Chris is the author of Because Why... Understanding Behavior in Exigencies, S.C.O.R.E. Performance Counseling: Save the Relationship, Change the Behavior, and his latest book, Liminal Space: Reshaping Leadership and Followership.Chris is honorably retired from the Modesto Police Department after 28 years of service, having led teams including the Homicide Team, Hostage Negotiations Team, Street-Level Drug Team, School Police Officer Team, and the Traffic Motor Unit.Dr. Fuzie on Social Media: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-chris-fuzie-ed-d-m-a-ol-vl2-37587934/https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100090255232861https://www.facebook.com/chris.fuzie/https://x.com/CMFLeadershipWEBSITE:https://www.cmfleadership.com/https://www.scoreperformancecounseling.com/

In this powerful episode of The Canine Paradigm, Glenn and Pat reconnect with one of their favourite guests, Dr Melanie Uhde. Known for her no-nonsense, science-first approach to canine behaviour and training, Melanie has become a respected but polarising figure in the dog world. Her deep dives into peer-reviewed research and willingness to challenge misinformation have been applauded by many, but they've also drawn the ire of some high-profile dog trainers more concerned with protecting their brand than evolving with the truth. We discuss the toll of speaking out in a field still dominated by ego, outdated narratives, and commercial agendas. Melanie opens up about some of the shocking threats and intimidation she's received simply for presenting facts. But through it all, her resolve remains: stay true to the science and protect dogs from the fallout of flawed ideologies. If you care about what's real and what works, this is an episode you don't want to miss. Further Details Are you in search of top-tier dog trainers and steadfast supporters of the Canine Paradigm?

We discuss the changing role of the university library, and librarian, and learn how these often iconic institutions are not just responding to change but actively seeking out new opportunities to improve their services and ensure access to valuable information. Hear about the efforts of US librarians to protect valuable public data and government records from the sudden erasure by the Trump administration. Plus, a UK vice-chancellor describes a pioneering project which saw his university partner with the local council to create a joint library that is open to anyone.

She has held previous data librarian roles at Cornell University and the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. She serves as secretary of the International Association for Social Science Information Service and Technology (IASSIST) and is a past president of the Government Documents Round Table (GODORT). Independently of her role at Penn, she is a leading figure in the Data Rescue Project, which is coordinating efforts to protect US public data at risk of deletion or mismanagement. David Green is the vice-chancellor of the University of Worcester. A Cambridge-educated economist with a career-long commitment to education and social equality, he was instrumental in establishing The Hive, which is the only fully integrated university-public library in Europe, in partnership with the Worcestershire County Council.

This real-life tale dives into what happens when a “sure thing” gig turns into a disappearing act—thanks to one agent's total fear of commitment (to a contract, that is).

Politically-driven chaos is disrupting U.S. scientific institutions and creating challenges for science in Canada. Science is a global endeavour and collaborations with the U.S. are routine. In this special episode of Quirks & Quarks, we explore what Canadian scientists are doing to preserve their work to assert scientific sovereignty in the face of this unprecedented destabilization. Canadian climate scientists brace for cuts to climate science infrastructure and data U.S. President Donald Trump's attacks on climate science are putting our Earth observing systems, in the oceans and in orbit, at risk. Canadian scientists who rely on U.S. led climate data infrastructure worry about losing long-term data that would affect our ability to understand our changing climate. With: Kate Moran, the president and CEO of Ocean Networks Canada and Emeritus Professor of Oceanography at the University of Victoria Debra Wunch, Physicist at the University of TorontoChris Fletcher, Department of Geography and Environmental Management at the University of WaterlooU.S. cuts to Great Lakes science and monitoring threaten our shared freshwater resourceU.S. budget and staffing cuts are jeopardizing the long-standing collaboration with our southern neighbour to maintain the health of the Great Lakes, our shared resource and the largest freshwater system in the world. With: Jérôme Marty, executive director of the International Association for Great Lakes Research and part-time professor at the University of OttawaGreg McClinchey, policy and legislative director with the Great Lakes Fishery CommissionMichael Wilkie, Biologist at Wilfred Laurier UniversityBrittney Borowiec, research associate in the Wilkie Lab at Wilfred Laurier UniversityAaron Fisk, Ecologist and Canada Research Chair at the University of WindsorUnexpected ways U.S. culture war policies are affecting Canadian scientists One of the first things President Trump did after taking office was to sign an executive order eliminating all DEI policies in the federal government. This is having far-reaching consequences for Canadian scientists as they navigate the new reality of our frequent research partner's hostility against so-called “woke science.”With:Dr. Sofia Ahmed, Clinician scientist, and academic lead for the Women and Children's Health Research Institute at the University of Alberta Angela Kaida, professor of health sciences and Canada Research Chair at Simon Fraser University in VancouverDawn Bowdish, professor of immunology, the executive director of the Firestone Institute for Respiratory Health and Canada Research Chair at McMaster UniversityKevin Zhao, MD/PhD student in immunology in the Bowdish Lab at McMaster UniversityJérôme Marty, executive director of the International Association for Great Lakes ResearchCanada has a ‘responsibility' to step up and assert scientific sovereigntyA 2023 report on how to strengthen our federal research support system could be our roadmap to more robust scientific sovereignty. The Advisory Panel on the Federal Research Support System made recommendations to the federal government for how we could reform our funding landscape. The intent was to allow us to quickly respond to national research priorities and to make Canada a more enticing research partner in world science. With: Frédéric Bouchard, Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences and professor of philosophy of science at the Université de Montreal. Chair of the Advisory Panel on the Federal Research Support System.

