Podcasts about inventors

Today we have Dr. Mari Dezawa, one of the world's leaders in stem-cell research and regenerative medicine. Mari is a pioneer in this emerging field and is known worldwide for her discovery of MUSE cells, a unique type of stem cell with exciting clinical potential. MUSE is short for Multilineage-Differentiating Stress-Enduring Cells. The discovery of the MUSE cell in humans has many biological and medical implications, and the human body may have a greater regenerative potential than we might have ever imagined. In collaboration with major national and international institutions, Mari and her colleagues are promoting research on MUSE cell-based regenerative medicine for diseases without definitive treatments. She and her team are also exploring the differences in regenerative capacity between less and more complex animals from the viewpoint of the stem-cell system. Mari is a professor and chair of the Division of Stem Cell Biology and Histology at Tohoku University School of Medicine. She has published more than 200 papers and is particularly known for her 2010 paper on the mechanisms of MUSE cells. In 2018, she was appointed a fellow of the U.S. National Academy of Inventors and has been the recipient of numerous awards, including the Japanese Government's Prize for the Commendation for Science and Technology. Show notes: [00:04:10] Ken opens the interview by mentioning that although Mari was born in Japan, her family moved to the U.S. when she was only eight months old. Ken asks if it is true that Mari finds it difficult to answer the question of where her hometown is. [00:05:23] Ken asks Mari how she handled moving so much as a child. [00:05:52] Ken mentions that Mari's father was a researcher and asks when she became passionate about research and science. [00:06:58] Ken mentions that Mari attended the Chiba University School of Medicine and asks what inspired her to go to medical school. [00:07:19] Ken explains that after Mari earned her medical degree, she attended Chiba University Graduate School of Medicine for her Ph.D. Ken mentions that while Mari was initially a cardiology resident, she later decided to focus on clinical research and became a stem-cell researcher. Ken asks what led her to shift from cardiology to stem-cell research. [00:08:25] Ken explains that Mari is well-known for her research into the role of stem cells in regeneration and functional recovery of nerve and muscle cells. Ken asks how and when she first became interested in stem cells. [00:09:56] Ken asks Mari to give a brief overview of stem cells and their significance. [00:11:18] Ken mentions that Mari remained at Chiba University as a research associate after earning her Ph.D in 1995. She then took a position as an associate professor at Yokohama City University Graduate School of Medicine before accepting a position at Kyoto University Graduate School of Medicine as an associate professor in 2003. Ken explains that while at Kyoto, Mari developed methods to induce bone marrow stromal cells to generate neuro and skeletal muscle cells, which play a crucial role in tissue repair and regeneration and are widely studied for their potential to serve as therapeutic agents. Ken asks Mari to give a quick primer on the crucial role these cells play in tissue repair. [00:13:25] Ken explains that in 2003, a member of Mari's technical staff at Kyoto asked her whether they should discard some cultured adult rat and human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) after she had noticed several strange cell clusters. Ken asks Mari to share what happened next and how this set her on the path to the discovery of Multilineage-Differentiating Stress-Enduring Cells. [00:16:03] Ken asks Mari to elaborate on this story and explain how a mistake led to this incredible discovery. [00:20:48] Ken explains that in 2008 Mari became professor and chair of the Department of Stem Cell Biology and Histology at Tohoku University Graduat...

Disaster with the recording this episode! Sorry if it is hard to hear in places we were forced to use the emergency back up! Disaster with the recording this episode! Sorry if it is hard to hear in places we were forced to use the emergency back up!  Listeners may remember that Dave went to Utah a couple of years back to try and help with a sauropod excavation. That trip was with sauropod supremo Matt Wedel who was recently in London, and so we scooped him up to get him onto Terrible Lizards. Unfortunately there were real technical issues, so the sound quality is not the best, but hopefully you can enjoy it. So sit back for an hour for deep sauropod nerdery, covering the air sac system, giant sauropods, their evolution, ecology, and follow Matt's career from a chance start on a new giant to bird physiology.     A link to Matt's blog SV-POW! which he writes with Mike Taylor (and in theory, Darren Naish) https://svpow.com/   A link to an old post from Matt on Dave's blog about his favourite work: https://archosaurmusings.wordpress.com/2017/02/27/buried-treasure-matt-wedel/ Iszi's book The Time Machine Next Door: inventors and dinosaurs is out on 28th August in the UK: https://amzn.eu/d/dqPr6bo  

