May 26, 2025 - The state budget included some money to begin overhauling the emergency response to New Yorkers suffering a behavioral crisis and it expanded the state's involuntary commitment powers. We touch on both proposals with Ruth Lowenkron, director of the Disability Justice Program at the New York Lawyers for the Public Interest.

In this episode, we explore the vital role public interest technologists play in shaping policy. How do technical experts influence legislation around the internet, cybersecurity, AI, and more? What challenges do they face, and how can we encourage more technologists to engage in public policy? Joining the conversation are Chinmayi Sharma, Associate Professor at Fordham Law School and CDT Non-Resident Fellow, and Nick Doty, CDT's Senior Technologist. Tune in as we unpack the intersection of technology and policymaking—and why it matters now more than ever.

Oui, le sudoku peut contribuer à ralentir le déclin cognitif, mais ses effets doivent être nuancés. Plusieurs études scientifiques ont exploré l'impact des jeux cérébraux, dont le sudoku, sur la santé cognitive, notamment chez les personnes âgées.Une étude publiée en 2019 dans The International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry a examiné l'effet des jeux de réflexion comme les mots croisés et le sudoku sur les capacités cognitives de plus de 19 000 participants âgés de 50 à 93 ans. Les résultats ont montré que ceux qui pratiquaient régulièrement ce type de jeux obtenaient de meilleurs scores dans des tests de mémoire, de raisonnement et d'attention. Plus spécifiquement, les performances cognitives de certains participants étaient équivalentes à celles de personnes 8 à 10 ans plus jeunes. Cela suggère une association positive entre la fréquence de ces activités et la préservation des fonctions mentales.Cependant, corrélation ne signifie pas nécessairement causalité. Une revue de la littérature menée par Simons et al. en 2016 (Psychological Science in the Public Interest) a mis en garde contre l'idée que les jeux cognitifs, dont le sudoku, puissent à eux seuls prévenir ou inverser le déclin cognitif. Selon cette analyse, si certaines études montrent des améliorations dans des tâches spécifiques après un entraînement cérébral, ces bénéfices ne se généralisent pas toujours à d'autres aspects de la vie quotidienne ou à la cognition globale.Cela dit, d'autres recherches appuient l'idée que maintenir une activité intellectuelle régulière — que ce soit via le sudoku, la lecture ou l'apprentissage d'une nouvelle compétence — est bénéfique pour le cerveau. L'étude ACTIVE (Advanced Cognitive Training for Independent and Vital Elderly), lancée aux États-Unis en 2002, a suivi plus de 2 800 personnes âgées. Elle a montré que des séances régulières d'entraînement cognitif pouvaient améliorer les capacités mentales et en ralentir le déclin pendant plusieurs années.Le sudoku, en particulier, mobilise plusieurs fonctions cognitives importantes : la mémoire de travail, la logique, l'attention et la vitesse de traitement. En le pratiquant régulièrement, on stimule ces fonctions, ce qui pourrait contribuer à maintenir la plasticité cérébrale. Mais pour que l'effet soit réel, l'activité doit être suffisamment complexe et renouvelée, afin de continuer à « challenger » le cerveau.En résumé, le sudoku ne constitue pas une solution miracle, mais s'intègre efficacement dans un mode de vie intellectuellement actif, qui, selon les données scientifiques, joue un rôle non négligeable dans la lutte contre le déclin cognitif lié à l'âge.

On Tuesday, the Food and Drug Administration announced it would revoke authorization of 2 petroleum-based synthetic food dyes with plans to eliminate 6 other food dyes by the end of 2026. While this is not an outright ban, the Trump administration is continuing with its “Make America Healthy Again” mission by urging the food industry to make the switch. President of the Center for Science in the Public Interest, Dr. Peter Lurie, joins to discuss HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s decision to phase out synthetic dyes and how this will impact public health. April is National Infertility Awareness Month, spotlighting an issue that affects millions of men and women and that carries a significant impact for American families. Actress Patricia Heaton and her husband, David Hunt, are tackling this topic in their dramedy film, "Unexpected," which closely follows a couple's journey through infertility. "The Middle" & “Everyone Loves Raymond” star Patricia Heaton and director David Hunt join to discuss the joys and challenges of producing this film, making the topic of infertility less socially taboo, and embracing the messiness of life as a couple.

