The term premium — investors' compensation for holding longer-term Treasuries instead of T-bills — fluctuates with inflation uncertainty, federal deficit worries, and central banks' balance sheets. The New York Fed's Adrian, Crump, and Mönch model estimates the 10-year Treasury term premium is higher than before the pandemic but substantially lower than it was pre- GFC. The post-pandemic term premium will shape the path of longer-term Treasuries as bond investors consider what the new normal looks like. In this episode, we talk with Emanuel Mönch, Professor of Financial and Monetary Economics at the Frankfurt School of Finance and Management, about the models estimating the term premium, what's driven changes over the last forty years, and how it could shift under a Warsh-led Fed.

In this episode Garth interviews Danae Hudson from Missouri State University in Springfield, MO for a Part 3 interview. At NITOP 2026, they revisit their 2022 podcast conversation to discuss how classrooms and roles have changed since COVID. Hudson describes teaching large Intro Psych sections (330 students), smaller Abnormal Psych classes, and doctoral courses, noting post-COVID struggles in student adjustment and DFW rates, but some recent movement toward greater preparedness and reduced anxiety. They explore how COVID forced course redesign, current students' desire for more in-person study sessions, and the challenge of assessing learning amid widespread AI use and online degree options. Garth explains cutting Intro Psych content to prioritize meaningful, communicative assessments. Hudson proposes surveying Abnormal Psych students to form AI-mixed study groups and share effective tools. They also discuss boundaries with institutional demands and Hudson's work as STP VP of Membership, building pathways from graduate to late-career involvement and suggesting ways to get involved via STP resources, committees, and task forces.

In this roundtable conversation, a diverse group of interior designers and kitchen specialists discuss how kitchen design has transformed in the post-pandemic era. Rising costs, shifting client expectations, and new technologies are forcing designers to rethink how kitchens function and how they are delivered to clients. The conversation explores everything from appliance innovation and zoning strategies to the emotional role of kitchens as gathering spaces. Designers also confront difficult realities such as escalating budgets, supply chain issues, and the need to guide clients through increasingly complex decisions. We gathered at the Pacific Sales Kitchen & Home showroom in San Diego. A beautiful and well appointed space with so much to see and the room to enjoy it. Designer Resources Pacific Sales Kitchen and Home. Where excellence meets expertise. TimberTech – Real wood beauty without the upkeep Shelter Republic – Request your membership invitation At its core, the discussion highlights a broader truth about the design profession today: kitchens are no longer simply rooms for cooking. They are ecosystems that reflect lifestyle, culture, wellness, and the evolving way people live in their homes. Ginger Rabe “During Covid everyone was home all day. Now I design for what happens when people come home after being gone all day.” “The hardest conversation now is telling clients that what cost $50,000 five years ago might be $185,000 today.” “Sometimes the challenge of designing a luxury kitchen for $22,000 is actually fun—it forces creativity.” “I build kitchens around how people really cook, not how kitchens are supposed to work.” “Designers today are often the first people explaining what a project actually costs.” Kendra Araujo “Clients are overwhelmed by information now—our job is guiding them through the process.” “The price conversation is happening much earlier than it used to.” “People want their dream kitchen, but the cost realities have changed dramatically.” “We're constantly helping clients prioritize what actually matters most.” “There's so much analysis paralysis today that designers have become translators.” Kaylee Blaylock “Function comes first—our job is to make the kitchen work for the client before it looks beautiful.” “We start with questionnaires because every person in a household uses the kitchen differently.” “Appliances today allow us to personalize kitchens in ways we couldn't before.” “We're designing zones now—smoothie stations, coffee stations, prep areas.” “The kitchen has become much more individualized.” Taylor Troia “We usually start with appliances because they dictate the entire layout.” “Once clients understand their appliance choices, the kitchen design almost begins to solve itself.” “There are so many new appliance innovations that we're constantly learning.” “Travel and design shows open our eyes to things that haven't even reached the U.S. yet.” “Knowing what's possible globally helps us serve our clients better locally.” Rachel Moriarty “Covid activated more users in the kitchen—people learned to cook.” “I think about kitchens as stations—charcuterie stations, prep zones, cooking zones.” “Circulation patterns are the first thing we think about when designing a kitchen.” “Professional kitchen thinking is influencing residential design more than ever.” “The best kitchens are ecosystems where people can work without colliding.” Jules Wilson “We try to let clients talk first because what they say initially is always the most important.” “You learn far more by listening than by running through a checklist.” “Many younger clients have huge wish lists—but they're often unrealistic.” “Part of our role is helping clients narrow their priorities.” “Kitchen design today is as much about psychology as it is about layout.” Nate Fisher “Appliances have become central to how we design kitchens.” “Technology is evolving so quickly it's hard to keep up with everything available.” “Every cabinet now has a specialized insert or storage function.” “Clients want everything organized and hidden away.” “A clean kitchen visually creates peace in the home.” Concepts The Post-Covid Kitchen Shift Price Shock and the New Budget Reality Kitchen Zoning and Multi-User Design Appliance Innovation and Technology Personalization Through Storage and Organization Aging in Place and Accessibility Outdoor Kitchens as Lifestyle Extensions

