But it is even more exciting to get to chat with someone I do know a little better and explore subjects that we never have in real life. Amanda was one of the most supportive non-comics on the comedy scene when I was starting out in San Diego. Our paths crossed briefly before I headed to the UK but her now husband was one of my comedy buddies and she was often a face in the crowd and on the sidelines I was always happy to see. I have followed her career over time and we were finally able to connect. She is impressive, she is compassionate and she is someone I know I will keep learning from.

Got a story to tell? An innovative idea to share? Fill out our guest nomination form, and let's chat!Host Jaime Hunt speaks with Shaun Carver, the Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer of the International House at the University of California, Berkeley, about the challenges, opportunities, and strategies for better supporting international students in higher education. The discussion sheds light on the cultural and economic benefits international students bring, the need to foster inclusivity and free speech, and how universities can adapt to societal and political changes to create a more welcoming environment.Key TakeawaysInternational students enrich learning environments: They bring unique perspectives that foster cultural understanding and prepare students for a globalized workforce.Political rhetoric impacts enrollment: Even without formal policy changes, unwelcoming political climates can deter international students from applying.Free speech and inclusivity matter: Universities should ensure students feel safe expressing differing viewpoints and engaging in civil discourse.Diverse support systems are essential: Institutions must focus on cultural exposure, community-building, and access to essential services for international students.A growth mindset fosters innovation: Encouraging students to step outside their comfort zones promotes intellectual curiosity and global leadership skills.Why Are International Students Important to Higher Education?International students bring a wealth of diversity to higher education, enriching campus communities with their perspectives, experiences, and cultural backgrounds. Shaun Carver emphasizes their vital role in fostering a global learning environment that prepares students for interconnected, multicultural workplaces.Beyond academics, international students significantly contribute to local economies. From tuition payments to housing and daily living expenses, their economic impact extends beyond campus boundaries. Shaun also highlights how many international students go on to lead innovative startups and global companies, particularly in Silicon Valley, underscoring the long-term benefits of their presence in the U.S.Despite these benefits, political rhetoric and visa uncertainties can deter international students, forcing institutions to miss out on their transformative contributions. Universities must address these concerns proactively to remain competitive on the global stage.How Can Universities Create Welcoming Environments?Creating an inclusive and supportive environment for international students requires deliberate effort. Shaun outlines three key strategies:1. Cultivating Free SpeechUniversities should encourage environments where all students feel comfortable expressing their viewpoints. At the International House at the University of California, Berkeley, 80% of residents feel free to share minority views without fear of judgment, serving as a model for fostering civil discourse on campus.2. Building CommunityPrograms like the International House's weekly diversity and coffee hour allow students to share their cultures through food, music, and storytelling. These events not only build a sense of belonging but also foster cross-cultural understanding among students from different backgrounds.3. Providing Practical SupportWhile universities may not handle visa or employment processes directly, they can offer workshops, mentorship programs, and community events to help international students navigate their new environment. Ensuring that students feel supported in both practical and personal aspects is key to their success.What Challenges Do International Students Face?International students often face unique obstacles, including navigating visa regulations, overcoming cultural barriers, and coping with homesickness. Shaun recounts stories of students who, despite immense financial and emotional pressures, strive to succeed in the U.S. education system.For many, even basic needs like food can become a challenge. Shaun shares how implementing inclusive dining options at the International House, like dishes from various global cuisines, helps students feel more at home. These small yet impactful gestures can make a significant difference in a student's overall experience.Additionally, divisive campus climates can make international students feel unwelcome. Institutions must work to ensure their campuses are places where students of all backgrounds feel safe, valued, and supported.What Can Universities Learn from the International House?For over a century, the International House has been a leader in creating inclusive, multicultural communities. Its model of hyper-diversity—housing students from over 80 nationalities under one roof—offers a blueprint for fostering cross-cultural connections. Shaun attributes the success of the International House to:Encouraging Growth: Students are challenged to step out of their comfort zones and engage with others who have vastly different experiences and viewpoints.Promoting Civil Discourse: Creating spaces where students feel free to express their beliefs fosters open-mindedness and intellectual humility.Sharing Best Practices: By collaborating with other universities, the International House seeks to expand its model to campuses worldwide, addressing the growing need for inclusive and globalized educational environments.Looking Ahead: The Role of International Students in a Globalized WorldAs higher education continues to globalize, institutions must actively work to support international students. Shaun emphasizes the need for universities to rebrand themselves as inclusive and welcoming spaces. Beyond rhetoric, this requires actionable steps to build communities where diverse viewpoints thrive.International students not only enrich the institutions they attend but also contribute to society and the global workforce in profound ways. Their courage and resilience in pursuing education abroad inspire us all, and their success benefits everyone.Guest Name: Shaun Carver, Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer of the International House at University of California BerkleyGuest Social: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shauncarverGuest Bio: Shaun Carver is currently Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer of the International House at University of California Berkeley and has been in the role since August 2020.

