Podcasts about Osu

Things Discussed: Surprised how fast they're speed-running into a 24-team Playoff. They're on a gold rush now because they discovered they can draw out all the goodwill and passion obtained from 100 years of this being a good deal. Jordan Marshall: Excited to be a captain because it's about bringing people together. Said it's why we beat OSU 13-10, and that OSU had to become more connected to come back and beat them. THAT is what it's about. Seeing nugs of the good college football we're here for all over the place. M's front seven next year? Not natty-level because not enough superstars. LBs are so young—liked NOB and Chase last year more for freshmen. Staehling doesn't do it for me. Think their depth is shaky. Team is a work in progress. Who's the best player on the defense this year? We can't answer it. Reviewing Wink: Was too clever. I have a greater appreciation for the collaborative nature of football. Bring back Doug Mallory as an analyst. He's a nerd, like Kyle Church or Jay Harbaugh, just doesn't put himself forward enough. Nicknaming: Moustapha Thiam is Moose. Hockey guys all get a –y, except Seth who was Fat Fish. Boynton presser: seemed to have a handle on things. Confident, relaxed. VERY happy to have Kyle Church around; Brown was a Dusty guy. First impressions of new guys: Costello can SHOOT and is a real 6-10. Different types of dudes you encounter in different sports. What do you want to hear from Media Days? Bryce is getting it, mention guys we haven't heard before.

This date in history, bad news for the Bengals already in training camp, Quick Hitter: NFL Power Rankings, Bobby talks about OSU football's mentorship program, we hear from Ryan Day at Big Ten media days, our CFB preview with Ya Highness continues, and we couldn't take any breaks in our second hour so a good bit of randomness mixed in there.

A new farming practice should earn a producer's confidence before it is trusted with an entire field. Oklahoma State University Extension specialists Brian Arnall, Ph.D., and Josh Lofton, Ph.D., explain how small-plot research becomes practical agronomic guidance for Oklahoma producers. They discuss replication, field variability, statistical confidence, and the steps researchers take before recommending changes involving nitrogen, plant population, varieties, or other crop-management decisions. They also explain why on-farm cooperators and producer-run trials are critical for testing whether research results hold up under commercial conditions. Key takeaways: Small plots help researchers isolate treatment effects by reducing differences in soil, rainfall, pests and field management. A large field demonstration may look convincing, but without replication it can be difficult to separate a treatment response from normal field variability. Results should usually be repeated across multiple years, locations, soil types and weather conditions before becoming a broad recommendation. Researchers may require greater confidence when a recommendation would significantly change established practices or put a producer's return on investment at risk. Producers can manage adoption risk by testing a new practice on a few strips or limited acres before applying it across the operation. Detailed Timestamped Rundown: 00:00–02:13 — Episode introduction and research question Dave Deken introduces the discussion of “big science on small acres” and previews how small-plot trials become real-world recommendations. Brian Arnall and Josh Lofton are introduced along with their OSU Extension roles.02:16–05:09 — Why researchers use small plots Arnall explains that an entire trial may fit within roughly a quarter acre. The smaller area allows researchers to keep treatments on similar soil and under comparable rainfall, pest pressure and environmental conditions. Small plots also make it possible to test many treatments with several replications.05:09–08:19 — Matching plot size to field variability Lofton explains that researchers must decide whether to minimize variability with smaller plots or include more variability within longer plots. Forage research may require longer plots, while detailed plant-physiology questions may be studied in one-foot-by-one-foot microplots.08:21–10:14 — Demonstrations versus replicated science Large demonstrations can show whether a practice appears workable across several acres, but they may not provide strong scientific evidence without replication. Researchers are cautious about using a producer's land for an idea that may reduce yield or profitability.10:14–13:26 — Testing across years and environments A practice that works repeatedly near Stillwater may respond differently in western Oklahoma's sandy soils or the wetter, heavier soils of northeastern Oklahoma. Researchers distinguish between an observation, a tentative practice to try and a formal recommendation.13:26–16:19 — Blocking, variety trials and experimental tradeoffs Lofton describes how treatments are grouped into blocks so each treatment experiences a comparable environment. Trials containing too many varieties can stretch across changing soils and conditions, so researchers may divide varieties into separate maturity groups.16:19–19:15 — Statistical error and recommendation risk The group discusses the possibility of concluding that a treatment works when it does not, or concluding that it does not work when it actually does. Arnall emphasizes the risk of recommending a product or practice that fails to produce a dependable return.19:15–22:10 — Why confidence standards can change Lofton and Arnall discuss the difference between 90% and 95% confidence. The appropriate threshold depends on the research question, the quality of the field conditions and the consequences of being wrong. Major changes to accepted practices demand stronger evidence.22:10–24:22 — Evidence behind major management changes The speakers compare agricultural risk with the much higher certainty required in medicine and engineering. Arnall says he had approximately six years of data before becoming highly vocal about delaying some nitrogen applications.24:22–26:54 — Challenging assumptions and explaining mechanisms Researchers do not rely on statistics alone. They ask whether a result makes biological and agronomic sense, discuss it with colleagues and collect additional plant or soil measurements to explain why it occurred.26:54–29:44 — Scientific disagreement strengthens recommendations Arnall and Lofton explain that members of the research team frequently disagree about mechanisms and interpretations. Those arguments continue until the data support a consistent OSU recommendation. Repeating work with different students or projects can provide additional confirmation.29:46–32:10 — Moving research into producer fields The discussion returns to the progression from controlled plots to practical use. Some practices move into formal demonstrations, while others are tested through a few producer-applied passes or strips. Starting with a limited area gives producers a way to evaluate an unfamiliar practice without risking the whole operation.32:10–34:31 — Why farmer-hosted small plots matter Arnall emphasizes that many small plots are located on commercial farms rather than research stations. These sites provide different soils, management histories and production environments, although the plots can create extra work for the cooperating producer.34:31–35:30 — Helping producers become experimenters Lofton describes producers who begin with one research project and then start conducting their own field demonstrations. County Extension educators can help producers establish useful comparisons and interpret the results.35:30–37:20 — Building a statewide cooperator network Arnall discusses working with different groups of cooperators over time and matching projects with farms that provide the appropriate crop, soil, management system and region. This network improves the relevance of OSU agronomy research.37:20–38:22 — Closing thoughts The episode concludes with appreciation for producer cooperators and an invitation for listeners to visit Red Dirt Agronomy, submit questions and learn more about the research discussed on the program.

