He delivers with integrity and precision and has offered invaluable help to people traumatised in the aftermath of earthquakes in New Zealand and Japan, as well as helped in the aftermath of war in Eastern European countries. He has been described as “modest and very personable, and reading about the difference his NLP work has made, especially in response to a crisis, is pretty amazing.”    Richard has many professional trainings and qualifications.

The experience of having a Prime Minister and Head of Police in his training Richard's process for helping someone clarify what's important enough for them to commit to change before doing anything to interrupt a behaviour Out-thinking your fast brain and making healthy food choices The benefits of incorporating playfulness  Recognising the part intergenerational trauma plays in the Ukraine and Gaza Treating moral trauma We would love to know what stood out the most for you in this episode.

The “dewilding” effects of fish farming and mariculture are in the spotlight this week. Farmed fish can impact marine ecosystems in several ways, and surprisingly one of those is the effect it has on consumer perceptions of the impact of eating farmed fish, as researchers Becca Franks of NYU and Laurie Sellars at Yale suggest. Meanwhile, Manu Prakesh and colleagues at Stanford University in the US have found a remarkable plankton that can traverse the depths of the oceans by ballooning to five times its size, giving clues as to how an important carbon sink actually works. And Monika Bright at the University of Vienna has found animals and tubeworms living in the very rock below volcanic hydrothermal vents. Life finds a way… …But not always. 445 million years ago the second worst mass extinction event wiped out countless species of life on earth. But why? This week astronomer Chrysa Avdellidou of Leicester University and colleagues say they have found the origin for a famous meteor event that also happened around that time.

Adrian Goldberg gets out and about to the Cotswolds with Corinne Fowler, author of "Our Island Stories: Country Walks Through Colonial Britain" and Professor of Colonialism and Heritage at Leicester University. They visit Sezincote, a remarkable country house that - unusually - gives a visual nod to the Imperial plunder which helped fund its construction. Corinne explains that although much of our rural landscape was fashioned by Empire, the source of that wealth was often hidden. She also talks candidly about coming under attack from the right wing press after writing a report for the National Trust about the link between historic houses, and colonialism and slavery.

Today we are celebrating the release of our 200th episode of the podcast! To mark this special occasion, we have invited some of our past guests back to record an episode focused on the important topic of ‘school attendance'. Suzy Rowland, Sarah-Jane Critchley and Fintan O'Regan join me, not only will you hear our familiar voices, but you'll also see us live as we have video recorded the episode for the first time! The controversial DfE campaign “Attendance Matters” received criticism and trivialised some of the complex reasons why children may not attend school. It failed to adequately address the challenges faced by students with SEND or those with mental health issues. Did you know that 92% of those non-attending are neurodivergent and 83.4% are autistic? The assumption that the best place for ALL children to be is in school – but is it when their needs aren't being met? In this episode we explore various aspects of non-attendance including; zero tolerance, bullying, systems and policies, self-determination theory and much more. “These are really serious, complicated, complex issues that, in a way, lumping it all together as ‘school non-attendance' doesn't even begin to explain some of the nuances of what's happening in individual families.” Suzy Rowland Thank you for your continued support of the podcast! I'd be really interested in hearing what you thought of the video – so if you end up watching it please let me know what you think!   About Sarah-Jane Critchley Sarah-Jane Critchley is passionate about helping autistic people, their families, friends and supporters live happier lives of their own choosing.

Artificial intelligence is being harnessed by a team of researchers at Leicester University in the United Kingdom to predict the risk of lymphedema (and potentially other toxicities) from the use of postoperative radiation therapy for breast cancer. The 2024 European Breast Cancer Conference heard the latest news on an artificial intelligence tool that promises to help cancer clinicians individualize radiotherapy regimens after surgery to minimize toxicity. Tim Rattay, MBChB, PhD, Associate Professor in Breast Surgery in the Leicester Cancer Research Centre at the University of Leicester and Consultant Breast Surgeon at the University Hospitals of Leicester in the UK, told the conference about his group's machine-learning algorithm, PRE-ACT (Prediction of Radiotherapy side Effects using explainable AI for patient Communication and Treatment modification), that predicts post-operative lymphedema. After reporting his research in Milan, Rattay called into the OncTimesTalk studio to give Peter Goodwin the details.

