This episode was released for Friends of the Podcast subscribers at the start of the year and, with the 2025 UCI Gravel World Championships taking place in Maastricht in the Netherlands over the weekend, we're making the episode available for everyone to listen to in the build-up to the race. So, let's go back to October 2024... (This episode is part of our Friends of the Podcast series. It will be available on our regular feed until the end of the weekend. To sign up as a friend go to thecyclingpodcast.com) Last October, Lionel Birnie and Simon Gill went to Leuven in Belgium for the third edition of the UCI Gravel World Championships. They'd made the journey across the channel to the Flanders Classics many times but this was their first trip to a gravel race and they were keen to see what this overnight sensation (which was more than a century in the making) was all about. They meander through the history of gravel racing, examine where gravel and road converge, and take part in the Rainbow Gravel Ride, the sportive for amateur riders held on the finishing loop of the World Championship course. In this episode we hear from two American riders, Ian Boswell and Larry Warbasse, about their experiences of gravel racing, Colin Clews, the organiser of the Cicle Classic in Britain – a road race with gravel that preceded the current trend by a decade or so – and Connor Swift, who was in the thick of the racing in Leuven.

In this episode, we talk to political journalist Seb Whale about his new book The Usual Channels, which reveals the hidden world of Westminster's whips. Seb charts how party discipline has evolved – from the stormy politics of the 1970s and the Maastricht battles of the 1990s to the legendary “black book,” the Brexit showdowns and the short-lived Liz Truss premiership. He explains how the whips' office has adapted to a modern Parliament—especially with the influx of women MPs—and why, even today, whips still wield decisive influence over MPs' careers and remain indispensable despite the pressures of contemporary politics.___ Please help us improve Parliament Matters by completing our Listener Survey.

It lifts the lid on how these behind-the-scenes powerbrokers have shaped British politics for decades.Seb shares how he interviewed dozens of current and former whips to piece together the real story – tracking their evolution from the days of Humphrey Atkins, Walter Harrison and Jack Weatherill in the stormy 1974–79 Parliament, through the Maastricht battles of the 1990s, the Brexit upheavals under Theresa May and Boris Johnson, and the dramatic downfall of Liz Truss.We explore how the arrival of many more women MPs under New Labour, the rise of social media, and a more independently minded generation of backbenchers have forced whips to adapt their tactics – without losing their grip on ministerial careers or party discipline. Seb also reveals the truth behind the legendary “black book” of MPs' secrets and the enduring mix of “carrot and stick”.The conversation highlights why the relationship between the Government whips' office and Number 10 has been decisive – from Margaret Thatcher's exit to Liz Truss's collapse – and looks ahead to the whips' future in a Commons marked by high turnover, a commanding majority and ever-fractious politics. Despite these pressures, Seb argues, the whips remain the unseen grease that keeps the machinery of Parliament running.

Danny from Scotland joins Matt, Cheryl, and Dave to break down Hybrid Games Glasgow: the good, the messy, and what needs fixing. We dig into course layout, why 600-meter runs and “slightly higher-skill” movements attracted CrossFit-leaning athletes, and where judging fell short — especially on dumbbell snatches, lunges, and wall balls. We read the Hybrid Games movement standards as written and ask the basic question: if the rules don't demand lockout, are the “ugly” reps actually legal? Then we pivot to HYROX: Elite 15 changes, the new coaches' zone and its rules, floor-flow tweaks at Maastricht, Boston's venue layout and sales dynamics, and timing challenges for late-December races like Vancouver. Big picture: mass-participation hybrid events need movements that scale and judging that's consistent, especially in elite waves where times, rankings, and livelihoods are on the line.

Hoe kan een eeuwenoude traditie als de vrijmetselarij relevant blijven in de 21e eeuw? Willem, een vrijmetselaar met 11,5 jaar ervaring en vele functies op zijn naam, neemt geen blad voor de mond in deze openhartige aflevering.Willem kwam bij de vrijmetselarij terecht na een gesprek met een vriend op het perron in Maastricht. Hij zocht intellectuele uitdaging en diepgang in gesprekken – en vond dit deels. Door de jaren heen heeft hij echter steeds meer vragen gekregen over de toekomst van de vrijmetselarij.Met een prikkelende stelling zet hij de toon: "Als je alleen maar met de vorm bezig bent zonder de inhoud te begrijpen, vind ik het een poppenkast." Willem worstelt met de spanning tussen de rituelen en tradities enerzijds, en de behoefte aan vernieuwing en maatschappelijke relevantie anderzijds. Hij verbaast zich over de hoeveelheid dogma's binnen een organisatie die zichzelf als vrijdenkend beschouwt.Zijn kritiek is scherp maar komt voort uit oprechte betrokkenheid. Met 6000 leden in Nederland vindt Willem dat de vrijmetselarij te weinig impact heeft. Hij pleit voor minder geheimzinnigheid, een duidelijke marketingstrategie en het omarmen van concrete maatschappelijke doelen. "De wereld heeft echt behoefte aan ons," stelt hij, wijzend op de toenemende polarisatie in de samenleving.Deze aflevering biedt een kritische blik van binnenuit. Willem's eerlijke reflectie op zijn eigen toekomst binnen de vrijmetselarij maakt dit gesprek extra waardevol voor iedereen die geïnteresseerd is in de worsteling van traditionele genootschappen in een snel veranderende wereld.Luister naar deze aflevering voor een verfrissend perspectief op de uitdagingen en mogelijkheden van de moderne vrijmetselarij.Support the show
He was born to a noble family in Maastricht (in modern-day Netherlands). When his spiritual father Bishop Theodard was killed in 671, St Lambert was elected Bishop of Maastricht despite his youth. He was loved by his flock for his holiness, ascetic labors and almsgiving, but was driven from his see in 675 after his patron King Childeric II was assasinated. He withdrew to the Monastery of Stavelot where he lived for seven years as one of the brethren, claiming no privileges despite his office. Once, getting up to pray during the night, he accidentally disturbed the monastic silence. The Abbot called out for whoever was responsible to do penance by standing barefoot in the snow before a cross outside the monastery church. In the morning the Abbot was dismayed to see the Bishop standing barefoot, covered with snow, before the cross, his face shining. The Abbot sought to apologize, but Lambert replied that he was honored to serve God like the Apostles, in cold and nakedness. When King Pepin of Heristal took power in 681, he restored Lambert to his see, despite the Saint's desire to remain in obscurity. The holy bishop renewed his pastoral labors with vigor, visiting the most distant parishes and preaching the Gospel to the pagans who still inhabited the area, despite danger and threats. But when King Pepin put away his wife and replaced her with his concubine Alpais, St Lambert was the only Bishop who dared to rebuke him. For this he incurred the wrath of Alpais, who ordered his death. His assassins carried out their evil commission, even though they found a cross shining above the humble dwelling where he was staying. Saint Lambert is one of the best-loved Saints of the Netherlands and Belgium, where many parish churches are dedicated to him. His relics are now in the Belgian city of Liège.

