Chris Cooper interviews Professor Akira Murakami from Birmingham University. lostincitations@gmail.com

When a parent leads with intention, children begin to see the world through a lens of appreciation rather than scarcity. A simple gratitude rhythm can transform daily routines, soften challenges, and help everyone notice the good that often goes overlooked. With just a few minutes of mindful attention each day, the entire household can develop a habit that nurtures resilience, empathy, and joy.Key TakeawaysGratitude becomes easier when it's woven into everyday moments. Small, consistent rituals make the practice feel natural and sustainable.Children learn gratitude by watching how you respond to life. Modelling appreciation teaches them to recognise positive moments even on hard days.A gratitude habit strengthens emotional bonds. Sharing meaningful reflections helps each family member feel seen, valued, and connected.CONNECT ON SOCIAL MEDIA ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Ig- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/drdunni.lifecoach/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9C1oJwHyISEuqiX8USaYKg⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CH- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.clubhouse.com/@drdunni-druwa⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FB- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/druwaacademy⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/drdunni⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://patreon.com/wellbeing4mothers⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ HOST BIOYour host, Dr Dunni, is the award-winning mum empowerment coach, Family doctor, International speaker, Best-selling author of the book ‘Every Mum is a Super Mum' and a mum herself who is passionate about health and wellbeing.

An important critic of modern culture, American economist Thorstein Veblen is best known for the concept of “conspicuous consumption,” the ostentatious display of goods in the service of social status. In the field of architectural history, scholars have employed Veblen in support of a wide range of arguments about modern architecture, but never has he attracted a comprehensive and critical treatment from the viewpoint of architectural history. In Barbarian Architecture: Thorstein Veblen's Chicago (MIT Press, 2024), Joanna Merwood-Salisbury corrects this omission by reexamining Veblen's famous book as an original theory of modernity and situating it in a particular place and time—Chicago in the 1890s. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, she explores Veblen's position in relation to debates about industrial reform and aesthetics in Chicago during the period 1890–1906. Bolstered by a strong visual narrative made possible by several of Chicago's historic photographic collections, Barbarian Architecture makes a compelling and original argument for the influence of Veblen's home city on his work and ideas. This interview was conducted by Matthew Wells, Senior Lecturer in Architectural Studies at the University of Manchester. His research explores nineteenth-century architecture, focusing on cultural techniques, technology, and political economy.

The world record for fastest pit stop—a mere 1.8 seconds—was set by the McLaren F1 Team at the Qatar Grand Prix in 2023. It's an incredible feat of speed and choreography; a pit stop that fast can't happen without a team of people operating at peak human performance. But as Dan Keyworth explains, AI plays a crucial role, too. As the Director of Business Technology at McLaren Racing, Dan is responsible for helping the whole team perform at their best—and that starts with having the right tools. Whether it's the firehose of sensor data coming off a race car, video analysis of the pit crew in action, or marketing analytics for the next Grand Prix, AI helps the McLaren F1 Team make the right decisions—and make them fast.On this episode, Dan talks about the importance of getting simple answers from complex data, how they use Dropbox Dash, and why we shouldn't think of AI as labor replacement so much as laborious replacement.You can learn more about the McLaren F1 Team at mclaren.com/racing/formula-1.

