Links Wheatley Institute research reports Addressing Pornography Share your thoughts in the Leading Saints community Transcript coming soon Get 14-day access to the Core Leader Library Highlights Kurt and Brian discuss the complexities of pornography use within religious contexts. Brian emphasizes that young adults will encounter pornography, often leading to shame and guilt. He highlights the importance of understanding the motivations behind pornography use, which can range from curiosity to emotional coping mechanisms. Brian also addresses the stigma surrounding addiction labels. He explains that only about 10% of users experience compulsive behavior, while many others face problematic use. Church leaders should focus on creating a safe environment for youth to discuss these issues. By asking questions about triggers and providing coping strategies, leaders can help youth navigate their experiences. Brian encourages a balanced approach to discussing pornography, emphasizing hope, understanding, and the potential for growth through repentance. 03:35 - Brian Willoughby's Expertise in Pornography Research 04:26 - Overview of BYU and the Wheatley Institute 05:57 - Research Impact on Policy and Society 06:57 - Teaching Future Therapists and Family Studies 07:37 - The Stigma of Pornography in Religious Contexts 08:50 - Understanding the Broader Impact of Pornography 09:51 - Meta-Analyses and Key Findings on Pornography 11:38 - The Concept of Addiction and Compulsive Behavior 12:58 - Potential for DSM Inclusion of Hypersexual Disorder 13:47 - Brain Chemistry and Pornography Use 15:29 - Distinction Between Addictive and Problematic Use 17:34 - Scripting Expectations from Pornography 19:24 - Social Media and Its Impact on Mental Health 20:34 - The Need for Open Conversations About Pornography 21:09 - The Role of Church Leaders in Addressing Pornography 22:13 - The Importance of Avoiding Labels of Addiction 23:47 - Understanding Youth Experiences with Pornography 25:56 - The Normative Context of Pornography Use 27:06 - Creating Positive Conversations Around Pornography 28:51 - The Role of Fear and Anxiety in Youth Discussions 30:05 - Normalizing Sin and Repentance 31:04 - Distinction Between Guilt and Shame 34:02 - Motivating Youth Through Guilt vs. Shame 36:57 - The Importance of Understanding Triggers 39:11 - Building Coping Skills for Youth 41:27 - Final Thoughts on Support and Guidance The award-winning Leading Saints Podcast is one of the top independent Latter-day Saints podcasts as part of nonprofit Leading Saints' mission to help Latter-day Saints be better prepared to lead.

Listen now on Apple, Spotify, and YouTube.Javier is a User Experience Research Director with more than 20 years of experience in the field. He is passionate about building effective research organizations that scale and deliver critical user insights that help teams develop successful products that delight users. He has a proven track record of career development and coaching.In our conversation, we discuss:* The difference between strategic and tactical insights, not methods and why that distinction matters.* How to navigate the perceived “versus” between strategic and tactical research and instead embrace a more fluid, problem-driven approach.* Ways to embed strategic insights into product planning through tools like “strategic primers.”* How to deliver value in both tactical and strategic spaces—and earn your seat at the table in high-level planning.* How researchers can broaden their method toolkit to avoid defaulting to the same approaches and unlock new kinds of insights.Some takeaways:* Strategic and tactical are outcomes, not methods. Javier emphasizes that insights, not research methods, determine whether something is strategic or tactical. Usability tests can uncover strategic direction, and field studies can surface tactical improvements. Researchers need to move away from labeling methods and focus on the value the insights provide to the business.* You can't influence strategy if you're not in the room. Delivering a compelling presentation isn't enough. To make strategic insights actionable, researchers need to be present during planning and roadmap discussions. If you're not sure when strategic planning happens, that's a red flag and an invitation to start earning your seat by solving the right problems.* “Strategic primers” help researchers shape roadmaps. One of Javier's teams developed strategic primers: succinct, insight-packed documents delivered ahead of planning cycles. These primers synthesize research and industry knowledge into clear recommendations, helping PMs and leaders use research to guide direction-setting conversations.* There's no seniority in choosing tactics over strategy. Some researchers fall into the trap of avoiding tactical work as they become more senior. But successful researchers move between both as needed, supporting teams through every phase of development. Avoiding tactical work can disconnect you from the product and from impact.* Stop chasing “strategic work, and, instead, solve the right problems. Rather than seeking out work that feels more senior or impressive, Javier encourages researchers to focus on the problems that matter most to the business. When you deliver insights that move the team forward, strategic or tactical, you build trust, influence, and long-term value.Where to find Javier:* Website* LinkedInInterested in sponsoring the podcast?Interested in sponsoring or advertising on this podcast?

