The history of the West has always been defined by water. Long before settlers arrived, Indigenous peoples designed complex water management systems to cultivate the arid land. In the 19th and 20th centuries, large-scale engineering projects redistributed water across the West, enabling the region's rapid growth. Today, western water resources are stretched thin, and as rivers and streams dry up, so too does the environmental resiliency that's provided by healthy riparian zones.   To help address this issue, many western states are looking to beavers – long known as nature's engineers – to ensure more water is retained on the landscape. New research shows that this will help restore biodiversity and mitigate the effects of prolonged drought, unexpected flooding, and catastrophic wildfires.     In this episode of Out West, WGA policy advisors Jonah Seifer and Zach Nowak spoke with beaver experts from around the region about how these aquatic rodents can help us restore balance to the West's water systems.   For these discussions they were joined by Emily Fairfax, an ecohydrologist, beaver researcher, and Assistant Professor of Geography at the University of Minnesota; Chris Jordan, a Fisheries Biologist with NOAA's Northwest Fisheries Science Center; Alexander Funk, the Director of Water Resources and Senior Counsel at the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership; Marshall Wolf, a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission; and Jerry Altermatt, a habitat biologist with the Wyoming Game and Fish Department.

#59 Let's think about the important topic of burnout and what we can do from a BPM perspective to prevent it.In this episode, I'm talking to Prof. Dr. Yevgen Bogodistov about the important topic of burnout prevention. Yevgen has spent many years researching how BPM can help prevent burnout. This fits perfectly with the human-centric approach to BPM. He mentions that if we listen to the feelings of the people working in the process as early as possible, we can minimize the stress level of their daily work, which can prevent burnout at an early stage. He also shares practical tips you can use in your work.Today's Guests:Prof. Dr. Yevgen Bogodistov Yevgen has been a Full Professor of Strategic Management & Organizational Behavior at MCI - The Entrepreneurial School in Innsbruck, Austria, since 2021. Before joining MCI, he worked at the Frankfurt School of Finance and Management, the University of Applied Sciences Neu Ulm, and European-University Viadrina as a Lecturer and Postdoctoral Research Associate. Yevgen received his PhD in Business Administration and Management from European-University Viadrina in Frankfurt/Oder in 2014. He also holds a Master's degree in European Studies from Viadrina University, as well as Bachelor's and Master's degrees in International Relations from Dnipro National University in Ukraine. Yevgen formerly worked as a project coordinator at the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung in Kyiv and between his Master's and PhD, he built a career in a medium-sized enterprise in Ukraine, starting as an economist and ultimately serving as the Chief Operating Officer. You'll learn:Why Yevgen did research on BPM and Burnout PreventionWhat his findings are how BPM can prevent burnoutHow he defines human-centric BPM from a scientific perspectiveWhat Yevgen's recommendations are to get to a more human-centric BPM approachWhat you can do to prevent burnout as a process owner/architect/managerI hope, you enjoy this episode of the New Process Podcast and are curious to learn more in the next episode.

Listeners to the podcast are very likely familiar with the concept of carbon offsetting or carbon credits.  This is the idea that a company that pollutes in the course of its business practice can purchase carbon credits, often in the form of supporting tree planting somewhere in the world, with a promise that doing this will remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, to “offset” or balance-out the company's carbon pollution.   This has become a billion-dollar global market.But in recent years this practice has experienced a crisis of credibility.  An increasing number of investigations and studies have eroded confidence in carbon markets. The carbon offsets for some projects were over-counted, while others didn't actually prevent deforestation, and still other carbon credit forest projects appear to be much more vulnerable to wildfires or insect outbreaks than previously believed.So, what is to be done? Can the carbon offsetting approach be fixed?  Or, is a totally different approach needed?  Libby Blanchard, a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Wilkes Center, and the School of Biological Sciences here at the U of U, says that billions of crucial funding would best be spent on a contribution approach for effective forest efforts that don't undermine urgent climate action. She recently co-authored an op-ed with other scholars in the Stanford Social Innovation Review journal to make the case for this new approach.  wilkescenter.utah.edu/podcast/14-should-contributions-replace-carbon-offsets/

For this paper read, we're joined by Samuel Marks, Postdoctoral Research Associate at Northeastern University, to discuss his paper, “The Geometry of Truth: Emergent Linear Structure in LLM Representation of True/False Datasets.” Samuel and his team curated high-quality datasets of true/false statements and used them to study in detail the structure of LLM representations of truth. Overall, they present evidence that language models linearly represent the truth or falsehood of factual statements and also introduce a novel technique, mass-mean probing, which generalizes better and is more causally implicated in model outputs than other probing techniques.Find the transcript and read more here: https://arize.com/blog/the-geometry-of-truth-emergent-linear-structure-in-llm-representation-of-true-false-datasets-paper-reading/To learn more about ML observability, join the Arize AI Slack community or get the latest on our LinkedIn and Twitter.

