What happens when a nuclear chemist pivots into industrial water treatment? In this episode, host Trace Blackmore is joined by Dr. Jasbir Gill, President at Water Energy Solutions Inc, whose career spans five decades of breakthrough innovations in water chemistry and sustainability. From developing predictive modeling systems to creating new polymer standards, Dr. Gill shares how scientific rigor and practical experience came together to shape tools still used today.   “We were not just saving water—we were calculating the true cost of energy and environmental impact.” From Nuclear Chemistry to Water Treatment  Dr. Gill begins by tracing his academic roots in nuclear and inorganic chemistry from IIT Roorkee, followed by early post-doctoral research in Italy and England. While initially headed for a career in nuclear separations, a chance encounter rerouted his path to the U.S., where his work at SUNY Buffalo introduced him to the intricacies of water chemistry. That foundational knowledge laid the groundwork for his transformative career at Calgon, and later Nalco.   The Birth of CalGuard: Predictive Modeling Ahead of Its Time  In one of the most compelling parts of the episode, Dr. Gill walks us through the creation of CalGuard—an award-winning predictive modeling tool that transformed how chemical dosing and scaling behavior are calculated. Integrating thermodynamic principles, field data, and statistical regression, the CalGuard model helped standardize customized water treatment programs across regional chemistries and system variables.   Defining the Water-Energy-Carbon Nexus  A highlight of Dr. Gill's later career came when he began asking hard questions about sustainability. How much energy is consumed per gallon of water saved? What's the carbon footprint of that savings? He shares compelling stories of his work with nuclear power plants, showing how acid use for pH control contributed to CO₂ emissions—insights that later shaped his independent firm, Water Energy Solutions.   From Chromate to Phosphate: Reinventing Treatment Chemistry  When chromate was phased out of industrial water treatment, Dr. Gill was at the forefront of developing phosphate-based alternatives. He recounts the invention of the AAM 60/40 copolymer in his lab—now an industry standard—and how field trials and real-time testing guided product refinement. This section underscores how practical chemistry, adaptability, and client trust converge to move the industry forward.   The J-Factor and Real-World Impact  Dr. Gill explains his invention of the J-factor—a conversion metric allowing new inhibitors to be benchmarked against legacy ones. Developed through comparative field tests and algorithmic modeling, the J-factor exemplifies the intersection of empirical science and industry need, with wide applicability even decades later.   Final Reflections: Leadership, Teamwork, and Lifelong Curiosity  In the closing segment, Dr. Gill reflects on the importance of teamwork, adaptability, and focusing on one's work amid organizational change. His stories—from field trips in Montana to building mobile labs for rapid field testing—reveal the human side of technical innovation.  This episode is more than a lesson in chemistry—it's a case study in innovation, leadership, and long-term thinking. Dr. Gill's insights remind us that successful water treatment isn't just about products; it's about persistence, systems thinking, and data-driven action.  Share this episode with colleagues committed to impactful, sustainable water management.

Leonardo da Vinci, un erudito italiano del siglo XV de imaginación desbordante y profundo intelecto, creó algunas de las obras de arte más veneradas de todos los tiempos. Sin embargo, sus esfuerzos artísticos a veces parecían secundarios a sus aficiones en ciencia e ingeniería. A través de sus pinturas y los miles de dibujos y escritos que dejó, este documental de PBS explora una de las mentes más curiosas e innovadoras de la humanidad. Comenzó pocos cuadros y terminó incluso menos, pero más de quinientos años después de su muerte, los que dejó atrás se cuentan entre las obras de arte más reverenciadas de todos los tiempos. Un dibujante de incomparable talento, hacía bocetos de todo: personas y paisajes, flora y fauna, máquinas tanto reales como imaginarias, ecuaciones, fábulas y alegorías.

The genius of Leonardo da Vinci remains unparalleled and his works of art and scientific knowledge are world renowned. One thing you might not know about him is that he also cultivated a small piece of land – about 8000 m² (a little under two acres) - as a courtyard vineyard. In 1498 the Duke of Milan, Ludovico Il Moro, gave this piece of land to da Vinci in part as a form of payment for The Last Supper painting, but above all it was a way to grant Milan citizenship to da Vinci. In some of his writings Leonardo da Vinci talks about his vineyard. And!... If you haven't yet read Leonardo da Vinci by Walter Isaacson then it's time you get your hands on the book! It's his life story and shares every fascinating detail about the genius: his art and creativity that encompasses every aspect of life. It's a must-read: “A powerful story of an exhilarating mind and life...a study in creativity: how to define it, how to achieve it.” —The New Yorker.

