For years, anesthesia providers have relied on subjective assessments to evaluate neuromuscular recovery. These methods, while familiar, often fall short in ensuring patient safety. As evidence mounts regarding the risks associated with residual paralysis, the need for more precise and objective monitoring has never been clearer. That's why we're taking a closer look at Quantatative train-of-four (TOF) monitoring with Richie Flowers, CHSE, CRNA, DNP, FAANA and Lisandro Hernandez, DNP, CRNA to learn more about why it's gaining traction in operating rooms nationwide.

I'm still going through some older reruns for the summer due to my travel schedule. This one is an interview with Rocío Titiunik, a quantitative methods political scientist and professor in the department of politics at Princeton University, as well as a researcher that has been at the frontier of work on regression discontinuity designs. Her name is synonymous with cutting-edge work on regression discontinuity design, developed in close collaboration with scholars like Sebastián Calonico, Matías Cattaneo, and Max Farrell. Together, they've shaped the modern landscape of causal inference, not only through groundbreaking theory but also through widely used software tools in R, Stata, and Python. In addition to her contributions to quantitative methodology, Rocío's applied research — from electoral behavior to democratic institutions — has become a major voice in political science. She also holds a formidable editorial footprint: associate editor for Science Advances, Political Analysis, and the American Journal of Political Science, and APSR. It's no exaggeration to say she helps steer the field as much as she contributes to it.In this older interview, Rocío shared how her journey into economics began not with data, but with theory, literature, and the big questions that led her to the discipline. Her path into Berkeley's PhD program in agricultural and resource economics was anything but linear, and even once there, she wasn't sure how all the parts of herself — the scholar, the immigrant, the thinker — would fit together. During our conversation, she opened up about moments of uncertainty, of feeling lost in the sheer vastness of academic economics. Her honesty was disarming. It reminded me that no matter how decorated someone's résumé may be, we're all just trying to find our way — and sometimes, the most important breakthroughs happen when we admit we haven't arrived yet.Thanks again for tuning in!

Episode Summary: This episode of the Paralegals on Fire Podcast, hosted by Linda Odermott, takes listeners through Minnesota's innovative strides in enhancing access to justice through the Legal Paraprofessional Program (LPPS). Designed to boost the representation rate among underserved communities, the LPPS has already transitioned from a pilot to a permanent program as of January 2024, thanks to its promising results and positive feedback. Linda discusses the intricacies of this initiative, emphasizing the significance of Minnesota's data-driven approach that considers both qualitative and quantitative metrics to measure the program's effectiveness.   Key Takeaways: Minnesota's Legal Paraprofessional Program (LPPS) has evolved from a pilot initiative to a permanent, state-endorsed project. The program bridges the justice gap for low and modest-income individuals by enabling legal paraprofessionals to provide court representation. Quantitative and qualitative data collection has been crucial to evaluating the program's success and expanding its scope. Significant feedback from legal professionals and judiciary members indicates increased satisfaction and efficiency in court proceedings. There's potential for other states to emulate Minnesota's model, emphasizing data-driven reforms to expand access to legal services.

Upthinking Finance™ is now trademarked Today's guest is Kristian Kerr, who is the head of macro Strategy at LPL Finance. Before joining LPL, he was the Western region head of foreign exchange and macro at City Private Bank. Before that, he spent a number of years in New York as a global hedge fund manager and is also head of various strategy and trading roles at other global financial institutions. Kristian believes investment strategy should be both data-driven and guided by human expertise. He says that this balance creates a more dynamic, flexible, and effective investment process that aims to deliver better long-term results. He shares his views on how investors should handle the changing market.You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in...Welcome to Upthinking Finance (00:00)Kristian shares his process as an advisor (01:20)The challenge of managing more risk, post 2020 (05:30)Market correlations changing, impact on portfolio development (09:15)How geopolitics impact market trends (21:20)How investing has changed in the past decade (26:10)What's the value of trend following strategies? (28:00)How to respond to someone who thinks the financial market will end (35:35)Kristian Shares His Investment ProcessAs Head of Macro Strategy at LPL, Kristian is responsible for leading the firm's global investment team, which includes 11 senior research members. They meet weekly to define LPL's overall investment strategy and provide top-down guidance for managing approximately $85 billion across separately managed accounts (SMAs) and model portfolios. He shares that they use a hybrid investment framework that combines: Quantitative (systematic) analysis to efficiently process data, reduce bias, and ensure consistency, and Qualitative (discretionary) insight from experienced professionals to account for factors that can't be captured by models alone.Managing More Market Risks Kristian shares how different clients have different levels of awareness about risk, and how portfolio managers often need to manage risk that clients might not even realize exists. This is especially true in today's uncertain environment, which is much more complex than it was 10 years ago. A few of the modern risks include that the standard 60/40 investment strategies are less reliable, the U.S. dollar is at a pivotal point based on its value, and there is financial repression from government strategies at play in the current market. To manage both visible and hidden risks for clients, Kristian explains that adapting happens by incorporating less correlated, alternative assets to build “all-weather” portfolios that can hold up in a wide range of market conditions.A Diverse PortfolioKristian values trend-following strategies as a critical part of a diversified portfolio, especially when paired with traditional assets like stocks and bonds. These strategies shine during extended market downturns (like in 2022), offering protection when equities are struggling. While they may underperform during short-term market bounces, that's expected as their role is to protect during prolonged stress, not quick dips. Kristian emphasizes using a “barbell” approach, combining growth-oriented assets with defensive strategies, and highlights the importance of building a toolkit of diversifiers (like long-volatility) to navigate different market regimes and support long-term compounding.Connect With Kristian KerrKristian KerrConnect with Emerson Fersch