The impact of a teacher's style and approach can be profound, especially when it comes to students with special educational needs (SEN) and behaviour challenges. Some teachers effortlessly handle students perceived as "difficult", while others struggle and resort to excessive punishment. On this week's podcast, we're discussing teacher styles for supporting SEN and behaviour with our regular guest Fintan O'Regan. Fintan looks a 3 specific types of teacher style and considers the merits of each - are you a controller, a friend, or a benevolent dictator? Controller – These subject specialists adopt a "my way or the highway" mentality, often displaying rigid behaviour management techniques. Friend – Teachers with a friendly approach aim to be liked by their students. They create a classroom environment based on negotiation and democratic principles. Benevolent Dictator – These teachers strike a balance by setting clear rules and expectations while remaining realistic and making reasonable adjustments to accommodate students' needs. It is crucial that teachers themselves, recruiters, and those involved in teacher training consider what it takes for the vision of every teacher to be a teacher of every child. This includes those who appear ready and available to learn and those that have SEND. Listen to explore the considered merits of the 3 teacher styles, which Fintan perceives to be the most effective, and strategies and potential outcomes with each approach. “You have to find a way that suits your style within the institution you're in and be allowed to flourish.” Fintan O'Regan, Behaviour and SEN Consultant   About Fintan O'Regan MA, PGCE BSc    He was the Head teacher of the Centre Academy from 1996 -2002, which was the first specialist school in the UK for students between the ages of 7-19 specialising issues related to ADHD, ASD and ODD.     He is an associate lecturer for Leicester University, the National Association of Special Needs, the Institute of Education, the Helen Arkell Dyslexia Centre and the former Vice Chairman of the UK ADHD Network and of the European ADHD Alliance.   Fintan now works as trainer and consultant for schools and school support systems including, Social Services, Health, the Police and Foster carers   with regards to providing behaviour management strategies for children and families struggling with SEND and behaviour issues.    Contact Fintan https://twitter.com/fintanoregan https://www.facebook.com/FintanORegansBehaviourManagementConsultancy/ fjmoregan@aol.com   Useful Links The Teacher's Toolkit The Top Traits of an Effective SEN Teacher 10 Essential Skills Every Special Education Teacher Needs Successfully Teaching and Managing Children with ADHD   ·         B Squared Website – www.bsquared.co.uk  ·         Meeting with Dale to find out about B Squared - https://calendly.com/b-squared-team/overview-of-b-squared-sendcast  ·         Email Dale – dale@bsquared.co.uk  ·         Subscribe to the SENDcast - https://www.thesendcast.com/subscribe   The SENDcast is powered by B Squared We have been involved with Special Educational Needs for over 25 years, helping show the small steps of progress pupils with SEND make.

Ranj tells me that General Practice in an exciting specialty with wide variety of conditions and interactions. Good communication skills and teamwork are important, as is an ability to manage uncertainty. We discuss the many different ways that GPs can work, including portfolio careers. I love the way his Practice has created structures that enable staff to connect and get support from each other.Dr Ranj Sagoo is a UK trained and GMC licenced doctor of over 15 years' experience. He gained his medical degree (MBCHB) at Leicester University in 2006 after which he trained in Orthopaedics and Surgery before becoming a GP in 2013 obtaining Membership of the Royal College of General Practitioners (MRCGP).Early in his GP career he developed an interest in Dermatology and completed the Cardiff Diploma of Practical Dermatology, followed by the Cardiff Certificate in Dermoscopy. Combining this with his surgical skills Dr Ranj developed an expertise in diagnosing and managing chronic skin conditions, diagnosing skin lesions and performing skin surgery.As he progressed in his career Dr Ranj felt that there was so much more that we can do to help people not only manage their health problems but prevent them from occurring. Dr Ranj has a firm belief that we are in control of our health and those people that struggle with their health have the power within them to regain that control. We are not destined to develop certain conditions because they are in the family, nor should people feel restricted by their health problems as they are very reversible. Dr Ranj began to look at health as a complex interaction of multiple contexts of life. Core to his belief is seeing the person as a whole and not the illness that they present with. Developing a deeper understanding of the person, their values, purpose and their circumstances, holds the key to helping them with their health problems.He began to explore the psychology of health behaviour and the drivers of motivation to change. Dr Ranj developed an awareness of the need for a more holistic approach to health and wellbeing. He developed a fascination with lifestyle and nutritional approaches to health and wellbeing. He has since become certified in counselling, a Professional Coach and NLP Practitioner accredited by the Association of Professional Coaches (APC) and European Association of Neurolinguistic Programming (EANLP). Dr Ranj has also achieved the Level 3 Award for Nutritional Intervention in Exercise, Wellbeing and Weight Management with the Association for Nutrition (AfN) and completed the Diploma of Lifestyle Medicine with the British Society of Lifestyle Medicine (BSLM) and is a Certified Lifestyle Medicine Physician.  With his Health & Wellbeing programs, Dr Ranj helps clients achieve their health goals by bringing together his wealth of knowledge in conventional, nutritional and lifestyle medicine. Using his skills in counselling, coaching and NLP he helps clients make deep discovery, find alignment with their values and make sustainable life-long change. A true journey to creating a healthier and happier life, not only for the client but their family and loved ones through transferable learning.Outside of medicine, Dr Ranj is an Award-winning Fine Art wildlife artist, having won the 2022 BritishContemporary.Art ‘Artist of the Year' award. He is also keen on sports and fitness and enjoys playing football, tennis, and kickboxing. As well as this Dr Ranj enjoys travelling and exploring different cultures and cuisines with his family.You can find him at www.drranjsagoo.com, Instagram @drranj_healthcoach; Youtube @drranj_healthcoach; www.linkedin.com/in/dr-ranjit-sagoo; and https://www.facebook.com/groups/drranjsagoo/.

