The cannabis industry convinced the world it had a medicine before the science caught up. Now the science is here, and almost no one is paying attention. CBD is not a panacea. When Charlotte's Web opened hearts and minds, the messaging of what it could do ran years ahead of what the data could actually support. That gap created a backlash the legitimate medical thesis didn't deserve. What's left on the other side of the green rush is a near-complete forgetting of the reason this industry started in the first place. The medicine. Now the infrastructure to prove it is finally in place. Standardized genetics. Reproducible extraction. Full compound characterization. An FDA botanical drug pathway that has existed since 2016 that most investors have never heard of. Organic medicine versus synthetic single-molecule will be a real choice at the pharmacy counter sooner than most people expect. The foundational work is already here.

“Shortening scientific loops accelerates discovery”Dr. Satrajit Ghosh is a senior research scientist at the McGovern Institute for Brain Research at MIT and an assistant professor at Harvard Medical School. He has helped advance neuroinformatics, open science, and reproducible neuroimaging through both his research and the development of widely used community tools. His work spans machine learning for neuroimaging, the neural mechanisms of speech, and the use of speech features to inform psychiatric diagnosis and treatment. He earned his bachelor's degree with honors in computer science from the National University of Singapore and his PhD in cognitive and neural systems from Boston University. He has contributed to influential projects including Nipype, fMRIPrep, and NeuroVault. More recently, he has focused on how shared scientific infrastructure can connect domains, modalities, and scales across neuroscience and help address the field's growing fragmentation.In this episode, Peter and Satrajit discuss the origins of tools like Nipype and the broader push for reproducible neuroimaging, showing how practical research challenges can inspire infrastructure that benefits the entire field. They also explore functional gradients in the brain and cerebellum, the promise of speech as a scalable biomarker for mental health, and the cautious role AI may play in diagnosis and scientific discovery. A major theme in their conversation is the fragmentation in neuroscience, with knowledge often siloed across methods, scales, and communities. Ghosh argues for a more intelligent scientific infrastructure that connects data, tools, theory, and expertise. He closes with advice to young scientists: experiment often, make mistakes, and learn by discovering where systems fail.We hope you enjoy this episode!Chapters00:00 Introduction to Satra Ghosh and His Work06:46 The Intersection of Control Theory and Speech11:18 Satra's Academic Journey into Neuroscience20:58 Neuroinformatics and Tool Development34:42 Individual Differences in Brain Structure39:21 Developing tools to augment Experimental Design44:25 Building an Intelligent Infrastructure for Neuroscience58:45 The Role of Theory in Neuroscience01:00:26 Access to Scientific Research Expediting Progress01:06:40 Experience Inherent to Learning 01:09:33 Mapping the Brain's Functional Gradient01:16:31 AI and Speech Analysis in Mental Health01:29:31 Advice, Fail More, Learn MoreWorks mentioned:34:59 - Marek, S. et al.

Teams work across different operating systems, chip architectures, and cloud environments, each with its own dependency quirks and version mismatches. Ensuring that code runs reproducibly across these environments has become a major challenge that's made even harder by growing concerns around software supply chain security. Nix is a powerful open-source package manager that builds software in controlled, declarative environments where dependencies are explicitly defined and reproducible. Its functional approach has made it a gold standard for reproducible builds, but it can also be difficult to learn and adopt.

In this episode of Data Skeptic's Recommender Systems series, host Kyle Polich explores DataRec, a new Python library designed to bring reproducibility and standardization to recommender systems research. Guest Alberto Carlo Mario Mancino, a postdoc researcher from Politecnico di Bari, Italy, discusses the challenges of dataset management in recommendation research—from version control issues to preprocessing inconsistencies—and how DataRec provides automated downloads, checksum verification, and standardized filtering strategies for popular datasets like MovieLens, Last.fm, and Amazon reviews.  The conversation covers Alberto's research journey through knowledge graphs, graph-based recommenders, privacy considerations, and recommendation novelty. He explains why small modifications in datasets can significantly impact research outcomes, the importance of offline evaluation, and DataRec's vision as a lightweight library that integrates with existing frameworks rather than replacing them. Whether you're benchmarking new algorithms or exploring recommendation techniques, this episode offers practical insights into one of the most critical yet overlooked aspects of reproducible ML research.