Get the book!What happens when artificial intelligence challenges humans for the invention crown? We dive into this provocative question by examining real-world examples where AI has revolutionized fields from drug discovery to furniture design.The evidence is compelling. AI systems have accelerated medical research, discovered antibiotics against resistant bacteria, identified new molecular patterns, and generated creative designs faster than humans could imagine. Yet every breakthrough required human direction, interpretation, and implementation. As we explore this partnership, the podcast reveals a fundamental truth - innovation isn't humans versus machines but humans with machines.The legal landscape adds another dimension to this discussion. We unpack the fascinating "Davos Saga," where Dr. Stephen Thaler's attempt to list his AI system as an inventor on patent applications met resistance worldwide. Courts in the United States, United Kingdom, Europe, Australia, Japan, and Switzerland all reached the same conclusion: under current law, only natural persons can be inventors. This global consensus reflects the view that AI remains a sophisticated tool rather than an autonomous creator deserving legal rights.For inventors navigating this evolving landscape, emotional barriers often prove as challenging as technical ones. That's why we introduce the powerful "Fear Setting" exercise from my book "Protection of the Inventive Mind." This practical technique helps transform anxiety into action by confronting worst-case scenarios, developing safeguards, and planning recovery strategies. Download the worksheet from our website to experience how quickly your innovation fears diminish when systematically addressed.Whether you're a human inventor seeking to harness AI's capabilities or simply fascinated by the intersection of technology and creativity, this episode offers valuable insights into the future of innovation. Subscribe now and join us in exploring how the most powerful inventions emerge when human intuition meets algorithmic intelligence.Send us a textSupport the show

How often do you assume someone's behavior is a flaw in their character instead of a feature of their genius?In episode 89 of the Working Genius Podcast, Patrick Lencioni and Cody Thompson unpack the “Fundamental Attribution Error” and how it damages relationships at work and at home. They explain how people often misjudge each other's actions as flaws rather than features of their unique Working Genius. By walking through all six Geniuses, the hosts show how greater understanding can lead to less guilt, less judgment, and better collaboration.Topics explored in this episode: (0:35) Understanding the Attribution Trap* The fundamental attribution error leads us to blame others' character while excusing our own behavior.* Working Genius helps reframe annoying behaviors as strengths expressed out of context.(5:35) Wonder and Invention* Wonderers can be misjudged as unfocused, skeptical, or afraid to commit due to their questioning nature.* Inventors might be seen as flaky, ego-driven, undisciplined, or impatient due to their constant flow of new ideas.(12:38) Discernment and Galvanizing* Discerners are often misjudged as overly judgmental due to their evaluative nature.* Galvanizers can be perceived as overly enthusiastic, insincere, or bossy.(21:26) Enablement and Tenacity* People with enablement might be seen as unwilling to say no or even dishonest due to their eagerness to help and affirm.* People with tenacity can be unfairly seen as unsympathetic or afraid to fail because of their focus on finishing tasks.This episode of The Working Genius Podcast with Patrick Lencioni is brought to you by The Table Group: https://www.tablegroup.com.

Until the mid-20th century, putting nappies on babies involved folding and pinning cloth towelling, then pulling a pair of rubber pants over the top. That all began to change on June 12th, 1951, when the US inventor Marion Donovan patented a new kind of nappy, with an envelope-like plastic cover and an absorbent insert. Her invention ultimately netted her a million dollars (nearly $10 million in today's money) and paved the way for the development of disposable nappies which have become ubiquitous in many parts of the world today.  In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly discuss how Donovan became one of the most prolific female inventors of her time; reveal that when she attempted to sell her invention, she was laughed out of boardrooms by male executives; and explain why one of her inventions, the “Zippity-Do”, could potentially be the undoing of Olly's relationship with his wife… Further Reading: • ‘The Woman Who Invented Disposable Diapers' (The Atlantic, 2014): https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2014/10/the-woman-who-invented-disposable-diapers/381310/  • ‘Marion Donovan: Waterproof Diaper Cover Inventor' (National Inventors' Hall of Fame, 2023): https://www.invent.org/inductees/marion-donovan  • ‘Inventors on "Not for Women Only" from 1975' (Lemelson Center, 2013: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-YtYOKt6T0  This episode first aired in 2023 Love the show?

