As I strolled across the homestead, the simple act of releasing the ducks at dawn stirred a profound reflection on the spiritual and familial anchors of our lives. On the American Soul Podcast, I, Jesse Cope, invite you into this contemplation, urging us to embrace the pillars of faith and cherish every moment with our loved ones. Amidst the gardening and the routine, let's explore the richness found in daily Bible reading and consider how estrangement from these sacred texts can leave a nation vulnerable to turmoil, as seen in current protests and academic unrest. Together, we'll discover the significance of prioritizing our spouses, drawing inspiration from a family that eschewed technology for true connection—a lesson learned within the hallowed walls of the Yale Club.As we wade through today's torrent of challenges, I'm reminded of the weighty task before us: guiding the next generation with the wisdom of scripture, illuminated by the experiences of figures like Abraham Lincoln. This episode doesn't just revisit historical insights but calls us to recognize the gravity of our trials and the steadfastness of God's righteous judgments. Join me as I bless you, your family, and our nation, affirming that faith's power can indeed uplift and transform.

Jason Bock, Co-Founder and CEO of CTMC, and Dr. Chris Flowers, Division Head of Cancer Medicine and Chair of Lymphoma and Myeloma at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, are collaborating to accelerate the development of cancer cell therapies and manufacturing innovative cell therapies for cancer patients. CTMC is a joint venture between MD Anderson Cancer Center and National Resilience created to address the challenges of delivering autologous cell therapies at a scalable level. Jason and Chris highlight the value of face-to-face interaction in solving the complex logistics of getting a drug from the research into the clinic.   Jason explains, "We created CTMC to address the challenges of delivering autologous cell therapies to treat cancer patients. This modality is unique in that the starting material for each batch of product comes from the patient. And so, the actual manufacturing supply chain starts with the patient. We bring that into the manufacturing facility, engineer the cells, expand them, and then reinfuse those to the same patient. The clinic and manufacturing site relationship is much more connected than any other therapeutic modality. MD Anderson, being a leader in cancer cell therapy and seeing that cell therapy would be transformative for cancer treatment, we created this venture to address better the challenge of the connectedness between cell therapy, clinical trials, and manufacturing sites." Chris elaborates, "Our group at MD Anderson had a very similar concept and idea that started a little bit later, about five years after that and looking at the same target. Throughout the last three years, our group has collaborated with CTMC and has taken the concept of that target and moved it from animal models and cell models where we were testing to see whether this was a good target and effective of killing lymphoma cells. We took this to animal models, where we tested and showed that it was effective. Then, collaborating with CTMC to go through the entire FDA regulatory process to get an IND approval to develop the manufacturing process. So, not just a targeted cell therapy that was effective in the lab, but a targeted cell therapy that could be effective and be administered to patients. That whole scale-up and manufacturing process was a collaboration that happen with CTMC." #CTMC #MDAnderson #CellTherapy #ClinicalTrials #EndCancer #BiopharmaceuticalManufacturing ctmc.com    mdanderson.org Download the transcript here

Formed just over a year ago, CTMC has expanded its footprint and already worked on a handful of innovative treatments. Jason shares a bit on how this progress has gone so far and why he's bullish on Houston being a hub for the relatively young field of cell therapy manufacturing.

2:13  Labiotech news5:17  bit.bioThis week's podcast is sponsored by Scientist.com.The mainstream news in the past couple of months has picked up on artificial intelligence (AI). Not so much its uses, more the potential for conflict and fears over AI developing too quickly, or ‘taking over humanity.'Debates have sprung up around deepfakes, ChatGPT, and other AI technologies, and there are concerns over how new technology will impact our everyday lives. The debate covers ethics, regulations, law, education; in fact AI and the future seem intertwined. AI has been around for some time, it's just increased sophistication has brought it more into the spotlight. There are many positives to AI, not least in the life sciences. We now have the potential to analyze far more data, and there is real potential for identification of new drugs and drug targets being found through new technology. Of course, AI has other applications in science, such as climate change and sustainability, and in food technology.  AI and machine learning were just some of the topics Labiotech discussed with Mark Kotter, CEO of U.K. biotech bit.bio.bit.bio is a synthetic biology company providing human cells for research, drug discovery and cell therapy. The company applies a patented safe harbor gene-targeting approach to inducibly express transcription factor combinations that reprogram human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) into highly defined and mature human cell types. The company is currently building a clinical pipeline and marketing a range of cells and disease models for research and drug discovery under its ioCells brand. This includes nerve cells, immune cells and muscle cells. The company was spun out of the University of Cambridge in 2016, and has since raised $150 million capital from Arch Ventures, Foresite Capital, Milky Way, Charles River Laboratories, National Resilience, Tencent, and Puhua Capital among others.