Artemiza Woodgate is Founding Partner at Integrated Quantitative Investments LLC, based in Seattle.  She has spent most of her career in the quantitative investment arena, including close to 5 years with Numeric, Man Group, and over 11 years with Russell Investments. Our conversation opens with the 3Ms that Artemiza says define her – she is a mother, a mathematician and a lover of mountains. We return then to her roots, she grew up in communist Romania and how that impacted her and her approach to risk, money and outlook. She completed a PhD in finance at the University of Washington and following a career in quantitative investment and ultimately launched her own firm. We dive into her focus within the quantitative investing sphere – and discuss in particular her focus on asset pricing, earnings management, and price momentum, emphasizing the importance of minimizing estimation error and integrating risk and alpha.  Turning to career Artemiza stresses the challenges of balancing motherhood and career, the importance of networks, and the role of emerging manager programs in fostering innovation in asset management. Thank you to GCM Grosvenor and Resolute Investment Managers, Inc. for sponsoring Series 3 of 2025. GCM Grosvenor is a global alternative asset management firm with a longstanding commitment to supporting small, emerging, and diverse investment managers.

Folks… it's July 2025. CPI's doing the tango at 3.4%, theFed Funds Rate sits like a silent sniper at 5.25%, and Jerome Powell still talks like he's trying to explain algebra to an emotionally unavailable teenager. “Data dependent,” they say. That phrase is the Fed's safe word. Meanwhile, M2 money supply is quietly up 11% from last year's contraction — that's not stimulus, that's economic cosplay.

For this episode of Sell With Authority we're zeroing in on something every agency needs — trust at scale. Not vanity metrics. Not louder messaging in an already crowded feed. Real credibility — earned in public — where your right-fit clients are watching, judging, and deciding whether you're the expert worth hiring. The noise isn't going away. And if you've been putting in the work — creating content, showing up on the right channels, following all the authority-building advice — but your pipeline still feels sluggish or unpredictable, you might be stuck in what we call “yelling in a crowded arena.” And that's exactly why today's conversation matters. According to Edelman's 2025 Trust Barometer, nearly 70% of buyers say they've made a purchasing decision based on what they saw in public forums — reviews, comments, even how companies respond. Your agency's reputation, and your clients' reputations, are being shaped long before any discovery call gets booked. Your authority position isn't just your content — it's how you show up in conversations that are already happening online. What if you could help your agency — and your right-fit clients — show up more consistently, more authentically, and with more trust, without burning out your team? That's why I'm excited to introduce today's guest George Swetlitz, co-founder of RightResponse AI. George isn't just another SaaS founder chasing trends. He knows how to lead teams, implement systems, and grow by solving real problems — repeatably. His mission now is giving agencies a way to scale review response, build trust across platforms, and mine authentic insight — all without sacrificing the human touch. If you're looking for a smarter way to earn authority… If you want to build trust before that first meeting is even on the calendar… And if you're curious how AI can actually help you do more with less — this conversation with George is one you don't want to miss. What you will learn in this episode:  Why your authority position is decided before you ever get a meeting The moment when reviews and responses become the “make or break” for customer conversion A behind-the-scenes look at big AI vs. little AI How reviews, competitor analysis, and the “recency effect” can future-proof your authority in pitches and client retention Quantitative strategies to use reviews as data Why your website isn't the center of your reputation universe How to step into a sales pitch armed with hard data about a prospective client's competitive landscape Resources: Website: https://www.rightresponseai.com/ LinkedIn Personal: https://www.linkedin.com/in/george-swetlitz-7b43812/ LinkedIn Business: https://www.linkedin.com/company/rightresponse-inc/

Season 8 continues with our conversations about the new strategic direction at the David Eccles School of Business with a particular focus on the third pillar of the new strategic plan: reputation and legacy. Scott Schaefer is a chair and professor in the division of Quantitative Analysis of Markets and Organizations (QAMO) at the Marriner S Eccles Institute for Economics and Quantitative Analysis. Frances and Scott discuss the legacy of Mariner S. Eccles, the goals of the Institute, and the importance of quantitative skills in business education. Scott elaborates on how the QAMO major equips students with analytical, strategic, and market understanding, preparing them for diverse career paths. Scott also touches upon the societal impact of the institute, the crucial role of faculty research, and the aspirations to position the David Eccles School of Business among the top 10 public business schools by the year 2030.Eccles Business Buzz is a production of the David Eccles School of Business and is produced by University.fm.Eccles Business Buzz is proud to be selected by FeedSpot as one of the Top 70 Business School podcasts on the web. Learn more athttps://podcast.feedspot.com/us_business_school_podcasts. Episode Quotes:3 focal points of the QAMO program[03:55] What we focus on in our program is taking the parts of economics that are really applicable to business decision-making and showing those to undergraduate students and giving them those skills. We like to say we focus on three things in that program. We focus on how markets work. We focus on how to think strategically and how to analyze data.The importance of having quantitative skills[11:57] Frances Johnson: Do you think that sometimes quantitative skills get a little de-emphasized, and why are those skills just as important? Talk about the package and why these quantitative skills have to be as much a part of a successful business education.[13:54] Scott Schaefer: If you're going to rise and lead and really understand all the pieces of an organization, you've got to have the whole package. Not that everybody needs to be [a] calculus genius, but if you don't have quantitative skills enough to understand what the quantitative people in your organization are saying to you, then you know they're going to mislead you for their own purposes, and you're going to run that train right off the tracks. So, I think that the people I've met tend to be incredibly well-rounded. They don't have to be great at everything, but they have to be good enough at everything. It's a very complicated skill set needed to run a business effectively. And I think we should hold business decision-making in higher regard because it's incredibly complicated and also important.How the Marriner S. Eccles Institute is shaping the reputation and legacy of our school[18:04] You know, one of the ways that students could become, for example, the CEO of an S&P 500 company would be to start a career in consulting, transition at some point to that client, and then work their way up through that company. And so, it would be great to have alumni in positions like that, you know, leading the largest companies in the United States. We've had alumni have that career trajectory before. Would be great to have more, to give those opportunities to students. And I think that will increase the prominence of our institution. That's the kind of thing that top 10 public business schools do. And I think we're on the path to getting there. With regard to the reputation of the place, more broadly, outside of just what our alumni do, you know, we've hired outstanding faculty as part of the Marriner S. Eccles Institute. That's a big part of what the original gift was designed to do—to help us build a faculty. And our professors are doing really outstanding economics research that's building our reputation within academia. And so, we have our target set firmly on the top public business schools. You know, we look at a place like Berkeley or Michigan or Indiana or UCLA, and we're looking at who their faculty are and what kind of research they're producing and the societal impact of that research. That's what we're after. And we're really in the process of hitting that mark. Our faculty has really hit their stride over the last few years. And we're very excited for the future.Show Links:Scott Schaefer | Faculty Profile | University of UtahScott Schaefer | LinkedInMarriner S.

