Detta är ett avsnitt från september 2025.8 februari 2003. Vid Kennedy Space Center i Florida är det fullt av folk. Rymdfärjan Columbia ska återvända till jorden efter 16 dagar i rymden, och familjer och personal har samlats för att välkomna astronauterna tillbaka. Men färjan dyker aldrig upp. Och snart kommer rapporter om märkliga ljusfenomen över Arizona och New Mexico. Ljusfenomen som en gång var en rymdfarkost.Detta är berättelsen om Columbia-katastrofen. Ett rutinmässigt uppdrag, som slutade i tragedi.Inläsare: Tind SonebyManus och research: Emmeli NyblomRedaktör: Alex HaegerProducent: Oliver BergmanKällor:Astronauts Memorial Foundation.

On this episode of The Ty Brady Way, Ty sits down with Tim Harrison, founder of the Coaching Innovation Lab and a man who works at the intersection of human development and technology. Tim is six foot eight, a former Division I basketball player at Rice University, a certified executive coach, and someone who has spent his career figuring out how to help people realize their potential, first through coaching, then through a nonprofit, and now through AI-powered systems that make that work scale in ways that weren't possible even a few years ago. The story starts with a season-ending injury two years into his college basketball career. Tim was an Under Armour All-American, an Adidas All-American, and had every reason to believe the game would take him somewhere. When that door closed, he got access to an executive coach through a university program, and that single experience changed the direction of his life. He started studying psychology, reading personal development books, and saw a clear thread connecting all of it. He knew that kind of transformation was going to matter more to him than anything else he was learning in school. What happened next is one of the more unusual origin stories you'll hear. At 21, Tim got certified as an executive coach through a program run in partnership with MD Anderson Cancer Center, the number one cancer research center in the world. The program was designed for hospital department heads. Tim was in the cohort with them. He was bold enough to ask several of them if he could coach them after the program ended. Most said yes. At 22, he was coaching senior leaders at a major medical institution, building a practice through referrals while simultaneously launching a nonprofit to bring that same kind of coaching to young people in underserved communities. He landed his dream job at a big four consulting firm coming out of college, signed the contract, and then walked away from it. The pandemic, the social justice crisis after George Floyd, and a deep personal conviction that he was meant to contribute more than a corporate ladder could offer pushed him to take a leap with no clear financial path forward. He started the nonprofit anyway. He says the cost of not doing it felt heavier than the risk of doing it, and that calculation has guided most of his major decisions since. Ty and Tim get into AI in a way that actually makes sense for people who are skeptical or intimidated. Tim's framing is simple: AI is not a new subject to study. It's a new tool to reach for while doing the things you're already doing. He breaks down the four zones everyone operates in, from incompetence to genius, and makes the case that AI should be filling the gaps in the lower zones so you can spend more time in the zone where only you can do the work. His line is worth writing down: do what you do best, let AI do the rest. The story that really lands in this conversation happened in 2025 when a political shift in federal funding wiped out the vast majority of revenue from Tim's biggest contract, a multimillion dollar coaching study for biomedical PhD students. He couldn't control what happened. What he could control was how he responded. He used AI to build a custom chatbot trained on all the program's research and operational data, which handled over 500 coach support requests that his team would have otherwise had to address manually. He built an automation that analyzed every coaching session report in real time and populated a live dashboard, eliminating a month-long data analysis process and saving thousands of dollars. He took those savings and launched a new program training entrepreneurs on AI. That program recouped its investment within months. Then a judge blocked the funding cuts and the original program was reinstated. He ended up with two growing revenue streams instead of one, and a leaner, more efficient operation than he started with. He's clear that AI wasn't the hero of that story. The person who knew how to use it was. His advice for anyone who feels stuck is practical and specific. Define where you want to go. Get honest about where you actually are right now, not the catastrophized version, the specific version. Then find the smallest tangible step you would actually take and do it immediately. Don't wait until tomorrow. The momentum that comes from taking even a small action is real, and it compounds. His closing message is the one that ties everything together: who you are is how you prompt. AI multiplies everything, the good and the bad. The only thing you can control is who you are when you're multiplied. So invest in yourself first, then pick up the tools.

Or what is leftover at restaurants each night since they cannot reuse it for the next day? Or the bakery that bakes too many loaves of bread? For many years, the food was just thrown away and left to decompose over the next 50 years in some landfill. BarbaraBronstein tackled this problem 12 years ago by founding Second Servings, a non-profit that repurposes that food. She joins us today to explain how this works. 4:50 pm The road to getting the United States Post Office to issue a stamp honoring a special person, event or holiday is an arduous and long one – minimum of 3 years - indeed fraught with many pitfalls and requirements. In the case of commemorating a religious holiday – which becomes an annual affair – the rules are even more stringent. That's why news that the Postal Service will issue a second Diwali stamp this October – the first one was issued ten years ago on October 5, 2016 – was greeted with joy as it features a rangoli pattern crafted by Houston-area artist Sangita Bhutada and photographed by Bijay Dixit. To tell us more about this achievement, we are joined by Sangita and Bijay themselves.5:20 pm With a little bit of persuasion from our Indian Consul General DC Manjunath, Houstonians got a last-minute treat yesterday in the hurriedly put together Mango Tasting Festival at Keemat Grocers on Hillcroft. There were three varieties of mangoes – Chausa, Kesar and Langra - which about 50 shoppers and other community leaders got a chance to taste. Dr. C. B. Singh, the Deputy General Manager of the Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority of India traveled to five US cities withthese boxes of Indian mangoes and he joins us from New York City to tell us of future plans.

