Penalty shootouts are one of the most nerve-wracking moments in soccer. A single shot often makes the difference between victory and defeat. Behavioral economist Prof. Benno Torgler from Queensland University of Technology and colleagues are researching how pressure, expectations and mental strain influence players' performance. In conversation, he explains why experience doesn't always help, what happens in the shooters' heads in the decisive seconds and why experienced players are not necessarily the best shooters. - Elfmeterschießen gehört zu den nervenaufreibendsten Momenten im Fußball. Oft entscheidet ein einziger Schuss über Sieg oder Niederlage. Der Verhaltensökonom Prof. Benno Torgler von der Queensland University of Technology erforscht gemeinsam mit Kollegen, wie Druck, Erwartungen und mentale Belastung die Leistung von Spielern beeinflussen. Im Gespräch erklärt er, warum Erfahrung nicht immer hilft, was in den entscheidenden Sekunden im Kopf der Schützen passiert und weshalb erfahrene Spieler nicht unbedingt die besten Schützen sind.

This episode features Norah Elvidge  (School of Nursing, Faculty of Health, Queensland University of Technology, Kelvin Grove, QLD, Australia. Silverchain, Melbourne, VIC, Australia).   What is already known on this topic? Many people with palliative care needs would prefer to be cared for and/or die at home. Many people will be cared for at home by specialist community palliative care services. Despite this, hospitalisation rates remain high for people receiving specialist community palliative care services. Carers face physical, emotional and financial burden caring for someone with palliative care needs at home.   What this paper adds Provides a deeper understanding of the contextual and individual determinants of why people receiving specialist community palliative care access unplanned hospital care. Provides insight into specialist palliative care carer behaviour at the end of life. Highlights the importance of the carer's role in decisions surrounding acute care access for people at the end of life.   Implications for practice, theory or policy Further research is needed to capture the perspective of people receiving specialist community palliative care regarding the reasons for unplanned hospital use. The number of unplanned hospital presentations for people receiving community palliative care may be reduced through the provision of better formal support for their carers. Examining factors contributing to unplanned hospital use supports specialist community palliative care services to refine models of care and optimise care delivery.   Full paper available from:     https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/02692163261418625   If you would like to record a podcast about your published (or accepted) Palliative Medicine paper, please contact Dr Amara Nwosu:  a.nwosu@lancaster.ac.uk

Here in the UK, we might encounter Jewish people that range from secular atheists to highly religious. But Christians can be reluctant to engage in gospel conversation for fear of political pitfalls or cultural offence. How can we navigate the issues we might encounter when sharing the message of Jesus with his original ethnic group? In this episode of PEP Talk, we find some great encouragement and wisdom around evangelism to Jewish people.Rev. Aaron Eime serves as the UK General Director for CMJ, The Church's Ministry among Jewish People. Aaron studied in the master's program at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, with a focus on early Jewish and Christian Interpretation of the Bible. He also studied psychology and sociology at Queensland University in Australia. Aaron is a dedicated Bible teacher exploring the Hebraic roots of the Christian faith. He reads Aramaic and ancient Greek and is fluent in German and Hebrew. He has taught internationally, including in Europe, North America, Hong Kong and China.

EnWave Corporation CEO Brent Charleton joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company's newly signed Research and Development License Agreement (RDLA) with Rhizome Food and Farming, a North American food company led by renowned chef Dan Barber, a recipient of multiple Michelin stars. Charleton explained that the agreement builds on prior engagement involving Row 7, which, through its connection to Barber, had entered into a rental arrangement for a small-scale 3.6kW Radiant Energy Vacuum (REV™) dehydration machine. That equipment supported the development of innovative, chef-driven food products. Row 7 is not affiliated with Rhizome, but the company has since purchased the 3.6kW REV™ system to continue advancing commercial product development. Under the RDLA, Rhizome gains broad rights to use EnWave's REV™ technology for research and development purposes. This includes collaboration with third-party food and agriculture companies on product and process innovation, as well as the production of limited volumes of commercial product for market trials. With this agreement, Rhizome joins EnWave's global network of R&D partners, which includes leading institutions such as Cornell University, the Danish Technological Institute, Queensland University of Technology (QUT) in Australia, and CNTA in Spain. These partners utilize REV™ equipment to collaborate with EnWave, applying vacuum-microwave dehydration technology to solve product-specific challenges and accelerate innovation. Rhizome plans to use REV™ technology as a core component of its culinary and agricultural research ecosystem, exploring “moonshot” ideas in shelf stability, nutrient density, and flavor. The initiative will draw on its extensive network of chefs, scientists, and industry collaborators while helping to de-risk future commercialization opportunities. #proactiveinvestors #enwavecorporation #tsxv #enw #REVTechnology #FoodInnovation #AgriTech #DehydrationTech #RAndD #FoodScience #SustainableFood #CleanTech #CulinaryInnovation #FoodProcessing #AgInnovation #ProductDevelopment #FoodTech #Innovation

