The story of Sfratto. How a Jewish pastry shaped like an eviction rod became Tuscany's most poetic symbol of resilience and honeyed hope.In the ancient hilltop town of Pitigliano, where steep tuff stone cliffs overlook a green Tuscan valley, a quiet revolution began in the kitchens of Jewish families who had lived there for centuries. They called their town Little Jerusalem, because it looked like a fortified biblical city and was home to a vibrant community that had found refuge there since the 1500s, after fleeing papal expulsions from Rome, Siena, and other places. Tailors, astronomers, musicians, and merchants lived alongside their Christian neighbors in harmony, even after the Medici rulers forced the Jews into a ghetto in the early 1600s under Grand Duke Cosimo II. Officials went door-to-door, knocking with long wooden sticks to drive families from their homes into the narrow streets between Via Zuccarelli and the cliffs. The Italian word for this forced removal was sfratto, meaning eviction, and the memory of those heavy sticks stayed with the community. Still, the Jewish community found a way to turn hardship into something sweet. About a hundred years after the ghetto was created, Pitigliano's bakers responded in the best way they could: by making a long, baton-shaped pastry with a golden crust and a filling of honey and walnuts, scented with orange zest and spices. They named it Sfratto dei Goym, or the Eviction of the Gentiles, and shaped it to look like the sticks that once threatened them. For Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, this treat became a symbol of turning hard times into hope. The sticky filling promised a sweet year ahead, and the sturdy shape was meant to keep away future evictions. Soon, Christians in the town enjoyed the pastry too, serving it at weddings to wish for peace in marriage. Today, with only a few Jewish families left in Pitigliano, Sfratto is still made year-round in local shops, protected as a Slow Food Presidium, and served to visitors with Vin Santo. It reminds everyone that resilience can be as sweet as honey.Read Full ContentMake RecipeMore Podcasts