In this episode we follow up on our conversation with Tim Lash on Quantitative Bias Analysis (QBA), something both Hailey and I have experience with. We talk about what QBA is, why you would want to use it and for what sources of bias it is most applicable. We talk about our own experience with QBA and when we find it most useful. We talk about cases where lots of measurement error leads to little bias and cases where small amounts of measurement error leads to lots of bias. We talk about the overused phrase “non-differential bias towards the null” and why we both hate it. We discuss the impact of bias in terms of direction, magnitude and uncertainty in study results. We talk about the critiques of the methods and when QBA should be done. And we discuss what the role of peer review is (and if it should include QBA). And we discuss Matt's whether our small talk is useful, our ability to time travel and whether naps are good or bad and if podcasts can nap.

Professor Steve H. Hanke, professor of applied economics at Johns Hopkins University and the founder and co-director of the Institute for Applied Economics, Global Health, and the Study of Business Enterprise, joins Julia La Roche on episode 265 to discuss the economy and his new book "Making Money Work: How to Rewrite the Rules of Our Financial System." Sponsors: Monetary Metals. https://monetary-metals.com/julia Kalshi: https://kalshi.com/juliaIn this episode, Hanke warns of an 80% recession probability by year-end, driven by regime uncertainty from Trump's policy changes and money supply contraction since April 2022. He critiques the Federal Reserve's narrow focus on interest rates while ignoring quantitative tightening and argues for putting money supply and commercial banks back at the center of monetary policy. Hanke explains how Fed policies create wealth inequality by inflating asset prices that benefit the rich, advocating for "neutrality" as the goal of monetary policy. He dismisses Trump's "big beautiful bill" as fiscally irresponsible and calls for a constitutional convention to implement a Swiss-style debt brake. The conversation covers his new book's thesis that monetary policy should focus on money supply growth rather than interest rates, with commercial banks producing 80% of the money supply through lending.Links: Twitter/X: https://x.com/steve_hankeMaking Money Work book: https://www.amazon.com/Making-Money-Work-Rewrite-Financial/dp/139425726000:00 - Introduction of Professor Steve Hanke 01:28 - Regime uncertainty concept and Trump's policy changes 03:52 - Tariffs as taxes on international transactions 06:20 - 80% recession probability by end of year 08:31 - Money supply contraction since April 2022 10:51 - Bubble indicator and market complacency discussion 12:52 - Family call interruption from Dominican Republic 13:24 - Market in bubble territory explanation 16:11 - Federal Reserve critique and FOMC meeting outlook 18:27 - Quantitative tightening vs interest rate focus 19:04 - Three pillars of the book's thesis 25:46 - Neutrality as monetary policy objective 29:30 - How Fed policy creates wealth inequality 32:15 - Catalyst for writing the book 37:09 - "Big beautiful bill" critique and fiscal concerns 42:34 - Swiss debt brake constitutional solution 46:25 - Key prices to watch: gold, 10-year yields, dollar-euro, stocks

What's the architecture of a DMT experience, who are the entities that regularly interact and what's their message? How can DMT therapy facilitate positive mental health outcomes?In this episode we're going to learn about the bizarre types of experience that users of DMT have; DMT being the most powerful hallucinogenic molecule on the planet. So we'll be getting into the background of psychedelics for mental health; and the particularities of DMT, the active ingredient in Ahyuasca and the psychedelic that most often presents entities that interact meaningfully with the experiencer; we're going to discuss the different types of entities: from mythological creatures, to Gods and Demons, to machine elves and aliens, and the significance of these same characters appearing significantly often without an obvious primer; we'll also discuss the importance of mystical experience and teacher /guide experiences to positive mental health outcomes.Fortunately our guest was the head researcher on a 2022 paper that looked at exactly this topic, the medical doctor and sports scientist professor at the University of Toronto, Dr. David Wyndham Lawrence.

