Radical playwright Valerie Solanas, author of the SCUM Manifesto (for the ‘Society of Cutting Up Men') attempted to assassinate pop artist Andy Warhol at The Factory on 3rd June, 1968. As a result, Warhol wore a corset for the rest of his life; security had to be introduced at the previously open-door environment of The Factory; and Solanas' name went down in infamy. In this episode, Olly, Arion and Rebecca ask whether her feminist writing would carry more weight if she'd never committed this violent act; consider the ethics of wannabe-assassins becoming celebrities, and wonder whether her SCUM Manifesto reads more like Jane Austen or Germaine Greer… Content Warning: mental health, paranoid schizophrenia, injury detail Further Reading: • ‘I Shot Andy Warhol' trailer (1996):  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAQRCcQlXXE • ‘The SCUM Manifesto' on Northeastern University's website:  https://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/shivers/rants/scum.html • ‘This Is Why a Radical Playwright Shot Andy Warhol' (Time, 2015):  https://time.com/3901488/andy-warhol-valerie-solanas/ This episode was first published in 2021 Love the show?

Welcome to Breaking Down Boxes. We have compelling conversations with entrepreneurs in the packaging space. In this engaging conversation, Larry Grossbard, co-owner of President Container, shares the inspiring journey of his family business, which began in 1947. He discusses the evolution of the company, the challenges faced during the transition to a super plant, and the importance of family dynamics in maintaining a successful business. Larry emphasizes the value of mentorship, the philosophy of not sweating the small stuff, and the commitment to keeping the business within the family for future generations. The discussion also highlights strategies for growth and the significance of building strong relationships in the industry. In this conversation, Larry discusses the importance of leadership transition, innovation in machinery, and the commitment to work ethic in achieving success. About LarryLarry Grossbard is co-owner of President Container Group (PCG), one of the largest independent corrugated manufacturers in the United States. A second-generation leader, Larry joined the family business in 1986 after earning a B.S. in Management and Finance from Northeastern University, where he also served two terms as President (Master) of Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity. From his first days at PCG, Larry committed himself to learning every facet of the company—from machinery and quality control to design, sales, and executive management. In 1997, he and his brother Richard bought out their uncle's stake in the company. Following the passing of their father, Marvin Grossbard, they became sole owners.In 2010, Larry helped lead the development of PCG's cutting-edge “super plant” in Middletown, NY, doubling the company's capacity and setting a new benchmark for scale and efficiency in the corrugated industry.Larry has served as a Regional Director for AICC and was President of his local Solomon Schechter school. Deeply committed to reinvestment in people and culture, Larry proudly upholds PCG's identity as a true family business—not just in ownership, but in how employees are treated. The company recently honored a switcher who retired after 45 years and recognized a roll stock manager who reached 50 years and is still going strong.A lifelong Mets and Giants fan, Larry is the proud father of two children: Matt, now Plant Manager of PCG's NY facility, and Arin, who works in finance. His son-in-law is General Manager of President Industrial Products, and multiple members of Larry and Richard's extended family—including Larry's fiancée Michelle and her daughters—are also active in the company, continuing the tradition of multi-generational leadership at PCG.ContactwebLinkedinNew episodes drop the first Monday of every month.

Dan and Ellen talk with Rahul Bhargava, a colleague at Northeastern University. Rahul is a professor who crosses boundaries: the boundaries of storytelling and data, the boundaries of deep dives into collaborative research and interactive museum exhibits and plays. He holds a master's degree in media arts and science from MIT, and a bachelor's degree in electrical and computer engineering from Carnegie Mellon University. But he also minored in multimedia production. He brings the power of big data research to the masses, through newsroom workshops, interactive museum exhibits, and more. Rahul has collaborated with groups in Brazil, in Minnesota and at the World Food Program. He helps local communities use data to understand their world, and as a tool for change. There's more to data than just bar charts. Sometimes it involves forks! His book, "Community Data," unlocks all sorts of secrets. Dan and Ellen also talk with Lisa Thalhamer, a longtime TV journalist who is now a graduate student at Northeastern. Lisa realized that like many fields, journalism suffers from a gap between academic research and its implementation in workplaces. She is finding ways to bridge that gap, and urges an Avenger's-style team to lift up the work of a free press. Ellen has a Quick Take on a recent visit to Santa Barbara, California, and the efforts to revive a legacy paper, the Santa Barbara News-Press. Dan's Quick Take is about the latest development from the National Trust for Local News. It involves a chain of weekly papers in Colorado — their very first acquisition dating back to 2021. And it's not good news at all for the journalists who work at those papers and the communities they serve.

This week, we're talking about good news once again. On our last episode, we spoke with crime data analyst Jeff Asher about what it looks like murder might hit an all-time low this year. Now, we're talking with criminologist James Alan Fox about how we've yet to see a public mass shooting this year. Fox, a Northeastern University professor who's studied mass killings for decades, said the tracker he runs for the Associated Press and USA Today hasn't found a single public mass shooting to date. He noted the decline actually dates back to last year, which saw an unusually small number of mass shootings as well. He argued the trend disproves the idea mass shootings constitute an "epidemic." Fox said it's more reasonable to see mass shootings as rare events that have increased slowly over time, but not a lot more than population growth. He said the recent decline comes after a record high in 2023 and may be the result of the trend returning to its baseline. Still, he argued that the way many media outlets cover mass shootings, and the differing definitions they rely on, tend to mislead the public on their prevalence. Special Guest: James Alan Fox.