With roots in eastern and western Oklahoma, Bob Blackburn graduated from Southwestern State College with a degree in History before earning his Masters and Doctorate degrees in History from Oklahoma State University. At the time of his graduation from OSU in 1979 he already had published his first of 26 books and discovered the new field of historic preservation. That same year he began a career in public history as editor of The Chronicles of Oklahoma, the journal of the Oklahoma Historical Society. In 1989 he was named deputy director and a decade later became executive director. Under his leadership, with a widening circle of mentors, colleagues, and partners, Blackburn developed a new business plan for all Oklahoma Historical Society operations that included a combination of state investment, private donations, and self-supporting sustainability. Among his accomplishments are the Oklahoma History Center, the Oklahoma Route 66 Museum, the Cherokee Strip Regional Heritage Center, the Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History and Culture, the Battle of Washita Monument as part of the National Park Service, and the Gateway to Oklahoma History—a rapidly growing digital universe of newspapers, photographs, manuscripts, and documents accessible to everyone at no cost. Blackburn's contributions have been honored by the Oklahoma Center for Nonprofits, Leadership Oklahoma and Oklahoma City, Putnam City Schools, Southwestern Oklahoma State University, OSU, the Journalism Hall of Fame, and the Higher Education Hall of Fame, among countless others. He is married to educator and former state legislator Debbie Blackburn. Together they have one son, Beau, daughter-in-law Tori, and two grandsons, Bodhi and Waylon.

Across the globe, millions of people continue to face systemic discrimination, exclusion, and unequal opportunities based entirely on their inherited status, descent, or ancestral occupation. While deeply associated with the caste system in South Asia, these rigid intergenerational hierarchies affect diverse global populations, including the Roma in Europe, Haratine in Africa, Buraku in Japan, Osu in Nigeria, and Quilombola and Palenque communities in Latin America. Despite distinct cultural origins, these groups share a common reality of deep-seated social stigma, occupational segregation, and severe barriers to basic human rights.

