This podcast episode delves into the pressing topic of the current state of the freight and commodity markets, particularly in the context of the influence of Donald Trump's administration. The discussion initiates with an analysis of recent fluctuations in key commodity prices, including significant declines in dry freight markets and iron ore values. Subsequently, I engage in a comprehensive dialogue with Richard Stephenson, CEO of Freight Fix, who elucidates the evolving dynamics of global trade patterns and the ramifications of tariffs instituted under Trump's economic policies. We critically assess the historical context leading to the present circumstances, identifying the long-term effects of financialization and the geopolitical shifts that have emerged in response to these policies. As we navigate through these complexities, we underscore the necessity for traders and stakeholders to adapt to an increasingly interconnected and shifting economic landscape.Takeaways:The podcast discussed the recent downturn in dry freight markets, indicating significant rate drops since mid-March. Richard Stephenson elaborated on Freight Fix's analytical approach to shipping and trade, emphasizing data-driven decision-making. The conversation highlighted the impact of Donald Trump's policies on global trade, particularly tariffs and their consequences. The hosts noted the historical context of U.S. trade dynamics, tracing back to the post-war era and economic shifts. A significant point raised was the transformation of trade patterns due to tariffs, affecting traditional routes and buyer-supplier relationships. The discussion concluded with reflections on the future of trade, emphasizing the increased importance of regional collaborations over traditional dependencies.

Leadership in Scottish Community pharmacy circles has been alive and kicking for some years now. The policy document 'The Right Medicine' published back in February 2002 was a seminal moment for Scottish community pharmacy and paved the way for the way pharmaceutical care has evolved north of the border. In the heady days just after Scottish devolution Chief Pharmaceutical Officier Bill Scott pushed through this plan to allow pharmacists and their teams in Scotland to allow patients in Scotland to realise the benefits of pharmaceutical care. "The Right Medicine: a strategy for pharmaceutical care in Scotland" was published on 4 February. It aims to help people to get the maximum benefit from their medicines. It outlines the way in which pharmacists and the Scottish Executive will work with stakeholders to improve public health; provide better access to care; deliver better quality services for people; and develop the pharmaceutical profession." So it seems appropriate that just over two decades on years on we chat with the boss of one of the community pharmacy chains that grew out of this period of Scottish political and community pharmacy history. This interview is with Richard Stephenson. Richard has been Chief Operating Officer at Right Medicine Pharmacy for approximately 13 years. He is also Managing Director of the buying group Edinpharm and leads his own consultancy business, R5 Consult. In addition to these roles Richard also gives his time voluntarily to a number of worthy causes not least his role as Trustee at the Children's Panel. The team at Right Medicine Pharmacy began their journey in 2000 when business partners Jonathan Burton MBE and Noel Wicks took over the Campus Pharmacy at the University of Stirling. Since then the group has grown in size to 35 Pharmacies and over 250 team members. Right Medicine Pharmacy is now considered to be one of the most progressive and cutting-edge pharmacy service providers in Scotland. References Scottish Government Health and Social Care Directorates
Dr Gareth Andrews and Dr Richard Stephenson are about to do the longest-ever unsupported ski crossing of Antarctica, via the South Pole by an Australian and New Zealand. The trek is 2023 kilometres, and they will be collecting climate data along the way. Dr Sam Hazledine caught up with them to discuss their journey for the future of our planet and finding the balance between their passions and medicine. **Please be aware the sound recording is not the best quality (It almost sounds like the boys are already on their way to the South Pole), but we wanted to share it because it is such an important story.

Astrophiz128: Richard Stephenson ~ Talking with Spacecraft Pt2 This is an amazing interview where we hear first hand how distant spacecraft are controlled from Earth. Richard Stephenson is the Operations Supervisor at the CDSCC, The Canberra Deep Space Communications Complex at Tidbinbilla, jointly run by NASA and Australia's CSIRO. Richard explains how he can lock onto and send commands to Voyager2 about 20Billion kilometres away, using the newly refurbished transmitter on the 70m DSS-43 dish, and can then capture the telemetry data that V2 sends back to earth, by controlling an array of 4 Tidbinbilla dishes. Then Richard gives us the inside story about sending commands out to the New Horizons Pluto Mission about 7billion kilometres away. Also in this stunning episode: VPN command systems. How spacecraft have virtual channels and labelled telemetry so science data can be automatically sent to project primary investigators. How data from all the missions converging on Mars can be acquired and packaged to it's required destination. How the recent vision from the Ingenuity Helicopter ended up on your computer or smartphone screen. How two antenna dishes can talk with all the Mars missions from NASA/ESA and Emirates at the same time. How NASA coordinates all the DSN dishes at Canberra, at Goldstone and at Madrid using ‘Follow the Sun' How signals from the Solar Polar Probe (aka the Parker Solar Probe) are captured via eccentric orbits which counteract the huge radio noise emitted from our sun. How the ingenious use of Software Defined Radio and 'HackRS' allows us to deal with the increased radio traffic coming from fleets of CubeSats and eavesdrop on the Voyager Missions at the crossed the Heliopause. and …. How new progress is being made with RF-Optical-Hybrid systems to deal with growing data loads coming from spacecraft. Lasers-in-Space …. what's not to love! Thanks Richard …. you paint fantastic pictures for us as you describe so clearly how we talk with spacecraft!

Astrophiz 70: Dr Jamie Stevens ~ The ATCA PLUS: 'What's up Doc' with Dr @ianfmusgrave Listen here: Astrophiz – Astrophiz70 This is the third of 6 ‘Astrotour’ episodes of Astrophiz, where we are publishing recordings of interviews I did on a two and a half thousand kilometre tour of five of Australia’s finest Eastern state radio and optical observatories. Today’s feature interview is with Dr Jamie Stevens, CSIRO’s Senior Systems Scientist for the Australian Telescope Compact Array, a unique mobile array of 6 x 22 metre dishes. Jamie tells us all about this beautiful facility, it’s technology and how it creates rich data sets for a huge number of researchers and gives us an idea of some of the current ATCA projects. In our regular segment for astrophotographers and observers, Dr Ian 'Astroblog’ Musgrave presents ‘What’s Up Doc?’. In this episode he tells us about the planets and comets currently visible to the naked eye and in his tangent he reveals a comet is approaching the Parker Solar Probe. IN THE NEWS: .1. The Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) is slowly dying. .2. Via The Chinese Academy of Sciences Newsroom: Fusion reactor reaches 100 million degrees Centigrade, enough to initiate hydrogen fusion (for a very short amount of time). It’s a breakthrough in the quest to produce clean, inexhaustible fusion energy. .3. Finally, with Opportunity not phoning home from Mars, I’ve just booked another interview for early next year with Richard Stephenson who leads the control room at Australia’s DSN station at Tidbinbilla. NASA has three DSN stations, one at Tidbinbilla in Australia managed by the CSIRO, one at Madrid and one in California, sited about 120 degrees apart so NASA can schedule contact with missions throughout the day and night as the earth rotates.