Reproductive health is historically understudied and underfunded in the United States. Scientists across Connecticut and beyond have been working to change that. Scientific initiatives like EndoRISE, a Connecticut-based program focused on advancing endometriosis research, are making strides toward better understanding reproductive health. This hour, we explore how President Trump’s recent funding cuts could impact their progress. GUESTS: Michayla Savitt: State Government Reporter, CT Public Dr. Danielle Luciano: Associate Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology and co-director of EndoRISE Dr. Lubna Pal: Professor of Obstetrics, Gynecology & Reproductive Sciences, Yale School of Medicine Julie Rovner: Chief Washington Correspondent, KFF Support the show: http://wnpr.org/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today's episode features a roundtable discussion on Research Impact. Caroline Goldsmith, Associate Director, Charleston Hub, talks with Rachel Borchardt, Scholarly Communication Librarian and University Library Faculty, American University; Andrea Hebert, Research Impact Librarian, Louisiana State University; and Camille Gamboa, AVP, Corporate Communications, Sage. This conversation features both the librarian perspective and the publisher perspective of how each defines and supports research impact at their institutions, how the conversation has expanded over the years, and why forward thinking is crucial to meet the challenges such as academic silos, the dominance of traditional metrics, and the lack of commitment from U.S. universities to initiatives like DORA, and to support more effective impact of research. Librarians have an important role in shaping these conversations and helping institutions move beyond traditional metrics. We also discuss Policy Maps, which is a free tool offered by Sage for individual researchers to determine their policy impact.

Research, especially at a high level, can feel like a deeply thankless job. You work alone, face endless struggles, and rarely get recognition. But over the years, I've learned to push through by reflecting on how fortunate I truly am.I come from an immigrant family. My parents didn't finish high school. My grandmother, an orphan, raised her family in the harsh conditions of Northern Ontario just to survive. When I think about this—about the sacrifices that led to where I am—I feel a deep sense of privilege and responsibility to change the world for the better.What keeps me going is knowing that the work I do has meaning. I'm building something—through the R3ciprocity Project—that helps others push forward with their own research. Knowing that I can improve people's lives and support their journey has changed who I am. It's no longer about impressing anyone; it's about leaving something behind that matters.Remembering where I came from gives me pride, purpose, and the drive to keep building. The struggles of research are real, but so is the impact we can make. For me, that's enough to keep going.

Rebecca Williams, narrates her blog written for the Dementia Researcher website. Rebecca contemplates the journey of her work from its conception to its final goal of tangible real-world impact. She shares a personal anecdote about her first publication, reflecting on the sense of anticlimax when the anticipated change failed to materialise instantly. This experience serves as a springboard for a broader discussion on how researchers can create a more direct path to impact. Rebecca provides practical suggestions on how to align research with NICE recommendations to ensure relevance and application in health services. She urges researchers to engage with policy-making, even in the early stages of their careers, to understand the kind of evidence that can influence decisions and replicate success. Furthermore, she emphasizes the importance of public engagement, advising researchers to consult with patients and carers to ensure their work addresses real needs and achieves its intended effect. The blog underscores the idea that research impact should not be an afterthought but a guiding principle from the beginning of the research process. By integrating these approaches, she advocates for a more intentional and effective pathway to ensure that research does not "enter the void" but instead contributes to meaningful progress. Find the original text, and narration here on our website. https://www.dementiaresearcher.nihr.ac.uk/blog-research-impact-beginning-at-the-end/ -- Rebecca Williams is PhD student at the University of Cambridge.