Psychology for Quant Traders? Really?Quantitative futures traders like to think in code, not clichés—but Dr Brett Steenbarger makes a compelling case that mindset is part of the edge. In this interview, Brett argues that the same statistical rigor quants apply to markets should be applied to the grey matter behind the keyboard. Here's a guide for the advanced systematic trader who suspects “psy-stuff” might be more than motivational posters.The punch-line from Brett's research is simple: systematic trading is less “set-and-forget” and more Formula 1 pit-crew—engineering precision plus real-time human performance. Code finds edges; psychology keeps you creative enough to refresh them. Or, as one of Brett's blog posts puts it, “We can't run robust systems from brittle minds.” Not a bad mantra to stick on your trading monitor!#traderpsychology #tradermindset #tradinginthezone

In this episode we talk to Dr. Timothy Lash of Emory University about Quantitative Bias Analysis (QBA). We talk about how QBA is any method that quantifies the impact of non-random error. We talk about direction magnitude and uncertainty. We differentiate from sensitivity analysis, and we talk about how to identify key sources of bias. We talk about bias models and bias parameters and how we draw inferences from bias analyses. We talk about validation data and where you can get it. We talk about why predictive values often aren't as useful as classification values for bias analysis. We talk about how bias analysis can strengthen your results and that our intuition about the impact of biases is t always great. And we talk about how bias analysis can guide your future research. We differentiate between simple and probabilistic bias analysis. And we end with some examples of cases where bias analysis is really helpful.

In this episode, Wade and Alex explore the world of hedge funds—what they are, how they're structured, and how they've evolved from simple hedging tools into complex investment vehicles. They break down common fee models, challenges in measuring performance, and the impact of data biases. The conversation also covers key hedge fund strategies—including long-short, market neutral, arbitrage, and quantitative approaches—highlighting their mechanics, risk profiles, and what they mean for investors, particularly those nearing retirement. Listen now to learn more!   Takeaways Hedge funds are actively managed investment vehicles with fewer regulatory constraints. They aim for absolute returns, regardless of market direction. The traditional fee model is “2 and 20”—2% management fee and 20% of profits. Fees are declining due to growing competition and investor scrutiny. Performance is difficult to assess due to survivorship bias and data limitations. Investors should be cautious of marketing claims and understand the fund's true strategy. Long-short strategies bet on both rising and falling stocks. Market neutral strategies attempt to remove market exposure to focus on relative performance. Arbitrage seeks to profit from temporary price inefficiencies. Quantitative strategies rely on data-driven models to guide trades. Risk premium harvesting involves tilting toward factors like value or momentum. Short selling helps with price discovery but carries risk due to unlimited loss potential. Understanding alpha (excess return) and beta (market exposure) is key to evaluating hedge fund performance. Technology is central to many modern trading strategies. Informed investors are better positioned to navigate complex alternatives like hedge funds.

The backbone of good marketing is the quality of the research. The best insight comes from hearing real audiences talk about their real experiences.Traditional research can cost thousands and still miss the people who don't get a seat at the table. Quantitative data tells you what's common. Social listening reveals what's missing.   In this episode, Michael talks with Jamie Doggett, Associate Director at Lumanity, about why social listening is a standout tool for marketers who want to go deeper than the data and closer to the truth. They explore how social listening works, what it uncovers that surveys don't, and why unprompted insight and digital body language are changing how we understand behaviour, especially in healthcare.   If you believe good marketing starts with empathy, not assumptions, this one's for you.