After building a career in enterprise risk management and rising to senior leadership in banking, Kenzel Fallen '12 and her husband Tio turned a shared passion for specialty coffee into Three Keys Coffee — a roastery and cafe focused on sustainability, creativity and music. What started as a side project during COVID has since landed on the shelves of Trader Joe's and been named Food & Wine's “Best Coffee Roaster in Texas.”As CEO of Three Keys Coffee, Kenzel is combining her Rice MBA training with her risk management mindset to navigate the daily challenges of owning a rapidly growing business. On this episode, she joins co-host Brian Jackson '21 to chat about the inception of Three Keys Coffee, why entrepreneurship was a surprising path for her, and how Rice Business provided the right launchpad.Episode Guide:00:00 Meet Kenzel Fallen01:02 How Love Brought Her to Rice Business05:27 From Risk to Coffee Entrepreneurship09:13 Shopping Your Values12:00 Working as a Couple14:59 COVID Launch and Growth18:08 Sourcing and Supply Chain21:35 Jazz Brand Inspiration25:03 Awards and Recognition30:41 Coffee Impact and Purpose35:04 What's Next for Three Keys37:31 Distinguished Alumni Honor39:10 Advice for Aspiring FoundersThe Owl Have You Know Podcast is a production of Rice Business and is produced by University FM.Episode Quotes:Your network is your education04:36: Sometimes when people hear that, you know, your network is your net worth, it's almost more of a sense of, someone can just get you an introduction, or they can get you in a room. And it's not so much about having adjacency to people. I think that's more, that's like social climbing, right? But when you network, I see that as sharing. I see that as exchanging information and insights. And so, for me, when I think of that phrase, like "network is your net worth," I look at that as enhancing your education, enhancing your perspective, enhancing how deeply you understand the world and society that we live and work in. And sometimes you do have to rely on a lot of different experiences and perspectives. And for me, that's how that network expands.Bringing the cafe experience at home22:50: Jazz was actually one of the genres that helped with the advent of, you know, vinyl albums. You know, people wanted to be able to take that live music experience but be able to enjoy it and celebrate it at home. Prior to some of the early jazz recordings, there really was just, like, classical music that had actually been put on vinyl. And so jazz allowed people to bring home that concert and that live band experience, and that's the same thing that we kind of wanted to do with coffee. It's like, "Hey, you don't have to go to a shop. You get the right beans. You understand how to make them. You can have that cafe experience at home." And so kind of drawing that parallel as well in the way that we wanted to create coffee and share coffee with people.The email that changed everything25:25: I remember getting an email that was like, "Hey, we're thinking about doing, you know, highlighting different coffee shops. Can you send us some pictures of your shop?" And it was from Food & Wine, but I'm just thinking, "Oh, they're just going to highlight a bunch of folks." I had no clue. I truly had no clue until the announcement was made that we were named. They had us on the list as the best in Texas. We were just, I mean, mind-blown.Show Links: Three Keys CoffeeTranscriptGuest Profile:Kenzel Fallen | Rice BusinessKenzel Fallen | LinkedIn

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 7-02-2026: Dr. Dawn devotes the first half of the show to a nuanced defense of GLP-1 receptor agonists, arguing the polarized debate treats obesity as a moral failure rather than a physiological one. She recounts the "Marilyn Monroe dress" moment that transformed semaglutide from diabetes drug into elite cosmetic tool, and pushes back on the puritanical framing that behavior change must be earned rather than pharmacologically enabled—noting we don't apply this logic to antihypertensives or statins. Dr. Dawn catalogs visceral fat as a genuine endocrine organ producing over 17 hormones, most of which drive self-perpetuating growth: leptin (this satiety hormone at high levels disables it's own brain receptor), IL-6, TNF-alpha (blocks insulin), resistin (increases insulin resistance and inflammation), PAI-2 (blocks clot breakdown, raising cardiovascular risk), retinol-binding protein 4 (impairs muscle glucose uptake), chemerin (recruits macrophages and directs fat to the belly), and visfatin. Only adiponectin declines with rising visceral fat. It improves insulin sensitivity, suppresses hepatic gluconeogenesis, and blocks IL-6 . Dr. Dawn describes GLP-1's neurobiological action: receptors in the hypothalamus, brainstem, hippocampus, and mesolimbic reward system, with the drugs quieting the brain's salience network so food loses its intrusive pull. Taste buds shift, sweet and salty become muted, and reward circuits stop firing on cheat foods—creating a window during which behavioral change becomes possible. Dr. Dawn frames group support through self-determination theory (autonomy, competence, relatedness), arguing GLP-1s create the cognitive bandwidth for behavioral programs to succeed. A Tufts study of patients discontinuing after 10% weight loss found those enrolled in behavioral support programs regained about three times less weight than usual-care controls, outperforming even medically-tailored meal plans. Group engagement doubled the time patients stayed on the medication. A November 2025 Nature study piggybacked on deep brain stimulation research at Penn. Electrodes implanted in the nucleus accumbens of post-bariatric patients recorded low-frequency brain activity surges during food-noise episodes on drug free patients. A third participant who started tirzepatide showed complete silencing of that signature—the first direct electrical confirmation that GLP-1s suppresses compulsive food thoughts in the reward center. RNA sequencing of adipose tissue from 25 obese patients before and after bariatric surgery, compared to 24 lean controls, revealed persistent epigenetic changes even after weight loss. Lipid-associated inflammatory macrophages drop but retain some of their pro-inflammatory epigenetics, explaining the well-known slippery slope back to obesity—and why Dr. Dawn suggests GLP-1s may work best as intermittent tools when behavioral maintenance starts slipping. An emailer asks about long-term smoking versus vaping data. Dr. Dawn notes there is no long-term data yet, but short-term evidence shows e-cigarettes contain nicotine, propylene glycol, reactive oxygen species, and nitrosamines, producing spirometry readings similar to mild COPD in otherwise-healthy vapers. Vaping over a year raises stroke relative risk by 1.62 and nearly doubles MI risk, and combining smoking and vaping produces a multiplicative rather than additive harm. Data on cancer will take decades to emerge. Researchers built a functioning underwater breathing apparatus for cockroaches with electrodes attached to brain and sensory organs allowing remote-controlled direction while preserving natural obstacle-navigation autonomy. The 10mm × 10mm sponge-based oxygen tank uses magnesium dioxide catalyzing hydrogen peroxide breakdown, delivering oxygen through silicone tubes to the roach's spiracles for up to three hours underwater. Deployemenet will improve search-and-rescue in flooded and collapsed structures where dogs cannot reach. A Science Advances paper from Yong Lin Kong's lab at Rice University describes 3D-printing electronic circuits directly onto living tissue. Researchers achieved microwave-focused annealing at sub-200-micrometer resolution. By selectively heating only conductive ink particles (copper, silver, gold) without damaging surrounding tissue, the technique enables printing circuits onto 3D-printed heart valves, tracheas, and ear scaffolds, potentially creating combined graft-and-sensor implants, ingestible diagnostic devices, and perhaps even decorative electronic tattoos. A single-shot reformulation of zanamivir (originally the inhaled flu drug Relenza) provided 76.1% flu protection in a 5,000-participant trial—far exceeding the roughly 40-45% offered by annual flu vaccines. Because zanamivir targets neuraminidase in a way that inactivates it if the virus tries to mutate around the drug, trapping newly-made viral copies inside their host cells, this approach works across all flu strains and could bypass the annual guessing game of trivalent vaccine formulation.

