Triggerwarnung: In der Folge geht es um Rassismus. Leider haben wir uns dazu entschieden die aktuelle Folge #228 von allen Plattformen zu nehmen. Grund dafür ist der Schutz der beteiligten Personen. Ihr wisst, dass ein respektvoller Umgang mit allen Involvierten für uns an erster Stelle steht. Nach aktuellen Entwicklungen haben wir die Situation erneut bewertet und uns für diesen Schritt entschieden. Bitte habt Verständnis dafür. Die nächste Folge für euch ist schon in der Vorbereitung. Um die Zeit bis dahin zu überbrücken, haben wir in unserem Archiv eine Episode ausgewählt, die uns sehr lange beschäftigt hat. Es geht um ein Verbrechen, das sich in diesen Tagen zum sechsten Mal jährt und für viele Hinterbliebene und Betroffene schmerzhaft präsent ist. Es geht um den rassistisch motivierten Anschlag in Hanau, den wir aus der Sicht zweier Familien erzählen. Mit der Hoffnung auf eine bessere Zukunft für ihren Sohn haben Vilis Eltern ihre Heimat Rumänien verlassen und sind nach Deutschland gezogen. Diese Chance will der 22-Jährige nutzen, später einmal Lebensmitteltechniker werden und eine große Familie gründen. Bis dahin liefert Vili Pakete aus, um so zumindest vorerst seine Eltern finanziell zu unterstützen. Auch an diesem Tag ist er wieder auf Liefertour als wie aus dem Nichts ein ohrenbetäubender Knall zu hören ist - und dann sieht Vili einen Mann mit einer Waffe direkt vor sich stehen. Etris und sein kleiner Bruder Nesar sind gerade in ihrer Stammkneipe, der Arena-Bar, als sie es von draußen vier Mal laut knallen hören. Die Brüder hatten sich an diesem Abend hier mit ihren Freunden verabredet, um gemütlich ein Fußballspiel zu schauen. Doch jetzt kommt Panik auf. Denn plötzlich tritt ein bewaffneter Mann in den Eingangsbereich. Er ist nicht zufällig hier - er hatte sich genau diese Bar ausgesucht, weil er wusste, wen er hier antreffen würde: sein Feindbild. Sechs Jahre nach dem rassistischen Attentat in Hanau-Kesselstadt sind noch viele Fragen offen: Wieso bekommt ein Mensch, der eine psychische Erkrankung hat, einen Waffenschein ausgestellt? Warum wurden die Notrufe nicht angenommen? Warum war ein Notausgang abgeschlossen? Und was wusste der Vater des Täters? Fragen, die sich auch Etris Hashemi stellt, der mit uns für diese Folge gesprochen hat und dem es - genauso wie allen anderen Hinterbliebenen und Überlebenden - sehr wichtig ist, dass sich solch eine Tat nicht wiederholt und dass die Namen der Toten niemals vergessen werden. **Credit** Produzentinnen/Hosts: Paulina Krasa, Laura Wohlers Recherche: Paulina Krasa, Laura Wohlers, Vera Grün Schnitt: Pauline Korb **Quellen (Auswahl)** Wenn ihr die Initiative des 19.

