In today's episode, he discusses how he made his first million and why he chose to move on from the rat race and center his family. Professor Galloway discusses everything from how the culture can help produce healthier young men, the damage social media does to the psyche, how the addiction to cell phones has reduced the "slow-dopa" teenagers produce, and how youth in politics could positively impact the nation.

Send us a textIs it okay to be a man in today's world? Join us as we disucss "Professor G's" thoughts on "aspirational masculinity" and how it stands in stark contrast to the often criticized "toxic masculinity." We explore the perceptions young men face, feeling sidelined in political and social realms, while celebrating their distinct attributes from a Catholic perspective. How might men and women move towards cooperation rather than competition.Is gender-specific programming a good thing? We reflect on both media and spiritual outreach and share the dynamic ways to engage men spiritually, drawing inspiration from nature-based activities and father-son retreats. Discover how targeted approaches can foster more profound connections, illustrated by personal anecdotes and strategies that reveal the diverse interests of different genders. St. Charles Borromeo Parish's men's choir is a great example here.Church Search visits St. John Neumann and their vibrant music ministry. We discuss the power of complementary voices and the playful dynamics that arise from our contrasting tastes in celebrations. Readings for this week can be found here.

A Note from James:"The Algebra of Wealth" is a very good book by Scott Galloway and I had a very good conversation with him about how to create wealth, along with all the mistakes he's ever made. He's started nine companies: two were super successful, and several were pretty successful. He's talked about entrepreneurship so much. He's a really smart guy and these lessons are about building wealth. I wish I had known them when I was younger. I wish my kids would know them and I want your kids to know them. So pay attention to this conversation I'm about to have with Scott Galloway, Professor G. Episode Description:Today's interview with Scott Galloway focuses on financial security, investment strategies, and the interplay of personal life and professional ambitions. Galloway shares his journey of founding nine companies, the crucial role of location, network, character, and luck in achieving wealth, and the lessons learned from failures. He advocates for investing in low-cost index funds over stock picking or day trading, especially in a fluctuating economy, using Nvidia as an illustrative example. Additionally, he reflects on how New York City has shaped their careers and personal lives, providing a rounded perspective on achieving economic security amidst market uncertainties post the 2008 financial crisis. The conversation is a blend of professional advice on savings and investment, underscored by the importance of maintaining a balance for long-term success.Episode Summary:00:00 Introduction to 'The Algebra of Wealth'00:46 A Deep Dive into Scott Galloway's Life and Career Moves03:15 The Essence of Building Wealth and Embracing Opportunities11:34 Navigating the Complexities of Career Choices in Your 20s29:10 The Realities of Entrepreneurship and Overcoming Rejection33:05 The Journey of Entrepreneurship and Personal Growth33:31 The Power of Self-Belief and Persistence33:46 Navigating Relationships and Personal Happiness34:41 The Importance of Networking and Surrounding Yourself with Success48:06 Financial Strategies and the Value of Saving55:01 Career Choices and Finding Your Path57:13 Overcoming Failure and Building Resilience58:40 Wealth, Lifestyle, and Financial Freedom01:03:39 Investment Strategies for Long-Term Success01:06:13 Reflecting on Life Choices and the Future of New York ------------What do YOU think of the show?

In Berkeley Talks episode 195, UC Berkeley professors discuss how and why psychedelic substances first evolved, the effects they have in the human brain and mind, and the mechanism behind their potential therapeutic role."If it's true that the therapeutic effects are in part because we're returning to this state of susceptibility, and vulnerability, and ability to learn from our environment similar to childhood," says psychology Professor Gül Dölen, "then if we just focus on the day of the trip and don't instead also focus our therapeutic efforts on those weeks after, where the critical period is presumably still open, then we're missing the opportunity to really integrate those insights that happen during the trip into the rest of the network of memories that are supporting those learned behaviors."And then the caution is that we don't want to be opening up these critical periods and then, for example, returning people to a traumatic environment or exposing them to potentially bad actors … So we want to be very careful about the way that we take care of patients after they've been in this open state of the critical period."Panelists of this March 27, 2024 event included: Imran Khan (moderator): Executive director of the Berkeley Center for the Science of Psychedelics (BCSP).Gül Dölen: Renee & U.S. Marine Lance Cpl. Bob Parsons Endowed Chair in psychology, psychedelics, and neuroscience; professor in the Department of Psychology.Daniela Kaufer: Professor in the Department of Integrative Biology and in the Helen Wills Neuroscience Institute; associate dean of biological sciences.Noah Whiteman: Professor of integrative biology and of molecular and cell biology; faculty director of the Essig Museum of Entomology.Michael Silver: Professor in the Herbert Wertheim School of Optometry and Vision Science and in the Helen Wills Neuroscience Institute; faculty director of BCSP.Listen to the episode and read the transcript on Berkeley News (news.berkeley.edu/podcasts).Music by Blue Dot Sessions.UC Berkeley photo of Daniela Kaufer.

In Barcelona, FEPS Secretary General, László Andor, talks with Professor Gösta Esping-Andersen, whose name is familiar to all who have studied sociology or political economy in the last 30 years. They explore the connection between the role of families in reproduction, the quest for gender equality, and rising social inequalities. Professor Esping-Andersen shares his view about the resilience of welfare states against crises such as the pandemic but also the current war in Ukraine, and he does not hide his opinion on the migration policy of the Danish government. The link between social democratic identity and the universalist welfare state appears as a key part of the conversation, which ends with outlining a potential role for the European Union in support of the well-being of children.