Good presentations are not built on politeness first. They are built on attention first. Whether it is a university graduation speech, a chamber of commerce address, a sales presentation in Tokyo, or a boardroom briefing in Otemachi, the opening has to grab people before they drift to their phones, their inbox, or their own internal monologue. Too many speakers confuse formal with effective. They open with clichés, acknowledgements, and safe pleasantries that are completely predictable. That is exactly the problem. Audiences remember stories, vivid scenes, and human moments far more than ceremonial throat-clearing. If you want to be memorable in business, leadership, or public speaking, stop opening like everyone else and start presenting like a real person with something worth saying. Why do so many presentations start badly? Most presentations start badly because the speaker chooses politeness over impact. The audience gets a predictable formula instead of a compelling reason to listen. You see it everywhere: graduation speeches, conference talks, association events, internal company meetings, and even sales kick-offs. The speaker begins by thanking the university, the dean, the chamber of commerce, the organisers, or the worthy guests. It sounds proper, but it is also stale. In Australia, Japan, the US, and Europe, the pattern is the same: formal openings often kill energy before the message even begins. In a post-pandemic world, attention spans are shorter and distraction is constant. Executives at firms like Toyota, Rakuten, or PwC are not judging you only on content; they are judging whether you can command a room. Do now: Audit your first 30 seconds. If your opening sounds interchangeable with a hundred other speeches, replace it. What is a better way to open a speech or business presentation? A better opening is a short, relevant story that creates curiosity immediately. It gives the audience a reason to lean in before you move into thanks, data, or formalities. The best opening story is brief, relatable, and emotionally positive. For a graduation speech, that may be a defining moment from university life. For a business presentation, it may be a meeting, customer moment, leadership lesson, or turning point from your industry. The key is relevance. A room full of graduates, salespeople, or senior leaders does not want abstract theory; they want something real. This is where many speakers go wrong. They front-load acknowledgements and leave the human material until later, if they use it at all. A smart presenter flips that order. First, win attention. Then, handle appreciation and context. That approach works better in SMEs, multinationals, start-ups, and professional associations alike. Do now: Open with one brief story before the formal thank-yous. Make it topical, uplifting, and tied to the audience's shared experience. Why are stories more memorable than facts alone? Stories make information stick because they turn abstract ideas into human experience. People remember scenes, not just statements. Data matters, especially in B2B presentations, board reports, and strategy sessions. But raw information by itself is hard to retain. A story wraps facts inside context, tension, and emotion, which makes the message easier to remember. This is true whether you are presenting quarterly results, leadership lessons, or customer insights. Research in communication and learning has long shown that narrative improves recall because the brain processes connected events more easily than disconnected numbers. In practical terms, if you want people to remember a KPI, a market shift, or a lesson from failure, embed it in a story. In Japan, where relationship context and credibility carry enormous weight, that narrative framing can be particularly powerful in executive communication. Do now: For every important fact in your talk, ask: what story helps this point land and stay remembered? What makes a presentation story vivid and effective? A strong story becomes vivid when the audience can see it. Specific people, place, season, and timing help listeners step into the scene with you. Vagueness weakens impact. Precision builds mental pictures. Instead of saying, "I met a client once," say, "Two years before Covid, on a muggy Tokyo summer day, I walked into a wood-panelled boardroom in Otemachi to meet the new president." That one line carries atmosphere, geography, business context, and emotion. It gives the audience breadcrumbs they can follow. Recognisable people also help. If listeners know the person, company, district, or era, they visualise it faster. This technique works across cultures, but it is especially useful in high-context business environments such as Japan and much of Asia-Pacific, where setting and relationship clues matter. Great presenters do not dump details everywhere; they select details that create a picture. Do now: Add concrete story markers: who was there, where it happened, what season it was, and why that moment mattered. How many stories should you use in a presentation? Use enough stories to support the message, but not so many that they crowd out the point. The length of the presentation determines the number. A five-minute commencement speech may only need two stories: a strong opening anecdote and one more meaningful example. A 40-minute business presentation has room for more, especially if you are covering multiple themes such as leadership, sales, teamwork, or change. The mistake is not only using too few stories; it is using stories with no purpose. Every story should earn its place by illustrating a lesson, reinforcing a decision, or moving the audience emotionally toward your conclusion. In large corporations, consultants often overload decks with charts. In smaller firms, speakers sometimes rely too heavily on improvisation. The best balance sits in the middle: a clear structure with carefully chosen stories that illuminate the main argument. Do now: Match story count to speaking time. Keep short talks tight and longer talks disciplined. What should leaders, speakers, and salespeople do to avoid boring presentations? They should stop being predictable and start being intentional. A memorable presentation begins with audience psychology, not speaker habit. Before your next talk, identify what the audience is likely expecting and then avoid giving them the most boring version of it. That does not mean being theatrical for the sake of it. It means being thoughtful. Choose a relatable opening, shape the message around shared experiences, and make your key points easier to recall through stories. Whether you are a university speaker, a sales leader, an entrepreneur, or a corporate executive, your role is not just to deliver information. Your role is to make the message live in the minds of the listeners. In 2025 and beyond, with AI-generated content flooding every channel, the human advantage is not more words. It is more resonance, specificity, and presence. Do now: Rewrite your opening tonight. Replace generic gratitude with a short story your audience will actually remember. Conclusion Predictable presentations are easy to give and easy to forget. Strong presentations are different. They respect the audience's time, seize attention early, and use stories to make ideas memorable. The opening matters most because it sets the tone for everything that follows. If you begin with a cliché, you create distance. If you begin with a vivid, relevant human moment, you create connection. That is the real presentation edge. Not more polish. Not more jargon. Not more slides. Better choices about how to start, how to frame, and how to make the audience see what you see. Next steps for leaders and presenters Rewrite your first 30 seconds so they trigger curiosity. Turn your most important message into a story with place, time, and people. Cut any opening line that sounds ceremonial but adds no value. Match the number of stories to the time available. Rehearse for impact, not just accuracy. FAQs How do I start a presentation without sounding boring? Start with a short story, surprising observation, or shared moment instead of a formal thank-you list. The goal is to create attention first and then move into acknowledgements naturally. Are thank-yous always bad in a speech? No, but they are usually bad as an opening. Appreciation matters, yet it works better after you have already engaged the audience. Do stories work in technical or business presentations? Yes, stories are often the best vehicle for technical or commercial points. They help audiences remember data, decisions, and lessons by giving the information context. How detailed should a story be in a presentation? Detailed enough to create a vivid image, but not so detailed that it drags. A few precise markers such as time, place, and person are usually enough. Can this approach work in Japan as well as Western markets? Yes, and it can be especially effective in Japan when the story respects context, relationships, and audience expectations. The principle is universal, even if delivery style varies by market.

