The beef industry is facing a mix of optimism and uncertainty — with strong prices giving way to questions about supply, demand, regulation, and long-term sustainability. But as the industry navigates these issues, a group of students at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln is stepping up to study them closely. On this episode, we're joined by Professors Brad Lubben and Elliott Dennis, both from the Department of Agricultural Economics here at Nebraska, to talk about the latest Policy Report column in Nebraska Farmer magazine, which not only outlines key challenges in the beef sector but also highlights the work of the Krutsinger Beef Industry Scholars — a unique program developing the next generation of policy-minded leaders in agriculture.Read more: https://cap.unl.edu/news/beef-scholars-program-addresses-most-important-issues-producers/

In this episode, we’re diving deep into the latest trending topics shaking up the culture. Rapper Slim Thugg is making waves with his controversial statement that Black men are the most desirable and that Black women should be “easier†when it comes to sex. Is he speaking facts, or is this just another example of misguided thinking?   We also take a look at the latest honors for Black Americans, as Trump’s proposed “American Heroes†statue garden includes notable figures—who made the list, and is this a genuine acknowledgment or political maneuvering?   Next, we revisit the heartbreaking story of a Detroit mother who lost two children to freezing temperatures. Social media is in an uproar after a video surfaced of her partying and twerking. Is this a case of grief expressing itself differently, or is the backlash justified?   Then, we’re breaking down the latest viral phenomenon—Trendy Trauma. Raquel Hopkins has sparked a conversation about how trauma is being glorified online. Are we normalizing pain for clout, or is this just people expressing their struggles in a new way?   Finally, we discuss the USDA’s shocking decision to suspend the 1890 Scholars Program for HBCU students. What does this mean for Black farmers and future agricultural leaders? Plus, an update on the USDA releasing $20 million in frozen farmer funds—what’s really going on behind the scenes?   There’s a lot to unpack, and we’re not holding back!

The teacher shortage is a perennial topic when it comes to education in New Mexico. Over the years, lawmakers and other officials have put stock in loads of different efforts aimed at addressing the shortage, from increasing pay to starting new recruiting programs.

This week on the podcast, Chris and Gabby are joined by Alan Mather, President of the Golden Apple Foundation in New Mexico. Mather discusses the organization's boots-on-the-ground "Scholars Program," which is aimed at recruiting and retaining teachers to work in the New Mexico communities they're from.

That phrase is supposed to describe how someone convicted of a crime, and done their time, should be free to rebuild their life and that of their families. That's not reality. But an imaginative program based in Seattle is aimed at transforming that situation. In this edition of Challenge 2.0; Emerging from the Prison Beyond Bars-The Prison Scholars program. 

Hosts: Fr. Greg Sakowicz and Mark Teresi. The Catholic Scholars Program at the Sheil Catholic Center at Northwestern University. In order to enter into an adult relationship with Christ, Catholic Scholars take seriously the commitment to deepen their understanding of faith, pray on a regular basis, serve the needs of others, and provide leadership that is distinctively Catholic. Catholic Scholars are theologically grounded, spiritually alive, articulate in their faith, and joyfully involved in Catholic tradition. Graduates of this program are well‐prepared to serve on parish councils, teach CCD, participate in liturgy committees and lead social justice efforts. In addition they are able to bring Christian principles to their families and careers. Guests: Sr. Belinda Monahan, Moses Diaz-Torres, and Joe Arena.

In this episode, Lynn Tonini interviews Bria Zolman, the Guardian Scholars Program Coordinator at Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana. This program  - which won the AOI 2021 Flame Award for small organizations - supports former foster youth through their experience at Ball State University. We discussed the services and activities that youth can leverage to help them achieve their degree, as well as ideas about what others who work with these youth can do to help prepare them for pursuing their higher education goals.  