You've gotten to a place where you point-blank asked someone what their values are. You have the answer—but it wasn't the one you were looking for. It's clear that you have differing beliefs. Now you're at a crossroads: What do you do? You can't persuade someone to change their beliefs. Negotiating over differing beliefs is a far different process than negotiating over interests. You can't just say “Let's split the difference” or you'll insult them. You can provide arguments, evidence, justifications, rationales, stories, etc. but will it make an impact? Author and Professor G. Richard Shell dives into this complicated topic in this throwback episode of Negotiations Ninja. Don't miss it!
Schwammregion und Schwammstadt: Neue Lösung gegen Überschwemmungen und Dürren? Die Auswirkungen des Klimawandels auf Städte und ländliche Regionen ist eines der aktuellen Top-Themen in unserer Gesellschaft. Durch die Folgen einer stetigen Zunahme extremer Wetterereignisse wie Trockenheit, Überschwemmungen und Hitze in den letzten Jahren muss das Wassermanagement in der Stadtplanung jetzt neu gedacht werden. Als ein wirksames Mittel, Städte und Regionen klimaresilienter zu machen, wird vermehrt die Transformation urbaner Räume in sogenannte Schwammstädte oder Schwammregionen empfohlen. Wasserexperte und Stiftungsprofessor Günter Müller-Czygan von der Hochschule Hof spricht über Beispiele wie Berlin, Bamberg und Selbitz und erklärt wie nicht nur hier Gründächer, Rückhaltebecken, Spielplätze und Rigolen ihren Einsatz finden, sondern auch in Industriebetrieben und der Hochschule Hof.

From 2012-2022, and in the midst of a major construction boom, Turkiye fell nearly 50 places on the Transparency International Corruption Perception Index, from 54 to 101 out of 174 countries. The country has been praised for its ability to do infrastructure quickly, but the level of damage caused by a recent 7.8-magnitude quake has drawn greater attention to the amount of corruption in Turkiye's construction industry. With more than 45,000 dead, over $100 billion in damage, and 25,000 buildings reduced to rubble, Turkish citizens are outraged at the disorganized government response and the lack of proper preparation and are calling for greater government accountability. Just three months before a scheduled election, President Erdogan and his government are under intense scrutiny for the amount of damage, with a spotlight on the corrupt policies that allowed developers to cut corners on safety.Fredrik and Leilani sit down for two separate conversations on these recent events. First, they meet with Professor Gönül Tol, founding director of the Middle East Institute's Turkey Program, senior fellow for the Frontier Europe Initiative, and author of "Erdogan's War: A Strongman's Struggle at Home and in Syria," to recount her experience on the ground during the earthquake and to discuss how Erdogan instituted an autocracy that weakened Turkiye's vital institutions.Then, they speak with Cihan Uzuncarsili Baysal, a member of Istanbul Urban Defense and an independent researcher, to discuss how Turkiye's economic and political history brought us to this moment.Support the show

Professor Günther Schuh befasst sich als Wissenschaftler und Unternehmer mit disruptiven Innovationen, Informations- und Produktionsmanagement sowie nachhaltigen Mobilitätslösungen. Aus dem Umfeld der Elektromobilität ist er sicherlich mit drei Firmen, an welchen er maßgeblich beteiligt war (Gründer und CEO), ein Begriff: StreetScooter, e.GO Mobile AG und e.GO MOOVE. Mit seinem mittlerweile vierten Projekt wolle er nun abermals die Mobilität verändern. e.Volution, auf diesen Namen lautet sein viertes Unternehmen, welches er neben seiner Professur am Lehrstuhl für Produktionssystematik, an der RWTH Aachen University, gegründet hat. Im gemeinsamen Podcast haben wir uns über e.Volution und die Vision dahinter unterhalten. Haben aber auch ein paar Zahlen, Daten und Fakten an die Hand bekommen, wie das erste Elektro-Fahrzeug, welches im industriellen Kreislaufwirtschaft-Ansatz erdacht wurde, die Mobilität von Morgen verändern kann. Nachhaltigkeit kommt in diesem Fall nicht durch verbesserte Prozesse zum Vorschein. Sondern durch das Entfallen eben dieser. Ohne hierbei Nachteile beim Fahrzeug selbst in Kauf zu nehmen. Ganz im Gegenteil. Durch den Wasserstoff-Hybrid-Antrieb gebe es fast so etwas wie "unendliche Reichweite", insofern man das Prinzip dahinter für sich auch in die Tat umzusetzen vermag. All dies zahlt darauf ein, dass der SUV, als auch der Batterie-Bus Meta als umweltfreundlichste E-Fahrzeuge der Welt gelten. Im Detail gibt es wie gewohnt sämtliche Infos und Einblicke im Podcast. Von daher viel Freude bei dem Gespräch mit Prof. Günther Schuh von e.Volution. Es lohnt sich reinzuhören!

Therapien bei Parkinson-Syndromen, die an der Pathogenese eingreifen, können inzwischen klinisch getestet werden. Wie sie funktionieren, erklärt Professor Günther Höglinger, Vorstandsmitglied der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Parkinson und Bewegungsstörungen.
In this first podcast of our series on new technologies, we welcomed back Iscaffpharma by chatting with Per Setterberg, CEO and Professor Göran Landberg, CMO. Göran talks to us about how pre-clinical testing in human tumor microenvironment and synthetic copies of the same adds value to drug screening of oncology drugs. The model creates a pre-clinical fingerprint that mimics the potential effect a drug will have in humans, as well as reduces the need for animal models. Dive in with us as we go in depth into the use of 3D printed scaffolds in cancer drug screening, the ethical considerations behind removing the use of animal models, and what future advances they see in using their technology. Iscaffpharma is a Bio-Tech company focusing on developing better treatments of aggressive cancers. To learn more about their research and work, check out their publications here. Registration is now open for the 2022 AI Data Pipelines for Life Sciences Symposium in Seattle, WA, September 26-27.This two-day symposium will allow participants to explore how AI data pipelines are integrated into the life sciences.

Studying history enables us to develop a better understanding of the world in which we live. But what about our herstory? According to our guest this week, there's still surprisingly little known about even the most famous and powerful women in Ottoman times. Professor Gülhan Balsoy teaches the history of women, labour and medicine during the late-Ottoman period at Istanbul Bilgi University. She helps us dive into the archives to understand the female figures who shaped society over the centuries, from Hürrem Sultana to the lesser-known everyday characters. For a deeper dive, you can read Professor Balsoy's writing about the Haseki Hospital or the Cibali Regie Factory as well as her article "The Politics of Reproduction in Ottoman Society, 1838–1900".