Sie kommt aus der Gewerkschaftsarbeit, war Arbeitsmarktexpertin – und wurde irgendwann, wie so viele, nicht mehr als Expertin bezeichnet, sondern als Aktivistin. Was das bedeutet, wenn die FPÖ allein in einem Jahr 14 parlamentarische Anfragen über dich und deine Organisation stellt, dein Kindergartenkind zeitweise polizeilich geschützt werden muss und du abends nicht mehr allein U-Bahn fährst – das erzählt sie in diesem Gespräch mit einer Offenheit, die mich beeindruckt und berührt hat. Christina Deckwirth arbeitet bei LobbyControl im Berliner Büro und hat die Angriffswellen auf NGOs und Zivilgesellschaft über Jahre hinweg dokumentiert. Ihr Dreiklang aus Desinformation, Diffamierung und De-Funding beschreibt präzise, wie diese Kampagnen funktionieren – und wie sie sich von Brüssel über Deutschland ziehen, koordiniert, mit denselben Akteuren, denselben Begriffen, demselben Ziel. Wir reden in dieser Folge über: Wie rechte Netzwerke aus Medien wie Nius, Express oder der Welt, Propaganda-Plattformen und politischen Akteuren zusammenspielen Was es bedeutet, wenn Morddrohungen zur Normalität werden – und warum Bagatellisieren von außen so verletzend ist Warum Frauen überproportional im Fadenkreuz stehen Was es kostet, sich juristisch zu wehren – und wer sich das leisten kann Was der Unterschied zwischen Deutschland und Österreich ist, wenn es um Demokratieförderung und rechtliche Klarheit geht Und woher wir trotz allem Zuversicht schöpfen Was mich an diesem Gespräch besonders bewegt hat: Es geht nicht nur um uns, die wir öffentlich sind. Es geht um den Kindergartenverein, der sich nicht mehr traut, beim Stadtfest ein Zeichen gegen Rechtsextremismus zu setzen. Um die kleine Initiative, die Angst hat, ihre Gemeinnützigkeit zu verlieren. Um all die Menschen, die schweigen, weil sie einfach nicht die Ressourcen haben, sich zu wehren. Demokratie braucht Menschen, die sich einmischen. Und die brauchen Schutz, Solidarität – und manchmal auch einfach ein paar Euro.

In her new report (404) Job Not Found: What Workforce Training Can't Fix for Black Atlantans in the Age of AI, Data & Society researcher Anuli Akanegbu provides the first ethnographic examination of how AI-related skills are defined, taught, and valued across Atlanta's growing tech economy. Drawing on interviews, field observations, and historical analysis, she traces how AI literacy is promoted by industry, implemented by government, and interpreted by workers and community leaders navigating an increasingly AI-driven workforce infrastructure.On February 17, Akanegbu, TechEquity Senior Vice President of Labor Programs Tim Newman, and Bard Computer Science Professor Annabel Rothschild held a critical conversation on the policy stakes of AI-focused workforce development at the state and national level. This conversation was  Informed by Akanegbu's report and an accompanying policy brief co-authored by D&S Policy Manager Serena Oduro, who moderated this conversation, panelists discussed how government and industry priorities shape workers' access to opportunity and how policy can address the real-world impacts of automation and AI on workers. Learn more about the eventRead Anuli's reportLearn about Data & Society's 'AI Civics' Initiative

Mit der SRG-Initiative soll die Medienabgabe gesenkt werden. Damit würden Haushalte und Unternehmen entlastet, betonen die Befürworter. Die Gegnerinnen warnen: Die Initiative schwäche den Zugang zu verlässlicher Information. Am 8. März kommt die SRG-Initiative – auch Halbierungsinitiative genannt – zur Abstimmung. Sie verlangt, dass die von allen Haushalten zu entrichtende Medienabgabe auf 200 Franken pro Jahr gesenkt wird. Zudem sollen alle Unternehmen von der Abgabe befreit werden. Das würde gemäss Prognosen des Bundesamts für Kommunikation dazu führen, dass die SRG ab 2029 noch rund 630 Millionen Franken aus der Abgabe erhalten würde: Also rund halb so viel wie bisher. Parlament und Bundesrat lehnen die Initiative ab. Der Bundesrat hat allerdings ein Gegenprojekt auf Verordnungsstufe beschlossen: Die Abgabe für die Privathaushalte sinkt bis 2029 von heute 335 Franken schrittweise auf 300 Franken. Zudem werden Unternehmen entlastet, künftig zahlt statt jedes dritte rund jedes fünfte Unternehmen eine Abgabe. Entlastung der Bevölkerung oder Angriff auf Vielfalt und Qualität? Die Befürworter der Initiative – darunter die SVP, die Jungfreisinnigen und der Gewerbeverband – betonen: Die Gebührensenkung entlaste die Bevölkerung und das Gewerbe. Zudem sorge die Initiative dafür, dass sich die SRG auf ihren Kernauftrag des Service public fokussiere. Gemäss Initiativtext soll die SRG mit der Abgabe Radio- und Fernsehprogramme finanzieren, die «einen unerlässlichen Dienst für die Allgemeinheit erbringen». Die Gegenseite – darunter zahlreiche Verbände sowie FDP, Mitte, GLP, SP und Grüne – warnt: Die Initiative gefährde das vielfältige und qualitativ gute Angebot der SRG in allen Sprachregionen und würde sie zu einem «radikalen Abbau» zwingen. Zudem müsse die SRG auch ohne die Initiative bereits sparen – das Gegenprojekt des Bundesrats ist beschlossene Sache. Welche Folgen hätte die Initiative für die SRG? Und ist es gerechtfertigt, dass sowohl Haushalte als auch Unternehmen eine Medienabgabe zahlen? Zu diesen Fragen begrüsst Sandro Brotz am 20. Februar 2026 in der «Abstimmungs-Arena» als Befürworterinnen und Befürworter der Vorlage: – Gregor Rutz, Nationalrat SVP/ZH; – Melanie Racine, Vizepräsidentin Jungfreisinnige; – Jan Koch, Vizepräsident Bündner Gewerbeverband und Grossrat SVP/GR; und – Urs Furrer, Direktor Schweizerischer Gewerbeverband. Gegen die Vorlage treten an: – Albert Rösti, Bundesrat und Vorsteher Uvek; – Priska Wismer-Felder, Nationalrätin Die Mitte/LU; – Jon Pult, Vizepräsident SP; und – Susanne Wille, Generaldirektorin SRG.

