Podcasts about research advisor

This week, our guest is Dr. Heather Exner-Pirot, a Senior Fellow and Director of Energy, Natural Resources and Environment at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute in Ottawa, a Special Advisor to the Business Council of Canada, and a Research Advisor to the Indigenous Resource Network. Heather has twenty years of experience in Indigenous, Arctic and resource development and governance. She has published on Indigenous economic and resource development, energy security, and politics. Here are some of the questions that Peter and Jackie asked Heather: Does Canada have defense and security issues in the north? Politicians, including our Prime Minister, support Arctic export ports—do you expect to see new export corridors to the north? The Russians ship LNG from the Arctic, so why not Canada? What are your concerns about Prime Minister Mark Carney's climate policy, as outlined in his Liberal leadership and election platforms? What are the issues with Canada's greenwashing rules that were made law about one year ago? How would you recommend Canada move forward with speeding up the development of large projects—should the Impact Assessment Act (Bill C-69) be scrapped or just modified? What are the prospects for deploying small or micro nuclear reactors (SMRs) in the north? What does the future hold for Indigenous equity participation in major projects? Content referenced in this podcast:Northern Corridors: Hype or Hope?

After learning about the amazing work of my guest this week, I had an idea that I wanted to test out. Perhaps our current obsession with Large Language Models is revealing of our historic obsession with a narrow cognitivist view of how human learning happens (and, therefore, how schooling is structured)?!Memorise the largest possible bank of static data and then output plausible propositions, in response to prompts from a teacher or a standardised exam! Obviously that's a bit of an unfair caricature of the industrial schooling system, but also not a million miles from the truth! As you will have seen from my explorations over the last few years in episodes on ecological psychology, play, movement, active inference and 4E cognitive science, I believe that there is an emerging understanding of how radically embodied and embedded in place and in relationships human learning is actually is. So that's why I was so excited to learn about a vastly different approach to artificial intelligence that is based on a sensorimotor learning framework and Jeff Hawkin's Thousand Brains theory of the neocortex. Dr Viviane Clay is Executive Director of the Thousand Brains Project and a scientist with years of experience in neuroscience, AI and machine learning. She has a PhD in Cognitive Computing. The Thousand Brains Project grew out of decades of research at Numenta, a leading company in neuroscience-based AI technology, and is developing Monty, a new type of artificial intelligence based on the sensorimotor principles observed in the brain. Numenta's co-founder Jeff Hawkins is Research Advisor and Board Member of the Thousand Brains Project.You can find links to additional information about Monty and the Thousand Brains Project below:https://thousandbrains.org/ https://linktr.ee/1000brainsproj2 page overview: https://thousandbrains.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/TBP_Overview.pdfhttps://www.youtube.com/@thousandbrainsproject

“…people say, okay, recycle, and then somebody sees you throwing out a little candy wrapper. Nobody's going to point at you say, ‘Huh, I saw you threw away a recyclable piece” Right? But if I say I'm vegan and then I eat a slice of halal and halal is made with eggs, somebody will say, ‘Oh, it has eggs, you're not really vegan.' And so that's just kind of weird. – Galina Hale    Galina is a professor of economics at UC Santa Cruz.