Ne zamandır Fransa 2024 Olimpiyatları'nda epeyce tartışılan “din”, “dinin görünümü” ve “sporda dindarlık” konusunu yazmaya niyetliyim ama yoğun gündem fırsat tanımadı. Etrafımız ateş çemberi iken şimdi bu konunun sırası mı? Evet, tam sırası. Şöyle izah etmeye çalışayım: 2024 Olimpiyatları'nın açılış töreni sembollerle doluydu; en çok konuşulan ise, Leonardo Da Vinci'nin, Hz. İsa ve Havarilerini resmettiği meşhur “Son Akşam Yemeği” tablosunun, gayet uygunsuz ve edepsiz biçimde sahnelenmesi oldu. Hz. İsa ve Havarilerine yapılan bu hakaretler Hristiyan dünyada tepkileri üzerine çekti, özellikle Katolik din adamları gösteriyi kınadılar. Fransa ise gösterinin Fransa'nın “hoşgörü” ve “renkliliğini” yansıttığını söyledi.

Christy brings through Carl Sagan and Leonardo Da Vinci. They discuss how Vitruvian Man is a map to the Great Pyramid, the sacred geometry hidden in The Last Supper, and the alpha constant – where physics, biology, and metaphysics converge. We ask more about Locus Harmonia, not just a place, but a dimensional resonator and a living invitation that helps your soul recalibrate. We'll dive into Carl Sagan's perspective on extraterrestrial life and humanity's unique illusion of separation.

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. 

En 1513, la ciudad de Roma dio la bienvenida a un nuevo Papa, León X. El nuevo pontífice, miembro de la famosa familia Médici, asumió el poder cuando la Ciudad Eterna estaba experimentando una gran transformación urbana. Muchos artistas se ocuparon de este colosal proyecto de construcción y, tres grandes maestros de la pintura, Leonardo da Vinci, Miguel Ángel y Rafael, se encontraban en esa misma ciudad al mismo tiempo.

Não faz muito tempo que tivemos por aqui um episódio sobre a leitura de clássicos. Foi com a Amara Moira, lá na edição 182 do podcast. Hoje volto ao tema. Não por ter necessariamente novas perguntas para fazer, mas porque acho que sempre vale a pena ouvir como outros leitores se relacionam com os livros fundamentais da história literária. Por que lê-los? Como lê-los? Tá tudo bem amar uns e odiar outros? O que fazer diante da impossibilidade de ler tudo o que gostaríamos? Como, afinal, lidar com os clássicos? Há muitas respostas tão possíveis quanto válidas para cada uma dessas questões. Hoje, quem responde parte delas é Livia Piccolo. Formada em Artes Cênicas na USP e mestre em interlinguagem, Lívia está à frente do canal da editora Antofágica no Youtube, onde os vídeos sobre autores clássicos costumam ser alguns dos mais assistidos pelos leitores. * Aqui o caminho para a newsletter da Página Cinco: https://paginacinco.substack.com/ ** Na imagem do episódio, Dama com Arminho, de Leonardo Da Vinci.

Episode: 3040 Leonardo and Borelli.  Today, two hemispheres come together.

Ludovico Maria Sforza detto il Moro: biografia e pensiero del principe a capo del Ducato di Milano dal 1480 al 1494. La sua corte fu una delle più splendide del Rinascimento europeo.

Leonardo Da Vinci started his artistic journey at the age of 14, beginning as a studio boy to Andrea del Verrocchio. Verrocchio taught Leo the ropes in sculpting, painting, casting, leather work, amongst other things, until Da Vinci stepped in to paint a couple angels in a mostly complete "The Last Baptism". Verrocchio looked at his work, looked at Da Vinci's and legend has it he set down his brush for good at that point, seeing himself surpassed already by Da Vinci's talent. Achieving the status of Master at age 20, Da Vinci would embark upon a lifetime of creating Art, developing machines and mechanical theories, studying and documenting human anatomy, building weapons and more. The very definition of a Renaissance Man in every way, join us as we go deep into Da Vinci. Support the show