I was recently asked to be interviewed by a University senior for a project he was doing on communication in business.  I don't know if I was a good choice.  After I left High School, I was working for an insurance company during the day and joined then dropped out of a night course on Communication at the Queensland University of Technology. The "communication" study idea sounded great, but what I found was the course was very theoretical and not what I was expecting.  Subsequently, I have become a disciple of content marketing, which basically means you see your company as a publishing firm, in addition to your main thrust of your business.  We push out copious quantities of information on speciality topics for free, to signal to potential buyers, that we are experts in these areas.  In that sense, I agreed to the interview, because I have released 4 books, 1480 podcasts and have written thousands of blogs, so I thought maybe I qualify.   In the course of our interview, he mentioned that he was going to give the commencement speech at the graduation ceremony later this year.  We have all seen these types of affairs.  The student selected to give the talk, begins by thanking the University, the Dean of the Faculty, the worthy Professors and teaching staff and congratulates all of the fellow graduates.  Boring and predictable.    As we know, the opening of our talk has to be a gripper.  It has to keep the audience away from their mobile phones and instead transfixed on us.  Anything which smacks of clique, predictability, platitudes or bromides will dissipate the attention on us.  "I would like to thank the university…" is a death knell of an opening, so let's avoid that one.  In business it is the same thing.  "I would like to thank the Chamber of Commerce…", is another dud opening.   This senior had been at that institution for four years, so he will be brimming with experiences, memories, events accumulated during that time.  We have been in our companies for many years, working away in our industries, so we have accumulated tons of stories.  Our stories are a good place to start.  We need to look at who is in our audience and divine an occurrence which will be relatable for the listeners, something topical, pertinent and uplifting.  It should be uplifting.  We don't want some downer memory being trotted out for such a festive occasion.   There should be a series of stories in this talk.  The first one has to be short though.  We are going to get to all the usual words of appreciation to everyone, but before that we can grab attention with a quick story.  If we had some defining moment at the university, something which was profound and which shows the institution, the professors or the students in a shining light, that would be a good choice.  If it is a business talk then we can look for something about this association or the hosts organisation we can say nice things about.   After we deliver this little episode, we get to the ordained appreciation piece and then we should look for other stories we can tell in the time remaining, to make a point about the experience we have collectively had. In a five minute commencement speech, there will be time for maybe one more story, but in a forty minute business talk, there is plenty of scope.  Anytime we have data we wish to impart, then carefully bundling that up inside a story is bound to get it remembered, rather than just trying to deliver the information by itself.   Stories work better when they have some key elements included in the retelling.  Placing people the audience knows in the story is very powerful.  It could be a contemporary figure or a historical figure, it doesn't matter, because we can easily see them in our mind's eye and that is what we want.  We need to include the season, the location and the timing.  Again, we are laying breadcrumbs for our audience, to get them to the same visual image and join us inside our story. For example, "Two years ago prior to Covid, on a muggy Tokyo summer day, I made my way to the gorgeous wood panelled Boardroom of our client in Otemachi, to meet Mr. Tanaka the new President".   We know how muggy Tokyo is in the summer, we remember life before Covid, we know there are a lot of expensive high rise office buildings in Otemachi, we can see the luxurious Boardroom scene and may we even know this President Tanaka through the media or through industry contacts.  We are in that room.    When we engage our audience to that extent then we are able to get our key messages across more easily.  Let's avoid being predictable and instead seek out openings and stories which will keep our audience rivetted to us and what we are saying.