4. Post-pandemic updates reveal the "flight from work" is expanding to include women and older Americans. Massive government transfers and excess savings during COVID-19 further delayed reentry into the workforce.

In this episode, Michael Roscoe, PhD, PA-C, President of the PA Education Association, is joined by April Stouder, EdD, MHS, PA-C, of Duke University and Shalon Buchs, EdD, MHS, PA-C, of Florida State University to explore how post-pandemic shifts are reshaping PA education. They discuss the growing need for student support, as many learners face increased anxiety, gaps in social-emotional development, and more complex health and learning challenges. These shifts have placed additional demands on faculty, who are navigating increased responsibilities related to remediation, advising, leaves of absence, and the broader emotional aspects of student support. The guests share strategies for maintaining rigor while creating space for growth, including protected time, stronger faculty support, and using data alongside lived experiences to advocate for institutional change.

Mike Miedler and Odeta Kushi discuss the housing market and the latest Pending Home Sales report. “People really feel like demand is coming back into the market,” Mike says, adding that “we are up every single week” in sales year-over-year – excepting the spate of blizzards. “We're getting this more normalized spring selling season.” Odeta sees “fragile green shoots” on the demand side and notes affordability gains have been “broad-based” as wage growth rises.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Science writer Ed Yong was an invaluable resource for many of us navigating the strange pandemic landscape. His writing about Covid-19 at The Atlantic earned him a Pulitzer Prize, but left him looking for an outlet to recalibrate after that anxiety-ridden period. Inspired by his own writing in his book, An Immense World, he turned to bird-watching despite not expecting to be any good at it. It has turned into a passion, a way to explore both his home and the wider world, and an inspiration for his writing.  Also, Nate shares his experience wrangling endemics in Puerto Rico.  Subscribe to the podcast at Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts and please leave a rating or a review if you are so inclined!

Send us a textWe look at how the 2020 pandemic caused a disruption in film culture, and reflect on the movies lost between the cracks of the COVID era. Also, why do movies look like that now? - examining claims of a popular YouTube film essay. And programming for a younger audience: What movies make GenZ nostalgic?

1. The Ghost Army: Tracking the Collapse of Work for Prime-Age Men Nicholas Eberstadt Book: Men Without Work(Post-Pandemic Edition) Nicholas Eberstadt's book introduces the metaphor of the "ghost army": over 7 million men of prime working age (25-54) who are out of the workforce altogether, neither working nor looking for work. This cohort, the "backbone of the economy," has seen a collapse of work over half a century. The decline is measured using the Labor Force Participation Rate (LFPR), which dropped from 96.6% in 1965 to 88.2% by 2015. Eberstadt notes this decline is generational, with each younger cohort on a lower work trajectory than the last. The severity of the decline in the USA is described as "strikingly more severe" than in comparable rich countries like Canada. 1936

2. Demographics and Despair: The Activities of Men Not in the Labor Force Nicholas Eberstadt Book: Men Without Work (Post-Pandemic Edition) Eberstadt investigates the characteristics of the 7.2 million men "not in the labor force" (NILF) as of 2015. Foreign-born men and married men with children are highly likely to be at work, regardless of educational background. Conversely, those who are neither employed nor in education or training (NEET) report engaging in remarkably little civic life, charity, or household help. Time use surveys suggest these NEET men spend the equivalent of a full-time job—around 2,000 hours a year—watching screens. This inactivity is linked to profound misery, as almost half of these men report taking pain medication daily, contributing to rising "deaths of despair" (suicide, overdoses, cirrhosis). 1927 NYSE

