In this episode of Breaking Math, Autumn and Nicolas Niarchos critique the "green" narrative of lithium-ion technology. Tracing the industry from its 1991 commercialization to modern geopolitical tensions, the hosts expose the exploitation and environmental degradation inherent in global mining, particularly in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. By challenging the presumed sustainability of electric vehicles, they emphasize the need for supply chain transparency and urge listeners to adopt a more informed, ethically-conscious approach to modern consumption.Takeaways What does it really cost to power the future? The bargain as stated is clean energy in one part and at the other end, you have corruption, pollution, and human suffering. The greenest vehicle is not always the electric one; it depends on the entire lifecycle of the product. We need to improve conditions on the ground, not just extract resources. Corruption is unfortunately a fact of life and is very closely related to extraction.Chapters 00:00 Introduction and Background 03:24 The Journey to Congo and Corruption 07:13 The Birth of Lithium-Ion Batteries 09:35 The Uneven Global Bargain 12:16 Mining vs. Oil: A Different Kind of Harm 13:56 Onshoring Battery Production: Challenges and Opportunities 17:13 China's Dominance in Battery Manufacturing 18:51 The Race in Battery Technology 21:39 Corruption and Poverty in the Congo 24:31 The Human Cost of Mining 29:12 Health Impacts of Mining 31:52 Colonial Legacy and Modern Mining 34:00 The Future of Battery Technology 39:12 Introduction to Complex Narratives 39:53 The Reality of Resource Extraction 39:59 Embracing Curiosity and ReflectionFollow Nick on Twitter, and you can get his book here.Subscribe to Breaking Math wherever you get your podcasts.Follow Breaking Math on Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, Website, YouTube, TikTokFollow Autumn on Twitter, BlueSky, and InstagramBecome a guest hereemail: breakingmathpodcast@gmail.com

A new year doesn’t need better intentions, it needs divine power. In this New Year episode of The Uncommon Christian Podcast, Jon Ellis exposes why so many believers feel spiritually exhausted: they’re trying to live the Christian life without the Holy Spirit leading it. The Spirit-filled life isn’t emotional hype or theological preference — it’s the difference between survival and victory. In this episode, you’ll discover: ● Why willpower and discipline can’t sustain obedience ● What Scripture actually says about the role of the Holy Spirit ● How cultural Christianity replaced power with effort ● Practical steps to enter the new year Spirit-led, not burned out If you’re tired of striving, stuck in cycles, or hungry for real transformation, this episode resets everything. Willpower has never transformed anyone. In this New Year episode, Jon Ellis reveals why the Spirit-filled life isn’t optional, it’s essential. You don’t need a new calendar; you need new power.

What really counts when it comes to sterile storage—and what risks are hiding beneath the surface? On this episode of Power Supply, we're joined by Garrett Hollembeak, Infection Preventionist and AAMI TIR109 workgroup member, to explore the new guidance reshaping how sterile supplies are stored and transported. From temperature and humidity to chain-of-custody policies and receiving challenges, Garrett explains how TIR109 lays the foundation for smarter, safer sterile storage management. We'll also dig into cardboard debates, environment-of-care rounds, and the gray areas where policy, practice, and patient safety collide. Most importantly, Garrett highlights how supply chain and infection prevention can work hand-in-hand to close the gaps that put sterile storage at risk. Whether you're a supply chain leader, infection preventionist, or SPD manager, this conversation will change the way you think about storage!

What if the future of supply chain software wasn't just “AI-enabled” but built on AI from the ground up? On this episode of Power Supply, we're joined by Stan Garber, Co-Founder & President at Levelpath, to explore what “AI native” really means, why it matters, and what you need to know. From tackling fragmented supplier data to reimagining procurement workflows, Stan breaks down how next-gen AI applications could slash project timelines, transform decision-making, and deliver insights you didn't know you needed. Along the way, we'll cover surprising headlines—like how Microsoft is turning to nuclear power to fuel AI demand—and why health systems can't afford to wait on this tech revolution. Whether you're curious, cautious, or already on the AI train, this episode will have you rethinking the future of supply chain.

Severe power cuts hit Spain, Portugal and parts of France this week, cutting the lights and stopping flights, trains, and ATM machines in their tracks. The Spanish grid operator has said it's ruled out a cyber-attack, but the reason behind what happened is still unclear. We speak to Keith Bell, Professor of Electronic and Electrical Engineering at the University of Strathclyde, and David Brayshaw, Professor of Climate Science and Energy Meteorology at the University of Reading, to ask whether the UK's power supply could be just as vulnerable to a major blackout.Presenter Victoria Gill hears about how cyborg cockroaches are being developed to try to help at disaster scenes. We're also joined by science journalist Caroline Steel to discuss the week's standout science news. And we find out how a critically endangered salamander, the axolotl, could hold the biological key to repairing damaged spinal cords.Presenter: Victoria Gill Producers: Clare Salisbury, Dan Welsh and Gerry Holt Editor: Martin Smith Production Co-ordinator: Jana Bennett-Holesworth