You know what the Government should do with this recommendation from a parliamentary select committee to ban under-16s from using social media? Ignore it. With the Government thinking about copying Australia's ban, a select committee has looked into it and it's come back with a whole lot of recommendations relating to the online world - including a recommendation that we go ahead with a ban. The committee says: “Harm to young New Zealanders from online platforms is severe and requires urgent responses.” The key word there is “harm” and, as the ACT Party is saying today, banning under-16s from social media won't fix that. The Greens are opposed to the idea too - with both parties saying it could just lead to kids using what they're calling “fringe websites”, instead. So the harm will still be there and the kids will keep finding it, whether-or-not there's a social media ban. As to why I'm against this idea. Number One: the horse has already bolted. Number Two: the horse is going to keep on bolting. Because that's what happens in the online world and the technology world. If politicians think banning kids under-16 from Tik Tok and Insta and YouTube is the answer, they're dreaming. What's more, if we're totally honest with ourselves, a social media ban would just let parents off the hook. Those parents at the supermarket, pushing their kids around in the trolley, and the kids all staring at screens - should the government be coming to their rescue because they either can't be bothered or are too weak to say no? Of course not. Experts from Queensland University think banning under-16s from social media is a pipedream. They say there is insufficient evidence to show social media is responsible for the increase in youth mental health problems. They say some marginalised young people actually benefit from social media. Example: I remember hearing someone who works with young members of the rainbow community saying that social media can be really valuable for the kids he works with. These researchers in Australia also say there is a lack of clarity as to what social media actually is. Nevertheless, a bunch of politicians who are already way behind the 8 ball on this think a social media ban for under-16s is the way to go.

Volunteering in prisons shaped her research agenda. Each woman's story is unique; generalizations are misleading. Sentencing length varies significantly across countries. Hope and identity are influenced by the length of sentences. Many women in prison face abandonment from families over time. Feminist criminology focuses on understanding women's pathways to crime. Media portrayal often sensationalizes female offenders. Kathryn's podcast provides a platform for women's voices. Maintaining positivity comes from gratitude and learning from women.     Sound Bites "I'm fascinated about women and crime." "Not all women in prison are victims."

Work does not happen in a vacuum. It happens in spaces that shape how we feel, think, connect, and grow.In this episode, Andrew sits down with Jenna Mikus to explore what it means to design for human flourishing. Jenna brings a rare interdisciplinary lens that bridges architecture, wellbeing science, organizational design, and philosophy. Together, they unpack the concept of eudaimonic design and what it looks like in practice, from homes and workplaces to educational and community environments.Key TakeawaysMeaningful work depends on the environments that surround us, including physical, organizational, and social conditions.Eudaimonic design blends external structure with personal agency, recognizing that flourishing emerges through interaction, not control.Inclusive design strengthens wellbeing for everyone by offering choice, flexibility, and dignity across diverse needs and life stages.Sensory experience, awe, and delight play an underappreciated role in motivation, creativity, and connection at work.Designing for flourishing requires interdisciplinary thinking and a willingness to sit with complexity and uncertainty.Why This Episode MattersAs organizations rethink work, space, and culture in a post-pandemic world, this conversation offers a deeper foundation for those decisions. Rather than asking how to bring people back or drive performance, we should consider what conditions help people become their best selves.This episode expands the meaning of meaningful work by showing how design, wellbeing, and purpose intersect in everyday environments.About Our GuestJenna Mikus is a strategic advisor and researcher who brings together architectural science and wellbeing science to shape environments that support human flourishing.She is the Managing Partner of Eudae Group, where she guides organizations in designing spaces and experiences that elevate health, belonging, creativity, and innovation.