More than 7000 homes and businesses in Victoria's north could soon be flooded as the state's historic emergency event continues. Shepparton residents are continuing to be bombarded with flood water, while other areas start the clean up process following last week's monster deluge. The Goulburn River may peak near 12.1m later on Monday morning, potentially putting 7300 homes and businesses in Shepparton, Mooroopna and Kialla in danger of being surrounded or filled with flood water. Victorian Emergency management commissioner Andrew Crisp said they received 56 requests for rescues in those areas overnight on Sunday, with some yet to be undertaken. Bureau of Metrology meteorologist Dean Narramore said several river catchments are expected to peaked on Monday. “On the Avoca River around the Charlton area, it looks like will peak around 8m today with major floods that will cause some issues there today,” he told the ABC. “Moving further eastwards, we're looking at major flooding continuing and it will for a number of days on the Campaspe and the Goulburn River. “We'll see the floodwaters peak in Echuca and Moama, similar to the 1993 levels. “Shepparton as well looking to peak sometime later today or into tonight. Similar to the levels of 1974, so it's going a long way back. “There's a massive amount of water on the Goulburn right now and that all feeds into the Murray River, so we're concerned for Echuca and Moama in the coming days.” But he warned more heavy rainfall has been “unfortunately” forecast for later in the week, with up to 25mm potentially hitting already flood-affected areas like Echuca and Shepparton. “Not good news for our flood-affected areas ... looking at widespread 25-50mm falls over much of inland New South Wales, northern Victoria and Queensland,” Mr Narramore said. “This is a lot less than what we saw, but with everything now so wet and saturated, this is going to lead to renewed river level rises on many of our already flooded rivers. “Particularly as we get in towards that Thursday and Friday time frame … we could see quite a few severe thunderstorms through inland areas across multiple days later this week and into the weekend.” Mr Narramore also said “it could be a while” until the rain lets up for residents in Australia's east. “It looks like we will get a brief break over the weekend Sunday and Monday, but there is another system hot on its heels as we move into early parts of next week,” he told The Today Show. “ This wet pattern continues to bring widespread flooding across eastern Australia.” Federal Emergency Management Minister Murray Watt said Victoria was facing a “a very serious situation”. “The reports I‘m getting, we could be looking at up to 9000 homes inundated in northern Victoria and potentially close to about 34,000 homes in Victoria either inundated or isolated,” he told the ABC. Mr Crisp said around 300 to 400 homes have inundated with flood water in Echuca, while about 800 to 900 have been affected in Rochester. “I had the opportunity to fly over Rochester yesterday. To be frank, it‘s depressing, there's water everywhere,” he told the ABC. “We'll work with, stand with, and support the community of Rochester and we'll be doing everything we can to help them get back on their feet.” On Saturday morning, a respected member of the Rochester community sadly lost his life in his backyard during the relentless weather event. Kevin Wills, 71, who was born in the Victorian town lived with his wife on High Street for years, with the community heartbroken at the loss. Mr Wills' wife was also found by emergency services trapped at the property but was rescued safely. Victoria SES has issued more than 60 flood warnings across the state, more than 100 Australian Defence Force personnel have been deployed, while around 120 schools and 100 early learning centres are closed on Monday. The state and federal governments have prepared the Centre for National Resilience in Mickleham to provide crisis care for those needing accommodation. The Mickleham facility will provide 250 beds from Tuesday next week for people who have lost their homes in the floods. Residents will also receive food and other support services at the site, as well as remotely. The Commonwealth built and owned Mickleham location recently closed as a quarantine hub, allowing it to now open its doors to flood victims. Emergency Management Victoria, along with Emergency Recovery Victoria and Covid-19 Quarantine Victoria, are working collaboratively to set the facility up, using the existing quarantine staff and service providers to get support to those who need it quickly. The centre will act as a hub, as residents will be supplied with free regular transport on a provided shuttle bus to the local train station and shopping centre. Every room provided to those in need will hold toiletries and necessities, and people will be provided with three meals per day. Local charities are working to provide items that families may have had to leave behind in the floods, such as clothing. The federal government also made disaster assistance payments available for 44 flood affected areas across Victoria, NSW and Tasmania. In Victoria those 23 local government areas are: Alpine Benalla Buloke Campaspe Central Goldfields Corangamite Gannawarra Greater Bendigo Greater Shepparton Hepburn Horsham Loddon Macedon Ranges Mansfield Maribyrnong Mitchell Shire Moira Moonee Valley Murrindindi Northern Grampians Pyrenees Strathbogie Wangaratta One-off Australian Government Disaster Recovery Payments are also available in Campaspe, Greater