Harry talks with Professor Tim Snyder, Levin Professor of History at Yale, who is both one of our leading political scientists and one of the most trenchant critics of Trump's moves in the everyday. Snyder first discusses some of the organizing ideas in his scholarly work, especially the recent “On Freedom.” He explains his particular notion of freedom and how it differs from the common conception held by most people in the United States. They then talk about fascism and the degree to which the political program it employs depends on a radical devaluing of the idea of truth and fact. The two then move to the current American landscape, and the degree to which Trump's return to power, viewed especially in the light of history, represents a genuine threat of an irreversible decline in democratic, constitutional rule. Professor Snyder closes with some bases for optimism and a constructive agenda moving forward.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On this episode of FYI, hosts Nemo Marjanovic and Charles Roberts speak with Professor Dr. Michael Snyder, a leading figure in genomics and personalized medicine. The discussion traverses Snyder's work in genomics, systems biology, and the utilization of wearables for health monitoring. Professor Snyder outlines the potential of comprehensive multiomics analysis and artificial intelligence (AI) in predicting and preventing diseases, emphasizing the integration of lifestyle modifications and technology in extending human longevity. The conversation also covers the challenges and future directions of personalized medicine, offering insights into remote monitoring, longitudinal health tracking, and the critical role of data in transforming healthcare from reactive to proactive."Wearables...measuring you 24/7...We realized they're pretty powerful health monitors...and they'll measure way more than that...seeing shifts. We put too much emphasis on absolute value." -@SnyderShotKey Points From This Episode: Professor Snyder's journey into genomics and the inception of systems biologyGenomics in medicine: predictive and preventive careThe role of AI and machine learning (ML) in unraveling complex genetic diseasesLeveraging wearables for continuous health monitoring and disease predictionThe importance of longitudinal data in understanding individual health trajectoriesRemote monitoring and micro-sampling: the future of healthcareImpact of lifestyle choices on health and disease preventionThe potential of the human cell atlas and spatial methods in pathologyChallenges of integrating comprehensive omics data into clinical practiceThe vision for a future where healthcare is personalized, predictive, and preventive

In this episode, organic chemistry Professor Scott Snyder discusses his career path to becoming a faculty at the University of Chicago. He describes science as "in his DNA" and discusses first falling in love with organic chemistry as an undergrad, a fruitful Ph.D. experience, and a professional career path that has included teaching at Columbia University, Scripps Research Institute, and now at the University of Chicago. Listen to Professor Snyder share how he juggles his various hats from co-authoring textbooks, leading a research lab, and working in an administrative role, but continues to enjoy organic chemistry though movies, the kitchen, and exercising.

We are pleased today to welcome Christopher Snyder, professor of history and founding dean of Mississippi State's Honor College, who is joining us from the University of Oxford, where he is a visiting research fellow and working on a book manuscript associated with today's topic. Professor Snyder will speak today on the principles of a liberal arts education, drawing in his talk on an article published by Inside Higher Education in October 2023, entitled, A Liberal Arts Education in Name Only. The article is a response to administrative actions being taken across the country that are remaking what it means to use the words higher education, college, university, and what a college education is for. Too much is at stake to permit this trend to continue. We are also pleased to welcome discussant Adrian Lenardic, professor in the Department of Earth, Environment, and Planetary Sciences at Rice University, who has written extensively on neoliberal influences in higher education and is a frequent contributor to Future U.  Also offering commentary today are Ruben Martinez, professor and director emeritus, Michigan State University and founder of FutureU; and Nathan Rousseau and Lewis (Terry Dibble), professor and senior lecturer, respectively, at Indiana University Purdue University Columbus.  Today's forum is hosted and produced by Frank A. Fear, Michigan State University professor emeritus and FutureU's Managing Editor. Follow FutureU: Conversations about Values and Change in Higher Education. The Forum was taped on Friday, November 24, 2023.