Listen to ASCO's JCO Oncology Practice Art of Oncology article, "No Versus Know: Patient Empowerment Through Shared Decision Making” by Dr. Beatrice Preti, who is an Assistant Professor at Emory University. The article is followed by an interview with Preti and host Dr. Mikkael Sekeres. Dr Preti explores the challenges which may prevent oncologists from fully engaging with patients during shared decision making. TRANSCRIPT Narrator: No Versus Know: Patient Empowerment Through Shared Decision Making, by Beatrice T.B. Preti, MD, MMed, FRCPC During a recent clinic, I saw three patients back-to-back, all from minority backgrounds, all referred for second opinions, all referenced in the notes for being different forms of difficult. Refused chemo, refused hospice, read one note. Refused surgery and chemo, read another, unsure about radiation. Yet, despite the documented refusals (I prefer the term, decline), they had come to my clinic for a reason. They were still seeking something. As an oncologist trained in a program with a strong emphasis on shared decision making between physician and patient, I approach such situations with curiosity. I consider optimal shared decision making a balance between the extremes of (1) providing a patient complete choice from a menu of treatment options, without physician input, and (2) indicating to a patient the best course of treatment, in the eyes of the physician.1 This is a balance between beneficence (which can often turn paternalistic) and patient autonomy and requires a carefully crafted art. Many of my consults start with an open question (Tell me about yourself…?), and we will examine goals, wishes, and values before ever touching on treatment options. This allows me to take the knowledge I have, and fit it within the scaffold of the patient in front of me. A patient emphasizing quantity of life at all costs and a patient emphasizing weekly fishing trips in their boat will receive the same treatment option lists, but with different emphases and discussions around each. Yet, many physicians find themselves tending toward paternalistic beneficence—logical, if we consider physicians to be compassionate individuals who want the best for their patients. All three patients I saw had been offered options that were medically appropriate, but declined them as they felt the options were not right for them. And all three patients I saw ended up selecting a presented option during our time together—not an option that would be considered the best or standard of care, or the most aggressive treatment, but an option that aligned most with their own goals, wishes, and values. This is of particular importance when caring for patients who harbor different cultural or religious views from our own; western medicine adopts many of its ideas and professional norms from certain mindsets and cultures which may not be the lenses through which our patients see the world. Even when a patient shares our personal cultural or religious background, they may still choose a path which differs from what we or our family might choose. It is vital to incorporate reflexivity in our practice, to be mindful of our own blinders, and to be open to different ways of seeing, thinking, and deciding. I will admit that, like many, I do struggle at times when a patient does not select the medically best treatment for themselves. But why? Do we fear legal repercussions or complaints down the road from not giving a patient the standard of care (often the strongest treatment available)? Do we struggle with moral distress when a patient makes a choice that we disagree with, based on values that we ourselves do not hold? Do we lack time in clinics to walk patients through different options, picking the method of counseling that allows the most efficiency in packed clinical systems? Is it too painful a reminder of our mortality to consider that, especially in the setting of terminally ill patients, aiming for anything other than a shot at the longest length of life might be a patient's preference? Or are we so burnt out from working in systems that deny us sufficient choice and autonomy (with regards to our own work, our own morals, and our own lives) that, under such repeated traumas, we lose touch with the idea of even having a choice? I have a number of patients in my clinic who transferred care after feeling caught between one (aggressive) treatment option and best supportive care alone. They come looking for options—an oral agent that allows them to travel, a targeted therapy that avoids immunosuppression, or a treatment that will be safe around dogs and small children. They are looking for someone to listen, to hold their hand, to fill in the gaps, as was told to me recently, and not skirt around the difficult conversations that both of us wish we did not have to have. Granted, some of the conversations are challenging—requests for ivermectin prescriptions, for example, or full resuscitation efforts patients with no foreseeable chance of recovery (from a medical standpoint) to allow for a possible divine miracle. However, in these cases, there are still goals, wishes and values—although ones that are not aligned with evidence-based medical practice that can be explored, even if they are challenging to navigate. As my clinic day went on, I spoke with my patients and their loved ones. One asked the difference between hospice and a funeral home, which explained their reluctance to pursue the former. Another asked for clarification of how one treatment can treat cancer in two different sites. And yet still another absorbed the information they requested and asked to come back another day to speak some more. All questions I have heard before and will continue to hear again. And again. There is no cure for many of the patients who enter my GI medical oncology clinic. But for fear, for confusion, perhaps there is. Cancer wreaks havoc on human lives. Plans go awry, dreams are shattered, and hopes are crushed. But we can afford some control—we can empower our patients back—by giving them choices. Sometimes, that choice is pitiful. Sometimes, it is an explanation why the most aggressive treatment option cannot be prescribed in good faith (performance status, bloodwork parametres), but it is a choice between a gentle treatment and no treatments. Sometimes it is a choice between home hospice and a hospice facility. I teach many of the learners who come through my clinic about the physician's toolbox, and the importance of cultivating the tools of one's specific specialty and area of work. For some (like surgeons), the tools are more tangible—physical skills, or even specific tools, like a particular scalpel or retractor. For others, like radiologists, it might be an ability—to recognize patterns, for example, or detect changes over time. For those of us in medical oncology, our toolbox can feel limiting at times. Although we have a handful of treatments tied to a specific disease site and histology, these often fall short of what we wish we could offer, especially when studies cite average survivals in months over years. But one of our most valuable tools—more valuable, I would argue, than any drug—is the communication we have with our patients, the way we can let them know that someone is there for them, that someone is here to listen, and that someone cares. Furthermore, the information we share—and the way we share it—has the potential to help shape the path that our patient's life will take moving forward—by empowering them with information to allow them to make the decisions best for them.2 Although having such conversations can be difficult and draining for the oncologist, they are a necessary and vital part of the job. My clinic team knows that we can have up to six, seven such conversations in the course of a half-day, and my clinic desk space is equipped for my between-patient routine of sips of tea and lo-fi beats, a precious few moments left undisturbed as much as possible to allow a bit of recharging. By finding a safe space where I can relax for a few moments, I can take care of myself, enabling me to give each of my patients the time and attention they need. When patients thank me after a long, difficult conversation, they are not thanking me for sharing devastating, life-altering news of metastatic cancer, prognoses in the order of months, or disease resistant to treatment. They are thanking me for listening, for caring, for seeing them as a person and affording the dignity of choice—autonomy. I have had patients make surprising decisions—opting for no treatment for locally-advanced cancers, or opting for gentle treatment when, medically, they could tolerate stronger. But by understanding their values, and listening to them as people, I can understand their choices, validate them, and help them along their journey in whatever way possible. Providing a choice affords a suffering human the right to define their path as long as they are able to. And we can give patients in such situations support and validation by being a guide during dark days and challenging times, remembering that medically best treatment is not always the best. When a patient says no to offered options, it does not (necessarily!) mean they are rejecting the expertise of the physician and care team. Rather, could it be a request to know more and work together with the team to find a strategy and solution which will be meaningful for them? Mikkael Sekeres: Welcome back to JCO's Cancer Stories: The Art of Oncology. This ASCO podcast features intimate narratives and perspectives from authors exploring their experiences in oncology. I'm your host, Mikkael Sekeres. I'm Professor of Medicine and Chief of the Division of Hematology at the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, University of Miami. Today we're joined by Beatrice Preti, Assistant Professor at Emory University, Adjunct Professor at Western University, and PhD candidate with Maastricht University, to discuss her JCO Oncology Practice article, "No Versus Know: Patient Empowerment Through Shared Decision-Making." At the time of this recording, our guest has no disclosures. Beatrice, thank you so much for contributing to JCO Oncology Practice and for joining us to discuss your article. Beatrice Preti: Well, thank you so much for having me today. Mikkael Sekeres: It's an absolute treat. I was wondering if we could start with sort of a broad question. Can you tell us about yourself? What was your journey like that landed you where you are right now? Beatrice Preti: Oh goodness, that's a very loaded question. Well, I am originally from Canada. I did all my training in Canada at a couple of different schools, McMaster, Queens, Western University. Before medicine, I was always interested in the arts, always interested in writing, always interested in teaching. So that's something that's really, I guess, come forth throughout my medical practice. During my time at Western, I trained as a gastrointestinal medical oncologist, so that's my clinical practice. But on the side, as you've noted, I've done some work in medical education, got my Masters through Dundee, and now doing my PhD through Maastricht in the Netherlands, which I'm very excited about. Mikkael Sekeres: That's fantastic. What's your PhD in? Beatrice Preti: Health Professions Education. Mikkael Sekeres: Wonderful - can never get too much of that. And can I ask, are you at the stage now where you're developing a thesis and what's the topic? Beatrice Preti: Yeah, absolutely. So the program itself is almost exclusively research based. So I'm thinking of more of a social psychology side, looking at impression management and moral distress in medical trainees, and really along the continuum. So what we're looking at is when people act in ways or feel that they have to act in ways that aren't congruent with what they're feeling inside, why they're doing that and some of the moral tensions or the moral conflicts that go along with that. So a good example in medicine is when you're with a patient and you have to put on your professional face, but inside you might be squirming or you might be scared or worried or anxious or hungry, but you can't betray that with the patient because that would be unprofessional and also unfair to the patient. Mikkael Sekeres: Wow, that's absolutely fascinating. How does that change over the course of training? So how does it change from being a medical student to a resident or fellow to a junior faculty member? Beatrice Preti: So I'm only one year into the PhD, so I don't have all the information on this as yet. Mikkael Sekeres: You don't have all the answers yet? What are you talking about? Beatrice Preti: Yeah, they're telling me I have to finish the PhD to get all the answers, but I think that we certainly are seeing some kind of evolution, maybe both in the reasons why people are engaging in this impression management and the toll it takes on them as well. But stay tuned. It might take me a couple of years to answer that question in full. Mikkael Sekeres: Well, I just wonder as a, you know, as a medical student, we go into medical school often for reasons that are wonderful. I think almost every essay for somebody applying to medical school says something about wanting to help people, right? That's the basis for what draws us into medicine. And I wonder if our definition of what's morally right internally changes as we progress through our training. So something that would be an affront to our moral compass when we start as a medical student may not be such an affront later on when we're junior faculty. Beatrice Preti: Yes, definitely. And I think there's a lot of literature out there about coping in the medical profession because I think that by and large, especially in the lay community, so premedical students, for example, but even within our own profession as well, we don't really give enough credence to the impact a lot of the things that we do or witness have on us personally. That lack of insight doesn't allow us to explore coping mechanisms or at least think things through, and oftentimes what we're seeing is a survival instinct or a gut reaction kick in rather than something that we've carefully thought through and said, you know, “These situations are stressful for me, these situations are difficult. How can I cope? How can I make this more sustainable for me, knowing that this is an aspect of medicine that really isn't escapable.” Mikkael Sekeres: What a fascinating topic and area to be studying. I can't wait for all of the findings you're going to have over the course of your career. But oncology is a field that's, of course, rife with these sorts of conflicts. Beatrice Preti: Yeah, definitely. Mikkael Sekeres: I'm curious if you can talk a little bit about your own story as a writer. You say you've always been a writer. How long have you been writing reflective pieces? Beatrice Preti: Oh, goodness. So there's certainly a difference between how long I've been writing reflective pieces and how long I've been writing good reflective pieces. I can vaguely remember, I think being perhaps 10 years old and writing in school one recess period, sort of both sides of a loose leaf piece of paper, some form of reflection that would have ended up straight in the rubbish bin. So that was probably when it started. Certainly in medical school, I published a fair bit of reflective writing, poetry. That continued through residency, now as a junior attending as well. Mikkael Sekeres: Well, you're excellent at it and I can't see any rubbish can that would accept your pieces for the future. If you feel comfortable doing so, can you tell us what prompted you to write this particular piece? Beatrice Preti: Yes. So this piece was written Friday night around 9:00, 10:00 at night, literally at the end of the clinic day that I described. Coming on the heels of talking about coping, I think for many people in medicine, writing is a coping mechanism and a coping strategy that can be quite fruitful and productive, especially when we compare it to other potential coping strategies. Sometimes it's certainly difficult to write about some of the things we see and certainly it's difficult sometimes to find the words. But on this particular night, the words came quite easily, probably because this is not an isolated incident, unfortunately, where we're seeing patients coming for second opinions or you're encountering patients or you're encountering people who you are not directly treating in your everyday life, who express frustrations with the health care system, who express frustrations with not feeling heard. I think all you have to do is open social media, Facebook, Reddit, and you'll see many, many examples of frustrated individuals who felt that they weren't heard. And on one hand, I'm not naive enough to think that I've never left a patient encounter and had that patient not feeling heard. I'm guilty of many of the same things. Sometimes it's nothing that we've done as physicians, it's just you don't develop a rapport with the patient, right? But it made me think and it made me wonder and question, why is there this mismatch? Why are there so many patients who come seeking someone who listens, seeking a solution or a treatment that is maybe not standard, but might be a better fit for them than the standard? As you know, oncology is very algorithmic, and certainly, as many of the the fellows and residents who come into my clinic learn, yes, there are guidelines and yes, there are beautiful flow charts that teach us if you have this cancer, here's the treatment. But for me, that's only half of the practice of oncology. That's the scientific side. We then have the art side, which involves speaking to people, listening to them, seeing them as people, and then trying to fit what we're able to do, the resources we have, with what the patient's goals are, with their wishes or desires are. Mikkael Sekeres: I completely agree with you. I think sometimes patients come to our clinics, to an examination room, and they look at it as a place to be heard, and sometimes a safe space. You'll notice that, if you've been practicing long enough, you'll have some couples who come in and one of our patients will say something and the partner will reflect and say, "Gee, I never heard you say that before. I never knew that." So if people are coming in expecting to be heard in a safe space, it's almost nowhere more important to do that when it comes to treating their cancer also. Beatrice Preti: Yes. And as I say again to many of our learners, different specialties have different tools to treat or help alleviate sickness, illness, and suffering. For example, a surgeon has quite literal tools. They have their hands, they have their eyes, they're cutting, they're performing procedures. By and large, especially in medical oncology, we are quite limited. Certainly I have medications and drugs that I can prescribe, but in the world of GI oncology, often these are not going to lead to a cure. We are talking about survival in the order of months, maybe a year or two if we're very lucky. So the tool that we have and really the biggest, best treatment that we can give to our patients is our words and our time, right? It's those conversations that you have in clinic that really have the therapeutic benefit or potential for someone who is faced with a terminal illness and a poor prognosis more so than any drug or chemotherapy that I can give as a physician. Mikkael Sekeres: I love the notion that our words and our time are our tools for practicing medicine. It's beautiful. You mentioned in your essay three patients who, quote, and you're very deliberate about using the quote, "refused" because it's a loaded term, "refused" recommended medical intervention such as chemotherapy or surgery. Can you tell us about one of them? Beatrice Preti: Ah, well, I would have to be quite vague. Mikkael Sekeres: Of course, respecting HIPAA, of course. We don't want to violate anything. Beatrice Preti: But I think that was another thing too on this day that struck me quite a bit that it was three patients back to back with very similar stories, that they had been seen at other hospitals, they had been seen by other physicians - in one case, I think a couple of different physicians - and had really been offered the choice of, “Here is the standard of care, here is what the guidelines suggest we do, or you can choose to do nothing.” And certainly in the guidelines or in recommended treatment, you know, doublet chemotherapy, triplet therapy, whatever the case may be, this is what's recommended and this is what's standard. But for the patient in front of you, you know, whose goal may be to go to the beach for two months, right? “I don't want to be coming back and forth to the cancer center. Can I take a pill and maybe get blood work a few times while I'm there?” Or you have a patient who says, “You know, I tried the chemotherapy, I just can't do it. It's just too strong. And now they've told me I have to go to hospice if I'm not going to take the recommended treatment.” While in the guideline this may be correct for this patient who's in front of you, there may be another option which is more, in quotes, “correct”, because, is our goal to kill as many cancer cells as we can? Is our goal to shrink the cancer as much as we can? Is our goal even to eke out the maximum survival possible? As an oncologist, I would say no. Our goal is to try to line up what we can do, so the tools, the medications, the chemotherapies, the drugs that we do have in our tool kit, and the symptom medications as well, and line those up with what the patient's goals are, what the patient's wishes are. For many people, I find, when faced with a terminal illness, or faced with an illness with poor prognosis, their goal is not to eke out the last breath possible. They start to look at things like quality of life. They start to look at things like hobbies or travel or spending time with family. And oftentimes, the best way to facilitate that is not by doing the most aggressive treatment. Mikkael Sekeres: In my memory, you evoke an essay that was written for JCO's Art of Oncology by Tim Gilligan called "Knuckleheads" where he had a patient who was, big quotes, "refusing" chemotherapy for a curable cancer. And one of his colleagues referred to the patient as a knucklehead and they asked Tim to see the patient to try to suss out what was going on. And Tim, he used one of our tools. He talked to the person and it turns out he was a seasonal construction worker and it was summer and he was a single dad where the mother of his children wasn't involved in their care at all. And the only way he had to make money during the year was the work he did during the summer because he couldn't work in the winter. So for very primal reasons, he needed to keep working and couldn't take time to take chemotherapy. So they were able to negotiate a path forward that didn't compromise his health, but also didn't compromise his ability to make a living to support his family. But again, like you say, it's that people bring to these interactions stories that we can't even imagine that interfere with our recommendations for how they get cared for. Beatrice Preti: That's a beautiful example of something that I really do try to impress on my learners and my team in general. When someone comes to you and if a recommendation is made or even if they are skeptical about a certain treatment pathway, there is always a ‘why'. One of the challenges and one of the things that comes with experience is trying to uncover or unveil what that ‘why' is because unless you address it and address it head on, it's going to be very difficult to work with it, to work with the patient. So as you said, it's common people have family obligations, job obligations. Oftentimes as well, they have personal experience with certain treatments or certain conditions that they're worried about. Perhaps they had a loved one die on chemotherapy and they're worried about toxicities of chemo. And sometimes you can talk through those things. That needs to be considered, right? When we talk about shared decision-making, you, the patient, and it might be an experience that the patient has had as well that are all in the room that need to be taken into account. Mikkael Sekeres: You invoke the phrase "shared decision-making," which of course, you talk about in your essay. Can you define that for our listeners? What is shared decision-making? Beatrice Preti: Oh, goodness. There are different definitions of this and I am just cringing now because I know that my old teachers will not be happy regardless of what definition I choose. But for me, shared decision-making means that the decision of what to do next, treatment along the cancer journey, etc., is not decided by only one person. So it is not paternalism where I as the physician am making the decision. However, it's not the patient unilaterally making their own decision as well. It's a conversation that has to happen. And oftentimes when I'm counseling patients, I will write down what I see as potential treatment options for this patient and we will go through them one by one with pros and cons. This is usually after an initial bit where I get to know the patient, I ask them what's important to them, who's important in their life, what kind of things do they enjoy doing, and trying to weave that into the counseling and the discussion of the pros and cons. Ultimately, the patient does make the choice, but it's only after this kind of informed consent or this informative process, I guess, so to speak. And for me, that is shared decision-making where it's a conversation that results in the patient making a decision at the end. Mikkael Sekeres: You know, it's so funny you use the word ‘conversation'. I was going to say that shared decision-making implies a conversation, which is one of the reasons I love it. It's not a monologue. It's not just us listening. It's a back and forth until you know, we figure each other out. Beatrice Preti: Yes. Mikkael Sekeres: I wonder if I could ask you one more question. In your essay, you ask the question, "Do we struggle with moral distress when a patient makes a choice that we disagree with based on values that we ourselves do not hold?" Do you think you can answer your own question? Beatrice Preti: So this is getting to my academic work, and my PhD work that we spoke a little bit about in the beginning. I think it's something that we need to be mindful of. Certainly in my training, certainly when I was less experienced, there would be a lot of moral distress because we are not all clones of each other. We are people, but we have our own beliefs, we have our own backgrounds, we have our own experiences. There are times when people, and not just in medicine, but certainly in medicine, certainly patients make decisions that I don't quite understand because they are so different from what I would make or what I would choose for myself or for a family member. On the flip side, I think I've gotten myself, and I've had enough experience at this point in my career, to be able to separate that and say, you know, “But this is someone who has clearly thought things through and based on their own world view, their own perspectives, their own life experiences, this is the choice that's best for them.” And that's certainly something that I can support and I can work with a patient on. But it takes time, right? And it takes very deliberate thought, a lot of mindfulness, a lot of practice to be able to get to that point. Mikkael Sekeres: Well, I think that's a beautiful point to leave off with here. We've been talking to Beatrice Preti, who is an assistant professor at Emory University and an adjunct professor at Western University, and a PhD candidate with Maastricht University to discuss her JCO Oncology Practice article, "No Versus Know: Patient Empowerment Through Shared Decision-Making."

