Episode 49 is with Peter Minor (Absolute Climate) and Travis Caddy (Evident)Despite all of the recent progress to integrate carbon removal in carbon markets globally, a significant problem remains. Existing market mechanisms continue to commoditize carbon removal credits that we haven't effectively standardized yet. Carbon credits are sold as interchangeable units despite differences in how project quality is evaluated. Absolute Climate thinks it has solved this problem with the Absolute Carbon Standard and its partnership with longstanding registry Evident. I speak to Peter Minor and Travis Caddy about this standard and exciting new partnership.In this episode, Na'im, Peter and Travis discuss:* the importance of standardized carbon removal measures;* Creating conflict-free certification mechanisms;* the creation of the Absolute Carbon Standard by Absolute Climate* the role of Evident in offering independent certification* the challenges of commoditizing carbon credits* the significance of separation of responsibilitiesRelevant Links:* Absolute Climate - Website* Evident - Website* C-Capsule - Website* A Standardized Test for Carbon Removal - Heatmap News* Absolute Carbon Standard V1.0About Peter:Peter Minor is a co-founder and CEO of Absolute Climate, and a veteran of the carbon removal industry.

In a recent episode of Category Visionaries, we spoke with Preston Bryant, Co-Founder, Executive Chair and Chief Commercial Officer of Momentum. The company has developed a groundbreaking materials science technology that enables efficient recycling of critical metals from batteries and other electronic waste. Originally focused on rare earth magnet recycling, Momentum pivoted to tackle the growing challenge of battery recycling, offering a solution that requires significantly less capital investment than traditional methods. Topics Discussed: Evolution from oil and gas exploration to sustainable materials processing Development of MSX technology for efficient metal extraction Journey from rare earth magnet recycling to battery recycling Building strategic partnerships in the battery recycling ecosystem Transitioning from founder-CEO to Executive Chair and CCO Navigating the challenges of commercializing deep tech Fundraising experiences and investor dynamics Future vision for controlling critical materials supply chains   GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Operate on shoestring budgets during hard tech development: Bryant emphasized the importance of being extremely selective with spending during the early stages. He noted, "You need to figure out how to make your dollar go further. You have to be very choosy about the projects and the feedstocks that you're willing to process." Early-stage founders should maintain strict financial discipline while validating their technology. Find the right commercial application through iteration: Momentum spent four years exploring different applications before finding product-market fit in battery recycling. Bryant shared, "From 2016 to 2020...we tried automation, we tried many different supply partnerships, and none of them really worked out for magnet recycling. But boy, did it take off for the battery recycling piece." Founders should be prepared to pivot their technology to different applications until finding the right market opportunity. Build strategic partnerships to demonstrate full value chain: Momentum's partnership with Cerbus Solutions and 6K demonstrated a complete supply chain solution from collection to end product. Bryant explained, "We decided okay, that would be a worthwhile, even though this was very custom to one sort of customer, it would show that we could do the whole supply chain." Deep tech founders should consider strategic partnerships that showcase their technology's role in the broader ecosystem. Navigate the transition from technical founder to scaled leadership: As the company grew, Bryant transitioned from CEO to Executive Chair and CCO roles. He reflected, "It requires different things of you, from being a startup founder to then being an actual manager of people to then being executive chairman...You've got to be willing to change or you'll quickly get swept aside." Founders should prepare themselves mentally for evolving leadership roles as their companies scale. Leverage accelerator programs for credibility: Getting into Halliburton Labs during COVID helped attract investor attention. Bryant noted, "That was great because they helped us not only build a product, but that name helped attract attention to us from investors." Deep tech founders should seek reputable accelerator programs that can provide both technical validation and investor credibility.   //   Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe.  www.GlobalTalent.co

Everyone thinks I'm wrong—my peers and even the experts in my field. My ideas about R3ciprocity are misguided, and that I'm wasting my time chasing illusions. But guess what? I keep going.The logics of science and innovation is about dealing with doubt and a constant external pressure. When I am being told I'm wrong, it's a sign that I'm pushing boundaries and challenging outdated thinking.R3ciprocity — a platform for non-rejectable research papers is a stupid idea.But, what if?If you've ever been the outlier, the one who doesn't fit the mold, or the person everyone thinks is off-track, you are doing just fine.Keep going.

In this week's Talking Tech Feature, Mark delves into who the new Secretary of State for Science, Innovation & Technology is. Peter Kyle has taken on the role following last week's UK general election. 

