehensive FMD Program Dr. Hsu describes a complete support system for FMD users, including medical oversight, apps, coaching, and lab tracking. The program is already in use in the U.S., UK, and Italy, and expanding. 39:22 – Final Thoughts: Healing Through the Right Environment Dr. Hsu emphasizes the body's innate ability to rejuvenate when supported by evidence-based nutrition like FMD. Gillian closes with a call to action: explore the tools discussed to take control of your aging journey.

Send us a textOn this episode of Speaking Of…College of Charleston, we sit down with President Andrew T. Hsu to reflect on highlights of the year. From reaching an all time high of 32,000 applicants to establishing new academic programs like the BA in entrepreneurship, Hsu talks about his drive to keep moving, full speed ahead, to ensure the College's position as a leader of academic excellence.Some key achievements in the last year include the reorganization of STEM programs into two schools; the School of Natural and Environmental Sciences and the School of Engineering, Computing, and Mathematics. "Splitting stems into these two schools gives our university more precision, more flexibility and certainly more visibility across diverse scientific and technological domains, while still allowing for interdisciplinary collaboration," says Hsu.President Hsu emphasizes the importance of liberal arts education for developing durable skills in graduates to make them competitive in the work force. "When I talk with industry leaders, they are looking for graduates, not just with just technical skills, which can be learned on the job, but they want people with durable skills such as communication, creativity, teamwork, problem solving, emotional intelligence and a global mindset. These skills will help our students stay relevant far into the future. And and those are the types of graduates we're producing across disciplines."He reflects on proud moments from the year, including the college's national visibility and events such as the College of Charleston Orchestra's performance at one of the most prestigious stages in the world — Carnegie Hall.“Each of these moments showcase how amazing our university is. Truly, extraordinary events happen here at the College of Charleston every single day,” says Hsu. We are not going to argue.Resources From This episode:College of Charleston Orchestra at Carnegie HallA Year in Review President Hsu's Instagram and X Accounts
Strategic planning in higher education isn't just about setting goals—it's about building the kind of stakeholder engagement and leadership alignment that can drive lasting institutional change. In this episode of Changing Higher Ed® podcast, Dr. Drumm McNaughton speaks with Dr. Andrew T. Hsu, President of the College of Charleston, about how a collaborative planning process helped increase enrollment, launch new academic schools, and move the college toward national university status. Drawing on his background in both industry and higher education, Dr. Hsu shares insights into balancing urgency with collaboration, the importance of faculty engagement, and the realities of leading strategic change within shared governance environments. This conversation is especially relevant for presidents, boards, provosts, and leadership teams navigating strategic growth, governance challenges, or long-range institutional transformation. Topics Covered: How strategic planning anchored the College of Charleston's enrollment growth and academic expansion Why broad faculty engagement strengthens institutional resilience and accelerates change Lessons from balancing urgency for change with the realities of shared governance How industry experience shaped Dr. Hsu's leadership approach in higher education Governance missteps: What happens when leadership bypasses consultation—and how to correct course Long-term growth planning and the move toward national university status Real-World Examples Discussed: College of Charleston's creation of Schools of Health Sciences, Natural and Environmental Sciences, and Engineering, Computing, and Mathematics The enrollment surge from 11,000 to 32,000 applications annually under Dr. Hsu's leadership Policy changes at Charleston to formalize academic reorganization processes after early challenges Three Key Takeaways for Leadership: Build stakeholder ownership early: Strategic planning must involve faculty, staff, students, alumni, and governing boards to ensure success. Respect governance processes: Even well-intentioned leadership actions can falter without proper consultation and transparency. Balance urgency with collaboration: Sustainable change in higher education requires leaders to move decisively while honoring shared governance culture. This episode offers practical strategies for institutions seeking to strengthen their strategic planning efforts and drive sustainable growth through collaborative leadership. Recommended For: Presidents, provosts, trustees, board members, strategic planning leaders, and senior administrators focused on institutional transformation and governance alignment.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 85-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 19,424 on turnover of $2.4-billion N-T. Shares in Taiwan extended their losses Thursday from a session earlier, falling more than 120 points, as market sentiment remained cautious ahead of an investor conference scheduled by contract chipmaker TSMC to start after the market closes. Stocks outside the tech sector also largely moved in the doldrums (低迷) amid uncertainties caused by tariff threats by Washington. Lai calls for more trade cooperation with NZ amid global challenges President Lai Ching-te is urging New Zealand to expand trade and business opportunities with Taiwan. Speaking during a meeting with a visiting New Zealand parliamentary delegation, Lai said both sides can work together to "explore even more diverse markets" - such as smart agriculture, food manufacturing, biomedicine, the digital economy and clean energy. Lai also called for Taiwan and New Zealand should deepen cooperation and jointly advance their economies and industrial development in the face of global challenges. There have recently been calls for the government to seek market diversification (多樣化) for Taiwan products in the wake of levies imposed by the United States on Taiwanese goods earlier this month. Pro Go player Lin Chun-yen claims long-awaited HaiFong title Nine-dan Go player Lin Chun-yen has captured his first Hai-Fong Tournament title after 16 years on the professional-circuit. He beat 6-dan Hsu Ching-en in the final match of a best-of-three series held at Taipei's Hai-Fong Go Association. It marked Hsu's third consecutive runner-up finish at the annual tournament, which is one of eight major titles in Taiwan and the season opener for the domestic pro Go circuit. The victory was the 27-year-old's first major pro title in Taiwan in nearly three and a half years. Lin's next target is the Taiwan Mei-Jin title, where he faces 8-dan pro Chen Qi-rui in a best-of-three semifinal series. US Judge Rules Google Broke Antitrust Laws A federal judge has ruled that Google broke antitrust laws by maintaining an illegal monopoly in the digital advertising space.

