Hello voices from the bench community, John Wilson here and I wanted to share some news about the evolution of the Programill lineup. Most importantly, Ivoclar's new PrograMill 7. What stands out right away is the reduced air consumption this mill requires, but what you'll notice first is that impressive new touchscreen. For us, the biggest advantage has been increased spindle power. Next time you see your Ivoclar representative, be sure to ask about the PrograMill 7 and tell them John Wilson sent you. Thank you. At exocad Insights in beautiful Mallorca, we finally caught up with Felix from Imagine USA—and the timing couldn't have been better. As an exocad dealer on the front lines of digital dentistry, Felix shared his excitement about the strong turnout, the familiar faces, and most importantly, the innovation coming from exocad. What stood out most? The new exocad Hub and its cloud-based capabilities, along with powerful AI-driven tools inside DentalDB designed for efficient batch processing. For Felix and the Imagine team, it's not just about seeing what's new—it's about putting it to the test. By running new features through their own production facility first, they ensure real-world performance before bringing solutions to their customers. This week, Elvis and Barb continue their coverage from exocad Insights 2026 in beautiful Mallorca, Spain, where the conversations are just as valuable as the lectures. The episode starts with Dr. Zhiqiang Luo, who shares his perspective on educating the next generation of dentists in an increasingly digital world. The discussion explores how students are adapting to technology, why foundational analog skills still matter, and the challenge of preparing future clinicians for workflows that continue to evolve at a rapid pace. It's an insightful look at where dental education is headed and how digital dentistry is becoming second nature to new graduates. The conversation then shifts to one of the most memorable encounters from the event as Elvis and Barb sit down with Alyson Bravo, a passionate dental technician from Brazil who has traveled across the globe to attend exocad Insights. What starts as a discussion about digital workflows quickly turns into a story about chasing dreams, making connections, and experiencing the international dental community firsthand. Alyson talks about discovering digital dentistry, teaching himself advanced design techniques, and the excitement of finally meeting people he has only known through podcasts, social media, and online education. The episode wraps up with returning friend of the podcast Tobias Specht from Ivoclar. Fresh off several major product announcements, Tobias gives listeners an inside look at the collaboration between Ivoclar and exocad and how customer feedback continues to shape product development. He discusses the integration of Ivotion into the exocad workflow, the importance of training and education, and how Ivoclar works with customers around the globe to refine new products before they ever reach the market.Special Guests: Alyson Bravo, Dr. Zhiqiang Luo, and Tobias Specht.

The Australian building industry is shifting fast, and in this episode, we discuss what that really looks like on the ground. From economic pressure and labour shortages to changing technology and AI-driven disruption, this is an honest conversation about the reality of running a building business in a market that feels increasingly uncertain. If you are a builder in Australia, a construction business owner, or part of the wider residential construction industry, this episode will likely hit close to home.A big focus in this discussion is pre-construction and the hidden work that happens long before a project starts on site. We talk about planning, pricing, quoting, revisions, and the challenge of helping clients understand the real value of that early-stage work. In an industry where construction margins, project costs, and builder pricing are under pressure, these conversations matter. Better outcomes in the Australian construction industry start with clearer expectations and a more honest understanding of what good building actually takes.We also get into the mental and emotional side of staying in the game. When projects fall over, confidence drops, and the market feels shaky, builders need more than technical skill to keep moving forward. This episode explores builder resilience, construction industry challenges, and the importance of protecting your health, your mindset, and your business through difficult seasons. It is a grounded conversation for anyone navigating the pressure of running a building company in Australia right now.We also talk about why industry events and communities still matter, including the Passive Haus Conference, the Sustainable Builders Alliance, and the value of learning from other builders, designers, and architects who want to lift the standard.

Elvis actually made it down to the exhibition halls this year — and hyperDENT from FOLLOW-ME! Technology was everywhere. Booth after booth, people were talking milling strategies, templates, and workflows. It felt like a full-on CAM takeover. Their Milling Roadmap scavenger hunt had attendees bouncing between Axsys, Imagine, D.O.F., and Roland collecting stamps like responsible adults… Responsible adults chasing a bright orange folding electric hyperDENT scooter. That's what we love about the FOLLOW-ME! team — world-class CAM engineers talking microns and validation protocols one minute, then ripping around Lab Day the next. Serious about precision. Not too serious about themselves. Big shoutout for bringing the brains — and the electric horsepower.