Wie bringt man Nachhaltigkeit und Tourismuswachstum unter einen Hut? Dieser topaktuellen Frage widmet sich die zweite Folge unseres Tourismus-Podcasts „Be/rgegnungen“. Als Gesprächspartner für Themen wie CO2-Kompensation, sanften Tourismus oder Overtourism hat Theresa Haid diesmal Herrn Prof. Dr. Stefan Gössling eingeladen. Er ist Professor für Tourismus an der Linnéuniversität in Kalmar, Schweden, und führt gemeinsam mit seiner Frau einen ökologischen Ferienbauernhof auf Öland.Gerade nach einer längeren Zeit mit Reisebeschränkungen wächst die Reiselust und die Sehnsucht nach unbeschwertem Freizeitvergnügen. Um Urlaubsreisen für die breite Masse zu ermöglichen, hat man in den letzten Jahrzehnten vielerorts massentaugliche Konzepte und Kapazitäten geschaffen, die allerdings zunehmend hinterfragt werden. Der Urlaub in den Alpen bleibe weiterhin ein unschlagbares Produkt, meint Professor Gössling. Und in einer zunehmend unsicheren Welt werde Europa auch in Zukunft zu den Gewinnern des touristischen Wachstums gehören.

Welcome back Reel Friends! This week, we landed on a very special category; Alex's Choice! With nothing holding him back like a specific genre or category, Alex chose one of his all time favorite movies Ladykillers! Ladykillers is about Professor G.H. Dorr (Tom Hanks), a courtly Southern gentleman, who arrives at the home of devout, elderly Marva Munson (Irma P. Hall), hoping to rent her extra room and use her basement to rehearse with his classical music ensemble. His fellow musicians, however, are actually criminals, and together they plan to rob a casino. When Mrs. Munson learns of their plan, they decide she must be silenced. Certainly, murdering one little old lady cannot be too difficult. Curious to hear how it ends? Then sit back, relax, and enjoy this week's episode of Spin The Reel!Don't forget to rate and subscribe! You can find us on all social media platforms under Spin The Reel Podcast.