Dr. Paul Testa, Chief Health Informatics Officer who helped create the About Me Initiative at NYU Langone Health, and Dr. Katherine Hochman, Director of Hospital Medicine at NYU Langone Health, who envisioned the initiative, discuss the benefits of encouraging patients to provide non-medical information. The goal is to help care teams see patients as whole people beyond their diagnoses and to give patients an opportunity to share interests, hobbies, and fun facts that can help build trust and meaningful human connections. This About Me Initiative is being expanded from inpatient care to outpatient settings, such as infusion centers. Paul explains, "The About Me section in our EHR Epic is something that NYU Langone developed with the inspiration of Dr. Hochman, and it's essentially a dedicated discreet space in the medical record to allow patients to declare themselves, allowing them to give them a space that is transparent to all the users of the electronic health record, which are many and vast in their rules. So let them articulate something beyond their disease process or their health. So often, we reduce records to pneumonia, a broken hip, or an infection. The patient is so much more than that, and patients want to share that with us. We know that from practicing for years, Kathy and I both know that the way you connect with patients is through a narrative. Our currency is narrative. This is a location where either a patient or, if they choose to defer, can have one of their nurses or care team members provide a small sample of who they are outside of the care environment."   Katherine elaborates, "So I'm a hospitalist. Every Tuesday, I come into 16 to 18 new patients. And at NYU Langone, our length of stay keeps getting shorter and shorter, which is fantastic for patients because we want to get them in and out of the hospital as quickly and as safely as possible. But by definition, if patients stay shorter and shorter, we don't have as much time to connect. So the About Me Initiative really kicks off that connection that Paul was talking about a second ago. So long ago, and this is how it started, I would tell my teams, slow down to speed up, get to know who this patient is before getting into the heart failure, the pneumonia, the COPD, and really try to establish a little bit of a connection and build trust." #NYULangone #PatientVoices #PatientCare #HealthcareInnovation #PatientExperience #HealthIT #EHR #EpicEHR #HumanConnection #HealthcareTransformation #PatientCentered #MedicalTechnology #DigitalHealth #EmpathyInMedicine  nyulangone.org  Listen to the podcast here