The Vikings have a fair claim to being the most overly-eroticised group of people in history. It's fair to say this is somewhat reductive.What forms did sexuality take in Viking society? How was magic a part of their understandings of sexuality? And what were their attitudes to sexual violence?Joining Kate today to tell us more is Marianne Hem Eriksen, Associate Professor of Archaeology at Leicester University. Marianne is also leader of Body Politics, a research project which is looking at, amongst other things, sexuality in the Viking Ages.This episode was edited by Tom Delargy.

~Co-presented with Commonweal's Collaborative for Health and the Environment~ We're now in the dangerous, uncharted territory climate scientists have been warning about for decades. Meanwhile, biologists and toxicologists are sounding the alarm about surpassing the “planetary boundary” for chemical pollution, beyond which both ecosystems and our health are endangered. We know climate change and chemical pollution are related in ways that can accelerate both crises, but does their interlinked nature also offer opportunities? Join Host Kristin Schafer with biologist and systems thinker Dr. Elizabeth Sawin and chemicals expert and clean production advocate Beverley Thorpe as they explore opportunities to prioritize solutions that concurrently address climate change and the global crisis of chemical contamination — while also improving public health, equity and economic vitality. Multisolving Institute a think-do tank that helps people implement solutions that protect the climate while improving, equity, health, biodiversity, economic vitality, and well-being. Beth writes and speaks about multisolving, climate change, and leadership in complex systems for both national and international audiences. Her work has been published widely, including in Non-Profit Quarterly, The Stanford Social Innovation Review, U.S. News, The Daily Climate, and System Dynamics Review. In 2010, Beth co-founded Climate Interactive, which she co-directed until 2021. Since 2014, Beth has participated in the Council on the Uncertain Human Future, a continuing dialogue on issues of climate change and sustainability. She is a biologist with a PhD from MIT who has been analyzing complex systems related to climate change for 25 years. Beth trained in system dynamics and sustainability with Donella Meadows and worked at Sustainability Institute, the research institute founded by Meadows, for 13 years. Beth has two adult daughters and lives in rural Vermont where she and her husband grow as much of their own food as they can manage. Beverley Thorpe Beverley is Co-Founder of Clean Production Action, and has researched and promoted clean production strategies to advance a non-toxic economy internationally since 1986. She was the first clean production technical expert for Greenpeace International on chemical and waste issues. Bev's work on alternatives to PVC, organohalogens and hazardous waste incineration helped drive momentum for safer substitution practices in company practices. As the NGO representative in the first United Nations Environment Programme for Cleaner Production, she promoted the value of public participation in industrial policies. Bev received her degree in Geography from Leicester University, UK and is an annual lecturer at Lund University in Sweden on chemicals policy and corporate practices. She is a past Director of Greenpeace International and a founding board member of the Story of Stuff in the US. She lives in Toronto, Canada. Host Kristin Shafer Kristin is director of Commonweal's Collaborative for Health and the Environment, and three decades of experience in the field of environmental health and justice. After working as a Communications Specialist at EPA and with World Resources Institute in Washington, DC, she moved back to Northern California where she held various roles—including executive director—over her 25-year tenure at Pesticide Action Network (PAN) North America. Kristin holds a Masters in Social Change and Development from Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies. She lives with her husband in downtown San Jose where she loves to bike ride and garden, and currently serves as board co-chair for the community-building urban farm, Veggielution.