While excellent newsletters on specific themes within public policy already exist, this thought letter is about frameworks, mental models, and key ideas that will hopefully help you think about any public policy problem in imaginative ways.Audio narration by Ad-Auris. Global Policy Watch: Global Order - Where Will It Come From? Bringing an Indian perspective to burning global issues- RSJA couple of recent events made me wonder about the state of global affairs these days and an excuse to write about Hedley Bull and his famous book, The Anarchical Society – A Study of Order in World Politics (1977). Take the incredible story of Belarus forcing down a Ryanair flight while it was in its airspace to arrest Roman Protasevich, a dissident who runs a popular Telegram channel widely used to protest against the regime of the dictator Alexander Lukashenko. A MiG 29 fighter jet was used to force the flight carrying 170 passengers to make a u-turn and land at the Minsk airport. This was a state sponsored hijacking with overt support from President Putin of Russia. The EU condemned the incident and banned any carriers from flying over the Belarusian airspace. But barring strong press statements and warnings there wasn’t much teeth in the response from the West. Meanwhile, Russia and Belarus upped the ante. On Thursday, Russia refused to let planes land in Moscow that were planning to bypass Belarus. The EU plans to apply sanctions on Belarus who is a signatory to the 1944 Chicago convention that established common rules of aviation safety. But Belarus could hardly be bothered. It was their airspace, their perception of threat to their sovereignty and they are going to apply their laws. And they have Russia backing them. Who are you to ask questions? That’s their dare to the NATO and EU. The other story that broke in the middle of last week is of Whatsapp suing the government of India over the Information Technology (Guidelines for Intermediaries and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021 which came into effect in May 26. Now there are reasons why the Government wants to regulate social media platforms. We have often spoken about radically networked societies (RNS) here and how difficult it is for a hierarchical setup to counter the speed with which RNS mobilise themselves. This speed or the virality of the social media platform can pose real danger to society when used to spread rumours, hate speech and abusive content. So, regulations are welcome if they address this problem. There are two points of contention in the Intermediary rules though for Whatsaspp. The first is the demand for the traceability as written in Rule 4(2) of the guidelines. It requires a messaging platform to enable the identification of the first originator of information when demanded through a judicial order or an order passed by a competent authority as per IT Rules, 2009. This is a problem for Whatsapp (or any end-to-end encryption messaging service). They can only know the first originator if they start tagging each message with a unique identifier and create a metadata for tracking and marking every message on its platform. This is non-trivial technical problem to solve but more pertinently this will mean the ability of the platform to trace every message and know its details. This violation of privacy of every user of the platform to know the details of a select few doesn’t pass the test of proportionality. So, this should be unacceptable to any end-to-end encrypted messaging platform.The second issue here is the very broad nature of what can constitute grounds for seeking this information. Like most laws this involves messages that are specifically criminal in nature like child pornography, sexual abuse etc. But like the definition of free speech in the Indian Constitution, they also include subjective grounds like threatening sovereignty and security of India or creating law and order problems. These subjective interpretation could be abused to seek information about anyone. Any rule should be drafted with a view on how it could be used for wrong ends by anyone in the future. The current reassurance given in the law that there will be no requirement of disclosure of the message or the sender has no meaning when the demand for the originator is made based on the message itself. There are three arguments being made against Whatsapp on this case that merits discussion. One, Facebook (that owns Whatsapp) has built a business model by collating all kinds of data about its users (with or without consent). So, irony kills itself when Facebook claims to be a champion of privacy. This is true except for one important point. Facebook isn’t a state. It abuses data for its commercials gains. You can call it an exemplar of the surveillance economy. But a state having access to that kind of data is different. The state has the monopoly of violence over its subjects. No company has that. A surveillance state is a completely different ball game than a surveillance driven business model. Two, Whatsapp cannot wash its hands off any responsibility for the messages that flow through its platform. This is correct and Whatsapp should be asked to provide mechanisms through which messages that are flagged by its users, a judicial or a competent authority as abusive or illegal can be restricted from being passed along any further. This must be asked of all social media platforms. Asking for the originator of a message, however, opens up a Pandora’s box that directly impinges on individual liberty. Three, there’s an interesting argument made that Whatsapp cannot go against the law of the land. This is a bit troubling. Whatsapp has been in India for many years following the law of the land. It disagrees with a particular clause in a new set of rules and it is contesting that in the court of law. This is usual judicial procedure. This isn’t an MNC challenging the sovereignty of India as it is being made out. Those making these arguments either want to use the easiest crutch of nationalism to obfuscate the principle of privacy on which Whatsapp is making the argument or have their own vested interests in ‘digital nationalism’. In any case, there isn’t a final privacy law that has been debated and passed by the parliament. So, the point of challenging the law of the land on this topic is itself moot. Enforcing Global OrderThere is a broader point I want to discuss based on these incidents. Is there any legitimate global authority left that can enforce any kind of global order any more? Who will stand up for basic human rights like the freedom to dissent, to question the powerful or the right to privacy? Is there a need for a global policeman, a competent and empowered multilateral institution or a rules based order, that will question a nation-state about its actions? Or, will nations justify all their acts under the cover of sovereignty? We talk about international relations quite often here. Pranay uses Matsyanyaya (big fish eating small fish) as the principle that guides relations between nation-states. This is what’s termed as the realist view. Nations act in their self-interest and they form alliances or take positions that furthers it in the long term. A cynical view of this would be to think of nation-states in a Hobbesian ‘state of nature’. Of course, the reality isn’t exactly this. Nations help other nations, agree mutually on a common set of rules to guide their behaviour and set up multilateral organisations to follow a code of conduct in global affairs. Yet the realist will say these sound great on paper but cannot be enforced unless there is a real possibility of a more powerful nation or nations threatening real harm to another nation which isn’t toeing the line. Stripped of all niceties, multilateral organisations depend on a global power to maintain world order. It is matsyanyaya after all.After the fall of USSR, the overwhelming consensus was the liberal, democratic global order will have a long, uninterrupted reign. Nations will recognise this to be the ultimate political and social end and they will strive to be co-opted into this order. History, in that sense, had ended. But that was not to be. There were two reasons for that. One was philosophical: an ideology without a counter loses it raison d'etre. The nature of the political rests on the Schmittian ‘friend’ versus ‘enemy’ divide like we often say here. It will splinter from within over time and find its own enemies. That’s what happened eventually to the liberal, democratic hegemony as the extremes on both left and right pared it away. The second reason or a set of reasons was rooted in specific events and it was more substantive. The Iraq War based on fake reports of weapons of mass destruction possessed by the regime, the global financial crisis (GFC) and the policy response that led to delegitimisation of globalisation among the masses, and the spectacular rise of China that benefitted from global trade but didn’t turn into a liberal, democracy as was expected - all of these events fanned populist movements across democracies and turned them insular. The liberal democratic world order lost its bearings. It was the light that failed.So, here we are. Notwithstanding the recent moves of the Biden administration to undo the Trumpean ‘America First’ stand, it is evident the US remains reluctant to lead a world order to promote liberal democratic values in the way it did during the Cold War. Then we have Xi Jinping advocating a ‘community of common destiny’ that conveniently sidesteps any values that are inconvenient to China. And global MNCs and tech giants with user base larger than most countries aren’t interested in taking a stand on liberal internationalism. That has dissolved any hopes many had on globalisation countering great power rivalries, trumping rules of non-intervention in matters of sovereign states and promoting an order based on commercial interests. That old Friedman chestnut about no two nations that both had McDonald’s will ever fight a war against each other is well and truly buried. So, what kind of a world order should we hope for in a future?Bull And Neo-MedievalismStrangely, that’s what brings me to Hedley Bull’s The Anarchical Society. Bull accepts the idea of Matsyanyaaya but argues for an international society that’s built on anarchy with some kinds of overlapping natural checks and balances. Bull argued any kind of hegemonic world order like what the liberal democratic order aspired for post Cold War or the dreams of some kind of universal government are bound to end in disappointment. Instead, he suggested the society could move towards what he termed ‘neo-medievalism’, a system that would:“avoid the classic dangers of the system of sovereign states by a structure of overlapping structures and cross-cutting loyalties that hold all peoples together in a universal society while at the same time avoiding the concentration inherent in a world government" He used neo-medievalism from the order that was prevalent in western Christendom in the middle ages:“It is also conceivable that sovereign states might disappear and be replaced not by a world government but by a modern and secular equivalent of the kind of universal political organisation that existed in Western Christendom in the Middle Ages. In that system no ruler or state was sovereign in the sense of being supreme over a given territory and a given segment of the Christian population; each had to share authority with vassals beneath, and with the Pope and (in Germany and Italy) the Holy Roman Emperor above. The universal political order of Western Christendom represents an alternative to the system of states which does not yet embody universal government.” It appears to me we are in this kind of a nether space today. In the foreword to the 2012 edition of Bull’s book, Andrew Hurrell wrote perceptively about why Bull remains relevant in this age:“And yet, it remains plausible to argue that alternative global frameworks for order are either pluralistic and contested (for example transnational civil society) or efficient but highly unstable (as in case of markets and the global economy). Yes, the past 35 years have seen an intensification of economic and social globalisation , but the inequalities and discontent of globalisation have generated increased political strains both internationally and within many states, and have undermined the notion that globalisation will lead easily or unproblematically to shared values, resilient institutions, or to a meaningful global moral community. Yes, the density of the norms, rules and institutions of international society has increased tremendously, often pushing in liberal direction. And yet Bull’s scepticism may still be merited: whose solidarist or liberal order? What kind of liberal and liberalising order is it that seeks to promote democracy but ignores distributive justice and brushes aside calls for the democratisation of global decision making? How stable and how legitimate can a liberal order be when it depends so heavily on the hegemony of the single superpower whose history is so exceptionalist and whose attitude to international law and institutions has been so ambivalent? How will international society confront its current triple challenge - a power transition driven by rise of new emerging powers; a structural transition in the scope of cooperation as governments have to face a series of complex and often inter-connected global challenges; and a cultural transition as both state power and the dynamics of the global economy move beyond the West.” In a world still fighting a pandemic where the absence of global order was felt in our uncoordinated response and our inability still to inoculate the world together, Bull’s warning about premature celebration of global solidarity rings true. A reimagining of the world order is necessary. But no one knows where it will come from. PolicyWTF: Ek Machchar…This section looks at egregious public policies. Policies that make you go: WTF, Did that really happen?- RSJThere’s that old joke about Roger Federer (RF) and his Indian Fan (IF). IF: Do you know Indians buy the maximum number of tennis balls and racquets in the world?RF: Oh! Must mean a lot of Indian kids playing tennis then.IF: No. We play cricket with tennis balls.RF: Then what do you do with the racquets?IF: We use them to kill mosquitoes.The mosquito killing electronic racquets are ubiquitous in India. You will find them at homes, at shops and with anyone who works outdoors in the evenings (watchmen especially). There are reasons, of course. First, the excessive use of DDT and then liquid mosquito repellents have meant mosquitoes that have mutated to resist them. Two, liquid mosquito repellents are expensive with a refill costing Rs. 50-70 that are needed almost every two weeks. Three, liquid repellents need constant supply of electricity and are useless outdoors.I don’t want to go into the familiar lament of the state not being able to provide safe air and a mosquito-free environment to its citizens in 70 years. In fact, things have gotten worse. Almost no one who grew up in 70s-90s remembers dengue or chikungunya being the kind of epidemic they have turned out to be in the last two decades. The electronic mosquito-killing racquet was therefore a lovely little contraption. Priced between Rs 200-300, these could last a few months and once charged could be used for a few days uninterrupted. Importantly, they could be used outdoors which made it popular among those who worked outdoors in the evenings. Indian traders mostly imported these racquets (at likely import price below Rs 120) and incurred the import duties, costs of storing and distributing these racquets far and wide. Now read this. The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) in a notification dated April 26 has prohibited the import of “mosquito killer racquet” (their words) if the C.I.F. (cost, insurance and freight) value is below Rs. 121 per racquet. Of course, the process that led to the threshold being precisely Rs. 121 is something I want to study when I grow up. Anyway, the general idea appears to be to become Aatmanirbhar in making these racquets and not allow cheap imports dumped in India.We have elaborated on the unintended consequences of such steps in umpteen editions. But we are never tired of repeating them. Here’s what will happen:Jugaad will set in quickly. Traders will ask importers to increase the prices of their racquets above Rs. 120 and overinvoice them. The same racquets will now cost more.Once this jugaad is noticed, we might prohibit any import. There will then be a short term shortage in supply of racquets as we won’t be able to up our domestic production capacity to meet demand. The price of racquets will go up.In the absence of imports, there won’t be an incentive for domestic manufacturers to compete with the best. This could lead to poor quality of racquets and a permanent higher prices for them in future. In any case, there is a price floor set now of Rs. 121. We have seen this film play out all through the 60s-80s across sectors.Unfortunately, the poor will suffer the most. The short term supply shortage will hurt and then the elevated prices will bite (apart from the mosquitoes whose karma is to bite)There’s a lot that ‘mosquito killer racquets’ and their import prohibition tells about our public policy over the past seven decades. But I will let Nana Patekar do the talking.India Policy Watch: The Wicked Problem of the Shrinking Women’s WorkforceInsights on burning policy issues in India— Pranay KotasthaneIndia’s continually declining female labour force participation rate from 30 per cent in 1990 to nearly 20 per cent in 2019 is a cause of much concern. Despite a rise in education levels and a drop in fertility rates, a greater proportion of women are unable to secure paid jobs. Thanks to a robust research community that has developed over the last decade or so, we know a lot more about this worrying trend. To crudely summarise their work, it seems that this wicked problem is not just a government failure but also an enduring social failure. Take the social failure. Ambedkar had written that the caste system is not merely a division of labour but an unnatural division of labourers into watertight compartments. This description partly applies to social norms regarding female employment as well. A false notion that women are better suited for domestic work — both household chores and child care — while men are suited only for outside work has created an unnatural division of workers. This is not merely a division of work as there is no evidence to show that men have an innate comparative advantage over women in doing outside work or that women have an edge over men in doing domestic work. Solutions for addressing this social problem by the government include familiar ideas such as reducing income tax for women, family leave policies and mandating childcare facilities at workplaces. But such solutions are likely to make no dents on female unemployment in an overwhelmingly informal economy. Instead, there is still one underrated measure where governments can help. By enabling economic growth. The last decade has been one of missed opportunities, regulations that make it difficult for companies to hire people, and falling economic pace. Consequently, the economy has not been able to absorb India’s growing working age cohort, both male and female. Unless the overall supply of non-agricultural jobs increases, the problem of falling women’s labour force participation cannot be addressed in any meaningful way. As far as the social failure is concerned, it requires solutions far beyond the government. In my view, the fantastic research and storytelling in this area is our best bet at creating what Cass Sunstein calls ‘norm entrepreneurs’. Social norms are more fragile than they are thought to be. Entrepreneurs who challenge existing norms can create fast-paced norm cascades. On that note, I want to plug a Puliyabaazi conversation with Mahima Vashisht, creator of the Womaning in India newsletter. I increasingly feel that this is perhaps the most important topic that we have ever discussed on the podcast.