We zijn terug! Met een aflevering over een mooie stad, die weinig akeligs lijkt te bevatten. Maar als je goed kijkt, vind je altijd wel historie die gruwelijker is dan je eigenlijk dacht. We nemen je mee naar het puntje van de 'laars' van Nederland: Maastricht. Waar de meeste spannende dingen onder de grond lijken te gebeuren...
Brauchen wir mehr Cappuccino in der Rente? Gemeinsam mit Professorin Lisa Brüggen (Universitäten Tilburg & Maastricht) beleuchten wir, warum Rentnerinnen und Rentner in den Niederlanden im Schnitt rund 1.000 Euro mehr im Monat erhalten als in Deutschland und wieso man auch als hochindividualistische Gesellschaft sich eine Rente geben kann, die für alle gleich hoch ist - egal wie viel man gearbeitet und verdient hat. Themen der Episode: Das Cappuccino-System: Grundrente, Betriebsrenten und private Vorsorge Wie die Niederlande Altersarmut erfolgreich vermeiden Renteneintrittsalter und die große Rentenreform bis 2028 Altersbilder, Arbeitsmarkt und Demografie im Vergleich zu Deutschland Die Niederlande zeigen, dass Rente auch anders geht – einfacher, gerechter und mit weniger Altersarmut.