A new veterinary hospital is coming to one of OSU's most visible agricultural sites, but the crop research Oklahoma producers rely on is not going away. OSU Department of Plant and Soil Sciences head Wade Thomason, Ph.D., joins Dave Deken, Brian Arnall, Ph.D., and Josh Lofton, Ph.D. to explain what is changing at the Agronomy Research Station, which long-term plots will be protected, and why good soil, irrigation, and proximity to campus cannot simply be replaced. They also walk through plans for new greenhouses, field laboratories, teaching space, soil and forage testing, plant disease diagnostics, and a possible summer 2028 move. Key takeaways: The historic Magruder Plots and other long-term fertility trials are not planned for development. The veterinary hospital is expected to use the area where the current agronomy buildings stand. Approximately 20 to 50 acres of other research ground may need to be replaced nearby. New facilities could bring wheat breeding, crop quality testing, field research and diagnostic services into a more efficient system. The modernization is designed to improve research, hands-on student education and service to Oklahoma producers. Detailed timestamped rundown 00:00–01:54 — Episode setup and field event invitation Dave introduces the debate over the Agronomy Research Station, the veterinary hospital project and the future of research and teaching at the site. He also previews the July 27 Summer Crop Demo Day near Chickasha.01:54–02:32 — Participant introductions Brian Arnall and Josh Lofton are introduced before the recorded conversation with Wade Thomason begins.02:32–04:18 — What is happening to the agronomy farm? The group addresses months of concern and confirms that the veterinary hospital is expected to occupy the footprint where the existing agronomy buildings stand.04:18–05:59 — Are the Magruder Plots safe? The long-term fertility trials are identified as irreplaceable scientific resources. The discussion makes clear that the Magruder Plots and other longstanding trials have not been offered for development.05:59–08:29 — Why agronomy cannot simply move anywhere Thomason explains the requirements for productive research ground: proximity to campus, student access, suitable soil, little slope, a location outside the floodplain and dependable irrigation supplied through the OSU water system.08:29–10:12 — Why the plots must remain near campus The station supports hands-on classes, weed identification, breeding programs, frequent crop observations and technologies such as drone imagery. Moving those activities farther away would reduce efficiency and student access.10:12–12:29 — The original farm layout had a purpose The group explains how soils, slope, wind direction, water and animal needs shaped the placement of agricultural programs. The land was not assigned randomly.12:29–14:45 — Prime real estate and agricultural history Dave describes the corner as emotionally significant to people connected with OSU agriculture. The group acknowledges that reaction while explaining the university's effort to create room for both agronomy and veterinary medicine.14:45–17:03 — The rebuild is three connected projects Plans include a greenhouse and headhouse complex, new agronomy research operations and an education and laboratory center. Wheat breeding, wheat pathology, Extension, turfgrass and ornamental horticulture are among the programs discussed.17:03–19:13 — New homes for producer services The proposed education center could include classrooms, conference space, the Soil, Water and Forage Analytical Laboratory and the Plant Disease and Insect Diagnostic Laboratory. Both laboratories currently face significant space and access limitations.19:13–22:14 — Proposed locations and the 2028 target The conversation covers possible locations on the existing sheep and goat property, the likely order of construction and the need to move agronomy operations before the existing buildings can be removed. The target is summer 2028.22:14–23:43 — Learning from other land-grant universities The planning team studied facilities at Kansas State, Purdue, Nebraska, Texas A&M, Georgia and Tennessee to identify useful designs and avoid problems those institutions encountered.23:43–27:22 — Designing around the work, not old walls The proposed greenhouses may have less total square footage but greater usable capacity through rolling benches, better lighting and ventilation. Other improvements include a pull-through seed warehouse, integrated wheat quality space, improved cotton processing, chemical storage and shared drying and grinding areas.27:22–31:27 — Shared space, compromises and adaptation The faculty discuss the benefits and frustrations of shared work areas. Some programs may gain more than others, but the experience of OSU's newer Agricultural Hall suggests shared facilities can improve communication and the student experience.31:27–34:34 — Balancing program needs and limited space The conversation continues into how researchers will adjust their workflows, which needs must be prioritized and how the new construction will affect existing research acreage.34:34–35:57 — How much land could be displaced? The working estimate is approximately 20 to 50 acres. Options include nearby purchases, existing OSU land and other research sites; the department does not expect to replace the entire 185-acre main station.35:57–37:09 — Other research locations and sheep facilities Land near Perkins and a university property east of Billings could provide additional research opportunities. The project may also accelerate plans for a new sheep and goat facility.37:09–39:09 — State funding and possible federal support The episode describes a $40 million legislative allocation tied to a $10 million OSU match. The team also plans to pursue a federal research-facilities grant of up to $30 million, which could bring the potential project budget near $80 million. The federal award was not guaranteed at the time of recording.39:09–41:42 — Private support and practical details Previously pledged greenhouse support is discussed as part of OSU's match, followed by lighter conversation about equipment, refrigerators and the research team's preferred ice machine.41:42–43:36 — A working name and final thoughts The group closes with the working name “Agronomy Research Discovery Center,” thanks Wade for the update and directs listeners to Red Dirt Agronomy for future information.