On this edition of VIEW to the U, Professor Anna Korteweg from the Department of Sociology at U of T Mississauga talks about the motivations behind her research in immigration integration, policy and practices. She also outlines the work she has done with her long-time collaborator from Humboldt University in Germany, Professor Gökçe Yurdakul. Very much in keeping with this “Adventures in Research” season of the podcast, Anna has a couple of academic anecdotes to share, but she also talks about the influence and importance of stories people tell, as well as the life lessons to be learned from knitting, Her research focuses on the political debates regarding the integration of Muslim immigrants at the intersections of gender, religion, ethnicity and national origin in Western Europe and Canada. She has analyzed debates surrounding the wearing of the headscarf, “honour-based” violence, and Sharia law. Anna joined the faculty at UTM in 2004 and served as the Chair of UTM’s Department of Sociology from 2015-20. A full transcript of this interview is available at https://uoft.me/6pb. Resources - For more about Anna's work, see her website at https://www.utm.utoronto.ca/sociology/people/anna-c-korteweg. - In the interview, Anna mentioned Hot Docs as a great place to see some documentaries, https://www.hotdocs.ca/. - She also mentioned the book The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison as a great fantasy-genre read, https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17910048-the-goblin-emperor. - Lastly, she mentioned the Yarn Harlot, a blog by Stephanie Pearl-McPhee that is a pleasant diversion about knitting and life lessons, https://www.yarnharlot.ca/.