Neun Namen. Neun Leben. Neun Geschichten. Alle wurden am 19. Februar 2020 in Hanau von einem Attentäter aus rassistischen Motiven erschossen. Sechs Jahre nach dem Anschlag sind die Namen der Ermordeten für viele mehr als eine Erinnerung - sie stehen für offene Fragen, für Trauer, für Wut und für den Kampf um Aufklärung und Gerechtigkeit. „Say their names“ ist mehr als ein Satz. Es ist der Versuch, die neun Ermordeten sichtbar zu halten - Ferhat Unvar, Hamza Kurtović, Said Nesar Hashemi, Vili Viorel Păun, Mercedes Kierpacz, Kaloyan Velkov, Fatih Saraçoğlu, Sedat Gürbüz und Gökhan Gültekin. Wie verändert ein solcher Anschlag den Alltag, das Zusammenleben, das Vertrauen in Staat und Behörden? Wie geht es den Familien heute und was entsteht aus der Erinnerung zwischen Trauer, politischem Streit und dem Wunsch, nach vorn zu schauen? Darüber sprechen wir mit Newroz Duman, der Sprecherin der „Initiative 19. Februar Hanau“. Wir hören Stimmen aus Hanau, blicken auf geplante Erinnerungsorte und fragen die Terrorismusforscherin und Expertin für Rechtsextremismus, Dr. Carolin Görzig, wie die Aufarbeitung von rassistischen Anschlägen in Deutschland vorankommt. Außerdem erzählt Andreas Goerke vom Verein ‚Fulda stellt sich quer‘ über die Ausstellung „Rechter Terror in Hessen“. Podcast-Tipp: Deutschland3000 mit Eva Schulz Said Etris Hashemi war 23, als er das Attentat von Hanau schwer verletzt überlebte. Sein Bruder Nesar wurde ermordet, sowie 8 weitere Menschen. Seitdem ist viel über die Tatnacht recherchiert und berichtet worden, es gab einen Untersuchungsausschuss im hessischen Landtag - und doch sind noch so viele Fragen offen. Etris hat erzählt, was in der Nacht damals alles schiefgelaufen ist: verschlossene Notausgänge, überlastete Notrufstellen, überforderte Einsatzkräfte. Und am nächsten Morgen war es mit den Verfehlungen noch längst nicht vorbei. Heute kämpfen er und weitere Angehörige für Aufklärung und vor allem dafür, dass so etwas nicht wieder passiert. Dass Nesars Tod kein sinnloser Tod war. Zu erinnern, sagt Etris, heißt, zu verändern. Und was sich verändern muss, darum geht es in dieser Podcastfolge.

Alan Morrissey spoke to Maggie about "Rocking the Rails" and her family store on Clare FM's Morning Focus. Image (c) The Family Store Limited via Facebook

Livestock worrying cost UK farmers nearly two million pounds last year, a ten percent increase on the year before. Farm insurers NFU Mutual, who published the figures, say that's in spite of many pet owners believing their own dogs are incapable of injuring or killing farm animals.This week we're exploring the role of the farm vet and today we're out on the round with a cattle vet in Wiltshire. More than two hundred thousand new hedgerow trees are being planted this winter, as part of the Campaign To Protect Rural England's Hedgerow heroes Initiative. BBC South East Today's Chrissie Reidy went along to see planting at the Birling Estate in Kent. Presenter: Caz Graham Producer: Sarah Swadling

What does it look like to coach teachers with humanity, curiosity, and care—especially in today's demanding educational landscape? In this episode of the Time for Teachership podcast, Lindsay welcomes back Dr. Jacobē Bell to explore what it truly means to take a humanizing approach to instructional coaching. Drawing on her experience coaching instructional coaches across multiple contexts, Dr. Bell shares practical strategies, mindset shifts, and real coaching moments that help educators grow while protecting their wellbeing. This conversation is part of a mini-series focused on supporting instructional coaches, particularly those who step into the role without formal preparation and are learning "by fire." What You'll Learn in This Episode/Key Takeaways  Humanizing Coaching Coaching is not just about instruction—it's also about emotional awareness, wellness, and meeting educators where they are. Coaches can balance accountability with care by centering teachers as co-producers of knowledge. Afrofuturism, Freedom Dreaming & Coaching Dr. Bell connects Afrofuturism to instructional coaching by imagining a future where educators experience wellness, contentment, and sustainability. A powerful vision: coaching that empowers educators without burning them out. Mindset Shifts from Teacher to Coach Moving from classroom teaching to coaching requires seeing the whole system, not just individual practice. Coaches must navigate adult belief systems, values about students, and differing perspectives—often without making everyone happy. Micro-Modeling as a Coaching Strategy Instead of modeling an entire lesson, Dr. Bell advocates for micro-modeling: Coaches model a short instructional move Teachers immediately practice it with students Coaches give real-time feedback This approach helps shift beliefs about student ability and leads to immediate, tangible growth. Surfacing Beliefs with Curiosity Strategies for navigating hard conversations: Reflecting teachers' words back to them Asking open, curiosity-driven questions Lowering defensiveness by naming uncertainty or even "blaming" your coaching Assuming best intentions opens the door to vulnerability and growth. Live Coaching with Care Live coaching can include gently interrupting or questioning moments of instruction—but only after trust and norms are established. Asking teachers how they prefer to be coached is a critical first step. Authenticity Over One-Size-Fits-All There is no single "right" way to coach. Effective coaching grows from authenticity, relationships, and listening—not rigid formulas. Sustainability & Change Management Dr. Bell shares her current learning focus on sustaining change in schools over time. Sustainable improvement requires planning for longevity from day one—not just short-term wins.

