To watch a video version of this podcast, click here: https://youtu.be/eK-WIS7inMUIn this episode, Reuben Saltzman and Tessa Murry talk with Steve Rogers, President of The Energy Conservatory (TEC), about the science behind home performance and why so many HVAC systems fall short of expectations. Steve shares TEC's journey from early prototypes to industry‑standard testing tools and explains how comfort, moisture, and efficiency issues often stem from the building envelope. The conversation dives into blower doors, airflow testing, duct leakage, furnace short‑cycling, restrictive filters, oversized systems, and the key measurements inspectors and homeowners commonly miss, offering practical insights for homeowners, inspectors, HVAC technicians, and building‑science enthusiasts alike.You can check out The Energy Conservatory website here: www.energyconservatory.comTakeawaysTEC manufactures tools that measure building airtightness, duct leakage, and airflow—core metrics for diagnosing home performance issues.Blower door testing became essential because leaky houses waste energy, cause comfort issues, and contribute to attic moisture problems.Early blower door prototypes were expensive and slow; TEC revolutionized the field with affordable, efficient models.Airflow is one of the hardest HVAC metrics to measure accurately; TEC's TruFlow Grid helps techs commission systems properly.Most furnaces and ACs are never tested for correct airflow after installation, which leads to early equipment failure and poor efficiency.High temperature rise = low airflow. This often causes the furnace to hit its high‑limit switch and shut off prematurely.Oversizing is rampant—many homes have furnaces 1.5–2× larger than needed, increasing noise, inefficiency, and comfort issues.Filter restrictions depend on pressure drop, not just MERV rating. Pleat depth and surface area matter more than the number printed on the label.3M Filtrete filters maintain reasonable pressure drops because they add pleats as MERV levels increase.The most important starting point in energy upgrades is a blower door test, not HVAC replacement.Older homes—especially balloon‑framed houses—are extremely leaky and need targeted air‑sealing.Complicated house shapes (L‑shaped, multi‑level splits, many dormers) are typically leakier than simple rectangular designs.Many contractors still do not measure airflow or static pressure, causing repeat callbacks and inefficiency.TEC's tools and apps help HVAC techs commission systems properly—reducing callbacks and improving system performance.Homeowners can access subsidized energy audits through utilities, often including blower door and infrared inspections.Chapters00:00 — Introduction and Guest Welcome02:00 — Steve's Background & The Origin of The Energy Conservatory05:00 — How Blower Doors Were Invented & Early Challenges08:00 — Engineers, Inventors & TEC's Company Culture11:00 — Advances in Airflow Testing: TruFlow Grid Explained15:00 — Why Airflow Is Critical for Furnace & AC Efficiency17:00 — Temperature Rise, High‑Limit Switches & Furnace Cycling20:00 — Common Installation Issues & What Inspectors Should Look For22:00 — The Truth About Furnace Filters & Pressure Drop26:00 — Oversizing Problems & Proper Equipment Matching31:00 — Why Most Homes Have Comfort Problems (and How to Fix Them)35:00 — Blower Door Testing as the First Step in Home Performance38:00 — Moisture, Attic Frost & Air Leakage Pathways41:00 — Styles of Homes That Tend to Be Leakier44:00 — Balloon Framing vs. Platform Framing47:00 — Why the Industry Changes Slowly & The Role of Training52:00 — How Homeowners Can Learn More & Access Energy Audits53:00 — Closing Tho