Yale professor Timothy Snyder recently did a Ted Talk where he asserted that democracy should be a verb, something that you do. He asserts, “democracy has to be understood as a spirit.” He appears to believe that the more democracy the better. Then why did the Founders include limitations on democracy in the Constitution? In this podcast the Edifice of Trust host, Victor Bolles, examines what Professor Snyder asserted in his Ted Talk and investigates why the Founders had their doubts about democracy.

How does the world stop a genocide? How will Russia's war in Ukraine end? Why should Americans, or anyone around the world, care about Ukraine today?

Attorneys and professors in law David Snyder and Sarah Dadush join the podcast to discuss the role of contracting in ESG, how a conventional approach to writing contracts may not be the best choice, which issues are fixed, and how accountability should be on both the buyer and supplier.  ▶️ Contracting for ESG with David Snyder and Sarah Dadush: Key points discussed in the episode: ✔️ Supply chains are doing enough for ESG compliance. David Snyder and Sarah Dadush aim to combat this with more effective measures. ✔️ Policies remain unimplemented if they aren't in the contract. Having a supplier code of conduct written with the assistance of a business lawyer isn't enough to create change. ✔️ Working at an oil refinery helped David Snyder learn the true culprit – organized crime. He wanted human and environmental efforts to be treated the same way as product manufacturing. ✔️ ESG can impact both consumer and investor decisions. The California Supply Chains Transparency Act pushed for full disclosure directed at the customers.  ✔️ Focusing only on forced labor leaves out other problems. ✔️ Traditional approaches to contracting ESG don't work, Sarah Dadush says. Not only does it aggravate human rights risks but also increases the company's chances of legal violations. ✔️ David Snyder emphasizes the importance of risk as part of supply chain management and compliance obligations. Lawyers should also play their part in handling clients properly instead of resorting to risk shifting. ✔️ Contracts don't fix all supply chain issues. It all boils down to supply chain resilience. A weaker foundation puts companies in greater danger, especially in times of difficulty like the COVID-19 pandemic. ✔️ Buyers should be responsible when exiting contracts. Contracts have been misused at the height of the pandemic, and consumers are now urging businesses to be accountable for their shortcomings. David Snyder was appointed professor of law at the American University Washington College of Law in the fall of 2007 and was appointed director of the Business Law Program in 2008. During 2021-2022, he also holds a Fernand Braudel Senior Fellowship at the European University Institute (Florence). He graduated summa cum laude from Tulane University Law School in 1991, and he has been a professor of law at Tulane, Indiana (Bloomington), and Cleveland-Marshall College of Law. He has been a regular visiting professor at the law school of the University of Paris II (Panthéon-Assas) since 2012, and has also been a visiting professor at the University of Paris 10 (Nanterre La Défense), Boston University, and the College of William and Mary. In addition, he has taught summer courses at the University of Mainz (Germany). After graduating from law school, Professor Snyder served as a law clerk to the Honorable John M. Duhé Jr. of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, and subsequently joined the D.C. firm of Hogan & Hartson (now Hogan Lovells). In 2014 Professor Snyder was awarded a MacCormick Fellowship during which he delivered the annual Wilson Memorial Lecture at the University of Edinburgh. Sarah Dadush's research lies at the intersection of business and human rights. Her scholarship explores various innovative legal mechanisms for improving the social and environmental performance of multinational corporations. She directs the Law School's newly-established Business & Human Rights Law Program and co-leads an ABA Business Law Section Working Group that has developed a comprehensive toolkit for upgrading international supply contracts to better protect workers' human rights. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Do you have a podcast (or do you want to)?