The Communications Act of 1934 requires that licensees operate consistent with the “public interest convenience and necessity.” Broadcast licenses, held by broadcast TV and radio stations as trustees of the public’s airwaves, must use the broadcast medium to serve the public interest and their local communities. In recent years, concerns have been raised about how broadcasters are fulfilling these obligations, particularly regarding the nature of their news programming. Complaints have been filed at the FCC against all of the major broadcast networks raising concerns about the quality and reliability of their coverage. Our panel will examine these issues, the role of government in policing broadcasters and the First Amendment protections afforded to broadcasters’ speech.

For our fourth episode of "History and our Current World," Kelly welcomes author Jason Steinhauer to explore how social media has impacted historical narratives. They dive into the idea of "e-History" and how social media has made it harder for professional historians to cut through the noise in an age where misinformation is constantly competing for our attention. Jason formerly served as Founding Director of the Lepage Center for History in the Public Interest; as a Global Fellow at The Wilson Center and a Senior Fellow at the Foreign Policy Research Institute; and an adjunct professor at the Maxwell School for Citizenship & Public Affairs at Syracuse University. He worked for seven years at the U.S. Library of Congress. Jason's bestselling book, History, Disrupted: How Social Media & the World Wide Web Have Changed the Past, examines how social media shapes what we know about the past.

What does it mean for democracy when a president owns a social platform, and is supported by others with major platforms of their own? Philip Napoli directs the DeWitt Wallace Center for Media and Democracy at Duke University and he joins Manoj Mohanan, interim public policy dean at Duke to discuss historical parallels to the connection between policy and media ownership, and regulation options. His book is called “Social Media and the Public Interest, Media Regulation in the Disinformation Age."  Read show notes/transcript.

For law students, a summer associate position can help define the kind of law they practice and the path they forge through the legal profession. From building connections with associates and prominent partners to taking on challenging assignments, the experiences of a summer associate can provide a preview of the work they will take on in the future. In the first-ever live recording of In the Public Interest, co-hosts Felicia Ellsworth and Michael Dawson are joined by Partners Tiffany J. Smith, Nana Wilberforce and Drew Dulberg—who started their careers as summer associates at the firm—and over 100 of the firm's summer associates from offices across the country. During their conversation, all three partners offer an inside look into the firm's summer associate program and offer advice for law students and attorneys early in their careers. They also discuss their experiences as summer associates and how these experiences and the lessons they learned have shaped their careers.

In episode five, we are pleased to welcome back Henry Giroux, scholar, cultural critic and author, most recently of The Burden of Conscience: Educating Beyond the Veil of Silence. We discuss the rise of authoritarianism in the US and around the world as an updated fascism, its attack on democracy and higher education and the urgent need for solidarity, critical pedagogy and resistance in the face of the unspeakable.  Reflecting on the necessity of higher and critical education in these times, Giroux says: “Education is the glue. Education is the bridge that stands between fascism and hope, between fascism and justice, between fascism and a socialist democracy, a real democracy, a radical democracy. And if we don't grasp the centrality of education here in terms of both its power and its role, both in and outside of schooling, we're in trouble. It's not going to work.” About today's guest:  Henry A. Giroux currently holds the McMaster University Chair for Scholarship in the Public Interest in the English and Cultural Studies Department and is the Paulo Freire Distinguished Scholar in Critical Pedagogy.

I've known Jane Mogel since we were freshman in college—50 years!!! And her smart, funny, charming husband, Peter Pitts for almost as long. I went to their wedding in the mid 80's. Jane has a successful business as an interior designer and Peter has a global trotting business as the co-founder of the Center for Medicine in the Public Interest. His research, reporting and public appearances range from the New York Times to The Daily Show with John Stewart. Though I don't usually have close friends on, (I'm trying to be a real shrink, remember?!!), I make an exception here so Jane and I can exchange some college stories and we can talk about Jane and Peter's parenting adventures with their two boys, Jeremy and Ben, now both in their mid-thirties and doing well. Jane would invite me to stay with her family in New York City in the later 70's and her parents were a big influence on me. They were very sophisticated for a young person like me and they opened my mind to a lot of new things. Her father, Len Mogel was the publisher of the National Lampoon in it's heyday, so some fun stories from that time too. I moved to the East Village right after college and Jane had her own place in the city by then, so we had a lot of fun running around NYC in those years too!