De installaties van kunstenaar Morena Bamberger zijn een ode aan haar Sinti roots, haar identiteit en Moeder Aarde. De Limburgse studeerde in 2018 af aan de Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Maastricht en creëert sindsdien installaties die door licht, geluid en geur een zintuiglijke reis zijn voor de toeschouwer. Bamberger won in 2018 de Gilbert de Bontridder Prijs en de Henriëtte Hustinxprijs en werd in 2022 bekroond met de Parkstad Limburg Prijs. Ze werd onder andere bekend door haar installatie ‘Sonnekaskro Djiephen', Sinti voor ‘Een Leven Van Goud'. Daarin liet zij de woonwagen als een kapel zien, waar religie en reizen samenkomen. Dit werk werd besproken in de New York Times. Nu tovert zij met haar installatie ‘Through Matter of Time' de zolder van het Stedelijk Museum Schiedam om tot een duister universum. In haar eerste solotentoonstelling buiten Limburg onderzoekt ze de overgang tussen leven en dood. De mystieke kanten van het leven en oude culturen vormen haar inspiratiebronnen. Femke van der Laan gaat met Morena Bamberger in gesprek.
Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Maastricht, Eindhoven en Groningen. Ze hebben allemaal een vliegveld, maar ze hebben ook allemaal een tekort aan woningen. GroenLinks-PvdA wil nu woonwijken bouwen op en rond vliegvelden. Met dat plan komt de partij in het verkiezingsprogramma dat maandag wordt gepresenteerd. Presentator Joram Kaat gaat hierover praten met: * Ivar Branderhorst, stedenbouwkundige * Walter Manshanden, econoom