Folge #175, Thomas Knüwer, Chief Creative Officer von Accenture Song. Thema: Die neuen Kreativen „Ich glaube, Mindset wird wieder viel wichtiger, und das finde ich großartig. Das Mindesthaltbarkeitsdatum von Skillsets ist gerade ungefähr wie bei einer Tüte Milch. Morgen kommt das nächste Tool, übermorgen machen wir wieder was anderes. Dieser Turnaround ist so schnell, dass am Ende das Mindset entscheidet.“ Was Thomas Knüwer, Chief Creative Officer von Accenture Song, damit beschreibt, ist eine grundlegende Verschiebung im Selbstverständnis kreativer Arbeit. Wenn Tools und Produktionsmöglichkeiten immer zugänglicher werden und sich Skills im Wochentakt überholen, reicht es nicht mehr, „nur“ kreativ zu sein. Entscheidend wird, wer einordnet, kuratiert und Wirkung herstellt, für Marken, für Teams und für die Kultur, in der kreative Arbeit entsteht. In der neuen Episode von #WhatsNextCreatives sprechen Kim Alexandra Notz und Bärbel Egli-Unckrich mit Thomas über neue kreative Rollen und darüber, wie sie sich gerade neu sortieren. Es geht um Creative Consultants, die zwischen Business, Technologie und Marke vermitteln, um Inventors, die Ideen erfinden und ihre Stärke mit KI gezielt multiplizieren, und um Tastemakers, die nicht einzelne Assets auswählen, sondern die holistische Stimme einer Marke kuratieren und ihr Richtung geben. Im Zentrum steht die Frage, warum es heute nicht mehr reicht, allein auf handwerkliche Exzellenz zu setzen. Warum Mindset wichtiger wird als Skillset und weshalb kreative Führung bedeutet, Rahmenbedingungen zu schaffen, in denen unterschiedliche Profile wirken und sich weiterentwickeln können. Ein zentrales Thema ist dabei die Rolle von KI. Thomas beschreibt sie als Output-Demokratisierung und warnt zugleich vor dem Shortcut-Denken. Entscheidend ist nicht, ob Technologie genutzt wird, sondern wie bewusst. Responsible AI, kritisches Denken und eine lebendige Feedbackkultur werden zu zentralen Faktoren für kreative Exzellenz.

What if robots could handle tedious retraction, precise bone milling, or even autonomous suturing, freeing surgeons to focus on complex decision-making and more patients?In this episode of the Succeed In Medicine Podcast, Dr. Bradley Block speaks with Dr. Michael Yip, as he explains that today's robots primarily serve as extensions of human surgeons via teleoperation (e.g., da Vinci for precision in hard-to-reach areas), enhancing dexterity, visualization, and accuracy rather than replacing them. He highlights existing autonomous applications in "hard tissue" procedures like the Mako or Stryker robots for precise bone milling in joint replacements, and non-contact examples like CyberKnife for focused radiation therapy.For soft tissue surgery, the more challenging domain due to tissue deformation and variability, autonomy is emerging in simpler, repetitive tasks such as retraction, suctioning, or basic suturing, with demonstrations dating back 15 years but real-world deployment lagging due to engineering, data, and economic hurdles. Dr. Yip discusses why demos in controlled settings don't easily translate to ORs, the shift to data-driven AI (with risks of out-of-distribution failures), and regulatory challenges like FDA expertise gaps and defining probabilistic safety. He predicts stepwise adoption: starting with assistant-level tasks (replacing med student/intern roles in retraction/suction), then progressing to free surgeons for higher-value work, especially in underserved rural areas via telesurgery. Full "skin-to-skin" autonomy (e.g., simple lipoma excision or appendectomy) remains years away, limited by hardware combining strength, dexterity, and precision in one system, though teams of specialized robots could accelerate progress. Ultimately, robotics will alleviate surgeon burnout from growing demand, not eliminate jobs soon.Three Actionable TakeawaysEmbrace Robotics Early in Training: Surgeons and trainees should gain hands-on experience with diverse robotic technologies now, treating them as essential tools that augment precision and dexterity rather than threats to obsolescence.Focus on Repetitive Tasks for Autonomy Gains: Prioritize robotic assistance in tedious, physically demanding steps like retraction, suctioning, or basic closure to free up time, reduce fatigue, and improve efficiency in high-volume or resource-limited settings.Stay Informed on Regulatory and Economic Shifts: Monitor evolving FDA guidelines for AI/surgical autonomy, economic incentives (e.g., cost savings in joint replacements or anastomosis), and liability frameworks to prepare for integration that enhances patient access and outcomes.About the Show:Succeed In Medicine covers patient interactions, burnout, career growth, personal finance, and more. If you're tired of dull medical lectures, tune in for real-world lessons we should have learned in med school!About the Guest:Dr. Michael Yip is an Associate Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at UC San Diego and Director of the Advanced Robotics and Controls Laboratory (ARCLab). His research focuses on surgical robots, biomimetic design, robot learning, autonomous robotic surgery, and deformable tissue manipulation. He has received the NSF CAREER Award, NIH Trailblazer Award, IEEE RAS Distinguished Lecturer recognition, and was named Faculty Innovator of the Year at UCSD in 2024 and elected to the National Academy of Inventors. Previously a Disney researcher at Amazon Robotics, he holds a BSc in Mechatronics Engineering from the University of Waterloo, MS in Electrical Engineering from the University of British Columbia, and PhD in Bioengineering from Stanford University.Website: yip.eng.ucsd.edu and ucsdarclab.comAbout the Host:Dr. Bradley Block – Dr. Bradley Block is a board-certified otolaryngologist at ENT and Allergy Associates in Garden City, NY.