Podcast ONE: 6 de marzo de 2026 CoPaw (IA local sin nube), GPT‑5.4 con millón de tokens, la nueva MacBook Neo “económica”, la guerra Irán‑Israel amplificada por desinformación de IA y todo lo que dejó el #MWC2026. Escucha el nuevo episodio de #PodcastONE en One Digital. Escucha aquí el Podcast ONE: 6 de marzo de 2026 Facebook Live One Digital: CoPaw, GPT-5.4, MacBook Neo y el caos geopolítico de marzo 2026 En este episodio del viernes 6 de marzo de 2026, transmitido en vivo desde São Paulo (Brasil) y Ciudad de México, Vincent Quezada y Pablo Berruecos analizan una semana explosiva: herramientas de inteligencia artificial local (CoPaw), el lanzamiento de GPT‑5.4 con contexto de un millón de tokens, la MacBook Neo (la laptop Apple más económica de su historia), el conflicto geopolítico Irán‑Israel amplificado por desinformación de IA en redes sociales y el Mobile World Congress 2026, que redefinió privacidad, seguridad y conectividad móvil. Un episodio que resume el estado actual de la tecnología, la geopolítica y la ética digital en 2026. ¿Qué es CoPaw? Un agente de IA completamente local sin dependencias en la nube Vincent abre el episodio presentando CoPaw (Co‑Personal Agent Workstation), un agente de inteligencia artificial que funciona completamente en tu equipo local, sin procesar datos en servidores externos como ChatGPT o Gemini. La arquitectura es una evolución directa de los agentes COD (marco multiagente de Alibaba). La diferencia crítica: toda la información permanece dentro de tu máquina, lo que garantiza privacidad total y funcionamiento sin internet una vez instalado el proyecto. “CoPaw no es simplemente un cliente de chat para modelos locales. Es un orquestador de tareas que puede navegar por internet, leer PDFs, generar documentos Word, enviar mensajes por Telegram y ejecutar acciones programadas de forma automática sin intervención humana”. — Vincent Quezada Requisitos técnicos de CoPaw: hardware y software RAM mínima: 8 GB (16 GB ideales para multitarea). Almacenamiento: 10 GB mínimos (20 GB recomendados para modelos grandes). Software: Python 3.10, Node.js v18. GPU opcional pero recomendada: una tarjeta NVIDIA con CUDA acelera respuestas de 15‑40 segundos a 3‑8 segundos. Compatibilidad: Windows, macOS y Linux; la instalación automática gestiona todas las dependencias. Motor de modelos: Ollama (descargable desde ollama.com), disponible para Windows, macOS, Ubuntu y Debian. Modelos de lenguaje local según necesidad y RAM disponible La elección del modelo depende de tu hardware y de tu caso de uso. Vincent explica que el número al final del nombre (3B, 7B, 8B, 14B) representa los miles de millones de parámetros que maneja; a mayor número, mayor precisión, pero también más RAM requerida. Phi 3 Mini (4 GB RAM): respuestas cortas, equipos básicos, uso introductorio. Llama 2 8B (8 GB RAM): velocidad media (15‑40 segundos), ideal para redacción general, análisis de textos y resúmenes. Mistral 7B (8 GB RAM): especializado en escritura creativa y resúmenes de contenido largo. DeepSeek 8B (8 GB RAM): razonamiento lógico, análisis de código y debugging. Qwen 3 (14B) (16 GB RAM): tareas complejas y análisis extenso de datos; es lento sin GPU. “No uses un modelo de 20 gigabytes para una simple traducción. Es como manejar un camión de carga para ir a la tienda. Elige según tu tarea real”. — Vincent Quezada Módulos especializados que llevan CoPaw más allá del chat básico CoPaw incluye módulos independientes que se activan automáticamente según el contexto de tu tarea. Cada uno requiere cierta configuración específica. Browser Reissable: navegador web autónomo que busca información en tiempo real; requiere la instalación de Playwright. News Module: búsqueda y resumen automático de noticias; requiere una clave API de Tavily (gratuita con 1,000 búsquedas mensuales). File Reader: lee archivos locales (.txt, .csv, .json) sin configuración adicional. PDF Module: extrae, analiza y resume PDFs complejos. DOCX Module: crea y edita documentos Word de forma automática. XLSX Module: manipula hojas de cálculo y calcula promedios, máximos y mínimos de columnas. PPTX Module: genera presentaciones de PowerPoint de forma automática. Cron Jobs (automatización): programa tareas para ejecutarse en intervalos específicos (diarios, semanales, cada N horas) sin intervención del usuario. Email Manager (Himalaya): gestión automática de correos; Vincent lo recomienda solo para usuarios avanzados. Casos de uso prácticos según nivel de experiencia Principiante: “Busca las noticias más importantes de inteligencia artificial de hoy”. “Explica la diferencia entre aprendizaje autónomo y aprendizaje profundo con ejemplos prácticos”. “Redacta un correo formal para solicitar una reunión con un cliente importante”. Intermedio: “Lee el archivo C:UsuariosDocumentosreporte.pdf y genera un resumen ejecutivo de máximo 500 palabras”. “Abre ventas_2025.xlsx, identifica los tres meses con mayor crecimiento entre enero y marzo y muestra los porcentajes”. “Navega a Amazon.com.mx, busca auriculares inalámbricos menores a 1,500 pesos y lista las cinco mejores opciones con precio y enlace”. Avanzado: “Busca las cinco noticias tecnológicas más importantes de hoy, redacta un párrafo de 150 palabras para cada una y guarda el resultado en noticiashoy.docx”. “Lee todos los archivos .csv de C:datos, combínalos en uno solo y calcula el promedio, máximo y mínimo de cada columna numérica”. “Navega a LinkedIn, busca vacantes de redactor de contenido publicadas esta semana en Ciudad de México, extrae títulos, empresas, enlaces y guarda todo en empleos.xlsx”. Automatización con tareas programadas: el verdadero diferenciador de CoPaw La función más poderosa es la capacidad de programar ejecuciones automáticas sin que el usuario esté presente. Esto convierte a CoPaw de una simple herramienta de chat en un asistente de productividad genuino. Resumen diario de noticias: “Configura una tarea que se ejecute todos los días a las 8:00 a. m.: busca las principales noticias de tecnología e IA y guarda el resultado en noticiasdiarias.txt”. Monitoreo de precio de criptomonedas: “Crea una tarea cada seis horas: registra la cotización actual de Bitcoin con fecha y hora en precio.txt”. Reporte semanal consolidado: “Programa una tarea cada lunes a las 9:00 a. m.: lee todos los archivos .txt de C:reportes, genera un resumen ejecutivo y guarda el documento como reportesemanal.docx”. Limpieza automática de archivos: “Configura una tarea cada viernes a las 11:00 p. m.: mueve todos los archivos .log con más de 30 días de antigüedad a la carpeta archivos_antiguos”. Estas variables (frecuencia, horarios, tiempos de latido o heartbeat) se controlan en el archivo config.json. Vincent subraya la importancia de probar con cuidado antes de automatizar procesos críticos. ¿CoPaw requiere internet? Solución de errores comunes CoPaw funciona completamente sin conexión una vez instalado con su modelo descargado. Solo requiere internet para búsquedas web mediante Tavily y si configuras APIs externas (OpenAI, Anthropic). Los errores más frecuentes que Vincent encontró durante sus pruebas son: “No es posible conectar con servidor CoPaw”: verifica que ejecutaste copaw start y que el puerto 8088 está disponible. “Comando copaw no reconocido”: el directorio de ejecución no está en el PATH del sistema; asigna la ruta manualmente o usa el script completo. “Ollama no disponible”: la dirección debe ser exactamente localhost:11434 sin sufijos; revisa el archivo de configuración. CoPaw vs. OpenCloud: ¿cuál es mejor? “CoPaw fue más útil que OpenCloud en mis pruebas. Mientras OpenCloud es muy potente, CoPaw ofrece instalación más rápida, una interfaz más accesible y documentación más clara. Ambas son de código abierto bajo licencia Apache 2.0. CoPaw es completamente gratis; solo la clave de Tavily tiene un costo opcional (unos 10 dólares mensuales)”. — Vincent Quezada MacBook Neo: la primera laptop Apple verdaderamente económica (599 dólares) Apple lanzó la MacBook Neo, un quiebre histórico en su estrategia de precios. Por primera vez en la historia de Macintosh existe una laptop Apple genuinamente accesible: 599 dólares (499 dólares para educación). Dirigida a estudiantes y nuevos usuarios, representa un cambio radical en la democratización del ecosistema Apple. Especificaciones técnicas de la MacBook Neo Procesador: chip A18 Pro; seis núcleos (dos de rendimiento y cuatro de eficiencia); GPU de cinco núcleos; Neural Engine de seis núcleos para tareas de inteligencia artificial. Rendimiento en IA: hasta tres veces más rápido en cargas de trabajo de inteligencia artificial que la competencia; acceso completo a Apple Intelligence manteniendo la privacidad de los datos. Pantalla Liquid Retina: 13 pulgadas, 2,408 × 1,506 píxeles, 510 nits de brillo, soporte para mil millones de colores; una de las pantallas más brillantes en su rango de precio. Batería: 36,5 Wh, hasta 16 horas de autonomía en uso mixto; dos puertos USB‑C para carga rápida. Diseño y construcción: carcasa de aluminio resistente, peso de solo 1,23 kg; colores disponibles: Blush, Indigo, Plata y Eléctrico. Conectividad: Wi‑Fi 6E, Bluetooth 6, entrada de audio de 3,5 mm (rara hoy en día), cámara FaceTime HD 1080p, micrófono dual y audio espacial Dolby Atmos. Almacenamiento: 256 GB base (Vincent cuestiona esta especificación a ese precio, pues alternativas con Windows ofrecen 512 GB por menos dinero). Software: macOS preinstalado con integración completa de Apple Intelligence. Disponibilidad: envíos a partir del 11 de marzo de 2026. “La pantalla es realmente excepcional. Es una de las mejores que he visto comparada con iPads y monitores tradicionales. Solo por ese aspecto la MacBook Neo se justifica”. — Vincent Quezada ¿Para quién es la MacBook Neo? Estudiantes: necesitan un equipo potente, ligero y con batería para todo el día; el precio educativo (499 dólares) es especialmente atractivo. Nuevos usuarios de Mac: quienes buscan una introducción asequible al ecosistema Apple sin gastar más de 1,200 dólares. Profesionales de tareas cotidianas: navegación web, edición de documentos, videollamadas y productividad básica. Usuarios preocupados por la sostenibilidad: está fabricada con un 60% de material reciclado. Vincent lanza una advertencia: el almacenamiento base de 256 GB a 599 dólares es cuestionable, ya que por ese mismo precio se encuentran laptops Windows con 512 GB que ofrecen mejor valor a corto plazo. Sin embargo, el diseño, la pantalla y la autonomía de la MacBook Neo compiten favorablemente. GPT‑5.4 de OpenAI: millón de tokens, automatización y 33% menos errores OpenAI lanzó GPT‑5.4 el 5 de marzo de 2026, apenas un día antes de este episodio. Durante la conversación, ChatGPT (participando en diálogo con Vincent) explicó las novedades clave que marcan diferencia en el mercado: contexto de hasta un millón de tokens, mejora del 33% en reducción de errores respecto a la versión previa, herramientas de automatización más profundas y mayor integración con flujos de trabajo profesionales. (Los detalles técnicos completos se abordan con más calma en el programa, pero el foco del episodio está en el impacto práctico y geopolítico.) Irán ataca infraestructura crítica: desinformación de IA amplifica el caos geopolítico A mitad del episodio, la conversación gira hacia el conflicto que explota sobre el planeta: Irán lanzó ataques contra bases militares estadounidenses, centros de datos (incluyendo instalaciones de Microsoft Azure en el Golfo Pérsico) y sistemas de desalinización en Oriente Medio. Vincent y Pablo enmarcan este escalamiento dentro de una historia más amplia: Estados Unidos, en apenas 250 años de existencia, ha estado en paz solo 16 años; el resto ha sido conflicto bélico constante. Irán, durante cuatro décadas, ha acumulado una capacidad defensiva nacional inmensa. Cuando se lanzan misiles de un millón de dólares para destruir drones de 20,000 dólares, la economía de la guerra revela su irracionalidad inherente. “Estamos viendo una operación quirúrgica de un país que lleva décadas preparándose para un momento así. No es improvisado; es cálculo estratégico. El problema es que genera nacionalismo extremo, no revolución interna”. — Vincent Quezada ¿Cuántos países están realmente involucrados? Expansión del conflicto más allá de Irán e Israel Lo que inicialmente parecía ser un conflicto bilateral Irán‑Israel se ha expandido a entre 16 y 17 países. No se trata solo de ataques entre naciones, sino también de: Ataques a bases militares de Estados Unidos en múltiples naciones del Golfo Pérsico. Infraestructura civil crítica comprometida, como plantas desalinizadoras que suministran agua a millones de personas. Centros de datos de Microsoft Azure, que gestionan sistemas de la OTAN, la defensa estadounidense y grandes instituciones financieras. Sistemas GPS degradados o bloqueados en las zonas del conflicto. Pablo subraya que una planta desalinizadora comprometida en el Golfo Pérsico afecta a millones de civiles. No se trata solo de un conflicto militar, sino de un ataque sistémico a la supervivencia civil. “La estrategia inicial que leí era que, después de matar al líder, habría revolución interna y cambio de gobierno. No funciona así. No puedes cambiar 40 años de dominación, creencia popular y cultura con un bombardeo. Generó nacionalismo extremo, justo lo contrario”. — Pablo Berruecos Gasto económico diario: más de mil millones de dólares en conflicto activo La cifra de gasto militar diario es casi incomprensible. Según el monitoreo de cuentas en X (Twitter) que rastrean gasto militar en tiempo real, el conflicto cuesta más de mil millones de dólares al día. Comparado con las pérdidas bursátiles simultáneas en Estados Unidos (Nvidia ‑1,55%, Google en rojo, Apple ‑1,42%, Visa ‑0,69%, Amazon ‑0,48%, Tesla ‑2,33%), el costo económico global es catastrófico. Desglose de los primeros días de ataques Día 1 (primer ataque de Irán): 500 misiles lanzados hacia Israel y bases estadounidenses. Día 2: 200 misiles. Día 3: 100 misiles. Día 4: 50 misiles. Día 5 y posteriores: 15‑20 misiles, pero con intensificación del uso de drones y sistemas más sofisticados. En cuanto a municiones, para interceptar cada misil lanzado Estados Unidos empleó entre 10 y 20 misiles Tomahawk, cuyo coste ronda los 4‑5 millones de dólares cada uno. La matemática es devastadora: para defenderse de 500 misiles, se gastaron entre 5,000 y 10,000 millones de dólares solo en defensa. Irán, con un presupuesto militar inferior, amplifica su impacto usando drones de bajo coste que replican la capacidad de misiles mucho más caros. ¿Por qué Dubái está en pánico? Crisis de confianza en los paraísos fiscales Pablo narra una anécdota inquietante: una influencer española se mudó a Dubái explícitamente para no pagar impuestos. Cuando comenzó el bombardeo, pidió al gobierno español que la rescatara. Las redes sociales reaccionaron con dureza: “Te fuiste para evitar impuestos, pero esperas que nuestros impuestos te salven”. Más allá del drama mediático, esto revela una crisis de confianza más profunda. Dubái representa la opulencia extrema (albercas en cada piso, derroche de dinero). Al mismo tiempo es una ciudad vulnerable: construida en medio del desierto sin recursos naturales, depende de agua desalinizada y petróleo importado. Una planta desalinizadora comprometida deja a millones de personas sin acceso a agua potable. Las embajadas no pueden evacuar a todos; la capacidad del aeropuerto es limitada. Los depósitos de oro de países del Golfo plantean preguntas: ¿quién los controla si hay invasión? ¿Se pierde la credibilidad de esa moneda? “Dubái te da una ilusión de seguridad. Luego descubres que estás tan vulnerable como en cualquier otro sitio. Si pierdes acceso a agua, dinero y energía, la opulencia desaparece en cuestión de horas”. — Pablo Berruecos ¿Es una tercera guerra mundial? La respuesta compleja de Vincent y Pablo La gran pregunta: ¿es esto la tercera guerra mundial? Vincent y Pablo responden que no, pero sí se trata de un conflicto multinacional sin precedentes recientes. Factores que empujan hacia un conflicto total: múltiples frentes (tecnológico, energético, cibernético), riesgo de escalamiento incalculable y poder nuclear en equilibrio inestable. Factores limitantes: China no quiere involucrarse (si lo hace, el “game over” planetario); Rusia comenta desde la banda; la diplomacia existe, pero parece ficción. Realidad actual: es una guerra sin declaración formal, sin límites claros y sin un final visible. Es un conflicto mayor que podría convertirse en guerra mundial si alguien toma la decisión equivocada. Censura en redes sociales: TikTok, Grok y ChatGPT eliminan realidad selectivamente Vincent lanza una acusación central: las plataformas de redes sociales están censurando el conflicto real mientras amplifican la desinformación generada con IA. Se forma así un mecanismo de control dual. Censura selectiva. TikTok, Grok y ChatGPT han censurado términos como “Palestina libre”, bloquean videos de ataques verificables y silencian reportajes de bombardeos reales. El resultado es que los usuarios no ven la magnitud real del conflicto. Amplificación de desinformación. Al mismo tiempo, videos falsos generados con IA se replican masivamente. Un ejemplo documentado es un video de un misil impactando un portaaviones, con barcos salvavidas saliendo disparados de forma físicamente imposible. Medios internacionales lo replicaron como si fuera un evento real. “Mucha gente salió de ChatGPT esta semana no por problemas técnicos, sino porque OpenAI dijo ‘sí' a participar en la guerra cuando Anthropic dijo ‘no'. Unos 1,5 millones de usuarios migraron por cuestiones éticas”. — Vincent Quezada El parque “Policía” de Teherán: cómo la IA comete atrocidades sin intención Un detalle sintetiza la tragedia: en Teherán existe un parque público llamado Parque Policía. Sistemas de IA estadounidenses lo detectaron como “base militar de policía” y lo bombardearon. No había policías, solo civiles. Se destruyó infraestructura pública sin valor militar. Esto ilustra una crisis existencial: si los sistemas de IA se usan para identificar blancos y esos sistemas cometen errores de clasificación, ¿quién es responsable? La respuesta legal suele ser que nadie, porque “fue una máquina”. El patrón se repite: Hospitales destruidos. Escuelas destruidas. Iglesias destruidas. Cada error (Con o sin intención) se traduce en más víctimas civiles. ¿Qué porcentaje de lo que ves es real y qué parte es generado por IA? Esta es la pregunta que obsesiona a Pablo al final de la sección. En redes sociales, el feed está contaminado: videos viejos del año pasado, videos recientes manipulados con IA, análisis en tiempo real legítimos, campañas de desinformación coordinada y censura selectiva, todo mezclado. Pablo cita un reportaje de un canal europeo (disponible vía Roku) que analizaba la cantidad masiva de videos falsos que circulan. La conclusión es aterradora: no sabes en qué creer. “Entre no ver nada (porque está censurado) y ver todo falso (porque es IA), terminas paralizado. La verdad deja de importar cuando ya no sabes identificarla”. — Pablo Berruecos Impacto tecnológico real: Microsoft Azure y la columna vertebral digital del conflicto Un detalle merece su propio análisis: Irán atacó centros de datos de Microsoft en el Golfo Pérsico. No se trata de servicios comerciales como AWS, sino de infraestructura Azure que soporta: La columna vertebral operativa de la OTAN. El Departamento de Defensa de Estados Unidos. Grandes instituciones financieras occidentales. Infraestructura militar 5G. Zonas de disponibilidad Azure con clasificación FedRAMP High, la más alta que puede obtener un proveedor comercial. Si estos centros de datos llegaran a caer (algo aún no confirmado oficialmente), el impacto sería catastrófico para la estructura de defensa y las finanzas occidentales. Pablo subraya que esto no es un ataque comercial, sino un ataque al tejido conectivo digital que une la arquitectura de defensa con las ambiciones soberanas de IA en el Golfo Pérsico. Conclusión parcial. El conflicto Irán‑EU – Israel ya no es solo militar; es digital, económico y tecnológico. La desinformación generada con IA amplifica el caos mientras la censura selectiva paraliza la comprensión pública. El resultado es un planeta sin ley en el que la verdad es tan escasa como la paz. Mobile World Congress 2026: privacidad, seguridad y conectividad satelital Tras el análisis geopolítico, Vincent y Pablo redirigen la conversación hacia el Mobile World Congress 2026 en Barcelona, el evento más importante de la industria móvil global. Este año marca un punto de inflexión: privacidad y seguridad dejan de ser características opcionales para convertirse en pilares competitivos. Motorola abandona el Android tradicional por GrapheneOS; múltiples fabricantes lanzan teléfonos con Linux exclusivos para Europa; MediaTek integra conectividad satelital 5G; Nothing presenta el Phone 4 con diseño transparente Glyph Matrix. Pablo y Vincent diseccionan cada lanzamiento con detalle técnico. Nothing Phone 4: diseño Glyph Matrix transparente Nothing lanzó el Phone 4 con una propuesta radical: mantener el diseño transparente icónico y añadir Glyph Matrix, una matriz de 137,000 mini‑LEDs que cubren el 57% de la parte trasera del dispositivo y que brillan un 100% más que en