In this episode we are talking to Michel Maréchal about honesty from an economist's perspective. He shares with us two studies he has conducted on honesty: Firstly, we talk about a mega-study in which Michel and his colleagues have tested in more than 300 cities around the globe with more than 17000 wallets whether people would rather return lost wallets if there were a higher or lower amount of money in them. Secondly, he shares a lab experiment in which he studied whether humans are more honest when interacting with other humans versus interacting with machines. Both studies give an understanding on human's behaviour when being incentivized to being dishonest. Michel Maréchal is a Visiting Professor of Economics at the Rady School of Management, UC San Diego and Professor of Economics at the Department of Economics from the University of Zürich. His research is interdisciplinary and lies at the intersections of economics, social psychology, criminology, political science and biology. Here you can find Michel's papers on civic honesty and honesty in the digital age. You can also check out his website for other research topics he is currently working on.

On this episode, what cybersecurity professionals need to understand about how social signaling and incentives really work. Today's episode features a conversation with Uri Gneezy. In the field of cybersecurity, we are very interested in identifying proactive and positive ways to encourage the behavior we want. That's where Uri comes in. Uri is a well-known behavioral economist and professor of economics and strategy in the Rady School of Management at the University of California at San Diego. Most of us recognize that many of our behaviors, beliefs, and values are caught rather than taught. So, if you are interested in developing a positive security culture in your workplace, then it's important to understand the dynamics of how people both receive and signal their security-related beliefs and values so that associated behaviors become a natural result. Listen in as Perry sits down with Uri to discuss key findings from Uri's new book, Mixed Signals: How Incentives Really Work. This is a fascinating deep dive into Uri's research that has immediate applicability for anyone needing to design programs that work with, rather than against, human nature.

Dr Stephanie Venn-Watson and. husband physician Dr Eric Venn-Watson are one hell of a dynamic duo out to save the planet one person at a time and they started out by helping dolphins live longer. What started as a surprising discovery to protect dolphins' health has become a growing movement to restore our body's C15:0 levels, support our long-term health, and perhaps even slow aging. The groundbreaking discoveries around C15:0's healthy aging benefits have been featured as a TEDx talk, a Fast Company World Changing Idea, and now––a shout out in The New York Times Science section! Amazing! Wait - what is C15:0? Well in this episode we dive into just that very topic. C15:0 (aka pentadecanoic acid) is a healthy, odd-chain saturated fatty acid naturally found in whole fat dairy, as well as some fish and plants. C15:0 is the first essential fatty acid to be discovered since omega-3, which was over 90 years ago. Because pure C15:0 has been shown to have 3x the cellular benefits of the highest performing omega-3, C15:0 is emerging as the essential, essential fatty acid. Numerous peer-reviewed studies have shown that people with higher C15:0 levels have better metabolic, heart, immune and liver health. Unfortunately, our C15:0 levels naturally decline as we age. But I thought fats were bad? Society spent a generation avoiding fat. But what does the science say? Join us in. this episode to find out why your cells will age slower with Fatty15.

Join your host Tobias Sturesson and his guest, Uri Gneezy, on this insightful episode of the Leading Transformational Change podcast. In this conversation, Uri discusses his work on when and why incentives in an organization can backfire and when traditional economic theories fail to explain real human behavior. Uri Gneezy is professor of economics and strategic management at the Rady School of Management, UC San Diego. As a researcher, Gneezy's focus is on putting behavioral economics to work in the real world, where theory can meet application. Topics include incentives-based interventions to increase good habits and decrease bad ones, Pay-What-You-Want pricing, and the detrimental effects of small and large incentives. In addition to the traditional laboratory and field studies, he is working with several firms, conducting experiments in which they are using basic findings from behavioral economics to help companies achieve their traditional goals in non-traditional ways. He is the co-author of the bestseller, The Why Axis. His forthcoming book, Mixed Signals releases on March 31 2023. Duration: 52:51