3. Supply vs. Demand: Economic Shocks, Entitlements, and the Invisible Population Nicholas Eberstadt Book: Men Without Work (Post-Pandemic Edition) Eberstadt explores the competing explanations for the ghost army, contrasting his supply-side argument (men holding back labor/unpreparedness) with demand-side views from critics Henry Olsen and Jared Bernstein. Olsen highlights the role of economic shocks and structural changes, like the 1970s stagflation and deindustrialization (the Rust Belt). The role of entitlements is significant, as over half of NILF men receive at least one benefit, often disability payments like SSDI. Regional differences in labor force participation (e.g., high inactivity in West Virginia adjacent to low inactivity in Maryland) mitigate a purely national demand-side case. The source stresses the lack of data on the estimated 25 million ex-convicts, who are an "invisible population" largely untracked by labor statistics. 1929

4. Post-Pandemic Lessons and Policy Interventions Nicholas Eberstadt Book: Men Without Work (Post-Pandemic Edition) Eberstadt addresses the post-pandemic landscape, noting the problem has worsened and shows warning signs of spreading to prime-age women and older cohorts. The China shock (China entering the WTO) previously disrupted US manufacturing. Pandemic-era government transfers were unique in that US disposable income rose, generating over $2.5 trillion in excess savings that facilitated a "delayed return to work." Policy solutions include adopting a "work first" principle for social welfare programs and improving vocational skills training to reduce disincentives. Eberstadt stresses the need to gather statistics on the vast ex-felon population (one in seven adult men has a felony conviction) to enable evidence-based policies for societal reentry. Gaming the disability system often involves claims that are difficult to falsify, such as psychological or musculoskeletal pain. 1939 NYSE

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, we sit down with Dr. Rhonda Hodge, founder of Harmony Psychiatric Services, to explore how mental health care must evolve beyond traditional models in the aftermath of COVID-19. Dr. Rhonda shares how her integrative approach—combining medication, movement, nutrition, and community—addresses the whole person, not just the symptoms. From reducing stigma to empowering patients and creating safe, inclusive spaces for healing, this episode is packed with grounded insights on what mental health recovery really requires today. About the Guest:Dr. Rhonda Hodge is a psychiatric nurse practitioner and founder of Harmony Psychiatric Services. Her practice reimagines mental health care by blending clinical support with holistic wellness tools and community-based care. Passionate about accessibility and empowerment, she helps patients—from adolescents to adults—reclaim agency and heal through connection, education, and compassionate support. Key Takeaways: The pandemic reduced stigma around therapy but also exposed systemic gaps in mental health care.

HR2 Post Pandemic Workplace Changes, China's 'Pregnancy Robot' Project Summary 8-18-2 by John Rush

One thing that's become crystal clear in the past few years is this: leadership, as we knew it, doesn't work anymore.The post-pandemic workplace is asking something different of us. And while some leaders are clinging to old playbooks—those rooted in control, hierarchy, and performance at all costs—others are leaning into something more sustainable and human: inclusive leadership.But let's be honest. “Inclusive leadership” is one of those terms that's gotten a lot of airtime but very little depth. It's not just about hiring a diverse team or checking the right boxes during a quarterly review. It's intentional. It's introspective. And it requires action.On a recent episode of the DEI After 5 podcast, I spoke with two powerful voices in this space: Dr. Alex and Diane Finn. What I appreciated most was that neither of them treated inclusive leadership like a title you slap on your LinkedIn profile. For them, and for the leaders I work with, it's something you practice. Daily.It Starts With IntentionalityDr. Alex reminded us that there's no one-size-fits-all definition of inclusive leadership. But there are behaviors that show up consistently—like humility, active listening, curiosity, and the ability to create space for hard conversations.She emphasized that leaders must be willing to challenge the norms, ask why, and reflect on their own advantages—not with guilt, but with purpose. That's the difference between performative allyship and real, lasting change.Diane's journey into this work began with helping women re-enter the workforce through her company Reboot XL. Her scope expanded, but her goal stayed the same: to build cultures where people—especially those from underrepresented backgrounds—can thrive, not just survive.It Requires Self-ReflectionInclusive leadership is personal. It forces you to look in the mirror. Diane and Dr. Alex were aligned on this: the work starts within. It's about unpacking our own biases, understanding how our identities shape our experiences, and committing to ongoing self-awareness.You can't lead inclusively if you're disconnected from the people you lead.That's why belonging is such a critical benchmark. It's not just about how leaders feel they're doing—it's about how the people around them experience their leadership. Do they feel seen? Heard? Respected? Safe?When we ask those questions, we uncover patterns. Maybe engagement scores for women, Black employees, or other marginalized groups are significantly lower. That's a signal—not just to HR, but to leadership. Inclusive leadership is about naming those disparities and doing the work to understand and address them.It's a Leadership Practice, Not a CheckboxThe truth is: inclusive leadership can't just live at the middle management level. It must be modeled at the top. When senior leaders dismiss it as “not a priority” or treat it like a diversity checkbox, the rest of the organization follows suit. Culture change doesn't happen through lip service. It happens through consistent action.That action might look like:* Actively sponsoring emerging leaders from underrepresented groups.* Creating psychologically safe spaces where dissent is welcomed—not punished.* Holding other leaders accountable for behaviors that harm team dynamics or reinforce bias.And it also looks like listening deeply—to the voices in the room, but also to the ones that haven't been invited yet.It's Not Just About Saying the Right ThingLet's also name this: inclusive leadership is not about saying the perfect thing on a company-wide Zoom. It's about what you do when nobody's watching. It's about how you navigate microaggressions, how you respond when you get something wrong, and how you repair trust when harm has occurred.We live in a world where people are scared of being “canceled.” But fear shouldn't stop us from growth. As Dr. Alex said, “Have the conversation. Make the mistake. Learn. Then try again.” That's how trust is built.So What Now?If you're listening to this and wondering where to start, here's what I'll offer:* Get honest with yourself. Where are your blind spots? What are you afraid to confront?* Choose one action. Whether it's sponsoring someone, reviewing engagement data by demographics, or creating space for feedback—start somewhere.* Commit to the long haul. Inclusive leadership is a practice, not a performance. And the people you lead can tell the difference.