Italy Cable Car Accident Leaves Four Dead Officials in southern Italy say that a cable car carrying tourists south of Naples has crashed after the cable snapped, killing at least four people and critically injuring one. Italy's alpine rescue was responding to the accident on Monte Faito on Thursday. The cable car accident happened just a week after the destination (目的地) reopened for the season. The cable car at Castellammare di Stabia is popular for its views of the Mount Vesuvius volcano and the Bay of Naples. Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni expressed her condolences for the victims and their families and said she was in touch with rescuers. She was in Washington, where she met with U.S. President Donald Trump. Researchers Find Possible Chemical Signs of Life on Faraway Planet Astronomers have detected possible chemical signs of life on a faraway planet. But they caution much more work is needed to confirm their findings. The research, led by scientists at the University of Cambridge, found evidence of compounds (化合物) that on Earth are only produced by living organisms on the planet known as K2-18b. The planet is 124 light-years away. One light year is equivalent to about 9.5-trillion kilometers. Scientists not involved in the research describe the findings as interesting, but not nearly enough to show the existence (存在) of life on another planet That was the I.C.R.T.

In the new comedy "Laid," Stephanie Hsu plays Ruby Yao, a 33-year-old single woman who is searching for a perfect love story, however she finds herself at the center of a mystery when her exes begin dying. Hsu joins us alongside co-creator Nahnatchka Khan to discuss the series, streaming on Peacock.
Stephanie Hsu broke through—and landed her first Oscar nomination—three years ago in Best Picture winner ‘Everything Everywhere All at Once.' That film had some oddball laughs for sure, but if you had only seen her in the dual roles of the diminutive Joy Wang and villainous Jobu Tupaki, you would have no idea she was capable of playing a classic rom-com lead like she does in the new Peacock series ‘Laid.' In this episode, Hsu talks about how a background in comedy helped prepare her to portray a deeply flawed character who discovers that all of the men she has slept with are dying and why getting cast in the show felt like a “huge step” in the fight for representation on TV. She also gets into the wild journey from her audition for ‘Everything Everywhere' to the Oscars, explains why she turned down the chance to possibly play Glinda in John M. Chu's ‘Wicked,' and teases her upcoming buddy comedy with ‘Abbott Elementary's' Quinta Brunson.Follow Stephanie Hsu on Instagram @stephaniehsuofficial Follow Matt Wilstein on Bluesky @mattwilstein Follow The Last Laugh on Instagram @lastlaughpod and Threads @lastlaughpodHighlights from this episode and others at The Daily Beast Hosted on Acast.

