Interview withMichael Walshe, Managing Director & CEO of MTM Critical MetalsSteve Ragiel, President of Flash Metals USAOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/mtm-critical-metals-asxmtm-revolutionary-tech-could-supply-us-critical-gallium-needs-by-2025-6590Recording date: 15th May 2025MTM Critical Metals (ASX:MTM) has positioned itself for near-term production with several significant developments that strengthen its investment case. The company has secured a pre-permitted brownfield site in Texas's industrial corridor that bypasses lengthy regulatory processes, enabling commercial production by the end of 2025. This 20,000-square-foot facility of 40-foot ceilings provides immediate operational capacity and room for expansion."We have a very rapidly deployable technology. We can be running here in 8 months. And that compares favorably with mines and other refineries that will take 3-5 years," noted Steve Rio, President of U.S. Operations, highlighting a key competitive advantage that has garnered strong government interest.MTM's proprietary flash heating technology combines electrical-based energy with specialized chemistry to recover high-value metals like gallium and germanium from electronic waste and production scrap. The process is approximately 90% more energy efficient than conventional smelting techniques and allows for selective recovery of specific metals with over 90% purity.The company has established a robust commercial foundation with long-term supply agreements for electronic waste that include penalties for non-supply—a crucial provision that underpins their economic model. Similar agreements for gallium and germanium processing are being finalized with minimum floor prices to protect against market manipulation.MTM's dual business model includes a build-own-operate approach for high-value materials and a warranty-based licensing system for mineral processing applications. This strategy allows them to focus capital on high-margin opportunities while generating additional revenue streams. Recent meetings in Washington DC have yielded strong support from congressional representatives, with officials requesting MTM identify additional sites across different U.S. regions to establish geographic diversity in domestic metal recovery capabilities.For investors, MTM represents an opportunity to gain exposure to critical minerals with a faster path to revenue than traditional mining operations. The company's protected supply chain, energy-efficient technology, and alignment with national security priorities create a compelling investment case in a sector of growing strategic importance. The year-end commissioning target serves as a key milestone that could validate their innovative approach and potentially catalyze significant value creation.View MTM Critical Metals' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/mtm-critical-metalsSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Episode Summary Afreenish Amir, Ph.D., Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) Project Director at the National Institute of Health in Pakistan, highlights significant increases in extensively drug-resistant typhoid and cholera cases in Pakistan and discusses local factors driving AMR in Asia. She describes the development and implementation of a National Action Plan to combat AMR in a developing country, emphasizing the importance of rational antimicrobial use, surveillance and infection control practice. Ashley's Biggest Takeaways AMR is a global and One Health issue. Pakistan has a huge disease burden of AMR. Contributing factors include, but are not limited to, overcrowding, lack of infection control practices, poor waste management practices and over-the-counter prescription practices. Promoting the rational use of antimicrobials is imperative at all levels—from tertiary care to primary care practitioners. Typhoid and cholera are high-burden infections in Pakistan, with typhoid being a year-round issue and cholera being seasonal. A holistic approach, involving various sectors and disciplines, is necessary in order to address the global AMR threat. Amir highlights the need for better communication and collaboration to bridge gaps and build trust between different organizations. Featured Quotes: I've been working at the National Institutes of Health for the last 7 years now. So, I've been engaged in the development and the implementation of the national action plan on AMR, and that gave me the opportunity to explore the work in the field of antimicrobial resistance. Reality of AMR in Pakistan [Pakistan] is an LMIC, and we have a huge disease burden of antimicrobial resistance in the country right now. A few years back, there was a situational analysis conducted, and that has shown that there is presence of a large number of resistant pathogens within the country. And National Institutes of Health, they have started a very standardized surveillance program based upon the global antimicrobial use and surveillance system back in 2017. And [those datasets have] generated good evidence about the basic statistics of AMR within the country. So, for example, if I talk about the extensively drug-resistant typhoid, typhoid is very much prevalent in the country. Our data shows that in 2017 there were 18% MDR typhoid cases through the surveillance data. And in 2021 it was like 60%. So that has shown that how the resistance has increased a lot. A number of challenges are associated with this kind of a thing, overcrowded hospitals, poor infection prevention and control (IPC) measures. So, there is AMR within the country—there's a huge burden—and we are trying to look for the better solutions.  