The best influencers (and elite athletes, artists and inventors) are boring. They are all about Mundanity: repeating the same few habits every single day (whether they feel like performing them or not) until these consistent practices incrementally morph into a tsunami of victory. Success lies in a masterful consistency around the fundamentals (please read that thrice). Don't complicate things. Just repeat a few routines staggeringly well. I recall learning from the excellent documentary Tyson that when Mike was at the top of his game as the undefeated heavyweight champion of the world, he only did three things: trained, ate and slept.I've created a powerful completely new online program called The Amazing Day Blueprint.

In this special episode, Leticia Caminero steps into the guest's seat to explore the ideas behind her book Protection for the Inventive Mind. Through an honest and reflective conversation, she shares how creativity, human-centered design, and intellectual property come together to turn fragile ideas into real, sustainable value. This episode is an invitation to think differently about innovation, protection, and the courage to build with intention.Ever had an idea feel bright in the shower and dim by lunchtime? We open the door to a different path: a living, pencil-in-hand guide for taking an idea from spark to market with intellectual property as structure, not handcuffs. Leticia moves from host to guest to share why she wrote Protection for the Inventive Mind and how it helps creators make small daily moves that reduce anxiety, protect originality, and build sustainable income.We walk through the mindset shift that turns books into workspaces and readers into builders. Instead of chasing a finish line like “file the patent,” we reframe protection as a bridge to value—licensing, partnerships, investment, and fair deals. You will hear how to sequence complexity, choose what to cut without losing the soul of the idea, and align patents, utility models, or industrial designs with a clear strategy. The String of Thought method takes center stage: an honest chain that captures fear, sparks, contradictions, and breakthroughs without polishing too soon. That chain becomes both creative x-ray and strategic map, revealing what deserves protection and where the market fit can take root.From user-first thinking to documentation practices that stand up in conflict, we stitch together design thinking, practical IP, and monetization in a humane way. This is about creative justice: giving your idea the structure it needs to breathe, be recognized, and be paid. If you are tired of vague advice and hungry for a process that respects both magic and rigor, this conversation will meet you where you are and move you one concrete step forward today.If this episode helps you see your idea more clearly, share it with a friend who needs a nudge.