With more of us embracing the opportunity to work from home, it's leaving our workplaces underutilised as occupancy levels in the workplace drop. The impacts of this vary from workplace ot workplace depending on the design style and approach ranging from limited variety in the spaces available for employees to perform their work through to a lack of energy and “buzz' that comes from bringing people together in the space. As someone who engages with organisations daily in this delicate dance of who gets to own their desk and who doesn't, weighing up the commercial realities of leasing costs vs underutilised floor area and the opportunity to provide variety and choice to employees in where and how they work within the workplace, this is a topic of conversation that I am keen to explore.   So, when today's guest Dr Jenna Mikus shared an article written by BBC on LinkedIn, questioning if the hybrid office will ever feel like home, with her view of the impact of this approach I was keen to engage her in a friendly debate on the pros and cons of the “to own a desk or not to own a desk”.   Jenna shared; While this sounds ideal in theory, this Choose Your Adventure approach to daily working could backfire, as it introduces the risk of proving exhausting and therefore off-putting to workers often already overwhelmed with work obligations. Not everyone embraces change, let alone adventure...especially on a daily basis.   As an advocate of creating workplaces that respond to the unique and individual needs of organisations, their teams and their people, my view is that by relinquishing individual ownership of our workpoints, we can inturn optimise our work environments to cater to a greater variety of work styles and activities, further enhancing our experience of work.   Dr Jenna Mikus is the Founder and Managing Partner of the Eudae Group, which advises clients on organizational and spatial (both physical and digital) transformational change relating to built environments curated for health and wellbeing. Her clients have included commercial office owners, operators, and tenants as well as military, government, healthcare, higher education, aged care, and more on a global scale, with particular emphasis on the US, Canada, the UK, and Australia.   As an advocate for bridging industry practice with academic theory/research, Jenna is also a Visiting Fellow with QUT's Centre for Decent Work & Industry, an Honorary Fellow with the Centre for Conscious Design, a former Health Equity and current Research Advisor for the International WELL Building Institute, and a contributor to Harvard University's Human Flourishing Program's Flourishing at Work Interest Group.   Jenna leverages her education across engineering, architecture, and design with her depth and breadth of work experience relating to strategy, change management, and design thinking to encourage multidisciplinary cross-pollination in theory and practice and to guide the creation/curation of intelligent, sustainable, and flourishing environments for all.   Jenna is well versed in supporting organisations to create environments that support us all in flourishing at work, having worked in organsiational change and recently completing her PhD focused on flourishing health and wellbeing, so I was pleased when she agreed to engage in this conversation, so that we could explore it from a few angles and see where we land.   This is an interesting conversation exploring the role of workplace design on the individuals that occupy them.   LINKS Get your copy of Mel's new Book “The Next Workplace; Designing Dynamic Environments that Inspire Human Potential”   Connect with Jenna; LinkedIn | Website   Connect with Mel; Email | Insta |

Ty Beal, nutrition researcher and Research Advisor on the Knowledge Leadership team at the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN), has spent the last few years diving into the science globally to see what the most nutrient-dense foods are.   He also studies the nutritional deficiencies that we're facing worldwide — in developing and well-off countries — to see what's really happening here.   In this episode, you'll learn what the most nutrient-dense foods are, the most common micronutrient deficiencies we're currently facing and why this is crucial to pay attention to, how we can address these issues, and what the real food rankings should look like.   Ty and Dr. Anthony Gustin also discuss regenerative agriculture, different diets like vegan and carnivore, whether seed oils are unhealthy, and the bioavailability of food.   You'll also hear Ty's opinion on whether we should reduce our meat consumption, including red meat, his thoughts on saturated fat, and whether plant toxins are really an issue.   If you're not familiar with Ty Beal's work, he's a Washington, D.C., based researcher and Research Advisor on the Knowledge Leadership team at the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN).   His objective work has been quoted in dozens of research papers to date, and he has extensive experience studying diet quality, food affordability, sustainable food systems, micronutrient deficiencies, global health, and more.   You'll find a breakdown of the topics Ty Beal and Dr. Anthony Gustin get into in this episode below: What got Ty Beal into nutrition research What he changed on his own health journey What makes a food ultra processed? What makes ultra processed foods so bad for your health? The most prevalent nutrient deficiencies worldwide Why are these nutrient deficiencies happening? What are some of the most nutrient dense foods? Where Ty goes to see the nutrient density of a food What about the bioavailability of foods? Is there enough scientific evidence to say that we should reduce our animal consumption? Ty shares his thoughts on regenerative agriculture and using circular systems, including what the latter is Should red meat be demonized as much as it currently is? Is saturated fat really bad for us? Ty also shares his thoughts on consuming seed oils   Resources mentioned in the episode: Ty Beal's work on Google Scholar  Ty Beal's Twitter Micronutrient deficiencies among preschool-aged children and women of reproductive age worldwide: a pooled analysis of individual-level data from population-representative surveys Limitations of the Food Compass Nutrient Profiling System Friend or Foe?

This week on the podcast Mikki speaks to Ty Beal, Research Advisor on the Knowledge Leadership team at the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition about nutrient density, bioavailability, and his recent study on global micronutrient deficiencies. Ty explains his approach to defining nutritional deficiencies and addresses common misconceptions and misunderstandings about which foods are the most nutrient-dense. We discuss the modern diet, how children are impacted by the available food choices, the problem of nutrient deficiencies in the developed world (where calories are plentiful) and the challenge of establishing food guidance systems to address the health of the population, rather than a “healthy population” (of which most of the developed world wouldn't fall into).Ty Beal is a Research Advisor on the Knowledge Leadership team at the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN).

