Traits like cognitive flexibility and impulse control strongly influence student grades and test scores to such an extent that they may be best learned in an academic context. Amy and Mike invited educator Ariel Lieberman to explore the relationship between the three core executive functions and test prep. What are five things you will learn in this episode? What are the core executive functions and why are they important?  How do weak EF skills get in the way of a student's test prep?  Why is executive function best learned in a relevant academic context? What are ideal strategies to build EF skills within the framework of test prep? Does remote instruction influence the effectiveness of EF coaching? MEET OUR GUEST Ariel Akselrad Lieberman is the founder of Your Best Prep, a tutoring company based in Westchester County, NY that helps high school students, both neurotypical and those with learning differences, master the standardized test prep process and achieve their academic goals.  Prior to founding Your Best Prep, Ariel wrote SAT and AP curriculum for Ivy Consulting Group in New York City, where she also worked as a GED tutor for young adults in the criminal justice system as a member of the Ivy League Tutors Foundation.  Ariel has an M.Ed from Manhattanville College School of Education, where she studied Secondary Special Education and was a recipient of the Dean's Award for Innovative Teaching, and a B.A. in history from SUNY-Purchase College, from which she graduated summa cum laude.  Ariel holds a Professional Certificate in Learning Differences (LD) and Neurodiversity with a Specialization in Executive Function through the Landmark College Institute for Research & Training.

How to Build Lasting Customer Relationships and Boost Growth Christoph Senn and Mehak Gandhi propose that B2B companies rethink their growth logic in their recent book Triple Fit Strategy. They lay out the Triple Fit Strategy framework to help companies escape the product-centric mindset and put customers at the heart of their business strategy. Companies using this framework can contribute 10x more to their customers' success and potentially double account values in less than three years. Summary of Triple Fit Strategy Senn and Gandhi suggest a bold new way of doing business that shifts the focus from traditional product selling to a fully customer-centric approach. Their Triple Fit Strategy challenges the old "us and them" mentality, encouraging suppliers and customers to collaborate as if they were a single entity. The result? Businesses that grow far beyond what either party could achieve alone. One Company? At its core, the Triple Fit Strategy puts customers at the centre of three critical areas: planning, execution, and resources. The strategy revolves around a simple and powerful question: What if we - supplier and customer - were one company? Drawing on over two decades of research, the authors argue that companies adopting this framework can contribute ten times more to their customers' success while doubling account values in under three years. Proven Results This isn't just theory. The book shares lessons from global giants like BASF, GE, Microsoft, and Danish shipping leader Maersk, which used the strategy to unlock hundreds of millions of dollars in new opportunities with a New Zealand partner. Backed by a database of over 10,000 cases, the Triple Fit Strategy offers practical tools to bring customers into your company's internal processes, helping to redefine customer relationships, allocate resources wisely, and achieve faster, more meaningful breakthroughs. Business cases The book includes real-life business cases from 3M, Agrana, BASF, Best Buy, BMW, Danone, db Audio, DSM, Evonik, Hillebrand Gori, Indicia, Konica Minolta, Maersk, Marriott, MUREX, Natura, P&G, Sonos, Thermo Fisher, Unilever, Vodafone, and WMF/Schaerer. For Companies Without Large Budgets? Senn and Gandhi outline three practical steps for businesses without a large budget for external consultancy: 1. Create a total business view by analysing business relationships within the Triple Fit canvas. 2. Understand internal politics and identify which stakeholders on both sides will support your case. 3. Foster a mindset of strategic alignment between supplier and customer. For businesses ready to step away from the "product-first" mindset, this book is a game-changer. See more about the book here.