One day in 2011, I found the most amazing book at the library!!! I happened across it accidentally. It was about Leonardo Da Vinci and the amazing visions he had. But that wasn't all. The book showed how, in time, all his inventive ideas were created by other people and who those people were. Oh my gosh, I wanted to share this with my grands. Join me as I share what we learned about and the Super-duper Rocket-propelled Robot we invented. You are going to love the story of when the lights went on for Jack and he created his 'all alone' invention. We had a spectacular time, and you can do the same with your kids or grands.

Inventors in the late 19th and early 20th centuries were busy perfecting self-propelled vehicles. They experimented with steam-powered as well as gas-powered automobiles. It was exciting to zip down the road at the blazing speed of eight miles an hour but the risks of such travel became apparent almost immediately. With no traffic laws and no safety features, even a slow-moving vehicle could be a menace.

What is the actual value of patents? Inventors and companies invest millions in obtaining patents, believing they are valuable assets. Yet, their true worth is rarely quantified.For this episode of Clause 8, Eli Mazour brings together three of the most insightful experts in the patent valuation space: Michal Malkovich, Vice President at Charles River Associates; Alejandra Loaiza Delgado, Co-Founder and Managing Director at Econ Edge; and Mike Pellegrino, President and Founder of Pellegrino & Associates.Throughout this discussion, you'll notice that despite their different experiences and perspectives, they share one goal: getting to the truth about patent valuation. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit www.voiceofip.com

Alan provides a new Me on the Mic episode. Alan describes how he metaphorically teaches inventors to fish - how to market their inventions.  Too often inventors turn marketing over to someone else - an invention marketing company. That's a costly mistake. Marketing is a learnable skill - and he can teach you how to do it.

Show Notes: In this episode, the hosts recap our latest session of our Other Worlds actual player series. Character development? Lore? Plot twists? We've got ‘em. We dig into our Inventor and Summoner builds, and try to pry some plot out of Randall. We wrap with some hype for an upcoming special on the Pokémon Junior Adventure Game—yes, that's real, and yes, we're absurdly excited. Key Takeaways (a.k.a. What We Learned While the GM Was Panicking): Character mechanics matter... unless you're a Summoner, in which case good luck. Monster Hunter RPGs: come for the gear, stay for the glorious chaos. James Bond can absolutely be an RPG—just add explosions and questionable ethics. Witcher 3: universally beloved. Everything else: divisive at best. Podcasting tip: prepare for the game; improvise the jokes. Summoners were OP until they weren't. RIP, synthesis. Inventors are great—if you enjoy downtime more than combat. Foundry can either be your best friend or a confusing digital labyrinth. Class balance: not just a suggestion, it's a survival mechanism. Long-term campaigns: where dreams and class regret both thrive. GMing under pressure = GMing while slowly melting inside. Inverting joysticks: a hill some gamers will die on. Multiverse storytelling: because one timeline just isn't messy enough. Twin films: two movies, one brain cell. Twitch streaming: like podcasting, but now you can see the panic. Character development is the soul of RPGs—or at least the part we pretend we had planned. Lore: the thing players ignore until it's suddenly relevant. Community interaction makes everything better, even if they heckle. Always debrief. Sometimes therapy isn't enough.

Recorded: 11/3/2024On this episode of Obscure Image, we talk to and get to know the artist known as Dustmyte. Dustmyte is primarily known for his aggressive melodies alongside his experimentation within the genre we know of today as "trap metal", but I personally believe he has gone far beyond that in terms of experimentation, and I think his sound is something that can't yet be defined to a specific genre this early in his career. He is an artist that is being viewed as a rapper but in this interview, I am very adamant that he is more so a vocalist rather than just a rapper. We speak about where his love for music initially began, his song titled "W33D", being a meme rapper early in his career, getting serious with his musical journey in his later years of high school, going from producer to "rapper", his album "King Saul", moving to New York from Denver, the lore behind his name, his masks, and becoming roommates with event curator Mullet Boy. We also speak about his accidental indulgence in ketamine with good friend Celeste Kay, the state of his toilet seat, his cat's skunk & ginger, a fight he had outside of a bar with Celeste Kay, using Mcdonalds Wi-Fi to upload his music, living with a Kenyan foreign exchange student named Clement and so much more. This was a real dope interview and I'm glad Dustmyte agreed to not only speak with me but I'm glad he allowed me the grace of letting me help tell his story. I want to give a special shoutout to his manager Dan alongside his friends Mullet Boy & Celeste Kay for helping me with this interview. Also, a special thanks for Vythe for telling me about Dustmyte in a private discord voice call.