What influences the announcement and design of a feminist foreign policy? How “efficient” and “important” is the use of the word “feminism” in this field? How it affects ffp implementation and domestic and international environments? What are some key critiques, debates and decolonial views on current ffps coming from the Global South? In Australia, there is an Australian Feminist Foreign Policy Coalition being convened amidst domestic and international security concerns from COVID-19, GBV and First Nations to the recent AUKUS pact. How could Australia's foreign policy benefit from feminist perspectives? Why enabling an environment of civil society conversation of ffp support the “soft landing” of a possible ffp announcement in the future?

People are considered the weakest link in any organization's cybersecurity defenses. Hence, in most cases, the primary targets of cyber-attackers are the employees of the organization. In addition, people are easier to compromise and exploit unlike finding a single software to breach an organization or enterprise business. While a lot of efforts go into improving the existing security infrastructure, ignorance of human resources would leave a significant gap in the defense strategy. Join ISACA's Research Advisor, Brian Fletcher, as he is joined by Dr. Yasmin Razack, author of “A Security Awareness Program for PCI DSS Compliance: Implementation and Legal and Ethical Issues to Be Considered”. In this episode, they will be addressing the challenges in implementing a security awareness program to fill this gap and the legal/ethical issues that needs to be considered during implementation. As per the Payment Card Industry – Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS) requirement 12.6, a Security Awareness Program is mandatory to be held at least once a year and for new hires. However, it is not an easy task and cannot be a one-time activity. But if implemented effectively, awareness programs can be the human firewall of the organization. It will make the organization compliant to regulations like PCI-DSS thereby protecting it from fines due to non-compliance, defamation, costs of data breaches and will help improve customer trust and loyalty.

As a young and multicultural country, Singapore's national identity has always been hard to define. With the world becoming more globalised, more Singaporeans are migrating overseas and more foreigners are moving to Singapore, our Singaporean identity is increasingly fluid and ever evolving. So is being Singaporean simply a matter of citizenship? Or is it about possessing uniquely Singaporean traits or values? If so, what exactly are these traits and values? On the eighth episode of the second season, host and Associate Director at the Institute of Policy Studies (IPS) Liang Kaixin chats with Dr Mathew Mathews, Principal Research Fellow of IPS and Head of IPS Social Lab, as well as Oon Shu An, a Singaporean actress and host, to discuss about our national identity and multiculturalism.

On this episode, I am joined by Ty Beal, Ph.D., a Research Advisor on the Knowledge Leadership team at the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN). So he is the perfect person to talk about nutrition at the global level including nutrient deficiencies and how best to address those gaps in different populations around the world.  We were both in Washington DC presenting at a conference and took advantage of a break in our schedules to have a chat. During this episode, Ty shares the highlights from his talk, “Contributions of Animal-source Foods to Healthy Diets for Improved Nutrition,” which is a topic you all know I am passionate about.  Ty references his presentation slides during the show and each one is pictured in the website show notes with timestamps so you can follow along, plus there is a downloadable pdf to the full slide deck. For those that want to dive deep into the science, there are also links to the studies he mentions. For those that just want the good news about including meat in your diet, here are the key takeaways: - Low consumption of meat and other animal-source foods increase the risk of undernutrition - Animal-source foods contain unique nutrients and are evolutionarily appropriate for humans - Meat and other animal-source foods are among the top sources of nutrients commonly lacking, especially among vulnerable groups like young children - Too little animal-source foods may hinder child growth and development and may not be optimal for longevity - Meat and animal-source foods are important for healthy diets and are compatible with sustainable diets when produced appropriately - Meat, eggs, and dairy provide unique essential nutrients important for healthy diets - Consuming too little animal-source foods worsens diet quality, increasing the risk of nutrient deficiencies and ill-health Additional Resources: 2019 Burden of Disease Study The Grocer: Red Meat Health Risks Study is ‘Unreliable', Claim Scientists  Sustainable Dish Episode 84 with Frédéric Leroy Eat-Lancet Diet 20 Ways Eat-Lancet's Global Diet is Wrongfully Vilifying Meat (Sustainable Dish blog post) White Oak Pastures Beef and Organ Meat Blend US Wellness Meats Beef Blend   Lulun Project Connect with Ty: Website: Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) Twitter: @tyrbeal LinkedIn: Ty Beal *** Episode Credits: Thank you to all who've made this show possible.