You are blue, and are surrounded by other blue people: swirling together in a dot, identical and indistinguishable. From somewhere above you hear the ticking of a clock, and suddenly find yourself and some of your fellows pulled upwards, sucked through a tube arcing high above... Intrigued? That is a description of one of Jess Enright's adventures in her mathematical models. This is an exciting new approach that researchers are using to invite people into the worlds of their models, both to communicate their research to the people outside of academia, but also for the researchers themselves to reflect on what aspects of reality these models actually do, and don't, describe. These adventures in model land build on the work of Erica Thompson in her book, Escape from Model Land: how mathematical models can lead us astray and what we can do about it. Any mathematical description of a process in the world around us is a mathematical model: whether it's describing the processes in our climate, the spread of a disease through a population or the movement of water across a landscape. They are incredibly useful and key to research in modern mathematics and science. But these mathematical models are, by necessity, simplifications of the real world. Erica's book inspired geoscientist Chris Skinner to use principles of role-playing games to explore and communicate mathematical models. And this approach was a perfect fit with Jess' experience building board games to communicate her research - we event get to play some in this podcast at the huge UK Games Expo in Birmingham earlier this year! Jess Enright, along with Emma Gort, in action at the UK Games Expo in Birmingham earlier in 2025. (Photo: Rachel Thomas) In this podcast we talk to Jess (a reader in the school of Computing Science at the University of Glasgow and member of the JUNIPER partnership of disease modellers from across the UK), Chris (an independent geoscientist and researcher and a visiting fellow at York St John University)and Erica (Associate Professor of Modelling for Decision Making at University College, London) about their explorations of these ideas. You can find out more information about the ideas discussed in the podcast here: Maths in a Minute: Mathematical model – a brief and an accessible introduction to mathematical models and where they are used. Escape from Model Land: how mathematical models can lead us astray and what we can do about it – Erica's book Adventures in Model Land– the framework, developed by Chris, Erica and Jess, together with Liz Lewis, Rolf Hut and Sam Illingworth, for exploring mathematical models using table-top role-play games You can find some of the adventures in model land and other games that Jess took to the UK Games Expo in Birmingham This podcast is part of our collaboration with JUNIPER, the Joint UNIversity Pandemic and Epidemic Response modelling consortium. JUNIPER comprises academics from the universities of Cambridge, Warwick, Bristol, Exeter, Oxford, Manchester, and Lancaster, who are using a range of mathematical and statistical techniques to address pressing questions about the control of COVID-19.

The Barrack, 1572–1914: Chapters in the History of Emergency Architecture (Park Books, 2024) tells the little-known history of a building type that many people used to register as an alien interloper in conventionally built-up areas. The barrack is a mostly lightweight construction, a hybrid between shack, tent, and traditional building. It is a highly efficient structure that sometimes also proves to be extremely durable. Easy to erect and to take down, it is—after the introduction of railways and later motor vehicles in the late 19th and early 20th centuries—also easy to transplant from one location to another. Originating as a standardized accommodation in the late 16th century, the barrack became a mass-produced utility of military and civilian mobilization in the 19th century, providing immediate shelter for soldiers as well as for displaced persons, disaster victims, or prisoners. The barrack played a decisive role in shaping the political space of modernity. This interview was conducted by Matthew Wells, Senior Lecturer in Architectural Studies at the University of Manchester. His research explores nineteenth-century architecture, focusing on artistic techniques, technology, and political economy.

The Barrack, 1572–1914: Chapters in the History of Emergency Architecture (Park Books, 2024) tells the little-known history of a building type that many people used to register as an alien interloper in conventionally built-up areas. The barrack is a mostly lightweight construction, a hybrid between shack, tent, and traditional building. It is a highly efficient structure that sometimes also proves to be extremely durable. Easy to erect and to take down, it is—after the introduction of railways and later motor vehicles in the late 19th and early 20th centuries—also easy to transplant from one location to another. Originating as a standardized accommodation in the late 16th century, the barrack became a mass-produced utility of military and civilian mobilization in the 19th century, providing immediate shelter for soldiers as well as for displaced persons, disaster victims, or prisoners. The barrack played a decisive role in shaping the political space of modernity. This interview was conducted by Matthew Wells, Senior Lecturer in Architectural Studies at the University of Manchester. His research explores nineteenth-century architecture, focusing on artistic techniques, technology, and political economy.