This audio is brought to you by Wearcheck, your condition monitoring specialist. South Africa's Department of Science and Innovation (DSI), through the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), has launched the first of three new government-led collaborative circular economy initiatives focusing on priority economic sectors that were identified by government in the science, technology and innovation (STI) 2022 to 2032 decadal plan. The first of the three initiatives, the South African Circular Minerals and Metals Initiative (SACMMI), was launched in Pretoria, on April 11. The other two, the South African Circular Agricultural Initiative (SACAI) and the South African Circular Manufacturing Initiative (SACMI), will follow. The mandate of these initiatives is to drive sector-specific circular economy STI to support the development of these sectors and to fast-track the uptake of circular interventions. "The circular economy is not a nice to have. It's also not an environmental agenda. It's a social and economic and an environmental imperative for every country as we face growing resource scarcity," DSI and CSIR circular innovation South Africa manager Professor Linda Godfrey explained. She revealed that the SACMMI was aimed at creating an opportunity to embed circular economy STI within the National System of Innovation (NSI), as well as to build local and international STI partnerships. Ultimately, the goal is to provide real benefits to the local mining sector. She noted that the DSI would publish calls for expressions of interest to host the SACAI and the SACMI, respectively. Godfrey emphasised that the circular economy was not about waste management, but rather about sustainable resource management in support of development. She said that a circular economy transition was an economic, social and environmental imperative for every country globally, and that South Africa's universities and science councils would be crucial to evidencing this transition. They would also play a central role in derisking circular economy solutions and developing new innovative circular economy solutions. "We look forward to collaborating with public- and private-sector partners, and driving impact through these new circular economy initiatives," she said. Godfrey said government recognised the circular economy as a new source of economic growth for a re-industrialised and modernised economy, with a strong role for STI. She explained that investment in STI for a circular economy would provide the means to unlock technology opportunities through technology development, localisation and adaptation. It would also help evidence decision-making in both the public and private sectors, and drive policy development and implementation. Such investment would also support businesses to derisk and scale interventions, thereby bringing academia closer to business, especially small to medium-sized enterprises. "The circular economy is not new to South Africa. We've been doing a lot of these things for many years. We just never called it circularity. We haven't yet achieved the scale for meaningful impact. How do we assist in fast-tracking the adoption and scaling of these interventions?" Godfrey said. "I honestly do believe that the circular economy provides an entirely different future or trajectory in terms of our growth as an African continent. With that comes the exciting opportunity for small businesses. I don't even think we've scratched the surface in terms of those opportunities for the continent," Godfrey said. Mandela Mining Precinct (MMP) executive director Julie Courtnage said the SACMMI provided an opportunity to build a national system of innovation and capability, to directly support industry and other sector stakeholders in the adoption and acceleration of circular practices and technologies. She noted that collaboration and partnerships would be instrumental to the success of this initiative. So far, the MMP and CSIR were fully o...