Hello Interactors,Cities are layered by past priorities. I was just in Overland Park, Kansas, where over the last 25 years I've seen malls rise, fall, and shift outward as stores leave older spaces behind.When urban systems shift — due to climate, capital, codes, or crisis — cities drift. These changes ripple across scales and resemble fractal patterns, repeating yet evolving uniquely.This essay traces these patterns: past regimes, present signals, and competing questions over what's next.URBAN SCRIPTS AND SHIFTING SCALESAs cities grow, they remember.Look at a city's form — the way its streets stretch, how its blocks bend, where its walls break. These are not neutral choices. They are residues of regimes. Spatial decisions shaped by power, fear, belief, or capital.In ancient Rome, cities were laid out in strict grids. Streets ran along two axes: the cardo and decumanus. It made the city legible to the empire — easy to control, supply, and expand. Urban form followed the logic of conquest.As cartography historian, O. A. W. Dilke writes,“One of the main advantages of a detailed map of Rome was to improve the efficiency of the city's administration. Augustus had divided Rome into fourteen districts, each subdivided into vici. These districts were administered by annually elected magistrates, with officials and public slaves under them.”In medieval Europe, cities got messy. Sovereignty was fragmented. Trade replaced tribute. Guilds ran markets as streets tangled around church and square. The result was organic — but not random. It reflected a new mode of life: small-scale, interdependent, locally governed.In 19th-century Paris, the streets changed again. Narrow alleys became wide boulevards. Not just for beauty — for visibility and force. Haussmann's renovations made room for troops, light, and clean air. It was urban form as counter-revolution.Then came modernism. Superblocks, towers, highways. A form that made sense for mass production, cheap land, and the car. Planning became machine logic — form as efficiency.Each of these shifts marked the arrival of a new spatial calculus — ways of organizing the built environment in response to systemic pressures. Over time, these approaches came to be described by urbanists as morphological regimes: durable patterns of urban form shaped not just by architecture, but by ideology, infrastructure, and power. The term “morphology” itself was borrowed from biology, where it described the structure of organisms. In urban studies, it originally referred to the physical anatomy of the city — blocks, plots, grids, and streets. But today the field has broadened. It's evolved into more of a conceptual lens: not just a way of classifying form, but of understanding how ideas sediment into space. Today, morphology tracks how cities are shaped — not only physically, but discursively and increasingly so, computationally. Urban planning scholar Geoff Boeing calls urban form a “spatial script.” It encodes decisions made long ago — about who belongs where, what gets prioritized, and what can be seen or accessed. Other scholars treated cities like palimpsests — a term borrowed from manuscript studies, where old texts were scraped away and overwritten, yet traces remained. In urban form, each layer carries the imprint of a former spatial logic, never fully erased. Michael Robert Günter (M. R. G.) Conzen, a British geographer, pioneered the idea of town plan analysis in the 1960s. He examined how street patterns, plot divisions, and building forms reveal historical shifts. Urban geographer and architect, Anne Vernez Moudon brought these methods into contemporary urbanism. She argued that morphological analysis could serve as a bridge between disciplines, from planning to architecture to geography. Archaeologist Michael E. Smith goes further. Specializing in ancient cities, Smith argues that urban form doesn't just reflect culture — it produces it. In early settlements, the spatial organization of plazas, roads, and monuments actively shaped how people understood power, social hierarchy, and civic identity. Ritual plazas weren't just for ceremony — they structured the cognitive and social experience of space. Urban form, in this sense, is conceptual. It's how a society makes its world visible. And when that society changes — politically, economically, technologically — so does its form. Not immediately. Not neatly. But eventually. Almost always in response to pressure from the outside.INTERVAL AND INFLECTIONUrban morphology used to evolve slowly. But today, it changes faster — and with increasing volatility. Physicist Geoffrey West, and other urban scientists, describes how complex systems like cities exhibit superlinear scaling: as they grow, they generate more innovation, infrastructure, and socio-economic activity at an accelerating pace. But this growth comes with a catch: the system becomes dependent on continuous bursts of innovation to avoid collapse. West compares it to jumping from one treadmill to another — each one running faster than the last. What once took centuries, like the rise of industrial manufacturing, is now compressed into decades or less. The intervals between revolutions — from steam power to electricity to the internet — keep shrinking, and cities must adapt at an ever-faster clip just to maintain stability. But this also breeds instability as the intervals between systemic transformations shrink. Cities that once evolved over centuries can now shift in decades.Consider Rome. Roman grid structure held for centuries. Medieval forms persisted well into the Renaissance. Even Haussmann's Paris boulevards endured through war and modernization. But in the 20th century, urban morphology entered a period of rapid churn. Western urban regions shifted from dense industrial cores to sprawling postwar suburbs to globalized financial districts in under a century — each a distinct regime, unfolding at unprecedented speed.Meanwhile, rural and exurban zones transformed too. Suburbs stretched outward. Logistics corridors carved through farmland. Industrial agriculture consolidated land and labor. The whole urban-rural spectrum was redrawn — not evenly, but thoroughly — over a few decades.Why the speed?It's not just technology. It's the stacking of exogenous shocks. Public health crises. Wars. Economic crashes. Climate shifts. New empires. New markets. New media. These don't just hit policy — they hit form.Despite urbanities adaptability, it resists change. But when enough pressure builds, it breaks and fragments — or bends fast.Quantitative historians like Peter Turchin describe these moments as episodes of structural-demographic pressure. His theory suggests that as societies grow, they cycle through phases of expansion and instability. When rising inequality, elite overproduction, and resource strain coincide, the system enters a period of fragility. The ruling class becomes bloated and competitive, public trust erodes, and the state's ability to mediate conflict weakens. At some point, the social contract fractures — not necessarily through revolution, but through cumulative dysfunction that demands structural transformation.Cities reflect that process spatially. The street doesn't revolt. But it reroutes. The built environment shows where power has snapped or shifted. Consider Industrial Modernity. Assuming we start in 1850, it took roughly 100 years before the next regime took shape — the Fordist-Suburban Expansion starting in roughly 1945. It took around 30-40 years for deregulation to hit in the 80s. By 1995 information, communication, and technology