Podcasts about next frontier

Around 500 million years ago, animals first ventured out of the oceans and onto land…Since then, life has evolved in wondrous and unforeseeable ways to this new environment, with everything from dinosaurs to bats roaming around above the waves. And, in the case of ourselves, even venturing into orbit.So, could life entering the cosmos be the beginning of a similar evolutionary leap?Caleb Sharf, Astrobiologist with NASA and author of ‘The Giant Leap: Why Space Is the Next Frontier in the Evolution of Life', joins Seán to discuss.

Hospitals were once the epicenter of healthcare food service. One kitchen fed thousands, one cafeteria served everyone from physicians to visitors, and one model defined the experience. That era is ending.As care moves beyond the hospital walls into outpatient clinics, ambulatory centers, imaging hubs, and patients' homes, food service needs to move with it. What once was a static operation is becoming a dynamic, distributed network designed to keep up with an always-on health system.

Assessments pertaining to an individual's industry knowledge, personality traits and interpersonal skills have become the primary means of determining candidate viability in the job interview process. But in some quarters, gamification is being added to the mix to give employers a flavour of what it might actually be like to work with these candidates outside of stellar paper credentials and prepared answers. Emaad and Audrey share some examples on this edition of Breakfast Bites.

PREVIEW: Quantum Computing: The Next Frontier Guest: Brandon Weichert Brandon Weichert reports on quantum computing as the "next wave" and frontier of computational power. Google recently achieved a major breakthrough by successfully testing stable quantum communication. While AI currently dominates technological discourse, Weichert believes that within 10 to 20 years, AI must be paired with quantum technology to fulfill its transformative potential. Quantum computing represents the next evolutionary leap in information processing capabilities, capable of solving problems intractable for classical computers and fundamentally reshaping industries from pharmaceuticals to cryptography.

Here's the problem: Artificial intelligence is evolving faster than most organizations can keep up — and the risks of falling behind are real.In this episode, futurist and ethnographer Mike Courtney, CEO of Aperio Insights, joins IISE's David Brandt to unpack how AI is reshaping the way we work, think, and lead. Together they explore:Why AI can solve problems at scale — and create them at scaleHow industrial and systems engineers can lead responsibly through the AI revolutionThe paradox of innovation: moving fast without losing the human touchWhat “humans in the loop” really means for the future of workFrom dark factories and automation to collaboration, creativity, and behavioral change, Courtney sheds light on how to balance speed, ethics, and adaptability in an AI-driven world.

Carbon, selfishly, has dominated the sustainability conversation for some time. But what about the often-overlooked foundation of our everything in our economy: biodiversity. How can you measure that if its basically everything? We show you how in this episode, exploring how every business, from agriculture to technology, depends on the health of ecosystems, and how investors can now quantify those connections through innovative data-driven tools. By unpacking the creation of our new Biodiversity Risk Index Screen, the conversation reveals how measuring nature's complexity can help reduce financial exposure to environmental loss and drive more resilient investment strategies. It's a deep dive into how markets are beginning to account for the true value of the natural world. Host: Mike Disabato, MSCI ESG ResearchGuest: Laura Coomber, MSCI ESG Research

A leading astrobiologist "demonstrates how becoming a true space-faring species is more than just humanity's future" (Adam Frank, author of The Little Book of Aliens)--it is an evolutionary event at least as important as life's first journey from sea to land The story of life has always been one of great transitions, of crossing new frontiers. The dawn of life itself is one; so, too, is the first time two cells stuck together rather than drifting apart. And perhaps most dramatic were the moves from the sea to land, land to air. Each transition has witnessed wild storms of innovation, opportunity, and hazard. It might seem that there are no more realms for life to venture. But there is one: space. In The Giant Leap: Why Space Is the Next Frontier in the Evolution of Life (Hachette UK, 2025), astrobiologist Caleb Scharf argues that our journey into space isn't simply a giant leap for humankind--it's life's next great transition, an evolution of evolution itself. Humans and our technology are catalysts for an interplanetary transformation, marking a disruption in the story of life as fundamental as life's movement from sea to land, and land to sky. Inspired by Darwin's account of his journey on the Beagle, and packed with stories from the past, present, and future of space travel, The Giant Leap thrills at both life's creativity and the marvels of technology that have propelled us into the cosmos.