Above All - You were never meant to be a spiritual dead end. In Part 3 of our Last Words series, Lead Pastor Steve Garcia unpacks the third MARC of a disciple: Reproducible—the call to invest in others the same way Jesus invested in His disciples. This is more than just knowing about Jesus; it's about showing Him, growing others in Him, and empowering them to go live for Him. If you've received from Jesus, it's time to pass it on. Someone is watching your example. Someone needs your encouragement. Someone's ready for you to hand them the keys.

In this episode, I sit down with two early-career researchers and open science advocates: Harini Lakshmi Narayanan, a postdoctoral researcher in cancer diagnostics at University Hospital Zurich, and Madita Determann, a postdoc studying liver-related diseases who began her career as a surgical assistant in Germany.Both are leaders in OILS (Open Innovation in Life Sciences), a volunteer-run organization that promotes transparency, reproducibility, and collaboration in scientific research. They share how navigating risky career conversations—like negotiating time for unpaid passion projects or walking away from stable jobs to pursue higher education—helped them step into more aligned, impactful roles.We explore what open science really means (spoiler: it's not yet the default), why reproducible research matters for public health and innovation, and how community-driven efforts like OILS are equipping early-career scientists with tools, confidence, and global connections.Key takeaways for ambitious women in STEM and leadership:Self-advocacy is a service—especially when it aligns you with purpose-driven work.“Brazen audacity” is sometimes necessary (and underrated).Open, inclusive spaces fuel innovation—and your voice matters in shaping them.Bonus: Harini and Madita also reveal their favorite hiking spots in the Swiss Alps.

In this episode of Elixir Wizards, Dan Ivovich and Charles Suggs sit down with Norbert “NobbZ” Melzer to discuss how Nix enables reproducible builds, consistent development environments, and reliable deployments for Elixir projects. Norbert shares his journey from Ruby to Elixir, contrasts Nix with NixOS, and walks us through flakes, nix-shell workflows, sandboxed builds, and rollback capabilities. Along the way, we cover real-world tips for managing Hex authentication, integrating Nix into CI/CD, wrapping Mix releases in Docker, and avoiding common pitfalls, such as flake performance traps. Whether you're spinning up your first dev shell or rolling out a production release on NixOS, you'll come away with a clear, gradual adoption path and pointers to the community mentors and resources that can help you succeed. Key topics discussed in this episode: Reproducible, sandboxed builds vs. traditional package managers Nix flakes for locked dependency graphs and version pinning nix-shell: creating consistent development environments across teams Rollback and immutable deployment strategies with Nix/NixOS Integrating Nix with the Elixir toolchain: Hex, Mix, and CI/CD pipelines Flakes vs. standard shells: when and how to transition Handling private Hex repositories and authentication in Nix Cross-platform support (macOS/Darwin, Linux variants) Channels, overlays, and overrides for customizing builds Dockerizing Elixir releases using Nix-based images Home Manager for personal environment configuration Security patching workflows in a Nix-managed infrastructure Common pitfalls: flake performance, sandbox workarounds, and symlink behavior Community resources and the importance of human mentorship Links mentioned: https://jobrad-loop.com/ https://nixos.org/ https://nix.dev/ https://nix.dev/manual/nix/2.18/command-ref/nix-shell https://github.com/nix-darwin/nix-darwin https://asdf-vm.com/ https://go.dev/ https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/redhatenterpriselinux/8/html/packaginganddistributingsoftware/introduction-to-rpm_packaging-and-distributing-software Nix Flake templates for Elixir https://github.com/jurraca/elixir-templates https://www.docker.com/ https://www.sudo.ws/ https://ubuntu.com/ https://archlinux.org/ Nobbz's blog https://blog.nobbz.dev/blog/ https://ayats.org/blog/nix-workflow @nobbz.dev on BlueSky @NobbZ1981 on Twitter https://www.linkedin.com/in/norbert-melzer/ https://youtu.be/HbtbdLolHeM?si=6M7fulTQZmuWGGCM (talk on CodeBEAM)