Official modelling shows up to 150 people a week could be infected by measles if an outbreak takes hold. Health New Zealand says it can cope with 100 cases a week, but even that would stretch services. The Modelling by PHF Science - formerly ESR - estimated the most likely scenario would see cases peaking at around 100 a week, the same as in 2019. public health expert Dr Oz Mansoor.

In this special episode of the podcast, originally hosted by Indico Data's Unstructured Unlocked, Matthew Grant, CEO of InsTech, joins Tom Wilde and Michelle Gouveia to discuss how insurers are harnessing third-party data and AI to make more informed, efficient underwriting decisions. With over 25 years in catastrophe modelling and analytics, Matthew shares his view on where the real innovation is happening and where insurers are still facing friction. From the rising value of external data sources to the operational impact of generative AI, the conversation is packed with insights that go beyond the buzzwords. InsTech is sharing this episode to highlight the practical challenges and opportunities facing carriers and reinsurers as they modernise their approach to risk. What you'll learn Why many insurers still struggle to access the most basic risk data What third-party data needs to prove before it's trusted in underwriting How AI is changing both the speed and depth of catastrophe modelling When it makes sense for carriers to build proprietary models—and when it doesn't What reinsurers have taught the market about effective model use The quiet power of improving underwriting efficiency, not just accuracy How better data and analytics can help insurers write more risk with more confidence If you like what you're hearing, please leave us a review on whichever platform you use or contact Matthew Grant on LinkedIn.

The man who defined an era of male modelling reveals why he walked away from guaranteed money to build something bigger. After watching female models launch empires while male models remained stuck as "clothes hangers," he made a calculated bet: turn down the certain payday, take back ownership of his image, and build a business that would outlast his modelling career.Now, at the top of his game, he runs his own brand "Wellwear" which has seen enormous success over the last few years, and it's only on the rise.

Do you ever catch yourself reaching for your phone when you don't really need or want to, and wonder what that shows your kids? In this episode, Screenagers creator Dr. Delaney Ruston talks with two moms who decide it's time to make a change. They talk about the habits they want to shift and take on the One Small Change Challenge using a model called DARTS: Doable, Arrange for success, Reasons, Treats, and Support. Follow along as Delaney walks Tory and Hillary through setting their own goals, and try using this model to set yours too. We'd love to hear if you do, so send a note to delaney@screenagersmovie.com. It's an honest look at what happens when parents face their own phone habits and try something new.

We walk through what a powerful gold run means for real-world withdrawals, safe withdrawal rates, and the way diversified portfolios shoulder risk when the regime shifts. From the Golden Butterfly and Golden Ratio to return-stacked experiments, we review performance, drawdowns, and why structural diversification—equities, Treasuries, gold, real assets, and managed futures—often beats clever timing when you're spending from your nest egg.We also open the donor mailbag with sharp questions from listeners practicing monthly withdrawals ahead of retirement. Should you fund withdrawals from accumulated cash or trim recent winners? How much does trade timing matter at month-end? We share simple rules that reduce friction: let dividends build a cash buffer, sell strength back to targets, and rely on periodic rebalancing to correct small timing errors. For those using volatile tools like UPRO, TMF, or crypto, we explain why defined targets and a steady cadence matter more than chasing the “perfect” price.Futures curious? We touch on financing costs, collateral choices, and the risk realities of leverage, including why even elegant models must respect max drawdown. Along the way, we challenge the habit of erasing the 1970s from gold analysis and highlight how data-driven diversification can protect retirees from sequence risk. Whether you're simulating withdrawals or already living on your portfolio, you'll get practical tactics and a clearer lens for portfolio design.If this resonates, follow the show, leave a review, and share it with someone planning their retirement drawdown.