What if the biggest barrier to gender equality isn't who does the dishes, but who has to remember the dishes need doing?In this episode of Glass Ceilings and Sticky Floors, host Erica Rooney sits down with Allison Daminger, a groundbreaking sociologist and author of What's On Her Mind: The Mental Workload of Family Life. Allison's viral research shines a light on the mental load—the planning, anticipating, and managing of all the things—that disproportionately falls on women.Join them as they dissect why even in "woke" partnerships with hands-on dads, women's brains never get to turn off. Allison reveals the societal structures and deep-seated norms that keep this imbalance sticky and, crucially, how we can start an honest, constructive conversation to create a more equitable home life.Inside the Episode:Defining the Invisible Labor: The difference between the physical execution of a chore and the taxing mental work of planning and anticipating that precedes it.The "Nothing" Response: Erica shares a powerful personal anecdote of asking her husband what he was thinking about, only to receive the one-word answer that perfectly summed up the mental load gap.The Next Frontier of Equality: Why sharing the mental load is the final, sticky frontier in achieving true gender parity, even as men do more physical labor than previous generations.The Policy Problem: Erica and Allison connect the mental load directly to the lack of paid parental leave in the US, arguing that early exposure to a child's needs is key to long-term equity.Superhumans vs. Bumblers: Allison's favorite part of her research, revealing why women are overwhelmingly perceived as the "superhumans" (naturally organized) and men as the "bumblers" (go-with-the-flow)—and why this is a harmful myth.The Truth About Changing Roles: Insights into how the mental load impacts women's career progression, and why couples with higher-earning women still often see the woman carrying the mental burden.The Unjudged Reality: A liberating conclusion: it's okay if changing the load is too much work, as long as you're clear-eyed and okay with the current arrangement.If you've ever felt deeply frustrated by having to manage all the things for your family, this episode will make you feel seen, validated, and equipped to start the conversation you need to have.

In this powerful episode of Health Confidential, host Simone Gisondi speaks with Dr. Andrew Wakefield, a British gastroenterologist whose professional path shifted from respected medical researcher to one of the most controversial voices in vaccine safety. His early work at the Royal Free Hospital in London uncovered severe gastrointestinal issues in autistic children—conditions that had been largely ignored by mainstream medicine. By listening to parents and investigating the gut-brain connection, Dr. Wakefield found that treating gut inflammation could improve neurological symptoms, sparking a debate that would reshape his career.Challenging medical orthodoxy came at a steep personal and professional cost. Dr. Wakefield faced widespread persecution, the loss of his medical license, and ultimately, exile from the traditional medical establishment. Determined to continue raising awareness, he transitioned to filmmaking, producing documentaries like Vaxxed to highlight what he describes as systemic flaws in vaccine research and medical reporting.This candid conversation invites listeners to reflect on the meaning of true scientific integrity. Dr. Wakefield's journey underscores the importance of putting patient health before professional reputation and raises pressing questions about how medicine approaches research, safety, and accountability in protecting public health.KEY TAKEAWAYSChildren with autism often had severe gut inflammation that was overlooked by doctorsTreating gut health showed improvements in neurological symptomsVaccine safety studies were inadequate, often conducted on institutionalized children without proper oversightAllegations of destroyed CDC data on vaccine risks raise questions about transparencyNew research suggests vaccinated children may face higher rates of chronic illnessBEST MOMENTS (direct quotes)“We have a professional and moral obligation to take that very, very seriously.”“They put themselves first. And it was very sad.”“There wasn't one [proper controlled study]. What I found is that the early safety studies of these vaccines were conducted on children in institutions... without any regard to their health or well-being.”“If you don't want to publish the truth, whether it supports your hypothesis or not, then you're not a scientist. Get out of science.”GUEST INFORMATIONDr. Andrew WakefieldGastroenterologist, Author & Documentary Filmmaker(Vaxxed)Website: https://7thchakrafilms.com/home-page VALUABLE RESOURCEShttps://www.simonegisondi.com/HOST BIOMeet the remarkable Simone Gisondi, a seasoned coach, published author, and the dynamic host of Health Confidential.

