Watch the Q&A session here: https://youtu.be/H8nG29pO_y4Asteroids were for years considered 'celestial vermin' - objects which got in the way of more interesting fodder for astronomers. Now, they are central to our Solar System's story, representing the building blocks from which planets are made, and capable of telling us the history of the last five billion years. This lecture considers two missions - Lucy, which flies past asteroid Donald Johnson in April 2025, and OSIRIS-ReX, which recently returned from threatening near-Earth asteroid Bennu bearing samples of this unusual world. This lecture was recorded by Chris Lintott on 23rd April 2025 at Conway Hall, LondonChris is Gresham Professor of Astronomy.He is also a Professor of Astrophysics at the University of Oxford, and a Research Fellow at New College.The transcript of the lecture is available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/watch-now/asteroid-adventuresGresham College has offered free public lectures for over 400 years, thanks to the generosity of our supporters.

They also offer practical guidance for higher ed leaders on how to make the necessary institutional improvements.
British actor and comedian Russell Brand has been formally charged with multiple sexual offenses by the Metropolitan Police Service. The charges include one count each of rape, indecent assault, and oral rape, along with two counts of sexual assault. These allegations involve four separate women and pertain to incidents that allegedly occurred between 1999 and 2005 in locations such as Bournemouth and Westminster, London. The investigation was initiated in September 2023 following reports by Channel 4's Dispatches and The Sunday Times. Brand has consistently denied these accusations, asserting that all his relationships during that period were consensual. He is scheduled to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on May 2, 2025.In addition to the charges in the United Kingdom, Brand is facing legal challenges in the United States. An anonymous woman, identified as Jane Doe, has filed a civil lawsuit in New York, alleging that Brand sexually assaulted her during the filming of the 2011 movie "Arthur." The lawsuit also names Warner Bros. as a defendant. Brand's legal team has expressed concern about the potential for criminal charges in the U.S., citing the overlap between the U.S. civil case and the U.K. criminal proceedings. Despite these legal issues, Brand is scheduled to speak at Florida's New College on April 12, 2025, discussing topics related to free speech and cancel culture.

The Origins Podcast began with a bang, a Big Bang. Over the first month of our recording, we traveled to two continents, and 4 cities and recorded 16 episodes in 22 days. It was a whirlwind, and one of the most amazing experiences I can recall. While in London, we took advantage of the amazingly gracious acceptance by Ricky Gervais to appear on the podcast. It was a day I will always remember. Ricky had appeared in our film, The Unbelievers, which followed me and Richard Dawkins around the world. Gus and Luke Holwerda, who directed and filmed that movie helped create The Origins Podcast, and for the first year, filmed all the episodes. Ricky graciously agreed to appear in front of their cameras one more time, and joined us at what was then New College of Humanities, where I was a visiting Professor. From the moment he arrived, it was clear it was going to be great. As he had been when we filmed The Unbelievers Ricky claimed to be nervous and was worried he would appear ignorant. He needn't have worried. Maybe that is one of the reasons he is so good at what he does, because he worries about rising to the challenge. We discussed his early life, his love of science, his early interest in biology and then philosophy, then the science of comedy, the comedy of religion, and the need for free speech. He then proceeded to demand a mind-bending, personal science lesson from me. It was amazing. He was amazing. Enjoy this, our first rebroadcast of a classic Origins Podcast Episode that is worth watching once again. Enjoy.

The Possibility of Literature: The Novel and the Politics of Form (Cambridge University Press, 2024) is a collection of Peter Boxall's essays over twenty years, the earliest from 1996. These essays cover a vast timespan, from the 17th century to contemporary times; a multiplicity of authors ranging from canonical, such as Cervantes, to underappreciated, such as Kelman; and various traditions, from realism to 'deathwriting'. Despite the richness of material, Boxall's penetrating and refreshing vision never loses sight of two central questions: what makes literature possible and what does literature generate? The essays are clustered into three sections, 'On Writers', 'On Literary Tradition', and 'On the Contemporary'. Exploring questions such as 'The Idea of Beauty', the nature of 'Mere Being', or the possibilities of Rereading, the author anatomises the myriad forces that shape the literary imagination. At the same time, he gives vivid critical expression to the imaginative possibilities of literature itself – those unique forms of communal life that literature makes possible in a dramatically changing world, and that lead us towards a new shared future. Peter Boxall is the Goldsmiths' Professor of English Literature at New College, University of Oxford. His publications include Don DeLillo: The Possibility of Fiction (2002), Since Beckett: Contemporary Writing in the Wake of Modernism (2009) and The Prosthetic Imagination: A History of the Novel as Artificial Life (2020).

