    The highly potent opioid fentanyl is a major cause of death in the US – and the global trade of the drug is also a cause of growing geopolitical division.  Trump has claimed tariffs on Mexico and Canada are targeting the supply of the drug; his China tariffs have complicated efforts to stem exports of the ingredients needed for its production, and fractures among cartels pushing fentanyl could well reshape underworld activity worldwide. In the latest episode of This Is Not A Drill, Emma Beals discusses the global effects of the fentanyl trade with Vanda Felbab-Brown, director of the Initiative on Nonstate Armed Actors and senior fellow in the Strobe Talbott Center for Security, Strategy, and Technology at the Brookings Institution. • This episode of This Is Not A Drill is supported by  Incogni, the service that keeps your private information safe, protects you from identity theft and keeps your data from being sold.

Egal ob beim neuen Personalausweises, dem Bauantrag für ein Windrad oder dem Kitagutschein – überall hakt es, es dauert zu lange und ist unnötig kompliziert.

    Jetzt sei der Moment, sich für das Völkerrecht zu engagieren, sagt die Präsidentin des Internationalen Komitees vom Roten Kreuz. Mit sechs Staaten hat das IKRK eine Initiative lanciert. Was bringt das, und was heisst es für uns alle, wenn Konflikte immer brutaler werden? Wenn die Regeln des humanitären Völkerechtes im Konflikt nicht mehr beachtet werden, sei das ein Wettlauf hin zu einem moralischen Tiefpunkt - eine Schnellspur ins Chaos und in eine unumkehrbare Verzweiflung, sagt Spoljaric. Das IKRK will darum mit einer Initiative das politische Engagements für das Völkerrecht stärken.

    This episode is a deeply personal one. The Soapbox Redemption podcast has always been aimed at the big questions- and of course, served with swagger. Since my last podcast, I've come across the biggest question yet in my life with my seven year old son William's brain and spine cancer diagnosis called medulloblastoma.Words fail to relay the horror that this reality is for a family. Everything immediately looks different and the life you knew before (and expected ahead) is forever changed. This episode features a conversation with Fernando Goldsztein who has also felt the horror of a medulloblastoma diagnosis. Fernando is married and has two children and is a businessman from Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil with an MBA from MIT Sloan School of Management. After Fernando's son Federico was diagnosed with medulloblastoma which then relapsed after treatment, Fernando founded the Medulloblastoma Initiative in 2021 to accelerate the development of a cure. the Medulloblastoma Initiative serves as a beacon of hope for families like Fernando who have been told "there is nothing further we can do."The Medulloblastoma Initiative is an entirely unique model. It's an open source innovation model with physicians with 14 of the world's most prestigious labs and hospitals from across North America, Europe, and Brazil all working together - no bureaucracy or red tape - just full transparency - and 100% of private donated funds going towards actualizing cutting edge clinical trial therapies NOW - and two such trials have been initiated with three more in the pipeline. This model is extremely timely given the cut-backs to recent pediatric cancer research - and has far reaching implications beyond medulloblastoma. On his recent MSNBC interview, Fernando has assertively stated "giving up on my son was not an option" and "finding a cure is not an if, but a when."Like in one of my favorite Bruce Hornsby songs "That's Just the Way It Is", Fernando and the Medulloblastoma Initiative have stated in their actions - and in no uncertain terms - "ah, but don't you believe them." Please enjoy this conversation and donate to the Medulloblastoma Initiative here.

    How are native bee species in the US doing in light of the major threats they are facing? What more do we need to know to protect them? There are over 3,600 species of native bees in the United States, but we only know the conservation status (i.e., how well they are doing) of about 20% of them. This makes it difficult to make decisions about how to prioritize bee conservation. Joining us to discuss this problem is Saff Killingsworth, Xerces Endangered Species Conservation Biologist. Saff coordinates the State of the Bees initiative, working with researchers and land managers to assess the status of wild bees in the western U.S. and address their conservation needs.

