Esoteric and frequently disinterested in the public good, financial institutions can be hard to navigate for those seeking to advance social welfare. My Episode 10 guest Paul Katz of the Jain Family Institute is trying to change that by building innovative tools to help visionary leaders in Brazil grow social wealth. During our lively exchange, Paul helped me understand how much history fits into his efforts and his organization's vision. We talked about Paul's discovery of his superpowers derived from a PhD in history, the importance of being a well-rounded researcher, and how it's often difficult to separate neatly quant from qual. We also discussed the significance of networking and wondered why historians routinely undervalue their expertise, thereby undercutting their chances of success in non-academic domains. Ultimately, our conversation is about the surprising ways to use history for the public good, contribute to organizational effectiveness, and explore new horizons for professional growth.

Devin: What do you see as your superpower?Paul: I thought a little bit about this because I've obviously heard the podcast before. I'm going to go with the analogy, and I'm going to say x-ray vision. By that, I mean that I can see patterns and networks of people and organizations and see how you can connect them. Out of that connection will come something that's good for them, the people they serve, and society.Paul Katz, CEO and founder of Entertain Impact, describes his business as a “social impact agency, and we use popular culture for social change.”Polio EradicationSome of Paul's big wins have been working with Rotary International and the Gates Foundation on polio eradication. Impact Entertainment developed the “We're this close” campaign that engaged public figures around the world, signaling just how close we are to eradicating polio.This global campaign featured South Korea's Psy, who gained fame for his worldwide hit Gangnam style.Bill Gates also participated. (Bill was a guest on this show to discuss polio eradication.)Archie Panjabi, who starred in The Good Wife, also participated. (She was a guest on this show as a formal part of her work on this effort.)“If we can eradicate polio, it will be the only second human disease we've ever done after—I think smallpox was the first,” Paul notes.The work wasn't strictly limited to influencers. “We did some cool activities, activations, including what became a Guinness Book of World Records [record], where we had a certain number of influencers, whether it was Jane Goodall or it was a soccer player or an actor or whomever, just say ‘We're this close.' We eventually had, I think, over 130,000 people upload.”Paul says the goal isn't really in the activity. “What you're looking for is down the line is the impact.”Still thinking of polio, he lists the sort of questions he asks to determine whether the outreach has had an impact:* Does that have a bearing on persuading governments to continue the programs?* Does it give people in the field, the field workers, the very brave ones, especially in that corner where they're under threat—does it give them more motivation? * Do they get pride from seeing this, that they're acknowledged?Measurement“There are two different types of measurement,” Paul says. “There's the financial. Did you get a good return on investment? That's fairly easy to do.”“The social return on investment, which is what I'm very interested in—it's very difficult to measure that, but it's much, much better than it was ten years ago,” he says. “You can measure it in different ways.”By way of example, he offers, “We were doing a campaign for Europe where which gets people who have kind of graduated high school but haven't launched yet. It gets them internships and trains them. About 80% of them get jobs.”Of his firm's work, he says, “We have to be very careful to be accurate and credible in what we measure.” The thought applies almost universally to those working on and measuring impact.