accelerated globalization, financialization, and the urban regime we're currently in — Neoliberal Polycentrism.Neoliberal Polycentricism may sound like a wonky and abstract term, but it reflects a familiar reality: a pattern of decentralized, uneven urban growth shaped by market-driven logics. While some scholars debate the continued utility of the overused term 'neoliberalism' itself, its effects on the built environment remain visible. Market priorities continue to dominate and reshape spatial development and planning norms. It is not a wholly new spatial condition. It's the latest articulation of a longer American tradition of decentralizing people and capital beyond the urban core. In the 19th century, this dynamic took shape through the rise of satellite towns, railroad suburbs, and peripheral manufacturing hubs. These developments were often driven by speculative land ventures, private infrastructure investments, and the desire to escape the regulatory and political constraints of city centers. The result was a form of urban dispersal that created new nodes of growth, frequently insulated from municipal oversight and rooted in socio-economic and racial segregation. This early polycentricism, like fireworks spawning in all directions from the first blast, set the stage for later waves of privatized suburbanization and regional fragmentation. Neoliberalism would come to accelerate and codify this expansion.It came in the form of edge cities, exurbs, and special economic zones that proliferated in the 80s and 90s. They grew not as organic responses to demographic needs, but as spatial products of deregulated markets and speculative capital. Governance fragmented. Infrastructure was often privatized or outsourced. As Joel Garreau's 1991 book Edge City demonstrates, a place like Tysons Corner, Virginia — a highway-bound, developer-led edge city — embodied this shift: planned by commerce, not civic vision. A decade later, planners tried to retrofit that vision — adding transit, density, and walkability — but progress has been uneven, with car infrastructure still shaping much of daily life.This regime aligned with the rise of financial abstraction and logistical optimization. As Henry Farrell and Abraham Newman argue in Underground Empire, digital finance extended global capitalism's reach by creating a networked infrastructure that allowed capital to move seamlessly across borders, largely outside the control of democratic institutions. Cities and regions increasingly contorted themselves to host these flows — rebranding, rezoning, and reconfiguring their form to attract global liquidity.At the same time, as historian Quinn Slobodian notes, globalism was not simply about market liberalization but about insulating capital from democratic constraint. This logic played out spatially through the proliferation of privatized enclaves, special jurisdictions, and free trade zones — spaces engineered to remain separate from public oversight while remaining plugged into global markets.In metro cores, this led to vertical Central Business Districts, securitized plazas, and speculative towers. In the suburbs and exurbs, it encouraged the low-density, car-dependent landscapes that still propagate. It's still packaged as freedom but built on exclusion. In rural zones, the same logic produces logistics hubs, monoculture farms, and fractured small towns caught precariously between extraction and abandonment.SEDIMENT AND SENTIMENTWhat has emerged in the U.S., and many other countries, is a fragmented patchwork: privatized downtowns, disconnected suburbs, branded exurbs, and digitally tethered hinterlands…often with tax advantages. All governed by the same regime, but expressed through vastly different forms.We're in a regime that promised flexibility, innovation, and shared global prosperity — a future shaped by open markets, technological dynamism, and spatial freedom. But that promise is fraying. Ecological and meteorological breakdown, housing instability, and institutional exhaustion are revealing the deep limits of this model.The cracks are widening. The pandemic scrambled commuting rhythms and retail flows that reverberate to this day. Climate stress reshapes assumptions about where and how to build. Platforms restructure access to space as AI wiggles its way into every corner. Through it all, the legitimacy of traditional planning models, even established forms of governing, weakens.Some historians may call this an interregnum — a space between dominant systems, where the old still governs in form, but its power to convince has faded. The term comes from political theory, describing those in-between moments when no single order fully holds. It's a fitting word for times like these, when spatial logic lingers physically but loses meaning conceptually. The dominant spatial logic remains etched in roads, zoning codes, and skylines — but its conceptual scaffolding is weakening. Whether seen as structural-demographic strain or spatial realignment, this is a moment of uncertainty. The systems that once structured urban life — zoning codes, master plans, market forecasts — may no longer provide a stable map. And that's okay. Interregnums, as political theorist Christopher Hobson reminds us, aren't just voids between orders — they are revealing. Moments when the cracks in dominant systems allow us to see what had been taken for granted. They offer space to reflect, to experiment, and to reimagine.Maybe what comes next is less of a plan and more of a posture — an attitude of attentiveness, humility, and care. As they advise when getting sucked out to sea by a rip tide: best remain calm and let it spit you out where it may than try to fight it. Especially given natural laws of scale theory suggests these urban rhythms are accelerating and their transitions are harder to anticipate. Change may not unfold through neat stages, but arrive suddenly, triggered by thresholds and tipping points. Like unsuspectingly floating in the warm waters of a calm slack tide, nothing appears that different until rip tide just below the surface reveals everything is.In that sense, this drifting moment is not just prelude — it is transformation in motion. Cities have always adapted under pressure — sometimes slowly, sometimes suddenly. But they rarely begin anew. Roman grids still anchor cities from London to Barcelona. Medieval networks persist beneath tourist maps and tangled streets. Haussmann's boulevards remain etched across Paris, shaping flows of traffic and capital. These aren't ghosts — they're framing. Living sediment.Today's uncertainty is no different. It may feel like a void, but it's not empty. It's layered. Transitions build on remnants, repurposing forms even as their meanings shift. Parcel lines, zoning overlays, server farms, and setback requirements — these are tomorrow's layered manuscripts — palimpsests.But it's not just physical traces we inherit. Cities also carry conceptual ones — ideas like growth, public good, infrastructure, or progress that were forged under earlier regimes. As historian Elias Palti reminds us, concepts are not fixed. They are contingent, born in conflict, and reshaped in uncertainty. In moments like this, even the categories we use to interpret urban life begin to shift. The city, then, is not just a built form — it's a field of meaning. And in the cracks of the old, new frameworks begin to take shape. The work now is not only to build differently, but to think differently too.REFERENCESDilke, O. A. W. (1985). Greek and Roman Maps. Cornell University Press.Boeing, Geoff.