Ready to learn the history, philosophy, and practice of an experienced professional in the test prep industry? MEET OUR GUEST Meet Kate Fisher, who grew up in Englewood, NJ, and graduated cum laude from Horace Mann School, where she remains an active part of the community and is a member of the Alumni Council. Private tutoring is not Kate's side hustle; rather, she deliberately chose to pursue it as a full-time career because she loves teaching and values cultivating genuine and impactful relationships with her students and their families beyond the boundaries so often required by traditional academic and classroom environments. Kate is an energetic and patient tutor (and cheerleader!) who is able to quickly and effectively accommodate her students' needs. Her tutoring is creative and adaptive, providing her students with the support and skills they need to achieve their goals. Kate has worked with thousands of students during her career as a full-time tutor, which she began as an undergraduate in 2008. As a part-time teacher at Kaplan Test Prep, she taught ACT, SAT, and SHSAT in both in-person and online classrooms. By 2010, Kate expanded her tutoring repertoire to include both the ISEE and SSAT, as well as various AP exams, SAT Subject Tests, and high school and college admissions consulting. She spent 2013 as a full-time instructor, teaching classes and tutoring students throughout the tristate area. In addition to training part-time tutors and developing teaching materials, Kate taught and tutored low-income students through her involvement in partnerships with the NYC Department of Education. In 2014, Kate was promoted to manager of content and curriculum, spearheading product and course revisions for the 2015 PSAT and 2016 SAT test changes. After returning to tutoring full-time, Kate joined an elite, boutique firm in 2016 and quickly became one of their most requested tutors. From 2020 to 2022, Kate joined the company full-time and was not only the top-grossing tutor but also served as Director of School Partnerships and trained other tutors to work with neurodiverse students. Kate also singlehandedly wrote the company's e-book on Executive Function during this period.  Kate is well positioned to help students with a wide variety of learning differences. In addition to her extensive experience as a tutor, she is a lifelong activist for the Autism community, and has been volunteering with children and adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder since her childhood. Kate holds a Professional Certificate in Learning Differences (LD) and Neurodiversity with a Specialization in Executive Function through the Landmark College Institute for Research & Training. In early 2023, Kate recruited an elite team of like minded tutors and founded Kate Fisher Tutoring (KFT) because she believes that one-on-one tutoring can transform students' lives and their relationships with learning. KFT focuses on effectively connecting families to top private educators who help their children efficiently meet—and exceed—their goals. KFT prides itself on organic growth generated through word-of-mouth referrals based on the success of the work Kate and her team do whether EF coaching, test prep, or academic support and enrichment.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Apply now to CE's second Research Training Program, published by CE on January 3, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum. What we have learned from our pilot and when our next program is happening TL;DR: We are excited to announce the second round of our Research Training Program. This online program is designed to equip participants with the tools and skills needed to identify, compare, and recommend the most effective charities, interventions, and organisations. It is a full-time (35 hours per week), fully cost-covered program that will run remotely for 12 weeks. [APPLY HERE] Deadline for application: January 28, 2024. The program dates are April 15 - July 5, 2024. If you are progressing to the last stage of the application process you will receive a final decision by the 15th of March the latest. Please let us know if you need a decision before that date. What have we learned from our pilot? The theory of change for the Research Training Program has three outputs: helping train people to switch into impactful research positions, creating intervention reports that influence CE's decisions of which new organisations to start, and creating evaluations that help organisations have the most impact and funders to make impact maximising decisions. We have outlined what we have learned about each of these aspects below: Intervention reports: For eight out of the eleven weeks, the sixteen research fellows have investigated fifteen cause areas, created forty-six shallow reviews, and written twenty-two deep dives, five of which have already been published on the EA forum (find them here). Although we are planning some changes to improve the fellows' experience in the program, we are deeply impressed by these results and look forward to replicating them with a slightly different approach. People: Since the program ended only a couple of weeks ago, it is too early to tell what career switches will happen because of the program. We have some early and very promising results with two research fellows already having made career changes that we consider highly impactful. If you are currently hiring and are interested in people with intervention prioritisation skills applying, please contact us. Charity evaluations: Traditionally, Charity Entrepreneurship has focused most of its research on investigating the potential impact of interventions. We believe that more impact-focused accountability is essential for the sector, and we would like to support the evaluated organisations and funders in making more informed decisions. This is why at the end of the program the research fellows focused on writing charity evaluations in group projects. We were too confident in our timelines and are planning a major restructuring of this part of the program. However, we are happy that three evaluations could be shared directly with the evaluated organisations. We are looking forward to learning from other evaluators in the space. What will the next program look like? Content: The program will start with a week of providing an overview of the most important research skills. The program's first part will then focus on writing cause area reports in groups in which fellows take a problem and identify the most promising solutions. Afterwards, the fellows investigate those most promising ideas through a shallow review. After conducting a shallow review, research fellows will evaluate the most promising interventions through a deep dive, which will be polished and published, and influence decision-making within Charity Entrepreneurship and beyond. After these reports are published, there will be some time to think about careers and apply to different opportunities, before jumping into some charity evaluations that can influence the decisions of funders as well as strategic decisions within the evaluated o...