Desde la colonia hasta nuestros días, esta obra explora diversos casos de liderazgo empresarial femenino en Chile. Un compendio único en América Latina, que ofrece un conjunto de investigaciones de destacadas académicas acerca del rol de las mujeres como empresarias o ejecutivas, en diversos ámbitos y circunstancias a lo largo de nuestra historia. El uso de fuentes inexploradas a la fecha dota al libro de un carácter inédito, y permite revisar antecedentes sobre los diversos vehículos que permitieron o facilitaron el ejercicio de la autonomía económica de la mujer en un pasado no muy distante, mostrando cómo, a pesar del patriarcado imperante, y de otros obstáculos, la actividad empresarial femenina ha sido más común e importante de lo que tendemos a asumir en base a la evidencia fragmentaria hasta ahora disponible. Así, este libro salda una gran deuda de la historiografía respecto a los factores contextuales e individuales que han permitido a la mujer chilena, a lo largo de la historia, asumir roles de liderazgo empresarial, contribuyendo a la historia del género en Chile.

Un compendio único en América Latina, que ofrece un conjunto de investigaciones de destacadas académicas acerca del rol de las mujeres como empresarias o ejecutivas, en diversos ámbitos y circunstancias a lo largo de nuestra historia. El uso de fuentes inexploradas a la fecha dota al libro de un carácter inédito, y permite revisar antecedentes sobre los diversos vehículos que permitieron o facilitaron el ejercicio de la autonomía económica de la mujer en un pasado no muy distante, mostrando cómo, a pesar del patriarcado imperante, y de otros obstáculos, la actividad empresarial femenina ha sido más común e importante de lo que tendemos a asumir en base a la evidencia fragmentaria hasta ahora disponible. Así, este libro salda una gran deuda de la historiografía respecto a los factores contextuales e individuales que han permitido a la mujer chilena, a lo largo de la historia, asumir roles de liderazgo empresarial, contribuyendo a la historia del género en Chile.

Why is it that so little is known or mentioned about Conduct Disorder especially as terms such as ADHD and ODD are pretty much established in schools across the UK? Conduct Disorder is to some extent more specific in many of its symptoms than other behaviour terms and has been a constant in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). It's as if we are afraid to talk about let alone diagnose it, so in this week's episode, Fintan O'Regan joins Dale in the studio to shed light on the term ‘Conduct Disorder' and why so little is talked about it. During our discussion, Fintan gives an overview of Conduct Disorder, explaining its defining characteristics and the behaviours observed in school settings. Listen to hear valuable strategies to support pupils and gain insights into distinguishing between impulsive behaviours associated with ADHD and the calculated, premeditated actions associated with Conduct Disorder. “The approach you would take for someone who's non premeditated versus someone who is premeditated is different”.

Marin Alsop is one of the most famous conductors in the world. Ten years ago, she became the first woman to conduct the Last Night of the Proms at the Royal Albert Hall. Now she is giving the European premiere of Too Hot To Handel: The Gospel Messiah!, a reimagining of Handel's Messiah Marin tells Hayley Hassell why she wanted to rework the piece, and looks back over her illustrious career as a conductor. The actor Diana Quick joins Hayley to discuss her role as Mrs Wentworth in a new series The Famous Five – and describe how the classic adventures have been brought to life with a new, fresh, modern reimagining of Enid Blyton's iconic stories.The Centre for Women's Justice is campaigning to prevent unjust criminalisation of victims and survivors of domestic abuse. Hayley is joined by director of the CWJ, Harriet Wistrich, and former director of Southall Black Sisters, Pragna Patel.What can we tell about medieval women's lives from studying their skeletons? Dr Sarah Inskip from Leicester University has been part of a team excavating Cambridge graveyards for a new research project called After the Plague. She has found evidence that some medieval women did very strenuous work that changed the shape of their upper bodies; others were trading and travelling across Europe, and many would have existed in chronic pain.Producer: Hannah Sander Presenter: Hayley Hassell