Summary In this episode of the Stoke It Up podcast, Alan Stoddard and Kenneth Priest discuss the concept of minimal leadership within the church context. They explore the importance of defining leadership, the need for reproducible leaders, and the role of humility in leadership selection. The conversation emphasizes the uniqueness of each church and the necessity of effective communication and training to foster a culture of leadership. They also share personal experiences and resources for developing leadership within the church. Takeaways Leadership is a process of influencing people. Every church has unique needs for leadership. Reproducible leadership is essential for growth. Humility is a key trait for leaders. Effective communication requires presence and time. Training the trainer is crucial for leadership development. Mistakes in leadership selection can have lasting impacts. Creating a culture of leadership is vital for church health. Monthly meetings with leaders are necessary for accountability. Resources are available for ongoing leadership development. Sound Bites "Training the trainer is essential." "You have to be able to reproduce." "Communication requires presence."

Listen to this interview of Christoph Treude, Open Science Editor at the Journal of Systems and Software, and also Associate Professor of Computer Science, Singapore Management University, Singapore. Christoph Treude : "One good heuristic for deciding whether the research is reproducible is this: Have the authors given others a fair chance at reproducing the results? Because, for me now, particularly in my role as Open Science Editor, I feel that the papers I push back on are the ones where the authors don't even given others a chance to reproduce the results. So, I am not saying that reproducibility has to happen at the push of a button. Of course that would be great. But I also acknowledge that the incentives we have in place now in research publishing and in the academic career do not really favor that approach. On the other hand, if researchers aren't even being given a chance at reproducing something because the data simply aren't available or the algorithm isn't available or there's absolutely no documentation — well then, that is just no good, and it is the kind of scenario where I, as Open Science Editor, will push back on the paper."

There has been a lot of commentary from scholars and journalists as to the meaning of Donald Trump's three appointments to the United States Supreme Court – with regards to changes in jurisprudence, increased separation of the Court from political processes that legitimate it. Drs. Kirsten Widner and Anna Gunderson have done something a little different using tools from political science.  Their new book, The Haves and Have-Nots in Supreme Court Representation and Participation, 2016 to 2021 (Cambridge UP 2024), examines how the changing composition of the US Supreme Court affects who participates in advocacy before the Court. Who thinks to bring a case to the Supreme Court and has that changed since three new justices were appointed during the presidency of Donald Trump? Their book argues that Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett have changed the behavior of both litigants (people bringing cases) and amicus curiae (groups that write briefs in support of either side). Their study demonstrates that the growing conservatism of the Court radically reshaped the incentives of interested parties and, as a result, their participation in litigation activity. These changes in incentives have both normative and substantive importance – decreasing the power of marginalized groups and increasing opportunities for people and groups with conservative interests. Their study shows how the makeup of the Supreme Court affects the issues heard and which voices are heard loudest in the documents. Kirsten Widner is an Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. She received her JD from the University of San Diego School of Law and her PhD from Emory University. Her research focuses on the political representation of marginalized and unenfranchised groups. Anna Gunderson is an Associate Professor of Public Affairs at the University of Texas, Austin and she received her PhD from Emory University. She studies American politics; the politics of punishment and policing; judicial politics; state politics; and public policy.