Recorded live at the PSE-CEPR Policy Forum 2025. This week, we interview three of the next generation of economists. At the forum, a group of young researchers were presenting their work in the main theatre and at poster sessions during the breaks. Tim Phillips took the opportunity to talk to some of them about their research. Pelin Ozgul of the University of Maastricht has investigated whether AI can improve training for call centre agents. Nathan Vieira of Aix Marseille University has analysed the efficiency of short-time work interventions in Europe's labour markets. And Deepakshi Singh of the University of Groningen researched female employment in India during droughts – is a rise in employment a story of economic empowerment, or something else?
Aaah, juli. De maand waarin het festivalseizoen écht gas bijzet en de verlofdagen als dubbellikkers in de 38 graden tellende bloedhitte wegsmelten. Maar zomerstops, daar doen de heren van Osmium, de zwaarste podcast in het Nederlands, niet aan. Er wordt het hele jaar keihard doorgepodcast. Tenminste, als je drie van de vijf bestaansjaren van deze podcast niet meerekent, én de twee extra weken die nodig waren om deze aflevering tot stand te laten komen. Maar die pauze is dit jaar van korte duur. Er zijn namelijk dringende zaken te bespreken. Zo namen de grootvaders van metal onlangs afscheid. Black Sabbath speelde nog één laatste keer in de originele bezetting en bracht voor de gelegenheid een vrachtlading aan metal royalty mee. Terwijl er een wereldwijde pelgrimstocht van metalheads plaatsvond naar Birmingham, de geboorte- en tevens sterfplaats van de uitvinders van metal, bekeken de presentatoren het geheel vanuit hun luie stoel via de wondere wereld van het internet. En daarbij werd een klein traantje weggepinkt. Maar waar de dood neemt, schenkt het leven. Jera On Air, hét outdoor punk/hardcore/metalcorefestival van Nederland, vond voor de 31e keer plaats in het Limburgse Ysselsteyn. Niels besloot (nog) zuidelijk(er) te gaan en pikte één van de drie festivaldagen mee. En ja, ook daar werd gehuild. Al was dat wel om een heel andere reden... Met beeldmateriaal van Lonneke Prins en muziek van Trapped Under Ice. Onderwerpen: Trapped Under Ice - Reality Unfolds (00:00) Introductie over jezelf vol schransen en het vroegste opnamemoment ooit (00:19) Waar we het deze aflevering over gaan hebben: Jera On Air 2025 en het afscheid van Black Sabbath (03:46) Fanmail van een professor tijdens onze vakanties (04:58) Niels doorbrak de vloek en ging eindelijk eens naar Jera On Air (13:06) Logistieke opzet en onduidelijke namen van podia (16:44) Wisselvallige programmering met Smash Into Pieces als dieptepunt (19:40) Punkfestival zonder punkspirit (22:53) Positieve aspecten (24:08) De prijs klopt niet (27:32) Memorabele optredens (30:23) Tot slot over Jera On Air (37:51) Het afscheid van Black Sabbath en Ozzy Osbourne (39:18) De oorspronkelijke bandleden van Black Sabbath bij elkaar (43:34) Een fragiele Ozzy (44:51) Is het verdwijnen van Black Sabbath een gemis voor de metalwereld?

In aflevering 69, bellen we met Kees Groenland over zijn 4de Ironman 70.3, ditmaal in Tours Frankrijk. Na eerdere edities in Maastricht, Nice en Luxemburg was het dit keer in 'Tours Metropole Loire Valley'. Kees trok samen met zijn vrouw Jetske met een camper naar het zuiden, zo'n 100 km onder Le Mans.Hij vertelt er uitgebreid over, zijn trainingen, zijn ervaringen, de reis, de organisatie en of het nu heel anders is dan een marathon of gewoon een stukkie rennen, of een rondje fietsen. Veel luisterplezier, misschien leuk om op vakantie te luisteren.