This week’s episode features author Karolina Szummer and Associate Editor Emmanouil Brilakis as they discuss the article "Comparison Between Ticagrelor and Clopidogrel in Elderly Patients with an Acute Coronary Syndrome: Insights from the SWEDEHEART Registry." TRANSCRIPT BELOW Dr Carolyn Lam: Welcome to Circulation on the Run. Your weekly podcast summary and backstage pass to the journal and its editors. I'm Dr Carolyn Lam, Associate Editor from the National Heart Center and Duke National University of Singapore. Dr Greg Hundley: And I'm Dr Greg Hundley, Director of the Pauley Heart Center at VCU Health in Richmond, Virginia. Carolyn, this week's feature article, we're going to investigate antiplatelet therapy use, but in older patients, as opposed to those that are middle-aged, and have sustained a prior acute myocardial infarction. But, before we get to that, how about we grab a cup of coffee and jump into the other papers in the issue? Dr Carolyn Lam: Absolutely, Greg. I've got my coffee right here, and I really want to start with a paper that adds to our understanding of, guess what, the sodium=glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors, SGLT2 inhibitors, and their diuretic and natriuretic effects in combination with loop diuretics. Of course, a clinically really important question since now we know that SGLT2 inhibitors improve outcomes in patients with heart failure in whom they are likely to be co-prescribed with a loop diuretic. So, Professor Chim Lang from University of Dundee and his colleagues performed the RECEDE-CHF trial, which was a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled crossover trial of 23 patients with type 2 diabetes and HF REF taking regular loop diuretics who were randomized to the SGLT2 inhibitor empagliflozin 25 milligrams once daily or placebo for 6 weeks with a 2-week washout period. The primary outcome was change in 24-hour urine volume from baseline at week 6. Dr Greg Hundley: So, empa versus placebo. What did they find? Dr Carolyn Lam: In patients with heart failure and type 2 diabetes taking a regular loop diuretic, empagliflozin caused a significant increase in urine volume at both day 3 and week 6, compared to placebo, as well as empa also caused a significant increase in electrolyte-free water clearance. Though there was a small non-significant increase in natural uresis with empagliflozin at day 3, this was absent by week 6. These results suggest that empagliflozin may have an advantageous diabetic profile in patients with type 2 diabetes and heart failure in addition to loop diuretics, with only a short transient natriuresis. Dr Greg Hundley: Very nice, Carolyn. Great information. Diuretics, heart failure reduced ejection fraction, and empagliflozin. Well, my clinical paper comes from Dr Renato Lopes from Duke University Medical Center, and this is a sub study from the ISCHEMIA trial that evaluates whether an initial invasive strategy in patients with stable ischemic heart disease and at least moderate ischemia improves outcomes in patients with a history of heart failure or left ventricular dysfunction when the EF is greater than 35%, but less than 45%. Dr Carolyn Lam: Aw, that mid-range ejection fraction. Favorite topic. So, Greg, what did they find? Dr Greg Hundley: Those with heart failure and left ventricular dysfunction randomized to the invasive versus the conservative strategy had a lower rate of the primary outcome, 17% versus 29%. Whereas those without heart failure and left ventricular dysfunction did not, 13% versus 14%. A similar differential effect was seen for the primary outcome, all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality, when invasive versus conservative strategy associated outcomes were analyzed with LVF as a continuous variable for those with and without prior heart failure. Dr Carolyn Lam: Wow, that is clinically important, Greg. So, can you summarize our take home message? Dr Greg Hundley: Well, Carolyn, ischemia trial participants with stable ischemic heart disease and at least moderate ischemia with a history of heart failure or LV dysfunction, were at increased risk for the primary outcome. And in this small high-risk subgroup with heart failure and an ETF between 35% and 45%, an initial invasive approach was associated with a better event free survival. This result should really be considered for hypothesis generation and future studies. Dr Carolyn Lam: Greg, for the next paper, do you remember hydrogen sulfide? The stuff we learned about in school. It's the gas with that characteristic foul odor of rotten eggs. Well, guess what? This whole paper is about hydrogen sulfide, and in the body, it actually has antihypertensive and anti-inflammatory effects, and its endogenous generation key enzyme is cystathionine gamma lyase, or CSE, and that's expressed in CD4+ T cells. So today's paper provides insights into how all of these players work together in the development of hypertension. To investigate the pathophysiological relevance of this CSE hydrogen sulfide system, co-corresponding authors, Doctors Geng and Cai from Fuwai hospital and Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Peking University Medical College, as well as Dr Xu from Peking University Health Science Center in Beijing. Well, they and their coauthors performed elegant experiments involving peripheral blood lymphocytes, isolated from hypertensive patients or spontaneously hypertensive rats. They also looked at mice with CSE-specific knockout in T cells, and CD4 null mice. Dr Greg Hundley: Well, Carolyn, what did they find? Dr Carolyn Lam: Well, they found that endogenous cystathionine gamma lyase, or CSE, and hydrogen sulfide, but not cystathionine beta-synthase, in lymphocytes, responded to blood pressure changes. Deleting CSE in CD4+ T cells exacerbated angiotensin II-induced hypertension by reducing circulatory and renal T regulatory numbers. Hydrogen sulfide from CSE self-hydrates, liver kinase 1, thereby activating the AMP kinase energy pathway to promote TReg differentiation and proliferation, which then attenuates the vascular and renal immune inflammation, and thus, prevents hypertension. Dr Greg Hundley: Carolyn, this sounds like a very thorough study. What are the clinical implications? Dr Carolyn Lam: Endogenous CSE hydrogen sulfide in lymphocytes may be both a potential biomarker of hypertension, or its complications, or hydrogen sulfide donor may be a therapeutic approach to lower hypertension. Dr Greg Hundley: Great, Carolyn. Well, my next paper comes from Professor Goo Taeg Oh from Ewha Women's University, and it really involves the world of inflammation. So Carolyn, as you know, macrophages produce many inflammation-associated molecules released by matrix metalloproteinases, such as adhesion molecules, as well as cytokines, which play a crucial role in atherosclerosis. In this paper, the authors investigated the relationship between Ninjurin-1, or nerve injury-induced protein 1, a novel MMP9 substrate expression, and atherosclerosis progression. Dr Carolyn Lam: Ninjurin-1? Interesting. So, what were the results? Dr Greg Hundley: Well, Carolyn, Ninj1 expression and atherosclerosis progression were assessed in atherosclerotic aortic tissue and serum samples from coronary artery disease patients and healthy controls, as well as athero-prone, apolipoprotein E-deficient, or APOE -/- wild type mice. Two important findings, Carolyn. First, the authors in vivo results conclusively showed a correlation between Ninj1 expression in aortic macrophages and the extent of human and mouse atherosclerotic lesions. Ninj1-deficient macrophages promoted pro-inflammatory gene expression by activating mitogene-activated protein kinase, or MAP kinase, and inhibiting the phosphoinositide 3-kinase signaling pathway. Whole-body and BM-specific Ninj1 deficiencies significantly increase monocyte recruitment and macrophage accumulation in atherosclerotic lesions through elevated macrophage-mediated inflammation. Now, in addition and secondly, macrophage Ninj1 was directly cleaved by MMP9 to generate a soluble form that exhibited anti-atherosclerotic effects, as assessed both in vitro and in vivo. Treatment with the sNinj1-mimetic peptides, ML56 and PN12, reduced proinflammatory gene expression in human and mouse classically activated macrophages, thereby attenuating monocyte transendothelial migration. Moreover, continuous administration of mPN12 alleviated atherosclerosis by inhibiting the enhanced monocyte recruitment and inflammation characteristics of the disorder in mice, regardless of the presence of Ninj1. So in summary, Carolyn, Ninj1 is a novel MMP9 substrate in macrophages, and sNinj1 is a secreted athero-protective protein that regulates macrophage inflammation and monocyte recruitment in atherosclerosis. Dr Carolyn Lam: Wow, Greg, that was incredibly summarized. Thank you. Let's go through what else there is in today's issue. In cardiology news, Bridget Kuhn talks about how the pandemic intensifies the push for home-based cardiac rehabilitation options. There's a white paper by Dr Ho and colleagues, including