What are we still missing in catastrophe modelling and how can we close the gap? As part of InsTech's The Future of Catastrophe Risk: Where Science Meets Reality event, this expert panel explored the limitations of current catastrophe models and how the insurance industry can evolve its approach to risk. Hosted by Ludovico Nicotina (Inigo), with insights from Sandra Hansen (Guy Carpenter) and Paul Wilson (Twelve Securis), the discussion focused on where models fall short, how emerging risks are challenging traditional assumptions and what it will take to build more resilient, climate-aware modelling frameworks. In this conversation, the panel explores: What current models overlook — from unmodelled sub-perils to social and infrastructure vulnerabilities How inter-annual clustering and systemic effects drive outsized losses The tension between increasing model flexibility and responsible use of adaptation features Whether vendors are providing enough transparency to support custom views of risk How the industry can better incorporate future climate states into today's modelling tools The case for cross-sector collaboration and more open sharing of internal risk perspectives If you like what you're hearing, please leave us a review on whichever platform you use or contact Matthew Grant on LinkedIn.

The atmosphere of the emergency department can be a hard thing to put into words, with intense emotions washing over patients and staff alike. This month we feature a poem, powerfully illustrating the drama and stress inside the ED bubble. One of the recurring sources of uncertainty for patients is the question, “How long until I'm seen, doc?”, and there's a paper following up on that issue with a personalised approach. A framework that has been employed by NHS England, aimed at dealing with the problem, is Same Day Emergency Care (SDEC). The next paper finds there is a limited evidence on the impact of SDECs, as well as confusion around their definition. Another paper on the subject of patient flow shows that while digital solutions are promising, you can't replace a streaming nurse for critical decisions. To finish the episode is a 10-year retrospective review on the use of blood in paediatric trauma, drawing on the data of the Trauma Audit Research Network. Read the highlights: October 2025 primary survey Whose turn is it?

Lucinda is joined by allyship expert Julie Kratz, who discusses her research on why people with power often disengage from conversations about diversity and inclusion, feeling either "threatened" or "irrelevant."  Together they explore her latest book, which outlines a "use fear as fuel" strategy and introduces a framework for building allyship programs. Julie stresses that everyone has power and a social responsibility to champion inclusion, arguing that strong allyship is less about transactional "doing" and more about building meaningful relationships that lead to personal fulfilment, better team dynamics, and positive organisational change. KEY TAKEAWAYS Many people in positions of power, particularly white men, do not believe conversations about diversity and inclusion are meant to include them, often fuelled by fears of status loss, irrelevance, or the belief that allyship offers "all risk, no reward." Everyone has power, and the first step to becoming an effective ally is to build a strong "allyship why" rooted in the understanding that humans are a social species whose survival and happiness depend on collaboration and helping one another. Effective allyship involves moving beyond individual action to creating systemic change, which includes building highly customised allyship programs that focus on key behaviours like modeling and storytelling to make inclusive practices contagious. Organisations need to focus on building inclusive policies (e.g., caregiving leave, pay equity) and objective hiring and promotion processes to minimise bias, as people are often judged on potential (if they resemble current leadership) or actual performance (if they are different). BEST MOMENTS "The first step that I offer is really building your allyship why. Like why do you want to be helpful to other people?" "Power's not bad, it's what you do with it that matters. And so don't you want to be on the good side of history, like don't you want to be the one that's standing up to social issues, even if it doesn't impact you?" "The more you are look and act like the C-suite leader, that again is predominantly white male, the more you have proxy to power." "Modelling plus storytelling. So I can model the behaviour, and you could be like, 'Yeah, that's great for Julie, but that doesn't really work for me and my style.' But what if I told you a story in addition to that, that you could kind of see yourself in?"

The Architecture of the Wire explores the development of telecommunications infrastructure and its impact on the architectural and urban culture of the modern age—from poles, wires, and cables, to “micro-architectures,” such as the théâtrophone and the telephone booth. Starting with the intrepid worldwide infrastructures of the late nineteenth century, Carlotta Darò proposes a new history that explores the multiple links and crossroads of such technical “things” with architecture and art.Based on extensive research of North American company archives, and French institutional ones, and drawing on secondary literature in art and architectural history, media studies, and the history of technology, Darò examines the aesthetic implications of material objects that have forever changed our urban, rural, and domestic environments. This interview was conducted by Matthew Wells, Senior Lecturer in Architectural Studies at the University of Manchester. His research explores architecture in the long nineteenth century, focusing on artistic techniques, technology, and political economy.