On this episode of 1050 Bascom, we were excited to talk to Josh Brown about social identity theory and political polarization. Josh is social psychologist and Postdoctoral Research Associate in the School of Human Ecology. He is interested in understanding groups processes and intergroup relations in applied settings like politics. In particular, he studies what motivates people to identify with groups, self-uncertainty, and identification's effects on behavior, cognition, performance, and health and politics. Josh is the co-author of a fascinating article, “Extreme party animals: Effects of political identification and ideological extremity.” We wanted to talk to Josh about the psychological mechanisms at play that might help us understand why our political environment has become so polarized - and we asked him if there are any remedies social psychology might offer us. We thoroughly enjoyed our conversation with Josh, and learned so much. We hope you will too!

The topic of this episode is, “Delegates to the House of Representatives: who are they and what do they do?”My guest is Elliot Mamet. He is a Postdoctoral Research Associate and Lecturer at the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs. Previously, he served as an American Political Science Association Congressional Fellow. Elliot holds a Ph.D. in Political Science from Duke University.Also important to note is that Dr. Mamet spent time working in the office of Washington, D.C. delegate, Eleanor Holmes Norton. All of which makes him a great person to ask the question, "Delegates to the House of Representatives: who are they and what do they do?"Kevin Kosar:Welcome to Understanding Congress, a podcast about the first branch of government. Congress is a notoriously complex institution and few Americans think well of it, but Congress is essential to our republic. It's a place where our pluralistic society is supposed to work out its differences and come to agreement about what our laws should be, and that is why we are here to discuss our national legislature and to think about ways to upgrade it so it can better serve our nation. I'm your host, Kevin Kosar, and I'm a resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, a think tank in Washington D.C.Welcome to the podcast.Elliot Mamet:Thank you, Kevin. It's great to be here.Kevin Kosar:Let's start with a really simple question. Listeners are all too familiar with the fact that the House typically has 435 members. But they also have delegates. How many delegates are there to the House of Representatives?Elliot Mamet:Currently, there are five delegates to the House of Representatives. They serve from Washington, D.C., Guam, American Samoa, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the Northern Mariana Islands. There's also a Resident Commissioner—a non-voting member—from Puerto Rico. So there're six total non-voting members in the House. Kevin Kosar:Representatives in the House come from districts these days. Where and who do these delegates and non-voting members represent? And is represent even the correct term for what their role is?Elliot Mamet:The non-voting members of Congress represent Americans who live outside the several states. Throughout their entire history, they've represented people who don't live in states—whether that's in the federal enclave of the District of Columbia or in territories either on the path to statehood or not on the path to statehood. Today, they represent 4 million Americans. Of that group, 3.5 million live in the United States territories—those people are 98% racial and ethnic minorities—and the remainder are the residents of the District of Columbia who are majority black or Hispanic. So the delegates represent overwhelmingly non-white constituents, and they represent a group of Americans who lack the same citizen rights and lack political equality to those people living in the several states.Kevin Kosar:Now, on this program, there's been a number of episodes where I and a guest have talked about earlier Congresses—the Congresses at the founding, early 20th century, etc.—and non-voting representatives just didn't come up in the conversation. Are they a recent development, or have they always been with us?Elliot Mamet:Great question. The non-voting representative has been a feature since the earliest Congresses. The institution dates back at least to 1784 when a committee chaired by Thomas Jefferson suggested that territories prior to becoming a state would be able to send a delegate to Congress with the

Danielle McCartney is a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Lambert Initiative for Cannabinoid Therapeutics at the University of Sydney. Her main role is to coordinate clinical research into the effects of cannabidiol on simulated car driving performance.  Danielle and her colleagues recently published a systematic review of 20 studies that examine the next-day effects of THC. As the study states, “The length of time an individual should wait following cannabis use before performing safety-sensitive tasks, is a critical issue.” Some government agencies and experts recommend individuals avoid performing safety-sensitive tasks for at least 24 hours. It should not surprise you to learn that the data suggests a much shorter impairment window. During our conversation, we discuss: The different types of studies the authors reviewed and the criteria they used to evaluate them The different tests administered to measure impairment How next-day effects of THC compare to acute effects How next-day effects are different in medicinal cannabis patients vs. recreational users What methods are available to determine THC impairment in drivers What is a reasonable impairment window for THC Thank You to This Episode's Sponsor: Medicine Women Health Medicine Women's team of specialists includes Medical Doctors, Naturopaths, Medical Cannabis Experts, Nutritionists and Alternative Health Practitioners.