This week the attention of British political journalists was firmly fixed on Chancellor Jeremy Hunt, who unveiled big tax cuts in his much-anticipated Autumn Statement on Wednesday. The Conservative government's cuts to National Insurance will put a few more pounds into UK payslips starting January– but at what cost? The Guardian's Kiran Stacey joins Nish and Coco to explain what these cuts mean for public services (spoiler alert: it's not good), and to explain why these proposals look like the work of a Chancellor who doesn't plan to be in office much longer. While the Tories plot out a strategy for the next election– and its aftermath– the millions of people using food banks have other concerns. Helen Barnard, Director of Policy, Research & Impact at the Trussell Trust explains what the Autumn Statement means for people struggling with food insecurity and homelessness, and why tax cuts typically benefit the wealthiest members of society, not the poorest. She also lays out what kinds of structural changes could help end poverty.Planned changes to the disability benefits program give Nish a villain for the week, while Coco celebrates the heroic campaigners of Stop MSG Sphere whose activism successfully halted plans to build a bulbous, pulsating light-polluting orb-shaped music venue in Stratford, East London.Pod Save the UK is a Reduced Listening production for Crooked Media. Contact us via email: PSUK@reducedlistening.co.ukWhatsApp: 07514 644 572 (UK) or + 44 7514 644 572Insta: https://instagram.com/podsavetheukTwitter: https://twitter.com/podsavetheukTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@podsavetheukFacebook: https://facebook.com/podsavetheukYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/podsavetheworld Guest:Helen Barnard, Director of Policy, Research & Impact at the Trussell TrustKiran Stacey, Political Correspondent, The Guardian Audio credits:UK Covid-19 InquirySky NewsITV News Londonparliamentlive.tv Useful links:Helen Barnard's book: www.waterstones.com/book/want/helen-barnard/9781788213974Visit our sponsors: auraframes.com/psuk, promo code: PSUKVisit crooked.com/store for Christmas present ideas

The UK's Research Excellence Framework (REF) collects research outputs from UK universities and is used by the the country's government to distribute around £2 billion in research funding. But its focus on publications to measure outputs has drawn criticism. The Hidden REF, set up in 2020, looks at alternative measures. Simon Hettrick, its chair and director of the Software Susaintability Institute at the University of Southampton, UK, explains what can be submitted, and why publications are excluded. Gemma Derrick, a former member of the Hidden REF advisory committee who studies research policy and culture at the University of Bristol, UK, talks about its “hidden roles” category, and why some entries moved judges to tears. Kevin Atkins, who has worked as a site engineer at the University of Plymouth's Marine Biological Association for 32 years, was highly commended in the category. He describes a typical day, and how his work contributes to the wider research enterprise.Another highly commended entry was Growing up on the Streets, an international co-produced research project led by the University of Dundee, which focuses on around 200 young people aged 14 to 20 across three African cities: Accra, Bukavu and Harare. Lorraine van Blerk, a human geography researcher at the university, explains how six young people in each city were recruited as researchers, and how their roles were recognised and celebrated.

A new national survey reveals that South Africans read more than we think: 83% of South Africans read in some way, whether for pleasure, to learn new things or to communicate with others, and 32% read books regularly. But they still face significant challenges accessing reading material, especially in African languages, and most children are growing up without any children's books at home. This is one of the key findings presented in the 2023 National Reading Survey (NRS), launched alongside the National Reading Barometer (NRB) project by the Nal'ibali Trust, the National Library of South Africa (NLSA), and a multi-sector project steering committee in Sandton, Johannesburg, on 13 June 2023.