In this episode, Professor Brian Launder (Professor at the University of Manchester and Fellow of the Royal Society and Royal Academy of Engineers) shares his remarkable journey through academia, detailing his early fascination with heat transfer, his transition to MIT, and his significant contributions to turbulence modeling and computational fluid dynamics (CFD). We touch upon the key role that Professor Brian Spalding had on his career as well as work that led to the breakthrough k-epilson turbulence model as well as the pioneering work on second-moment closure model. Prof Launder highlights the key role of collaborators and ex students such as Professors Hector Iacovides, Tim Craft, Bill Jones, Kemal Hanjalić and many more. He ends with advice for early-stage researchers and reflections on more than 50 years worth of academic research.Chapters00:30 Introduction05:00 Early Academic Journey10:06 Transition to MIT and Research Focus16:21 Return to Imperial College and Early Career21:06 Research Projects and PhD Students27:46 Development of the k-epilson model33:18 CHAM and Career Changes36:24 Move to UC Davis and New Research Directions44:05 Challenges and Opportunities in Research47:07 The Interview Experience51:14 Transition to Manchester University52:23 Research Innovations in Turbulence Modeling57:45 The Development of the TCL Model01:03:15 Nonlinear Eddy Viscosity Models01:05:58 Advanced Wall Functions and Their Applications01:10:09 Reflections on Career and Contributions01:15:49 Legacy and Impact on Turbulence ModelingTop Turbulence Modelling contributions (https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=Y3JbAK8AAAAJ&hl=en) 

In this episode, Matthew Grant sits down with Matthew Eagle, Head of Global Model Solutions and Advisory at Guy Carpenter, to explore how one of the industry's most respected voices sees the future of modelling, capital management and advisory in reinsurance. With three decades of experience, Matthew reflects on what's changed — and what hasn't — in how reinsurers view risk. From the early days of catastrophe models to today's generative AI agents and open modelling platforms, he shares how his team is helping insurers manage volatility, optimise capital and drive profitable growth. In this episode, Matthew shares: Why flood, wildfire and severe convective storm are the perils to watch — and model — more closely How generative AI is already reshaping pricing, underwriting and actuarial workflows What insurers need to know about build vs buy when it comes to new analytics tools How Guy Carpenter is scaling open-source tech through Oasis and data standardisation What skills are now essential for new analysts entering the industry How AI agents are being used to replicate complex actuarial decisions in seconds Why “good enough” modelling still matters, and where precision can be a false economy The link between terrorism modelling and gaming engines — and what it signals for future innovation If you like what you're hearing, please leave us a review on whichever platform you use or contact Richard Hartley or Matthew Grant on LinkedIn.