“If you take the Rotary campaign and the partners, you can say we were just the grain of sand on the beach of this,” Paul says. “I don't want to overstate it, but you can say they and polio are gone from Africa, and they're gone from India. So that's the big, big impacts that we're a very small part of.”Paul has strategically used his superpower for big impact over his career. He metaphorically calls it x-ray vision. He's talking about his ability to see strategic connections among people and situations—and then act on the vision.How to Develop X-Ray Vision As a SuperpowerPaul shared two specific examples of using his x-ray vision for significant impact.His first example:Very recently, I was chatting to these two organizations. I was involved through a friend of mine, Tom Chapin, with an organization called Whyhunger, which is founded by his brother Harry Chapin, who was a singer who died way, way too young. This wonderful organization deals with food insecurity. Under its new leadership, it has become much more of a social justice organization. So, I've been involved with them over the years. At the same time, we work very closely with SixDegrees.org, which is an organization that Kevin Bacon founded, based upon the game, and has done wonderful things under the leadership of Stacy Houston.Kevin was hosting a TV show that came out actually co-hosting with the precise TV show that came out in 2021. They were looking for a philanthropic partner. And because I knew both of them, I introduced them. So Six Degrees was kind of the executive producer of the show on CBS. Kevin and I were the hosts, and Whyhunger was one of the two partners. The other one is also an amazing organization called the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. They both were the partners.That raised about $7 million for the organization, which, you know, has a big impact on what the work that they can do. The reason it's so top of mind was I presented an award to Six Degrees on behalf of Whyhunger on Tuesday of this week. And that was very nice to see them acknowledged by their peers. So I think that's maybe one example of the connectedness. His second example:I come out of music, and I'm still involved in music. Some of that goes into the film business, especially with Participant Media, which is the company founded by Jeff Skoll that does documentaries like the Obama one or Malala or RBG and also Green Book and Spotlight—movies that are entertaining but have substance, which is what we do. We always try and wrap our stuff up in entertaining packages, so it gets on people's radar, but it has some seriousness in that. So because of my film music work, I know the guys at Pixar, so some of the guys, the marketing guy, and we put together a thing for the Grammys called the Grammy Music Education Coalition, which was basically a coalition of different organizations in the teaching music world. About 70 people, 70 organizations, I should say. We were all concerned with the lack of music in public schools, especially for what we now call BIPOC folk. I could go on a lot, but I know we have a short podcast, but suffice to say, music has social emotional benefits and intellectual benefits that we all know about in addition to academic ones. So, I reached out to Pixar. They were doing a movie—I don't know if you remember this movie called Coco. It was an animated movie about a kid whose grandfather was like the Elvis Presley of Mexico, but he wasn't allowed music. So that connection with the Grammys and the lack of music in the schools proved to be very powerful. Pixar was fantastic, and the Grammys were fantastic. We had 200,000 or 300,000 kids involved in the program, and donations and music platforms that were were utilized and broadened. I think it made some impact, especially in, I know, Nashville, for example, Chicago, Philadelphia and parts of California. So, this connecting people who've got amazing talent. In a way, it's in music. You do talent spotting, you know, you look for the next artist that's going to express themselves musically in a wonderful way. In a way, that's what I'm kind of doing in my philanthropic and social justice work.After hearing these illuminating examples of how he uses his x-ray vision to make strategic connections, I asked him for advice for developing this ability.Paul recently finished writing a book, Good Influence, How to Engage Influencers for Purpose and Profit, that will be published in February.He offered three tips for developing or strengthening x-ray vision:* Have empathy. “First of all, on a personal level, I need to learn to listen and make sure that I'm empathetic and other people's experiences I take into account.”