Despite wildfires becoming more frequent and intense, little is known about how wildlife responds to the threats they present. Researchers at Oregon State University are attempting to shed some light on the issue.    A recent study looked at how wildfire smoke affected the behavior of robins. Instead of simply fleeing the smoky conditions, the birds often reduced their activity and shortened their flight distances to remain in their home environments.   Jamie Cornelius is an associate professor in the department of integrative biology at OSU and principal investigator of the university’s Little Bird Lab. She joins us to talk about what scientists are learning about how different wildlife species respond to wildfire.

REBEL Rundown Key Points Mastery Learning: A unique educational framework focusing on achieving high competence with minimal variability among learners. Deliberate Practice: Involves learner-driven improvement, guided by expert feedback and breaking skills down into micro steps. Psychological Safety: Essential in mastery learning, allowing open feedback without fear or shame, enhancing growth. Embrace the productive struggle!  Practice to Prevent Skill Decay and Improve Clinically: Application of mastery learning principles helps maintain high proficiency levels in both common and rare procedures. Click here for Direct Download of the Podcast. Previously Covered and Related Content: REBEL MIND: The Dunning-Kruger EffectREBEL MIND: Growth vs Fixed Mindset Introduction Welcome back to Rebel MIND, the podcast where we sharpen the person behind the practitioner. MIND stands for Mastering Internal Negativity during Difficulty. This series emphasizes productivity, provider performance, and team optimization to ensure we are at our best during high-pressure situations. In this episode, host Dr. Kim Bambach chats with master educator Dr. Jennifer Yee about the science of performance through mastery learning and deliberate practice. Jennifer Yee, DO is an associate residency program director for OSU Emergency Medicine, the OSU EM director for assessment and evaluation, and an associate professor of emergency medicine.  She is from Akron, Ohio and earned her bachelor degree from Ohio University and her medical degree through the Ohio University College of Medicine. Her residency training was completed through Summa Akron City Hospital. After serving as chief resident, she completed a simulation medicine fellowship at Summa.She completed Northwestern's Designing and Implementing Simulation-Based Mastery-Learning Curricula, as well as Ohio State's Master of Art's program in Biomedical Education. She established a mastery-based procedural curriculum for OSU’s EM residency program before creation of an institution-wide mastery-based central venous catheter (CVC) curriculum for all housestaff expected to place CVCs during their clinical training. Cognitive Question How can use the principles of mastery learning as better benchmark for learning, performance, and patient safety? How can we practice deliberately? What is Mastery Learning? Unlike traditional clinical training, which is time-bound (e.g., “you are competent after a 3-year residency” or “after 10 chest tubes”), Mastery Learning is outcome-bound. The goal is to get every single learner from their unique baseline to an identical, objectively high level of performance with minimal variation. In this framework, learners start with a pre-brief, followed by baseline assessment, targeted debrief, deliberate practice, and a final evaluation using a checklist with a strict minimum passing standard (often set via methods like the Mastery Angoff). The mastery learning framework has been shown to improve patient safety.The Northwestern Central Line Study: Research demonstrated that requiring residents to achieve a set benchmark on a simulator prior to clinical performance led to fewer needle passes, a decrease in mechanical complications (such as accidental arterial punctures), and a subsequent reduction in catheter-associated infection rates in the intensive care unit.High-Acuity, Low-Occurrence (HALO) Procedures: Studies have demonstrated that for rare, critical procedures like emergency cricothyrotomies or transvenous pacing, baseline testing shows that very few trainees can meet a standard passing score initially. However, following targeted simulation training and deliberate practice, 100% of participants successfully achieved the minimum standard required to perform the procedure competently. The Anatomy of Deliberate Practice We often assume experience or confidence equals competence, but humans are notoriously poor self-assessors (plug for our Dunning-Kruger episode!). True deliberate practice isn’t just repeating a task for 10,000 hours; it is purposeful, learner-driven micro-skill improvement guided by an expert coach.High-Quality Feedback: Avoid vague phrases like “good job” or “read more.” Effective coaching relies on strictly objective, real-time observations (e.g., “I am watching your needle angle. If you enter the skin more steeply, you will hit the vessel faster”).Embrace a Growth Mindset: Stripping away your ego to be silently watched and critiqued  is inherently awkward. Normalize deliberate practice to create psychological safety. Overcoming this requires building an environment centered on patient safety, where baselines are treated as data points rather than judgments. True growth happens with the “productive struggle”.Adaptive Expertise: True mastery means moving past a rigid checklist. It requires learners to understand the reasoning behind their actions and anticipate next steps, complications, and plot twists in real time. Immediate Action Steps for Your Next Shift **Reflect on Personal Goals**: Identify specific clinical skills you wish to improve and set objectives.  **Seek Expert Feedback**: Find a mentor or coach for guided practice and objective feedback on your skills.  **Cultivate Psychological Safety**: Foster an environment where discussing mistakes and receiving feedback is viewed as growth rather than criticism.  **Practice Adaptively**: Introduce scenarios with atypical anatomy,  complications, plot twists to better prepare for real-world complexity.  Conclusion By focusing on specific skill improvement and welcoming constructive feedback, clinicians can build competence and confidence, ultimately improving performance and patient safety. Effective mastery learning hinges on creating psychologically safe learning environments, engaging in focused deliberate practice, and leveraging expert feedback. This approach can be applied to clinical procedural excellence as well as many other skills, including communication and team dynamics. Clinical Bottom Line Mastery learning is an outcome-bound framework to reach a high standard of performance and deliberate practice is the tool that can help you achieve that high performance through expert feedback.

