This week, Kim and I have a vulnerable discussion about my risk of Alzheimer's Disease. Three of my four grandparents, my late father, and my mother have all struggled with Alzheimer's and dementia. As I have grown older, the fear of developing it has always been in the back of my mind. But I have something all of my family didn't - new information on how to TRY to prevent it.We are honored to have Dr. Richard Isaacson join us and share his research as one of the leading voices in Alzheimer's disease prevention. Dr. Richard Isaacson is Director of Research at The Institute for Neurodegenerative Diseases (IND) and Director of the Precision Prevention Program at Atria Health and Research Institute. His research explores how lifestyle interventions can help reduce the risk of Alzheimer's. We discuss everything from how Ozempic may help to what supplements not to take. I also try to keep things light with the "Top 5 Funniest Things About Alzheimer's" at the end of the show (and Kim gives a #NotSponsored endorsement and update on her Road To 50!) Have you been personally impacted by Alzheimer's? We would love to hear what you think! Leave us a voicemail at 323-364-3929 or write the show at podcast@theholdernessfamily.com.

Seems we can't go through an hour without hearing news about artificial intelligence these days. There are a lot of exciting developments, and some of the most exciting when thinking about space are coming from the USRA's Research Institute for Advanced Computer Science (RIACS), which is on the cutting edge of the cutting edge. In this episode, we're speaking with the institute's director, Dr. David Bell, who will walk us through the differences between current AI, agentic AI, and--are you ready?--quantum-powered AI, and their current and future potential to revolutionize space exploration and development. Join us!Headlines Trump budget cuts: The Trump administration's fiscal 2026 "skinny" budget proposes slashing NASA's funding by $6 billion—24 % of its current $24.8 billion—threatening SLS, Orion, Gateway, and Mars Sample Return programs. Planet 9 revival: Scientists re-examining 1980s IRAS and 2006–2011 Akari infrared data have uncovered new gravitational signatures suggesting a hidden Planet 9 at ~700 AU, bringing the search closer to confirmation. Speed-round catch-up: NASA's Psyche asteroid mission is battling low fuel pressure; the decades-old Soviet Cosmos 42 Venus probe is slated to re-enter around May 10; and a recent poll finds over half of Gen Z and millennials believe in alien cover-ups. Main Topic – AI in Space with Dr. David Bell USRA & QuAIL overview: Dr. Bell outlines USRA's Research Institute for Advanced Computer Science (RIACS) and its Quantum Artificial Intelligence Lab—a collaboration with Google and NASA Ames driving AI and quantum computing integration in space missions Career path & pivotal shifts: With 20+ years at USRA and a prior decade at Xerox PARC, Bell traces AI's journey from 1959's first neural nets to the 2017 transformer breakthrough that sparked today's LLM revolution. Early AI successes: AutoClass's unsupervised learning on the 1980s IRAS mission discovered a new class of infrared stars, and ExoMiner's deep-learning engine has since validated over 300 exoplanets from Kepler data. Agent-based autonomy: USRA deployed mobile agents on the ISS to automate file transfers and Deep Space One's Remote Agent performed onboard planning, execution, and anomaly recovery in deep space during the 1990s.

We welcomed Dr. David Bell, Director of the Research Institute for Advanced Computer Science which is an institute of the parent company, Universities Space Research Association (USRA). Our guest introduced us to USRA, then we discussed its history and some of the history associated with AI and machine learning for space as well as other industries. We talked about ways in which AI has been used in space and is now being used for space exploration, weather analysis with satellites, imaging and more. Quantum computing was an additional part of our discussion, along with the energy needed for AI and quantum. In fact one of our callers inquired about the market for He3 for fuel for quantum. At time Dr. Bell said that AI for space was now routine, going on to tell us what parts of space were routine. Don't miss his commentary. Lots of other topics came up including self-replicating machines, AI for settlement, AI on the Moon and for lunar development, AI to further human spaceflight. Toward the end of our program we talked about global competition and a race for leadership with AI and Quantum. Listen to what our guest had to say about China in this context. Also plasma 3D printing, partnerships and the commercial industry. Please read the full summary of this program when available at www.thespaceshow.com for this date, Friday, April 25, 2025.