Local Factors Driving AMR Bacteria, they do not know the borders. We have a close connection with the other Asian countries, and we have a long border connected with the 2 big countries, which are Afghanistan and India and Bangladesh and China. So, we see that it's not limited to 1 area. It's not regional. It's also a history of travel. When the people travel from one area to the other, they carry the pathogen as a colonizer or as a carrier, and they can infect [other] people. So, it's really connected, and it's really alarming as well. You never know how the disease is transmitted, and we have the biggest example of COVID—how things have spread from 1 country to the other, and how it has resulted in a massive pandemic. AMR is similar. We have seen that it's not limited to 1 region. We are part of this global community, and we are contributing somehow to the problem. First, I'll talk about the health care infrastructure. We do have the capacities in the hospitals, but still, there's a huge population. Pakistan is a thickly populated country. It's a population of around 241 million. And with the increasing population, we see that the infrastructure has not developed this much. So now the existing hospitals are overcrowded, and this has led to poor infection control practices within the hospitals. The staff is not there. In fact, ID consultants are not available in all the hospitals. Infection control nurses are not available in all the hospitals. So, this is one of the main areas that we see, that there is a big challenge. The other thing that can contribute is the poor waste management practices. Some of the hospitals—private and public sectors—they are following the waste management guidelines—even the laboratories. But many of the hospitals are not following the guidelines. And you know that AMR is under one health. So, whatever waste comes from the hospital eventually goes to the environment, and then from there to the animal sector and to the human sector. [Another big] problem that we are seeing is the over-the-counter prescription of antimicrobials. There is no regulation available in the country right now to control the over-the-counter prescription of antibiotics. They are easily available. People are taking the antibiotics without a prescription from the doctors, and the pharmacist is giving the patients any kind of medicine. And either it is effective/not effective, it's a falsified, low-quality antibiotic for how long in duration antibiotic should be taken. So, there are multiple of things or reasons that we see behind this issue of AMR. Rational Use of Antimicrobials It is a complex process how we manage this thing, but what we are closely looking at in the country right now is that we promote the rational use of antimicrobials at all levels—not only at the tertiary care levels, but also at the general practitioner level. They are the first point of contact for the patients, with the doctors, with the clinicians. So, at this point, I think the empirical treatment needs to be defined, and they need to understand the importance of this, their local antibiograms, what are the local trends? What are the patterns? And they need to prescribe according to those patterns. And very recently, the AWaRE classification of WHO, that is a big, big support in identifying the rational use of antimicrobials—Access, Watch and Reserve list—that should be propagated and that should be understood by all the general practitioners. And again, I must say that it's all connected with the regulations. There should be close monitoring of all the antibiotic prescriptions, and that can help to control the issue of AMR. National Action Plan on AMR So, when I joined NIH, the National Election plan had already been developed. It was back in 2017, and we have a good senior hierarchy who has been working on it very closely for a long period of time. So, the Global Action Plan on AMR, that has been our guiding document for the development of the national action plan on AMR, and we are following the 5 strategic objectives proposed in the global action plan. The five areas included: The promotion of advocacy and awareness in the community and health care professionals. To generate evidence through the data, through the surveillance systems. Generation of support toward infection prevention and control services IPC. Promoting the use of antimicrobials both in the human sector and the animal sector, but under the concept of stewardship, antimicrobial consumption and utilization. Invest in the research and vaccine and