Shepparton, Maribyrnong, Mitchell and Strathbogie. There is $1000 per adult and $400 per child in recognition of the significant losses people in those areas have experienced due to the floods. The state government also revealed on Sunday that Melbourne Water will conduct a review into the 3m floodwater wall around Flemington Racecourse. It will investigate claims from frustrated residents that the racecourse managed to avoid the severe flooding because the wall pushed water into the surrounding Maribyrnong area. “Melbourne Water will conduct a thorough review of this flood event and any impact that wall had on this flood event,” Mr Andrews said. “And they'll do that work at arm's length from the government and report progress.” Racing Victoria chief executive Andrew Jones told Channel 9 over the weekend the well had created “unintended consequences”. “The VRC took steps to flood-protect its property 15 years ago, which it's entitled to do. That's obviously had unintended consequences for neighbouring residents,” he said. “Obviously there was no intention of the VRC to cause harm. They tried to protect the spring carnival and the Melbourne Cup Carnival, which is a massively important part of Victorian life and the Victorian economy, so I think this is an unintended consequence.” FLOOD WARNINGS Major Flood Warning for the Avoca River Major Flood Warning for the Broken River Major Flood Warning for the Campaspe River Major Flood Warning for the Goulburn River Major Flood Warning for the Loddon River Major Flood Warning for the Seven and Castle Creeks Major Flood Warning for the Wimmera River Moderate Flood Warning for the Barwon River Moderate Flood Warning for the Ovens and King Rivers EMERGENCY WARNINGS Echuca and Echuca Village (Evacuate Immediately) Bunbartha (Evacuate Immediately) Charlton (Evacuate Immediately) Shepparton, Mooroopna, Orrvale, Murchison, Kialla West (Too Late to Leave) Rochester (Move to Higher Ground) Campaspe River downstream of Rochester (Move to Higher Ground) Nanneella, Fairy Dell, Koyuga and Kanyapella South (Move to Higher Ground) Campaspe River Lake Eppalock to Barnadown (Move to Higher Ground) Loddon River Loddon Weir to Kerang (Move to Higher Ground) - by Hamish Spence and Isabel McMillan, news.com.auSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There were concerns at the time of its announcement in August last year that the Federal Government's quarantine facility at Bullsbrook would be redundant once it was completed. The $400 million, 500-bed facility, widely endorsed by the McGowan government at the time, is now finished and has been given the title of Centre for National Resilience. WA Liberal Leader David Honey told Liam Bartlett on 6PR Mornings part of the deal meant WA had to shoulder the running costs, with Serco given the annual $13 million contract, which equates to $35,000 a day. "I guess one part of it is, there will be pandemics in the future ... but there are a couple of opportunities ... one of the big issues we have in WA and Perth in particular is the issue of homeless people," he told Bartlett. "If you were going to do that, you'd have wraparound services there. "Crikey, leaving them sleeping under bridges and in the doorways of the city buildings in Perth and the suburbs, I think is inhumane. "The other opportunity is ... we've got a critical housing shortage, so if you want to get workers into the state, there's nowhere for them to stay, so there is an opportunity at least until people could find a permanent place to live."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In November 2020, the European Commission launched the Pact for Skills – a shared engagement and approach to skills development. The Pact is aimed to maximise the improvement of existing skills (upskilling) and training in new skills (reskilling). It calls on industry, employers, social partners, chambers of commerce, public authorities, education and training providers and employment agencies to work together and make a clear commitment to invest in training for all working age people across the European Union.The Pact builds on the European Pillar of Social Rights, the EU's compass for a social and inclusive recovery. It emphasises the promotion of lifelong learning for all, building strong skills partnerships, monitoring skills supply/demand and anticipating skills needs, and working against discrimination and for gender equality and equal opportunities. As reskilling is part of the National Recovery and Resilience Funds, taking account of regional, national and European developments is imperative for a fair and resilient recovery. Join this EURACTIV Virtual Conference, the third event of the 'Future of Work Lab debate series', to discuss where we stand one year after the launch of the Pact for Skills and how skills are becoming 'the currency of the future'. Questions to be addressed include:- How has the COVID-19 pandemic impacted concepts like lifelong learning and skills partnerships?- What lessons can be drawn from the pandemic regarding skills supply/demand and anticipating skills?- What are national systems doing to enforce upskilling of their workforce in the framework of National Resilience and Recovery Plans?- What role can industry play in ensuring a fair and efficient upskilling of the workforce?- What role can the EU play in skills demand and supply needs for workforce and companies at regional, national and European level? How is this foreseen in the NRRPs?- Can the Recovery and Resilience Facility play a role in the implementation of the EU Pact for Skills?