“If we train our children only to harvest, who will plant the seed?”I wrote those words after contemplating the short-sightedness of so-called, “performance marketing,” on March 11, 2010.“Performance marketing” is the new name for direct response advertising. It works best when it extracts the value from a well-known brand. Its objective is to bring in a lot of money quickly.That is why business owners are attracted to it.But here's the caveat: value cannot be extracted from a brand unless it has first been created. You cannot squeeze a good reputation dry unless you first build a good reputation.Do you see the problem? When you have finally squeezed the last ounce of value from a good reputation, you don't have a good reputation anymore.As I was contemplating that last line I just wrote, the words “extraction of value” popped into my mind. I typed those words into the Google search bar. The AI Overview that appeared at the top of the page whispered to me in a conspiratorial tone: “‘The extraction of value' refers to the process of capturing or appropriating value from other stakeholders, often through exploiting a monopoly or manipulating competitive market processes, rather than creating new value.” – WIKIPEDIAThe eight words that leaped out of the paragraph were, “exploiting… or manipulating… rather than creating new value.”Do you remember that famous scene in the movie There Will Be Blood when Daniel says to Eli,“If you have a milkshake, and I have a milkshake, and I have a straw… There it is. that's the straw, you see? Watch it. Now my straw reaches acroooooooss the room and starts to drink your milkshake. I… drink… your… milkshake! I drink it up!”That is the voice of performance marketing.The healthy alternative to performance marketing is sales activation within a relational ad campaign.Sales activation is like shearing the wool from a sheep. You can do it again and again and the creature is never diminished by it.Performance marketing is like slaughtering that poor sheep, piece by piece. It is painful, and there is nothing left when you are done.I apologize for putting that horrible image into your mind, but we are talking about your business.I'm sorry if I stepped over the line.Roy H. WilliamsYou will find 4 examples of what the wizard calls “sales activation within a relational ad campaign” on the first page of the rabbit hole. I can hear what you are thinking right now. And to that, I say, “You're welcome.” – Indy BeagleRoving reporter Rotbart will be away on a secret mission in Italy for the next two weeks. He didn't tell us exactly what it was, but here are our top 3 guesses. One: He is studying the original manuscripts of Leonardo Da Vinci for a special series of investigative reports to be aired on PBS this autumn. Two: The roving reporter was invited to the Vatican to meet with the Pope. Three: There is no secret mission. He is just eating gelato at a seaside cafe with his lovely wife, Talya, while gazing at the beautiful Mediterranean Sea. We will update you next week when we know more. – Ian Rogers

Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519) never signed a painting, and none of his supposed self-portraits can be securely ascribed to his hand. He revealed next to nothing about his life in his extensive writings, yet countless pages have been written about him that assign him an identity: genius, entrepreneur, celebrity artist, outsider. Addressing the ethical stakes involved in studying past lives, in Leonardo da Vinci: An Untraceable Life (Princeton University Press, 2025) Dr. Stephen J. Campbell shows how this invented Leonardo has invited speculation from figures ranging from art dealers and curators to scholars, scientists, and biographers, many of whom have filled in the gaps of what can be known of Leonardo's life with claims to decode secrets, reveal mysteries of a vanished past, or discover lost masterpieces of spectacular value. In this original and provocative book, Dr. Campbell examines the strangeness of Leonardo's words and works, and the distinctive premodern world of artisans and thinkers from which he emerged. Far from being a solitary genius living ahead of his time, Leonardo inhabited a vibrant network of artistic, technological, and literary exchange. By investigating the politics and cultural tensions of the era as well as the most recent scholarship on Leonardo's contemporaries, workshop, and writings, Dr. Campbell places Leonardo back into the milieu that shaped him and was shaped by him. He shows that it is in the gaps and contradictions of what we know of Leonardo's life that a less familiar and far more historically significant figure appears. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Es uno de los mayores expertos del mundo en la figura y la obra de Leonardo da Vinci. Con voz pausada, Carlo Vecce propone un apasionante viaje en el tiempo para descubrir la época de Leonardo. También para comprender al ser humano que subyace tras el mito del genio. Este profesor italiano trabaja directamente con los manuscritos, dibujos, códices y obras de Da Vinci. Revisando estos documentos, un día llegó a uno de los descubrimientos más importantes sobre la vida de Leonardo: su madre, Caterina, era una esclava del Cáucaso. Un hallazgo que impactó al mundo del arte y que, para Vecce, significó una comprensión más profunda del Leonardo más humano: “El legado que Caterina dejó a su hijo fue el espíritu de libertad. Toda su obra está dominada por el espíritu de libertad, Leonardo era un hombre libre, sin barreras ni limitaciones en su investigación intelectual y científica”, explica. En este viaje a las luces y las sombras del Renacimiento, Carlo Vecce explica algunas de las obras más importantes de Leonardo y de su legado histórico, tanto para el arte como para la ciencia. Según afirma: “Podemos traer muchas cosas de la época renacentista a nuestro tiempo, como los grandes valores humanistas, que deberíamos defender siempre”, concluye. Carlo Vecce ha sido profesor en las universidades de la Sorbona y Los Ángeles, en el Institute of Advanced Studies de Durham y en la École Normale Supérieure de Lyon. Ha dirigido programas de cooperación cultural en India y China, y es miembro de la prestigiosa Accademia dei Lincei, donde encabezó un proyecto de reconstrucción de la biblioteca de Leonardo que condujo a la organización de exposiciones en la propia Academia, en el Museo Galileo de Florencia, la Universidad de Stanford y en el Instituto Max Planck de Berlín. Actualmente enseña literatura italiana en la Università Orientale de Nápoles. Es autor de numerosos ensayos, entre los que destaca ‘Vida de Leonardo' (2025), considerada la biografía definitiva sobre Leonardo da Vinci y su novela ‘Caterina' (2024), sobre la madre de Leonardo da Vinci.