I’m Dr. Genevieve Hayes, and I’m here again with Andrei Oprisan. Head of engineering at agent.[00:00:21] ai to turbocharge your data science career in less time than it takes to run a simple query. In today’s episode, we’re going to explore how data scientists can leverage the current AI boom to accelerate their career progression. Welcome back, Andre.[00:00:40] Andrei Oprisan: Thank you. Great to be here.[00:00:41] Dr Genevieve Hayes: So as I mentioned at the start of our previous episode together, we are at the dawn of an AI revolution with unprecedented opportunities for data scientists.[00:00:51] Now, through your current role at Agent. ai, and prior roles at AI centric companies, such as OneScreen. ai, you’ve clearly managed to capitalize on this AI boom, and are actively continuing to do so, and have managed to build a very impressive career for yourself, partly as a result. Now, the Internet’s full of career tips, but they’re usually very generic advice from career coaches who’ve never worked in the data science or technology space, and their advice usually doesn’t take into account the specific context of the AI landscape.[00:01:35] What’s one specific strategy that data scientists can use right now to leverage the AI boom for faster career progression?[00:01:44] Andrei Oprisan: I would say first building some expertise and prompt engineering and AI model evaluation. I think that’s a foundation on top of that. I think it’s developing some systematic approaches for comparing different models outputs on domain specific tasks and then creating something maybe like a reliable evaluation framework.[00:02:05] For example, you could create an eval set. Or tasks in a field and developing some quantitative or qualitative metrics to assess how different models perform compared to traditional approaches and that can really position you as someone who can actually properly integrate AI tools into existing workflows while having that element of scientific rigor.[00:02:28] , it’s leveraging the existing trends around prompt engineering around the different models that are coming up every week, every month. Every quarter and figuring out, how we are going to showcase when to maybe use 1 versus another with the scientific approach with again, I would start as simple as.[00:02:47] An eval from the kind of work that you’re doing in your current role or organization, or thinking about adjacent organizations and adjacent kind of strategies to then create some examples of when and when you wouldn’t. Use certain models because of, some numbers where you can show in an email that, this model does really well in this kind of let’s say, classification in this specific domain versus. One that doesn’t . I think from there, you can iterate and do some even more interesting work very repeatedly and looking at some adjacent domains and apply the same sort of technical solutioning to other domains.[00:03:26] Dr Genevieve Hayes: I read an article recently that was written shortly after the launch of the DeepSeek LLM. And there was a group of researchers at a university that were evaluating the model. And they had a series of prompts that could be used to find out, can this model be used to produce offensive or dangerous information?[00:03:49] And they had something like 50 prompts and they randomly chose 10 of them and ran it against that. Is that the same sort of thing that you’re proposing, but obviously specific to the person’s organization?[00:04:03] Andrei Oprisan: That’s exactly it. So I think starting as simple as again this prompt engineering and writing out a few of those prompts and be able to get some kind of repeatable answer, whether it’s a score, whether it’s, selecting from a set of options, just anything that you can then repeat and measure in a Quantitative way[00:04:24] and like, we can say, okay, it is this category, we’re getting with these, let’s say 50 prompts we’re consistently getting, 10 percent of the answers are incorrect, but 90 percent where we’re getting this kind of consistent answer and an answer that can actually be useful.[00:04:40] And then looking at different kinds of models and and then figuring out, how do they form? But also, how might you improve that? And apply some level of scientific method thinking around, ultimately, what can you change to improve? Essentially, what are still these for most folks, black boxes these LLMs that, And go something outcome, something else, and maybe demystifying what that looks like in terms of consistency at the very least in terms of accuracy over time.[00:05:12] And then, it could even take on more advanced topics. Like. How can you improve those results once you have a baseline starting point, you can say, okay, sure. Now, here’s how I improved, or here’s how maybe the prompts were. Incorrect or, they behave differently given a different LLM or, maybe you push different boundaries around context window size on the Google models are not the best.[00:05:38] But they’re the best at dealing with large data sets. there’s a trade off at a certain point in terms of speed and accuracy and cost.[00:05:47] And so then introducing some of these different dimensions, or maybe only looking at those in terms of, you know, yes, if this LLM takes 10 seconds to get me a 98 percent accurate answer, but this other one takes half a second to give me a 95 percent accurate answer, which one would you choose and a business context essentially the faster one that is a little bit cheaper.[00:06:11] Might actually be the right answer. So there’s different kinds of trade offs, I think, given different kinds of context. And I think exploring what that might look like would be a really good way to kind of apply some of those technical skills and looking at some of those other dimensions, around things like pricing and runtime execution time.[00:06:31] Dr Genevieve Hayes: And I can guarantee if you take a strategy like this, you will become the AI expert in your office, and you will be invited to every single AI centric meeting the senior management have forevermore because I did something similar to this it was before LLMs. It was with those cloud cognitive service type APIs.[00:06:50] And anytime one of those came up, I was the person people thought of. I got invited to the meeting. So, this is really good career advice.[00:06:59] Andrei Oprisan: And really, it starts, I think, growth especially think about how do you grow your career as a technical person? Obviously, part of it is being in the right room at the right time to be able to ask the right kinds of questions to be able to present a technical perspective. And again, I think by pushing on some of these boundaries you get exposed to even bigger.[00:07:20] Opportunities and bigger challenges that do need technical solutions that do need someone with a technical mind to say, You know what? Maybe that doesn’t make sense. Or maybe there is a way to leverage a I, for this problem, but not maybe in the way that you’re thinking, and I think being able to at least present that perspective is incredibly valuable.[00:07:39] Dr Genevieve Hayes: And regardless of which industry you’re working in, the secret to success is you’ve got to get in the room where it happens, as the Hamilton song says, and this sounds like a really good strategy for getting there with regard to LLMs.[00:07:53] That’s a wrap for today’s Value Boost, but if you want more insights from Andre, you’re in luck.[00:08:00] We’ve got a longer episode with Andre where we discuss how data scientists can grow into business leadership roles by exploring Andre’s own career evolution from technology specialist to seasoned technology leader. And it’s packed with no nonsense advice for turning your data skills into serious clout, cash and career freedom.[00:08:23] You can find it now, wherever you found this episode, or at your favorite podcast platform. Thanks for joining me again, Andre.[00:08:31] Andrei Oprisan: for having me. This is great.[00:08:33] Dr Genevieve Hayes: And for those in the audience, thanks for listening. I’m Dr. Genevieve Hayes, and this has been Value Driven Data Science.