Pupils can be described as exceptionally gifted, talented or highflyers but often that ‘gift' is hiding something else and there is no hint of SEN within that description. It is estimated that 5-10% of children identified as having high ability also have a special education need or disability. Have you heard of DME and 2E? Fintan O'Regan joins Dale to introduce the terms ‘Dual and Multiple Exceptionality' (DME or 2E - Twice Exceptional in America) in today's podcast. DME refers to individuals who possess exceptional abilities or talents in combination with one or more learning or developmental disabilities. These individuals demonstrate both high cognitive potential as well as specific learning challenges or disabilities. During the episode, Fintan highlights the 4 types of DME and discusses how individuals' exceptional abilities can mask or overshadow their challenges, making it challenging to identify and provide appropriate support. Conversely, their disabilities can sometimes mask their strengths, leading to unfulfilled potential and missed opportunities. By recognising and addressing the needs of Dual and Multiple Exceptional individuals, we can create an environment that nurtures their strengths, supports their challenges, and enables them to reach their full potential across all areas of their lives.

How many hours do you spend sitting down per day? Six? Maybe eight? Or 10? Between commuting, working and relaxing, sitting can soon add up to hours and hours. In this week's Inside Health we're going to delve into the science to find out exactly how much sitting is too much; when does it become worrying for our health? James visits the lab at Leicester University where he meets Professor Charlotte Edwardson to explore what prolonged sitting does to the body and he'll find out whether there's anything you can do to offset the effects of sitting a lot. We'll hear about the origins of sitting research - and just because we like to explore every angle on a topic, we'll hear all about why standing too much can also be a worry. James visits a school in east London where the children are really focusing on how much time they spend sitting. They're taking part in the Active Movement programme with the aim of bringing lots of action into the school day - and take it home too. Sounds nice and relaxing doesn't it?

History definitely hasn't always been kind to older women, words like hag, crone and witch weren't uncommon, and women were described as hysterical, "bleare eyed, pale and fowle", although always, it would appear, by men. Dr Helen Foster is a historian and a creative writing practitioner working at Leicester University, and in this episode, recorded for The Generation Exceptional Podcast, she shares how she got involved with recording the real life testimonies of women and their personal stories of going through the menopause transition to create 'A Silent Archive'. The Silent Archive You can listen to some compilations on the East Midlands Oral History Archive pages on the University of Leicester website https://le.ac.uk/emoha/themes/the-silent-archive. Writing Workshops Helen will be running a series of writing workshops around these themes in March 2023. The workshops are free (with Wellcome Trust funding through the University of Leicester) and offer a safe space for women who are interested to explore their lived experiences of menopause through reflective and creative writing. No writing experience is necessary. Workshops are being held on the following dates: Monday 20 March 12:30pm - 2:00pm at Attenborough Arts Centre, Leicester Tuesday 21 March 12:30pm - 2:00pm at Attenborough Arts Centre, Leicester Wednesday 22 March 10:30am - 12:00pm at Attenborough Arts Centre, Leicester Monday 27 March 6:00pm - 7:30pm online Tuesday 28 March 6:00pm - 7:30pm online Thursday 30 March 6:00pm - 7:30pm online Bookings will open on Eventbrite soon.

Veterans In Politics- Season 6, Episode 5- Rachel Hopkins MP- Shadow Veterans' Minister in her first ever podcast interview.We return with yet another Shadow Defence team interview with newly appointed Shadow Minister Rachel Hopkins MP.  We have sat down with two of her predecessors and were only too pleased to be able to record this chat with her, in what is her first ever podcast interview!We chat about the term 'veteran' and its application Vs the term 'ex forces' as well as her efforts engaging with the armed forces community in her role as Labour's lead on veterans' affairs. And here's a little about Rachel:'I'm local and love my diverse home town of Luton where I have lived virtually all my life. I was born in the Luton & Dunstable Hospital, I grew up in Biscot and went to Denbigh High School. I studied at Luton Sixth Form College, before going to Leicester University. My first Saturday job was in Littlewoods in the Arndale (now Primark) and my first full-time job was at the TSB bank customer service centre that used to be on Cardiff Road. Later on in life, as part of my 20+ year career working in the public sector and wider civil service, I studied part-time for a Masters degree at the University of Bedfordshire in Luton.I live in High Town with my partner Iain and, like you, I use our local services – I take the train from Luton Station, I shop locally (on High Town Road or Bury Park Sainsbury's) and have gone to Woodland Avenue GP surgery since I was a baby! I'm active in supporting our Luton community, I've been a governor at Luton Sixth Form College since 2014 and I'm a regular volunteer at Luton Foodbank.Having spent my life in Luton, with family and friends across the constituency, I know Luton South like the back of my hand.Since childhood, I've always stood up for fairness and equality for all. This developed into a deep sense of social justice, which I have held all my life, and that is why I joined the Labour Party as a teenager. As a trade unionist, I have stood up for people's rights at work and against attacks on pay and pensions.'For more information on our epic sponsors Salesforce, see here: https://www.salesforce.com/uk/and Vetforce, here: https://veterans.force.com/s/And Rachel's website is here: Rachel Hopkins MP