generaciones anteriores. Estos LEDs generan iconos personalizables (batería, temporizador, reloj digital, espejo Glyph, camino solar) que transforman la cámara trasera en una interfaz háptica y visual única. Especificaciones técnicas del Nothing Phone 4 Diseño Glyph Lift Matrix: fusión de un cuerpo unibody de metal con refracciones de luz, acabados suaves sin fisuras y un diseño retrofuturista inspirado en cámaras de cine vintage y consolas clásicas. Colores: plata, negro y rosa metálico (poco común en 2026 y distintivo a simple vista). Cámara trasera principal: sensor Sony Exmor 700c de gran tamaño, 50 megapíxeles, zoom óptico 3,5x. Cámara gran angular: sensor Sony de 32 megapíxeles para captura de contexto amplio. Motor Lens Engine 4: compatible con fotos y video 4K Ultra HDR, efectos HDR Flex y Dolby Vision integrado. Pantalla AMOLED de 6,83 pulgadas: resolución 1,5K (2,408 × 1,506 píxeles), 450 ppp, tasa de refresco de 144 Hz (ideal para videojuegos) y brillo máximo de 5,000 nits. Protección: cristal Corning Gorilla Glass 7i con resistencia mejorada a caídas y rasguños. Procesador: Snapdragon 7 Serie Gen 4; CPU un 27% más rápida y GPU un 30% más potente que la generación anterior; capacidades de IA un 65% superiores. Memoria y almacenamiento: RAM LPDDR5X y almacenamiento UFS 3.1, con velocidades de lectura y escritura elevadas. Batería: 5,080 mAh, carga rápida de 50 W y más de 17 horas documentadas de uso mixto. Software: Nothing OS 4.1 basado en Android 16, con AI Dashboard para control de funciones de IA, Essential AI para organización de calendario y vida diaria, Essential Search (acceso multiplataforma inmediato), Essential Memory (personalización según actividad), Playground (creación de apps sin código) y Essential Space (sincronización en la nube multiplataforma). Precio y disponibilidad: la revelación oficial se programa para el 18 de marzo de 2026. Vincent confirma invitación al evento, pero con conflicto de agenda; espera recibir unidades de prueba. “El diseño transparente de Nothing no es solo estética; es filosofía. Muestran lo que todas las demás marcas ocultan. Es una declaración sobre privacidad y accesibilidad”. — Vincent Quezada Pruebas de cámara con el Honor Magic 8 Lite Vincent comparte sus pruebas de cámara con el Honor Magic 8 Lite realizadas durante un fin de semana en Chapultepec (Ciudad de México). Sus conclusiones son claras: la fotografía es excelente, el video es aceptable pero presenta limitaciones de estabilización al usar el zoom máximo. La batería del Honor duró desde el domingo hasta el viernes con un 82% restante al momento de grabar, algo que Vincent califica de “maravilla” frente a la competencia. La carga rápida también impresiona: del 15% al 80% en menos de 30 minutos. MediaTek M90: primer chip 5G con conectividad satelital integrada MediaTek presentó el M90, el primer chip móvil 5G con conectividad satelital integrada de fábrica. Esto permite que los dispositivos accedan a redes como Starlink Mobile incluso sin infraestructura celular terrestre. En contextos críticos —terremotos, conflictos armados, zonas rurales remotas—, esta conectividad híbrida 5G‑satelital es infraestructura de supervivencia, no un lujo tecnológico. ¿Por qué la conectividad satelital es crítica? Vincent comparte evidencia directa: durante simulacros de alerta sísmica y terremotos reales de 2026 en México, solo dos de sus cuatro teléfonos recibieron la alerta de emergencia. Los que tenían Wi‑Fi permanente activo y chips compatibles con conectividad satelital sí captaron la señal; los otros, no. La conclusión es inequívoca: la redundancia de conectividad puede literalmente salvar vidas. Casos de uso estratégicos: comunicaciones militares sin depender de operadores civiles comprometidos, navegación precisa en regiones sin torres celulares, transmisión de datos en vehículos autónomos en autopistas remotas y alertas de emergencia en zonas sísmicas o bajo ataque. Implicación geopolítica: gobiernos y fuerzas de seguridad pueden operar de forma independiente a los monopolios de conectividad nacional y los ciudadanos en zonas de conflicto pueden comunicarse sin censura de proveedores locales. Velocidad: no es la más alta (la latencia es mayor que la del 5G terrestre), pero garantiza conectividad donde no hay alternativas viables. “La conectividad satelital no es un lujo; es infraestructura crítica de supervivencia. Si no recibiste la alerta sísmica porque tu teléfono no tenía redundancia, la tecnología fracasó”. — Vincent Quezada Motorola abandona Android tradicional: apuesta por GrapheneOS Motorola anunció oficialmente el fin de su línea de dispositivos con Android estándar y su migración hacia GrapheneOS, un sistema operativo de código cerrado pero obsesionado con la privacidad. GrapheneOS implementa un aislamiento extremo a nivel granular: una aplicación de mensajería no puede acceder a micrófono, cámara o ubicación a menos que el usuario lo autorice explícitamente en cada sesión. Esta decisión responde a una demanda corporativa creciente de teléfonos resistentes a la vigilancia masiva, a ciberataques y a la exfiltración de datos. El mercado objetivo son empresas multinacionales, gobiernos, periodistas en contextos de riesgo y usuarios muy conscientes de la privacidad. Ventajas de GrapheneOS: aislamiento estricto por aplicación, permisos granulares que expiran por sesión, resistencia a puertas traseras corporativas o gubernamentales y actualizaciones de seguridad más rápidas que en Android AOSP. Desventajas: fragmentación de aplicaciones, compatibilidad limitada con Google Play Services, ecosistema menos maduro y curva de aprendizaje más pronunciada para usuarios no técnicos. Precio estimado: no se ha revelado oficialmente, pero se espera un sobreprecio de entre el 15% y el 20% respecto a modelos Android estándar. “Android abierto es poderoso pero vulnerable. GrapheneOS es Android cerrado, paranoico y centrado en la privacidad. La elección depende de si valoras más la conveniencia o el control absoluto de tus datos”. — Pablo Berruecos Teléfonos con Linux: código abierto verificable y seguridad auditada Varios fabricantes presentaron prototipos de teléfonos basados completamente en Linux, con lanzamiento inicial exclusivo en Europa. Linux ofrece transparencia total de código fuente, auditoría comunitaria constante y resistencia natural a puertas traseras corporativas o gubernamentales. Aunque el mercado se limita, de momento, a Europa por las estrictas regulaciones del RGPD, las proyecciones apuntan a una expansión global alrededor de 2027. Ventaja clave: código abierto 100% verificable, auditoría de seguridad comunitaria permanente, ausencia de telemetría corporativa oculta y actualizaciones controladas por el usuario. Desafío principal: enorme fragmentación de aplicaciones, compatibilidad casi nula con Google Play Store, ecosistema de apps menos maduro e interfaces menos pulidas que Android o iOS. Público objetivo: gobiernos europeos con requisitos de soberanía digital, periodistas de investigación, disidentes políticos y profesionales de sectores de seguridad crítica (finanzas, defensa, salud). Otros lanzamientos destacados del Mobile World Congress 2026 Smartphones con innovación radical en diseño y modularidad Honor Robot Phone: cámara de 200 megapíxeles montada en un brazo gimbal motorizado que se despliega desde el chasis, permitiendo ángulos de captura profesionales imposibles en teléfonos convencionales (autorretratos sin distorsión, videografía con estabilización tipo cine, panorámicas sin cortes digitales). Motorola Razr y Edge (FIFA World Cup 26 Collection): ediciones especiales con logotipo oficial del torneo, interfaz personalizada del evento y colores temáticos. Xiaomi 17 Ultra: presentación europea con especificaciones de gama alta, precio por anunciar pero competitivo frente al Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra. Nothing Phone 4A: versión más accesible del Phone 4 con colores llamativos (destaca el rosa metálico) y un Glyph Matrix reducido pero funcional. Unihertz Titan Elite 2: teclado físico completo (nostalgia BlackBerry) en un formato moderno con Android 16. Vivo X300 Ultra: cámara de 200 megapíxeles y lanzamiento global fuera de China, la primera vez que Vivo lleva un buque insignia de este tipo a mercados occidentales. Tecno Atom (modular magnético): sistema de accesorios magnéticos intercambiables inspirado en los antiguos Moto Mods (proyectores, cámaras adicionales, baterías extendidas) sin sacrificar portabilidad diaria. Tecno Power Neon: incorpora iluminación neón real usando tecnología de gas inerte de baja tensión; diseño retrofuturista cyberpunk; primer teléfono con neón físico desde 2003. Legion Gold Fold (concepto): teléfono plegable centrado en videojuegos, con pantalla de 240 Hz y gatillos ultrasónicos integrados. Laptops y tablets con pantallas modulares e IA integrada Lenovo ThinkBook módulo IPC: puertos intercambiables magnéticos para conectar una segunda pantalla portátil; extensión dinámica del espacio de trabajo sin cables. Lenovo Yoga Book Pro D: doble pantalla con visualización 3D sin necesidad de gafas de realidad virtual, productividad multitarea reforzada y reconocimiento de gestos en el aire. Asus VivoBook Pad XPS: tablet estilo laptop con pantalla OLED más grande (15,6 pulgadas) y teclado mecánico desmontable mejorado. Chips y conectividad avanzada: preparación para 6G Qualcomm FastConnect 8800: módulo Wi‑Fi 7 con IA integrada para optimizar el ancho de banda automáticamente según el tipo de contenido. Qualcomm X105 5G: módem un 15% más rápido, un 20% más pequeño y un 30% más eficiente que el X100, pensado como puente hacia 5G Advanced (5G‑A). Snapdragon Wear Elite: chip orientado a wearables y robótica, con procesamiento de baja latencia (por debajo de 10 ms), ideal para relojes inteligentes, audífonos con IA y robots de servicio. Samsung y la pantalla anti‑espionaje Samsung presentó una tecnología de pantalla que impide que las personas situadas a los lados del usuario vean el contenido. La innovación cambia la forma en que los píxeles emiten luz: se coloca un “aro óptico” alrededor de cada píxel que nubla la imagen cuando se observa desde ángulos laterales. Desde el frente, la imagen es perfectamente clara; desde cualquier otro ángulo, se ve borrosa e ilegible. “Esto resuelve el problema de privacidad en transporte público, oficinas compartidas y aeropuertos. Finalmente puedes trabajar con información sensible sin preocuparte de quién mira por encima de tu hombro”. — Pablo Berruecos Conclusión parcial. El Mobile World Congress 2026 consolidó privacidad, seguridad y conectividad satelital como pilares no negociables de la telefonía móvil. Nothing Phone 4 democratiza el diseño transparente; MediaTek integra satelital en chips 5G; Motorola apuesta por GrapheneOS; Europa lidera con teléfonos Linux. La pregunta ya no es “qué tan rápido es tu teléfono”, sino “qué tan privado y resiliente es”. Robots humanoides y audífonos inteligentes: la IA se vuelve física El Mobile World Congress 2026 no giró solo en torno a teléfonos. La inteligencia artificial se materializó en hardware físico: robots humanoides capaces de bailar moonwalk, audífonos que analizan la geometría del canal auditivo para prevenir pérdida de audición, dispositivos para mascotas con llamadas bidireccionales mediante gestos y gafas de realidad extendida con traducción en tiempo real. Vincent y Pablo exploran estas innovaciones con mirada crítica. Honor Robot Humanoid: bípedo capaz de bailar y servir Honor presentó un robot humanoide bípedo completamente funcional, capaz de bailar (incluyendo un moonwalk que se volvió viral), mantener el equilibrio en superficies irregulares y ejecutar tareas de servicio básicas. Pablo recuerda un momento particularmente comentado: un robot humanoide propinando un “golpe bajo” a un boxeador durante una demostración, probablemente por un error de calibración, que generó memes instantáneos. Capacidades motoras: caminar de forma estable, correr a baja velocidad, subir escaleras y bailar coreografías preprogramadas. Casos de uso previstos: servicio hotelero, asistencia en hospitales, limpieza industrial y entretenimiento en eventos. Limitaciones actuales: velocidad de procesamiento de IA para decisiones complejas, autonomía de batería de entre cuatro y seis horas en operación continua y costo prohibitivo para el consumidor final (por encima de 50,000 dólares). PetFoam: comunicación bidireccional para mascotas PetFoam es un dispositivo que permite a las mascotas “llamar” a sus dueños mediante gestos reconocidos por IA. Por ejemplo, un perro que rasca un sensor específico puede activar una videollamada al dueño. Este, a su vez, puede responder con voz, mientras la mascota ve la imagen en una pequeña pantalla integrada. El caso de uso central es claro: mascotas en una posible emergencia (heridas, atrapadas) pueden alertar sin que haya intervención directa de otra persona. Google Iris XR: gafas de realidad extendida con traducción simultánea Google presentó el prototipo Iris XR, unas gafas de realidad extendida —no realidad virtual completa— con traducción en tiempo real integrada mediante IA. Sus casos de uso incluyen viajes internacionales, reuniones multilingües y accesibilidad para personas sordas (con subtítulos en tiempo real de las conversaciones). De momento no tienen fecha de lanzamiento comercial y solo están disponibles en demos controladas del MWC. Audífonos inteligentes que analizan tu oído: riesgos y beneficios Los audífonos evolucionan de meros accesorios pasivos a dispositivos de bioacústica avanzada. En el MWC 2026 se mostraron modelos capaces de analizar la geometría única del canal auditivo del usuario para ajustar de forma dinámica la cancelación de ruido, la ecualización personalizada y la exposición a decibeles. Esto crea un perfil acústico único por oído, minimizando la fatiga auditiva acumulativa y el riesgo de pérdida de audición permanente. Características técnicas de estos audífonos Cancelación de ruido adaptativa: detecta frecuencias específicas del entorno (motor de autobús, viento, multitudes, maquinaria industrial) y las atenúa selectivamente sin aislar por completo. Medición de decibeles en tiempo real: emite alertas visuales o hápticas si el volumen excede los 85 dB durante más de 30 minutos, siguiendo el límite seguro sugerido por la OMS. Análisis de la forma del oído: ajusta la presión en el canal auditivo y modifica el ancho de banda según la morfología individual, reduciendo la fatiga en usos prolongados de más de ocho horas diarias. Ecualización personalizada: compensa las deficiencias auditivas naturales de cada usuario en determinadas frecuencias. Riesgos para la salud auditiva: la presión en el tubo de Eustaquio Vincent advierte sobre un riesgo poco mencionado por los fabricantes: la cancelación de ruido total crea un sello hermético que genera presión en el canal auditivo. Esta presión activa el tubo de Eustaquio, responsable de regular la presión en el oído medio. El uso prolongado con sellado hermético puede: Comprometer la capacidad natural del oído para regular la presión (similar a lo que ocurre en un avión). Crear dependencia de una presión artificial para “escuchar correctamente”. Generar fatiga auditiva acumulativa por exceso de vibraciones internas. Aumentar el riesgo de infecciones de oído medio por retención de humedad. “La cancelación de ruido total te aísla del mundo. Una cancelación inteligente te mantiene conectado a tu entorno mientras disfrutas la música. La diferencia es literal entre la vida y un accidente”. — Vincent Quezada Caso práctico en Chapultepec: ceguera auditiva y casi choque Pablo cuenta una experiencia personal: caminaba en Chapultepec, en Ciudad de México, con audífonos con cancelación activa total. No escuchó a una persona que le gritaba para evitar un choque. Cuando finalmente la vio, ya era tarde y terminaron chocando. Reflexiona que, si hubiera estado en bicicleta y no escuchara la campanilla del trenecito turístico —que avisa su paso—, podría haber frenado de golpe y causar un accidente. Su recomendación es clara: nunca uses cancelación de ruido total en espacios públicos como calles, ciclovías o transporte. Actívala solo en entornos controlados y seguros (oficina, casa, avión). Mantén siempre un nivel medio de cancelación que permita escuchar alertas críticas del entorno (claxon, sirenas, gritos de advertencia). “Tengan cuidado. Si vas en el camión o en transporte público y te toca sentarte atrás del motor, el ruido se vuelve insoportable. Los filtros te dejan solo con la música y con el entorno realmente importante. Pero si te aíslas por completo, no sabes si alguien te está alertando de un peligro real”. — Pablo Berruecos Alianzas estratégicas hacia 6G: Nokia, NTT, Vodafone y más El MWC 2026 no solo presentó dispositivos, sino alianzas estratégicas que definen la ruta hacia un 6G nativo en inteligencia artificial. Nokia, NVIDIA, NTT, NTT Docomo, Vodafone, BT, Elisa y otros operadores anunciaron colaboraciones para adoptar tecnologías AI‑RAN (inteligencia artificial en redes de acceso radio) que mejoran el rendimiento de la red y soportan el crecimiento exponencial de la IA móvil. ¿Qué es 6G y cuándo llegará? Vincent y Pablo aclaran una confusión común: 5G Advanced (5G‑A) no es una nueva generación, sino un refinamiento del 5G existente con más velocidad, menor latencia y mejor eficiencia energética. El verdadero salto generacional será 6G, proyectado para 2030‑2032 según el consenso de los operadores presentes en el MWC. Características esperadas de 6G: velocidades teóricas 100 veces más rápidas que 5G (hasta 1 Tbps), latencias de menos de 0,1 ms (frente a 1 ms en 5G), conectividad híbrida 5G‑satelital como estándar, orquestación de IA de forma nativa en la red y uso de fotónica óptica para reducir el consumo energético. Infraestructura necesaria: inversión estimada de 100,000 millones de euros a nivel global, renovación completa de torres celulares e integración de computación cuántica en los núcleos de red. Casos de uso diferenciales: vehículos autónomos de nivel 5 (sin intervención humana), cirugías remotas en tiempo real con robótica, realidad extendida persistente (un metaverso funcional) y ciudades inteligentes con millones de sensores de IoT sincronizados. “6G no será mejor solo por ser 6G. Será mejor porque será inteligente, consciente del contexto y capaz de auto‑optimizarse en tiempo real sin intervención humana”. — Vincent Quezada Financiamiento y fotónica óptica: la apuesta de NTT Group AWS anunció la expansión de su infraestructura en mercados emergentes (India, Indonesia, Nigeria). Vodafone, la GSMA y otros organismos de telecomunicaciones aseguraron financiamiento de hasta 100 millones de euros específicamente para el desarrollo de estándares 6G con IA integrada desde el diseño. Esta inversión señala un cambio: actores privados financian estándares que antes estaban bajo control casi exclusivo de gobiernos. Por su parte, NTT Group (Japón) presentó sus avances en fotónica óptica y redes ópticas inalámbricas (ION: Innovative Optical and Wireless Network). El objetivo es reducir el consumo energético de los centros de datos, disparado por el uso intensivo de inteligencia artificial. Entre los proyectos destacados se encuentran: Convergencia fotónico‑electrónica: mejora la eficiencia energética de los centros de datos hasta un 60% respecto a la electrónica tradicional. Computación cuántica óptica: cálculos a gran escala con menor espacio físico, más velocidad y menores costes a largo plazo. Infraestructura resiliente con IA: redes autorreparables que detectan y resuelven fallos sin intervención humana. Ya no se trata solo de lanzar productos, sino de redefinir cómo se integran telecomunicaciones, movilidad y tecnología para sostener la explosión de la IA sin colapsar redes eléctricas a nivel global. Conclusión general: hacia una tecnología más consciente El episodio del 6 de marzo de 2026 captura un momento bisagra. La inteligencia artificial local (CoPaw) permite privacidad sin sacrificar productividad; GPT‑5.4 amplía el contexto a niveles impensables hace apenas un año; la MacBook Neo democratiza el acceso a macOS; el conflicto Irán‑Israel muestra cómo la desinformación generada por IA paraliza la comprensión pública mientras la censura selectiva oculta la realidad; y el Mobile World Congress 2026 consagra la privacidad, la seguridad satelital y el 6G como pilares del futuro móvil. Motorola abandona Android por GrapheneOS. Llegan teléfonos con Linux a Europa. MediaTek integra la conectividad satelital en chips 5G. Audífonos inteligentes analizan la geometría auditiva. Robots humanoides bailan moonwalk. Nokia y NVIDIA sientan las bases para 6G. De forma simultánea, la geopolítica y la desinformación revelan que una IA sin restricciones éticas se convierte en arma de control masivo. El desafío de 2026 no es tecnológico, sino humano: elegir entre la conveniencia monitoreada y la privacidad consciente. Las alianzas hacia 6G establecerán quién controla la infraestructura digital del planeta. La censura en redes sociales demuestra que la verdad es tan escasa como la paz. Y herramientas como CoPaw ofrecen una alternativa: control total de tus datos sin depender de corporaciones dispuestas a negociar su ética a cambio de contratos militares.