We trace why “bring your whole self to work” fell flat, how subtle detractor patterns (ignoring, courtesy code switching, email habits) silently erode trust, and why inclusion is less about demographics and more about everyday micro-behaviors. Kimberly makes it real: when team members only get replies if they CC the boss, people stop trying. When leaders say they value input but don't create safety, trust collapses.The surprise? Homogeneous teams with strong inclusion behaviors can outperform diverse ones without them. Inclusion isn't about who's at the table—it's whether voices matter once they're there.I push back on the myth of “leader angst”: making things better is the leader's job. Kimberly adds the missing truth: the biggest cost isn't money or time—it's the vulnerability of having real conversations with your team.This isn't theory. It's leadership on the line. And it's the difference between wasting hours in ignored emails versus amplifying effectiveness by 30% with no extra cost—just courage.TL;DR* Inclusion ≠ diversity quotas—it's behaviors that create belonging.* Five detractor patterns silently kill inclusion (ignoring, courtesy code switching, etc.).* Leaders can't outsource inclusion—HR can't carry this, only teams can.* Effectiveness jumps when small friction points (like ignored emails) get fixed.* The real cost: leaders must get vulnerable, confront team dynamics, and stay accountable.Memorable lines “No one wakes up in the morning saying, ‘I hope I'm excluded today.'” “Courtesy code switching sounds respectful—but it actually silences voices.” “Making things better is literally the leader's job. Otherwise, a bot could replace you.” “Inclusion isn't a social program—it's how you answer your team's emails.”Guest Kimberly Lewis Parsons — Founder & CEO of Bamboo Teaming; expert in inclusive teaming, executive team coaching, and shifting leaders from ineffective habits to productive collaboration.

In this episode, Brad dives into the growing interest in milk fatty acid profiles and what they can tell us about cow health, nutrition, and management.Brad explains the three main groups of milk fatty acids—de novo, mixed, and preformed—and how they are shaped by diet, stage of lactation, seasonality, and even genetics. He highlights how monitoring these fatty acid trends through routine milk testing can help farmers fine-tune rations, detect health challenges like subclinical ketosis or mastitis, and make more informed feeding decisions.Brad also shares findings from two recent University of Minnesota research projects:Commercial herd study: Comparing Holsteins and crossbreds, as well as feeding strategies (higher starch diets vs. fat supplementation). Results showed small but meaningful differences in fatty acid profiles, with crossbreds showing slightly healthier rumen indicators.University herd study: Comparing organic pasture-based cows to conventional TMR-fed cows, and looking at breed influences (Holsteins, Viking Reds, Jerseys, and Normandy crosses). Pasture cows had higher preformed fatty acids, while Jerseys and Normandy crosses stood out for more favorable fatty acid compositions.The takeaway: fatty acid testing is a valuable management tool for nutrition, genetics, and herd health monitoring—and could even open new opportunities for niche milk markets.Questions, comments, scathing rebuttals? -> themoosroom@umn.edu or call 612-624-3610 and leave us a message!Linkedin -> The Moos RoomTwitter -> @UMNmoosroom and @UMNFarmSafetyFacebook -> @UMNDairyYouTube -> UMN Beef and Dairy and UMN Farm Safety and HealthInstagram -> @UMNWCROCDairyExtension WebsiteAgriAmerica Podcast Directory