In Thy Will Be Done: George Washington's Legacy of Slavery and the Fight for American Memory (UNC Press, 2026), historian John Garrison Marks tells the story of Americans' long, fraught struggle to come to terms with Washington's legacy of slavery. He traces how politicians, abolitionists, educators, activists, Washington's former slaves and their descendants, and others have remembered, forgotten, and manipulated slavery's place in Washington's story, and how they have wielded versions of that story in the political and cultural fights of their time. Dr. Marks shows how generational struggles over our collective memory of Washington and slavery have always been part of a bigger conversation about defining the United States and its people. As debates about the founders' participation in the system of slavery continue to roil public discourse, Dr. Marks shows with new clarity that Americans have never collectively reconciled Washington's conflicted legacy. By truly grappling with Washington's role as enslaver and emancipator, we may come to better understand the nation and ourselves. This episode considers: the life and legacy of George Washington, the role of myth and memory in the New Republic, and how conflicted legacies continue.

On the eve of America 250, The TechEd Podcast steps away from its usual format to reflect on the American Dream, the values that built the nation, and the ideals that continue to bind us together.In this special episode, Matt Kirchner revisits two of the greatest presidential speeches ever delivered: Ronald Reagan's 1984 address at Pointe du Hoc, honoring the courage and sacrifice of the U.S. Army Rangers on D-Day, and John F. Kennedy's 1962 Rice University speech, challenging America to go to the moon not because it was easy, but because it was hard.One speech looks back on the blood and sacrifice that defended freedom. The other looks forward to the science, ambition and conviction required to advance it. Together, they reveal a shared American creed rooted in courage, righteousness, sacrifice, honor and belief in a future worth building.This episode is a reflection on the values that have carried America for 250 years, and the responsibility of this generation to remember them, renew them and carry them forward._____The Reagan and Kennedy speeches featured in this episode are public domain recordings sourced directly from the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library & Museum and the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library & Museum.We want to hear from you! Send us a text.Instagram - Facebook - YouTube - TikTok - Twitter - LinkedIn

Two Rice alums are shaking up the renewable energy world with Tierra Climate, an AI-powered energy storage platform that's quietly reshaping how the power grid works.Co-founded by Jacob Mansfield (BA '16) and Emma Konet (PMBA '24), Tierra Climate is driven by a shared belief that the transition to clean power needs to happen faster. Both have been passionate about the energy space since early in their careers, and when they saw an opportunity to use AI and software to accelerate the deployment of storage on the grid, they committed fully, leaving stable careers behind to build something that could make a real impact on climate change.They join host Brian Jackson '21 to trace their unlikely path from Citibank trading desks to startup life. They open up about the underlying anxiety of early-stage founding but why entrepreneurship is still worth it, how large-scale batteries are being underutilized on the grid, and the ways the Rice network keeps showing up.Episode Guide:00:00 Introductions & Origin Stories06:29 Founding Tierra Climate11:39 Customers & the Energy Storage Market16:36 The Startup Journey23:11 Taking the Leap & Building with AI29:29 The Rice Network & Industry Trends35:33  What's Next & the Texas PilotThe Owl Have You Know Podcast is a production of Rice Business and is produced by University FM.Episode Quotes:Magic happens when you commit20:13: [Jacob Mansfield] I had a professor in business school that said that magic happens when you commit. There's some sort of like lucky space of serendipity that you invite, and you talk to people, and you clearly come from the space and you understand their pain points, and yet you've kind of left all of that world to try to solve the problem. I think that's pretty compelling for folks. I think it's committing at inception, but it's like a continual process of commitment throughout the entire journey.On finding the courage to go all in18:48: [Emma Konet] I think going into that program, I'm not sure I ever would've quit my job and foregone health insurance and taken the big risk, because I was scared. I mean, I was genuinely like, "Oh, like, that feels really risky. I'm not sure my risk tolerance is there." But through the process of my MBA, I think because Rice is so focused on entrepreneurship, that's kind of in the veins of the MBA program throughout. I basically got convinced that it wasn't as big of a risk as I thought, and I think throughout that program, it just made me realize, you know what? Just do it. Like, it was kind of the "just do it, just take the leap" mentality that pushed me over the edge, and I'm very glad that I went full-time on this. On building something that matters16:11: [Jacob Mansfield] Emma and I used to joke early on this concept of existential dread, which I'm sure founders can relate to. You know, when you work in a big organization, it may get some little nervousness around, like bonus day or when you hear, there's going to be some reorg. But generally speaking, I wasn't concerned, going in day in and day out, that Citibank would be in existence. It was one of the largest companies in the world. And so I think the difference is when you start a company, you do have, like, those butterflies in your stomach or that kind of like, okay, like, I want to make sure that what I'm building is going to amount to something and be meaningful.Show Links: Tierra Climate“Clean Energy's Missing Link” | Rice MagazineTranscriptGuest Profile:Jacob Mansfield | LinkedInEmma Konet | LinkedIn