How AI Is Democratizing Patent Protection: Insights from Ophir Katzir, Co-Founder & CEO of senseIPIn this episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur, host Josh Elledge sits down with Ophir Katzir, Co-Founder and CEO of senseIP, to explore how artificial intelligence is transforming the world of intellectual property (IP) and patent protection. With a background spanning volunteer firefighting, inventing, and startup leadership, Ophir brings a rare blend of resilience, technical expertise, and mission-driven innovation. This conversation offers a practical roadmap for inventors, founders, and enterprises ready to protect their ideas faster, more affordably, and more confidently using AI.How AI Is Reshaping Patent Protection for InnovatorsOphir begins by drawing parallels between firefighting and startups—two environments that demand calm decision-making under pressure, adaptability, and teamwork. Those same principles fuel senseIP's mission: breaking down traditional barriers in the patent system that have historically favored well-funded companies over individual inventors and early-stage founders.He explains why the legacy patent process is so intimidating: high attorney fees, complex legal language, lengthy timelines, and unpredictable costs tied to office actions. These hurdles often discourage innovators from filing at all. senseIP's AI-driven platform, guided by its conversational agent Leo, changes that. Inventors can start with a single sentence and receive instant clarity on patentability, prior art, freedom to operate, and whether their idea is truly novel.Finally, Ophir outlines how AI enables faster, more precise filings—along with ongoing support. From one-click provisional applications to automated handling of office actions, senseIP helps innovators protect their intellectual property without surprise bills or legal confusion. This shift democratizes access to patents and gives businesses of all sizes a smarter, more scalable way to manage their IP portfolios.About Ophir KatzirOphir Katzir is the Co-Founder and CEO of senseIP, a serial inventor, and a former volunteer firefighter whose resilience and problem-solving approach shape his leadership style. Passionate about democratizing innovation, Ophir blends deep technical expertise with a mission to make patent protection accessible, affordable, and transparent for everyone.Connect with Ophir on LinkedIn.About senseIPsenseIP is an AI-powered patent platform designed to simplify intellectual property protection for inventors, startups, and enterprises.

The Outer Realm welcomes Reinhard Denke and E. B. David Date: November 5th, 2025 EP: 637 TOPIC: Our Guests will be discussing their book " The Orb Incident - A True Account by E.B. David The Book: In the summer of 1982, something extraordinary happened in a silent forest of upstate New York—something that would alter one man's life forever. More than four decades later, screenwriter Reinhard Denke unexpectedly uncovered a long-hidden truth when a casual acquaintance, E. B. David, shared the harrowing details of that night for the very first time. What began as a simple recollection of a strangely glowing object soon unraveled into a chilling and deeply personal account of alien contact. Through an in-depth interview filled with probing questions and startling revelations, E. B. David describes not only the encounter itself, but also the profound psychological and physical effects that have haunted—and in some cases, enlightened—him ever since. Part confessional, part investigation, this gripping narrative offers a rare, intimate glimpse into one man's extraordinary experience with the unknown—and the lasting impact it has had on his life. This is the untold story of E. B. David. And it all began with a light in the sky.