A seguire una lunga intervista al sindaco di Isernia Pietro Castrataro che dal 26 dicembre dorme in tenda davanti all'ospedale Ferdinando Veneziale, uno dei quattro rimasti in Molise, per protesta contro i tagli alla sanità della sua Regione. Infine l'ultima chiacchierata con Le bambole di pezza prima della serata finale del Festival di Sanremo.

Lindsay is joined by author Gigi Berardi to discuss her newest book, “Bianca's Cure,” which was released by She Writes Press on February 10th, 2026. Florence, 1563. Forbidden from practicing her herbal cures in Venice, the young noblewoman Bianca Capello flees to Florence, where the ruling Medici family practices alchemy. There, she wins herself an invitation to their palace, and, as well as a path to Duke Regent Francesco's bed. The impassioned bond between Francesco de Medici and Bianca is at the core of this fact-driven dive into medicine, politics, love, and ultimately death in Renaissance Florence. Gigi Berardi hails from Hollywood, and holds degrees in biology, resources and planning, and dance. A Fulbright scholar in Italy and professor at Western Washington University in Bellingham, she also teaches in Florence, Italy. She's written more than 400 reviews and articles for print media and been featured on an array of podcasts and broadcast media. Beyond writing, her other passions include dance, cheesemaking, and travel. Purchase a copy in ebook or paperback. Send us your listener questions to bit.ly/AskYOC.

For most of history, men ruled the world. But for 3 decades in the late 1500s two powerful women dominated Europe. Catherine de Medici was Queen of France and Elizabeth I was Queen of England. Neither one was expected to be Queen. But both bid their time until they could seize power. They were brilliant, dynamic, determined, and sometimes ruthless leaders. But even with all they had in common, their differences made them fierce opponents. Catherine was a catholic, a wife and a mother, while Elizabeth was protestant and single by choice. Dozens of books and dramas have focused on the epic rivalry between Elizabeth and her northern neighbor, Mary Queen of Scots. And while she is an important part of the story, Elizabeth's relationship with her greater nemesis, Catherine has long been forgotten. However, season 2 of the Starz series Serpent Queen, and the recent book Blood, Fire & Gold by Estelle Paranque have resurrected the historic frienemies. So let's examine the parallel lives and epic rivalry between Elizabeth I and Catherine de Medici. Join me every Tuesday when I'm Spilling the Tea on History!