When Pablo Coello began his medical training, he noticed a persistent gap in healthcare: clinicians and administrators often weren't speaking the same language, and the result was inefficiency that directly affected patient care. That realization ultimately led him to pursue a dual MD/MBA through Baylor College of Medicine and Rice Business.Now an orthopedic surgery resident at UC Health, Pablo brings a dual perspective to medicine — one grounded in clinical practice and another shaped by business training. That combination allows him to think not only about individual patient outcomes, but also about system-wide decisions that affect hospitals and communities.In this episode of Owl Have You Know, hosted by Maya Pomroy '22, Pablo shares why more physicians need business fluency, how teamwork at Rice reshaped the way he practices medicine and what it means to look beyond the exam room to the health of an entire community.Episode Guide:00:00 Meet Pablo Coello01:14 Why Pursue an MBA Alongside an MD03:26 Early Path to Medicine04:13 Harvard Research Summers06:33 OR Inefficiencies Spark Change11:00 Inside the Rice MD MBA13:28 Biggest MBA Takeaways17:01 Advice for Med Students22:16 Defining Success Long Term25:33 Closing ThoughtsThe Owl Have You Know Podcast is a production of Rice Business and is produced by University FM.Episode Quotes:Why a hospital is an entity in a community17:51: Medicine is so much more than just what you do in a clinic, in the OR, in the hospital in general. A hospital is an entity in a community. It's not just a place you go. I've noticed this even…especially now that I'm actively practicing and training. There are people that actively need your help. And if you broaden your skills, eventually your level of impact is not just going to be on a patient-to-patient basis. It's on a community as a whole. And that's why I got my MBA, and that's why I would argue as any med student in the Houston area, any med student in general that has access to a business school, especially one as good as Rice, in their backyard or anywhere close, should ideally, if it's financially possible and the timeline works out, get an MBA so that they can have that impact in their community eventually.Medicine is a team sport14:02: Medicine is a team sport. You hear that all the time because we interact with other teams all day, every day. As an orthopedic surgery resident, our field is very specialized. So as a result, we get called by a lot of people, and we have to also call a lot of other people to help us manage things that we simply do not know how to manage. And I think having learned what I learned in the MBA helped a lot in terms of managing a lot of different things at once, different voices, if you will, in the clinical setting, which I did not really expect, to tell you the truth. But it helped because I learned also to not rely on myself as much.On fixing the structures that fail patients08:53: The supportive structures around the OR and other clinical aspects are simply not where they should be; we are failing the patient, and we are doing that over and over and over and over again. And it's affecting the overall health of the community. It's affecting the overall opinion of the community on the healthcare system, and it's costing the hospital—whatever hospital—thousands of dollars a day, every day for eternity. So I'm not going to sit here and tell you that I got this MBA because I wanted to be like this knight in shining armor, and I was going to solve all the problems, because I'm not. That's unrealistic, and I get it. But I want to be part of the solution, if you will.Show Links: TranscriptGuest Profile:Pablo Coello | LinkedIn

The Gulf has been a key target for Iranian missiles and drones. Iran has struck infrastructure, oil and gas installations, civilian areas, and US military bases. These attacks have struck at the heart of the Gulf's image as a safe and stable environment. While the region deals with Iranian attacks, Saudi Arabia and the UAE have been working out how to deal with each other. The Saudi-Emirati rivialry has been rumbling on for a number of years now, and during this conflict, they both have conflicting ideas about how to deal with Iran, who they should be allied with, and how they can protect their economies. This week, how have the Saudi and Emirati economies been impacted by the war? Why did the UAE leave OPEC? And what do these two competing regional powers what in Iran? Joining us to discuss the UAE and how it has been impacted by the war is Giorgio Cafiero (@GiorgioCafiero), CEO of Gulf State Analytics (@GulfStateAnalyt), and adjunct assistant professor at Georgetown University (@Georgetown). And to guide us through Saudi Arabia, we speak with Kristian Coates Ulrichsen (@Dr_Ulrichsen), Fellow for the Middle East at Rice University's Baker Institute for Public Policy (@BakerInstitute). This podcast is written and produced by Hugo Goodridge (@hugogoodridge). Theme music by Omar al-Fil with additional music from Audio Network.

Over eight books he has built a unified argument that Bigfoot, fairies, UFOs, near death experiences, and ghosts are not separate phenomena but facets of the same ancient, shape-shifting presence. His 2022 masterwork Ecology of Souls is considered by peers to be among the most important books in ufology in decades, and was included in Rice University's curriculum for first year PhD students in religion. His footnotes are legendary. His thinking is genuinely original. A trained tuba player who studied under Canadian Brass legend Fred Mills, Josh brings the same obsessive attention to detail to paranormal research that he once applied to music. And his central argument — that everything weird points back to the same door — is impossible to dismiss. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Jeffrey Oakman is the Founding Director of the New Jersey AI Hub, an innovation center affiliated with Princeton University that accelerates artificial intelligence research, entrepreneurship, and workforce development for the state of New Jersey. Under his leadership, the AI Hub has brought together major partners such as Princeton University and Microsoft, launched a 6,500-square-foot coworking and event space, and initiated statewide programs including a registered apprenticeship in AI and machine learning. Jeffrey previously served as policy advisor to the Governor of New Jersey and has a background that includes working in the White House and earning an additional degree after his undergraduate years at Rice University. In this episode… AI is moving fast enough to make entire industries feel like they are trying to build the plane while flying it. So how can a state turn that uncertainty into real economic opportunity? For Jeffrey Oakman, the key lies in building the right ecosystem around AI, not just chasing the newest tool. Drawing from his experience in economic development, workforce policy, and innovation strategy, Jeffrey explains that New Jersey's approach is about connecting research institutions, startups, industry partners, and talent pipelines so ideas can move from labs into real-world use. His central argument is clear: AI's future hinges on expanding access, strengthening training, and encouraging responsible adoption so workers and smaller organizations can keep pace rather than fall behind. Tune in to this episode of the Smart Business Revolution Podcast as John Corcoran interviews Jeffrey Oakman, Founding Director of the New Jersey AI Hub about shaping New Jersey's AI future. They discuss building an AI innovation hub, supporting startups, preparing workers through upskilling, and using AI to accelerate scientific discovery. Jeffrey also talks about responsible AI adoption.