First up is industry veteran Rob Fletcher, who shares the story behind ACES (Automated Case Entry Software)—a system designed to eliminate one of the biggest bottlenecks in dental labs: manually entering handwritten prescriptions. Drawing on years of lean manufacturing experience running labs like Knight Dental Group and Bayshore Dental Studio, Rob explains how combining OCR and AI can read RX forms, learn lab terminology, and automate case entry directly into an LMS. The result? Faster workflows, fewer data entry headaches, and one less department that labs have to constantly hire and retrain. Then the conversation shifts to collaboration and innovation as Don Bell and Andreas Klie discuss a new partnership between Ivoclar and Panthera Dental. They break down how Panthera's Fusion Bar technology works with Ivoclar materials to simplify full-arch workflows while improving precision, aesthetics, and efficiency. The team also dives into the education behind the technology, the launch of the Panthera Academy, and how collaboration between companies—and listening to technicians—helps push the industry forward.

Good morning from Pharma and Biotech daily: the podcast that gives you only what's important to hear in Pharma e Biotech world. GSK has entered a partnership with Hengrui worth up to $12 billion, focusing on the COPD candidate HRS-9821. The FDA's new voucher policy has caused confusion among experts, as it lacks clear definition and was announced without public input. The American Medical Association urges RFK Jr. to maintain the preventive task force, and Sarepta denies a patient death is linked to Elevidys as the FDA launches a probe. Biopharma companies are leaning towards holistic treatments for Alzheimer's, while Atai-partnered schizophrenia drug fails in a mid-stage trial.

Bonus content - wickedproblems.earth As we talked about with folk from Carbon Technology Research Foundation and Robert Höglund last week, Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) is going through some things. The Trump administration is slashing funding for Direct Air Capture (DAC) hubs, poster child CDR firm Climeworks is laying off 20% of staff and stands accused of overpromising an underdelivering on removals.But in a week when a Swiss village was wiped off the map by a collapsing glacier, and the World Meteorological Organisation predicted we're likely facing years of staying at 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels - the existential threshold for small island states they demanded be included in the Paris Agreement - the need to find ways to take greenhouse gases out of the air (while electrifying and decarbonising) has not gone away.Cara Maesano has one of the most comprehensive views of the state of CDR technologies as the head of CDR research at RMI. Recent reports she helped craft point out pragmatic opportunities for joined-up thinking by integrating carbon removals in industry and agriculture - and even using captured carbon in building materials.In Conversation01:30 Challenges in the Direct Air Capture Sector07:54 Exploring Different Carbon Removal Technologies12:06 Industrial Carbon Removal Opportunities23:40 Industry Partnerships for Carbon Removal24:03 Economic Benefits of Carbon Removal25:41 Momentum in Climate Action27:50 Innovative Building Materials for Carbon Storage32:44 Engaging Stakeholders in Carbon Removal33:28 Highlighting Successful Carbon Removal Projects35:13 Challenges and Opportunities in Policy and Regulation37:25 The Ongoing Climate Conversation38:52 Connecting Climate Solutions Across Sectors42:20 Conclusion and Final ThoughtsFurther ReadingRMI: Seizing the Industrial Carbon Removal OpportunityRMI: Harnessing Carbon Removal Opportunities in Biomass Residue Building ProductsThe CO280 project Cara mentioned at a pulp and paper mill Hosted on Acast.

On this episode of Destination on the Left, I talk with Kristi Gole, EVP of Strategy at Global Hotel Alliance (GHA), about the importance of collaboration and how the alliance helps these hotels compete against the world's largest brands. Kristi shares examples of brand partnerships that GHA's loyalty program has allowed them to start with complimentary luxury brands, and she gives us a great formula for evaluating partnership opportunities. What You Will Learn in This Episode: How GHA became the largest alliance of independent hotel brands and the benefits this provides to its members. Why the GHA Discovery loyalty program was transformed into “Discovery Dollars” and how this new approach is more rewarding for members. What strategies Kristi Gole used to attract high-net-worth customers and enhance customer engagement. How the collaborative environment within GHA helps independent hotel brands compete globally, share best practices, and grow. Why Kristi values deep relationships over standard partnerships and how aligning with like-minded partners can lead to successful collaborations. What key technological and operational challenges GHA faced, and how ensuring tech compatibility is crucial for a seamless customer experience. A Collective Strength in Hospitality Formed in 2004, GHA's mission was to aid independent hotels in competing globally against large hotel chains. Today, it's the largest alliance of independent hotel brands, comprising 40 brands and 800 hotels across 100 countries. This alliance offers a collaborative platform for these brands to share resources, best practices, and cross-promote services. The alliance provides tools and platforms for independent hotels to remain authentic while benefiting from a larger network. This unique value proposition has enabled GHA member hotels to retain their independence and character while being part of a valuable global support system. How Strategic Partnerships Elevate the Customer Experience A core aspect of GHA's strategy is building deep, strategic partnerships that enhance customer offerings. The collaboration with Regent Seven Seas Cruises, for example, attracted high-net-worth customers by offering Discovery Dollars usable at hotels. Launched publicly in 2010, the GHA Discovery loyalty program was designed to provide customer value, encourage cross-promotion, and increase bookings through profitable channels. In 2021, GHA revamped the loyalty program into “Discovery 2.0,” transitioning from a points-based system to a cash-back model called “Discovery Dollars.” This shift aimed to make rewards more accessible and appealing to a broader audience. Scaling and Innovating for the Future GHA plans to continue expanding and iterating on the Discovery Dollar currency. With a goal of reaching 100 million members, the focus remains on signing new brands and growing their partnership network. Kristi emphasized the importance of aligning with partners with a similar mindset and targeting the same luxury segment. She shares why GHA looks for partners who are agile, entrepreneurial, and approachable.