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: Introducing the ML Safety Scholars Program, published by ThomasWoodside on May 4, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Program Overview The Machine Learning Safety Scholars program is a paid, 9-week summer program designed to help undergraduate students gain skills in machine learning with the aim of using those skills for empirical AI safety research in the future. Apply for the program here by May 31st. The course will have three main parts: Machine learning, with lectures and assignments from MIT Deep learning, with lectures and assignments from the University of Michigan, NYU, and Hugging Face ML safety, with lectures and assignments produced by Dan Hendrycks at UC Berkeley The first two sections are based on public materials, and we plan to make the ML safety course publicly available soon as well. The purpose of this program is not to provide proprietary lessons but to better facilitate learning: The program will have a Slack, regular office hours, and active support available for all Scholars. We hope that this will provide useful feedback over and above what's possible with self-studying. The program will have designated “work hours” where students will cowork and meet each other. We hope this will provide motivation and accountability, which can be hard to get while self-studying. We will pay Scholars a $4,500 stipend upon completion of the program. This is comparable to undergraduate research roles and will hopefully provide more people with the opportunity to study ML. MLSS will be fully remote, so participants will be able to do it from wherever they're located. Why have this program? Much of AI safety research currently focuses on existing machine learning systems, so it's necessary to understand the fundamentals of machine learning to be able to make contributions. While many students learn these fundamentals in their university courses, some might be interested in learning them on their own, perhaps because they have time over the summer or their university courses are badly timed. In addition, we don't think that any university currently devotes multiple weeks to AI Safety. There are already sources of funding for upskilling within EA, such as the Long Term Future Fund. Our program focuses specifically on ML and therefore we are able to provide a curriculum and support to Scholars in addition to funding, so they can focus on learning the content. Our hope is that this program can contribute to producing knowledgeable and motivated undergraduates who can then use their skills to contribute to the most pressing research problems within AI safety. Time Commitment The program will last 9 weeks, beginning on Monday, June 20th, and ending on August 19th. We expect each week of the program to cover the equivalent of about 3 weeks of the university lectures we are drawing our curriculum from. As a result, the program will likely take roughly 30-40 hours per week, depending on speed and prior knowledge. Preliminary Content & Schedule Machine Learning (content from the MIT open course) Week 1 - Basics, Perceptrons, Features Week 2 - Features continued, Margin Maximization (logistic regression and gradient descent), Regression Deep Learning (content from a University of Michigan course as well as an NYU course) Week 3 - Introduction, Image Classification, Linear Classifiers, Optimization, Neural Networks.

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: SERI ML Alignment Theory Scholars Program 2022, published by Ryan Kidd on April 27, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. The Stanford Existential Risks Initiative (SERI) recently opened applications for the second iteration of the ML Alignment Theory Scholars (MATS) Program, which aims to help aspiring alignment researchers enter the field by pairing them with established research mentors and fostering an academic community in Berkeley, California over the summer. Current mentors include Alex Gray, Beth Barnes, Evan Hubinger, John Wentworth, Leo Gao and Stuart Armstrong. Applications close on May 15 and include a written response to mentor-specific selection questions, viewable on our website. Who is this program for? Our ideal applicant has: an understanding of the AI alignment research landscape equivalent to having completed EA Cambridge's AGI Safety Fundamentals course; previous experience with technical research (e.g. ML, CS, maths, physics, neuroscience, etc.); strong motivation to pursue a career in AI alignment research. For the first stage of the program, we asked each alignment researcher to provide a set of questions that are sufficient to select candidates they would be happy to mentor. Applicants can apply for multiple mentors, but will have to complete each mentor's selection questions. What will this program involve? Over four weeks, the participants will develop an understanding of a research agenda at the forefront of AI alignment through online readings and cohort discussions, averaging 10 h/week from Jun 6 to Jul 1. After this initial upskilling period, the scholars will be paired with an established AI alignment researcher for a two-week “research sprint” to test fit from Jul 4 to Jul 15. Assuming all goes well, scholars will be accepted into an eight-week intensive research program in Berkeley, California over the US summer break (Jul 25 to Sep 16). Participants will obtain a $6,000 grant for completing the training and research sprint and $16,000 at the conclusion of the program. Furthermore, all expenses will be covered, including accommodation, office space and networking events with the Bay Area alignment community. We are happy to continue providing funding after the two month period to promising scholars, at the discretion of our research mentors. International students can apply to the program, and will arrive in the US under a B1 visa. We hope to run another iteration of the program in the winter, and possibly in the fall. If you are not able to apply for the summer program, we encourage you to apply for the fall or winter. We may be able to offer different types of visas in future iterations. Theory of change This section is intended to explain the reasoning behind our program structure and is not required reading for any applicant. SERI MATS' theory of change is as follows: We believe that AI alignment research is pre-paradigmatic, with a diversity of potentially promising research agendas. Therefore, we aim to support many different alignment research agendas to decorrelate failure. We also aim to accelerate the development of scholars into researchers capable of pursuing original agendas and mentoring further scholars. We believe that working 1:1 with a mentor is the best and quickest way to develop the ability to conduct alignment theory research—that reading curriculum alone is worse for a large number of participants. Moreover, we believe that our target scholars might be able to produce value directly for the mentors by acting as research assistants. For the first few months, we are generally more excited about mentees working on an established mentor's research agenda than on their own. We believe that our limiting constraint is mentor time. This means we wish to have strong filtering mechanisms (e.g. candidate selection questio...
