For many of us, movies offer our earliest lessons in love and help shape our expectations about what romance and relationships might look like. Relationship researchers Paul Eastwick, PhD, and Eli Finkel, PhD, are cohosts of the podcast “Love Factually,” where they use psychology to dissect their favorite rom coms. They talked to “Speaking of Psychology” about how films depict dating and relationship truths and myths, and how well our favorite characters' love stories hold up when analyzed through the lens of science.

This week's Misfit Entrepreneur is Skye Waterson. If you've ever struggled with traditional productivity systems or felt like your brain just doesn't fit the mold, Skye's story and work will be a game-changer. She's the founder of Unconventional Organisation, an ADHD support and coaching service designed to help entrepreneurs and executives build focused, sustainable success—without burnout. Diagnosed with ADHD while completing her PhD, Skye realized that the usual productivity advice wasn't built for minds like hers.

Her podcast The ADHD Skills Lab has over 200,000 downloads, and her web articles have reached more than a quarter million readers. ​ Skye's belief is that ADHD isn't a flaw to overcome—it's a different operating system that, when properly supported, can be a massive asset. And through her work with founders, executives, and creatives, she's helping people rewire their approach to focus, consistency, and scale. www.unconventionalorganisation.com/ Show Sponsors: Entrepreneurs, what if there was a way to know you were hiring the best salespeople to drive your business?

My guest for Episode #531 of the Lean Blog Interviews Podcast is Dr. Melisa Buie, a seasoned operations and engineering leader with decades of experience in high-tech manufacturing. Episode page with video, transcript, and more Melisa has held senior roles at companies like Lam Research, Applied Materials, and Coherent, where she led large-scale Lean transformations and helped drive cultural change across global operations. With a PhD in nuclear engineering and plasma physics, Melisa brings a rare combination of technical depth and people-centered leadership to her work. In this episode, we explore Melisa's Lean journey — from her early days in Six Sigma to becoming a global Lean leader at Coherent. She shares how her perspective shifted from project-based improvement to empowering teams with daily problem-solving skills. Melisa discusses the critical role of psychological safety in building a continuous improvement culture, and how giving people "permission to improve" must be backed by leadership behavior and support. We also touch on the challenges of applying Lean principles in complex, low-volume/high-mix manufacturing environments and why principles still matter more than tools. We also discuss Melisa's book Problem Solving for New Engineers, written to bridge the gap between academic preparation and the real-world challenges engineers face in industry. She previews her upcoming book, Faceplant: Free Yourself from Failure's Funk, which tackles the emotional side of failure and how we can grow through it. Whether you're a Lean leader, a coach, or an engineer just starting out, this episode is packed with valuable insights on leadership, learning, and making improvement accessible for everyone. Questions, Notes, and Highlights: How did you first get involved with Lean or Six Sigma? Which books influenced you early in your Lean journey? How did your company shift from project-based Six Sigma to a Lean culture? Where did the push for culture change come from—top-down or grassroots? What role did you play in leading Lean at Coherent? What does it mean to “give people permission to improve,” and why is that necessary? How do leaders create psychological safety to support continuous improvement? How did your background in nuclear engineering and plasma physics lead to a career in semiconductors and lasers? How do Lean principles apply in low-volume, high-mix environments? What inspired you to write Problem Solving for New Engineers? How does the book help bridge the gap between university labs and industry problem solving? Why is experimentation and scientific thinking often missing in workplace culture? How do you explain the value of iterative cycles like PDSA to new engineers? What is design of experiments (DOE), and how does it improve problem solving? When is it helpful to let people run experiments with predictable outcomes? How did your second book, Faceplant: Free Yourself from Failure's Funk, come about? Why do people fear failure in personal life but accept it in professional settings? How can we reframe failure as a learning opportunity rather than something to avoid? How do you personally deal with failure and setbacks, like learning a foreign language? This podcast is part of the #LeanCommunicators network. 