What exactly is generative AI (genAI) red-teaming? What strategies and standards should guide its implementation? And how can it protect the public interest? In this conversation, Lama Ahmad, Camille François, Tarleton Gillespie, Briana Vecchione, and Borhane Blili-Hamelin examined red-teaming's place in the evolving landscape of genAI evaluation and governance.Our discussion drew on a new report by Data & Society (D&S) and AI Risk and Vulnerability Alliance (ARVA), a nonprofit that aims to empower communities to recognize, diagnose, and manage harmful flaws in AI. The report, Red-Teaming in the Public Interest, investigates how red-teaming methods are being adapted to confront uncertainty about flaws in systems and to encourage public engagement with the evaluation and oversight of genAI systems. Red-teaming offers a flexible approach to uncovering a wide range of problems with genAI models. It also offers new opportunities for incorporating diverse communities into AI governance practices.Ultimately, we hope this report and discussion present a vision of red-teaming as an area of public interest sociotechnical experimentation.Download the report and learn more about the speakers and references at datasociety.net.--00:00 Opening00:12 Welcome and Framing04:48 Panel Introductions09:34 Discussion Overview10:23 Lama Ahmad on The Value of Human Red-Teaming17:37 Tarleton Gillespie on Labor and Content Moderation Antecedents25:03 Briana Vecchione on Participation & Accountability28:25 Camille François on Global Policy and Open-source Infrastructure35:09 Questions and Answers56:39 Final Takeaways

Public Interest SA Condemns Parliamentary Defence Committee Chairperson's Remarks by Radio Islam

On today's episode, we're diving into what's going on with Near-Earth Asteroid 2024 YR4. You may have heard online that this asteroid is on a trajectory to impact Earth on December 22nd, 2032. It's captured the zeitgeist and everyone's talking about it.  But what can we do in the meantime? We say - Let's learn! We need to science the $%#t out of this one! We're going to explore the idea of planetary defense, the level of impact if it does hit Earth in 2032, and how lucky we are to have successful missions like DART and HERA to lean on for our “armageddon” moment.  We'll also try to answer these questions: What is the Asteroid? What is the impact potential on Earth? How was it discovered? Why do the impact probabilities keep changing? What can we do about it? Why don't we just NUKE it?

The U.S. legal system had been trying for a long time... then one day, they were like, "what if people could experience this as a kind of news-entertainment hybrid?" In the days of radio, it was a case of ignorance vs. evolution centered on a man named Scopes. In the days of television, 1979 specifically, a charming narcissist serial killer defended himself poorly and fronted an air of superiority over the nation.

In this riveting episode of Fantom Facts Society, we delve into two deeply mysterious and troubling cases that have left the public with more questions than answers. First, we explore the unsettling situation surrounding media personality Wendy Williams, who some claim is being held against her will in an assisted living facility. We sift through the rumors, legal documents, and public sightings to piece together what might be happening behind closed doors. Switching gears, we tackle the baffling case of Ellen Greenberg, a young woman whose death was officially ruled a suicide despite being found with 20 stab wounds. The controversy deepens with revelations that the crime scene was allegedly wiped clean by state police before independent investigators could arrive, raising serious doubts about the initial investigation's integrity. We'll dissect the forensic evidence, or lack thereof, speak with experts, and review the legal battles fought by Ellen's family in search of truth and justice. Join us as we navigate through the shadowy corridors of these enigmatic cases, questioning the narratives and seeking to illuminate the obscured facts in "Lost in the System: Wendy's Guarded Life and Ellen's Erased Crime Scene"