What Formula 1 racing can teach us about investing. “It takes a lot of ambition to maximize your wealth over 100 years” - Luca Dellanna I was introduced to Luca's work by Guy Spier in our conversation a year and a half ago. I got see Luca in person a few times since, and we recorded by now three episodes of Talking Billions. Given the kind of long-term, patient, disciplined investing that I practice, Luca's thoughts on long-term games and reproducible success resonate with me and have had a big impact on me. Luca expanded my vocabulary to explain something that I and my clients intuitively understand. I greatly enjoy every episode of Talking Billions as I'm sure you can easily tell, and I can't have favorites, but this conversation is up there in my book, so if you can, don't miss it. Luca Dellanna is a management advisor focused on increasing revenue through better people and operations management. After a master's degree in automotive engineering, Luca spent the first part of his career working for DuPont's consulting unit in Frankfurt, Germany. There, he focused on managerial excellence projects in a variety of manufacturing industries all across Europe. He has also published books about management, human behavior, and economics that earned him appearances on the most important conferences and podcasts in his field, Nudgestock and EconTalk, respectively. Luca writes regularly on Twitter (@DellAnnaLuca). His personal website is www.luca-dellanna.com Today, we talk about the different mindsets of short-term versus long-term players. We talk about how short-term players focus on immediate gains, while long-term players prioritize sustainable growth over time. We discuss the importance of considering the time horizon in investing and life decisions. We talk about understanding the impact of time horizon on risk management and the pursuit of wealth. Luca shares the value of delaying comparison and enjoying the journey in achieving long-term objectives. We discuss how risk management is not about impeding growth but rather about enabling faster growth by protecting against major risks. We talk about how long-term strategies should be sustainable, constructive, and inevitable, ensuring a 100% success rate over the long term. Luca shares that participating in a 'race to the bottom' can lead to sacrificing too much and ultimately losing, even for the winner. 05:00 Short-Term vs. Long-Term Players: A Distinctive Contrast 08:26 Factors Influencing Time Preference: Genetics, Experiences, and Environment 16:13 The Importance of Experiencing Long-Term Benefits for Emotional Solidification 34:16 Navigating Parallel Universes of Success 42:22 The Significance of Delaying Comparison and Enjoying the Journey 53:44 The Relationship Between Risk Management and Growth 01:04:14 Understanding Long-Term Strategies Podcast Program – Disclosure Statement Blue Infinitas Capital, LLC is a registered investment adviser and the opinions expressed by the Firm's employees and podcast guests on this show are their own and do not reflect the opinions of Blue Infinitas Capital, LLC.

Welcome to another episode of Category Visionaries — the show that explores GTM stories from tech's most innovative B2B founders. In today's episode, we're speaking with Ron Efroni, CEO & Co-Founder at Flox, a Nix environment management tool that has raised $28 Million in funding. Here are the most interesting points from our conversation: Military Influence: Ron discussed his experience in the 8200 unit, emphasizing how the high-stakes, mission-critical environment of military intelligence provided him with a unique perspective and approach to handling pressure and responsibility, which he has carried into his entrepreneurial ventures. Transition from Military to Entrepreneurship: He touched on the challenges and learning curves associated with moving from a structured military environment to the unpredictability of starting and running startups, highlighting the differences in team dynamics and decision-making processes. Role at Facebook: Before founding Flox, Ron worked at Facebook, where he was responsible for developer products and experiences. This role provided him with insights into large-scale product management and development, influencing his approach to building and managing his own company. Foundation of Flox: The idea for Flox came from Ron's experiences at Facebook and his frustration with the complexities developers face in environment management. His exposure to Nix technology and its potential led him to co-found Flox to simplify and streamline development environments for programmers. Community Engagement and Open Source Philosophy: Ron is actively involved in the Nix community and advocates for open source development. He aims to support and grow the Nix ecosystem, reflecting his commitment to collaborative innovation and community-driven development. Future Vision for Flox: Looking ahead, Ron envisions Flox significantly lowering barriers to software development by enhancing and expanding the capabilities of Nix environments, making development more accessible and efficient across the industry.  

Xiao Xiao Tong discusses an AJR article that found interreader agreement assessed among ten radiologists was substantial both for the Society of Radiologists in Ultrasound risk category assignment and for the surgical consultation recommendations. In particular, the variability was less relevant in the recommendation for surgical consultation and in assigning the indeterminate risk category.