The Doctor' first opened at the Almeida in 2019 Juliet Stevenson's performance was described as ‘one of the peaks of the theatrical year'. Now on stage in London's West End the play has again been highly applauded by the critics. Juliet joins Emma Barnett to discuss playing Dr Ruth Wolff, medical ethics, identity politics, anti-Semitism, media witch hunts and the way institutions protect themselves against criticism. It's been 40 years since The Secret Diary Of Adrian Mole Aged 13 ¾ by Sue Townsend was published. On New Year's Day 1981 Adrian lives in Leicester. His parent's relationship is rocky, money is tight. He is worried about his spots and the length of his penis and he yearns for Pandora a girl from school who is from the posh part of town. Joining Emma are Dr Emma Parker, Associate Professor of English working on Twentieth Century women's writing at Leicester University and the writer Cathy Rentzenbrink. What does the diary of a teenage boy tell us about the lives of girls and women in the early 80's? We hear from the Miriam Cates, MP for Penistone and Stocksbridge who yesterday at PMQ's asked Liz Truss about the charity Mermaids which offers support around gender and identity to children and young people up to 25 years old and is currently the subject of a regulatory compliance case by the Charity Commission. Plus Paralympian swimmer Ellie Simmonds talks about her Strictly Come Dancing journey and the impact of the online trolling she's received since taking part in the show.

The birth of DNA fingerprinting will forever be tied to Leicester, England. It was invented in a lab in the city's university by Alec Jeffreys in 1984. And it was in the outskirts of the city that it was first used to catch a murderer – Colin Pitchfork who raped and killed the young girls Lynda Mann and Dawn Ashworth.It has gone on to revolutionise policing.Our guest to tell this story is Turi King who was taught by Alec Jeffreys and is now professor of public engagement at Leicester University and the inhouse geneticist on the BBC TV show ‘Family Secrets'.Since this is the final episode in our mini-series on forensics we thought it would be nice to round things out with a chat with a real forensic scientist. Niamh Nic Daeid is the head of Leverhulme Research Centre for Forensic Science in Dundee. We talk about the realities of being a forensic scientist today and what the future might hold.Produced by Freddy ChickEdited by Thomas NtinasExecutive Producer was Charlotte Long Hosted on Acast.

On Monday 26 September, Jupiter will make its closest approach to Earth for 59 years, giving astronomers and stargazers a unique opportunity to observe and study the planet. To mark this moment, we spoke to planetary scientist Dr Jonathan Nichols from Leicester University, to understand the significance of this cosmological event and find out how new research is rewriting what we know about the enigmatic giant in our midst. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

How hard is it to get to Mercury and why are we going? Also, do science festivals work? And why did mammals survive when dinosaurs died? Marnie Chesterton and guests dissect. As this programme went out, scientists and engineers eagerly wait for new images of the planet Mercury to arrive, snapped from a speeding probe passing just 200km from the surface, as it desperately tries to shed some velocity on its seven-year braking journey. ESA/JAXA's BepiColombo mission to Mercury is using gravitational swing-shots (just four more to go) to lose enough energy to eventually, in Dec 2025, enter orbit around the planet closest to our sun. Dr Suzie Imber of Leicester University has skin in the game, being co-investigator on one of the instruments that will eventually be able to teach us more than we've ever known about this bizarre world. Suzie is also last year's winner of the Royal Society's Rosalind Franklyn Award, and works hard doing science outreach talks and events to help inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers. Thurs 23rd June is International Women in Engineering Day, celebrating remarkable engineering as a career option. Report Emily Bird goes along to the Great Exhibition Road Festival to see how science festivals such as this one can help raise the profile of engineering and scientific endeavours in the society of tomorrow. One thing most kids like is Space. The other is dinosaurs. But what about long-dead Mammals? Prof Steve Brusatte of Edinburgh university is a palaeontologist and author whose last book on dinosaurs even led to him being consulted for the latest film in the Jurassic Park franchise. Why then does his new book focus on furrier beings in The Rise and Reign of The Mammals? He tells Marnie of the exciting millions of years of evolution that led to us, after the dinosaurs croaked their last,.