Chris Israel, Alliance of U.S. Startups & Inventors for Jobs (USIJ) executive director. How to give U.S. inventors a head start in the race with China

What makes some founders incredible leaders—and others impossible to work with? They are visionaries, but are they always great leaders? Founders bring passion, vision, and drive, but they can also be intense, stubborn, and relentless. Working with them isn't just about executing their vision—it's about knowing when to support, when to challenge, and how to scale alongside them. So how do you do that effectively?In this episode of Transformative Leadership Conversations, I dive into what makes founders tick, the challenges they face, and how you can be a strategic partner in their success. Whether you work for, with, or invest in a founder, understanding their mindset is key to building a strong and successful relationship.You'll hear me discuss:The surprising data behind founders—Forget the stereotype of the young tech genius. The average founder is older than you might think, and startups with multiple founders tend to outperform solo-led businesses. I break down what the numbers actually tell us about who succeeds and why.The four founder archetypes—Inventors generate endless ideas but struggle with execution. Drivers push forward with sheer determination but risk burnout. Builders create structure and scalability but may resist change. Guides lead with vision and culture but can be too hands-off. I'll explain how to work with each type effectively.How to challenge a founder without clashing—The best partners don't just follow orders; they push founders to grow. I share strategies for helping founders see blind spots, make better decisions, and scale successfully—without stepping on toes.The pitfalls founders face (and how to help them avoid them)—From burnout to hiring mistakes to emotional attachment that clouds judgment, many founders struggle to transition from startup hustle to sustainable leadership. I'll highlight key risks and how you can help navigate them.What makes working with founders so exciting (and tough)—Founders move fast, take risks, and embrace uncertainty. That energy is contagious, but it can also be exhausting. I'll share what I love about working with founders—and the biggest challenges to watch for.ResourcesWinnie da Silva on LinkedIn | On the Web | Substack | Email - winnie@winnifred.org

The free livestreams for AI Engineer Summit are now up! Please hit the bell to help us appease the algo gods. We're also announcing a special Online Track later today.Today's Deep Research episode is our last in our series of AIE Summit preview podcasts - thanks for following along with our OpenAI, Portkey, Pydantic, Bee, and Bret Taylor episodes, and we hope you enjoy the Summit! Catch you on livestream.Everybody's going deep now. Deep Work. Deep Learning. DeepMind. If 2025 is the Year of Agents, then the 2020s are the Decade of Deep.While “LLM-powered Search” is as old as Perplexity and SearchGPT, and open source projects like GPTResearcher and clones like OpenDeepResearch exist, the difference with “Deep Research” products is they are both “agentic” (loosely meaning that an LLM decides the next step in a workflow, usually involving tools) and bundling custom-tuned frontier models (custom tuned o3 and Gemini 1.5 Flash).The reception to OpenAI's Deep Research agent has been nothing short of breathless:"Deep Research is the best public-facing AI product Google has ever released. It's like having a college-educated researcher in your pocket." - Jason Calacanis“I have had [Deep Research] write a number of ten-page papers for me, each of them outstanding. I think of the quality as comparable to having a good PhD-level research assistant, and sending that person away with a task for a week or two, or maybe more. Except Deep Research does the work in five or six minutes.” - Tyler Cowen“Deep Research is one of the best bargains in technology.” - Ben Thompson“my very approximate vibe is that it can do a single-digit percentage of all economically valuable tasks in the world, which is a wild milestone.” - sama“Using Deep Research over the past few weeks has been my own personal AGI moment. It takes 10 mins to generate accurate and thorough competitive and market research (with sources) that previously used to take me at least 3 hours.” - OAI employee“It's like a bazooka for the curious mind” - Dan Shipper“Deep research can be seen as a new interface for the internet, in addition to being an incredible agent… This paradigm will be so powerful that in the future, navigating the internet manually via a browser will be "old-school", like performing arithmetic calculations by hand.” - Jason Wei“One notable characteristic of Deep Research is its extreme patience. I think this is rapidly approaching “superhuman patience”. One realization working on this project was that intelligence and patience go really well together.” - HyungWon“I asked it to write a reference Interaction Calculus evaluator in Haskell. A few exchanges later, it gave me a complete file, including a parser, an evaluator, O(1) interactions and everything. The file compiled, and worked on my test inputs. There are some minor issues, but it is mostly correct. So, in about 30 minutes, o3 performed a job that would take me a day or so.” - Victor Taelin“Can confirm OpenAI Deep Research is quite strong. In a few minutes it did what used to take a dozen hours. The implications to knowledge work is going to be quite profound when you just ask an AI Agent to perform full tasks for you and come back with a finished result.” - Aaron Levie“Deep Research is genuinely useful” - Gary MarcusWith the advent of “Deep Research” agents, we are now routinely asking models to go through 100+ websites and generate in-depth reports on any topic. The Deep Research revolution has hit the AI scene in the last 2 weeks: * Dec 11th: Gemini Deep Research (today's guest!) rolls out with Gemini Advanced* Feb 2nd: OpenAI releases Deep Research* Feb 3rd: a dozen “Open Deep Research” clones launch* Feb 5th: Gemini 2.0 Flash GA* Feb 15th: Perplexity launches Deep Research * Feb 17th: xAI launches Deep SearchIn today's episode, we welcome Aarush Selvan and Mukund Sridhar, the lead PM and tech lead for Gemini Deep Research, the originators of the entire category. We asked detailed questions from inspiration to implementation, why they had to finetune a special model for it instead of using the standard Gemini model, how to run evals for them, and how to think about the distribution of use cases. (We also have an upcoming Gemini 2 episode with our returning first guest Logan Kilpatrick so stay tuned