Veronica Woodruff is a Canadian author, public speaker, and award-winning professional whose career spans leadership, environmental science, and civic engagement. In 2025, she published her debut book, Blind Drunk: A Sober Look at Our Boozy Culture, a powerful exploration of alcohol's pervasive influence on North American society—framed through both scientific insight and personal experience.Woodruff's journey to authorship began with a deeply personal essay published in Pique Newsmagazine in early 2023, where she candidly shared her lifelong struggle with binge drinking and her path to sobriety. The story struck a chord, drawing hundreds of messages from readers across the country—many of whom credited her vulnerability with inspiring their own reevaluation of alcohol.Raised in a home marked by both privilege and instability, Woodruff experienced the collapse of her family's wealth due to her father's alcoholism. She entered the foster care system at 15, working minimum-wage jobs while building resilience and independence. Despite early adversity, she pursued higher education, ultimately earning a Master of Arts in Leadership and a background in environmental science. Over the next three decades, she established herself as a respected thought leader, publishing scientific research, leading public engagement initiatives, and working with governments, consultancies, and non-profits.Her transition into authorship was guided by mentorship and a pivotal moment at the Whistler Writers Festival, where she realized her personal narrative could serve as a broader social critique. Blind Drunk was born not only as a memoir, but as a cultural analysis—interrogating how alcohol is woven into everything from après-ski rituals and book clubs to corporate conferences and family dinners.A certified speaker with the International Association for Public Participation, Woodruff brings both evidence-based insight and lived experience to her work. She unpacks the myths surrounding "moderate drinking," critiques outdated public health messaging, and opens an honest conversation about how society normalizes dependency on alcohol.While Blind Drunk is not intended to be self-help, it does offer readers a mirror and a map: reflecting our collective relationship with alcohol, while exploring what it means to live consciously in a culture that often drinks blindly.

Welcome to our 2025 Summer Series which is all about the history of railroads in Missouri. You know the names, the Hannibal and St. Joseph, Northern Missouri, St. Louis and Iron Mountain, Missouri and North Arkansas, Wabash, KATY, Frisco, Rock Island, Missouri Pacific, Kansas City Southern, Houck Line, BNSF, AMTRAK, and many others. From the depot, to the roundhouse, to the shops, and to the tracks, this series takes us all across Missouri and neighboring states to learn about the bygone era when train travel provided the main source of transportation for many Missourians. We will also stop in to visit some historic sites that are preserving the history of railroads. So, all aboard. To open the 2025 Summer Series, Kyle Chattleton, Manager of Volunteer & Public Programs, and a Public Historian, at the Durham Museum in Omaha, Nebraska, joins us to talk about the Durham Museum and Omaha's role as a gateway to the West. Episode Image: Quincy, Omaha and Kansas City Railroad train leaving Novinger, Missouri, ca. 1920s. [Cyrus R. Truitt Scrapbooks (C1432), SHSMO] About the Guest: Dr. Kyle Chattleton is The Durham Museum's Manager of Volunteer & Public Programs and Public Historian.