* Be systematic. “Secondly, I'm involved with Made in Memphis Entertainment, a Black-owned, Black-run music business. Its social mission is to engage people who have got super talent, super character, just not the networks. Mentorship is a big part of what we do. So, I think that that's important that you're systemized about it—you think about it, and you implement some proper structures around it.”* Scale up. “What I'm trying to do [in the book] is inform people and give them confidence. Organizations of whatever size, anywhere in the world, can do this. So, that's trying to do it on a larger scale than just a one-on-one or within one organization.

kagayaさんをゲストに迎え、アメリカザリガニの自発性行動開始の脳研究における単一ニューロンの膜電位活動の記録とその形態染色技術の話、超高速パンチをするシャコの研究、リカレントニューラルネットワークの機械学習フレームワークであるリザバーコンピューティングについてお話をうかがいました。 (w/ mazさん)Guest (加賀谷の研究履歴) アメリカザリガニの自発性行動開始の脳機構研究(高畑雅一lab) 行動が外部感覚刺激ではなく自発内発的に生じるとき、その開始が起こる脳内機構を調べるため、ザリガニ脳内の単一ニューロンの膜電位活動を記録、形態染色の技を卒論時から9年間継続してようやく特定のニューロンが見つかった。 シャコの超高速運動の研究(Sheila Patek lab) 神経系が身体機構を通して環境に働きかけるメカニズムの研究として、超高速パンチをするシャコを研究。 カニの行動の個性の研究(Seto Marine Biology lab) 京大白浜水族館の飼育員の原田桂太さんがカイメンで帽子をつくるカニをシャコ水槽の隣でされていて、体のわりに小さすぎる帽子をつくってるカニがいたりして、行動実験とデータ解析を計画。ベイズ統計による解析。 ソフトロボット研究(中嶋浩平 lab→國吉中嶋 lab 2022-) 科研費の新学術領域ソフトロボット学に公募班で採用されて、ソフトロボット的研究開始。中嶋さんとは京大白眉、この領域でお世話になり、現在中嶋ラボへ。 Shownotes Katsushi Kagaya maz Researchat.fm mazさん回 (ep133) … “mazさんをゲストに迎え、自身の研究の変遷を軸に、バイオメカニクスのおもしろさを話していただきました。” ゆるふわ生物学 の シャコパンチ回 カニの行動の個性の研究 ソフロボ：ソフトロボット、新学術領域ソフトロボット学 リザバー: リザバー・コンピューティング(recurrent neural networkの機械学習法のひとつ) 中嶋さんの総説 北大水泳部 kagayaさんの輝かしい水泳の記録 … 勝手に貼ってすいません！(tadasu) 北大理学部生物学科 山本貴司さん 千葉すずさん イトマンオーストラリア遠征：年に一度、全国のイトマンスイミングスクールから選抜され豪州遠征があった。 近大附属高校：近畿大学附属高等学校。当時、普通科、理数科、国際科のほか、水泳をはじめスポーツによる活動を重視するクラスもあった。 「鳥が飛ぶようにヒトは言語をつかう」Steven Pinker, Language Instinct 高畑雅一 (たかはたまさかず)： kagayaの北大在籍時の先生 アメフラシの神経：キャンデル神経科学のエリック・キャンデルのアメフラシの神経系で学習の分子機構の研究 イカの神経: ホジキンとハクスレーはじめとする活動電位の発生メカニズムの研究が念頭にありました シナプス統合作用：中枢ニューロンは、複雑な形状をもった樹状突起をもって多くの他のニューロンとシナプスを形成する。細胞でのシナプス電位の空間的時間的分布は、シナプス部位からの解剖学的距離だけでなく、三次元構造、膜・細胞質の電気的性質、電位依存型イオンチャネルによるコンダクタンス変化などの影響を受ける。シナプスでの電流が細胞内をどう拡散していくかと合わせてこれらが「神経計算の実体」に大きな影響を与える。この入出力関係(計算)を決めている諸過程をシナプス統合作用という。 ザリガニの脳：kagayaが学部4年生のときに作成したザリガニの脳の組織切片の染色像 ザリガニ論文1：Kagaya & Takahata, 2010 ザリガニ論文2：Kagaya & Takahata, 2011 細胞内記録(イントラ)：ガラス管微小電極を細胞に刺入し、主にカレントクランプで細胞内外の電位差を測る。ガラス管内に蛍光色素を充填して細胞内染色をすることが可能。 マイクロエレクトロード(ガラス管微小電極)：シャープエレクトロードともいう。クラシックな手法。パッチ電極では細胞膜を密着させるが、自然に膜がシールするのを待つ。膜が破れて細胞を破壊してしまうことも。 カレントクランプ：電流固定法。電流を固定して、電位を測る。 細胞外記録(エクストラ)：ほぼスパイク(イントラの記録の活動電位だけフィルタされた電位記録)だけの記録。電極と細胞との位置関係、その他もろもろの複雑な細胞外液の状況に依存した記録になるのでスパイクのタイミングだけをデータとすることが多い。また、近くに複数の細胞があれば複数のスパイクが混じるので一つの電極に複数のユニットが混じるのでスパイク・ソーティングする必要がある。一方、イントラではシナプス活動と同時に活動電位も記録できる。が、細胞の刺さる場所が軸索だとスパイクしか見えない。ザリガニでは樹状突起の肥厚部が主なシナプス統合部でここに刺さればシナプス活動が見える。 パッチ電極をつかったパッチクランプ イオンチャネル ルシファーイエロー 下村脩 … Researchat.fm ep112を参照 下村脩先生がクラゲを採っていた様子 … 家族とクラゲを採っていた下村先生。写真に映っているお子様の一人は伝説のハッカーTsutomu Shimomuraさんである。 下村先生のクラゲ漁の伝説 … “海岸で朝６時から夜まで毎日、家族総出でクラゲを取り続け、１７年間で８５万匹も捕獲し分析。ごく微量しか含まれないＧＦＰが光る仕組みを突き止めた。” コマンドニューロン: ザリガニコマンドニューロンのレビュー “Fifty years of a command neuron: the neurobiology of escape behavior in the crayfish” アメフラシの水管刺激によるエラの引き込み反射 光遺伝学 神経軸索：シナプス活動によって生じる活動電位は、脊椎動物の運動ニューロンでは軸索の起始部で生じる。ここは活動電位を発生するための電位依存型イオンチャネルがたくさんあって閾値が低い。脊椎動物の細胞ではシナプスからこの部位までに細胞体が介在する。一方、ザリガニなど節足動物では細胞体はこの流れから離れたところにあってシナプス統合に関与しない。よって、統合部位として肥厚した樹状突起に電極を狙って刺入してシナプス統合作用を調べることになる。シナプス統合、つまり神経計算の結果発生した活動電位は軸索を伝導する。 下行性ニューロン：脳内に細胞体と樹状突起をもっていて脳を出て胸部へと軸索を伸ばしていく。 腹髄、囲食道縦連合：梯子型神経系の腹側を通る縦連合を腹髄という。囲食道縦連合は、食道を囲んでいる縦連合。左右をつなぐ連合を横連合という。 神経計算の実体：アナログ的な神経膜電位活動の記録について、 田渕さん並木さんの比較生理2019「神経回路の自発活動パターンとその機能的役割」に詳細にまとめられています キイロショウジョウバエ：いわゆるモデル生物のひとつ。 コネクトーム HHMI Janelia デンドライトdendrite: 樹状突起のこと。 ウチダザリガニ … ウチダザリガニと染色体の話は記念すべきResearchat.fm ep1で話しています。Researchat.fmはウチダザリガニと共に始まったと言っても過言ではない。 氷冷麻酔: 昆虫ではCO2が（も？）よく使われる印象がある (maz) クチクラ：外骨格表面 おおらかな指導：先生ははじめから10年かけてもいいとは思われてはいなかった、はず。 identifiable neuron、 identified neuron 同定(可能)ニューロン: Scholapediaに期待したらまだ書かれておらず「どなたかご存命の方に書いて欲しい」というようなことが。別の個体から得られたニューロンどうしであっても生理学的、形態学的に似ていて同一視できるニューロン。運動ニューロンだと筋肉との関係で厳密な意味で同定ニューロンになる。介在ニューロン、とくに中枢のニューロンになってくると生理と形態の情報の再現性の問題で同一視しづらくなる。なお、同定ニューロンであっても個体間変異が生じる。 Leland H.