The World is Born From Zero is an investigation into the relationship between video games and science fiction through the philosophy of speculation. Cameron Kunzelman (Mercer University, Macon, Georgia, USA) argues that the video game medium is centered on the evaluation and production of possible futures by following video game studies, media philosophy, and science fiction studies to their furthest reaches. Claiming that the best way to understand games is through rigorous formal analysis of their aesthetic strategies and the cultural context those strategies emerge from, Kunzelman investigates a diverse array of games like The Last of Us, VA-11 Hall-A, and Civilization VI in order to explore what science fiction video games can tell us about their genres, their ways of speculating, and how the medium of the video game does (or does not) direct us down experiential pathways that are both oppressive and liberatory. Taking a multidisciplinary look at these games, The World is Born From Zero offers a unique theorization of science fiction games that provides both science fiction studies and video game studies with new tools for thinking how this medium and mode inform each other. Rudolf Thomas Inderst (*1978) enjoys video games since 1985. He received a master's degree in political science, American cultural studies as well as contemporary and recent history from Ludwig-Maximilians-University, Munich and holds two PhDs in game studies (LMU & University of Passau). Currently, he's teaching as a professor for game design and game studies at the HNU University of Applied Sciences Neu-Ulm, Germany, has submitted his third dissertation at the University of Vechta, holds the position as lead editor at the online journal Titel kulturmagazin for the game section, hosts the German local radio show Replay Value and is editor of the weekly game research newsletter DiGRA D-A-CH Game Studies Watchlist.

How do some leaders show up, almost effortlessly, with a proactive point of view and clear messaging? I'd bet you money that for most, it's a matter of intention and skill-building, not just natural talent! The ability to balance warmth, confidence, and competence is not just within reach for extroverts, either, according to today's guest.Today, Laura Camacho and I talk about what executive presence means (it's not just how nice your suit fits!), how empathy relates to executive presence, specific challenges for more introverted leaders to increase their empathy, and what the C-suite is looking for to promote someone internally. Laura shares that the true purpose of executive presence is to help others have confidence in YOU as a leader, and she shares some tools on how to be clearer and empathetic in your messaging, as well as tips to mentor others, especially introverts. To access the episode transcript, please search for the episode title at www.TheEmpathyEdge.comKey Takeaways:You have to be both a storyteller and a data driver. It is not a hard binary. Even the most analytical people are driven by emotion.If you are stressing about saying something badly, say it anyway - it likely won't be bad, and you can always course correct on the off-chance that it is.Prepare in advance to speak out in meetings about your domain. Be prepared to speak up early and with structure. "Connection, competence, and confidence - you need all of those. You cannot have executive presence without empathy." — Laura CamachoFrom Our Partner:SparkEffect partners with organizations to unlock the full potential of their greatest asset: their people.

New York lawmakers have passed a bill that would require mental health warning labels on social media platforms with “addictive” design. It's a first-in-the-nation move.

Racquel and her guests explore the potential consequences of the legislation, what the research says about tech and mental health, and how families are navigating an increasingly digital world.Our guests: Kathleen P. Allen, PhD, researcher, educator, and author of "Stuck in Our Screens" Noelle Evans, education reporter for WXXI News Julie Scelfo, founder and executive director of Mothers Against Media Addiction(MAMA)

When Lisa Cummins Dulchinos joined Ayar Labs, she knew translating deep tech into a business story would be central to her role. At a company where 85% of the nearly 200 employees hold PhDs, Dulchinos found herself among experts fluent in micro-ring resonators and laser physics. To explain what Ayar Labs does, she took a different approach. “It's basically a computer chip that allows us to open up the bandwidth in a computing system,” she tells us.That chiplet—named TeraPHY—replaces traditional copper wiring with optics, using lasers to transfer data more efficiently. Dulchinos describes it with a relatable analogy: “There's traffic on a highway…you open up and add more lanes.” This optical solution not only alleviates the data bottleneck but also delivers measurable benefits: “It decreases the amount of power required by four to eight times, increases the bandwidth almost 10 times, [and] reduces latency,” she tells us.What drew Dulchinos to Ayar Labs is also what defines her leadership: the intersection of technical complexity and strategic clarity. She frames the customer value in terms of “tokens per second, per dollar, per watt,” highlighting how improved throughput leads to greater profitability. Though the solution may cost more upfront, Dulchinos emphasizes its long-term value: “It decreases their total cost of ownership.”By making the science digestible and the business case undeniable, Dulchinos reveals not just what Ayar Labs builds—but how finance can illuminate innovation.