« Iran, Gaza, Russie, Venezuela, ou encore Mali… Rarement porteurs de bonnes nouvelles, ces pays et régions du monde ont monopolisé une bonne part de l'attention médiatique ces derniers mois, pointe Le Monde Afrique, et certains sont même au centre de l'actualité depuis des années. Un étrange paradoxe, parfois ignoré du grand public, veut pourtant que l'accès à une presse libre et indépendante sur ces terrains d'intérêt majeur soit en grande partie entravé, empêché par des autorités soucieuses de maîtriser le récit qu'elles entendent imposer au monde ». C'est donc le cas au Mali, relève Le Monde Afrique… Dans ce pays, « ébranlé par les attaques d'ampleur menées par les jihadistes et les indépendantistes touareg, le 25 avril, la diffusion de la plupart des médias francophones (dont RFI), accusés de "désinformation", est suspendue ; une pratique également adoptée par les juntes au Niger et au Burkina Faso. Ces trois pays du Sahel connaissent une "fermeture progressive de l'espace de l'information et des campagnes gouvernementales pour influer sur les narratifs, censurer et punir ceux qui peuvent y contrevenir". C'est ce qu'estimait récemment sur RFI, rapporte le journal, Ousmane Diallo, chercheur au bureau régional d'Amnesty International pour l'Afrique de l'Ouest et l'Afrique centrale ». Sous couvert d'anonymat, un journaliste confiait à RFI que « "le Sahel est devenu un goulag de l'information". (…) Nous savons que nous sommes surveillés, poursuivait-il. Que ce soit au Burkina, au Mali ou au Niger, des journalistes sont menacés, intimidés, si bien que nous entrons dans une phase de "zombification" des citoyens sahéliens. Comme à l'époque soviétique, les citoyens sont embrigadés. (…) Ce n'est d'ailleurs pas pour rien que ces pays ont des accointances avec la Russie de Vladimir Poutine ». On ne critique pas la Russie… Justement, « à Bamako, on ne badine pas avec la Russie », lance Afrik.com. Afrik.com qui nous raconte ce qui est arrivé à Ibrahima Tamega, militant pro-démocratie engagé pour le retour à l'ordre constitutionnel : « Ibrahima Tamega a été interpellé le 23 mai dans la capitale malienne. Il est soupçonné d'avoir participé à l'apparition de graffitis hostiles à Moscou et aurait été maintenu plusieurs jours au commissariat du troisième arrondissement de Bamako. L'affaire pourrait sembler mineure, mais elle est en réalité très politique, affirme Afrik.com. Car depuis la rupture avec Paris, le pouvoir malien a fait de son rapprochement avec Moscou l'un des piliers de son récit souverainiste. La Russie est présentée comme un partenaire qui respecte Bamako, qui ne donne pas de leçons et qui accompagne les Forces armées maliennes dans leur reconquête du territoire. Il n'y a pas d'autres récits possibles. (…) L'affaire Tamega révèle donc la nervosité du pouvoir face à toute critique de son nouvel allié stratégique, relève encore le site panafricain. Dans un espace politique déjà rétréci, où partis, opposants et activistes évoluent sous pression, l'inscription murale devient un acte de contestation. Et la réponse policière, un message adressé à tous ceux qui seraient tentés de discuter l'axe Bamako-Moscou ». Protéger le chef plutôt que protéger la nation… Enfin, toujours à propos du Mali, à lire cet article publié par le site The Conversation et repris par Jeune Afrique. Un article signé des chercheurs Salah Ben Hammou, de Rice University aux États-Unis, et Hiba Naciri, de l'Université de Montréal. Un article intitulé : « au Mali, pourquoi la personnalisation du pouvoir autour d'Assimi Goïta est dangereuse ». Les deux chercheurs constatent que le général Assimi Goïta, qui cumule les fonctions de chef de l'État et, depuis peu, de ministre de la Défense, « a concentré le pouvoir autour de la présidence ». Et, « à mesure que le pouvoir se concentre autour d'un seul dirigeant, soulignent-ils, la prise de décision s'articule autour de la loyauté personnelle plutôt que des intérêts de l'armée ou des intérêts nationaux au sens large ». Autrement dit, analysent les deux chercheurs, « la concentration du pouvoir autour d'un seul dirigeant affaiblit souvent les institutions nécessaires à une gouvernance efficace et à la stabilité à long terme. Les forces armées peuvent être réorganisées moins en fonction de l'efficacité opérationnelle qu'en fonction de la protection du dirigeant contre ses rivaux et les menaces internes ». Et « sur le champ de bataille, ces dynamiques peuvent nuire à la coordination et réduire la capacité de l'armée à répondre efficacement à la violence des insurgés ».