development. So, these are some of the guiding principles for us to develop the National Action Plan, and it has already been developed. And it's a very comprehensive approach, I must say. And our institute has started working on it, basically towards recreating awareness and advocacy. And we have been successful in creating advocacy and awareness at a mass level. Surveillance We have a network of Sentinel surveillance laboratories engaged with us, and they are sharing the data with NIH on a regular basis, and this is helping NIH to understand the basic trends on AMR and what is happening. And eventually we plan to go towards this case-based surveillance as well, but this is definitely going to take some time because to make people understand the importance of surveillance, this is the first thing. And very recently, the Institute and country has started working towards the hospital acquired infection surveillance as well. So, this is a much-needed approach, because the lab and the hospital go hand in hand, like whatever is happening in the lab, they eventually reach the patients who are in the hospitals. Wastewater surveillance is the key. You are very right. Our institute has done some of the work toward typhoid and cholera wastewater surveillance, and we were trying to identify the sources where we are getting these kinds of pathogens. These are all enteric pathogens. They are the key source for the infection. And for the wastewater surveillance mechanism, we can say that we have to engage multiple stakeholders in this development process. It's not only the laboratory people at NIH, but we need to have a good epidemiologist. We need to have all the water agencies, like the public health engineering departments, the PCRWR, the environmental protection agencies who are working with all these wastewater sites. So, we need to connect with them to make a good platform and to make this program in a more robust fashion. Pathogens and Disease Burdon For cholera and typhoid within Pakistan, I must say these are the high burden infections or diseases that we are seeing. For typhoid, the burden is quite high. We have seen a transition from the multidrug-resistant pathogens to the extensively drug-resistant pathogens, which now we are left with only azithromycin and the carbapenems. So, the burden is high. And when we talk about cholera, it is present in the country, but many of the times it is seasonal. It comes in during the time of the small zone rains and during the time of floods. So, every year, during this time, there are certain outbreaks that we have seen in different areas of the country. So, both diseases are there, but typhoid is like all year long—we see number of cases coming up—and for cholera, it's mainly seasonal. Capacity Building and ASM's Global Public Health Programs Capacity building is a key to everything, I must say, [whether] you talk about the training or development of materials. I've been engaged with ASM for quite some time. I worked to develop a [One Health] poster in the local language to create awareness about zoonotic diseases. So, we have targeted the 6 zoonotic diseases, including the anthrax, including the Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever and influenza. And we have generated a very user-friendly kind of layout in the local language, trying to teach people about the source of transmission. What are the routes of transmission, if we talk about the CCHF? And then how this can be prevented. So, this was one approach. And then I was engaged with the development of the Learnamr.com. This is online platform with 15 different e-modules within it, and we have covered different aspects—talking about the basic bacteriology toward the advanced, standardized methods, and we have talked about the national and global strategies [to combat] AMR, One Health aspects of AMR, vaccines. So, it's a huge platform, and I'm really thankful to ASM for supporting the program for development. And it's an online module. I have seen that there are around more than 500 subscribers to this program right now, and people are learning, and they are giving good feedback to the program as well. We keep on improving ourselves, but the good thing is that people are learning, and they are able to understand the basic concepts on AMR.

What can we learn from one of the most complex AI projects in any museum today?  What is the history of AI in museums? Can we add AI to our experiences without a complete renovation? How do you teach an AI about 775 different football teams? How can AI put visitors literally into a story? Is AI accurate enough for a museum? What about bias? Doesn't AI take away jobs? And how do you specify exactly what shade of college football orange you want to an AI — if you can only use words? Kimberly Beaudin (CEO, College Football Hall of Fame) and Geoff Thatcher (Founder & Chief Creative Officer, Creative Principals) discuss “A Museum Transformed with AI” with host Jonathan Alger (Managing Partner, C&G Partners | The Exhibition and Experience Design Studio). Along the way: Hypercinema, Salvador Dalí, and net promoter scores.