In this episode, I'm really excited to speak with cellist David Eby and to dive deeper with him in a topic that we've only mentioned a few times on the show so far and that I feel is so important and can be extremely powerful in our experience as musicians!  I'm talking about pure mindfulness! We discuss the positive effects meditation and consciousness tools can have on our practice and performance.  Among many things, you will hear about the importance of adopting unprejudiced mindsets, how you can bring more flow and joy in your playing,  develop and effective automatic response mode when facing challenges in performance, and create inspired connection in your playing by accessing a higher consciousness using David's 4-step process. We expand on: Mindfulness and consciousness in our practice - how to use these powerful tools How he got to experience that state of oneness with music in his youth The transition to college and how difficult it was to keep that magic state of being while negotiating the demands and pressures of university How harsh judgment of self and others influenced him and eventually led him to a crisis The pivotal moment that led him to pursue meditation and how it changed his life and brought him back to experience pure joy and love of music again How he studied and explored different consciousness techniques and started incorporating them in concerts, reaching a state of flow in his performance How meditation and consciousness can help us reconnect with the joy and bliss in performance (and, as a result, improve our results) Different methods of meditation How training the mind to return to the breath in meditation is training our brain to focus The automatic response mode that can help us overcome challenges in performance Hush/Heart/Lift/Flow Technique for more inspired connection in performance: o   Hush: create dynamic stillness (inner and outer silence) to better hear and feel subtleties of music o   Heart: deepen intuitive perception - open chest and heart o   Lift: engage energy - creating upward moving energy o   Flow: focus with effortless pleasure     More about David: Website: http://www.davidebymusic.com/ YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/davidceby Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheInspiredMusician/   Biography Cellist, Director, Teacher and Author “Inspiration and music came into my life at age 6 when I announced to my parents that I was going to play the cello. By 16, I was drinking up inspiration from the Tanglewood and Aspen Music Festivals and sharing inspiration onstage as soloist with the Pittsburgh Symphony. I attuned my skills at the Eastman School of Music where I received the Performer's Certificate and BM under the tutelage of Paul Katz of the Cleveland Quartet. By the time I received my MM at Indiana University under the esteemed Janos Starker, my life was resonating unconditionally with the joy of music. My first position as Principal Cellist of the Evansville Philharmonic and the Owensboro Symphony Orchestras taught me about how to share this joy in the context of leadership. As the founding cellist for the musical storytelling troupe Tales & Scales, I helped inspire the imaginations of young audiences across the nation. An introduction to the West Coast awakened within me a profound yearning for the ocean and the mountains, and I arrived in Portland in 1996 to become the founding cellist for the internationally acclaimed band Pink Martini, as well as a cellist for the Portland Opera. By 2001 an inward calling had grown so strong within me that I left everything to become Music Director at the Ananda Village in Northern California, with the singular opportunity to teach and direct a remarkable group of meditators. Each week we explored more deeply the realms of music, consciousness, inspiration, discovering the steps for achieving a consistently inspired performance. We were able to duplicate extraordinary experiences of flow in performance—where time stands still and all that exists is the joy of the music. Hollywood made a dramatic entrance into my life in 2012 when I was asked to