Professor Jonathan Miles' path to teaching organizational behavior at Rice Business is anything but conventional. Before entering academia, he earned a degree in computer science, worked in IT and even launched a comic book store — experiences that shaped his perspective on leadership, influence and human behavior.Today, Miles is known for challenging students to think differently about power, workplace dynamics and ethical decision-making. A co-adviser at the Virani Undergraduate School of Business and voted “Teacher of the Year” by our undergraduate business students, he has built courses that push both MBAs and undergraduates to confront uncomfortable truths about what it really takes to lead and succeed.In this episode, Miles joins host Maya Pomroy ‘22 to discuss why so many talented people struggle to advocate for themselves, what his comic book store taught him about entrepreneurship, and why influence is often misunderstood. He also shares his perspective on AI's growing impact on the workplace, the future of Rice Business and his hope for bringing undergrads and graduate students together in ways no business school has done before.Episode Guide:0:00  Introduction & Teacher of the Year Award2:29  Growing Up: Family, Influences, and Early Life4:40  The Winding Path: Journalism to Engineering to Computer Science7:40  The Value of Exploring Outside Your Major9:57  From IT to Teaching: Discovering a Calling15:56  Teaching Power & Influence at Rice17:55  The Biggest Misconception About Influence at Work22:15  Professionalism & Ethics: Why People Break Their Own Moral Frameworks25:04  AI in the Workplace: Hype, Risk, and the Road Ahead30:19  What Jon Hopes Students Take Away32:27  The Comic Book Store: Lessons in Entrepreneurship37:46  The Future of Rice Business & the New Building40:50  Closing and ConclusionThe Owl Have You Know Podcast is a production of Rice Business and is produced by University FM.Episode Quotes:Why hard work alone won't get you promoted20:24: I find it interesting that, in the eight years I've been teaching it here at Rice, I don't think I've ever had a class where the majority of people in the class, when I talk about the things that hold them back from power, won't raise their hands and say, "Yeah, at least one of those affects me." And, you know, things like—we call it the just world hypothesis—the idea of like, oh, well, you know, merit exists, and if I do a really good job, I will rise in the organization because people will notice. And we talk about the fact that our research is pretty clear that that's not true. We have years of research on this that says your boss doesn't have any idea what you do, and your boss's boss certainly doesn't. And so this idea of you have to advocate for yourself, even though it doesn't feel great to you. Leaders vs. bad managers36:09: What I told my students is, "I'm not here to make you into great leaders. Some of you will be great leaders because you have that natural piece, and I'm going to teach you this, and if you follow and do this information, you'll become a great leader. But I guarantee you, if you just follow what I say, you won't be a bad manager. You won't be a bad leader." And I've had enough bad leaders over the years that my crusade is to get rid of them, to try and, try and teach people so that we don't have them. And I'm hoping that the people who come out of here with Rice MBAs, and even our Rice undergrad degrees, have the understanding of how to be a manager that does the right things.What Jonathan hopes for the future of Rice Business45:19: I hope that we can maintain doing that because we could provide our undergrads with a tremendous ability to get a great education, and one that they're not going to get in an undergrad program elsewhere, from people who really know what they're talking about and are good at teaching it.Show Links: TranscriptGuest Profile:Jonathan Miles | Rice BusinessJonathan Miles | LinkedIn

Study right now and get proficient with tools like Anthropic, tools like, you know, ChatGPT's Codex, tools like, you know, Gemini's Nano Banana, and, like, PaperBanana, the new one that they just announced. You have to be proficient in this space and be certified in this space, too. Like, Claude just announced a certification program. You can go get certified as, like, an Anthropic Claude architect. It's free. You can do it. Like, these are things that I think you need to have on your resume to position yourself for value, regardless of what strategy you take. If you want to go into strategy consulting or Big Four or technology, having those new skills on how to create agent capabilities for clients is going to be the table stakes to separating yourself from, I think, other people who are also looking to go into consulting.Adapting to AI with caution26:15: I don't think you should stop AI adoption because of that potential, but I think it's important to understand that there's things that you can do right now to enhance productivity by using these tool sets. There's other things that require, I think, a little bit more due diligence, and is it the right decision to completely re-architect the way we work with agents? Because what's good for Anthropic and how they might not be the best thing for your company long term.What makes a good consultant29:10: A good consultant is not afraid to ask questions, to push clients, and, kind of, challenge thinking. I think there's an art to being able to do that without offending and pissing clients off, and understanding when you have the opportunity to, kind of, push hard to get clients thinking in a different way. I think the other key part is being able to be hungry for any opportunity and not scared to learn any new topic, right? Because the nature of consulting is that you're being thrown into a bunch of different businesses, and no matter how much you've worked in a specific industry or at, like, businesses, there's always going to be something new that they're doing, whether it's from a technology that they're using, a process that they're following, the nomenclature that they're using.Show Links: Learn more about EPAMTranscriptGuest Profile:David Aldrich | Rice BusinessDavid Aldrich | LinkedIn