Manuel Martinez Garcia, Ph.D., a professor of microbiology in the Physiology, Genetics and Microbiology Department at the University of Alicante in Spain, paints a picture of what microbial life looked like thousands of years ago by analyzing microbial genomic signatures within ice cores collected from the Antarctic ice shelves in the 1990s.  Links for the Episode  New avenues for potentially seeking microbial responses to climate change beneath Antarctic ice shelves – mSphere paper.  Viruses under the Antarctic Ice Shelf are active and potentially involved in global nutrient cycles – Nature communications article.  Manuel Martinez Garcia's Lab website.  How stable is the West Antarctic Ice Shelf? – Press Release from Alfred Wegener Institute. Take the MTM listener survey! Watch this episode: https://youtu.be/CHCMO74_gIY Ashley's Biggest Takeaways There is a unique habitat beneath Antarctic ice shelves, where microbes live without light and rely on unusual energy sources.  Ice cores from these Antarctic ice shelves can preserve fossilized genomic records of microbial life from long ago.  Comparing past and present samples can help us understand how microbial life is responding to environmental stressors, like temperature changes and acidification, over time. It can also provide key insights to changes in biodiversity. Featured Quotes:  Motivation for the Research Ice shelves are like massive floating ice that are in Antarctica, mainly. They can be as big as, for example, France, the country. So, they are super big—they are enormous. And they can be as thick as, let's say, 1000 meters. So, this is a massive [piece of] ice that we have in our planet.   And beneath that massive ice, we can have a very peculiar and a special habitat in which microbes live without light. They have to manage, to thrive and reproduce, without using a standard energy like we have on the surface of the sea or in the forest, where we have light that is driving and providing the energy for the ecosystem. But in this case, these ecosystems are totally different.  [The ice shelves] are deep and interconnected. Basically, there are different oceanic currents, for example, there is one Circumpolar Current that surrounds Antarctica, and there are also other currents that basically go from the bottom to the surface, moving, you know, all the water masses.  The interesting part of this story is that every single second in our lives, this sea that is beneath the platform, the ice shelf, is frozen over and over, and then we have different layers of antiquity that preserve the microbes that are living in the ocean. So, for example, let's say, 1000 years ago, the sea water was frozen, and then we can find a layer beneath the Antarctica ice shelf, where these microbes are preserved and frozen. Basically, it's like a record—a library of microbes, fossil records of microbes—from the past ocean, from 1000 years ago until present, more or less.  And then we can go to these records, to these layers of frozen sea water, and pick these samples to somehow recover the genetic material of the microbes that were preserved and frozen 1000 years ago or 500 years ago, in the way that we can somehow reconstruct or build the genetic story of the microbes from the past, for example, pre-industrial revolution to present.  We need to think that microbes sustain the rest of the food web. So, they sustain of the rest of life in the ocean. They provide carbon for the rest of organisms, the fishes, whales [and other] big animals that we have in our oceans. And if the microbes are responding in a way that is not satisfactory, or in the way that we think can maintain the food web, this is kind of scary. And this is what we are trying to do: we are trying to go back to the past and see how the microbes are changing [genetically].  Sample Collection We didn't collect the samples. [They were collected] back in the 90s, so, 40 years ago, by a German group led by the Alfred Wegener Institute, which is probably one of the most famous polar institutes in the world. They, basically, led an expedition, I think it was in 92, and they decided to go to this ice shelf in Antarctica, in the Filchner–Ronne Ice Shelf to collect these ice cores.   And then the surprise was when they were progressing in the drilling, they realized that on the top part of the ice core was fresh water, meteoric snow that was compacted forming the ice. But they realized that below that part, there was a sea water that was frozen. And then they thought that these samples were very interesting, because they somehow store material from the past, and they shipped these samples to Alfred Werner Institute in Bremerhaven in Germany.   And half of the samples were stored for 40 years until I decided to contact the Institute and to propose this research. And I basically contacted the director of the Institute, and also the group of Frank Wilhelm, to propose the idea. And basically, I said, ‘Hey, I think what you have in your research is a valuable material that that can provide interesting answers for climate change and microbiology.' And they say, ‘Well, that's interesting. And we never thought about that.' And then we started a collaboration to dig into these questions.  Shipping the Ice Cores We had a meeting after one of the first pandemic lockdowns, when they allow [me] to travel. I went to Bremerhaven to have a personal meeting with the team. And we decided to ship some samples to Spain.   