A lot has changed in Central Asia in the more than three years since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The region's giant neighbors -- Russia and China -- have played and will no doubt continue to play large roles in Central Asia. However, the Central Asian states have strengthened relations, economic partnerships, and export routes with other countries since February 2022, loosening, to some extent, the grip Russia and China have had over Central Asia. How much have the Central Asian states used this period to further consolidate their independence and sovereignty -- both in foreign policy and economic terms? Joining host Bruce Pannier to discuss this process are guests Nargis Kassenova, a senior fellow and director of the Program on Central Asia at Harvard University's Davis Center; Bakyt Beshimov, a former member of Kyrgyzstan's parliament and former Kyrgyz ambassador to the OSCE and India who now teaches at Northeastern University in Boston; and Temur Umarov, a fellow at the Carnegie Russia Eurasia Center in Berlin.

We're joined by Professor Ravi Ramamurti, founder and director of the Center for Emerging Markets at Northeastern University in Boston, who's one of the world's leading experts on innovation in emerging economies.   Professor Ramamurti who along with his co-author coined the term ‘reverse innovation' — the phenomenon where innovation flows not from West to East, but from developing countries upward into wealthier markets. In this wide-ranging conversation, he challenges long-held assumptions about who innovates, how innovation spreads, and what lessons emerging markets are teaching the world.   We dive into: How reverse innovation has become a mainstream force, from portable ultrasounds to healthcare delivery models. What made India's hospitals 90% cheaper than the U.S. while matching quality. The rise of China as a global innovation leader in EVs, solar, AI, and biotech. How internal competition and STEM education give China an edge. What separates emerging market multinationals from their Western counterparts. Why globalization might retreat in the West but accelerate across the Global South. The role of business model innovation, not just technical R&D, in driving growth. What policymakers in emerging economies should focus on to unlock innovation. This episode is part of the Emerging Market Innovation Series, created in collaboration with Strategic Counsel, and also features Hafidzi Razali, founder and CEO of Strategic Counsel.   Key Takeaways from the Episode:   1.⁠ ⁠Innovation Is Reversing Direction: Emerging markets are no longer just catching up—they're now originating impactful innovations that reshape global industries.   2.⁠ ⁠Business Model Innovation Matters: From mobile payments to frugal healthcare, the biggest breakthroughs often come not from new tech, but from rethinking cost and access at scale.   3.⁠ ⁠China Is Now a Global Innovation Engine: Whether it's batteries, solar, AI, or pharmaceuticals, China is leading with original ideas—not just copycat models.   4.⁠ ⁠Internal Competition Fuels Innovation: China's provinces, companies, and universities are in constant competition, making it one of the most dynamic innovation ecosystems in the world.   5.⁠ ⁠Emerging Market MNCs Start Differently: Unlike Western firms built on tech superiority, EMNCs often scale through local problem-solving, cost innovation, and process excellence.   6.⁠ ⁠Don't Underestimate South-South Trade: As Western markets close, emerging markets may open up to one another, forming a new kind of globalization led from the Global South.   7.⁠ ⁠Innovation Needs State Support — and Deregulation: Countries need smart deregulation, investment in human capital, and openness to global ideas to create fertile ground for local innovation.   8.⁠ ⁠The AI Era Will Shake Up Everything: Professor Ramamurti shares early thoughts on how AI could redefine software economies like India's and change the geography of work.   (00:00) - Intro (01:39) - What is Reverse Innovation?

Every time you see an apple spontaneously break away from a tree, it falls downward. You therefore claim that there is a law of physics: apples fall downward from trees. But how can you really know? After all, tomorrow you might see an apple that falls upward. How is science possible at all? Philosophers, as you might expect, have thought hard about this. Branden Fitelson explains how a better understanding of probability can help us decide when new evidence is actually confirming our beliefs.Blog post with transcript: https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/2025/05/19/315-branden-fitelson-on-the-logic-and-use-of-probability/Support Mindscape on Patreon.Branden Fitelson received a Ph.D. in philosophy from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Imagine a world in which companies could secretly export toxic waste and dump it in unsuspecting communities. Until the 1992 Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and Their Disposal, there were no rules governing the international movement of toxic waste. Today, this convention ensures that such waste cannot be sent to unsuspecting recipients, particularly in the Global South. What makes this treaty so interesting to me is that it was inspired by an environmental scandal in the late 1980s, when an Italian company dumped toxic waste in the Nigerian town of Koko. The discovery of the waste sparked international outrage and led to stricter global regulations, including the Basel Convention. Joining me today to explain the impact of the Basel Convention is one of the world's foremost experts on environmental treaties, Maria Ivanova. She is the director of the School of Public Policy and Urban Affairs at Northeastern University and a professor of public policy. We kick off by discussing how this scandal led to a treaty on the international movement of hazardous waste, followed by a longer conversation about its lasting impact on the world today. This episode is produced in partnership with Lex International Fund, a philanthropic fund dedicated to strengthening international law to solve global challenges. It is part of a series that demonstrates the impact of treaties on state behavior, which we are calling "When Treaties Work."

In this episode we talk with Justin Wang Ngai Yeung, a PhD candidate at the Network Science Institute at Northeastern University in London, who explores how network science helps uncover criminal networks. Justin is also a member of the organizing committee of the satellite conference dealing with criminal networks at the network science conference in The Netherlands in June 2025. Listeners will learn how graph-based models assist law enforcement in analyzing missing data, identifying key figures in criminal organizations, and improving intervention strategies. Key insights include the challenges of incomplete and inaccurate data in criminal network analysis, how law enforcement agencies use network dismantling techniques to disrupt organized crime, and the role of machine learning in predicting hidden connections within illicit networks.   ------------------------------- Want to listen ad-free?  Try our Graphs Course?  Join Data Skeptic+ for $5 / month of $50 / year https://plus.dataskeptic.com