me, describing the diagnostic dilemma of HFpEF. There's a Research Letter by Dr Gill talking about the cardiometabolic trait sepsis and severe COVID-19, a Mendelian randomization investigation. There's also a Research Letter by Dr Wu on the atlas of exosomes microRNAs secreted from human iPSC-derived cardiac cell type. Dr Greg Hundley: Carolyn, this issue is just packed with articles, because I've got five more to tell our listeners about. First, it's a research letter from Professor G. Hovingh, entitled, Inclisiran Durably Lowers LDLC and PCSK9 Expression in Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia, The ORION-2 Pilot Study. Next, there's an ECG challenge from Dr Jason Gilge relating to AV conduction during atrial flutter. Next, Dr Keith Churchwell has a nice piece related to the importance of those involved in cardiovascular care and participating in their civic duties, including voting. Next, Professor Karthikeyan has nice On My Mind related to overestimation of stroke risk and rheumatic mitral stenosis and the implications for oral anticoagulation. And finally, Carolyn, another research letter, from Dr Pieter van Paassen, entitled, Neutrophils and Contact Activation of Coagulation as Potential Drivers of COVID-19. Well, Carolyn, how about we get on to our feature discussion and review in older patients, which antiplatelet therapy may be safest? Dr Carolyn Lam: Let's go! Dr Greg Hundley: Well, listeners, now we're turning to our feature discussion, and today we'll talk about antiplatelet therapy. And then we have with us, Dr Karolina Szummer from Karolinska Institutet, and our own Associate Editor, Dr Manos Brilakis from the Minneapolis Heart Institute. Welcome to you both, and Karolina, let's start with you. Could you describe for us your hypothesis and some of the background information that led you to perform this study? Dr Karolina Szummer: Thank you so much for having me here and for sharing the ideas behind our study. Current recommendations recommend that we use high-potent antiplatelet agents for treating myocardial infarctions, and in particular, elderly patients are not included. So we decided to do an observational study to look at patients in our Swedish registries treated for myocardial infarctions who were 80 years and older. Dr Greg Hundley: Very nice. Can you tell us a little bit more about your study design? And also the study population? Dr Karolina Szummer: The startup populations are all patients who were admitted to an acute coronary care unit for treatment of myocardial infarctions, and they were all 80 years and older, and they were included from 2010 to 2017. So this encompasses the period during which treatment with ticagrelor was introduced. So we are comparing to ticagrelor versus clopidogrel for the outcomes during the year, following the myocardial infarction. Dr Greg Hundley: And how many patients did you enroll in the study? And what were your study results? Dr Karolina Szummer: We enrolled, in total, 14,000 patients, and these consisted of non-STEMI and of STEMI patients. The majority, about two thirds, were non-STEMI patients. We show, in this study, elderly patients have a lower risk of readmission for myocardial infarction or stroke, but they have a higher risk of having readmission for bleeding and death. So the risk-benefit ratio seems to be skewed towards having, probably, more harm with ticagrelor being more risky than clopidogrel in this study population of elderly. Dr Greg Hundley: And was this true for both men and for women? Dr Karolina Szummer: Yes. So this was true for both men and women. And we did a sensitivity analysis. We looked closer at those who are younger than 80 years old, and in this patient population, the results selected in the same way as for our cohort of elderly, they actually did have the same benefit with a low risk of MI, stroke, and death, and high risk of bleeding. But in the elderly, we noticed a signal towards harm with an increased risk of death. Dr Greg Hundley: It sounds like with ticagrelor, did we have a lower risk of death and a slightly lower risk of myocardial infarction and stroke, but a higher risk of bleeding? Was that the findings? Dr Karolina Szummer: So for the elderly, there was a high-risk of death and bleeding with ticagrelor compared to clopidogrel, but a lower risk of ischemic component of MI and stroke. Dr Greg Hundley: And then with those under 80, those were the ones that had the lower risk of death, lower risk of MI and stroke, but the higher risk of bleeding? Dr Karolina Szummer: Yes, that's correct. So really the end point that differs most is that there is sustainment towards higher mortality in the elderly, because in both younger and elderly, the risk of readmission for bleeding was elevated in both. Dr Greg Hundley: Now, let's turn to our own Associate Editor, Manos Brilakis. Manos, can you help us put these results into perspective, relative to other studies that evaluate the efficacy of antiplatelet therapy, post myocardial infarction? Dr Emmanouil (Manos) Brilakis: I would like to start by congratulating Dr Szummer. It's a wonderful paper, and, I think, provide some new insights on how to use the medications in the ACS patients. And going on the background, if we look at the guidelines, both the European guidelines, as well as the American guidelines, what they say is that both ticagrelor, as well as prasugrel, are preferred and recommended for patients with ACS, both non-ST elevation ACS, as well as ST segment elevation myocardial infarction. And actually, European guidelines say that clopidogrel should only be used when prasugrel or ticagrelor are not available or are contraindicated. And this is based on two trials. One is the PLATO trial, and the other is the TRITON-TIMI 38, that both showed, actually, more benefit with the more intensive P2Y12 inhibitors. And this is what is extrapolated to all patient populations. But as you've heard before, there was only a minority of elderly patients that were included in those trials, about 13% to 15%, and that is why the present study is important, because it suggests that maybe we should look more carefully into the patient's age and potentially other characteristics like frailty or other comorbidities, that might actually alter the risk-benefit ratio. And maybe those medications should not be routinely given to all patients, but perhaps, elderly patients, or at least some of them, might not require, and actually be better off with clopidogrel. Dr Greg Hundley: Let's turn back to Karolina. Karolina, the study was observational. What do you see as, perhaps, a next study to follow up the results that you've brought to us with this study? Dr Karolina Szummer: So the next step would definitely be to do a randomized control trial in the elderly to explore this topic further, to really know for sure what the safety and efficacy is, and what's the best treatment would be for these patients. Dr Greg Hundley: Very good. And Manos, do you have anything to add? Dr Emmanouil (Manos) Brilakis: One more thing. So, there was actually a trial that compared ticagrelor as well as prasugrel with clopidogrel in elderly patients that was called the POPUlar AGE trial that was published last year. And actually this one, published earlier this year, and actually this trial randomized a thousand patients who were more than 70 years old, to either more-intensive or less-intensive. And the results were actually very similar to the findings from Dr Szummer's study from SWEDEHEART, showing that there was more bleeding without any ischemic benefit. And didn't show actually higher mortality but didn't show any significant benefit. So that actually adds to the data that maybe the elderly patients, the selection of antiplatelet agent should be taken into account. And I think for me, this also extrapolates the high bleed risk, higher risk of bleeding, based on criteria, which we currently use mainly for duration. We say, for example, if you're precise DAPT score, which is a score for determining risk of bleeding, is high, you should consider shorter duration of DAPT, but it doesn't say anything about the type of DAPT. And for me, this makes sense that the high bleeding risk, and age is one of the main risk factors for high bleeding risk, should be taken into account also for determining the type of P2Y12 inhibitor. Dr Greg Hundley: Well listeners, we've had a great discussion with Karolina Szummer from Karolinska Institutet, and our own Manos Brilakis from the Minneapolis Heart Institute, really reviewing the utility of ticagrelor versus clopidogrel in older individuals, above the age of 80, that have sustained myocardial infarction, and identifying that ticagrelor is associated with a higher risk of death and bleeding, as opposed to clopidogrel, opening the question up as to whether further studies in older individuals need to be performed to examine the efficacy of antiplatelet therapy. So, on behalf of Carolyn and myself, we wish you a great week and look forward to catching you On the Run next week. This program is copyright the American Heart Association, 2020.