(00:00:00) Cervelli cetacei e altre storie (00:03:44) neonati e categorizzazione oggetti (00:22:43) comunicazione nella medicina (00:40:41) Delfini e Orche che collaborano In questa puntata di Scientificast partiamo dai primissimi mesi di vita: davvero a due mesi siamo già in grado di categorizzare il mondo che ci circonda? Ce lo racconta Anna Truzzi, parlando del suo studio pubblicato su Nature Neuroscience, che mostra come i neonati sappiano distinguere e raggruppare gli oggetti molto prima di quanto immaginassimo. Un viaggio nelle origini della conoscenza, quando il cervello è appena agli inizi ma è già sorprendentemente organizzato. Risultati che dialogano anche con l'intelligenza artificiale: lo studio suggerisce che l'apprendimento visivo possa emergere con pochissima esperienza, a differenza degli algoritmi di IA che richiedono enormi quantità di dati e potenza di calcolo per essere addestrati. Un confronto che solleva interrogativi anche sul piano energetico e ambientale, vista la crescente impronta ecologica dei grandi modelli.Restiamo poi in ambito umano, ma cambiamo prospettiva: Francesca intervista il dottor Enrico Lauta, anestesista e direttore di un distretto socio-sanitario della ASL Bari, per parlare della complessità e dell'importanza della comunicazione tra medico e paziente. In questa prima parte ripercorriamo le origini storiche del ruolo del medico e osserviamo come questa figura si sia trasformata dall'antichità a oggi, tra autorità, fiducia e alleanza terapeutica. Nella prossima puntata entreremo nel vivo dell'effetto placebo e del suo ruolo psicologico nella terapia, quando agisce in sinergia con le cure e con il personale sanitario.Infine, spazio al mare: Giuliano ci porta dentro uno studio pubblicato su Scientific Reports che indaga le interazioni tra orche residenti del Nord (Orcinus orca) e delfini del Pacifico (Lagenorhynchus obliquidens) durante la caccia al salmone Chinook (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha). Grazie a droni e a biologger dotati di videocamere, sensori acustici e inerziali applicati a nove individui, i ricercatori hanno osservato movimenti coordinati e una sorprendente assenza di comportamenti aggressivi o di evitamento tra le due specie.Più che semplice co-presenza o competizione, emerge così una forma opportunistica di cooperazione interspecifica, con benefici per entrambi: maggiore efficienza di caccia per le orche, accesso a risorse altrimenti inaccessibili per i delfini. Un risultato che apre nuove domande sulle dinamiche ecologiche e cognitive di queste alleanze tra predatori marini.Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/scientificast-la-scienza-come-non-l-hai-mai-sentita--1762253/support.

Vegan essen – gesund trainieren – und trotzdem „Zahnprobleme“? In dieser Episode schauen wir evidenzbasiert auf Fluorid, vegane Ernährungsgewohnheiten und die besonderen Belastungen im Sport: Sports Drinks, Smoothies, Mundtrockenheit und häufige Kohlenhydratzufuhr. Du bekommst ein klares Modell, wie Karies und Erosion entstehen, welche Befunde Studien bei Veganer:innen und Athlet:innen zeigen und welche Präventionsmaßnahmen in der Praxis funktionieren.   Korrektur: Im Podcast spricht Dominik von einer Dentalfluorose, die er entwickelt habe durch Fluorid. Dies ist jedoch im Erwachsenenalter nicht mehr möglich. Wahrscheinlicher sind Verfärbungen der Zähne, durch im Tee enthaltene Tannine. Dennoch enthält Tee mitunter große Mengen Fluorid.  ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dominiks Buch zur pflanzenbasierten Sporternährung im UTB-Verlag: https://www.utb.de/doi/book/10.36198/9783838560328 Dominiks Gesundheitscommunity: www.gsundes-hannover.de Dominiks Online-Knie-Kurs: https://gsundes-hannover.de/knieschmerzen/ Dominiks Online-Rücken-Kurs: https://copecart.com/products/34bd5abb/checkout Marcs veganes Online-Fitness-Coaching: https://vegainer-academy.com/ Marcs Online-Kurs: https://www.copecart.com/products/a50f88f2/checkout ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dieser Podcast wird unterstützt von der Firma Watson Nutrition.