How did a space-age invention become ubiquitous in today's digital imaging landscape? Learn all about it here in our latest podcast, featuring pioneers of photography and digital imaging.   In 1993, noted physicist and engineer Eric Fossum led the invention of the CMOS active-pixel image sensor as part of his work for NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). Then, as part of JPL's mandate to seek commercial and consumer applications for emerging technologies, he was active in the transfer of the CMOS sensor's “camera-on-a-chip” technology to industry.   In our informative conversation with Professor Fossum, he makes distinctions between solid state CCDs and his more efficient CMOS sensor that would come to dominate the marketplace. To transform high-level science into layman's terms, he uses the analogy of a bucket brigade collecting rain on a football field.   In a similar down-to-earth fashion, we touch on metaphysical issues like wave particle duality, and how this is demonstrated every time light enters a camera and you take a picture with your phone.   Join us to marvel at the wonders of science amid fun food references—from the way deep space radiation degrades CCD chips so they start to act like Swiss cheese, to the synergies between high-level scientific measurements and delicatessen lunch meats, both marks of a creative scientist and visionary educator. Guest: Eric Fossum Above photograph © John Sherman Photography, https://jshermanphoto.com/   Episode Timeline:   2:31: Eric Fossum's beginnings in hands-on science explorations, computer programming, and his love for launching model rockets, plus the role photography has played in his life.   9:26: Fossum's early research in CCD sensor technologies, his interest in trying to marry cameras to artificial intelligence, and his invitation to join NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in 1990.   14:00: The differences between CCD and CMOS sensors, and a description of how they work using the analogy of a bucket brigade to collect rain on a football field.   23:35: A history of active pixel sensor devices, an explanation about two kinds of image noise, the metaphysics of photons, plus how the wave particle duality from quantum mechanics is demonstrated every time you take a picture with your phone.   33:10: Fossum's role in the transfer of CMOS sensor technology to US industry, co-founding his company Photobit, and negotiations for licensing the technology with CalTech.   43:23: Episode Break   44:36: The sale of Photobit to Micron, Fossum's move to New Hampshire, consulting work on 3-D imaging sensors for Samsung TVs, and the beginnings of his teaching career at Dartmouth.   50:00: A book chapter on the future of image sensors, and the evolution of this idea to a university project, which led to Fossum co-founding the start-up company, Gigajot, with his PhD students.   52:30: Explaining the difference between the operation of CMOS and Quanta image sensors.   54:03: The resulting applications of CMOS image sensor technology, and the positive use of CMOS image sensors for social justice purposes.   57:22: Fossum's thoughts about STEM education, and connections between academia and applications in the wider world.   1:01:32: Parting thoughts about AI and the ability to authenticate images at the source, plus Fossum's newest award: The Trinity College President's Medal for Science & Innovation.   Guest Bio:   Eric Fossum, a Queen Elizabeth Prize Laureate and recipient of a 2021 Emmy Award, is one of the world's experts in solid-state image sensors. He developed the CMOS active pixel image sensor while working at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Today, this “camera-on-a-chip” technology is used in almost all cell-phone cameras, webcams, many digital-still cameras and in medical imaging, among other applications.   A serial entrepreneur, with a career that has spanned academic and government research, and entrepreneurial leadership, Fossum is currently the John H. Krehbiel Sr. Professor for Emerging Technologies at Dartmouth's Thayer School of Engineering, where he teaches, performs image sensor research, and directs the School's Ph.D. Innovation Program. He also serves as Dartmouth's Vice Provost for Entrepreneurship and Technology Transfer.      Stay Connected: Eric Fossum Website: https://ericfossum.com/ Eric Fossum Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Fossum Eric Fossum at the National Inventor's Hall of Fame: https://www.invent.org/inductees/eric-r-fossum Eric Fossum at Dartmouth Engineering: https://engineering.dartmouth.edu/community/faculty/eric-fossum Eric Fossum bio from the Queen Elizabeth Prize for Engineering: https://qeprize.org/winners/eric-fossum Eric Fossum's 2021 Emmy Award in Tech and Engineering https://www.nhbr.com/dartmouth-professor-wins-emmy-award-for-image-sensor-technology/ Logitech: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/browse/Logitech/ci/13968/N/4232861614

For years, data analytics has been used in healthcare to fuel faster and more accurate diagnoses, inform decision-making, personalize treatment, improve patient care and outcomes, lower costs and more. With recent advances in the use of big data and generative artificial intelligence, more organizations are exploring new ways to apply these modern data science tools to address persistent healthcare challenges.One of the key challenges in advancing care for the growing population living with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias is the aggregation of meaningful insights from a wide range of disparate sources of raw data, including electronic health records (EHRs), personal health records, patient portals and health-related smart phone apps, in addition to large amounts of unstructured data, strict data privacy and security regulations and a variety of data formats.To drive innovation forward in this space, MATTER recently launched the Restoring Brain Health Innovation Challenge with support from the Lundbeck US Charitable Fund to identify and accelerate the development of data science technologies that can generate novel insights from disparate sources to advance care in Alzheimer's disease and related dementias.On September 18, join Mary Furlong, leader in the longevity market, Elizabeth Powers, Vice President and General Manager, US Regulatory Science & Study Innovation at IQVIA and Ryan Urbanowicz, Research Scientist, Computational Biomedicine at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and Co-Lead, Tech ID and Training Core, PennAITech/a2Collective.ai for a conversation exploring this topic.For more information, visit matter.health and follow us on social: LinkedIn @MATTERTwitter @MATTERhealthInstagram @matterhealth

National have promised to end New Zealand's ban on gene editing and genetic modification, if elected. Their Harnessing Biotech Policy would also streamline approvals for trials and use of non-gene editing biotech, in line with other OECD countries. Judith Collins, National's Science, Innovation, and Technology spokesperson says New Zealand is too far behind when it comes to utilising research and meeting climate change targets. "We have 7 different Crown Research Institutes, we've got 8 universities, all of which do research. And then we have 18 different independent research institutes.