La Comunità Europea si sviluppa dalla CECA all'UE con trattati chiave come Maastricht. Dall'allargamento del 1995 alle crisi, ripercorriamone la storia.
Que devient la sécurité de notre continent ? Vivre en sécurité, c'est connaître une situation dans laquelle nous ne sommes exposés à aucun danger, à aucun risque ou menace. Comprise ainsi, la notion de sécurité dépasse la simple protection de la violence exercée par d'autres Etats. La sécurité humaine inclut, rappelle l'ONU, des composantes alimentaires, sanitaires, environnementales, économiques, etc.Mais aujourd'hui, nous allons nous concentrer sur les menaces géopolitiques qui affectent l'Europe dans laquelle nous vivons, une Europe démocratique et libérale, centrée sur l'Union Européenne. Cette Europe connaît depuis 1945 une situation de paix. La construction européenne, rassemblant toujours plus de membres, a contribué à nous faire ressentir comme une évidence l'impossibilité d'une agression par un autre État. L'Union Européenne, l'UE est le bon élève du multilatéralisme, attachée à la notion de sécurité collective assurée par l'ONU dont les membres s'engagent, rappelons-le, à ne pas recourir à la force contre l'intégrité territoriale et l'indépendance politique d'un autre État.L'Union Européenne s'était bien dotée, par le traité de Maastricht en 1992, d'une PESC, politique étrangère et de sécurité commune ; celle-ci fut renforcée lors du traité de Lisbonne en 2007 qui comporte une clause d'assistance mutuelle en cas d'agression mais le rôle politique et sécuritaire de l'UE est , nous y reviendrons, limité par l'unanimité requise pour les décisions et les faibles moyens de la Politique de Sécurité et de Défense commune. Dans ce contexte, la protection offerte par l'alliance atlantique, donc les Etats-Unis était et est l'alpha et l'oméga de notre sécurité, et ce même si deux puissances – la Grande Bretagne et la France- se dotèrent dès 1951 et 1960 de l'arme nucléaire. Or toute cette architecture est renversée par le constat que désormais l'allié américain n'est plus fiable. Notre environnement est devenu instable, imprévisible tandis qu'à l'intérieur la tornade du trumpisme encourage la mouvance national-populiste. Le politologue américain Fareed Zakaria l'explique clairement : « Donald Trump rompt brutalement avec le système international tel qu'il existe depuis 8 décennies…Il est en train de recréer un vieux monde, celui de la realpolitik du XIXe siècle, où le système international était défini par les ambitions et les intérêts des plus grandes puissances. Aujourd'hui, cela voudrait dire les Etats-Unis, la Chine et la Russie mais en exagérant la force de cette dernière. La démocratie, le droit international, la liberté passent au second plan. Seule compte la puissance. » Ce constat est terrible pour beaucoup d'Européens : mais cette rupture transatlantique est-elle complètement inattendue alors que la tendance lourde est au désengagement des Etats-Unis depuis le début du siècle ? Doit-on et peut-on faire son deuil de la protection des Etats-Unis alors que l'Europe ne semble pas avoir les moyens d'assurer sa propre sécurité ? mais d'abord pourquoi faut-il se préoccuper de notre sécurité : quelles sont les menaces dont nous devons nous prémunir ? Saurons-nous être unis ou les divisions en notre sein condamnent-t-elles nos capacités ? Bref, sommes-nous en sécurité ?

Institutul European de Statistică, Eurostat, publică anual cel mai interesant set de date. Este vorba despre cifrele referitoare la PIB, deficit bugetar, veniturile și cheltuielile bugetului ca procentaj din PIB și, bineînțeles, datoria publică. Toate aceste date sunt publicate nu doar pentru fiecare stat membru, ci și ca serie de timp, în ultimii patru ani, ceea ce oferă posibilitatea realizării unor comparații între economiile europene, dar și o evoluție în timp a indicatorilor macroeconomici. Din păcate, din multe puncte de vedere, datele statistice arată că economia românească este una dintre cele mai fragile din Uniunea Europeană.Iată demonstrația. Să plecăm de la deficitul bugetar. Nu doar că anul trecut a fost cel mai mare din Uniunea Europeană, 9,3% din PIB, dar nivelul deficitului bugetar al României este egal cu adunarea deficitelor a șase state membre: Cehia, Letonia, Estonia, Suedia, Lituania și Olanda.La fel de adevărat este că dacă privim „tabloul de bord” european din ultimii patru ani (2021-2024) România, cu foarte puține excepții, s-a aflat în topul deficitelor bugetare fiind depășită, în unele perioade, doar de Grecia, Italia sau Ungaria.În ultimul timp, în România s-a născut o dezbatere legată de perioada în care se poate reduce deficitul bugetar. Unii economiști consideră chiar că șapte ani ar fi insuficienți, dar evoluția unor state europene arată că reducerea deficitului se poate face destul de repede.Astfel, Italia a reușit în trei ani, din 2021 în 2024, să scadă deficitul de la 8,9% la 3,4% din PIB; Letonia a redus deficitul de la 7,2% la 1,8% din PIB, iar Malta a coborât de la 7% la 3,7% din PIB. Dar marea surpriză este Grecia. Economia care a trecut ani de zile printr-o criză dureroasă arată din nou bine din punct de vedere macroeconomic: deficitul bugetar era în 2021 de 7,1%, iar anul trecut a ajuns la un excedent de 1,3% din PIB. Grecia a realizat o corecție de mai mult de 8 puncte procentuale de PIB în patru ani care pare de domeniul incredibilului și care nu se referă la un deficit primar, un indicator care nu include serviciul anual al datoriei publice, pentru că nu există nicio precizare în acest sens a Eurostat.Un perpetuu punct sensibil al finanțelor publice românești este procentajul din PIB al veniturilor bugetare. Adică, anul trecut, România a avut doar 34% din PIB, față de o medie europeană de 46% și în comparație cu vârful atins de Finlanda de 53% din PIB. La acest capitol, o economie aparte este cea a Irlandei, care iese complet din tipare având venituri bugetare de numai 27% din PIB, dar înregistrând, totuși, excedent fiscal.Dacă la venituri bugetare din PIB România este de departe pe penultimul loc din Uniunea Europeană, în ceea ce privește cheltuielile situația este mult diferită. În sensul că România cu cheltuieli publice de 43% din PIB este undeva în plutonul de mijloc, în sensul că opt state membre reușesc să aibă cheltuieli mai mici sau egale față de România ca procentaj din PIB.Să remarcăm că anul trecut, la nivel european sunt două state membre care au crescut cheltuielile publice cu peste 3% din PIB față de anul precedent. Este vorba despre România și Austria și chiar dacă în alte state membre au avut loc alegeri nicăieri, în afară de România și Austria, cheltuielile publice nu au „sărit” atât de mult.În fine, să aruncăm o privire și asupra Uniunii Europene. Progresele economice sunt destul de clare: în patru ani creșterea nominală a PIB a fost de aproximativ 3.100 miliarde de euro, deficitul bugetar total a scăzut la 3,2% din PIB, ceea ce înseamnă că se apropie de pragul Tratatului de la Maastricht. În materie de datorie publică scăderea este mai lentă, 81% din PIB față de 87% din PIB, în anul 2021. Ceea ce arată că procesul de consolidare fiscală se poate face. Totul este să vrei, dar România nu vrea.
Der Besenwagen schwebt in der Luft. Zwischen Kopfsteinpflaster und Ardennen ist gerade so Zeit für einen Umbau. Auf der Hebebühne angehoben, tauschen wir schnell die hohen Felgen mit breiter Bereifung gegen flachere Varianten und schmalere Pneus. Aus der Karosserie werden ein paar Beulen gekloppt die das raue Pflaster und fliegende Bidons ins Blech gedrückt haben. Unnötige Teile werden abmontiert um Gewicht zu sparen. Am Ende geht es doch schneller als gedacht und es bleibt noch genügend Zeit um der Königin der Klassiker unseren Tribut zu zollen.