Every rising generation reinvents the rules of how art works. What are the new new ways of working? What kinds of spaces serve those needs? Art critic Ben Davis keeps coming back to these questions, and it's part of why he decided he wanted to talk to Maya Man. Man got her MFA from the famous Media Art program at the University of California in 2023. She makes art that's fun and very online, looking at the digital world and the way it blurs reality and performance. Right now, her work A Realistic Day in My Life Living in New York City is the first-ever work commissioned by the Whitney Museum for its “On the Hour” program, taking over the museum's website every hour for 30 seconds. Set your clock if you want to catch it. Man is also a scene-maker herself. Davis first heard about her experimental art space, Heart, after it had already closed, earlier this year. But in its brief, frenzied life, it left a big mark. It was a space where a certain kind of experimental online/offline art scene that feels very now started to define itself.

Jerry Recco and Willie Colon, filling in for B&G, opened with Jets talk, as Willie stressed the need for Bryce Hall and Braelon Allen to lead the offense and called for "beef eaters." They covered the Yankees' 1-0 loss to the Angels, noting Giancarlo Stanton's two-hit return, and the Thunder's near NBA Championship. The hour concluded with a discussion on post-pandemic tipping.

The nature of work has changed a lot over the past few years, especially since the pandemic. How to make sure creativity doesn't get lost in the shuffle. Plus, two Phoenix churches at the center of resurgent Christian nationalism.

Guest Paul Glover is the No B.S. Executive Leadership Coach, assisting leaders in organizations with revenue up to one billion dollars.  He's a Tedx speaker, an approved Vistage and YPO Speaker on leadership in the Post-Pandemic work environment, the author of WorkQuake™: Making the Seismic Shift to a Knowledge Economy, a Forbes contributor, a "recovering” federal trial lawyer, an ex-felon, a Starbucks addict, and a Chicago Bears fanatic. Summary: Why this discussion matters In this candid and compelling conversation, Paul Glover shares his journey from successful labor lawyer to convicted felon and how a transformative prison experience led him to embrace vulnerability, personal accountability, and leadership coaching. Drawing on the metaphor of the "medieval fool," Glover emphasizes the value of truth-telling advisors and the importance of self-care and legacy in leadership. His coaching philosophy demands commitment, honesty, and hard work. Three Takeaways The Power of a "Fool": Inspired by the medieval fool who had the psychological safety to tell the king hard truths, Glover advocates for everyone to have a "fool" in their life – someone who provides honest, unfiltered feedback to expose blind spots and ensure accountability. His wife played this critical role during his imprisonment and continues to do so. Accountability as a Catalyst for Change: Glover's own profound transformation was rooted in taking full responsibility for his illegal actions and the devastating impact on his family. He emphasizes that true change and growth, both personally and in leadership, require unwavering personal accountability. Legacy and Self-Care in Leadership: Glover's coaching philosophy prioritizes building a lasting legacy—improving an organization for future leaders—over short-term, ego-driven gains. He also stresses that dedicated self-care is non-negotiable for effective leadership.