Being uninsured, speaking a different language, or not understanding a 40-page form should never decide who lives or dies. In this episode, patient navigators Laura Tovar and Elizabeth Esparza walk us through what really happens after an uninsured woman hears “you have breast cancer” at The Rose. They explain how they review applications before diagnosis, sit in the room with the radiologist, and answer the first question they always hear: “How am I going to pay for this?” They also talk about the maze behind assistance programs for uninsured patients, what it takes to keep coverage from lapsing in the middle of chemo, and the impossible choices some families face during their breast cancer journey. Along the way, Laura and Elizabeth share what it costs them emotionally to carry these stories, why they sometimes cry with husbands and children, and how quilts, gas cards, summer camps, and rent assistance become part of making sure no woman has to face breast cancer or the paperwork alone. Support The Rose HERE. Subscribe to Let’s Talk About Your Breasts on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart, and wherever you get your podcasts. Key Questions Answered 1. What does “patient navigation to treatment” mean at The Rose, and how is it different from scheduling or basic navigation? 2. How do Laura and Elizabeth first learn about a woman, and what happens between her initial mammogram and a positive diagnosis? 3. What are the main treatment access programs for uninsured women in this episode (Harris Health/Gold Card and Medicaid for Breast and Cervical Cancer)? 4. Who qualifies for Medicaid for Breast and Cervical Cancer, and how do income, age, citizenship, and “working quarters” factor in? 5. Why do many newly diagnosed women worry more about cost and payment than about the cancer itself? 6. How do navigators match patients with facilities and oncology practices that actually accept their specific Medicaid HMO plan? 7. What happens when Medicaid coverage lapses during chemo, and how do Laura and Elizabeth intervene to get treatment restarted? 8. How do they explain a breast cancer diagnosis differently to small children, teenagers, and spouses, and why are husbands often the most visibly shaken? 9. What are some of the hardest situations they see, including women moving counties or divorcing to meet eligibility rules, or being asked for large deposits to start chemo? 10. How do Laura and Elizabeth support patients with complex applications, missing documents, language barriers, and repeated denials from eligibility offices? 11. What other practical resources do they connect families to, such as food assistance, utility and rent support, camps for kids, gas cards, wigs, bras, and comfort items? 12. How do they cope with the emotional toll of this work while trying to remain steady for patients and their families? Timestamped Overview 00:00 Dorothy opens with how insurance status, language, and paperwork can determine who lives or dies, and introduces patient navigators Laura Tovar and Elizabeth Esparza.01:45 Laura and Elizabeth share how long they have been at The Rose and the roles they held before moving into patient navigation to treatment.02:35 Dorothy explains “sponsorship” as intake for assistance programs and why The Rose avoids the word “charity.”03:10 Elizabeth defines patient navigation to treatment as helping mostly uninsured, newly diagnosed women find a path into actual cancer care.03:50 Elizabeth describes reviewing applications a day or two before diagnosis to anticipate which treatment program might fit.04:25 Laura walks through what happens on the day a woman learns she has breast cancer and how navigators stay with her after the radiologist leaves.05:30 Elizabeth outlines key treatment programs: Harris Health (Gold Card) for county residents and Medicaid for Breast and Cervical Cancer (MBCC).06:00 Laura and Elizabeth explain MBCC eligibility, including age limits, income guidelines, citizenship, legal residency, five-year residency rules, and working quarters.08:20 They describe the questions women ask first after diagnosis, centered on cost, payment, and whether existing coverage at The Rose will extend to treatment.09:20 Laura explains why The Rose refers many MBCC patients to Texas Oncology and how they choose facilities that accept specific Medicaid HMO plans.10:30 They discuss how confusing HMO choices and insurance concepts are for women who have never had coverage and fear they will have to “pay it back.”11:20 Dorothy notes that many major cancer hospitals do not accept these plans, increasing reliance on a smaller network of providers.12:00 Laura and Elizabeth talk about the need to renew Medicaid every 12 months, how patients can forget during treatment, and what happens when coverage expires mid-chemo.12:35 They describe calling Medicaid, troubleshooting reasons for termination, and sometimes getting coverage reinstated within days.13:40 Dorothy asks how much information patients actually absorb at diagnosis; Laura and Elizabeth estimate many do not hear most of what is said.14:10 Laura explains follow-up calls, longer consultations, and sometimes separate visits to help spouses and children understand the diagnosis and plan.15:10 They share that husbands often cry more than patients because they feel helpless and unable to “fix” the situation or pay for care.16:30 Elizabeth describes how they tailor explanations for children by age, avoiding the word “cancer” with very young kids and framing treatment as strong medicine.17:10 They talk about the emotional toll of this work, the difficulty of holding in tears, and moments when they cry alongside patients.18:20 Dorothy raises the growing number of women who do not meet changing criteria for key programs and need entirely different solutions.18:55 Elizabeth describes families uprooting their lives to move into Harris County so they can qualify for Harris Health coverage.19:40 Dorothy notes some women feel forced to divorce to reduce household income enough to meet eligibility rules.20:20 They mention stopgap strategies like GoFundMe campaigns, cash-pay arrangements, and sliding-scale clinics that still remain expensive for women living paycheck to paycheck.21:20 Laura and Elizabeth share examples of women being asked for large deposits, including a $15,000 payment to begin chemotherapy.22:10 They discuss the complexity and length of application packets like the Harris Health form and why careful completion matters.22:40 Laura explains how nerves cause patients to make simple errors—wrong dates, missing boxes—that delay approval for months.23:30 They describe helping women who were diagnosed elsewhere but come to The Rose for help with Gold Card or other eligibility obstacles.24:10 Laura outlines how they review documents, join three-way calls with agencies, and clarify what paperwork is actually missing.24:50 Elizabeth explains why they personally deliver applications to eligibility centers instead of relying on patients who lack transportation or time.25:35 Dorothy reflects on her earlier belief that a diagnosis and pathology report would be enough, and how language and bureaucracy proved otherwise.26:20 She recalls that the realization of repeated denials and confusion led directly to creating the Patient Navigation to Treatment program.27:15 Elizabeth shares work with Rice University and Camp Kesem to connect children of cancer patients with supportive summer programs.28:10 Laura and Elizabeth list other resources they connect families to, including food banks, rent and utility help, medication support, gas cards, wigs, bras, prostheses, and comfort bags.29:20 Dorothy highlights the impact of donated quilts, heart pillows, and small items that remind women someone cares about them.30:00 Laura and Elizabeth admit that the work is overwhelming at times, especially when they cannot find a path to treatment for a particular woman.30:30 Dorothy closes by emphasizing that, for most uninsured patients, Laura and Elizabeth are the bridge to treatment and invites listeners to recognize and support this work.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Rice University Head Football Coach Scott Abell joins the podcast. We discuss his Triple Option Offense.