How to choose a healthier salt and cooking oil. Synopsis: Every first Wednesday of the month, The Straits Times helps you make sense of health matters that affect you. Singapore is planning to introduce Nutri-Grade labelling for salt, sauces and seasonings, instant noodles and cooking oil. These are labels that will allow consumers to tell at a glance how healthy they are. The products will be graded A to D – with D being the least healthy choice, having the highest levels of sodium and/or saturated fat, among other possible nutrients. The mandatory Nutri-Grade label has been successfully used on pre-packaged and freshly prepared beverages. Drinks that exceed a threshold of sweetness are graded C and D, and there are also prohibitions on advertising such beverages that are grade D. Still, it would appear easier for someone to cut down on sugary drinks, or even eliminate them, than it is to significantly reduce the intake of sodium and saturated fats as savoury foods can form a big part of our diets. Will this new labelling requirement truly benefit us, and what should we watch out for, when it comes to maintaining healthier diets in the meantime? ST senior health correspondent Joyce Teo finds out more from the president of the Singapore Nutrition Dietetics Association, Dr Kalpana Bhaskaran. She is the deputy director of Industry Partnerships and the head of the Glycemic Index Research Unit at the School of Applied Science at Temasek Polytechnic. Highlights (click/tap above) 2:29 The taste test: what's the difference between potassium salt and table salt? 3:08 Watch out for hidden sodium 6:59 Salty tolerance for the elderly is much higher 10:39 What exactly are saturated fats? 13:17 How to pick out a healthier cooking oil? 15:13 Is there any truth to the claim that coconut oil is actually good for health?

Michigan State University has a newly renovated School of Packaging building, following a fundraising campaign that raised more than $10 million. Upgrades to the facility, which was last updated in 1986, will help MSU remain a leader in the packaging field. The School of Packaging Building renovation helps to modernize teaching and learning by adding flexible classrooms that seamlessly integrate technology. Collaboration-friendly spaces invite industry partners to engage with students, and the modernized facilities will attract faculty by providing the proper space and tools to conduct world-class research. The Lansmont Corporation extended its investment in packaging durability testing and research by donating test and measurement technologies for the Lansmont/PPT Group Laboratory. Their in-kind equipment donations include a TruMotion Acceleration Sled system, updated data acquisition system, vibration table controller and software, shock table and controller, as well as next generation SAVER units. Matt Daum is the director of MSU's School of Packaging. And MSU alumnus Eric Joneson is vice president of technology for Lansmont. They talk about what makes MSU's School of Packaging the leader in packaging education. They discuss the packaging building renovations and how they will enhance that educational experience. They talk about challenges and opportunities ahead for the packaging industry, too, and give reasons why young people should consider careers in packaging. Conversation Highlights: (0:46) – “Most people have not heard of packaging or don't know that you can actually get a degree in packaging.” (5:09) – “The people at the Naval Post Graduate School got in communication with Dr. James Goff here at Michigan State and wondered if this whole methodology or approach that works for testing and building better or more robust communications equipment and electronics for military applications, why wouldn't it work for commercial, off the shelf products?” (7:21) – “We really felt it was important for us to update our facilities to enhance the way that we teach and to be a focal center point and something our alumni can be proud of.” (11:12) – “This is a very pivotal time in the history of packaging and in particular this field of distribution packaging.” (14:02) – “It's important to know about each of those three things: product, environment, and packaging. The three of those have to work together and complement one another to deliver products of quality to consumers.” (18:27) – “There's a little bit of science. There's a little bit of art. There's a little bit of communications. There's a little bit of business. For those who have curious minds and like to connect different ideas and disciplines together, we offer that in our program.” (20:47) – “It's not atypical to be in Brazil, Korea, China, Japan, The Netherlands and walk by a cubicle and see a green “S.” I've probably said Go Green Go White on six or seven continents.