Australia's national resilience has taken a big tumble over the past year - impacted by COVID-19 and the legacy of bushfires and drought - but there are early signs of recovery and optimism in the national psyche.

The Delta World Tour has landed in NZ from Australia and is taking off. The War in Afghanistan has finally ended however the national security state the war created is now being turned on their own citizens with Australian mainstream media airing another expose on the far-right. All that on the return on Trad Tasman Talk with Tim Wilms and Stephen Berry live 6pm Melbourne time and 8pm Melbourne time on YouTube and Odysee. New Zealand went straight to alert level 4 on Tuesday at midnight over one mystery case in Auckland. It is the nation's highest level of restriction with even take away food and coffee closed. The cluster has grown to 31, Jacinda Ardern advised citizens not to talk to their neighbors outside as they could catch Delta. NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian further tightened and extended the state's lockdown including mandatory masks outside, a curfew in Western Sydney, and giving the police even greater power. The ACT lockdown has also continued. Victorian Premier Dan Andrews not to be outdone has threatened even harsher restrictions for Melbourne and Victoria. The rest of the western world is looking at horror at what is happening in Australia and New Zealand. Footage of NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard talking about the process of busing year 12 students into Sydney Olympic Park to receive the Pfizer vaccine so they can return to school to complete their HSC. In Melbourne, a new quarantine camp is being constructed called the Centre for National Resilience. 60 Minutes and the Age newspaper published another expose on Australia's "far-right" paying an infiltrator to secretly film members of the National Socialist Network at their sharehouse HQ. Thomas Sewell and Jacob Hersant who were recently charged with armed robbery are the only public members of the group, reporter Nick McKenzie doxxed all other members and lister their occupation. This expose comes before the Joint Parliamentary Committee on Security and Intelligence is due to hand down its report on its radicalism and extremism inquiry. Domestic spy agency ASIO recently received more money in the federal budget. The War in Afghanistan which Australia and New Zealand committed troops to has ended with the Taliban winning after the US-led withdrawal. The Taliban has been on a PR blitz stating although they will implement sharia law much of their reported mistreatment of women and not letting girls go to school is fake news. 41 Australian troops died in the war, the debate has turned to whether Australia should accept Afghans who assisted our forces be allowed to settle as refugees here.

In this episode of the Defence Connect Podcast, senator for Victoria and chair of the parliamentary joint committee on intelligence and security James Paterson discusses the importance of building national resilience amid growing security risks. Senator Paterson begins by outlining his responsibilities as chair of the joint committee on intelligence and security and the role he plays in informing defence and foreign policy. The senator explains why the conversation around national resilience has become “mainstream”, and notes the importance of better informing the broader community about emerging security challenges. He then discusses the future of the Indo-Pacific, and weighs in on the likelihood of kinetic confrontation with China. Senator Paterson goes on to highlight the importance of Australia’s regional and international alliances with specific reference to the evolution of the Quad. Finally, Senator Paterson discusses the federal government’s proposal to introduce new critical infrastructure legislation, designed to ensure businesses that are “systemically important” receive the assistance they need to counter foreign threats.