[00:00:09] Diane Bouis: The inventions and technologies are fascinating and so are the people who work with them. [00:00:15] Frank Jaskulke: There was a period of time where I realized, fundamentally, my job was to go hang out with really smart people that are saving lives and then do work that would help them save more lives. [00:00:28] Diane Bouis: I got into the business to save lives and it is incredibly motivating to work with people who are in that same business, saving or improving lives. [00:00:38] Duane Mancini: What better industry than where I get to wake up every day and just save people's lives. [00:00:42] Lindsey Dinneen: These are extraordinary people doing extraordinary work, and this is The Leading Difference. Hello, and welcome back to another episode of the Leading Difference podcast. I'm your host Lindsey, and today I'm delighted to welcome Dr. Stuart Grant. Dr. Grant is a chartered engineer and the founder of Archetype Medtech, a consultancy and innovation studio helping medical device startups and scale ups transform early clinical, unmet needs into market ready products. With nearly 25 years of experience, Stuart has led global teams across the UK, US, China, and emerging markets delivering breakthrough innovations in hip, knee, shoulder, and trauma surgery. A highlight of his career was establishing the ASPAC Innovation Center in China, where he built R&D capability from the ground up and launched a pioneering total knee instrument system that dramatically reduced time to market. Passionate about advancing medical technology and mentoring future engineers, he bridges creativity, engineering, and regulation to accelerate safer, smarter medtech innovation worldwide. All right. Welcome to the show. It's so great to have you here today. Thanks for joining me. [00:01:57] Stuart Grant: It's lovely to be here, Lindsey. [00:01:58] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Excellent. Well, I was wondering if you could start by sharing a little bit about yourself, your background, and what led you to medtech. [00:02:08] Stuart Grant: Yeah. So, I was actually, I'm obviously, as you can tell from my accent, I'm British, but I was born in Germany because my, my dad was in the military in the 1970s when I was born. So I was born actually in Berlin, which is quite interesting to be a place to be, grew up in. So I traveled around a lot here in the UK, in Germany with my dad getting posted everywhere. My mom's a nurse. So I was in medtech, not really knowing I was in medtech as a kid, but I, my family was, so yeah. And then obviously went to school, all the places I was at university. I went to university to do product design, and my goal was to be a product designer, a cool product designer, designing fancy products like Johnny Ive. And when I was looking for a job as a co-op, or an intern as you call them in the US, I was just really unsuccessful finding a job. I was doing a lot of interviews, getting turned down, sending my CV out a lot, and j happened just to advertise on the Board of University, and it said Johnson Orthopedics and no one really knew what that was in. And none of my fellow students at applied because they thought it would be designing baby bottles for putting talcum powder in and shampoo in and stuff like that. So they're like, "I'm not doing that job." So I desperately applied for it and luckily found out about all this medtech, and I've been here doing medtech for 25 years. So they gave me a job. I had to work hard to keep the job and get reemployed over and over again. But yeah, joining originally Johnson Orthopedics a long time ago is how I found out about medtech. I never knew when I was 18 that really it was a thing that existed. [00:03:47] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. So, okay. So you thought product design, and then when you got into medtech, what were some of the things that attracted you and that actually compelled you to stay and make a career out of it? [00:04:00] Stuart Grant: Ha. So I was a young guy with the student debts. What compelled me, I was getting paid to stay, but not to be too flippant about it, but, you know, when I was doing this engineering and design work in my early days in the CAD system, it was just so interesting. I was designing these products that were going into people or the instrumentation to make help the surgeon and going to these ORs and watching the surgeon do their job and trying to figure out how how I can make it better from their input was really interesting. I could apply it straight away, basically. In the early two thousands, there wasn't all these regulations and standards that slowed you down. So you could go and design an instrument, get it machined in the machine shop, get it clean, take it to the surgeon, he can use it, you know, probably be frowned upon 25 years later. But that's what we used to do and really adapt. And probably more interesting than going into product design and fast moving consumer goods where you're designing a, a kettle or a toaster or something, a plastic casing. It was actually much more interesting to do that. And I stayed because I spent four years here in Leeds, in the UK, was getting a bit bored and wanted to find something else to do, and then an opportunity came up in the US. So I moved over to Warsaw, Indiana, the orthopedics capital of the world, as you might know it. Worked there for, stayed there for seven years. Really enjoyed it.. People sort of bemoan Warsaw for being in the sticks in just a bunch of cornfields around it. But I enjoyed it. It's got, we had a good bunch of young friends there. I was in late twenties, early thirties at the time. There was Noah and Spikes. You'd go for a drink and some nice food. It was all right. I enjoyed my time and after that I was, after seven years, I was like, "Okay, what do I do next?" And I was looking around for jobs in medtech. Then another opportunity came up in and we were looking for people to go over and help set it up, train the staff on what MedTech product development was. And so I jumped to the chance and spent five years living in China, in Shanghai. After five years is your limit, so I had to come home. I couldn't stay. I wanted to stay, but they wouldn't allow me to. So, so I came back to the UK. And then started MDR for five years as leading the Joints MDR program, which was lots of fun, as you could probably tell, wasn't really R&D, was a lot of leadership and project management and dealing with a lot of people and a lot of problems on a day-to-day basis. And so, yeah, after that I I left J&J about three years ago and started my own product development agency. And we can talk about a little bit about that later. So that's where I am and where I got to. [00:06:50] Lindsey Dinneen: Excellent. Yeah, I definitely wanna talk about that as well. But going back a little bit-- and perhaps this is actually something that's occurred since you started your own company as well-- but are there any moments that really stand out to you along your journey of affirming that, "Hey, yeah, I actually am in the right place, in the right industry?" [00:07:12] Stuart Grant: That's a really hard one is sort of the, is the grass always greener somewhere else, type of question. Right? I guess compare, you shouldn't compare, but comparing to my friends at my university, my product design and what they've done and what I've done they've moved into the car industry a lot. Went to the car development and car industries always had its ups and downs and its problems. And you know, they've had some really cracking jobs working for McLaren and Ferrari and you know, but I think just the interesting things that medtech do that nobody really knows about is really what keeps me moving along and having conversations with people when they, you tell them like, "I used to design hips and knees and shoulders and things like that," and they're like, "Oh, my mother's got a hip and knee" and blah, blah, and you really talk about it. Actually, my mother does have a hip now and she's going in a couple months time to get the other hip done. I do know what brand she's got, so. [00:08:10] Lindsey Dinneen: See, that's really cool. Yeah. Okay. So, so, on your LinkedIn I noticed that you describe yourself as a fixer, a challenger, and a change maker, which I love. But I'd love to hear from you exactly what you mean by all those things as you have developed in your career, and now as you're doing, of course, your own consulting. [00:08:34] Stuart Grant: Yeah, so in Johnson and my colleagues are probably, I agree with this, I had a bit of a reputation of getting the more difficult projects. The, that's probably why I got MDR in the end 'cause I would always get the projects that had problems and I enjoyed that. I liked digging deep and solving the problem and wrangling everyone together and pushing everybody along to help. And that was actually one of the reasons why I moved to the US 'cause the original project I moved to was the project leader left and it was in a bit of a shambles. So I went over to sort of, sort of try and get it together and just ended up staying and working on multiple projects. So I like that. Really challenging, not just the engineering side. The engineering side is obviously really interesting, but the challenging project management and people management and process management in a big corporation, all of those things, people, product, process, all come together just to cause a big headache sometimes, you know, herding cats as say and going, trying to solve those problems as an engineer, always trying to solve these problems, right? So it's you're always trying to figure out how you can move forward. [00:09:52] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. So, okay, so that kind of brings us to the company. So what was it like going from employee to entrepreneur? Were you, did you feel ready and prepared for that leap? Or what has that transition and pathway been for you? [00:10:10] Stuart Grant: So I've, I was a long-term planner. I was planning for this for five years whilst I was working for Johnson. So I went and got, when I came back to the UK I started my PhD and I knew getting a PhD was a real way of building credibility immediately, right? Before you step in a room and have a conversation with you, if you've got a PhD in the subject you're about to talk about, people pay attention, hopefully. Right? So I did my, so I did my PhD in Medtech Product Innovation, what the process is. So I spent seven years part-time working for Johnson, getting my PhD, knowing that eventually in my mid forties, there'll be an inflection point, which usually isn't people in big corporations, right, that either stay to the end for until you're six, mid sixties. If you hit 50, usually stay for the next decade, right? Or you leave and do something else. And I was like, "Okay, 45, I'm gonna pull the bandaid, go in, get my PhD, set up my own company plan, get the plan to do it, get the savings," and so I was working on MDR and a new MDR was coming to an end, and then they'd have to find me a new project, which probably didn't exist. So I also knew that J&J would be like, "Ah, Stuart, you've been here for 23 years. There's not really anything of your level here." I'd be like, "Great, let's go." So this was all a, you always it's a big step, right? I have a family. I can't just sort of walk in, not come in the office anymore. So it was a big plan that my wife and I had for quite a number of years to execute. So it's still a struggle. I've been doing it for three years. It's still hard work, still building the company, finding clients, understanding what their pain points are and improving your picture and all those other things, still is still a challenge, but it's a new challenge. [00:12:06] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. [00:12:07] Stuart Grant: And as I say, as I said, when people worry about the risk, it's like I can easily just go and get a corporate job again as a move back and have all this new relevant experience. So it's a risk, but you have to balance that by the benefits. [00:12:21] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah, calculated risk that you've planned for, so good for you. So, okay, so tell us a little bit about your company now and who you help and kind of where in the development or even ideation process that you can come in and really make a difference. [00:12:40] Stuart Grant: So, yeah, so Archetype MedTech is a product development, product innovation agency. And what we do, we usually work with startups or scale ups. Startup side, they'll have a proof of concept. They've already defined the unmet clinical need. They've sort of wrangled the technology and validated the actual technology does what it they're trying to make it do, but they just dunno how to make this a medical device product, right? They've they've got the technology, but they dunno how the product make a product that's sellable is releasable and it gets approved by FDA or here in the, i'll say here in the EU, I know I said in the UK, but MDR and I help them work out that product innovation strategy. So take them all through either they need to do the frontend innovation and understand their needs and the insights and the business case, and then the engineering requirements and specifications. The design and engineering part I help them with, and this is not just me. I have a network of experts, a sort of consortium of experts that come together and bring all these different specialties and then we help them with the testing, what testing they need to do, their risk management, usability, all that fun stuff. And then contact and help them work with the manufacturers. So contract manufacturers, then their regulatory approval. So really what we try to do is, 'cause we're bringing all this expertise as a group of people together, the entrepreneur, usually a salesman or surgeon at this point, who may be a university spin out, can spend a lot of time and money trying to find these experts, trying to find these resources, trying to understand the product development, the MedTech product development process, which is all written down in various books, but when you get down to the details, it gets really complicated. So what we do is help them go through that as fast and as efficiently as a possible, so they're not wasting capital fishing around for those experts. We already have that network of experts that we can bring in and take them through the process as quickly as possible. So that's what Archetype Medtech do for our clients. And has been successful. We have quite a number of clients, mostly in orthopedics and surgical 'cause that's my specialty in medtech. And what we also do, we just don't want to be a management consultancy firm. Well, we do if it's right, we share what we call expertise for equity. So we'll take some equity from the company, but we'll cut our day rates or maybe do it for free, do and help them go through the process as quickly as possible. That means we've got skin in the game, right? We're not just taking their money and going, "Great. This is great. Good luck on the commercialization. Not our problem." [00:15:29] Lindsey Dinneen: Right. [00:15:30] Stuart Grant: It is our problem. 'cause we want a return on our risk and our investment as well. So, yeah, that's what we try to do. And along with that we do a load of pro bono work with surgeons in the NHS who have had ideas. We help them just get their idea a bit further along so they can start looking for funding and investment, and I can share that with you later 'cause it's a really important program that the NHS run it. If there's any mentors out there that want to get involved I can point them in the right direction. [00:16:00] Lindsey Dinneen: Actually that's fantastic and I would love to hear a little bit more about the organization and yeah, how people can get involved and help and what do they all do. [00:16:10] Stuart Grant: Yeah. So the NHS have set up this called NHS Clinical Entrepreneurs Program. This is not my company. This is a completely separate organization. And what it is, clinicians, anybody who works in the NHS-- you know NHS is a 1.6 million people who are employed in the NHS. It's a massive company organization. They come up with clinical needs 'cause they're in the problem and they start working out how they solve it, even through medical device or health tech or an app or anything, right? And they can go into this, it is basically the equivalent of an accelerator program over about nine months. And we have mentors like myself who work with those clinicians to help them develop their idea. So I've got a couple of clinicians that I work with. One is developing a neurosurgical device for helping him cut out tumors in the brain. At the moment, they use two tools. They use a scalpel and a cordy, a bipolar cordy, and they're very basic tools. And what he has to do, he's under a microscope, and he has to swap these one by one, does this scalpel to cut the vascularization of the tumor. Then he has to seal it. And he has to pass the nurse has to pass in these tools and he can't see a, see the nurse passing him. So he is like, "Can I develop a tool that's in one a scalpel and a bipolar" so he doesn't have to keep changing the tool in his hand? And you can know by the cognitive load and changing that tool in the field that these surgeries take eight to 12 hours to cut out a tumor from the brain. So he's saying every, he swaps his tool about 200 times and it takes three seconds. So you can start doing the maths. [00:17:59] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. [00:18:01] Stuart Grant: Yeah. And then the other, so the other is a doctor, actually, the doc is a neonatal doctor and he's trying to develop a langoscope for neonatal babies. The langoscopes at the moment haven't really improved in the last 60 years. The Muller blades, they're called, and they're the stainless steel things that basically adult ones have been shrunk down to baby size and changed a little bit. They're not very good. And when you've got a newborn baby who's struggling to breathe, the mother's there obviously upset, so the father's probably there and you're trying to get langoscope down their throat, it's not a great, it is a very stressful situation, so he's kind of developed a, trying to develop a better one, right? Even the simple things. These things are made of stainless steel and you put a piece of metal on a baby's tongue. A newborn baby's obviously never experienced cold before, so they obviously start freaking out and squirming and you're trying to get this thing down her throat. It's crazy. So I'm helping him to see if he can come up with a better solution. He's got a, got an idea at the moment. He's developed some prototypes and we're gonna help him get it, see if we can get it a bit further along, and hopefully get to the market and solve this real small unmet clinical need, but really important one. [00:19:16] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. That's incredible to hear about both of those stories. That is really exciting. I love I-- this is partly why I love this industry so much is the innovation coming out of it is always amazing. People care so deeply about making a difference and improving patient outcomes, and then to hear about those kinds of innovations, ugh, that's awesome. [00:19:38] Stuart Grant: Yeah. Yeah. So if there's any experts out there listening who wanna get involved in the N-H-S-C-E-P program, I know Australia does one too. So yeah, get involved and share your knowledge freely to some clinicians who wanna, who have found an unmet clinical need and wanna solve it, but don't know how to. [00:19:56] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Love it. That's fantastic. So it, it seems like, you know, from your career trajectory and your continuing education all this time that you are not someone who sits still very well. And I think you mentioned this a little bit in your LinkedIn profile, you like to keep moving. So one of the things that I noticed that you do, and I'd love if you share about it, is you do lectures on the history of innovation. Could you share a little bit about that? [00:20:24] Stuart Grant: Yeah. So. I I really, so I sort of got into reading about innovate. I love reading innovation books, right, nonfiction, innovation books, which I got in about 10 years ago. I read probably one of the first one was "The Idea Factory," which is about Bell Labs. And that was how Bell Labs has invented the telephone system and invented the transistor, won a load of Nobel Prizes. Shockley and Bardine were there. They just had this crazy Medici effect going on in Bell Labs. The Medici effect when you collect everybody together in a small area and they just start bouncing ideas and coming up with some hugely creative solutions. And that comes from Florence when DaVinci and Michelangelo and Raphael were all kicking about Florence and they were all paid for by the Medici family, so this why it's called the Medici. There's a book about it actually called "The Medici Effect." So I started reading all this and started just going backwards in history and getting to the industrial revolution and how the industrial revolution happened. And going further back to these group of men called the Lunar Men who were in Birmingham here in the UK who basically, it was James Watt, who invented the steam engine, Wedgewood, who was the pottery guy. It is Rasmus Darwin, who was Charles Darwin's great-grandfather. Yeah. All these people, they were called the Lunar Man 'cause they met every month in the full moon and discussed ideas and I think probably got drunk. [00:22:00] Lindsey Dinneen: I mean... [00:22:03] Stuart Grant: So yeah, I just love reading it and you know, I love, I'm now a little bit of a brag. As of last month, I'm a fellow of the Institute of Mechanical Engineers, and that is quite prestigious that was created by George Stevenson, and George Stevenson was the guy who created the steam train. [00:22:23] Lindsey Dinneen: Okay. [00:22:23] Stuart Grant: So we took Watts' idea of the steam engine, put it on wheels, figured out how to work. And I love, I just love steam trains and that's very dorky of me, I know. But I love, as a mechanical engineer, just seeing all the bits move and actually seeing them chug around all the noise and the steam. And here where I live in Yorkshire, in the UK, up the road in York is the National Railway Museum, which all the steam trains are at. Darlington is west. George Stevenson had his the original railway, the Darton Stock Railway. So George Stevenson created the Institute of Mechanical Engineers 'cause he was a mechanical engineer and his son created the rocket the first really fast once, Robert Stevenson. So learning all this and then figuring out how, then I went back-- I'm, so this is a long answer to your question-- then I went back went back and like understood why the industrial revolution happened and it was all about the banking system here, how people could get capital. And then the legal system grew up to protect that capital. And then agriculture improved in the UK so people weren't just stuck on farms, subsistence farming. There was enough food being produced to support the population so the population could go and work in factories and obviously James Watt creating the steam power created more power. So people in horses and everybody didn't have to work so hard. And then there was politics involved with the Hugonos, which were the Protestant, the French Protestants came over and they had all, they had the ability to make all these machine parts, 'cause that's our skill. Some of them came to the UK and the others went to Switzerland. And that's where the watch industry in Switzerland created. And then, you know, and then the scientific approach and the enlightenment came in the UK and it all just sort of bubbled up into the industrial revolution and then cascaded through the 19th century and the 20th century in. Here we are in the 21st century. So I just love knowing that whole pathway of somebody said "We need more legal," and then somebody said, "We need more banking" and as startups, right, investment is the king. So it all started 300 years ago with the UK banking system. [00:24:35] Lindsey Dinneen: Fascinating. Oh my goodness. That is so interesting. Yeah. Okay. One other interesting thing I caught from your LinkedIn profile is that you are a painter, but you are an exhibited painter, yes? [00:24:51] Stuart Grant: Yeah, I, well, I try. [00:24:54] Lindsey Dinneen: Okay. [00:24:54] Stuart Grant: So yeah. Obviously I did product design right? And I did product design because at school, I was good at art and I was good at maths and physics. So I was looking around going, "What discipline do those three things fit together?" And it looked like it was product design. I was like, "Okay, I'm half an engineer, half an artist, not good at either." So about 10 years ago I decided to pick up art again. It was, started to go to classes and doing landscapes and actually sadly the industrial decline of Britain's, so the old buildings of the industrial revolution and stuff like that. So I paint that stuff. [00:25:36] Lindsey Dinneen: Oh, that's so cool. [00:25:37] Stuart Grant: Put it into exhibitions and sometimes get rejected, sometimes get accepted, and try and sell a couple so I can at least call myself an artist. [00:25:45] Lindsey Dinneen: There you go. I love it. Yeah. Well, and that creativity and that artistry does, you know, impact your work in general, because I think sometimes having that outlet actually spurs some just creative solutions outside of the box that, you know, might have not come to you immediately if you were just like, you know, head down, really working hard on this project. And then if you could take a step back do you feel that it helps you in that way at all? [00:26:15] Stuart Grant: Yeah. Yeah, it definitely does. Not thinking about work is and just having it percolate in the background and not actually, 'cause it's a very slow deliberate process painting, right? So it does, you just lose hours and hours painting something, which is really nice. Obviously I've got a, I've got a 5-year-old at the moment running around, so I don't do that much painting. I usually just reserve it for when I go to my art class on Wednesday nights 'cause trying to focus is not a thing for a 5-year-old. [00:26:46] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah, That's fair. Okay. Well, all right, so pivoting the conversation just for fun. Imagine that you were to be offered a million dollars to teach a master class on anything you want. It could be within your industry. It also could be your history of innovation, but what would you choose to teach? [00:27:08] Stuart Grant: So I thought about this when you gave that question because I was like, "Well, I've already talked about the history of innovation and that can pretty boring." So my other boring side, when you do a PhD, you always wish you did another subject. That's the thing is like, I wish I studied that instead. So my, as you go through the PhD, you learn other things and you're like, "Oh, that's really interesting." And you go down rabbit holes and you're like, "Oh, well stop. That's not my job. That's not what I'm trying to do here." One of the ones was how technology and society are interlinked. So technology drives society, and we've got lots of examples of that. Steam engines, trains, telephones, electricity, light bulb, broadband, and now AI. And so technology affects society. Then society drives technology. They're a virtuous circle. Some people say it not virtuous at all, but they, that's what happens. And understanding how those two things, society and culture and technology all interact is really interesting to me. And obviously not all technologies are adopted. Some are abandoned. Sometimes the better technology is abandoned for an inferior technology for lots and lots of reasons. There's examples. In the eighties, it was VHS and beta max, Blu-ray and HD DVDs. And what else? The keyboard, QWERTY keyboard is meant to be terrible. And that was designed 'cause of typewriters at the time. So the keys didn't smash together, but obviously that's not needed anymore. So those things interest me and I like to study that more, but I like to study it. Thinking about medtech and how our technology in medtech has affected society and using that lens 'cause we also always talk about clinical needs, right? What's your unmet clinical need? What are you trying to solve here? But there's also a social and cultural need that you are maybe not addressing directly, but you are addressing it. And how that drives medtech, and you know, it's we talk about like medtech equality and democratizing medtech and making it more accessible, but there's always the flip size of medtech inequalities. The big one probably at the moment is robotic surgery. Hugely expensive. Only available to very few. So how will that filter through society? How does that affect society? Will it just be for the rich developed countries to use robotic surgery? How will that affect it going forward the next 10, 20 years? Because it uses a capital equipment, right? They can't be diffused through society very easily. So that, that's one thing I would like to study and sort of talk about a little bit more, 'cause I think it's really interesting, especially now AI is being talked about and how digitizing healthcare is gonna happen over the next decade. Interesting if we're overclaiming that at the moment and a lot of startups are overclaiming, what they can really do and is it gonna, is there gonna be a backlash? Who knows? Let's see. In our, maybe in a decade, I'll present a course on it. [00:30:23] Lindsey Dinneen: There you go. Okay. And time will tell. Alright. I like it. Very cool. Okay. And how do you wish to be remembered after you leave this world? [00:30:34] Stuart Grant: Yeah. My PhD was like, I would probably like, I'd like to remember my PhD findings, but I'm like, no, who cares? [00:30:44] Lindsey Dinneen: Oh. [00:30:45] Stuart Grant: I, I've got, of course, my family, making an impact on my, what I've done here with my family, but, and I was really thinking about this question earlier. I was like, "Well, I hope this isn't the end. I hope I haven't peaked." [00:31:02] Lindsey Dinneen: Yes, that's fair, okay. [00:31:06] Stuart Grant: So maybe the next 20, 30 years, hopefully I'll be remembered for something, I hope. [00:31:12] Lindsey Dinneen: Okay. To be determined. I like that. I like that a lot all right. [00:31:18] Stuart Grant: It's a positive. [00:31:20] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. It's, and it's a forward way of thinking that, you know, you don't have to limit yourself to what you've already done or accomplished or seen. Who knows? The world is exciting. Yeah. I like it. Okay. [00:31:33] Stuart Grant: Well, yes, I'm yeah, definitely. [00:31:35] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah, all. [00:31:36] Stuart Grant: One of the things we're doing-- I was looking at the Australian MedTech market and really just trying to figure out what's going on to see if there's anything I can do there. And talking to my wife, we decided, 'cause my daughter's not at school yet, we decided, "Let's go to Australia for an extended holiday." And it was gonna be like a month and we'll start working it all out, like we're just gonna go for three months, March, April and May this year, to sort of experience Australia, experience the MedTech market, go meet a lot of people, understand and just sort of grow and try to understand another way of people. I know Australia, they've got a similar culture to the UK and the US. But they do, they are far away. So they have a different take on things. And I wanna see what a difference is and see if I can get involved. So we're off to Australia on the MedTech market, so if anybody's listening, reach out to me on LinkedIn. It'll be we'll hopefully when I'm over there, we are in Brisbane. We can meet up. [00:32:32] Lindsey Dinneen: Excellent. Yeah, no, that's really exciting. And I actually have a few people I can connect you with as well, so, yeah. Okay. And then final question. What is one thing that makes you smile every time you see or think about it? [00:32:48] Stuart Grant: Oh. I think it's, it is back to my old answers, it's back to the steam trains. I just love watching the mechanism going around. My, me and my daughter who's exhibiting engineering characteristics, shall we say. Love, we love going to the railway museum and running around 'cause you can go and touch the trains, you can get on them, you can get your hands greasy if you want to, if you touch the wrong bit of it. She loves seeing them. And they're just, so when these engineers designed all these big bits of metal, they didn't have FEA or CAD or anything. They just sort of took a guess at the curves and how it should look. And some of these parts they designed are so beautiful when you start looking at them, it just makes me smile, like there was a person, a man, we'll have to say a man, right, 'cause it was 200 years ago... [00:33:44] Lindsey Dinneen: Right. [00:33:44] Stuart Grant: A engineer who decided he was gonna make it like that out of wood. And they were cast into iron and they just they were just sitting in their shop and just did what they thought was right. And most of the time it didn't break. [00:34:00] Lindsey Dinneen: Most of the time. There you go. Yeah. That's great. I love that. Well this has really been a fantastic conversation. I'm so grateful for you joining me today and sharing just some of your history and you know, what you're looking forward to next. I think it's, I think it's really incredible when you get to combine all the different things, like you said. You've got sort of that design and problem solving and you've got the engineering and you've got all these cool things that just make you an incredible help to the MedTech industry. And we're excited to be making a donation on your behalf, as a thank you for your time today, to Sleep in Heavenly Peace, which provides beds for children who don't have any in the United States. So thank you for choosing that charity to support. Thanks for joining and thanks for everything you're doing to change lives for a better world. [00:34:52] Stuart Grant: Yeah, thanks, Lindsey. It's been a real pleasure talking to you. [00:34:55] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah, absolutely. Thank you again. [00:35:00] Dan Purvis: The Leading Difference is brought to you by Velentium Medical.