In November 2022, the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) filed a federal lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Amarillo Division, against the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on behalf of the Alliance of Hippocratic Medicine (AHM) and others. The suit challenges the FDA's 2000 decision to legalize mifepristone and misoprostol, two drugs often used in conjunction as chemical abortifacients. The petitioners argue that the legalization of these chemical abortion drugs undermines the FDA's legal obligation to protect the health, safety, and welfare of young girls and women. Further, the petitioners allege the FDA disregarded notable evidence that chemical abortion drugs are more likely to cause more harm and complications than a surgical abortion, and terminated the necessary safeguards for pregnant women and girls who undergo this controversial drug regimen. Finally, the petitioners contend that the FDA allowed these chemical abortion pills to be delivered via mail in violation of long-standing federal laws. This Litigation Update with Erik Baptist, a litigating attorney for ADF, will provide a current look at this case, what the facts are, how the case is going, and what the possible outcomes and ramifications thereof may be.

What would be your response if someone said diversity, equity, and inclusion is dead? Get ready to answer that because… My guest today makes that claim. And she's 100% right. Kait McGregor is the Director of People Science + Innovation at WithYouWithMe, where she leads the global research team that is developing the testing and matching capabilities of their company's POTENTIAL platform, a recruitment psychometric testing software. (If you LOVE this episode and the research Kait mentions, click this link to grab that research + more! https://go.withyouwithme.com/genzsignup) Why is DEI Dead? To put it simply? DEI initiatives no longer achieve what they set out to achieve. They simply “check a box”. It's no longer about actual diversity + inclusion. Instead, in most companies, quota and box-checking trumps actual diversification of thought, background, and ethnicity. Kait rightfully points out that most organizations have DEI initiatives just for show, with no intention of taking steps to achieve them. There is a significant need for change. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion should mean more. It should be about recognizing people for who they are and understanding the values they would bring to an organization as individuals. Why DEI is mostly discussed as a surface-level thing instead of a systemic change: "I don't think it's from lack of trying, to be honest. For some organizations, DEI initiatives come from a place of understanding that this is a fundamental need within the requirements of what we have as an organization." ~ Kaitlynne McGregor. The need for this implementation is being discussed but the problem is in the method adopted. No one is teaching those organizations about this the different ways to go about it. They're so caught up in what they're trying to achieve that they've not had the time to take a step back and re-analyze their methods to see if it actually works. For example: Imagine being a Latina woman recruited by a “diversity recruiter” and given an interview, only to find out you never had a shot at the job to begin with. The position was already filled, but the company had to “fill it's diversity quota”. Kaitlynne speaks on the solution to proper implementation of DEI initiatives: "If DEI initiatives are done right, they should start with education. It should start with the conversation around 'How do we recruit neuro-divergent, youths, indigenous people, military spouses...in a way that is friendly to them, not in the way that suits us and is easy for us as HR professionals?" She said. She advised having an attitudinal and psychometric assessment of employees, and making that data available to recruiters. That way, a person's alignment with a certain role is more certain. It removes subconscious bias. Employment would then be based purely on data from the assessment, and the employees will be better understood holistically as individuals and not the labels we give them. But there aren't enough people willing to open their minds to these new ideas. When asked what she thinks about using AI as a solution to recruitment bias: I asked Kait whether or not AI was a good solution to this...

Every time we wash a load of laundry, microfibers are released into the environment, polluting aquatic ecosystems. Our clothes are a major source of plastic pollution, and microfibers are the most common type of microplastic (plastic pieces less than 5 mm in diameter). It is extremely difficult to clean up microfibers, so it is critical that we do our best to prevent this type of pollution from entering the environment.  The Director of Science & Innovation at The 5 Gyres Institute, Dr. Lisa Erdle, is a Microplastics researcher who completed her PhD at the University of Toronto, where she researched the sources and effects of microfibers in the environment. Lisa explains why microfibers are harmful and shares practical tips for reducing microfiber pollution at home.  The 5 Gyres Institute is a leader in the global movement against plastic pollution.  For the show notes visit https://www.swapsociety.co/pages/podcast