    Thomas de Maizière war von 2013 bis 2018 Bundesinnenminister – inmitten der Flüchtlingskrise. Was würde der CDU-Politiker heute anders machen? Welche Fehler er eingesteht und welche Schritte seiner Meinung nach richtig waren, hört ihr in der Podcastfolge. Weniger selbstkritisch blickt de Maizière auf die Aussetzung der Wehrpflicht, die er als Minister mitverantwortet hat. Warum er die Entscheidung verteidigt und die Wehrpflicht damals nicht mehr zu retten war und wie er sie heute gestalten würde, erklärt er im Gespräch mit t-online-Chefredakteur Florian Harms und Politikchef Christoph Schwennicke. Zu Beginn geht es um die “Initiative eines handlungsfähigen Staates”, bei der de Maizière Mitautor ist. Dabei geht es um Empfehlungen, Deutschland moderner und digitaler zu machen. De Maizière appelliert im Gespräch an das Vertrauen der Menschen in den Staat und kritisiert den deutschen Perfektionismus.

    When is it right to stick to your role—and when do you need to step up and act, even outside your formal job description? Mike and Jim tackle the age-old advice to “stay in your lane” by examining what it truly means in high-stakes environments. From a cop showing up to a burning house to Marines turning wrenches one moment and picking up rifles the next, we break down how flexibility, judgment, and initiative can make the difference between failure and mission success. Drawing on real-world examples like the 2012 Taliban attack on Camp Bastion—where Marine pilots and maintainers dropped tools and returned fire—we ask: Is it always someone else's job, or do high-performing teams blur the lines when the stakes are high? This episode is about knowing your capabilities, understanding your limits, and recognizing when stepping outside your lane is not only appropriate—but necessary.

    UCD's Building Stories Initiative Enters New Phase to Tackle Housing Vacancy and Revitalise Irish Towns

    After a thorough development phase, Building Stories, a future-focused research initiative from University College Dublin, is entering a new phase of public engagement and implementation. With the launch of Living Labs in partnership with Monaghan and Cork City Councils, the project is addressing some of Ireland's most urgent challenges, including the housing crisis, carbon emissions from construction, and the decline of town centres. Backed by €690,000 in funding through the National Challenge Fund's OurTech Challenge, the project brings together a multidisciplinary team of researchers in architecture, planning, computer science, and data governance. Building Stories is developing a dynamic, AI-powered geospatial platform to accurately map vacancy in Ireland's built environment, providing leaders in housing and planning policy with actionable, building-level data. Speaking about the project, sustainable urban design expert and spokesperson for Building Stories, Dr Philip Crowe, said: "With Building Stories we aim to give local authorities, national agencies, and communities a new lens through which to understand vacancy, with data that can assist in good decision making and more efficient management of the built environment." Building Stories is a 12-person research team at UCD's School of Architecture, Planning and Environmental Policy and the School of Computer Science, led by Dr Philip Crowe, Dr Gavin McArdle and Dr Rob Brennan. It is affiliated with the UCD Centre for Irish Towns (CfIT) and ADAPT, the Research Ireland Centre for AI-Driven Digital Content Technology, and supported by Taighde Éireann - Research Ireland. The project is building a secure and robust geospatial model that draws on diverse proxy datasets, satellite imagery, and advanced machine learning to dynamically predict the vacancy status of buildings across Ireland. Dr Crowe continued: "Ireland has no reliable, up-to-date database on vacancies at the granular scale of individual buildings and sites. Building Stories aims to provide this data and unlock the more efficient reuse of vacant properties towards better housing delivery, reduction of carbon emissions and the sustainable revitalisation of towns." In summer 2025, the project is being tested on the ground in Living Labs in Monaghan Town and Cork City, which will combine data modelling with citizen science to verify insights and incorporate local knowledge. The project began in 2023 but is now scaling its impact, growing the initiative and refining the model in partnership with local authorities and stakeholders across Ireland. Through open collaboration, citizen engagement, and a commitment to data transparency and governance, the project aligns with EU data and AI regulations, and Ireland's ambition to be a leader in the ethical advancement of a digital society.