Women have been central to the evolution of dance music culture since its earliest days, yet their contributions have often been overlooked. From Régine Zylberberg's pioneering work in creating the modern discotheque in 1950s Paris to Sharon White's trailblazing presence at New York's legendary venues in the 1970s, female DJs have shaped dance floors worldwide. Sharon White broke barriers as a Black queer radio DJ, finding her way into the booth at the Paradise Garage in 1975. She became the first female DJ to play at the revered Saint club and spun records at Studio 54. Her influence can be seen in later pioneers like London's Smokin' Jo, who emerged from the British acid house scene to become one of England's most celebrated DJs and the only woman to be awarded DJ of the Year in DJ Magazine's Top 100. In the second episode of Season Two of Soundscapes NYC, hosts Ryan Purcell and Kristie Soares welcome DJ, academic, and journalist Lulu Le Vay to explore the often-untold stories of women in dance music culture. Le Vay, who holds a PhD in Sociology from Goldsmiths and performs as DJ Lulu Levan, represents a new generation of "PhDJs" combining academic inquiry with dance floor experience.

Dr. Jon Finn wrote his best-selling book ‘The Habit Mechanic' (which took him over 20 years) because his life's mission is to help people to be their best in the challenging modern world.He founded the award-winning Tougher Minds consultancy and has three psychology-related degrees, including a PhD. He has worked in performance psychology, resilience, and leadership science for over 20 years. He also writes regularly for Forbes.Tougher Minds uses cutting-edge insights from psychology, behavioural science, neuroscience, and world champions to help organisations develop “Habit Mechanics” and “Chief Habit Mechanics”—resilient people, outstanding leaders, and world-class teams.Having trained and coached over 10,000 people, Dr. Finn, and his colleagues, work with global businesses, high-growth startups, individuals, elite athletes, coaches and teams, leading educational institutes, families, the UK government, and think tanks.In this episode, Dominic explores AI's impact on the workforce and the journey of integrating AI into behavioural science and habit formation. Inspired by Geoffrey Hinton's work on neural networks, learn how blending traditional methods with cutting-edge AI enhances understanding of brain function and behaviour. Dr. Jon shares the concept of brain states - recharge, medium-charge, and high-charge - and how AI can revolutionise workflows by automating routine tasks and co-working with humans on complex tasks. Looking forward, we explore the concept of creating high-performing human-AI teams, guiding individuals and businesses toward harmonious collaborations with AI, enabling unprecedented speed and efficiency in achieving goals.DiscoverAutomatic Thinking: Human thoughts and behaviours are largely driven by automatic or semi-automatic processes. This is influenced by biases and past experiences, which affect the ability to generate truly conscious and unbiased ideas.Emotional Regulation in Athletes: In elite sports, the ability to regulate emotions plays a pivotal role in determining whether young athletes maintain or lose their professional status as they age.Effort and Performance: Sustained success in any field relies on consistent effort, ongoing learning, and the ability to perform effectively under pressure, particularly in challenging or high-stakes situations.Training Gaps in Mental Performance: While athletes typically receive extensive training in physical, technical, and tactical aspects, they often lack structured training on understanding and improving their cognitive and emotional processes.Risks from AI in the Workplace: AI is disrupting workplace roles that involve medium-energy tasks, and people unable to adapt or up-skill are at risk of being replaced. Emotional regulation and the ability to shift to higher-performance states are critical for adapting to these changes.