Wie entsteht das Gefühl, „ich“ zu sein? Ist der Mensch das einzige Wesen mit einem subjektiven Erleben? Trotz intensiver Forschung und modernster Technologien bleibt das Bewusstsein noch immer ein Rätsel. Was die Wissenschaft bislang herausgefunden hat – und wo sie an ihre Grenzen stößt, verrät der Hirnforscher Prof. Rainer Goebel von der Universität Maastricht in den Niederlanden. "Aha!

El retrato que Gustav Klimt pintó de William Nii Nortey Dowuona, príncipe del pueblo Osu de Ghana, ha reaparecido en la feria TEFAF de Maastricht, después de que se diera por desaparecido. La última vez que se vio fue en 1928 y fue identificado como el cuadro desaparecido en 2023, cuando una pareja de coleccionistas llevó a la galería W&K de Viena un cuadro pobremente enmarcado y sucio en su superficie. El rastro de la obra se perdió con la llegada de los nazis a Austria. Está valorado en 15.000.000€.Informa Íñigo PicabeaEscuchar audio

After a challenging year in which international galleries, auction houses and museums have been forced to scale back their operations and make redundancies on an alarming scale, a slower, more considered approach to business seems to be emerging. So are we into an era of longer, more in-depth exhibitions and bespoke events concerned more with authentic connection than flashy spectacle? Ben Luke talks to Anny Shaw, a contributing editor at The Art Newspaper. In the Netherlands, just as in the US, cuts by far-right politicians to international development seem likely to have a huge impact on arts projects. As Tefaf, the major international art fair opens in the Dutch city of Maastricht, we talk to Senay Boztas, our correspondent based in Amsterdam, about fears of a funding crisis. And this episode's Work of the Week is one of the greatest paintings ever made: The Hunters in the Snow (1565) by Pieter Bruegel the Elder. It is part of an exhibition called Arcimboldo – Bassano – Bruegel: Nature's Time, which opened this week at the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna. The museum's director, Jonathan Fine, tells us more.Arcimboldo–Bassano–Bruegel: Nature's Time, Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna, until 29 JuneSubscription offer: enjoy 3 issues of The Art Newspaper for just £3/$3/€3—subscribe before 21 March to start your subscription with the April bumper issue including our Visitor Figures 2024 report and an EXPO Chicago special.

El programa de hoy comienza con SORDA, una película que aborda el vínculo entre el mundo oyente y el mundo sordo desde una perspectiva personal y respetuosa. Conversamos con su directora, Eva Libertad, quien nos cuenta cómo ha llevado su experiencia a la pantalla con sensibilidad y curiosidad, explorando la comunicación y las barreras que enfrentan las personas sordas.En la segunda parte, nos centramos en el Teatro Fernán Gómez de Madrid, que estrena nueva dirección con Juan Carlos Pérez de la Fuente al frente. Una de las obras más esperadas de esta temporada es La señorita de Trevélez, de Carlos Arniches, que marca la primera dirección escénica de Pérez de la Fuente en este espacio. Analizamos la puesta en escena, el contexto del montaje y su relevancia dentro de la programación con la mirada de nuestro crítico teatral, Raúl Losánez.Por último, nos trasladamos a la Feria de Arte Téfaf en Maastricht, que inaugura su edición con piezas destacadas. Entre ellas, Les Dormeurs, de Picasso, y dos obras expuestas por una galería británica: un cuadro de Velázquez y un crucifijo basado en un molde de Miguel Ángel, ambos procedentes de colecciones privadas de España y los Países Bajos. Desde la feria, Íñigo Picabea nos ofrece detalles sobre la importancia de estas piezas y el ambiente de uno de los eventos de arte más relevantes del mundo.Escuchar audio
Alle für einen, einer für alle!" – Doch wer war eigentlich der echte d'Artagnan? In dieser Folge tauchen wir tief in das Leben von Charles de Batz-Castelmore d'Artagnan ein – der historischen Figur hinter Alexandre Dumas' berühmtem Roman: Die drei Musketiere. D'Artagnan war Musketier, Spion, Kerkermeister, Diplomat und enger Vertrauter von Ludwig XIV. – ein Mann, dessen Leben fast noch aufregender war als seine literarische Version. Wir verfolgen seinen Weg aus der Gascogne bis an die Spitze der königlichen Garde, seine Rolle in den Wirren der Fronde, seine Missionen im Dienste Mazarin und des Sonnenkönigs sowie seinen dramatischen Tod vor Maastricht. Erfahre, wie der echte d'Artagnan wirklich war, was ihn von der Romanfigur unterscheidet und wie aus historischen Memoiren einer der berühmtesten Abenteuerromane aller Zeiten entstand........Das Folgenbild zeigt die Memoiren des Herrn d'Artagnan, Kapitänleutnant der ersten Kompanie der Musketiere des Königs, von Gatien de Courtilz de Sandras, bei Pierre Mortier, in Köln, 1700........WERBUNGDu willst dir die Rabatte unserer weiteren Werbepartner sichern?