musically direct and produce the soundtrack for the film Finding Happiness featuring Elisabeth Rohm (LA Law, American Hustle). Soon thereafter, I arrived back in Portland, where I am currently teaching Workshops for the Inspired Musician, sharing what I have learned through this 18-year journey into music and inspiration. I've sought to capture my experiences of inspiration on recordings, and my discography includes Sympathique with Pink Martini, Mystic Harp 2, Secrets of Love, Relax: Meditations for Flute and Cello, and Song of the Nightingale for Crystal Clarity Publishers, and the Finding Happiness soundtrack for Hansa Productions. I currently perform with The Bodhi Trio, the Oregon Symphony, and Portland Cello Project, teach at Lewis and Clark College, direct the Advanced Strings at Oregon Episcopal School and am a Teaching Artist for the BRAVO Youth Orchestra. I live in Southwest Portland with my wife Madhavi, daughter Caitlin and our Manx cat, Maggie.   If you enjoyed the show, please leave a review on iTunes!  I truly appreciate your support!

Fewer than three suitcases per 1,000 passengers were reported lost, damaged or delayed from January through June, a record low. But a recent spate of stories concerning musical instruments on airplanes suggests that the skies aren't always friendly for musicians.  Paul Katz, a former member of the Cleveland Quartet, recently experienced a particularly dramatic incident involving his 1669 Andrea Guarneri cello and a flight from Calgary to Los Angeles operated by WestJet, which partners with American and Delta, among other carriers. "I was even pre-boarded. I got the royal treatment,” Katz tells host Naomi Lewin in this podcast. Then one of the flight attendants came and told him the airline "had a policy that cellos were not allowed on board and that I’d have to leave. So that started a lot of shenanigans. I begged, I pleaded, I got mad, I got sad, I did everything." Eventually, Katz agreed to let the airline stow the cello in the luggage hold below the wing. “As the plane took off, it was the bumpiest runway you could imagine," Katz continued. "Then we got up in the air and after a few minutes they discontinued beverage service because there was so much turbulence. At this point my imagination started going completely crazy. I was near a breakdown because I thought 'how could I have ever done this?' The stupidest thing I’ve ever done in my life was to give them my instrument.” (WestJet countered in a statement that "the seat and its restraint system are designed and rated for a person.") The incident drew widespread attention after Katz wrote about it in an article for the Boston Globe, and it raised new questions of how airlines set their own rules about which musical instruments are allowed on board. Cellos are particularly problematic, not being able to fit in overhead bins and generally requiring their own seat. This comes as the Paris-based International Federation of Musicians (FIM) has launched an online petition with the aim of persuading EU legislators to take action on the issue of musical instruments on planes. The organization, which represents 72 musicians' unions worldwide, is calling for Europe to follow the example of the US, which earlier this year introduced a uniform musical instrument policy for airlines. Still, the "passenger bill of rights" which passed in congress in February is not without loopholes. As Rose Hirschel, the owner of the travel agency Musicians' Travel Services, explained, while the bill is a tremendous advance, “it has a stipulation for each carrier to judge whether each instrument is safe on the aircraft. It will help a lot but it certainly will not be a panacea.” James H. Burnett III is a culture writer for the Boston Globe who recently examined the rules governing carry-on luggage. Considering Katz’s experience, he is not overly optimistic that the rules will become clearer. “Given that ultimately this is a government bureaucracy we’re seeing, which means more red tape wrapped around more red tape. So I don’t see any serious change in the near future." Listen to the full discussion above - which includes tips on boarding the plane more quickly and smoothly - and share your thoughts below.