In 1985, three scientists at Rice University discovered a carbon molecule so structurally perfect it eventually earned them the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. What nobody anticipated was what would happen when researchers gave it to rats — a 90% extension in lifespan, the longest longevity result ever recorded in mammalian history.Chris Burres has been manufacturing this molecule since 1991, five years before the Nobel Prize was awarded. He joins Dr. Brandon Crawford to break down how ESS60 (Carbon 60) works at the mitochondrial level, why it functions as a buffering oxidative stress system rather than a conventional antioxidant, and what the growing clinical evidence suggests about its effects on sleep, inflammation, cognition, and long-term healthspan.ResourcesMyVitalC Exclusive Offers: 40% discount on 6-bottle bundle, $30 coupon, and 18 free biohacking tips when you use the link myvitalc.com/crawfordLive Longer and Better by Chris Burres and Jerome Corsi (autographed copies available with proceeds supporting Operation Underground Railroad)Operation Underground Railroad — Non-profit combating child exploitation (100% of autograph fees donated)Live Beyond the Norms Podcast hosted by Chris BurresFollow MyVitalC on Instagram2012 Baati Study — Peer-reviewed research showing 90% lifespan extension in Wistar rats SES Research Inc. — Manufacturing and research company (since 1991, Houston, Texas)‍Products528 Innovations LasersNeuroSolution Full Spectrum CBDNeuroSolution Broad Spectrum CBDNeuroSolution StimpodSTEMREGEN®Learn MoreFor more information, resources, and podcast episodes, visit https://tinyurl.com/3ppwdfpm

Today Pierce Salguero sit down with Prof. Jeff Kripal, noted scholar of religion at Rice University, to talk about extraordinary, mysterious, and “impossible” experiences. This is a conversation I've been waiting a few years to have. Together we explore what you can or can't talk about in the humanities — and what we risk when we break the rules. Along the way, we touch on paranormal phenomena, epistemological pluralism, conspiracy theories, Plato's cave, and why no one dresses up as a humanities professor for Halloween. If you want to hear scholars and practitioners engaging in deep conversations about the dark side of Asian religions and medicines, then subscribe to Black Beryl wherever you get your podcasts.

In this episode, Dr. Payan discusses a range of issues, including how immigration impacts Houston and how current events, such as the Iran conflict, have affected Houston, a major energy hub. Congratulations to these students for bringing this podcast to life! Now here are Luisa Tolda and Dante Garicia.         

Iran has attacked a UAE petroleum site in Fujairah, just days after the United Arab Emirates announced it was leaving OPEC. As the Strait of Hormuz crisis deepens and oil prices keep rising, could this accelerate the shift to renewables, or are we heading into an era of energy volatility?

Ann Gleig (Professor of Religion and Cultural Studies, University of Central Florida; PhD, Rice University, 2010) studies spirituality emerging from the encounter between Buddhism and American culture, particularly meditation and mindfulness. The author of American Dharma: Buddhism Beyond Modernity (Yale University Press, 2019); and co-editor with Scott A. Mitchell of The Oxford Handbook of American Buddhism, she has published widely about how the incorporation of psychotherapeutic and social justice frameworks have transformed American Buddhist practices. A recipient of a Sacred Writes media partnership to write for Religion Dispatches, Dr. Gleig's public-facing work has also appeared in The Conversation and Tricycle: The Buddhist Review. Ann Gleig will collaborate with Nalika Gajawira on a comparative ethnographic study of how Buddhist communities adopt and adapt popular spiritual exercises such as "secular" mindfulness and yoga classes within a wider Buddhist framework. Their work aims to illustrate the processes, frameworks and relationships that can enable more responsible relationships between specific religious communities and the word of spiritual wellness practices.   Ann Gleig, "The Deepak Chopra-Jeffrey Epstein friendship tells of a spirituality industry in crisis," Religion News Service: https://religionnews.com/2026/03/06/the-deepak-chopra-jeffrey- epstein-tells-of-a-spirituality-industry-in-crisis/ Ann Gleig and Brenna Artinger, "The Buddhist Culture Wars #BuddhistCultureWars: BuddhaBros, Alt-Right Dharma, and Snowflake Sanghas," Journal of Global Buddhism Vol 22: 1(2021) https://www.globalbuddhism.org/article/view/1298 Ann Gleig and Amy Langenberg, "Supporting Survivors of Abuse," Abuse in Buddhism: Facing It, Preventing It and Healing From It, Dharmadatta Community https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Tlvm5gq-G0 Ann Gleig, Amy Langenberg and Sarah Jacoby, "Reflecting on Heartwood/Northwestern Symposium on Sexual Violence in Buddhism: Centering Survivors Voices," The Shiloh Project https://shilohproject.blog/reflection-on-heartwood-symposium-on-sexual-violence-in-buddhism- centering-survivors-voices/ Ann Gleig, Talking About Cults: Abuse and the Study of New Religious Movements: https://www.ugapress.org/9780820377902/talking-about-cults/ Association for Spiritual Integrity (ASI) https://www.spiritual-integrity.org/ Seek Safely: https://seeksafely.org/

No one enjoys being in a bad mood. But it turns out that feeling a little down may actually put your brain in a surprisingly useful state. In fact, certain kinds of thinking and decision-making may improve when you're feeling a little low. https://www.unsw.edu.au/newsroom/news/2017/05/why-bad-moods-are-good-for-you--the-surprising-benefits-of-sadne Could humans really live on another planet or is it just science fiction? We have already begun living beyond Earth—astronauts have spent decades aboard space stations. But what would it really take to live permanently on another planet? The challenges go far beyond rockets and habitats. Scott Solomon, professor at Rice University and author of Becoming Martian: How Living in Space Will Change Our Bodies and Minds (https://amzn.to/4rAAIsd), explains how low gravity, radiation, and isolation could fundamentally alter the human body and mind—and whether we could truly adapt. Podcast: WildWorld with Scott Solomon https://www.youtube.com/@wildworldpodcast If you've taken your pet to the vet lately, you've probably felt the sticker shock.