The data science field is expanding because so many businesses and other institutions require skilled workers who can manage data as well as provide insights. Companies and students are clamoring for more academic programs. There is great need, but academic institutions are still transitioning to meet the demand. Dr. David Bader, Distinguished Professor and Director of the Institute for Data Science at the New Jersey Institute of Technology, explains how his school is leading the charge to create opportunities for more students to study data scienceMain TakeawaysConnecting Data and Graphs: A current area of focus concerning data science for Bader and his institution is taking huge amounts of data and associating it with corresponding graphs. This process helps provide context to the data so insights can be gleaned.Arriving at Insights With Less Data: One difficulty with gaining insights is that typically it takes a lot of data points to make sense of a significant occurrence. Often, in the real world, insights need to be determined faster and with less data. Consider the archetype of the malevolent lone wolf who may have not had done the behavior previously. The answer is two-fold in order to stop a lone wolf type of situation. One, create more context to whatever data is obtainable. Second, consider data that may not be the exact same behavior but is still relevant.Academia Is Rising to the Challenge: All manner of institutions now have massive amounts of data and need people to manage it and provide insights. Academia may be somewhat slow to change but there is a push from companies and from students for more data science programs. These sorts of programs are growing throughout higher education but there is much more room for expansion.IT Visionaries is brought to you by the Salesforce Platform - the #1 cloud platform for digital transformation of every experience.

In an effort to combat the spread of COVID-19 and contain its impact, nations across the world are exploring the use of various methods of tracking the virus. Some – such as Singapore and South Korea – have established national surveillance networks that operate in real-time to assist in this task, while others – like the United States – have largely delegated this effort to individual states, which can result in a patchwork of different surveillance activities. Private companies – like Google and Apple – have also stepped in to assist in this effort.Increased visibility into the virus’s spread appears crucial to public health authorities’ efforts but concerns have been raised that such widespread data collection activities may be overly intrusive and that privacy interests have not been adequately considered in the effort to stop the spread of this virus. Further, some question the security of personal health data, especially as hackers and cyber-criminals turn their attention towards these new surveillance programs.In this podcast, our panel of experts explores these important issues and more.Featuring:- Drew Bagley, Vice President and Counsel for Privacy and Cyber Policy, CrowdStrike- Neil Chilson, Senior Research Fellow for Technology and Innovation, Charles Koch Institute- Roger Klein, Faculty Fellow, Center for Law, Science & Innovation, Sandra Day O'Connor College of LawVisit our website – www.RegProject.org – to learn more, view all of our content, and connect with us on social media.

Private companies – like Google and Apple – have also stepped in to assist in this effort.Increased visibility into the virus’s spread appears crucial to public health authorities’ efforts but concerns have been raised that such widespread data collection activities may be overly intrusive and that privacy interests have not been adequately considered in the effort to stop the spread of this virus. Further, some question the security of personal health data, especially as hackers and cyber-criminals turn their attention towards these new surveillance programs.In this podcast, our panel of experts explores these important issues and more.Featuring:- Drew Bagley, Vice President and Counsel for Privacy and Cyber Policy, CrowdStrike- Neil Chilson, Senior Research Fellow for Technology and Innovation, Charles Koch Institute- Roger Klein, Faculty Fellow, Center for Law, Science & Innovation, Sandra Day O'Connor College of LawVisit our website – www.RegProject.org – to learn more, view all of our content, and connect with us on social media.