This is the sixth lesson in Dr. Camden Bucey's Reformed Academy course, Defending Our Hope: An Introduction to Christian Apologetics. Why is there such a stark contrast between the worldview of the believer and that of the unbeliever? This lesson addresses the theological concept of the antithesis—the fundamental spiritual divide between those in Christ and those outside of him. You will learn how this distinction, rooted in covenant representation and union with Christ, shapes every aspect of life and apologetic engagement. By understanding the nature of regeneration, resurrection life, and our new identity in Christ, we are better prepared to witness to the truth with clarity and conviction, while holding fast to the hope of God's redemptive purpose for his people. 01:13 The Fundamental Distinction between Believers and Unbelievers 04:31 Covenantal Representation 09:25 The Resurrection 20:18 The New Identity in Christ 29:23 Living Out Our Union with Christ 32:10 Summary and Conclusion  Register for this free on-demand course on our website to track your progress, download supplemental resources, and assess your understanding through quizzes for each lesson.

*As featured in the streaming documentary #UNTRUTH—now with a new foreword by George Conway and an afterword by the author*A masterful and eye-opening examination of Trump and the coercive control tactics he uses to build a fanatical devotion in his supporters written by “an authority on breaking away from cults…an argument that…bears consideration as the next election cycle heats up” (Kirkus Reviews). Since the 2016 election, Donald Trump's behavior has become both more disturbing and yet increasingly familiar. He relies on phrases like, “fake news,” “build the wall,” and continues to spread the divisive mentality of us-vs.-them. He lies constantly, has no conscience, never admits when he is wrong, and projects all of his shortcomings on to others. He has become more authoritarian, more outrageous, and yet many of his followers remain blindly devoted. Scott Adams, the creator of Dilbert and a major Trump supporter, calls him one of the most persuasive people living. His need to squash alternate information and his insistence of constant ego stroking are all characteristics of other famous leaders—cult leaders.In The Cult of Trump, mind control and licensed mental health expert Steven Hassan draws parallels between our current president and people like Jim Jones, David Koresh, Ron Hubbard, and Sun Myung Moon, arguing that this presidency is in many ways like a destructive cult. He specifically details the ways in which people are influenced through an array of social psychology methods and how they become fiercely loyal and obedient. Hassan was a former “Moonie” himself, and he presents a “thoughtful and well-researched analysis of some of the most puzzling aspects of the current presidency, including the remarkable passivity of fellow Republicans [and] the gross pandering of many members of the press” (Thomas G. Gutheil, MD and professor of psychiatry, Harvard Medical School). The Cult of Trump is an accessible and in-depth analysis of the president, showing that under the right circumstances, even sane, rational, well-adjusted people can be persuaded to believe the most outrageous ideas. “This book is a must for anyone who wants to understand the current political climate” (Judith Stevens-Long, PhD and author of Living Well, Dying Well).https://amzn.to/4kQXbhkBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