La guerra entra in classe. A Gerusalemme Est con le uniformi, a Ramallah con le gomme da cancellare. Il 4 febbraio Israel Hayom ha anticipato un progetto del Home Front Command: riservisti arabofoni, in divisa, dentro una scuola pilota palestinese per lezioni di “emergency awareness”. Avvio a maggio, coordinamento con municipio e comitati dei genitori. The New Arab ha ripreso la notizia. L'esercito spiega che è educazione civile. L'immagine è un soldato davanti a un banco. Nelle stesse settimane, documenti diffusi da Quds parlano di una lettera del 19 gennaio 2026 del ministro dell'Istruzione Amjad Barham al ministro delle Finanze e di un incontro del 27 gennaio con funzionari europei: richieste di modifiche ai manuali, dalla prima alla decima classe. Rimozioni e sostituzioni: l'inno nazionale in prima, riferimenti ai prigionieri, formule su Gerusalemme, mappe, termini storici. Palestine Chronicle e MEMRI rilanciano. Bruxelles, nei testi pubblici sugli aiuti, parla di riforme e condizionalità, senza elenchi di pagine. Intanto Gaza continua a contare. Fonti mediche palestinesi parlano di centinaia di vittime dopo l'entrata in vigore del cessate il fuoco indicata a ottobre; i numeri restano senza verifica indipendente e senza distinzione tra civili e miliziani. L'Unicef segnala 37 bambini uccisi dall'inizio del 2026. Un ospedale diventa campo di contesa. Medici senza frontiere interrompe attività al Nasser di Khan Younis dopo segnalazioni di uomini armati nell'edificio; la direzione respinge e chiede di ritrattare. La neutralità si discute in corsia. Uniformi tra i banchi, parole che spariscono dai libri, corsie che si svuotano. La battaglia per Gaza si gioca anche qui: chi insegna, cosa si può dire, quali mappe restano appese. La pace viene pronunciata nei comunicati. La guerra decide il lessico. #LaSveglia per La NotiziaDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/la-sveglia-di-giulio-cavalli--3269492/support.

Florence, 1563. Forbidden from practicing her herbal cures in Venice, the young noblewoman Bianca Capello flees to Florence, where the ruling Medici family practices alchemy. There, she wins herself an invitation to their palace, and, as well as a path to duke regent Francesco's bed. The impassioned bond between Francesco de Medici and Bianca is at the core of this fact-driven dive into medicine, politics, love, and ultimately death in Renaissance Florence. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

Greg Jenner is joined in 17th-century France by Dr Jonathan Spangler and comedian Tom Allen to learn all about Philippe, Duc d'Orléans, Louis XIV's younger brother. King Louis XIV is one of the most famous monarchs in French history: the man who built and presided over the glittering court at Versailles, established himself as an absolute ruler, and whose 72-year reign is still the longest in European history. But what about his younger brother, Philippe? Who was the man who grew up and lived in the shadow of the Sun King? Raised to defer to his brother at all costs, his promising military career was cut short when it seemed like he might outshine Louis. When all eyes were on him as heir to the throne, he would wear dresses to provoke shock at courtly balls. He balanced his marriage to his witty German wife, Liselotte, with a decades-long relationship with his aristocratic male lover, the Chevalier de Lorraine – and other men of the court. And he maintained an image as a louche and irresponsible courtier while increasing his personal wealth through clever financial management. This episode explores the complexities and contradictions of Philippe's life, and examines the difficult position of second sons in royal history.If you're a fan of royal sibling rivalries, the gossip and glamour of the French court, and queer history, you'll love our episode on Philippe, Duc d'Orléans.If you want more fascinating French royals, listen to our episodes on Catherine de Medici and Marie Antoinette.

Firenze, aprile 1478 – È una domenica di primavera quando, durante la Messa solenne nel cuore della Cattedrale, la storia cambia volto. Due giovani rampolli della famiglia Medici, Lorenzo e Giuliano, sono il bersaglio di un agguato spietato orchestrato da rivali potenti: i Pazzi. Giuliano morirà sotto decine di colpi, mentre Lorenzo riuscirà a salvarsi e darà il via a una delle vendette più implacabili del Rinascimento. Dietro questa congiura non ci sono solo interessi familiari, ma anche ambizioni papali, banche, guerre e alleanze oscure. Ma perché Firenze, culla dell'arte e del pensiero, fu anche teatro di una violenza così feroce? Che ruolo ebbero la Chiesa e il popolo? E in che modo Lorenzo il Magnifico riuscì a trasformare un attentato in un trionfo politico?

Una carenza cronica di personale sanitario qualificato ha spinto il Governo di Downing Street ad assumere medici base che lavoreranno solo da remoto. Una scelta che ha fatto molto discutere oltremanica, tanto che alcuni si sono chiesti se sia una strada percorribile anche per il sistema sanitario italiano. Proviamo a dare una risposta insieme al medico Pierluigi Struzzo, che per anni ha lavorato nelle corsie degli ospedali inglesi.