In this episode of The Canine Paradigm, Glenn and Pat unpack a viral video that's got social media buzzing. It shows a dog walking into a situation and seemingly “resolving” a behavioural issue between other dogs, sparking all kinds of commentary about dominance, energy, and control. But is that really what's going on? Glenn and Pat break down what might actually be happening, without the hype or projection and why it's important to remain critical of viral interpretations dressed up as truth. The episode also revisits the ongoing debate about training tool bans. Why are certain people and groups still trying to outlaw effective tools that improve dog welfare and handler safety? The discussion explores the motivations behind these bans and the harm they cause when politics overrides practical knowledge. Finally, the show calls out the growing number of individuals claiming expertise in dog training without the depth, experience, or results to back it up. When status becomes self-declared, it undermines real learning and misleads dog owners looking for help. This is one of those episodes where we say what others won't, because dogs deserve better.

What if death isn't the end but a doorway to something far greater? Dr. Bruce Greyson, M.D. (author of After, Chester Carlson Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry at the University of Virginia, and co-founder of the International Association for Near-Death Studies) shares the near-death experience (NDE) that shattered his medical skepticism and launched decades of consciousness research. A Distinguished Life Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association, Greyson explores astonishing cases of tunnel visions, otherworldly reunions, and the powerful, peer-reviewed scientific evidence for life after death. Could it be that consciousness exists outside the brain? Discover why many say NDEs eliminate the fear of dying, trigger lifelong transformation, and may even unlock hidden psychic abilities. Plus: the surprising connection between trauma, psychedelics, and reincarnation science—and what it all reveals about what happens after we die. Dr. Bruce Greyson's book, After: A Doctor Explores What Near-Death Experiences Reveal about Life and Beyond: https://www.brucegreyson.com/after-a-doctor-explores-what-near-death-experiences-reveal-about-life-and-beyond/ The Division of Perceptual Studies at the University of Virginia: http://med.virginia.edu/perceptual-studies The International Association for Near-Death Studies: http://iands.org BialikBreakdown.comYouTube.com/mayimbialik

Authoritarianism on the rise: Educators and unionists share strategies for resistance and victory, citing historical examples of successful labor movements, at a conference hosted by CUNY School of Labor and Urban Studies and Cornell Worker Institute in New York City this past May.This show is made possible by you!  To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donateDescription: Labor organizing is critical to any anti-fascist movement, but labor unions and worker education are feeling the impact of brutal Republican attacks and cuts. How are workers and educators responding? In this special report, from a conference held at the CUNY School of Labor and Urban Studies (SLU) in New York City, Laura spoke with Rebecca “Becky” Pringle, president of the National Education Association, the largest union in the country, about labor solidarity in the deep-red state of Utah; history professor Robert Cassannello, a plaintiff in a successful suit against Florida Gov. DeSantis's Stop Woke Act; and Rev. Ryan Brown, an Amazon worker/organizer from North Carolina, about how workers and educators are fighting back, and even winning in these times, although the obstacles are immense. The conference, “Labor and the Crisis of Democracy; Working Class Politics in a Time of Authoritarianism” was convened by the CUNY School of Labor and Urban Studies with the Cornell Worker Institute. “It's not the first time that our species have lived in perilous times, with pharaohs who are giving people work without any brick, without any straw. They have always figured out a way to organize, to mobilize and to agitate . . . Harriet Tubman, Fannie Lou Hamer, they were just regular, everyday human beings. No education. But they knew that fundamentally something was wrong about the world.” - Rev. Ryan Brown“You can study any authoritarian reign, any oligarch throughout history. The people who have the most success in fighting against them are educators and they are unionists . . . We understand these are multi-pronged attacks on every front. So we have to actually have a multi-pronged approach for educators.” - Becky Pringle GUESTS:• Reverend Ryan Brown: President, Carolina Amazonians United for Solidarity & Empowerment (CAUSE)• Robert Cassannello: History Professor, University of Central Florida; Incoming President, United Faculty of Florida (UFF)• Bhairavi Desai: Executive Director, NY Taxi Worker Alliance• Annabelle Heckler: Artist; Social Practice Fellow, CUNY• Sherman Henry: Director, Labor Institute for Advancing Black Strategies, Clark Atlanta University• Dr. Mudiwa Pettus: Assistant Professor, English Department, Medgar Evers College; Social Practice Fellow, CUNY • Rebecca “Becky” Pringle: President, National Education Association Check out the Bonus Interview in this podcast feed:  In a candid discussion with Laura, veteran union organizer Alex Han and U.S. Right Wing expert Tarso Ramos explore how workers are uniting against rising authoritarianism. Music Credit: “Jagged” by Blue Dot Sessions.