On today's Midrats, we have returning guest Craig Whiteside and his co-author Ian C. Rice joining us to discuss one of the nightmares we all have in the new book coming out this month. He co-authored it with Ian Rice, Non-state Special Operations: Capabilities and Effects.From the abstract:Building on previous research on Islamic State special operations, the book develops a theoretical framework surrounding a typology of VNSA (militants, proxies, criminal/cults, and mercenaries) to explore variations of non-state special operations, with multiple cases for each category of actor. Understanding when and why VNSA use special operations provides insights into the inner workings of such groups and how they campaign, and also has implications for the proliferation of special operation forces around the globe and its influence on non-state behaviour. This volume contributes to research on the recent trend of non-state actors surprising, and in some cases humiliating, their state opponents.Craig is Professor of National Security Affairs at the US Naval War College resident program at the Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, California. He is the co-author of The ISIS Reader: Milestone Texts of the Islamic State Movement (2020). He has a PhD in Political Science from Washington State University and is a former U.S. Army infantry officer.His coauthor Ian is an adjunct Senior Lecturer in the Department of Defense Analysis, Naval Postgraduate School, adjunct faculty member with the College of Distance Education, USMC University, and a guest lecturer with the Royal Danish Defence College. He is a retired U.S. Army officer who served with special operations forces.Show LinksNon-state Special Operations: Capabilities and Effects, by Craig Whiteside and Ian Rice.Operation ChariotDefeat Into Victory: Battling Japan in Burma and India, 1942-1945, Field-Marshal Viscount William SlimSummaryIn this episode of Midrats, hosts discuss the complexities of non-state special operations with authors Craig Whiteside and Ian Rice. They delve into the historical context, defining characteristics, and implications of special operations conducted by non-state actors. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding the motivations and strategies of these actors, as well as the challenges they pose to state actors. The authors share insights from their new book, exploring the evolution of non-state operations and the need for a nuanced approach to countering them.TakeawaysSpecial operations are defined as tactical actions designed to achieve outsized effects.Historical examples illustrate the long-standing use of special operations by non-state actors.Understanding the typology of non-state actors is crucial for effective analysis and response.Prison breakouts are a common tactic used by non-state actors to regain manpower.Cults and criminal groups can also engage in special operations, often driven by self-interest.Not all terrorist acts qualify as special operations; criteria must be applied to distinguish them.The opportunity cost of special operations can be significant for both state and non-state actors.Mercenaries have a unique role in conducting special operations, particularly in coups.Chapters00:00: Introduction to Non-State Special Operations02:15: Genesis of the Book and Collaboration05:49: Defining Special Operations08:43: Historical Context of Non-State Actors11:36: Analyzing Non-State Actors18:13: Understanding the Typology of Non-State Actors23:42: Criteria for Special Operations28:45: Prison Breakouts as a Tactic32:13: Cults and Criminal Groups in Special Operations36:53: Distinguishing Terrorism from Special Operations43:26: The Cost of Special Operations49:13: Mercenaries and Coups52:08: Mindset of Special Operations58:47: Implications for Future Operations