In a world that is so preoccupied with assigning blame instead of looking inward, quantitative data provides a fact-focused reprieve, especially when paired with a human-centered approach to data equity. Today, we are joined by Heather Krause, a cross-sector thought leader and speaker on data equity issues with a cutting-edge approach to project design, data collection analysis, reporting, and visualization. As its founder, Heather begins by detailing the work of We All Count before explaining why quantitative data cannot be ignored no matter what circumstance. We learn about the burdens of responsibility of how data is understood and processed, how to change our biased mindsets around data and numbers, the importance of art and creativity in numbers, and why there's a need to think more critically about quantitative data and approach it from a human-centered perspective. We also gain insight into the impact We All Count is having in the communities it serves, the value of threading the needle back to find the source of information (or, in our case, the formula), where AI fits in, and all the things that bring Heather Krause joy while she's at work. Finally, here's some good news for all Joyriders: Official Public Health Joy Podcast merchandise is now available on our website! Thanks for listening, see you next time.  Key Points From This Episode:Data Scientist Heather Krause explains who she is and what she does.

Tom welcomes back Matthew Pipenburg from Von Greyerz Gold Switzerland for another thoughtful swap-fest. They began by discussing the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and its impact on military spending, which has diverted resources away from domestic priorities like healthcare and education. They pointed out that many countries are facing significant debt issues, leading to a shift away from the US dollar as the primary reserve currency. This trend has increased interest in gold as an alternative asset for reserves. The role of gold was a key topic, with Matthew noting that while revaluing gold could offer short-term benefits but it wouldn't resolve the underlying debt crisis. Central banks, especially those in BRICS countries, have been increasing their gold holdings as a strategic reserve, reflecting growing doubts about fiat currencies. Matt criticized high military spending relative to domestic investments in the US, arguing that this imbalance is unsustainable. They also talked about central bank operations and market manipulation. Quantitative easing has led to market distortions and bubbles, while market manipulation risks eroding trust in financial systems. The conversation turned to global shifts, with BRICS countries gaining influence through their increased use of gold as a reserve asset. Tom highlighted the likelihood of significant market corrections due to high valuations and economic instability. Finally, Matthew emphasized the need for informed, fact-based discussions rather than partisan debates, urging critical thinking about government policies and encouraging engagement with diverse viewpoints from contrarian sources like Jeffrey Sachs.

What will you learn today on The Hormone Genius with Guest Dr. Stephanie Kafie? What devices and technology are available for women to track their fertility? What are the advantages and disadvantages of these devices? What are natural signs of fertility that women can track and what are the advantages/disadvantages of these? How can femtech be incorporated into natural family planning for avoiding or achieving pregnancy? Dr. Kafie was kind enough to give additional information about femtech (see below), what devices are available, what the research is behind these methods and how they can be incorporated into NFP methods formally (such as Sympto-thermal or Marquette Method) or informally. Inito Pattnaik S, Das D, Venkatesan VA. A quantitative home-use framework for assessing fertility and identifying novel hormone trends by recording urine hormones. Medrxiv 2022 Bottom Line: Inito can be used for urinary monitoring of LH, estrogen and progesterone to help identify ovulation. Thakur R, Akram F, Rastogi V, Mitra A, Nawani R, Av V, et al. Development of Smartphone-Based Lateral Flow Device for the Quantification of LH and E3G Hormones 2020 Bottom Line: Using Inito for urinary hormone testing was comparable to the gold standard for urinary monitoring of LH, estrogen and progesterone. Inito vs. Mira Bouchard TP. Using Quantitative Hormonal Fertility Monitors to Evaluate the Luteal Phase: Medicina 2023 Bottom Line: There are few studies validating femtech devices: 2 studies for Inito, one study on Proov, and one comparing Mira and Clearblue. Further studies are needed to validate these devices. Clearblue vs. Mira Bouchard TP, Fehring RJ, Mu Q. Quantitative versus qualitative estrogen and luteinizing hormone testing for personal fertility monitoring. Expert Rev Mol Diagn 2021 Bottom Line: Both monitors had dates of ovulation that were highly correlated. Total satisfaction scores were higher for Clearblue than Mira. Marquette Method using Clearblue Monitor - Non-breastfeeding Fehring, R. J., & Schneider, M. (2017). Effectiveness of a Natural Family Planning , MCN, The American Journal of Maternal/Child Nursing Bottom Line: This study showed 98% effectiveness of the Marquette Method in avoiding pregnancy with perfect use in non-breastfeeding women. Marquette Method using Clearblue Monitor - Breastfeeding Bouchard, T., Fehring, R. J., & Schneider, M. (2013). Efficacy of a New Postpartum Transition Protocol for Avoiding Pregnancy. The Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine Bottom Line: With perfect use, this study showed 98% effectiveness of the Marquette Method for avoiding pregnancy during the transition to regular menstrual cycles postpartum. Marquette Method using Clearblue Monitor - Achieving Pregnancy Bouchard, T. P., Fehring, R. J. (2018). Achieving Pregnancy Using Primary Care Interventions to Identify the Fertile Window. Frontiers in Medicine Bottom line: For women who wish to achieve a pregnancy, using a hormonal fertility monitor alone offers to best natural estimate of a woman's fertile phase of her menstrual cycle. Focused intercourse during 24 menstrual cycles can assist couples with achieving pregnancy. Wearable Devices that track fertility - A Review Cromack SC, Walter JR. Consumer wearables and personal devices for tracking the fertile window. Am J Obstet Gynecol. 2024 Bottom Line: More research is needed on these devices. Studies have many limitations with limited sample sizes and researchers who may have a stake in the company.