    “There are those individual actions that we can take. But if I can work with my community or work inside of my company, or if I can work inside of my house of worship and we can build some community and some action that way, it will have a much bigger impact than anything that I can do as an individual… The communities that they're already a part of, whether they're residential, like in their neighborhoods, or it's the nonprofits that they're a part of, or the places where they have other kinds of communities like religious communities, and start conversations there. What could we do as a community? What could we do as an organization?” Laur Hesse Fisher on Electric Ladies Podcast It's easy to feel powerless as political forces try to dismantle sustainability-climate-clean energy initiatives, levers and economics, BUT we can make a difference anyway. And it matters. Small steps add up. Impact matters. There are steps each of us can take individually to help avert climate change. How? Listen to Laur Hesse Fisher of MIT's Environmental Solutions Initiative and TIL Climate podcast, in this discussion with Electric Ladies host Joan Michelson that aired last year and is more relevant than ever. Laur explains how we can leverage the things we do now, the places we already go, and people we currently talk to and make a difference that way.  You'll hear about: Why reaching people outside the climate-tuned bubble is critical. How we can leverage the relationships we already have, the local media, and local events to make a bigger difference than we can make on our own. Why voting is so crucial this year – and not for the reasons you might have heard Plus, insightful career advice, such as… “My advice would be, as you're thinking about where you want to go, talk to people about that. So you might not know where you want to go, in which case I recommend informational interviews. Those are great for learning about other people's career paths, what it took for them to get there, what did they learn along the way?

    In this powerful episode, host Lisa Malia sits down with Leslie Ferris Yerger, CEO and founder of My Density Matters, for an intimate and eye-opening conversation about breast density, advocacy, and early detection of breast cancer. If you've ever wondered why breast density is such a critical, yet often overlooked, part of the breast cancer conversation, this episode is a must-listen. Lisa and Leslie share their personal stories as breast cancer survivors and passionate advocates, revealing how their own experiences with missed diagnoses due to dense breast tissue ignited their mission to empower women with crucial information.   Leslie recounts her shocking diagnosis of stage four metastatic breast cancer just two months after an “all clear” mammogram and ultrasound—a story that highlights the urgent need for better awareness and screening options. Together, they discuss what women should know about lobular cancer, the limitations of traditional screenings, why advocacy is so important, and what steps everyone can take to protect themselves and their loved ones.   They also touch on barriers to care, tips on understanding your risk and screening reports, and the grassroots power of women supporting one another. Tune in for a moving and educational conversation that might just change how you think about breast health—and give you exactly the tools you need to advocate for yourself and others.   Timestamps: 00:00 Empowering Women on Breast Density 06:04 Unexpected X-Ray Discoveries 09:51 "Invisible Lobular Breast Cancer" 12:10 Breast Density Diagnosis Challenges 13:42 Forming Alliances for Breast Density Awareness  16:59 Bridging Gaps in Cancer Care 20:06 Dense Breasts: Ultrasound Limitations 23:06 Metastatic Cancer and Osteoporosis Medications 28:54 Family Support and Open Conversations 30:24 "Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Guide" Learn more about The Clear Pathways Program, Walk, Summit, App and Initiative powered by For The Love Of Cups and join our task force or advisory board: https://www.breastdensitysummit.org/ Leslie Ferris Yerger is a Tedx speaker, author of Probably Benign, and a women's advocate with a laser focused mission.

As Founder and CEO of the not-for-profit My Density Matters, Leslie is determined to empower women to find out their breast density, learn their options, and advocate for themselves to get the additional breast cancer screening they need, so that her story doesn't become their story.