A pesar de las pruebas por las que han tenido que pasar, son muy felices; y a pesar de ser muy pobres, sus ofrendas han sido tan generosas como si fueran ricos» (2 Corintios 8: 1-2).Algunas especialidades, como el arte, estarían muertas de no ser por el generoso apoyo de otros. Históricamente, ese rol se lo debemos a Gayo Cilnio Mecenas (70 a. C. a 8 a. C.), un político y consejero del emperador Augusto en la antigua Roma.Mecenas desempeñó un papel importante en la política romana, actuando como consejero de Augusto y ayudando mantener la estabilidad del régimen. Fue también un hábil diplomático y negociador, y se le atribuye haber contribuido a la expansión del imperio romano a través de acuerdos políticos y alianzas. Mecenas es recordado como uno de los personajes más influyentes y emblemáticos de la época de Augusto, y su nombre se ha convertido en sinónimo de mecenazgo cultural y apoyo a las artes en la historia de Roma.Mecenas llegó a ser conocido por su generosidad y por ser un patrocinador de las artes y la literatura. Patrocinó a numerosos escritores, poetas y artistas de la época, entre ellos Virgilio, Horacio, Ovidio y Propercio, contribuyendo así al florecimiento cultural y artístico de Roma.Gracias a Mecenas, se creó un rol en la sociedad que se conoce precisamente por el nombre de este caballero: ser un mecenas. Un mecenas es una persona que brinda apoyo financiero y estímulo a diversos campos. La palabra mecenas ha llegado a significar «patrocinio» o «filantropía».Lorenzo de' Medici fue un influyente mecenas del Renacimiento italiano, conocido por su apoyo a artistas como Leonardo da Vinci, Miguel Ángel y Botticelli. La reina Isabel I de Inglaterra apoyó a artistas del campo de la literatura y del teatro, y a escritores como William Shakespeare y Christopher Marlowe. Johann Sebastian Bach contó con el apoyo del príncipe Leopold de Anhalt-Köthen y Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart tuvo apoyo del emperador José II de Austria y el barón Gottfried van Swieten.Cuando alguna causa digna requiere apoyo, los que tienen recursos e influencia pueden venir al rescate. Gracias a personas como ellas, otros han podido preservar su arte o sus ideas para beneficio de muchos. Aunque deseable, no necesitamos invertir recursos financieros cuando se trate de apoyar causas dignas. Será notable que haya proyectos u organizaciones cuyas metas son buenas y se verían ayudadas con lo que podamos dar o hacer. Si miramos a nuestro alrededor, no tardaremos mucho en hallar alguna de esas dignas causas. 

"Around the middle of the fifteenth century, not so long after the first written references in Europe to cards of any kind, an artist named Bonifacio Bembo painted a set of unnamed and unnumbered cards for the Visconti family of Milan", Origins of Tarot, Seventy Eight Degrees of Wisdom: A Tarot Journey to Self Awareness by Rachel Pollack Did you know that the roots of tarot have their beginnings in the north of Italy at the height of the Renaissance. The first playing cards emerged in the courts of the noble Milanese families and became a popular card game for entertainment and play.The Visconti Sforza, Bolognese Tarochini and the Minchiate Tarot cards were commissioned by the aristocratic families to be hand painted and designed by expert artisans.  Played as a game called 'carte da trionfe' the tarot was purely a trick playing game in the height of the Renaissance. Today I discuss the Visconti and Sforza alliance in Milan, Cosimo de Medici patronising philosophers to transcribe the Corpus Hermeticum, the time of Renaissance Magic, the shift in art and philosophy, the move toward the mystical traditions and how the tarot eventually evolved into that of cartomancy, esoteric practice via secret societies and occult practitioners in England and France in the 18th and 19th centuries. To now be tethered to the mystery traditions and used as form of divination, fortune telling and spiritual practise. I also share a few personal revelations about the tarot system along the way. And lastly if you are in Italy it turns out there is some serendipity to this episode I discovered while writing my show-notes you can visit the Accademia Carrara in Bergamo (a quick train ride from beautiful Milano) for an exhibition that is on until June 2026, that covers the last seven hundred years of tarot.

The history of tiramisu, that beloved Italian dessert known for its layers of coffee-soaked ladyfingers, creamy mascarpone, and dusting of cocoa, is a tale woven from legend, culinary innovation, and a dash of controversy, much like the dessert itself which translates to "pick me up" or "cheer me up" in Italian, a nod to its invigorating blend of caffeine and sugar. While some romanticized accounts trace its roots back to the 17th or 18th century, suggesting inspirations from earlier treats like Zuppa Inglese—a layered English trifle adapted in Italy with custard, sponge, and liqueur—or even the rustic Sbatudin, a simple whipped egg yolk and sugar cream from mid-19th-century peasant kitchens in Treviso, the modern form of tiramisu as we recognize it today emerged far more recently, in the post-World War II era of northern Italy's Veneto and Friuli-Venezia Giulia regions. These ancestral desserts provided the foundational elements: the custard-like richness, the soaking of biscuits, and the energizing additions, but tiramisu's true genesis lies in the vibrant culinary scene of the 1960s and 1970s, when Italy was rebuilding and innovating in its kitchens. One of the most widely accepted origin stories points to the restaurant Le Beccherie in Treviso, where, on Christmas Eve 1969, pastry chef Roberto Linguanotto, collaborating with Alba di Pillo, the wife of owner Ado Campeol, accidentally created the dessert while experimenting with a vanilla ice cream recipe; Linguanotto reportedly dropped mascarpone into a bowl of beaten eggs and sugar, liked the result, and then incorporated coffee-dipped savoiardi biscuits and cocoa powder to form the layered delight that would soon grace their menu by 1972. This version emphasizes simplicity and fresh ingredients, eschewing heavy liqueurs in the original recipe, though later adaptations often include Marsala wine or coffee liqueur like Kahlua for added depth. However, competing claims muddy the waters: some assert it was born in the 1950s in Treviso's brothels, where clever madams served it as an aphrodisiac to energize clients, leveraging the stimulating properties of coffee and chocolate, while tales of a young mother sharing her post-childbirth restorative recipe with Le Beccherie's chefs circulate. Others push the timeline further back, crediting Mario Cosolo in Friuli-Venezia Giulia with a 1938 invention called Coppa Vetturino, a precursor featuring mascarpone and chocolate, or even an early 1900s dessert from Sacile that resembled a layered treat with similar components. There's also a Sienese legend from the 17th century, linking it to a visit by Grand Duke Cosimo the third de' Medici, though this seems more apocryphal, as no written records of tiramisu appear until the 1960s, with its first print mention in a 1981 Veneto cookbook and official recognition in dictionaries by 1983. Despite these debates, Treviso proudly claims tiramisu as its own, with the Accademia del Tiramisù founded to preserve its heritage, and in 2013, the Veneto region officially designated it as a traditional product, while Friuli stakes its claim through local festivals and historical assertions. The dessert's evolution accelerated in the 1970s as it spread beyond local eateries; by the 1980s, tiramisu had conquered international palates, particularly in the United States, where Italian immigrants and restaurateurs like Walter Potenza of homonymous Walters, and Lidia Bastianich introduced it at their restaurants in Providence and New York in 1981, sparking a craze that saw it featured in newspapers as an "obsession" by 1989, with variations popping up in San Francisco and beyond. This surge in popularity coincided with the global rise of Italian cuisine, fueled by media, cookbooks, and the dessert's approachable no-bake preparation, making it a staple in home kitchens worldwide.

For this month's episode of Magus we're finally discussing the life of the first Magus ever, Hermes Trismegistus!An ancient Egyptian sage written about by Cicero and early Christian church fathers, he is the literal reason why the magical practices of Hermeticism and Alchemy came into existence. He was still being referenced by the likes of Isaac Newton during the European Enlightenment, and his writings remain popular in esoteric and occult circles even today.Discovery of his existence came about in Italy, at the same time as other ancient writers, including Plato, were being translated into Latin for the very first time, prompting the whirlwind array of changes we call 'the Renaissance.'The man to whom the task fell specifically was Italian philosopher and Catholic priest Marsilio Ficino, who soon established a Neo-Platonic Academy attended by artists including Boticelli, Leonardo da Vinci and Raphael, their work all funded by Cosimo di Medici, the richest man in the world.Their collective project was to recover the past and remake it, all so mankind could reshape its physical existence through magic. Ficino's product was The Hermetica, an entire magical system based on philosophies of Matter and Spirit. It quickly became one of the most famous magic books in all of history, and for centuries the story of Hermes Trismegistus, his learning, wisdom, and magical system, were all beyond doubt.Only then along came a classical scholar and philologist called Isaac Casaubon, who had questions about some of the 'ancient Egyptian' vocabulary used in The Hermetica, which prompted others to wonder whether Hermes Trismegistus had ever existed at all...We really hope you enjoy the episode, and Eleanor will speak with you again on Saturday for this week's Local Legends episode all about Brecknockshire with the wonderful Horatio Clare!Three Ravens is an English Myth and Folklore podcast hosted by award-winning writers Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon.Released on Mondays, each weekly episode focuses on one of England's 39 historic counties, exploring the history, folklore and traditions of the area, from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and much, much more. Then, and most importantly, the pair take turns to tell a new version of an ancient story from that county - all before discussing what that tale might mean, where it might have come from, and the truths it reveals about England's hidden past...Bonus Episodes are released on Thursdays plus Local Legends episodes on Saturdays - interviews with acclaimed authors, folklorists, podcasters and historians with unique perspectives on that week's county.With a range of exclusive content on Patreon, too, including audio ghost tours, the Three Ravens Newsletter, and monthly Three Ravens Film Club episodes about folk horror films from across the decades, why not join us around the campfire and listen in?Learn more at www.threeravenspodcast.com, join our Patreon at www.patreon.com/threeravenspodcast, and find links to our social media channels here: https://linktr.ee/threeravenspodcastREGISTER FOR THE TALES OF SOUTHERN ENGLAND TOURProud members of the Dark Cast Network.Visit our website Join our Patreon Social media channels and sponsors Hosted on Acast.

The Medici are remembered as enlightened patrons of art—the family behind Michelangelo, Botticelli, and the Renaissance itself.That version of history is incomplete.In this episode of Hidden Forces in History, we strip away the marble and mythology to examine Medici family as they actually were: a private banking dynasty that embedded itself inside moral authority, captured a republic without abolishing it, and rewrote its legacy through art, architecture, and storytelling.We follow the money—from Florentine ledgers to the Vatican—showing how the Medici:• Plugged into Church finance to gain leverage across Europe• Used patronage as a form of long-term propaganda• Helped trigger the Reformation through indulgence financing• Lost their bank—but preserved their legendThis isn't just a Renaissance story.It's a repeatable playbook—one still used by modern elites, foundations, and institutions today.Same system.Different century.

Anna Maria Luisa, the last representative of the main branch of the Medici, saves her family's legacy through an innovative agreement. Also we survey Tuscany's post-Medici future and the branches of the family that survived into the 21st century.

In this episode of History's Mysteries, we're diving into one of the bloodiest and most debated events in early modern Europe: the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre. Thousands of French Protestants were brutally murdered in August 1572, after what was supposed to be a royal wedding that symbolized peace. Historians have argued for centuries about who was responsible — and today, we're asking the big question: Did Catherine de Medici order it? This episode blends historical analysis, feminist storytelling, and intuitive tarot reading to look at Catherine de Medici not as a caricature, but as a complex political operator navigating power, survival, and legacy in a brutal era.

Is capitalism a force of nature, or a human-made order that we have the power to shape? In this episode, Luigi and Bethany sit down with Sven Beckert, a Harvard historian and author of the new book A Global History of Capitalism, to tackle a question that seems basic but remains surprisingly difficult to answer: what exactly is capitalism?Beckert argues that capitalism is not defined simply by the existence of markets—which are found in all human societies—but rather by a specific economic logic of privately owned capital productively invested to produce more capital. He challenges the popular narrative that capitalism and the state are antithetical, suggesting instead that the state has been constitutive of capitalism throughout its history, from the colonization of the Americas to the industrial expansion of the 19th century.Beckert also argues that capitalism is fundamentally "undogmatic", pointing out that it has thrived under radically different political systems from the British Empire and the slave plantations of the Caribbean to modern liberal democracies and authoritarian city-states. Rather than existing in opposition to the state, does capitalism actually rely on state power to construct markets and enforce the expansion of its logic?  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Step into Tudor England at its bloodiest and most unhinged, where monarchs changed religions on a whim and the price of disagreeing with the crown was burning alive. In this episode, we unravel the real story behind Mary I—“Bloody Mary”—and the Oxford Martyrs whose deaths became political theater. But to understand why Protestants and Catholics were so violently at odds, we go back even further: the Medici, Martin Luther, a warrior pope and a rant that changed the world. This is a story of fire, faith, and rebellion, so you love messy history, morally gray heroes, and the way centuries-old scandals still shape modern identity and politics, this episode is your new obsession.And if you want more deep dives, feminine power lessons, and weekly transformation, join The Shallontourage—my global girl gang for confidence, strategy, and seduction.