Content note: perinatal suicidality In this episode Sophie speaks with midwife and Research Fellow Dr Laura Biggs, and CEO of PANDA Australia, Julie Borninkhof about the Making Sense of the Unseen partnership between the Stronger Futures CRE and the Murdoch Children's REsearch Institute, PANDA Perinatal Anxiety and Depression Australia, and James Cook University. In the episode you'll hear discussed key findings from ground-breaking research conducted by the team on experiences of perinatal suicidality, the first study of its kind ever to be carried out. Suicide is the leading cause of maternal death in Australia and other high-income countries and yet so far, we've known little about women's experiences of suicidality at this time in their lives. As discussed in this episode, the research identified that perinatal suicidality is driven by experiences of shame, and feelings of being disconnected and ‘defective' as a mother. We talk about how societal pressures and the perfect mother myth narrative profoundly impact women's mental health, and share stories from the research that demonstrate the profound importance of compassionate care and rehumanising relationships and care experiences for mothers. This episode is an especially important listen for all of those who work in healthcare and/or with mothers. We want to acknowledge the 139 women who shared their experiences of perinatal suicidality with the research team, as without their generosity, this research and this conversation on the podcast sharing these important findings would not be possible. … Episode webpage: https://drsophiebrock.com/podcast119 Connect with Laura on Twitter @l_biggs Follow PANDA on Facebook at facebook.com/pandanational and Instagram @pandanational Laura Biggs' email: laura.biggs@mcri.edu.au Learn more about Making Sense of the Unseen: https://www.strongerfutures.org.au/making-sense-of-the-unseen Read the journal article: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/10497323231164278 Support lines Australia - www.panda.org.au/ - 1300 726 306 @pandanational @lifelineaustralia @13yarn UK - pandasfoundation.org.uk/ - 0808 1961 776 USA - www.postpartum.net/ - Text “Help” to 800-944-4773 (EN) The EU/EEA - Mental health helpline - 116 123

Send us a textOn Inside Geneva this week, we ask whether the United Nations (UN) and multilateralism have a future.“Is the UN anachronistic? I mean, it was formed after the Second World War. Obviously, it's getting a little bit dusty,” says political analyst Daniel Warner.Younger generations from the Global South tell us wherethey see the UN's flaws. “The countries of the Global North have not stood up to the ideals that they have created in an equitable manner. It's simply like preaching water and drinking wine,” says Pratyush Sharma from the Global South Centre of Excellence in Dehli.“The United Nations Security Council is absolutely inefficient in dealing with the reality of people, especially from the Global South,” continues Marilia Closs from Plataforma CIPÓ in Brazil.“The Global South cannot exist on its own. Likewise the Global North also cannot exist on its own,” says Olumide Onitekun from the Africa Policy and Research Institute in Nigeria.But the UN was created for very good reasons.“When you think about the end of the Second World War and how the UN was created, the world was so sick and tired of war, they wanted it to end. It's a different mindset. You know, it just makes me think, is that what we're going to need?” says Dawn Clancy, UN journalist in New York.Can the UN survive?

Today's guest is Dan Elton, a Staff Scientist at the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Dan returns to the program to explore how AI is advancing genetic research, from protein engineering to gene editing and risk prediction. One of the most significant breakthroughs in this space is AlphaFold, DeepMind's AI model that predicts protein structures with unprecedented accuracy. While it does not analyze genetic sequences directly, its ability to model protein folding is transforming drug development and protein engineering. Dan also discusses the potential for AI to improve polygenic risk prediction, where machine learning models are being applied to assess disease risk based on genetic markers.

Measles was once considered eliminated in the United States, thanks to the measles-mumps-rubella vaccine and high immunisation rates. But because measles is so contagious experts say at least 95 percent of a community must be vaccinated to stop outbreaks - and that's not the case in the US, where there's been a serious outbreak in Texas witha couple of deaths. Vaccination rates have declined nationwide in the US since the COVID-19 pandemic, and most states are below the vaccination threshold for kindergartners. The worldwide decrease in vaccination levels is also being seen here in Australia.