In this episode, hosts Tim and Keith finally realize their long-held dream of sitting down with their hero, the brilliant neuroscientist Professor Karl Friston. The conversation is a fascinating and mind-bending journey into Professor Friston's life's work, the Free Energy Principle, and what it reveals about life, intelligence, and consciousness itself.**SPONSORS**Gemini CLI is an open-source AI agent that brings the power of Gemini directly into your terminal - https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli--- Take the Prolific human data survey - https://www.prolific.com/humandatasurvey?utm_source=mlst and be the first to see the results and benchmark their practices against the wider community!---cyber•Fund https://cyber.fund/?utm_source=mlst is a founder-led investment firm accelerating the cybernetic economyOct SF conference - https://dagihouse.com/?utm_source=mlst - Joscha Bach keynoting(!) + OAI, Anthropic, NVDA,++Hiring a SF VC Principal: https://talent.cyber.fund/companies/cyber-fund-2/jobs/57674170-ai-investment-principal#content?utm_source=mlstSubmit investment deck: https://cyber.fund/contact?utm_source=mlst***They kick things off by looking back on the 20-year journey of the Free Energy Principle. Professor Friston explains it as a fundamental rule for survival: all living things, from a single cell to a human being, are constantly trying to make sense of the world and reduce unpredictability. It's this drive to minimize surprise that allows things to exist and maintain their structure.This leads to a bigger question: What does it truly mean to be "intelligent"? The group debates whether intelligence is everywhere, even in a virus or a plant, or if it requires a certain level of complexity. Professor Friston introduces the idea of different "kinds" of things, suggesting that creatures like us, who can model themselves and think about the future, possess a unique and "strange" kind of agency that sets us apart.From intelligence, the discussion naturally flows to the even trickier concept of consciousness. Is it the same as intelligence? Professor Friston argues they are different. He explains that consciousness might emerge from deep, layered self-awareness—not just acting, but understanding that you are the one causing your actions and thinking about your place in the world.They also explore intelligence at different sizes. Is a corporation intelligent? What about the entire planet? Professor Friston suggests there might be a "Goldilocks zone" for intelligence. It doesn't seem to exist at the super-tiny atomic level or at the massive scale of planets and solar systems, but thrives in the complex middle-ground where we live.Finally, they tackle one of the most pressing topics of our time: Can we build a truly conscious AI? Professor Friston shares his doubts about whether our current computers are capable of a feat like that. He suggests that genuine consciousness might require a different kind of "mortal" computation, where the machine's physical body and its "mind" are inseparable, much like in biological creatures.TRANSCRIPT:https://app.rescript.info/public/share/FZkF8BO7HMt9aFfu2_q69WGT_ZbYZ1VVkC6RtU3eeOITOC:00:00:00: Introduction & Retrospective on the Free Energy Principle00:09:34: Strange Particles, Agency, and Consciousness00:37:45: The Scale of Intelligence: From Viruses to the Biosphere01:01:35: Modelling, Boundaries, and Practical Application01:21:12: Conclusion

In this Craft of Fatherhood episode, host Ned Schaut challenges fathers to reflect deeply on a pivotal question: What are you modeling for your kids? Drawing from candid stories and personal struggles, Ned explores how the way we speak about others, show up in marriage, approach work, and set the tone at home creates a lasting picture for our children. He invites listeners to evaluate whether their actions align with the values they hope to pass on and ends with a powerful affirmation about identity and intentional fatherhood. This episode is a call to lead by example—because what we model matters more than what we say.Chapters:00:00:00 - Introduction: Welcome to the Craft of Fatherhood Podcast 00:00:20 - Central Question: What are you modeling for your kids? 00:00:47 - Personal Reflection: Modeling marriage for growing daughters 00:01:21 - Anecdote: How a parental divorce influenced a daughter's view on marriage 00:02:22 - Self-Reflection Point 1: The words you model in your home 00:02:50 - Self-Reflection Point 2: The example you set in your marriage 00:03:12 - Self-Reflection Point 3: How you model work and approachability 00:03:51 - Self-Reflection Point 4: The values you model in your home environment 00:04:11 - A challenge: How would your kids describe what you value? 00:04:50 - Affirmation Prompt: Who do you say that you are? 00:05:10 - A Father's Affirmation: I am here to listen, provide, protect, and care Links and Resources:Transform Your Body with Ned & RUK Fitness: RUK FitnessThis episode is sponsored by The Adventure of FatherhoodOrder The Adventure of Fatherhood children's book hereCheck out the TEDx----------Want to learn more about The Adventure of Fatherhood?https://www.adventureoffatherhood.com/https://www.rebelandcreate.com/Each week Ned sits down with a dad and asks him to open up his field notes and share with other men who find themselves on the Adventure of Fatherhood.