Trust a gay Jewish atheist to defend the value of American Christianity. In his new book Cross-Purposes: Christianity's Broken Bargain with Democracy, the Brookings scholar and gay marriage activist Jonathan Rauch argues that Christianity plays a vital role in sustaining American democracy. He points to the Mormon Church (LDS) as a model for balancing religious beliefs with democratic pluralism, contrasting their approach with white evangelical churches that have become increasingly intolerant of democracy. Rauch suggests that Christianity's core teachings of fearlessness, egalitarianism, and forgiveness align more with James Madison's democratic vision than with MAGA politics, and argues that secular liberals should work to make civic spaces more welcoming to people of faith.Here are the 5 KEEN ON takeaways from our conversation with Rauch:* As a gay Jewish atheist, Rauch makes the counterintuitive argument that Christianity is essential for American democracy, suggesting that as religious participation declines, society loses important communal bonds and values that help sustain democratic institutions.* Rauch points to the Mormon Church (LDS) as a model for how religious institutions can balance conservative theological beliefs with democratic pluralism - opposing same-sex marriage internally while supporting legal protections for it in civil society.* He identifies three core Christian teachings that he believes align with democratic values: "don't be afraid," egalitarianism (treating people as ends in themselves), and forgiveness - arguing these are more consistent with James Madison than with the MAGA movement. * Rauch contends that the decline of mainstream Christianity has led people to seek substitute religions in ideologies like "wokeness," MAGA, and QAnon, which he argues don't provide the same social or political benefits as traditional religious institutions.* While remaining personally atheist, Rauch advocates for secular liberals to be more accommodating of religion in public life, suggesting that the "culture wars" approach of both evangelical Christians and militant secularists threatens democratic stability.* JONATHAN RAUCH, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution in Washington, is the author of eight books and many articles on public policy, culture, and government. He is a contributing writer for The Atlantic and recipient of the 2005 National Magazine Award, the magazine industry's equivalent of the Pulitzer Prize. His latest book, published in 2021 by the Brookings Press, is The Constitution of Knowledge: A Defense of Truth, a spirited and deep-diving account of how to push back against disinformation, canceling, and other new threats to our fact-based epistemic order. In 2018, he published The Happiness Curve: Why Life Gets Better After 50, a lauded account of the surprising relationship between aging and happiness. Other books include Denial: My 25 Years Without a Soul, a memoir of his struggle with his sexuality, and Gay Marriage: Why It Is Good for Gays, Good for Straights, and Good for America, published in 2004 by Times Books (Henry Holt). His most recent ebook is Political Realism: How Hacks, Machines, Big Money, and Back-Room Deals Can Strengthen American Democracy (Brookings, 2015). Although much of his writing has been on public policy, he has also written on topics as widely varied as adultery, agriculture, economics, gay marriage, height discrimination, biological rhythms, number inflation, and animal rights. His multiple-award-winning column, “Social Studies,” appeared from 1998 to 2010 in National Journal. Among the many other publications for which he has written are The New Republic, The Economist, Reason, Harper's, Fortune, Reader's Digest, Time, The New York Times, The New York Daily News, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times, The New York Post, Slate, The Chronicle of Higher Education, The Public Interest, National Affairs, The Advocate, The Daily, and others.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators.

In the Season 5 premiere, Anna McCorvey RA, LEED AP BD+C talks about inspiring professional journey and her mission-driven work. Anna shares the story behind founding the River East Design Center (REDC) in Southeast D.C., emphasizing its focus on addressing community needs before initiating design projects. She discusses the center's focus on educational outreach and conceptual design services, aiming to empower local residents with crucial information. Anna also opens up about her role as an Equitable Development Manager at the Building Bridges Across the River (11th Street Bridge Park Project), her fellowship experience with the Goethe Institute and why authentic community engagement is critical to meaningful change. The episode concludes with reflections on her personal backgrounds and shared passion for community-focused design. Anna McCorvey is a practicing architect in Washington, DC whose initial interest in architecture was spiked at an early age through public housing. At the early age of 5 she noticed the subtle and sometimes flagrant differences between the housing and schools from one part of town to the next. Her desire to understand these differences and address them led her to a Bachelor of Architecture degree from Howard University and a Master of City Planning degree from the University of California Berkeley with a housing and community development emphasis. Upon graduating, she spent 6 years working on affordable and low-income housing developments, schools, day care facilities and recreation centers, many of which were in some of DC's most underserved communities. With a strengthened commitment to design equity in underserved communities, she founded The River East Design Center (REDC) in 2018. As a nonprofit community design center, REDC is a resource to communities that desire to learn more about architecture and planning and be active in development projects in their neighborhoods. After designing a mobile retail kiosk for one of the 11th Street Bridge Park's small business initiatives, Anna was invited to join the 11th Street Bridge Park team as their Senior Equitable Development. In this role, Anna oversees a series of programs designed to prevent displacement in communities surrounding the park by equipping residents and businesses to thrive in future economic changes. In these various capacities, Anna regularly leads workshops and discussions on community engagement, community centered design, and issues of diversity representation within the design professions. This work awarded her the honor of being a 2021 Public Interest Design Fellow with the DC Public Library and the Goethe Institute and the recipient 2023 Wieb Award for Architecture in the Public Interest. Anna is a resident of DC's Anacostia neighborhood and enjoys short runs along the Anacostia River, traveling anywhere she's never been and Sunday night funk music at JoJo 's Restaurant.