It's really interesting to me that this project that William Tennant did with young people, to me, it's youth ministry. To me, Princeton Theological Seminary's founding was a youth ministry project. And so, I thought, ‘okay, if we're supposed to do something, that's in line with our mission, vision, and values, why not go back to our founding?' Arguably, our founding was via youth ministry. Let's lean into that. -Rev. Abigail Visco RusertPart One—Introducing: Disrupting Ministry(0:00-6:36)Host Megan DeWald introduces the Rev. Abigail Visco Rusert, Director of the Institute for Youth Ministry and creator of the Log College Project, a grant initiative designed to help churches reimagine youth ministry in the 21st Century.Part Two—What is the Institute for Youth Ministry—and Why?(6:37-17:34)Abigail traces the origins of the Log College Project to the origins of Princeton Theological Seminary, which was founded, she suggests, as innovation in youth ministry.Part Three—What is the Log College Project—and How Does It Work?(17:35-31:40)Megan introduces Carmelle Beaugelin, Program Coordinator for the Log College Project, who explains its inner workings and hypotheses. Megan then introduces the Rev. Dr. Erin Raffety, a cultural anthropologist and practical theologian who has served as the Research Advisor for the project.Part Four—The Big Pivot, or The Great Accelerator(31:41-37:29)Abigail and Carmelle reflect on how the COVID-19 pandemic and the social upheaval of 2020 have impacted the churches of the Log College Project, along with potential long-term impacts on the practice of youth ministry as a whole.Conclusion & Credits(37:30-39:12)Next week, we feature stories from Coppin Memorial African Methodist Episcopal Church in Chicago, Illinois, and their quest to create a "new normal" in their community.___________________________________Audio editing  and production by Nii Addo Abrahams (Follow @_nickyflash_)Music available at Epidemic Sound (https://www.epidemicsound.com/)The IYM thanks Maiia Avelino, Brooke Matejka, Tamesha Mills, Erin Raffety, & Christine Toto.

Today, the crisis in Myanmar stands out as a case study of groups harnessing social media to incite violence and of the failure of social media platforms to take action. What role did online hate speech and misinformation play in the resurgence of oppression and human rights violations? What are the lessons learned from this crisis for all stakeholders (Big Tech, states, civil society) to prevent this from happening again?The third session of the “Decoding Hate Speech” series will focus on the weaponization of social media in Myanmar and address whether this case marks a turning point in Big Tech’s realization that they must consider the human rights impact of their platforms. Senator Marilou McPhedranGrant Shubin, Legal Director of the Global Justice CenterMyat Thu, Independent expert and Research Advisor at Myanmar Tech AccountabilityKyle Matthews, Executive Director of the Montreal Institute for Genocide and Human Rights Studies (MIGS)

In the first episode of Compounding Crises, the third GISF Podcast series, we speak to Léa Moutard, GISF's Research Advisor. Since joining GISF in August 2019, Léa has been managing a pioneering new research project on Partnerships and Security Risk Management: from the local partner's perspective. In recent years, limited access and growing risks have meant that more and more international NGOs collaborate with local and national NGOs to implement humanitarian responses. With the travel restrictions of the COVID-19 pandemic, international NGOs' reliance on local partners is likely to increase, while renewed attention to the localisation agenda has already been sparked. GISF's upcoming project places the local perspective at the forefront and is one of the first pieces of research to focus entirely on security risks within NGO partnerships. Based on a series of case studies, interviews and questionnaires, the project seeks to raise awareness of the security issues faced by local partners, challenge common understandings of ‘risk transfer', and encourage greater dialogue on security risk management between partner organisations. The first phase of the project, a research paper aimed at exploring the attitudes, experiences and needs of local NGOs in terms of security risk management, will be released in Autumn 2020. In 2021, a good practice guide building on the research findings will be developed to support both local and international NGOs partners in sharing responsibility for security risks. To open GISF's latest podcast series, in this episode, we discuss the state of security risk management within NGO partnerships, in an era of compounding crises.