Ginkgo Village: Trauma and Transformation in Rural China (Anu Press, 2023) provides an original and powerfully intimate bottom-up perspective on China's recent tumultuous history. Drawing on ethnographic and life-history research, the book takes readers deep into a village in a mountainous region of central-eastern China known as Eyuwan. In the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, villagers in this region experienced terrible trauma and far-reaching socio‑economic and political change. In the civil war (1927–1949), they were slaughtered in fighting between Nationalist and Communist forces. During the Great Leap Forward (1958–1961), they suffered appalling famine. Since the 1990s, mass labor outmigration has lifted local villagers out of poverty and fueled major transformations in their circumstances and practices, social and family relationships, and values and aspirations. At the heart of this book are eight tales that recreate Ginkgo Village life and the interactions between villagers and the researchers who visit them. These tales use storytelling to engender an empathetic understanding of Ginkgo Villagers' often traumatic life experiences; to present concrete details about transformations in everyday village life in an engaging manner; and to explore the challenges and rewards of fieldwork research that attempts empathetic understanding across cultures. Tamara Jacka is an Emeritus Professor in the College of Asia and the Pacific, The Australian National University. A feminist social anthropologist, her main research interests are in gender, rural-to-urban migration and social change in contemporary China. She is the author of Rural Women in Urban China: Gender, Migration, and Social Change (2006), which won the Francis L.K. Hsu prize for best book in East Asian Anthropology. Yadong Li is a PhD student in anthropology at Tulane University. His research interests lie at the intersection of economic anthropology, medical anthropology, hope studies, and the anthropology of borders and frontiers.

Hardin-Simmons came out of Saturday with another big, signature win, its second in as many weeks. The Cowboys keep exorcising those demons, this time coming up with their first win in Mary Hardin-Baylor's Crusader Stadium. What's it like to have beaten Mary Hardin-Baylor pretty impressively but also know that that's a good team on the other sideline that you have to play again this season? Do you hold anything back in your playbook for a second meeting? HSU coach Jesse Burleson joins us to talk about that and a few other things on Fast Five. Plus, of course, another week of wackiness in the WIAC, and we'll talk through all of that mess, as well as the big showdown between Grove City and Carnegie Mellon. GCC coach Andrew DiDonato talks about that key win for his Wolverines. We'll whip you through the big games in Division III from this past weekend. Plus, who's having fun in the 1? Who's looking for something new in the 2? Who's running free in the 3? Who's looking for to restore the roar in the 4? Who's looking alive in the 5? And, who's got something to fix in the 6? To see a list of all the teams talked about in this podcast, look at the list at the bottom of the post. Math Correspondent Logan Hansen talks about the three biggest playoff leverage games for Week 7, plus gives his usual snapshot for how those top eight seeds are looking. Has Mount Union crept into the Top 8 yet? Remember, this is based on projection of how the season will play out and of course, teams with harder schedules might have a harder time making the top eight because they might not actually win all their games. We also hand out game balls to the top performers, pick out the stats of the week, and run through region by region to get some of the other stories you might have missed. And since that never seems to be enough, Greg and Patrick have to pick one more region to tell one more story about on the fly. There's that and so much more in this week's podcast, so give it a listen! The D3football.com podcast is a weekly in-season podcast by Patrick Coleman and Greg Thomas, which was started in 2007. New episodes are published weekly during the season.