(Día Mundial del Perro) «“Lo protagonizó un perro que, durante la batalla, esquivó las embestidas de los caballos y los sablazos de los combatientes, pero siempre se mantuvo [detrás] de quien era su amo.”» Así comienza a contar el Arequipeño Ilustre del Bicentenario Gabriel Valdivia1 —en su artículo sobre la «Batalla de Junín: 199 años después» publicado en El Peruano, Diario Oficial del Bicentenario— una de las anécdotas del historiador y capitán del Ejército Peruano Jaime M. Taype Castillo.   «“Al finalizar la batalla, [el general patriota William] Miller se percató de que a varios metros aullaba el perro junto al cadáver de un oficial español. Apenado por la tristeza del animal, ordenó a sus soldados que lo atraparan, pero el can siempre lograba escapar para luego volver al lado de su amo”», sigue relatando el historiador Taype. «Fue un grupo de húsares peruanos el que logró atraparlo, convirtiéndolo luego en la mascota del regimiento, tarea que lograron con alimentos y muestras de cariño. Así culminó la [Batalla de Junín] que, junto con la Batalla de Ayacucho, confirmaron la Independencia del Perú y del resto de América», concluye el doctor Valdivia. Esos mismos soldados del regimiento «Húsares del Perú» eran los que habían sorprendido la caballería virreinal y habían hecho que se retiraran atropelladamente los jinetes del general español José de Canterac, logrando así la victoria para los patriotas, por lo que el general Simón Bolívar decidió cambiar su nombre por el de regimiento «Húsares de Junín».2 «¿Qué sirviente está más apegado a su dueño que un perro? ¿Qué compañero más fiel? ¿Qué guardián más insobornable? ¿Qué vigilante nocturno más desvelado? Y ¿qué vengador o defensor más perseverante?» Eso lo escribió el escritor agronómico hispano de la Antigua Roma llamado Columela con relación a los perros mascotas del primer siglo. Y por si eso fuera poco, el profesor e investigador Justin David Strong declara que, además de los conocidos roles de cazador, ovejero, pastor, guardián y compañero doméstico, el perro tenía fama de ser el médico del reino animal. Por ejemplo, los escritores de antaño observaron que el perro sabe que debe elevar la pierna si está herida, sabe qué plantas comer para inducir el vómito si ha comido algo que le ha hecho daño, sabe que debe sacarse del cuerpo las espinas, y sabe lamerse las heridas para que permanezcan limpias y así se sanen más rápido. De ahí que el doctor Strong afirme que los oyentes de Jesucristo en el primer siglo, al escucharle decir, en la famosa parábola del rico y Lázaro, que los perros le lamían las llagas al pobre Lázaro,3 percibieron ese acto como una señal de compasión de parte de los perros. Es decir, comprendieron que aquellos perros lo habían estado cuidando como si fueran sus enfermeros. Si bien el rol del perro como médico principal del reino animal pudiera parecernos novedoso, los diversos roles del perro en el mundo actual tienen un pedigrí muy antiguo —concluye el profesor Strong—, mostrándonos mediante este ejemplo que tenemos más en común con los oyentes de aquella época que lo que nos habíamos imaginado.4 Carlos ReyUn Mensaje a la Concienciawww.conciencia.net 1 «Docente de la UNSA es reconocido como Arequipeño Ilustre del Bicentenario», Oficina Universitaria de Imagen Institucional de la Universidad Nacional de San Agustín de Arequipa, 7 diciembre 2021 En línea 24 enero 2025. 2 Gabriel Valdivia, «Batalla de Junín: 199 años después, la historia conserva un sitio especial para esta victoria», El Peruano (Diario Oficial del Bicentenario), 5 agosto 2023 En línea 24 enero 2025. 3 Lc 16:21 4 Justin David Strong, «From Pets to Physicians: Dogs in the Biblical World» [Desde las mascotas hasta los médicos: Los perros en el mundo bíblico], Biblical Archaeological Society [Revista de la Sociedad de Arqueología Bíblica], mayo/junio 2019 En línea 24 enero 2025; Justin David Strong, PhD, «About Me» En línea 24 enero 2025.

Our national conversation about the border has taken a religious turn. When televangelists declare, “Heaven has a wall,” activists shout back, “Jesus was a refugee.” For Elizabeth Shakman Hurd, the standoff makes explicit a longstanding truth: borders are religious as well as political objects. In this book, Hurd argues that Americans share a bipartisan border religion, complete with an array of beliefs and practices, including a reverence for national security, a liturgy for immigration, and an eschatological foreign policy. Through an analysis of the many ways the United States creates, enforces, and ignores borders at home and abroad, Hurd offers a bold new perspective on the ties that bind American religion, politics, and public life. Elizabeth Shakman Hurd is Professor and Chair of Religious Studies and Professor of Political Science at Northwestern University. This episode's host, Jacob Barrett, is currently a PhD candidate in the Department of Religious Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in the Religion and Culture track.

Nikki Daulphin, wife and mother of 6, joins us today to talk about transformation at the table and in the Word. As a successful realtor, she views her work as a ministry but she knows that family comes first and she and her husband, Steve, have worked hard to help their kids lean into the Lord and share their tables with others now as young adults.  Hear how they do their own special weekly "Sabbath Meals" and how when Nikki met her mentor, Debbi, it made all the difference in how she lived her life and then, raised her family. You will be refreshed and inspired.  Some gems from our conversation: Although I was raised in a tumultuous home, I needed to take responsibility for myself and allow God to do His transformative work in my life. While birthing 5 kids in 7 years was often chaos, I learned to seek God as the air I breathed and ask myself, “Can I feed myself God's Word while not always doing a ‘perfect Bible study?'” The more I leaned into the role of mothering and learning the role of the wife, the better I was able to do both with joy and grace. When I care for others in the workplace as Jesus cares for them, I find opportunties outside of work where I can minister His love and truth. I have no regrets in laying down any expectations of my own work and career while investing in growing my family (even while Steve worked on getting his Phd over a 7 year period.) My legacy is to send out our children in the love of the Lord; they they would surpass us in how we loved and served Him. I want to care for people in a way that leaves a lasting impression so that they ask 'why is she this way?' We taught our kids to "turn a profit" on what they've been given, all for God's glory.  I was hungry for the safety and stability that my friend Debbi's family offered me.