Marco Rubio's Munich Speech asks a question most leaders avoid: is the globalist era over? Professor Nick Giordano explains why this address signals the birth of a New Western Doctrine. The Rubio Doctrine on America First, sovereignty, and Western civilization marks a historic pivot from the "end of history" delusion to a new era of Civilizational Realism. Rubio's speech reframes America First as a revitalized alliance of sovereign nations, not isolationism, and rejects the post–Cold War "end of history" delusion in favor of civilizational realism. With America nearing its 250th anniversary, this episode connects Rubio's doctrine to Founding principles, industrial sovereignty, border control, and the cultural confidence required to defend a way of life. What You'll Learn The Rubio Doctrine: Why Marco Rubio's Munich Speech signals a doctrinal shift in U.S. foreign policy America First Redefined: How America First is redefined and civic cohesion ties directly to constitutional self-government  Western Civilization vs. Managed Decline: Why defending our heritage, without apology, is the prerequisite for national defense. Industrial Sovereignty: Why deindustrialization and supply chain dependency threaten national security The Presidential 1776 Award: Everything parents and students need to know about the national civics scholarship, including the February 21 deadline This episode delivers a clear, structured analysis of one of the most consequential foreign policy speeches in decades and explains what it means for America, Europe, and the future of the West.

Firmen sollen gar keine Abgabe mehr zahlen müssen für Radio und Fernsehen - Privathaushalte nur noch 200 statt wie heute 335 Franken pro Jahr. Das will die SRG-Initiative. Es diskutieren SVP-Nationalrat Gregor Rutz als Befürworter und Mitte-Nationalrat Martin Candinas als Gegner. Für die SRG, zu der auch Radio SRF gehört, wäre ein Ja einschneidend: Die Hälfte der bisherigen Einnahmen aus der Radio- und Fernsehabgabe fiele weg. Für die Befürworterinnen und Befürworter der SRG-Initiative ist das vertretbar: Die SRG solle sich auf ihren Kernauftrag im Bereich Information, Bildung und Kultur konzentrieren. Viele heutige Angebote der SRG, zum Beispiel im Bereich Unterhaltung, könnten auch private Medien bieten. Hier widersprechen die Gegnerinnen und Gegner der Initiative: Sie warnen vor einem radikalen Abbau beim Angebot von Radio und Fernsehen. Auch der Bundesrat warnt insbesondere vor einer Reduktion der Berichterstattung aus den Regionen. Sport- und Unterhaltungssendungen lägen kaum mehr drin, sagt auch der Bundesrat. Auch würden die Leute nicht zwingend Geld sparen bei einem Ja - weil viele Angebote dann nur noch im Bezahlfernsehen erhältlich wären. In der Abstimmungskontroverse diskutieren Mitinitiant und SVP-Nationalrat Gregor Rutz und Mitte-Nationalrat Martin Candinas. Die Sendung leitet Dominik Meier.

Das letzte Jahr war ein turbulentes für die Schweizer Wirtschaft. Doch nun scheint sich die Situation zu stabilisieren: Die Wirtschaft ist wieder leicht gewachsen. Das zeigen die neusten Zahlen des Staatssekretariats für Wirtschaft Seco. Weitere Themen: Das russische Staatsmedium RT unterstützt die SRG-Initiative. SRF würde die Bevölkerung manipulieren, anstatt zu informieren. Warum mischt sich Russland in die Abstimmung ein? Das Gespräch mit Ulrich Schmid, Professor für Osteuropastudien an der Universität St. Gallen.* Nach einem Vorfall mit einem Fanzug am Sonntagabend in Lausanne ist der Bahnverkehr in der Westschweiz stark beeinträchtigt. Offenbar kam es wegen eines Fackelwurfs zu einem Kabelbrand.