Hosts: Leah Murray and Greg Skordas Ecuador President Guillermo Lasso decided to enact the country's "Mutual Death" which dissolved the General Assembly and called for elections in 90 days. We listen from Dr. Diego José Romero, a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the University of Pennsylvania's DevLab on why the President used that option, and why the opposition could benefit from it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hosts: Leah Murray and Greg Skordas Supreme Court and Social Media Tonight, our hosts Leah Murray and Greg Skordas start the show with the Supreme Court dismissing cases regarding families of victims of terrorist attacks and Twitter. ABC News Correspondent Lindsay Watts in Washington gives us the details in each ruling and some of the reasons behind them. The High Courts Leah and Greg talk about federal court cases that have reached high rulings. A federal appeals court has questions about the abortion pill mifepristone and the FDA's approval of it. On the other side, a bill that would ban assault weapons in the state of Illinois was blocked by the Supreme Court.  Gerrymandering Not many people know about gerrymandering and what it does. KSL At Night dives into the history of gerrymandering and how it is used today. Greg Skordas and Leah Murray get into how gerrymandering affects ordinary Utahns in local elections and why. DeSantis vs. DEI Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed a bill that would ban public colleges from having Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiatives. As the presidential election season starts to heat up and wanting to know more about what Gov. DeSantis is now banning in his state, Professor Kathleen Paco Cadman of Weber State University joined Greg and Leah about what these initiatives mean to students and the ramifications that could follow if DeSantis makes a similar ban as President. UDOT Preparing and Keeping Us Safe Floods have been flowing in record numbers and we have not even hit the heaviest portion quite yet. Already we've seen closures, deterioration, and long traffic waits. Greg Skordas and Leah Murray sit down with the Director of Public Relations for UDOT John Gleason on what to expect on our roads in the upcoming weeks. Lori Daybell Indicted In Arizona Lori Vallow Daybell, who was recently convicted of multiple murders, now faces a new charge in Arizona: conspiracy to commit first degree murder.

Ecuador's President Uses the "Mutual Death" Option Ecuador President Guillermo Lasso decided to enact the country's "Mutual Death" which dissolved the General Assembly and called for elections in 90 days. We listen from Dr. Diego José Romero, a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the University of Pennsylvania's DevLab on why the President used that option, and why the opposition could benefit from it. Is The NHL Coming To Utah? Just a few weeks ago we were discussing the possibility of having an MLS team in Utah. Now there are rumors we are getting closer to also getting an NHL team. KSL Sports Sam Farnsworth joins the show to discuss the option Utah has, and the role Arizona could play in it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Yesterday, the president of Ecuador Guillermo Lasso pushed the self-destruct button on the countries government by enacting what's called "Muerte Cruzada"... Which stands for "Mutual Death". The General Assembly was investigating the President on embezzlement allegations... and they had begun impeachment proceedings to remove him from office. President Lasso accused the National Assembly of focusing “on destabilizing the government.” To get a better understanding on this issue and where this goes, Boyd spoke with Dr. Diego José Romero, a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the University of Pennsylvania's DevLab.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

While scientists know antibiotic resistance is linked to the widespread use of antibiotics, understanding the physiology and microbiome of guts that have never been exposed to synthetic antibiotics might offer information to help address this resistance. Researcher Sharmily Khanam designed a study to tackle this gap in knowledge. She explains How our understanding of resistance mostly comes from clinicallybrelevant bacteria that's pathogenic and our understanding is therefore incomplete; Where she found a population without any exposure to synthetic antibiotics and what her research process is; and What pattern and discovery this research has offered, namely the ubiquitous nature of the antibiotic resistant gene and additional questions this raises. Offer: Magnesium is integral for 600+ biochemical processes in the human body. The common misconception is that consuming more magnesium will automatically improve health and well-being. The truth is that there are various forms of magnesium, each of which is essential for a variety of physiological processes. Most people are inadequate in all forms of magnesium, while even those considered "healthy" typically only ingest 1 or 2 kinds. Consuming all 7 of magnesium's primary forms is the key to accessing all its health benefits.That's why we packed 7 forms of 450mg of elemental magnesium into each serving of  Wild Mag Complex.

