The 365 Days of Astronomy, the daily podcast of the International Year of Astronomy 2009
Episode 323. Hosted by Chris Beckett & Shane Ludtke, two amateur astronomers in Saskatchewan. actualastronomy@gmail.com Bio: Berta Beltran is a visual observer from Edmonton Alberta where she sketches mostly from her backyard or a dark cemetery site when time is available. Berta has a PhD in particle Physics and has worked at CERN. Currently working on a Nutrino project. She also works as an Outreach Assistant at the University of Alberta. Berta sketches everything she sees through her telescopes, from the Sun, Moon and Planets to Deep Sky Objects and Comets. We have been having a knowledge exchange where she has been providing me advice on some new sketching tools and techniques while bouncing some telescope ideas off us as she pursued a new refractor. So I thought, heck let's just bring you on the show and have a proper chat. We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.

A fun time was had by all (you can tell right away- there’s a LOT of laughing) and the gang promises to return with more great questions in May, so start stargazing tonight, and get your questions ready & tune in again in May when YOU can ASK THE ASTRONOMERS!!! About the Astronomers: John Read fell in love with astronomy in his late twenties after viewing Saturn in a $13 telescope from the pharmacy. A few years later, he quit his job in the Fortune 500 to become a full-time astrophysics student, author, and father of three. ASK JOHN MORE SPACE QUESTIONS: John@LearnToStargaze.com Samantha Jewett is the Outreach Assistant at the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada’s (RASC) National Office.

A contemporary challenge is inequality, which is reinforced when it’s taken for granted. But, it can be disrupted when marginalised people gain self-esteem; challenge hitherto unquestioned inequalities; and gain confidence in the possibility of social change. These ideas are illustrated with ethnographic research from Latin America, where income inequality has recently declined. By highlighting some ways in which ideas matter, Alice Evans’ paper on Politicising Inequality: The Power of Ideas, seeks to persuade political economists to go beyond ‘incentives’. She suggests that future efforts to tackle inequality might harness the power of ideas: tackling ‘norm perceptions’ (beliefs about what others think and do); publicising positive deviance; and strengthening social movements. Today on CID’s Speaker Series podcast, Katya Gonzalez-Willette, Events and Outreach Assistant at CID, interviews Alice Evans, Associate at the Building State Capability program at CID and Lecturer at Kings College London, who provides further insight on why ideas matter for curbing inequality and how social mobilisation can catalyse greater government commitment to socially inclusive economic growth. // www.bsc.cid.harvard.edu // Interview recorded on November 1, 2018. About Alice Evans: Alice Evans is writing a book on "The Global Politics of Decent Work". Through comparative research on strengthening corporate accountability, Alice explores how to resolve global collective action problems and improve workers' rights. She has published on the causes of falling inequality in Latin America; social movements; rising support for gender equality; cities as catalysts of social change; and the politics of maternal mortality. She is a Lecturer at King's College London, with previous appointments at Cambridge and the LSE.
Susan Snow was not able to host “Ins & Outs of Assisted Living” but we are thankful to her for recording the interview without the event. Event Description Susan has been at Youville Place for nearly two years helping families and new residents make a smooth transition to assisted living. She worked for 15 years as Project Manager for a national human services firm helping families find the supports that they needed. Her interest in working with older adults later led to a position as Outreach Assistant with the Lexington Senior Center. A long-time resident of Arlington, Susan enjoys biking, kayaking, and birding. In the summer she might be found at Little Lake Sunapee in New Hampshire with family and friends. She especially enjoys spending time with the littlest family members — four girls and two boys between the ages of 1 and 6, as well as numerous cats and dogs!