There has been a lot of speculation about the future direction of college sports, and whether the top teams in the nation could ultimately break off from the traditional conference structure to form a Super League. Ohio State would unquestionably be included in any plans along those lines, but is that something the Buckeyes want to see happen?In this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, you'll hear the answer to that question directly from Ohio State athletic director Ross Bjork. Plus, would the reported plans to pool media rights across conferences cost the Buckeyes money? And could OSU get backed into a corner and be forced to do something it doesn't really want to?Today's episode is sponsored by Jeff Ruby's Columbus, the award-winning, upscale steakhouse in Downtown Columbus, named one of the Top 50 steakhouses in America by Food Network.

When Stillwater was only about 4 miles wide with mostly dusty or muddy roads, he realized the town would grow, and land would increase in value, so he purchased 35 acres and built several commercial buildings.Through cars and land, Owen Thomas made a positive impact on Stillwater, Oklahoma.

Save Ocean Sensors: The Fight Over the Ocean Observatories Initiative A $386 million network of nearly 900 ocean sensors stretching across five sites from Oregon to Alaska to Greenland was being quietly dismantled, with no warning to Congress and no explanation to the public. In this episode, we trace the fight to save the Ocean Observatories Initiative: what this network actually does, why it matters far more than most people realize, and how a Democrat from Oregon and a Republican from Alaska teamed up to pass a bill stopping it in the span of a day and a half. We talk with Craig McLean, who spent more than 40 years at NOAA, including two stints as NOAA's Chief Scientist, about what's really at stake when ocean monitoring infrastructure disappears, and why this fight is part of a much bigger pattern. We also revisit a warning from a past guest, marine ecologist Dr. Andrew Thaler, that's looking less hypothetical by the day, and lay out exactly what you can do to help make sure this win sticks. In This Episode What the Ocean Observatories Initiative actually measures, and why it matters for your weather forecast, your insurance rates, and what farmers plant each season The Coastal Endurance Array off Oregon and Washington, and why pulling it out right as an El Nino forms is especially bad timing, per OSU oceanographer Jack Barth How Senators Jeff Merkley (D-OR) and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) found out sensors were already being removed, and how they got the Saving the OOI Act passed unanimously in under two days Craig McLean's read on why this kept happening, from the role of the Office of Management and Budget to the broader pattern of cuts to federal science A look back at a warning from marine ecologist Dr. Andrew Thaler about Project 2025's plans for NOAA, and how that warning is playing out in real time What happens next: the NSF's review process, and how you can track it and find out where your own senators stand Featured Voices Craig McLean spent over 40 years at NOAA, where he founded the Ocean Exploration Program and served as NOAA's Chief Scientist, including being reinstated after being removed from the role for defending scientific integrity. He is now a senior fellow at the Ocean Foundation. Senator Jeff Merkley (D-OR) and Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) led the bipartisan push for the Saving the OOI Act, featured here via Senate floor remarks. Dr. Andrew Thaler, marine ecologist and conservation technologist, returns in spirit from a past episode where he broke down Project 2025's plans to dismantle NOAA. Jack Barth, oceanography professor at Oregon State University, provided background on the Coastal Endurance Array via KATU News. The Bill The Saving the OOI Act passed the Senate unanimously, pausing NSF's decommissioning of the Ocean Observatories Initiative pending a full review with stakeholder input. It was led by Senators Merkley and Murkowski and cosponsored by Senators Dan Sullivan (R-AK), Maria Cantwell (D-WA), Ron Wyden (D-OR), Jack Reed (D-RI), Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), Patty Murray (D-WA), Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Edward J. Markey (D-MA), and Chris Van Hollen (D-MD).