Interview with Carol Sames, PhD

Interview with Nathan Tucker, PhD

Our national conversation about the border has taken a religious turn. When televangelists declare, “Heaven has a wall,” activists shout back, “Jesus was a refugee.” For Elizabeth Shakman Hurd, the standoff makes explicit a longstanding truth: borders are religious as well as political objects. In this book, Hurd argues that Americans share a bipartisan border religion, complete with an array of beliefs and practices, including a reverence for national security, a liturgy for immigration, and an eschatological foreign policy. Through an analysis of the many ways the United States creates, enforces, and ignores borders at home and abroad, Hurd offers a bold new perspective on the ties that bind American religion, politics, and public life. Elizabeth Shakman Hurd is Professor and Chair of Religious Studies and Professor of Political Science at Northwestern University. This episode's host, Jacob Barrett, is currently a PhD candidate in the Department of Religious Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in the Religion and Culture track.

When Lisa Cummins Dulchinos joined Ayar Labs, she knew translating deep tech into a business story would be central to her role. At a company where 85% of the nearly 200 employees hold PhDs, Dulchinos found herself among experts fluent in micro-ring resonators and laser physics. To explain what Ayar Labs does, she took a different approach. “It's basically a computer chip that allows us to open up the bandwidth in a computing system,” she tells us.That chiplet—named TeraPHY—replaces traditional copper wiring with optics, using lasers to transfer data more efficiently. Dulchinos describes it with a relatable analogy: “There's traffic on a highway…you open up and add more lanes.” This optical solution not only alleviates the data bottleneck but also delivers measurable benefits: “It decreases the amount of power required by four to eight times, increases the bandwidth almost 10 times, [and] reduces latency,” she tells us.What drew Dulchinos to Ayar Labs is also what defines her leadership: the intersection of technical complexity and strategic clarity. She frames the customer value in terms of “tokens per second, per dollar, per watt,” highlighting how improved throughput leads to greater profitability. Though the solution may cost more upfront, Dulchinos emphasizes its long-term value: “It decreases their total cost of ownership.”By making the science digestible and the business case undeniable, Dulchinos reveals not just what Ayar Labs builds—but how finance can illuminate innovation.

In light of the profound physical and mental traumas of colonization endured by North Africans, historians of recent decades have primarily concentrated their studies of North Africa on colonial violence, domination, and shock. The choice is an understandable one. But in his new monograph, A Slave between Empires: A Transimperial History of North Africa (Columbia University Press, 2020), M'hamed Oualdi asks how a history of the modern Maghreb might look if we did not perceive it solely through the prism of European colonization, and argues that widening our gaze might force us to redefine our understanding of colonialism — and its limits. As a sequel of sorts to his first book, Oualdi explores the life and afterlife of one figure, the manumitted slave and Tunisian dignitary Husayn Ibn ‘Abdallah, as an aperture through which to understand the financial, intellectual, and kinship networks that mingled with processes of colonialism and Ottoman governance in unexpected ways to produce the modern Maghreb. A master class in how historians might untangle the relationship between the personal and the political, A Slave between Empires centers Husayn — and North Africa — at the crossroads of competing ambitions, imperial and intimate. Engaging with sources in Arabic, Ottoman Turkish, and European languages, and corralling French, Tunisian, and Anglophone historiographies into one conversation, Oualdi's newest book is not to be missed. M'hamed Oualdi is full professor at Sciences Po in Paris. Nancy Ko is a Paul & Daisy Soros Fellow and a PhD student in History at Columbia University, where she examines the relationship between Jewish difference and (concepts of) philanthropy and property in the late- and post-Ottoman and Qajar Middle East.