In this episode, Lyn talks to Emeritus AC Bradley Professor of Modern Literature at Liverpool University Kelvin Everest and writer, lecturer and poet Dr Jane Bluett, who is the poetry editor for English In Education. Monica and Philip met in Leicester in 1947, and although Philip soon left Leicester for Belfast and then Hull, Monica stayed as a lecturer at Leicester University for the next 34 years until her retirement. Their life long love affair was a source of great joy and great anguish for both of them. Kelvin tells us about his two years working alongside Monica as a young lecturer in the late 1970s. Jane reflects on Monica's role as the woman in the background - like Emma Hardy or Viv Eliot - and discusses her influence on Larkin's poetry. Monica was born on 7th May 2022 and so this podcast marks her centenary which, of course, she shares with Philip Larkin. Having met through their shared background of poetry and education, Lyn and Jane also read their own poems about Philip Larkin. References: Philip Larkin: Letters to Monica ed.

If risk management underpins everything we do in the security industry, why is the delivery of high level training so underserved? And why are the requisite skills not valued more by all practitioners? We're joined by Dr David Rubens, founder and executive director of the ISRM (Institute of Strategic Risk Management), as well as MD and CEO of Deltar Training Solutions.  On today's episode, we're going to explore what the the professionalization of risk management means to protective services and why it's relevant. We'll also be asking… Is there's a shortage of risk management skills within the industry and why? Why are there not more compelling arguments for acquiring recognised risk management qualifications earlier in a career?  For operators wondering where to spend their CPD budget? Is risk management something that is going to have immediate returns or do the rewards come later into your career? Should RM Training be incorporated into the basic training modules of executive and close protection?  What is the ISRM doing to address the skills shortage and plug the gaps? Today's episode is very much for anyone looking for longevity in the industry. If you value professionalisation and are prepared to invest in yourself, this one's for you. And as David reminds us... “Qualifications don't get you a job. But not having qualifications will stop you getting a job when you get to a certain level.” More about David: Dr. David Rubens DSyRM, CSyP, FSyI is a leading authority on the strategic management of complex operations in crisis environments. He gained his MSc in Security & Risk Management from Leicester University in 2006, and was subsequently a Visiting Lecturer and Dissertation Supervisor on their Terrorism, Security and Policing MSc programme (2006-12), and a Visiting Lecturer on the Strategic Leadership Programme at the UK Defence Academy (2010-11). David has worked with academic institutions including John Jay University (New York) and Stellenbosch University (South Africa), and has recently worked with the Arab Urban Development Institute (AUDI) on developing a multi-stage programme that can support regional implementation of the Sendai Framework. David has also consulted on major national capability development programmes in West and East Africa, Middle East and SE Asia. https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-david-rubens-a752265/ (LinkedIn) https://theisrm.org/ (ISRM) More about the Circuit: The Circuit Magazine is written and produced by volunteers, most of who are operationally active, working full time in the security industry.

Dr Gujral has extensive experience in research. He has been part of various landmark studies in the UK as well as the US. He is an editor and reviewer for various clinical journals nationally and internationally. One habit to pick up now (and never put down again): Take a few minutes to learn one new thing every day. Dr. Jaspal Gujral attributes his competency to this simple habit, and believes that success comes from being unstoppable when it comes to learning. He advises students in any stage of their journey to be persistent and self-motivated. At the same time, he recommends being humble at all costs. And to know when to say no. As he puts it best: Find what interests you, and try to do that. Don't try to do everything. Pearls of Wisdom: 1. The key to competency, and ultimately to success: Learn something new every day. 2.