Der ältere Artikel vom 1. Februar, in welchem die Initiative unterstützt wird, existiert immer noch.

About the Show:"This is one of those initiatives that we are going to look back on, I believe, as a turning point for our city." – Mayor Molly RawnIn this episode of I Am Northwest Arkansas®, I sit down with Fayetteville Mayor Molly Rawn to talk about the city's $375.5 million bond proposal heading to voters on March 3rd. This episode is specifically for Fayetteville residents—one of the four major cities that make up Northwest Arkansas. As a Fayetteville resident for more than a decade, I wanted to share this conversation because this bond directly affects our community. You might have seen the "One Cent, One City, One Purpose" campaign around town—and here's the good news: it's designed to fund critical infrastructure and quality-of-life projects without raising your taxes.Mayor Rawn and I talk through what's actually in this bond package—roads, utilities, parks, a new aquatic center, and a much-needed animal shelter upgrade. We also get into her first year as mayor, the realities of managing a fast-growing city, and how Fayetteville residents helped shape what made it onto the ballot. One important note: Question 1 on the ballot refinances the 2019 bonds and keeps that existing one-cent sales tax working for the city, and it needs to pass for the other initiatives to move forward.Whether you've been here for decades or just moved to Fayetteville, this bond affects your daily life—from the streets you drive on to the parks where your kids play. We'll help you understand what's at stake, why this moment matters for Fayetteville's future, and how you can make an informed decision before March 3rd.Key Takeaways:● Fayetteville's 2026 Bond Proposal: The city is advancing a $375.5M initiative funding essential infrastructure and amenities—from water/sewer upgrades to parks—while keeping taxes steady.● Quality of Life & Community Growth: Projects like the aquatic center and improved animal shelter directly enhance resident well-being, attract talent, and fuel economic activity.● Infrastructure Drives Housing: Without water, sewer, and roads funded by this bond, housing development (including affordable units) stalls, impacting everyone from students to seniors.● Forward-Thinking Planning: Fayetteville's leaders are focusing on proactive investments, shaped by public feedback, to ensure the city retains its character amid rapid growth.● How to Get Involved: Residents are urged to get informed, ask questions, connect with city officials, and spread the word to neighbors ahead of the March 3rd bond vote.All this and more on this episode of the I Am Northwest Arkansas® podcast.Important Links and Mentions on the Show*Guest: Molly Rawn, Mayor of FayettevilleEmail: mayorsoffice@fayetteville-ar.govCity of Fayetteville Official WebsiteBond Campaign Info:Build Fayetteville's Future – www.buildfayettevillesfuture.comCity Resources –

You hired an A-player who crushed it at first. Now they're disengaged, missing deadlines, producing mediocre work. Your first thought? "Motivation problem. Attitude issue." Wrong diagnosis. In this episode, I break down why A-players underperform—and it's almost never about the person. It's about the environment, the role, and the authority they're given   You'll learn: The 3 I's that define an A-player (Integrity, Initiative, Intelligence) Why work ethic = Initiative + Integrity (this changes everything) The 3 biggest mistakes leaders make with high performers The 3 unlocks A-players need: Right Role, Right Authority, Right Environment Why A-players in the wrong environment struggle MORE than average players The truth about "borrowed authority" and why it kills momentum Whether you're a leader trying to unlock your team's potential or an A-player feeling stuck, this episode will help you diagnose the real problem and fix what actually matters. Key Quote: "Nothing suffocates an A-player faster than borrowed authority. If the role fights the person, the person loses or leaves."