Andrea Samadi revisits her 2019 conversation with neuroleadership pioneer Friederike Fabritius to explore practical neuroscience strategies for better productivity, well-being, and workplace happiness. On this episode, we'll learn: ✔ Why only 20% of people feel passionate about their jobs, and what we can do to change that. ✔ How to use neuroscience to reach peak performance or flow with your work. Neuroscientist and neuroleadership pioneer Friederike Fabritius shows us how three simple ingredients—FUN, FEAR, and FOCUS—can help us find flow and peak performance at work. We'll also explore why men and women often respond differently to stress, how to identify your unique neurosignature, and practical ways to design a workplace (and a life) that helps your brain thrive ✔ Learn the three key ingredients for flow—fun, fear (challenge), and focus—how the stress–performance curve affects apathy and burnout. ✔ Why tailoring roles to individual neurosignatures (dopamine, serotonin, testosterone, estrogen) can unlock peak performance. Welcome back to SEASON 14 of The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning and emotional intelligence training for improved well-being, achievement, productivity and results—using what I saw as the missing link (since we weren't taught this when we were growing up in school), the application of practical neuroscience. I'm Andrea Samadi, and seven years ago, launched this podcast with a question I had never truly asked myself before: (and that is) If productivity and results matter to us—and they do now more than ever—how exactly are we using our brain to make them happen? Most of us were never taught how to apply neuroscience to improve productivity, results, or well-being. About a decade ago, I became fascinated by the mind-brain-results connection—and how science can be applied to our everyday lives. That's why I've made it my mission to bring you the world's top experts—so together, we can explore the intersection of science and social-emotional learning. We'll break down complex ideas and turn them into practical strategies we can use every day for predictable, science-backed results. For today's Episode 373, we continue our journey into our mind with the next interview review. Just a reminder-this review series began back with Episode 366[i], where in Part 3 we discovered an important lesson: if we don't like our results—or what we see on the outside—we need to shift our mindset and look within. True change always begins on the inside. We moved onto EP 369[ii] we learned how to Rewire our Brain with Dr. Dawson Church and his Bliss Brain Meditations, and then EP 370[iii] with John Medina's Brain Rules, where we reviewed how important this understanding of neuroscience is, especially connected to education, teaching and learning. Next we went deeper into our mind and brain with EP 371 and 72 where we with clinical professor of psychiatry from UCLA's School of Medicine, Dr. Daniel J Siegel and his Mindsight concept, which is the same idea as Theory of Mind, or seeing the mind in another. All of these episodes are helping us to further sharpen of minds and brains, and connect better with others, for improved productivity and success in our work and personal lives. For today's EP 373, we go back to EP 27[iv], recorded October 2019, with pioneer in neuroleadership, neuroscientist, Friederike Fabritius[v], from Germany. On this episode, we covered her book, The Leading Brain: Neuroscience Hacks to Work Smarter, Better and Happier. Friederike returned again to the podcast, for EP 258[vi] recorded in November 2022 advancing our conversation with her next book, The Brain Friendly Workplace. Both of these interviews covered important tips that I think we should all take into consideration to be happier, and therefore, more productive at work. Going along with our theme-that if we don't like what's going on outside of ourselves, let's dive deeper into understanding how our brain and minds work. Which brings us back to FRIEDERIKE FABRITIUS, MS, is a neuroscientist and pioneer in the field of neuroleadership. She trained at the Max Planck Institute for Brain Research and is an alumna of McKinsey & Company (helping organizations to create change). Friederike delivers brain-based leadership programs to Fortune 500 executives and organizations around the globe to transform how they think, innovate, and navigate change. I'm always looking for productivity tips that we can all use, and it's clear that stress in our workplaces is at an all-time high, globally. We know that “2/3 of people report being stressed at work, to the point they can't sleep at night”[vii] and in our first clip, Friederike reports that “only 20% of people feel passionate about their jobs” and that “40% of people never experience FLOW in their jobs.” I think there has to be another way to find balance here. VIDEO 1 Click Here to Watch Let's listen to Friederike's clip on: Why FUN, FEAR, and FOCUS Matter for Flow & Peak Performance “Only 20% of people feel passionate about their jobs. That's insane. And 40% of people never experience FLOW in their jobs. And (she thinks) it can be that simple. That everyone can be happy at their jobs. All you need are three simple things. (Friederike calls them ) FUN, FEAR, and FOCUS. And it has to do with a certain mix of neurochemicals in our brain. When we are having fun at work (not the after work party kind of fun) where you have fun after the work is done. I'm thinking of having fun related to the task at hand. And when we are having fun, our brains release a neurochemical called dopamine. Dopamine is a real brain booster. It makes you think faster. It helps you to do everything a bit speedier and better, and makes us more creative.”

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
Alan provides a new Thursday Thought episode. Alan encourages inventors not to make the mistake of "paying for the chandeliers." Inventors often overpay for services they need - by contracting with companies that charge premium prices, for unneeded services. Alan describes how to pay for what you need, at affordable prices. Be sure to subscribe to the podcast on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts, so you won't miss a single episode. Website: www.alanbeckley.com

Mildred Smith’s invention was about family, and it grew from her disability after she developed multiple sclerosis.