This is Part 2 of my interview with Professor Günter Faltin, from Germany and at the same time a successful entrepreneur. Briefly, I consider him as a kind of the German version of Tim Ferriss, as his book Brain vs capital is similarly influential in entrepreneurship in Germany, similarly to Tim Ferriss' book especially in the US, but also worldwide. You can learn in this episode why the MBA person often clashes with the entrepreneur, why a business plan is not actually a plan, what Prof. Faltin thinks about entrepreneurship, how it could be applicable for many of us. We talked also about outsourcing, what's crucial about it, how it can work in expensive countries. We have many many more topics, including the “ultrafast round” with 4 short questions so here you go. Enjoy. Raw transcript is available at: https://www.thehardwareentrepreneur.com Show highlights can be seen below: What entrepreneurship has to do with art and how it is different from business administration - [2:30] “The moment the business plan leaves the printer, it's outdated” – or is a fixed business plan a dangerous thing to do? - [6:35] Entrepreneurship for the many and our underutilizing our brains - [10:49] Why is it important to create a business model that can afford to work with professionals? - [14:33] Mistakes, or opportunities to empower yourself while growing a stable business - [17:10] Entrepreneurship – an existential exercise that helps personal development - [19:35] If you could time travel and go back in time, what notes would you give yourself? – [22:40] Which book had the biggest impact on his career? – [23:53] Prof. Faltin's early morning routine – [25:25] Some cultural differences that Prof. Faltin observed in terms of entrepreneurship – [26:46] What is the best way to reach Prof. Faltin? – [28:50]
This week, we talk to Professor Peter Gøtzsche who is Director of the Nordic Cochrane Centre in Denmark. Professor Gøtzsche graduated as a master of science in biology and chemistry in 1974 and as a physician in 1984. He is a specialist in internal medicine; worked with clinical trials and regulatory affairs in the drug industry and at hospitals in Copenhagen. He co-founded The Cochrane Collaboration and established The Nordic Cochrane Centre in 1993. In 2010 he became a professor of Clinical Research Design and Analysis at the University of Copenhagen. Peter has published more than 70 papers in the mainstream medical journals and his scientific works have been cited more than 15,000 times. He is also an author and his books include Deadly medicines and organised crime: how big Pharma has corrupted healthcare published in 2013 and in 2015 he published Deadly Psychiatry and Organised Denial. I was keen to talk to Professor Gøtzsche about his background in research, his views on antidepressant prescribing and how pharmaceutical manufacturers have influenced mental healthcare. There are few with his knowledge and understanding of psychiatric medications. #antidepressants #antipsychotics #benzodiazepines #withdrawal #tapering #mental health