In this episode, part of a special collaboration between ACM ByteCast and the American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA)'s For Your Informatics podcast, Sabrina Hsueh hosts accessibility researcher and inventor Chieko Asakawa, an IBM Fellow at the IBM T.J. Watson Research Center, the Chief Executive Director of The National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation (Miraikan) in Japan, and an IBM Distinguished Service Professor at Carnegie Mellon University. Chieko's inventions include the Home Page Reader (HPR); a word processor for Braille documents; a digital library for Braille documents; an application to improve accessibility of streaming services; and, most recently, the AI Suitcase project. Her career has been recognized with numerous prestigious awards and honors, including becoming the first Japanese woman IBM Fellow in 2009, receiving the “Medal of Honor with Purple Ribbon” from the Emperor of Japan in 2013, her induction into the US National Inventors Hall of Fame in 2019, being named a Fellow of the National Academy of Inventors, and the ACM SIGACCESS Award for Outstanding Contributions to Computing and Accessibility in 2024. In the interview, Chieko shares how becoming blind early in life led her to work in accessibility research. She talks about her IBM team's work on the Home Page Reader, the first practical voice browser to provide effective internet access for blind and visually impaired computer users, as well as more recent work on the AI suitcase, a robot that helps visually impaired people walk around and navigate independently. Chieko and Sabrina touch on AI's potential in aiding accessibility and the inspiration for the AI Suitcase. She offers advice and best practices for both early and mid-career researchers and interdisciplinary professionals.