There is a scarcity of specific training opportunities for the niche skills required, such as intervention prioritization and cost-effectiveness analyses, which are hard to learn through traditional avenues. Ideas:  A lack of capacity for exhaustive investigation means there is a multitude of potentially impactful intervention ideas that remain unexplored. There may be great ideas being missed, as with limited time, we will only get to the most obvious solutions that other people are likely to have thought of as well. Evaluation: Unlike the for-profit sector, the nonprofit sector lacks clear metrics for assessing an organization's actual impact. External evaluations can help nonprofits evaluate and reorganize their own effectiveness and also allow funders to choose the highest impact opportunities available to them- potentially unlocking more funding (sometimes limited by lack of public external evaluation).

A successful pilot programme that has seen over 8,000 students in over 100 secondary schools across Ireland learn about machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) is set to be expanded in the coming school year. The pilot programme, which was rolled out to schools right across the country in Dublin, Cork, Galway and Kildare, is the first of its kind and has been marked as a huge success after its debut year. Students experienced a fully immersive experience into the technologies that are giving the world self-driving cars, and manufacturing robots, and they learned about the jobs of the future. Machine learning and artificial intelligence programme to be expanded in Irish schools With the support of Huawei Ireland, the programme was developed by Science Foundation Ireland Centre for Research Training in Machine Learning (ML-Labs) based at University College Dublin (UCD) and Technological University Dublin (TU Dublin). The programme was delivered via CSinc, a national research group based in TU Dublin and has ambitions to be rolled out again for the academic year 2022/2023 via the online learning platform CSLINC. The AI And ML module was developed by Joyce Mahon, an ML-Labs PhD student at UCD supervised by Brett Becker and Brian Mac Namee. Speaking about the programme, Vera Leader, Principal of Boherbue Comprehensive School in Cork, which saw 25 transition year students take part in the programme this year, said: “Our school is in a rural area so computers and engineering are high on the local agenda – but this programme has opened our students' eyes even more to the possibilities for artificial intelligence and machine learning. It has also challenged students in their thinking about what to study in the 5th and 6th year and whether they should consider studying STEM subjects in college – this wouldn't have happened without the programme. The structure of the programme meant that it was designed with both students and teachers in mind – so it has been very progressive and we look forward to offering the programme to students again next year.” Michael Moynihan, TD for Cork North-West, said: “This course's approach has helped students gain great insight into how AI actually works, to demystify and remove barriers to more advanced learning, and to emphasize the important roles of ethics and bias in AI. I'm delighted the Boherbue students have got such value from the module and I applaud Huawei Ireland and ML-Lab's work in this area and intention to expand the course in the coming school year.” Module Projects The module contains lesson plans, presentations, videos, classwork, homework and solutions for teachers. In addition, code and accompanying instructional materials are provided, to introduce various machine learning algorithms if the teacher desires a more technical approach, with minimal setup, no specific software requirements, and no cost to participate. Classes can be adapted by teachers to support diverse student groups, and the course authors recognize that for some students this might be their first-time exploring issues relating to algorithms and data. Students who successfully complete the course receive a Certificate of Completion from the TU Dublin research group. Speaking about doing the course in Boherbue, transition year student, Charlotte Murphy, said: “This programme has been a great experience for me, and didn't require any previous knowledge of coding so allowed me to get a grasp of the basics of AI and machine learning very quickly. It gave me a fresh perspective on the digital area and the relevance of STEM courses to the future world of technology. The insights and experience gained during the programme were invaluable.” Speaking about the expansion of the programme, Luke McDonnell, Head of PR for Huawei Ireland, said: “Artificial intelligence and machine learning have long captured our attention in science fiction stories, but many of the things that we have previously imagined are now a ...

Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science, Simon Harris, TD, has today launched the 2019 Science Foundation Ireland (SFI) annual report. This highlights Ireland ranking 1st in the world for quality of science in immunology and 2nd in agricultural sciences, as measured by citations per paper in InCites (Clarivate Analytics). Science Foundation Ireland annual report launched for 2019 The report demonstrates significant impact and value for money from investment in science, technology, engineering, and maths (STEM) for the Irish public. It also evaluates the SFI’s vital role in building world-leading research, from Ireland’s contribution to immunology in the global response to Covid-19, to expertise in delivering innovative solutions that address societal and economic challenges. Welcoming the report, Minister Harris said: “The crucial role excellent research, international collaboration, and innovative talent plays in helping us to respond to global challenges including Covid-19 has never been clearer, so today I am extremely pleased to launch SFI’s 2019 Annual Report. Recent months have shown us the ability of Ireland’s research community to work together and deliver solutions for Ireland through SFIs Covid-19 Rapid Response Funding Call. I am delighted to see that in 2019 SFI supported researchers engaged in 2,894 international academic collaborations with 75 countries, building our global footprint. I welcome the support provided by SFI to develop Ireland’s talent through programmes such as the SFI Centres for Research Training, an outstanding collaboration with 11 Higher Education Institutions, and 90 industry partners to develop innovative Ph.D. training programmes. I look forward to working with SFI and the research community in the future, to support excellent research that positively impacts our society and economy.” Prof Peter Clinch, Chairman of SFI, stated: “The achievements outlined in the 2019 SFI annual report clearly demonstrate the crucial role that science and research play in our national effort to address the many societal and economic challenges we face. I am delighted to see that public investment in science through SFI has supported 1,860 industry collaborations. This, along with 15 spin-out companies recorded in 2019, shows that investment in research is a key driver of competitiveness and will be a substantial driver of economic recovery in the coming years. A key priority for SFI is to support excellent talent in STEM and the launch of the SFI Frontiers for the Future programme provided opportunities for independent investigators to conduct highly innovative, collaborative research, while also providing opportunities for high-risk, high-reward research projects.” Looking to the future, Prof Mark Ferguson, Director General of Science Foundation Ireland and Chief Scientific Adviser to the Government of Ireland, said “The Covid-19 pandemic has proven the critical importance of science and research in delivering solutions that support our future health, environment, and quality of life.

In episode 5 of our STS Series, Inger Mewburn, Associate Professor and Director of Research Training at the Australian National University, founder of the popular blog The Thesis Whisperer and author of How to Tame Your PhD, Becoming an Academic, How To Be An Academic, and How to Fix Your Academic Writing Trouble, chats to our own Jodie-Lee Trembath. They talk about what it means to be a post-disciplinary or interdisciplinary scholar using ethnography to understand social phenomena, about machine learning and the values that are reflected through the machines we create, and how sometimes these values are ones that we don't really want to see, and about the future of research and work where algorithms and technology form a collaborative effort between humans and robots. QUOTES (full list on thefamiliarstrange.com) “[Machine learning] is a broad area of study, and that's one thing you don't see from a distance is how broad it is. We like to do what we call human-in-the-loop type of machine learning, which is a co-creation of something. So, what we're using is the machine to, sort of, both capture our knowledge and reflect it back at us, but at the same time the machine's training us … When a social scientist or an anthropologist or anyone for that matter, who's looking to collaborate with a machine, it's a collaboration: they shape you, you shape them, what you make is this nexus in between.” “Ethnography is just a really considered look at what's right in front of your face – the familiar strange, right. As soon as you slow things down, start to take things apart, you notice things that, in the moment, just pass you by.” LINKS AND CITATIONS (full list on website) If you'd like to read Inger's blog The Thesis Whisperer, you can find it here: https://thesiswhisperer.com/ This anthropology podcast is supported by the Australian Anthropological Society, the ANU's College of Asia and the Pacific and College of Arts and Social Sciences, and the Australian Centre for the Public Awareness of Science, and is produced in collaboration with the American Anthropological Association.

A century ago—at the height of World War I—history’s most lethal influenza virus erupted in an army camp in Kansas, moved east with American troops, then exploded, killing as many as 100 million people worldwide. The disease claimed more lives in twenty-four weeks than AIDS has claimed in thirty-seven years, and more than the Black Death killed in a century. But this was not the Middle Ages, and 1918 marked the first collision between modern science and epidemic disease. KEYNOTE SPEAKER: John M. Barry is an award-winning and New York Times best-selling author whose book The Great Influenza: The Story of the Deadliest Pandemic in History was named the year’s outstanding book on science or medicine by The National Academies of Science’s in 2004.