Creating new colleges, new college programs, and growing enrollment is not an easy task in our current academic environment. Building enrollment for a brand-new academic program is one of higher education's toughest challenges. Yet, the University of Oklahoma's Polytechnic Institute (UOPI) successfully recruited its first class by flipping the traditional mindset. Instead of expecting students to be "college ready," they designed their programs to be "student ready." In this episode of Changing Higher Ed®, Dr. Teri Reed, inaugural director of the University of Oklahoma Polytechnic Institute at OU Tulsa and veteran creator of innovative engineering education programs, shares insights on launching new academic programs and colleges, revealing how strategic partnerships with Google and local community colleges helped launch new degrees that attract students to high-demand fields like cybersecurity and artificial intelligence. Podcast Overview Industry-Driven Program Design Extensive consultation with industry partners identified skills gaps, particularly in applied technical fields. Curriculum development focused on producing "industry ready" graduates. Programs include cybersecurity, applied artificial intelligence, and software development integration. Industry certifications embedded within courses to enhance graduate employability. Strategic Faculty Recruitment and Structure Innovative group interview process to ensure a collaborative mindset. Faculty hired across disciplines to prevent silos. Over 200 years of combined industry experience among 10 faculty members. Integration of industry professionals as university affiliates (including a current Google employee). Continuous Improvement: Curriculum Agility and Innovation Annual curriculum reviews and updates based on industry feedback. Willingness to modify programs multiple times per year to stay current. Two faculty "owners" per course to encourage collaboration and innovation. Focus on cross-disciplinary integration rather than traditional departmental structures. Strategic Partnerships Close collaboration with local community colleges for seamless transfers. The "Intentional swirling" approach allows students to progress while completing associate degrees. Industry partnerships inform curriculum and provide real-world expertise. Marketing and communication strategies to build program awareness. Creating Programs Focused on Student Success "Student ready" philosophy rather than the traditional "college ready" approach. Emphasis on meeting students where they are academically. Focus on reducing time-to-degree completion. Integration of industry certifications within coursework. Three Takeaways for University Presidents and Boards Listen broadly, especially to stakeholders who don't typically feel heard. Be bold in creating unique programs that differ from traditional approaches. Embrace opportunities in the high-tech world and move quickly to implement changes. Bonus Takeaway from Dr. McNaughton Hire faculty and staff who embrace change and are willing to continuously update curriculum based on industry needs. Wrapping Up This case study of the OU Polytechnic Institute provides valuable insights for higher education leaders looking to develop new programs that build enrollment and meet industry needs while maintaining academic rigor and ensuring student success. #HigherEducation #HigherEdEnrollment #HigherEducationPodcast Read the show transcript on our website: https://changinghighered.com/launching-new-college-programs-that-build-enrollment/ About Our Podcast Guest Teri K.

For decades, leftist ideology has poisoned America's schools, and the consequences couldn't be clearer. Free speech is being crushed, cultural chaos is spreading, and actual learning has taken a backseat to woke indoctrination. But in Florida, Governor Ron DeSantis showed us what real leadership looks like. By transforming the New College of Florida, he restored classical education and intellectual diversity to an institution in desperate need of both—and he put Richard Corcoran at the helm to lead that charge. What can we learn from this fearless approach to reclaiming education? Dr. Roberts sits down with President Corcoran to talk about how bold action and unapologetic principles can fix our schools and save our culture. Richard Corcoran is a seasoned conservative policymaker and education reform advocate. He served as Speaker of the Florida House of Representatives. As Florida's Education Commissioner, Corcoran implemented policies to strengthen academic standards, expand charter schools, and improve vocational education. In 2023, he was appointed President of New College of Florida by Governor Ron DeSantis to lead its transformation into a classical liberal arts institution focused on intellectual diversity and rigorous academics. His new book is "Storming the Ivory Tower: How a Florida College Became Ground Zero in the Struggle to Take Back Our Campuses."

But now it's time for the main man to get re-acquainted with the fellas: his faithful wingman, his furry friend, and most of all, his long-lost son.