They arrived frozen and very well packaged and preserved in an isolated container. But it was really surprising to see that that they were delivered in the same compartment with a dry ham. That was a that was a funny story!  Sample Preparation When we received the samples, the first thing was to basically decontaminate the surface of the [ice]. Because when you unpackage, you have an ice core, pieces like a half meter. And then, we have to think that this ice core has been manipulated by different groups, different people. And you have to decontaminate the surface of the ice core in order to just have the center of the ice core for the for the investigation.  And basically, we adapted a protocol in order to make sure that we didn't have cross contamination from the rest of the from the surface.  So, what we did was we melted the center of the core—well, in fact, different parts of the core with different ages, from 1000 years old to 200 years old—and we melted in a very dedicated laminar flow hood that we have in a clean room. And then, we extracted the DNA from that piece. And in our case, the amount of DNA was so little that we had to amplify with some molecular techniques in order to have [enough] copies of this genetic material to do sequencing.  Sample Analysis I will say that we are in the middle of the project. We had, like, 2 years ongoing for the project.  The most surprising was 2 things. One, in the sea water, beneath the Antarctic, we discovered a very autoctonos (indigenous) viral community that was quite different from the rest of the world, I will say, from the rest of the ocean. So, I think this viral community is quite adapted to infect the microbes that are living in this peculiar environment beneath the Antarctica ice shelf.  And these viruses were carrying some genes that we think are very important for microbes. We call these genes auxiliary metabolic genes. And these genes are very important because somehow the viruses provide these pieces of information, of DNA material, to microbes that are driving important ecological roles, like, for example, carbon fixation.  It's very important, because carbon fixation is probably the primary step in all ecosystems—to provide food for the rest of the organisms. And if this is altering, or we are altering it with different factors—like temperature increase, like melting of the ice—its going to change these patterns and the rate of carbon fixation. This is going to produce a deep impact for the rest of organisms.  We are still investigating, but we think that it's interesting to think that microbes that live in our ocean now are responding to stressing factors like increasing temperature and also acidification by different ways. In fact, it is unclear—it is a very hot topic and a very hot question—because we don't know for sure what the fate of these microbes in our oceans is going to be. For example, people think that we are going to lose biodiversity. There are some hypotheses that say that heterotrophy is going to be more predominant in the sea water. But it's unclear, because we don't really have fossil records that can compare the past to the present, and this is what we can provide, or at least potentially provide. We can say, ‘Hey, we can go before the industrial revolution, before the CO2 increase, and try to compare series of different samples until the present in order to see if, for example, heterotrophy, or microbes that are heterotrophs, are more predominant in modern samples compared to unseen samples.

What if scientists, artists, and technologists all created exhibitions together? What happens when you edit an exhibit about editing DNA? Should every project have a post-opening contingency — in addition to the normal kind? Ann Neumann (Director of Galleries and Exhibitions, MIT Museum) joins host Jonathan Alger (Managing Partner, C&G Partners) to discuss “Museum as Lab.” Along the way: circadian rhythms, robots, maritime paintings, and a huge spiderweb you can play like a musical instrument.Talking Points:1.

This course is for ALL adults, NOT just men. Sundays at 4pm ET https://mentalkingmindfulness.com/learnmeditationCheck out this Testimony from one of our students, Kalina Bitter:“I loved the MTM meditation course. It helped me calm my mind and become more aware of my heart and my intuition. I did the meditations every day for 10 weeks and often twice a day.I liked the progression of the course. I noticed that I felt more relaxed, slept better, and felt the effects of stress less. There was a lot of support from the instructors, Will and Jon, and a sense of community with all of the class members. It was a great experience and I might take the class again. I highly recommend it.” https://mentalkingmindfulness.com/learnmeditation

Our account has always been about keeping it real, not just sharing the highlight reels—so it's time to talk about toddler tantrums. This is a phase none of us can avoid, and we want to normalize it because, honestly, tantrums are a healthy part of development. While we're definitely not experts (manifesting Dr. Becky as a future podcast guest), we've picked up a few tips and tricks for navigating tantrums over the past few months. Whether it's a public meltdown (arms flailing, lying on the ground), a private one at home, or in the middle of the street, we're here to remind you that you're not alone. We'll share what's worked for us—and if you have advice, we're all ears!Sollis Health is now introducing their Sollis Family membership, the only medical membership that's on demand for your family 24/7, 365.