Vous aimez notre peau de caste ? Soutenez-nous ! https://www.lenouvelespritpublic.fr/abonnementUne émission de Philippe Meyer, enregistrée au studio l'Arrière-boutique le 28 février 2025.Avec cette semaine :Jean-Louis Bourlanges, essayiste.François Bujon de l'Estang, ambassadeur de France.Marc-Olivier Padis, directeur des études de la fondation Terra Nova.Lucile Schmid, vice-présidente de La Fabrique écologique et membre du comité de rédaction de la revue Esprit.LA FIN DE L'OTAN ET L'HEURE DE LA DÉFENSE EUROPÉENNE ?Le rapprochement russo-américain sur l'Ukraine, les « négociations de paix » amorcées sans Kyiv et le Vieux Continent et la menace de remise en question par Washington de son soutien militaire à l'Europe ont abasourdi ses alliés. Le discours du vice-président des Etats-Unis, J. D. Vance, lors de la Conférence de Munich le 14 février a ébranlé la relation transatlantique : les Européens ont brutalement pris conscience que la sécurité du continent ne dépend que d'eux-mêmes. Après l'annonce par le secrétaire américain à la Défense, Pete Hegseth, le 12 février à Bruxelles que l'Administration Trump écarterait la possibilité pour l'Ukraine d'intégrer l'Alliance atlantique dans les négociations de paix, la course aux idées pour pallier l'absence de protection américaine a été relancée. Mais, faute d'architecture de défense ou de structure de commandement commune européennes, ces moyens sont limités. Aujourd'hui, les membres européens de l'OTAN ne dépensent que 1,9% de leur PIB dans la défense. Le sommet du 24 au 26 juin à La Haye devrait porter la cible de dépenses de défense à 3% du PIB.À Bruxelles, en attendant de présenter son Livre blanc sur la défense, le 19 mars, la présidente de la Commission européenne Ursula von der Leyen a déjà évoqué une première piste : les États membres pourront demander un traitement budgétaire de faveur pour leurs dépenses de défense, afin de desserrer l'étau des critères de Maastricht d'une dette publique inférieure à 60% du PIB et un déficit public de 3% du PIB maximum. Le recours à cette « clause de sauvegarde nationale » pourrait notamment intéresser les pays sous procédure pour déficit excessif, comme la France, l'Italie, la Belgique, la Hongrie, la Pologne, la Slovaquie, ou Malte. Pour l'heure, le débat sur la bonne utilisation des fonds communautaires se poursuit entre les États qui, comme la France, militent pour une préférence européenne et ceux qui, à l'instar de la Pologne, ne veulent pas exclure des achats aux États-Unis ou en Corée du Sud.En Allemagne, lundi, au lendemain de la victoire de l'Union chrétienne-démocrate aux législatives du 23 février, son leader le probable futur chancelier Friedrich Merz juge nécessaire pour l'Europe de se préparer « au pire scénario » en créant une défense autonome en tant qu'alternative à « l'OTAN dans sa forme actuelle ». Estimant que le temps presse, il se dit prêt ainsi à s'affranchir de 80 ans de tradition atlantiste allemande en matière de défense, allant jusqu'à déclarer vouloir « discuter avec les Britanniques et les Français pour savoir si leur protection nucléaire pourrait également s'étendre à [l'Allemagne] ».A Londres, mardi, devant la Chambre des communes, Keir Starmer a déclaré que son gouvernement porterait le budget de la défense à 2,5% du PIB en 2027. Du jamais vu « depuis la fin de la guerre froide », a précisé le Premier ministre britannique.Chaque semaine, Philippe Meyer anime une conversation d'analyse politique, argumentée et courtoise, sur des thèmes nationaux et internationaux liés à l'actualité.

Nous sommes le 30 août 1904, à la Cité scientifique, parc Léopold à Bruxelles, tout près des actuelles institutions européennes. C'est le jour de l'ouverture du Congrès des physiologistes organisé sous l'égide d'Ernest Solvay. Celui-ci déclare : « J'ai voulu associer et juxtaposer les laboratoires de physiologie, l'Institut de sociologie et l'Ecole de Commerce parce que la physiologie est la première des sciences sociales : elle nous fait connaître l'homme en nous révélant les lois de l'organisme humain, elle nous montre ce que nous devons faire pour améliorer un organisme social...» . Chemin faisant, l'industriel a érigé la Cité scientifique en un symbole de l'interdisciplinarité. Une interdisciplinarité nécessaire, selon lui, aux progrès de la connaissance. Quelques années plus tard, le passionné de chimie précisera : « Pourquoi ai-je fondé l'Institut de sociologie après celui de physiologie alors que le problème urgent de l'organisation sociale me préoccupait depuis 1871 ? Parce que le seul raisonnement dit qu'avant de chercher à établir des lois qui règlent l'évolution des groupements humains il faut, pour agir correctement, connaître celles qui règlent l'évolution de l'homme considéré en lui-même... Et nous voilà de la sorte engagé dans la direction « biologie » pour éclairer la direction « sociologie »». Dès la fin des années 1880, Ernest Solvay s'est engagé dans un programme ambitieux de soutien à la recherche scientifique qui débouchera sur la création de différents "instituts" au Parc Léopold. Il s'est fait mécène mais était-il philanthrope ? Patriote et internationaliste comment a-t-il noué le dialogue avec le monde scientifique et le monde politique ? Invité : Kenneth Bertrams, professeur à l'Université libre de Bruxelles, professeur extraordinaire en Histoire des Sciences et des Techniques à l'Université de Maastricht.

WeTransfer x TalkArt special episode! We meet photographer Robin de Puy. This episode is brought to you by our friends at WePresent, the Academy Award winningarts platform of WeTransfer. Collaborating with emerging young talent to renowned artistssuch as Marina Abramović, Riz Ahmed and Talk Art's own Russell Tovey, WePresentshowcases the best in art, photography, film, music, literature and more, championingdiversity in everything it does.In this episode we'll be speaking to acclaimed photographer Robin de Puy about her newproject AMERICAN, a collaboration with WePresent, which is an unflinching portrait of adivided nation. AMERICAN shares Robin's unique perspective on the often-overlookedfaces that represent the country's incredible diversity and complexity, and poses thequestion: What does it mean to be American?Visit: https://robin-de-puy-american.wetransfer.com/Follow: @Robin_De_Puy and @WePresentRobin de Puy's (b.1986, the Netherlands) photographs start with a desire to tell her own story through the faces of others. Whether it's the freckled adolescent she noticed whilst refuelling in Wyoming, the Dutch author, poet and columnist Remco Campert, or the boy Randy she met in Nevada whilst on her American road trip, de Puy sees the camera as an aid to understand the deeply personal traits and histories of each person, and how they also reveal something about herself. Many of her encounters are fleeting; a heartfelt glance into the life of someone else before time resumes its frantic pace. In others, as with Randy, those same transient experiences blossom into profound and enduring relationships. Regardless of which ending they have, de Puy's photographs are always imbued with a sensitivity and timelessness that encourages a slow gaze on the human condition. Her images are chances for genuine human connection, and through sharing with them with the world, allow us to take part in such moments.Robin de Puy studied at the Fotoacademie Rotterdam and has been exhibited internationally at institutions and galleries including; Bonnefantenmuseum, Maastricht (2018); Museum Hilversum, Hilversum (2017); The Hague Museum of Photography, The Hague (2016); Stedelijk Museum, Breda (2016) and Photoville, New York (2016). Amongst numerous other awards, De Puy was the winner of the National Portrait Prize in both 2013 and 2019. Her work is held in major public and private collections including Bonnefantenmuseum, Maastricht; De Nederlandse Bank, Amsterdam; Museum Voorlinden, Wassenaar; Centraal Museum Utrecht, Utrecht; Fotomuseum Den Haag, The Hague; Huis Marseille, Amsterdam and Ministry of Foreign Affairs, The Hague.