Washington has just reversed course again. It is now allowing Nvidia to sell its advanced H200 AI chips to China, with a hefty 25% revenue cut flowing straight to the U.S. government. Is this a strategic concession, a commercial calculation, or the start of a new conditional export model? Will Chinese tech giants rush to buy the H200? Can Washington achieve its intended goals with the policy shift? And will this prompt other governments or companies to reconsider their own restrictions on tech exports to China? Host Tu Yun joins Andy Mok, a professor of Beijing Foreign Studies University and a senior research fellow at the Center for China and Globalization, Dr. Zhou Mi, the Deputy Director of the Institute of American and Oceania Study, Chinese Academy of International Trade and Economic Cooperation, and Dr. Warwick Powell, an adjunct professor of the Queensland University of Technology for a chat.

China is lodging serious protests with Japan over Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's remarks on the Taiwan question. Over the past two weeks, the remarks describing a Taiwan contingency as a survival-threatening situation for Japan have triggered strong outrage and condemnation from China and beyond. In the words of Russia's foreign ministry, Japan has not yet acknowledged its mistakes 80 years after World War II. What is fundamentally erroneous and dangerous regarding Takaichi's remarks? Host Ding Heng is joined by Professor Chen Yun from Fudan University's School of International Relations & Public Affairs; Warwick Powell, Adjunct Professor at Queensland University of Technology; Sultan Hali, a China observer and retired air force officer in Pakistan.

Tesla is accelerating its shift away from components made in China. It's pushing suppliers to eliminate China-made auto parts for cars built in the United States within the next year or two. Is this strategy due to political pressure from Washington, or is it preparation for a more aggressive trade environment? Is the change even possible? How could this reshape Tesla's business in China, where the company has long enjoyed policy support and unmatched efficiency? And how may this push for de-Sinicization affect U.S. automakers' global edge? Host TU Yun joins Yan Liang, Professor of Economics, Willamette University, Warwick Powell, Adjunct Professor, Queensland University of Technology, and Joseph Siracusa, Professor of Global Futures, Curtin University for a closer look.

In this episode of SpaceTime, we uncover the latest revelations in astrophysics, including the intriguing prospect of supermassive dark stars, Australia's ambitious lunar rover mission, and fresh insights into the formation of our solar system.Supermassive Dark Stars: A New Cosmic DiscoveryAstronomers have identified potential candidates for a new type of star in the early universe, known as supermassive dark stars. Recent observations from the Webb Space Telescope suggest that these stars, primarily composed of hydrogen and helium, are supported against gravitational collapse by dark matter. This episode delves into how these dark stars could help explain the existence of supermassive black holes and the unexpectedly bright distant galaxies observed by Webb. With the possibility of a smoking gun signature in their spectra, the implications of this discovery could reshape our understanding of dark matter and stellar evolution.Australia's Lunar Rover Mission: A Step Towards the MoonWork is underway on Australia's first lunar rover, set to launch as part of NASA's Artemis programme. This 20-kilogram robotic vehicle, developed by the Queensland University of Technology, will explore lunar geology and contribute to establishing a sustainable human presence on the Moon. The episode covers the rover's design, mission objectives, and the collaborative efforts between Australian institutions and NASA to advance lunar exploration.Piecing Together the Early Solar SystemNew research published in Science Advances reveals that the early solar system was more chaotic than previously thought, with planets forming from recycled fragments of shattered bodies rather than pristine materials. This episode discusses the violent origins of our solar system and how high-energy collisions influenced the development of planetary cores, ultimately shaping the celestial bodies we know today.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesJournal of Physical Review Lettershttps://journals.aps.org/prl/Science Advanceshttps://www.science.org/journal/sciadvBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-your-guide-to-space-astronomy--2458531/support.Supermassive Dark Stars: A New Cosmic DiscoveryAustralia's Lunar Rover Mission: A Step Towards the MoonPiecing Together the Early Solar System(00:00) The potential discovery of supermassive dark stars(10:15) Australia's new lunar rover mission details(18:45) New findings on the chaotic origins of the solar system(25:30) Skywatch for October: Meteor showers and celestial highlights