Time waits for no one. As 2024 winds down, what are the key moments of a year that perhaps overpromised and underdelivered? According to the Brookings scholar Jonathan Rauch, six events in 2024 captured the year's zeitgeist. There's the November election and the tumult in the Middle East, of course. Then there's the ongoing lawfare between Trump and the legal establishment as well as the Supreme Court's creeping power. But Rauch ends his summary of 2024 more positively, finding two examples - one from the public sector, the other from private enterprise - suggesting that America can, indeed, continue to rebuild and reinvent itself in 2025. Jonathan Rauch is a senior fellow in the Governance Studies program and the author of eight books and many articles on public policy, culture, and government. He is a contributing writer of The Atlantic and recipient of the 2005 National Magazine Award, the magazine industry's equivalent of the Pulitzer Prize. His many Brookings publications include the 2021 book “The Constitution of Knowledge: A Defense of Truth”, as well as the 2015 ebook “Political Realism: How Hacks, Machines, Big Money, and Back-Room Deals Can Strengthen American Democracy.” Other books include “The Happiness Curve: Why Life Gets Better after 50” (2018) and “Gay Marriage: Why It Is Good for Gays, Good for Straights, and Good for America” (2004). He has also authored research on political parties, marijuana legalization, LGBT rights and religious liberty, and more. Although much of his writing has been on public policy, he has also written on topics as widely varied as adultery, agriculture, economics, gay marriage, height discrimination, biological rhythms, number inflation, and animal rights. His multiple-award-winning column, “Social Studies,” appeared from 1998 to 2010 in National Journal. Among the many other publications for which he has written are The New Republic, The Economist, Reason, Harper's, Fortune, Reader's Digest, U.S. News & World Report, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times, The New York Post, Slate, The Chronicle of Higher Education, The Public Interest, The Advocate, The Daily, and others. In his 1994 book “Demosclerosis”—revised and republished in 2000 as “Government's End: Why Washington Stopped Working”—he argues that America's government is becoming gradually less flexible and effective with time, and suggests ways to treat the malady. His 1993 book “Kindly Inquisitors: The New Attacks on Free Thought” (the University of Chicago Press) defends free speech and robust criticism, even when it is racist or sexist and even when it hurts. In 1992 his book “The Outnation: A Search for the Soul of Japan” questioned the then-conventional wisdom that Japan was fundamentally different from the West. Rauch was born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona, and graduated in 1982 from Yale University. In addition to the National Magazine Award, his honors include the 2010 National Headliner Award, one of the industry's most venerable prizes. In 1996 he was awarded the Premio Napoli alla Stampa Estera for his coverage, in The Economist, of the European Parliament. In 2011 he won the National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association prize for excellence in opinion writing. His articles appear in The Best Magazine Writing 2005 and The Best American Science and Nature Writing 2004 and 2007. He has appeared as a guest on many television and radio programs.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators.

In our last conversation with Dr. Lisa Feldman Barrett [Where emotions come from (and why it matters) Part 1] a couple of weeks ago we looked at her theory of where emotions originate. This has important implications for things like: How our 'body budgets' affect our feelings How we make meaning from our feelings so our internal experience makes sense That we don't always understand other people's feelings very well! The introduction to the theory plus the conversation plus the take-home messages would have made for an unwieldy episode, so I split it in half. Today we conclude the conversation with Dr. Barrett and I also offer some thoughts about things I think are really important from across the two episodes, including: What we can do with the information our feelings give us How long we should support children in feeling their feelings (given that they don't always mean what we think they mean!) and when we should help them move on Some tools we can use to re-regulate in difficult moments with our kids Dr. Lisa Feldman Barrett's Books (Affiliate Links) How Emotions are Made: The Secret Life of the Brain Seven and a Half Lessons About the Brain Other episodes mentioned 129: The physical reasons you yell at your kids Jump to Highlights 00:59 Introducing today's episode and featured guests 05:01 People in chaotic or uncertain situations, like poverty or neurodivergence, face greater challenges due to the increased stress on their body budgets. 18:02 Understanding and managing personal needs as a parent, along with emotional flexibility, can lead to more effective responses to children. 23:46 Parents need to balance their own feelings with their children's by asking if their kids want empathy or help. They should remember that every interaction is a chance to teach kids how to manage their emotions. 31:07 Parents can view their empathy for their children as a sign of competence, balancing their own needs with their child's emotions. 34:22 Jen draws conclusions from Dr. Lisa Feldman Barrett's research on emotions, highlighting how parents can use this understanding to empower their children in navigating feelings and enhancing emotional literacy.