In this episode I'm talking to Dr. Nicolas Rouleau, Ph.D. about his Essay An Immortal Stream of Consciousness: The scientific evidence for the survival of consciousness after permanent bodily death.This Essay was a Bigelow Institute for Consciousness Studies Essay Competition WinnerIs experience possible after death? "An immortal stream of consciousness: The scientific evidence for the survival of consciousness after permanent bodily death" was the title of Nicolas Rouleau's award-winning 2021 submission for the Bigelow Institute for Consciousness Studies' international essay competition. Adapted here as a short book, the essay describes a transmissive theory of consciousness inspired by William James and supported by experimental evidence in the field of bioelectromagnetism including the works of the author (Rouleau) and his former doctoral mentor, Michael A. Persinger. It is one of few scientific theories that reconciles physicalism with survival of consciousness after bodily death.BioDr. Nicolas Rouleau is a neuroscientist, bioengineer, and Assistant Professor of Health Sciences at Wilfrid Laurier University. He is also an Adjunct Professor of Biomedical Engineering at Tufts University and Affiliate Scientist at the Allen Discovery Center at Tufts. Dr. Rouleau was the last PhD student of Michael Persinger of Laurentian University, whose work on the electromagnetic bases of consciousness inspired Rouleau to pursue his dissertation on the material-like properties of brain tissues, including their capacity to filter electromagnetic fields. In 2017, he joined the Allen Discovery Center at Tufts University as a Postdoctoral Researcher and was a founding member of David Kaplan's Initiative for Neural Science, Disease, & Engineering at Tufts, focusing on minimal cognitive responses in bioengineered brain models.As a post-doc, Dr. Rouleau published several 3D tissue models of Alzheimer's Disease and traumatic brain injury. During the research freeze of the COVID pandemic, he wrote an award-winning essay on the topic of transmissive consciousness for the Bigelow Institute of Consciousness Studies, which garnered international attention. In 2023, Dr. Rouleau became a faculty member at Laurier and is now a PI of the Self-Organizing Units Lab (SOUL), which is supported by Tri-Council awards to investigate the mechanisms of embodied cognition and synthetic biological intelligences in customizable, bioengineered neural tissues. He also co-directs (with his colleague, Dr. Murugan) the Center for Tissue Plasticity and Biophysics (TPAB) at Laurier. He is most interested in the fundamental and scale-invariant properties of cognitive systems as well as the pursuit of unifying principles that reconcile organic neural function with analogous phenomena in cells, machines, and non-neural organisms.  https://www.bigelowinstitute.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/rouleau-immortal-consciousness.pdf https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this episode of John Solomon Reports, we focus on a pivotal hearing addressing veterans' job opportunities in the emerging technology sector, particularly in artificial intelligence. Congressman Abe Hamadeh from Arizona, a veteran himself, joins us to discuss his groundbreaking legislation, the Improving Emerging Tech Opportunities for Veterans Act. This initiative aims to connect highly skilled veterans with high-tech jobs, especially as Arizona positions itself as a hub for semiconductor manufacturing and AI innovation.Congressman Hamadeh emphasizes the importance of leveraging the unique skills and discipline of veterans to fill workforce gaps in the tech industry, particularly as foreign investments flood into the U.S. He highlights partnerships with companies like TSMC that are committed to veteran outreach and hiring. This legislation represents a significant step toward ensuring that American veterans are not only honored but also gainfully employed in the rapidly evolving tech landscape.We also delve into the recent developments surrounding President Trump's negotiations regarding Greenland and NATO. The Congressman shares insights on the strategic importance of Greenland for U.S. military operations and how these discussions could bolster national security while countering adversarial influences in the Arctic. With a focus on protecting Western civilization, Hamade reflects on the potential benefits of these agreements for both the U.S. and its allies.Next, we dive deep into President Trump's recent signing of the Charter for the Board of Peace at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Joining us is Claire Lopez, a former CIA operations officer and national security expert, who provides valuable insights on the implications of this new charter for global order and U.S. strategy in the Arctic. Lopez discusses the enhanced U.S. control over strategic sites in Greenland and the significance of these developments in countering the assertive actions of China and Russia in the region.We also explore the broader geopolitical landscape, including the situation in Venezuela. Lopez highlights how the country has become a focal point for adversaries such as Iran and China, and how Trump's foreign policy aims to assert U.S. primacy in the Western Hemisphere. She addresses the ongoing challenges posed by the Maduro regime and the presence of foreign influence in Venezuela, emphasizing the need for a robust U.S. response.Finally, Tina Desovich, co-founder of Moms for Liberty, shares the importance of instilling true American history in our children. Tina emphasizes the importance of parents educating their children about the nation's founding principles and the real stories behind key historical figures. She warns about the potential pitfalls of historical interpretation in museums and educational settings, urging parents to engage directly with original documents to ensure their children grasp the true essence of American history.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