Professor Michael Snyder is the Chair of Genetics at Stanford School of Medicine, where his research group develops and uses technologies to study biological regulatory networks and applies these approaches to understand human variation and health. He's founded multiple biotech startups and has authored a book titled Genomics and Personalized Medicine: What Everyone Needs to Know.   Today, Professor Snyder joins host Bob Hughes to discuss the impact of big data on human health. He reviews the results of his research, carried out on 109 people including himself, which entails collecting numerous types of health data and building an informative data profile, as opposed to the traditional approach of collecting just a few pieces of information. He goes on to share his personal story of how collecting deep data on himself helped him change his lifestyle after being diagnosed as a type two diabetic - using precision medicine to control diabetes. Professor Snyder also explores how DNA methylation can be used to track aging patterns and ageotypes, as well as the relationship between aging and Big Data collection, and also discusses health and longevity from his viewpoint, particularly from the standpoint of boosting the immune system.   In this episode, you'll learn how Big Data can influence our health, and why Professor Snyder believes that the transformation of healthcare begins with deep-diving into data.   Episode Highlights:   ●  Understanding precision medicine and personalized medicine ●  How Big Data influences individual health ●  Professor Snyder's research results on 109 people ●  The impacts of deep data profiles ●  How Professor Snyder changed his lifestyle after deep-diving into his data ●  Using precision medicine to control diabetes ●  DNA Methylation and tracking aging patterns ●  Selection criteria for the 109 research subjects ●  Professor Snyder's growth over the years from yeast biology ●  Human health and longevity from Professor Snyder's viewpoint   Quotes:   “We're actually much more focused, I would say, on precision health, trying to keep people healthy at an individualized level, and trying to use big data to do just that.”   “We're in a world now where you can just collect so much deeper data on people.”   “I liken it to a jigsaw puzzle. If I want to see what the picture is in a puzzle, looking at one or two pieces of a 1000 person puzzle isn't going to tell me the picture, even 15 pieces probably won't do it. But I want to look at as many pieces as possible. And that's what big data is all about.”   “One aspect is to collect data, the other is to do it over time.”   “A lot of people who survived the COVID infections wind up being type two diabetics on a 4% increase, which is a pretty large number of people.”   “Everybody has different aging patterns, and so the way we think about this is like a car. Your car as a whole gets older over time, but some parts wear out first. ”   “Having good biomarkers for aging, we think, is a big deal.”   “Why are we measuring 15 things? We should be measuring thousands.”   “There's a ton of investment going into longevity these days - billions of dollars now into these new startups.”   “Your immune system starts plummeting in your 60s, as I say, and that just leaves you more and more vulnerable anytime after that.”   “I think we can transform healthcare. I think you'll see big changes in the next 10 years in terms of home testing, all this sort of stuff.”   Links:   Email questions, comments, and feedback to podcast@bioagelabs.com   Translating Aging on Twitter:https://twitter.com/BioAgePodcast ( @bioagepodcast)   BIOAGE Labs Websitehttps://bioagelabs.com/ ( BIOAGELabs.com)   BIOAGE Labs Twitterhttps://twitter.com/bioagelabs?lang=en ( @bioagelabs)  ...

Stephen Sackur speaks to Timothy Snyder, renowned American historian of totalitarianism and the Holocaust, about the Trump presidency. Professor Snyder believes the former US president and his movement brought America face to face with early stage fascism. Historical parallels may be seductive, but are they useful?

Dr. Timothy Snyder is one of America’s preeminent scholars of European history and has written compelling and essential books about how enlightened and democratic societies turn to fascism. He appeared in Michael Moore’s “Fahrenheit 11/9” after his short book “On Tyranny” was published in 2017. After a recent life-threatening health scare that included disastrous hospital visits, Professor Snyder has written a new book based on his hospital diaries that connects the horrors of our healthcare system with the other maladies in American society that have brought us to where we are today. He joins Michael to discuss his recent personal experiences and the scary national emergencies we are all collectively sick of.