Khanam is a Postdoctoral Research Associate with the Department of Microbiology and Plant Biology at the University of Oklahoma. She explains her initial question in her research, namely what the microbial population in our ancestors was like and how resistant they were to the current antibiotics. She and her colleagues are therefore studying a population in a remote village in the Amazon Forest in Peru.  Currently they are studying the scope and extent of antibiotic resistance in the gut microbiome population of this ancestral-like population, comparing them with the gut microbial population, physiology, and antibiotic resistant population in the microbiome of people exposed to modern antibiotics. They are trying to see if our ancestral microbiome was well positioned to tolerate the modern day antibiotics. She explains that researchers need to fill the gap of knowledge in understanding the molecular mechanism involved in resistance to a diverse group of antibiotics. She adds that at the same time, this will provide a foundation to investigate and characterize the molecular mechanism in the bacterial population and how that is related to host metabolism—the combination of host and microbial population is creating the outcome that scientists need to understand in order to interrupt this process and prevent resistance. She adds an explanation of their findings thus far and explains how this may help the medical community.

In Invited to Witness: Solidarity Tourism Across Occupied Palestine (Duke UP, 2023), Jennifer Lynn Kelly explores the significance of contemporary solidarity tourism across Occupied Palestine. Examining the relationships among race, colonialism, and movement-building in spaces where tourism and military occupation operate in tandem, Kelly argues that solidarity tourism in Palestine functions as both political strategy and emergent industry. She draws from fieldwork on solidarity tours in Palestine/Israel and interviews with guides, organizers, community members, and tourists, asking what happens when tourism is marketed as activism and when anticolonial work functions through tourism. Palestinian organizers, she demonstrates, have refashioned the conventions of tourism by extending invitations to tourists to witness Palestinian resistance and the effects of Israeli state practice on Palestinian land and lives. In so doing, Kelly shows how Palestinian guides and organizers wrest from Israeli control the capacity to invite and the permission to narrate both their oppression and their liberation.

Shannon Philip's book Becoming Young Men in a New India: Masculinities, Gender Relations and Violence in the Postcolony (Cambridge UP, 2022) tells the gendered story of a changing India through the lives of its young middle class men. Through time spent ethnographically 'hanging-out' with young men in gyms, bars, clubs, trains and gay cruising grounds in India, this book critically reveals Indian men's violence towards women in various city spaces and also shows the many classed and masculine entitlements and challenges that they experience. The book lays bare the often secretive and hidden social worlds of young Indian men and critically analyses the impact young men's actions and identities have not just for themselves, but for the many women they encounter. In this way, it puts forward a critical queer-feminist perspective of men and masculinities in postcolonial India where the politics of class, gender, sexuality, violence and urban spaces come together. Dr. Shannon Philip is Lecturer in the Department of Sociology at the University of East Anglia and was previously a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Department of Sociology, University of Cambridge.

Despite all that we have learned from cognitive science about how people learn, the most common form of classroom instruction still involves students passively listening to a lecturer standing at a podium at the front of the room. In this episode, Cathy Davidson and Christina Katopodis join us to discuss alternative approaches that treat student diversity as an asset and allow all students to be actively engaged in their own learning. Cathy is a Distinguished Professor at the CUNY Graduate Center, the author of more than twenty books, and a regular contributor to the Washington Post and the Chronicle of Higher Education. She has served on the National Council of Humanities and delivered a keynote address at the Nobel Forum on the Future of Education. Christina is a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Transformative Learning in the Humanities Initiative at CUNY and has authored over a dozen articles on innovative pedagogy, innovative pedagogy, environmental studies, and Early American Literature.  She has received the Dewey Digital Teaching Award and the Diana Colbert Initiative Teaching Prize.

Since the Covid-19 pandemic began, scientists studying the virus have become targets of online harassment, and more recently, death threats. Roland speaks to Dr Angela Rasmussen, virologist at the Vaccine and Infectious Disease Organization at the University of Saskatchewan, about her experiences. Spyros Lytras, PhD candidate at the University of Glasgow, talks Roland through the evolutionary history of the virus that causes Covid-19 and how there isn't just one ancestor, but several. Anti-Asian sentiment has seen a big increase since the pandemic. Dr Qian He, Postdoctoral Research Associate at Princeton University, looked into how US-China relations have influenced how Americans view Chinese today. And we hear from scientists on board the RRS Discovery, which is currently located near St Helena and Ascension Island, surveying the health of the surrounding ocean. On board documentary filmmaker Lawrence Eagling talks to Shona Murray, pelagic ecologist from the University of Western Australia, and Gareth Flint, mechanical engineer at British Antarctic Survey, about their work and findings. Why don't we fall out of bed when we're asleep? That's the question that's been keeping CrowdScience listener Isaac in Ghana awake, and presenter Alex Lathbridge is determined to settle down with some experts and find an answer. Once our sleep experts are bedded in, we'll also be wondering why some people laugh in their sleep, why others snore and how some people can remember their dreams. And Alex takes a trip to the zoo to meet some animals that have very different sleep patterns to humans. It's his dream assignment. (Image credit: Getty Images)