Uma Karmarkar joins Tim to talk about neuromarketing. It's a leading-edge way scientists have developed to get inside your head to understand your attitudes, preferences and perhaps future behavior when it comes to marketing to you. Uma is an assistant professor of marketing at the University of California at San Diego. Her work takes a closer look at the things that consciously and unconsciously influence how people make decisions. More deeply, she studies how people make buying decisions when they don't have all of the information or when bias may come to play. https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/shapingopinion/Neuromarketing_auphonic.mp3 Not long ago, I read an article in Harvard Business Review about something I hadn't really heard of before. But it sounded interesting. It's called Neuromarketing. The term alone caught my attention. “Neuro” or the nervous system, combined with marketing. So, what is it? According to writer Ben Harrell, “The field of neuromarketing – sometimes known as consumer neuroscience – studies the brain to predict and potentially even manipulate consumer behavior and decision-making.” Neuromarketing is about measuring all of the physiological signals we send about how we feel. Remember the saying, “Never let them see you sweat?” When people see you in a stressful situation, they know you're nervous, perhaps unsure of yourself, if they see you sweating. Your perspiration is a physiological sign that you're nervous and worried, even if your words and facial expression are under control. When people see that, they know better. Neuromarketing takes this idea to an unbelievable level. It measures indicators well beyond the obvious ones we can see with our naked eyes. Neuromarketing research helps organizations and companies learn more about your motivations, preferences, the decisions you make or do not make. And all of this can help them develop products and services. We're not just talking about selling cars or insurance. Neuromarketing can be used to get you to use software, apps and digital platforms. It can be used to try to sway your opinions through ad campaigns, marketing campaigns, political campaigns, activist issues campaigns, and so much more. In short, neuromarketing helps researchers get inside your head to more effectively, pardon the pun, shape your opinions and attitudes.

Her research examines the factors that consciously and unconsciously influence how people make decisions, and the ensuing implications for marketplace practices. In particular, she looks at how people use their (incomplete) information when they are faced with uncertain decisions or unfamiliar options, and the biases that can emerge from these situations. Her work also explores the ways in which companies' decisions about how and when to offer information can frame consumers' expectations and influence their purchase behavior. This research takes an interdisciplinary approach, combining marketing, behavioral economics, neuroscience and psychology. Her work aims to enable firms to communicate better with their customers, and improving consumer confidence and satisfaction with the decision process. Before joining the Rady School, Karmarkar was an Assistant Professor in the Marketing Unit of the Harvard Business School, and spent a year as a visiting professor at the Haas School of Business at U.C. Berkeley. Karmarkar was named a Marketing Science Institute Young Scholar in 2017. She has received research grants from the National Institutes of Health, and from the Department of Defense. Karmarkar earned a Ph.D.

Do headphones make a difference in messaging? Are headphones more intimate? Can you easily get it out of your head?"Can't Get It Out of My Head," ELO's Jeff LynneListening to podcasts on headphones increases ‘perceived intimacy' with host, research findsExperiments found a voice coming from ‘inside our heads' can be twice as persuasive as one coming from a speaker.Researchers from UC San Diego's Rady School, UCLA, and UC Berkeley have found that when people listen to auditory messages – like podcasts, audiobooks, and radio news – via headphones, they feel more empathic and persuadable than when listening to those same messages through speakers.People who listened to the podcast via headphones were twice as likely to agree to write a nomination (30%) as those who listened via speakers (14%).Researchers found headphones are a superconductor for emotional connection due to the phenomenon of “in-head localization”. Because headphones make it sound as though the voices are coming from inside your head, they “trigger a feeling of greater closeness to the person speaking to you”, explains On Amir, co-author of the study, which is forthcoming in the journal Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes.What are the implications for us as business podcasters, leaders, or influencers? Research demonstrates that many listeners are moving, driving, walking, or somehow otherwise distracted while listening; however, 50% of listeners are at home while enjoying your podcast. We could encourage our listeners to tune in when relaxed, home, or suggest listening with headphones. We want to be more effective as experts, leaders, and influencers.

PureWater SD project - San Diego launching Pure Water, largest infrastructure project in city's history It's formally been launched 3 years ago sewage recycling system that will boost local water independence Multi Billion Dollar Project named: Pure Water Slowing it down Some Nimby Some Toilet to Tap That has navigated through a number of lawsuits This story might be a little misleading Broke ground 3 years ago Stalling at a construction of a few critical components The 3 essential pieces: Sewage purification plant in Miramar A pipeline through Clairemont supplying the plant Pump station in Morena At completion of the first phase in 2025 34 million gallons of potable water / day Another 53 million gallons come online in 2035 This project will drop imported water from 85% to less than 50% Prior to this project, only 8% of sewage had been recycled into irrigation water What are the steps of the water purification? Ozonization: Ozone gas destroys microorganisms, then consumers and converted them into O2 helpful bacteria thrive in O2 environment Consuming 30-50% anything that was or is living Biological activated filters, Steps: Membrane filtration Particles, viruses, bacteria Only salt, water and other very small molecules can pass through 300 times narrower than a human hair pulling out additional materials 50k smaller than smallest bacteria Reverse osmosis, Ultraviolet Disinfection Light (similar to extremely concentrated sunlight) Destroys DNA of any microbes left Other contaminants This results in water that meets or exceeds standards But we need to factor in a rise in price This is slightly more expensive at current rates Orange County produces 70 million gallons of purified water per day and is in the process of expanding production to 100 million gallons per day.