Johnny interviews Barney Frank, member of Congress from Massachusetts 1980-2012, now retired in Maine, but as vibrant and opinionated as ever. He's writing a book on the legacy of John Maynard Keynes, the British economist who rescued the world and the U.S. from The Great Depression by stimulating economic growth via government intervention. Barney argues that Keynes' economic mantra is now counterproductive because the emphasis on growth is accelerating economic inequality worldwide. He advocates that addressing economic fairness is as critical as growth. And in a bow in the direction of new economic measurements, he concurs with Johnny that the World Happiness Index, in which the U.S. scores a pathetic 39th, is relevant. Barney is truly an eminence grise of the Democratic Party as well as of progressive and gay politics, and a prominent informal Jewish leader, with an international reputation. But this frank discussion is not an echo chamber as Johnny advances the prophetic warnings of Yale History Professor Timothy Snyder, author of On Tyranny (2017) and The Road to Unfreedom (2018), a leading expert of fascism. These NY Times bestsellers, were the intellectual opening shot in the Resistance to Trumpism, but Barney has not read them and doesn't feel that Trump's frontal assaults on democracy, attacks on the press, and destruction of the English language, including the famous quote "alternative truth" does not equal 1984 (George Orwell, 1949), because Kelly Anne Conway was totally ridiculed for that. Johnny counters, citing Professor Snyder, that the institutions of democracy are extremely vulnerable and many professionals have already been compromised, as they were on the road to Nazism in Germany.But Barney is particularly convinced by the 2018 mid-term elections which flipped the House back to the Democrats, that Americans have successfully resisted fascism and authoritarianism. As for Trump's demagoguery against the press, he feels that our press has been comprehensive and unafraid in revealing Trump's doings. Johnny cites some of the most blatant fascist actions of Trump in real time, live on TV, during the House Impeachment Trial, as evidence that we're not safe by any means. And so on.On a more positive note, the famous Boston legend, told and retold countless times, is the 1968 story of how the City of Boston averted the African American riots post MLK assassination partly by arranging a scheduled JAMES BROWN concert at Boston Garden to be broadcast on WGBH-TV. Then community leaders and the Mayor urged Boston's youth to stay home and watch the free concert. Barney, who was chief of staff for then Mayor Kevin White, reveals some details never heard before by Johnny or Steve Folsom, both of whom have heard this story many times.Finally, despite the fact that famous local Cambridge legend, Tip O'Neill, House Speaker (1977-1987), wanted him to become the first Jewish Speaker of the House, and it never happened, Barney has no regrets and feels the glass is half full...that he achieved much more success than he could ever have imagined.We end the episode with No Regrets, by Tom Rush, singer-songwriter.Support the show (https://www.gofundme.com/f/podcast-chutzpah-and-soul-in-memory-of-lenny-bruce?utm_source=customer&utm_medium=copy_link-tip&utm_campaign=p_cp+share-sheet)

Timothy Snyder is a professor of history at Yale University and author of the bestselling book On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century. Professor Snyder is one of the most insightful and bold truth-tellers about Donald Trump’s movement and the dangers of authoritarianism in America and around the world. Dr. Snyder reflects on the health of American democracy in the third year of Trump’s presidency. He also shares his concerns about how democracy and the rule of law are continually being undermined by Donald Trump and now his consigliere Attorney General William Barr. And Dr. Snyder implores the Resistance and other Americans of conscience to craft a positive narrative of their political vision instead of just opposing Donald Trump’s regime  -- because to just oppose Donald Trump is likely to give him another victory in the 2020 presidential election.