Did you know that women hold a mere 5% of leadership positions in the Irish tech industry[1]? Compared to 24% across all sectors in Ireland[2]? These are staggering statistics. It is widely known that women are significantly underrepresented in the technology sector, particularly in leadership roles. One must ask, is there a stigma preventing women from joining the tech sector? Does the narrative need to change and instead of highlighting the overall meagre sector statistics which creates additional barriers to young girls studying STEM - focus on the organisations who are recognising that talent doesn't choose a gender; talent is earned, developed and honed. A stalwart in the Irish tech sector is Walton Institute at South East Technological University (SETU). With almost 30 years providing R&D support for industry, as well as leading pioneering national and European projects playing a role in technological advancements throughout Europe, Walton is spearheading women in STEM. While the staff of 78 has over 52 male, in the Leadership Team of 12 the scale is tipped with 8 women at the centre of the strategic direction of the organisation. The Institute has four research divisions all led by women. Of these, three have been promoted from within over recent years, including the Institute's Director of Research. Having joined in 2018 as a research fellow, Dr Deirdre Kilbane quickly became Head of Division in 2020 before being appointed as Director of Research in 2022. The following year, her outstanding performance leading the strategic IrelandQCI project earned her the designation of the quantum communication expert for Ireland. Dr Frances Cleary and Catherine Cunniffe joined the organisation in its early days and have played a pivotal role in the growth of Walton Institute. They have seen the digital transformation of industries and technologies and are at the forefront of identifying innovative solutions for companies. Dr Lizy Abraham joined Walton Institute in 2021 and became head of division in 2024 where she drives impactful research in emerging areas while nurturing and developing early-stage researchers alongside Dr Indrakshi Dey who has a lengthy CV of accomplishments along with her fellow heads of division. Herein lies another question: how can Walton Institute have a leadership team where two-thirds are women? If the Institute, based within SETU, must follow strict public sector recruitment policies to ensure equality and fairness to all candidates, why can't private sector entities naturally improve their gender balance? Instead of promoting a woman because an organisation needs to fulfil gender balance obligations, it should be that women are rightly promoted because they deserve it. We are seeing a generational shift of a woman's role in society. The rise in female participation in the labour force in 2024 reached a record high of 61.6% which may be partly attributed to the increased flexibility offered by hybrid working models.[3] Additionally, organisations adopting a fully flexible, hybrid model sees a significant 34% of senior leaders being women, compared to 29% in office-based roles. [4] This is the key to Walton's success, not only in their approach to research but also by offering staff a flexible approach to their working week. The directors recognise that life can't be put on hold while at work. Trust is instilled in the team, and it is repaid with dedication and success. Since its inception, the incredible team of researchers collaborate with 850 partners globally and have secured over €756m in total project funding. In 2024 alone, the total project value was €52m, of that Walton directly received €8.1m. The unwavering dedication is clear from these figures and is to be celebrated. Gender equality at a leadership level in Walton Institute, SETU, isn't an ongoing topic of conversation, it has been an organic, natural progression of the Institute. However, this unique position within the research-tech sect...

In this episode I welcomes Lindsey  Mazza Capgemini's Global Retail Lead, to explore the latest findings from their annual What Matters to Today's Consumer report. The conversation uncovers significant shifts in consumer behaviour, AI-driven retail strategies, and the future of fast delivery.Mazza outlines how 2025 marks a turning point where science fiction meets retail reality. Consumer expectations are rapidly changing, with a notable surge in demand for ultra-fast delivery. According to the study, 70% of consumers now prefer 10-minute delivery, a dramatic rise from previous years. However, Mazza warns that while demand is high, willingness to pay for such convenience remains a challenge for retailers.Another key insight is the transformation of consumer segmentation. Traditional demographic-based segmentation is becoming outdated, replaced by machine-learning-driven clusters focusing on shopping behaviour. Capgemini's research identifies five distinct consumer groups based on purchasing habits rather than age or income, highlighting the importance of behaviour-driven marketing strategies.The discussion also delves into AI's evolving role in retail. Mazza explains how AI is revolutionizing both front-end consumer experiences and back-end operations. From personalized shopping recommendations to AI-powered logistics, generative AI enables retailers to refine supply chains, automate decision-making, and enhance the shopping journey. Notably, retail media networks use AI to optimize ad placement, influencing consumer purchases more effectively than traditional search engines.Retailers must also navigate the rise of social commerce, with 70% of consumers now shopping through social platforms and seeking influencer recommendations. This trend underscores the shift towards a more interactive, digital-first retail landscape.When asked where retailers should invest their last dollar, Mazza prioritizes three areas:Retail Media – The next wave of influencer marketing.Supply Chain Innovation – Fast, efficient logistics as a key consumer differentiator.Sustainability Initiatives – Particularly in food waste reduction, which offers financial and environmental benefits.With AI reshaping the retail landscape, Mazza emphasizes that success lies not in chasing AI use cases but in adopting value-driven technologies that enhance business performance and consumer engagement.For more insights, visit Capgemini's Research Institute or connect with Lindsay Mazza on LinkedIn.#RetailTrends #AIinRetail #FastDelivery #RetailMedia #ConsumerBehavior #RetailInnovation #VoiceofRetail Michael LeBlanc is the president and founder of M.E.