Pathfinder 2E: Guns & Gears Remastered is here, proving once and for all that the best way to balance a game is by strapping explosives to your boots, firing an elephant gun from horseback, and praying Overdrive doesn't betray you. Guns & Gears Remastered is bringing more chaos than a malfunctioning automaton with a loaded musket. The RPGBOT crew dives into the madness, covering everything from gadget-wielding Inventors to Gunslingers finally getting the respect they deserve. Highlights include: Overdrive no longer punishing you for trying Firearms with enough kickback to send you into the next campaign setting The Harmona gun, because apparently, we needed a weapon specifically for hunting elephants Gadget Skates and Blast Boots proving that fashion and explosions CAN mix A technological wheelchair, making combat both more inclusive and way more stylish If you like high-speed chases, overly complicated weaponry, and questioning whether all of this is actually balanced (spoiler: it is, but barely), you need to check this out. Saddle up, grab your gnome amalgam musket, and prepare for the most mechanically unhinged ride in Pathfinder history. Links Guns and Gears Remastered (affiliate link) Guns and Gears Review from the RPGBOT.Podcast Episode Summary Welcome to the wild world of Guns & Gears Remastered, where firearms meet finely tuned mechanical madness. The hosts take a deep dive into the updated Inventor and Gunslinger classes, the Automaton ancestry, and the fallout from the OGL fiasco that led to the Pathfinder Remaster. Expect heated discussions on whether all weapons are viable (spoiler: yes, but also no), how Overdrive is now slightly less heartbreaking, and why the Harmona gun is just excessive (unless you're an elephant, then it's terrifying). The crew also explores the absurdity of gadgets, gizmos, and gloriously impractical firearms, questioning just how many springs, cogs, and explosives one character really needs. The answer is always more. The episode also highlights the introduction of a technological wheelchair, making combat more accessible and proving that even in a world of magic and mayhem, inclusivity matters. So grab your gnome amalgam musket, strap on your Gadget Skates, and get ready for a mechanically enhanced ride through Pathfinder's most ridiculous (but undeniably fun) rulebook. Key Takeaways Inventors Gonna Invent – The Inventor class is all about making wild contraptions and hitting things with them. Who needs spells when you have gadgets? Slingers Get Some Love – The Gunslinger class gets a well-deserved glow-up, proving that gunpowder and class mechanics can mix well. Overdrive Wins, Even on Failure – Now players still get a minor bonus even when their roll goes horribly wrong. Automatons Are Steampunk Terminators – The Automaton ancestry lets players live their best robotic medieval fantasy dreams. OGL Fiasco Leads to a Pathfinder Remaster – The fallout from the licensing mess led to this refined edition. No new content, just streamlined and improved mechanics. Gadgets Are Not Gizmos – They are mechanical consumables with distinct rules, and the difference may or may not confuse players forever. Ridiculous But Effective – Blast Boots, Gadget Skates, and absurd firearm traits add both strategy and pure chaos to combat. Harmona Gun is Overkill in a Barrel – A gun designed specifically for hunting elephants, with a massive 1d10 damage die, because apparently subtlety is overrated. Mount Up or Brace for Recoil – Firing certain firearms on horseback cancels out their kickback penalty, making mounts the unsung heroes of gunfighting. Firearms Have Range and Quirks – Scatter blasts, kickback mechanics, and fatal aim traits introduce both tactical depth and comic relief. Vehicles and Combat Drivers Expand the Game – High-speed chases and mechanized warfare are now part of the Pathfinder experience. Technological Wheelchair Brings Inclusivity – One of the most impactful additions, ensuring that mobility aids can be just as powerful as any warhorse. Pathfinder Embraces Maximum Absurdity – The Guns & Gears book (and this episode) prove that the best RPGs allow players to embrace the fun, the chaos, and the sheer unpredictability of a well-placed gadget. Guns & Gears Remastered is an absolute blast. Whether you're an engineer of doom, a sharpshooter with a flair for the dramatic, or just someone who wants to ride into battle on a mechanical unicycle, this book has something for you. Now go forth and build the most impractical, over-engineered character imaginable.

The Czech language has been a severe impediment to my storytelling this season and you may have noticed that I often avoid to name places and people, instead I talk about a major baron or a medium sized city. There are however two Czech words I have no difficult pronouncing, Howitzer and Pistol. Which may tell you what we will be talking about today, the battle of Kutna Hora, when a blind general saw an escape route that change the world irrevocably. But on the way there we will hear about an accelerating spiral of brutality, attempts at reconciliation, about austere dress and debauched dancing in the woods. This is another one of these episodes that has it all, and some.The music for the show is Flute Sonata in E-flat major, H.545 by Carl Phillip Emmanuel Bach (or some claim it as BWV 1031 Johann Sebastian Bach) performed and arranged by Michel Rondeau under Common Creative Licence 3.0.As always:Homepage with maps, photos, transcripts and blog: www.historyofthegermans.comIf you wish to support the show go to: Support • History of the Germans PodcastFacebook: @HOTGPod Threads: @history_of_the_germans_podcastBluesky: @hotgpod.bsky.socialInstagram: history_of_the_germansTwitter: @germanshistoryTo make it easier for you to share the podcast, I have created separate playlists for some of the seasons that are set up as individual podcasts. they have the exact same episodes as in the History of the Germans, but they may be a helpful device for those who want to concentrate on only one season.

A patent is a type of intellectual property that gives its owner the legal right to exclude others from making, using, or selling an invention for a limited period of time in exchange for publishing an enabling disclosure of the invention.[1] In most countries, patent rights fall under private law and the patent holder must sue someone infringing the patent in order to enforce their rights.[2]