There are two guests on this week's episode of The Chauncey DeVega Show.  Yale University historian and New York Times-bestselling author Timothy Snyder returns to The Chauncey DeVega Show. He is the author of "On Tyranny" and the new book "The Road to Unfreedom". This is Professor Snyder's fourth appearance on The Chauncey DeVega Show. Professor Snyder and Chauncey discuss how America's democratic institutions are under siege by Donald Trump and the Republican Party's fascist campaign, the ways that Trump and his allies are hurting white voters in order to stay in power by redirecting their rage at nonwhites and other groups, and the concept known as "sadopopulism". Professor Snyder also explains how both liberals and conservatives are weakening America's democratic project.  Jared Yates Sexton is the second guest on this week's example of The Chauncey DeVega Show. He is the author of The People Are Going to Rise Like the Waters Upon Your Shore: A Story of American Rage. On this week's show, Jared and Chauncey discuss on the American news media continues to fail the public by not telling the truth about the threat posed by Donald Trump and how comedienne Michelle Wolff dared to expose the too cozy relationship between the so-called liberal news media and their right-wing propagandist "frenemies".  Jared also explains how Donald Trump is a political mafia boss who is running the White House like a criminal enterprise and personal protection racket.  Of course, as is their habit, Jared and Chauncey have to talk about the former's trip to this year's Wrestlemania, booking Roman Reigns, the Andre the Giant documentary on HBO, and how logical storytelling can help to salvage so many of the problems plaguing the WWE. In this week's episode Chauncey DeVega explains the hidden history of Mother's Day and its radical progressive roots in the women's rights and pacifist movements. Chauncey also offers an update in the Republican Party's continual effort to punish and hurt the most weak and vulnerable members of American society. This week's target? The elderly, differently-abled, and other people who will be thrown out of nursing homes and into the streets because of cuts to Medicare. Chauncey also gives a "You Big Dummy Award" to one of Trump's human deplorables whose business is going bankrupt because of the Great Leader's "soft ethnic cleansing" campaign against nonwhite immigrants.

Laura Snyder is a professor of philosophy at St. John’s University. Her work focuses on the history and philosophy of science, and frequently seeks to bring new, broader perspectives to debates in that field. Her first book, Reforming Philosophy, focuses on John Stuart Mill and William Whewell’s philosophies of science, but argues that this philosophy can only properly be understood in the context of Mill and Whewell’s entire body of work. Her second book, the Philosophical Breakfast Club, focuses on four British scientists in the 19th century and the revolution they brought to science at the time. The book was praised for its combination of scholarly rigor and public accessibility, and led to Professor Snyder giving a talk at the TED Global conference in 2012.Professor Snyder’s newest book is titled The Eye of the Beholder: Johannes Vermeer, Antoni van Leeuwenhoek, and the Reinvention of Seeing. The book tells the story of Vermeer and Leeuwenhoek at a remarkable time of scientific and artistic innovation in the Dutch Republic. It also continues Professor Snyder’s commitment to bridging popular and academic audiences, it was reviewed widely in publications like the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and several outlets abroad.

'Tis the season for giving gifts, and we know you have lots of readers on your holiday list. So here are two suggestions: "The Wilson Deception" is a fast-paced thriller set during the 1919 negotiations over the Treaty of Versailles. It is the second in a series by lawyer and author David O. Stewart (the first was called "The Lincoln Deception") who writes both historical novels and works of history. He's been on the show before, discussing his book, "Madison's Gift." "Black Earth: The Holocaust as History and Warning" by Yale historian Timothy Snyder is a more serious work that is focused upon the Holocaust as it unfolded upon the fertile soil of Ukraine. Professor Snyder emphasis the environmental aspects of Hitler's motivations and actions and draws lessons that are highly relevant today.

In this podcast Professor Timothy Snyder (Yale) considers the politicized history and the historicised politics related to Russia's war in Ukraine, with special attention to the the enduring legacy of the Holocaust and the Kremlin's rehabilitation of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact. He also previews his forthcoming book Black Earth, which will be published by Bodley Head in September 2015. His presentation, entitled 'The Fog of History: From the Great Fatherland War to Russia's Invasion of Ukraine', was delivered in King's College, Cambridge on 27 February 2015.

In a very special episode of The Bryan Callen Show, Mike Callen joins Bryan and Hunter in interviewing the authors of one of his very favorite books: Bloodlands: Europe Between Hitler and Stalin. Detailing the combined atrocities of Hitler's Germany and Stalin's Soviet Union, Professor Snyder's book views these events not as separate phenomenon but as different facets of the same tragedy. More than an important piece of scholarship, Professor Snyder's book is our best defense in assuring that atrocities like this never happen again. Mike Callen, Professor Snyder, Bryan and Hunter discuss the opening of the Soviet archives, why Hitler's atrocities are so much better remembered than Stalin's and why this period of history is so relevant today.