Stem cell treatments are being offered around the globe as an almost ‘miracle’ intervention promising to help patients avoid major surgeries and treat untreatable conditions. While commercialised and able to be accessed internationally, the bulk of stem cell related therapies in Australia remain ‘experimental,’ with only a limited amount of uses approved by the Therapeutic Goods Administration and the National Health and Medical Research Council. So what exactly are stem cells, why are Australians traveling overseas to get them and is it time for a regulatory rethink? In Part Two of this two-part deep dive of The Briefing, Chris Spyrou is joined by Professor Megan Munsie, an expert in stem cell ethics and policy at the Murdoch Children's Research Institute, and Professor James St John, Head of the Clem Jones Centre for Neurobiology and Stem Cell Research, to break down the future of stem cell treatments in Australia.

Anna Dhody is back for Part 2 of our conversation.  What we discuss in Part 2: How the pandemic prompted the Mutter Museum to increase its online presence, leading to a virtual tour that garnered over a million views.   A significant event during this time was the donation of a human heart from a living donor, Rob, who wanted to contribute to the museum after receiving a heart transplant. Anna filmed an unboxing video of the heart, which unexpectedly went viral, attracting a wide audience and generating interest in the museum. The success of the heart unboxing led to a series of educational videos about the preservation and display of biological specimens. Anna's videos fostered a community where viewers shared personal stories and experiences related to medical conditions, leading to increased awareness and support. After leaving the museum, Anna founded the Dhody Research Institute to continue her work in science communication and education. The institute aims to increase accessibility to medical and scientific information and inspire young people to explore STEM careers. Anna is developing new video series, including "What's That For?" which invites viewers to guess the purpose of medical objects and learn their stories. The Dhody Research Institute is running a fundraising campaign to support the production of more educational content. Anna emphasized the importance of educating young people to become informed citizens and critical thinkers in today's world.

Keith Ferrazzi: Never Lead Alone Keith Ferrazzi is an entrepreneur and global thought leader in high-performing teams and Chairman of Ferrazzi Greenlight and its Research Institute. He is the author of the New York Times bestseller Who's Got Your Back and bestsellers like Never Eat Alone, Leading Without Authority, and Competing in the New World of Work. His newest book with Paul Hill is titled Never Lead Alone: 10 Shifts from Leadership to Teamship*. Whenever I'm having a conversation with someone about getting better at coaching, it's almost always through the lens of, “How do I do it well?” In this conversation, Keith and I explore another perspective most of us miss: how does the team do coaching better for each other. Key Points Good leaders give feedback and hold people accountable. Great leaders ensure the team gives feedback and holds people accountable. Teamship starts right at the start. Organizations like e.l.f. Beauty begin these practices during onboarding. We over index on mindset. Starting with the right practices will shape the beliefs that helps teamship emerge. Use an open 360 where people share one thing they appreciate/admire/respect and one thing they suggest. The 5/5/5 Learning Roadmap invites team members to share a struggle, respond to questions, and receive feedback. We're used to feedback being directive. Feedback from peers is data. We can consider it without acting on it.