Andrea Zanotti"Life Science Innovation 2020"Fondazione Golinelli - G Factorhttps://www.fondazionegolinelli.it/itSeconda edizione della call "Life Science Innovation 2020" di Fondazione Golinelli e G-Factor: annunciate le 5 start-up scelte come destinatarie degli investimenti Tecniche diagnostiche e soluzioni terapeutiche innovative, dispositivi tecnologici per il trattamento di malattie degenerative e approcci d'avanguardia per analisi del sangue e nel settore della dermocosmesi. Sono cinque le start-up che hanno superato positivamente la selezione della seconda edizione di "Life Science Innovation 2020", il bando internazionale da 1 milione di euro messo a disposizione da Fondazione Golinelli e G-Factor rivolto a progetti di innovazione e nuove imprese del settore delle scienze della vita e dedicato a chi pensa di avere un'idea vincente nei settori pharma e biotech, medtech, nutraceutica, bioinformatica e bioingegneria.Dopo il successo della prima Call Fondazione Golinelli ha rinnovato il suo impegno per fornire una risposta concreta alla necessità del nostro Paese di favorire l'integrazione tra ricerca, industria e mercato, mettendo al centro i giovani, le loro idee di impresa e la ricerca scientifica e tecnologica, nell'ottica di una formazione che unisca il sapere al saper fare. Inizialmente riconfermate, anche per la seconda Call, le risorse messe a disposizione da Fondazione Golinelli e G-Factor per gli investimenti, che complessivamente ammontavano a 1 milione di euro, 720.000 euro in denaro e 280.000 euro in servizi, e destinate ad essere suddivise equamente tra 8 startup. Avendo superato la selezione solo 5 startup, le risorse non investite saranno ri-confermate e re-investite nella prossima call.«G-Factor si è affacciato in maniera inedita un anno e mezzo fa al panorama italiano con l'obiettivo di rappresentare un modello realmente funzionale alla realtà produttiva e finanziaria del nostro Paese» afferma Antonio Danieli, direttore Generale di Fondazione Golinelli e amministratore unico di G-Factor. «Per la call Life Science Innovation 2020 abbiamo ricevuto 137 candidature registrando un aumento della partecipazione dell'8% rispetto alla prima edizione del bando e una maggiore attrattività all'estero. Gli investimenti messi a disposizione erano in totale 8, con un importo di risorse finanziarie disponibili mediamente superiore all'anno precedente, ma la selezione ha prodotto una cerchia ristretta di 6 progetti molto validi e convincenti, vagliata su profili scientifici e imprenditoriali e sulla base dell'esperienza delle start-up. Purtroppo - spiega Danieli - il periodo di due mesi di trattativa precedente all'avvio di G-Force è coinciso con i mesi di marzo e aprile e con l'emergenza sanitaria, e uno dei team selezionati ha deciso di non proseguire a causa di propri impedimenti. Gli accordi sono quindi stati chiusi con 5 start-up: Bacfarm, Lighthouse Biotec, Nib Biotec, PerForms, e Recornea, che ha dimensioni internazionali e collegamenti con Singapore e il sud est asiatico».«Fondazione Golinelli, anche in un momento difficile come quello che stiamo vivendo, non interrompe il proprio piano strategico di investimento ma anzi lo rilancia confermando il suo fondamentale ruolo nel campo della formazione e della ricerca» dichiara Andrea Zanotti, presidente di Fondazione Golinelli. «Sono giorni di appelli accorati a salvare le start-up da parte degli attori protagonisti, ma gli stessi protagonisti non ci pare agiscano conseguentemente. Questo si notava già prima di marzo, ora è tutto bloccato: non ci sono risorse, o sono tutte congelate, e se in questa fase non si investe con coraggio e responsabilità, si rischia di distruggere tutto quanto di buono fatto in questi anni. Non si può aspettare ancora per molto la primavera per scongelare le scorte, altrimenti molte realtà giovani e promettenti, ma ancora fragili, non ce la faranno a sopravvivere. Noi abbiamo investito, indipendentemente dalla nostra volontà, su 5 start-up invece che su 8, ma stiamo già iniziando a ragionare su dove e come investire per il prossimo bando, recuperando ovviamente queste risorse inevase. Stiamo poi ulteriormente pianificando gli sviluppi futuri della Fondazione - prosegue Zanotti - e presto contiamo di poter annunciare alcune novità. Nonostante la delicatezza del panorama generale, ci sono importanti istituzioni e singoli privati che, come noi, intendono agire non fermandosi alla dichiarazione di intenti e con cui stiamo creando importanti e inediti percorsi di sviluppo che presto diverranno realtà. Dovremo imparare ad agire in un mondo nuovo, ma ora non è vietato sbagliare, è vietato stare fermi».LE CINQUE START-UPBacfarmJunior Spinoff Università degli studi di CagliariI ricercatori di Bacfarm hanno ideato una tecnologia per l'estrazione dei carotenoidi, biomolecole antiossidanti con grandi benefici per la salute umana e animale, utili per diverse applicazioni: dalla cosmesi alla nutraceutica, dall'alimentazione alla medicina e alla farmacia. La tecnologia brevettata dal team, nata nel Laboratorio di Fisiologia Vegetale e Fotobiologia dell'Università di Cagliari attraverso la coltivazione di batteri, è la prima capace di estrarre efficacemente la deinoxantina, definita "il nuovo re dei carotenoidi". Il loro modello di business rappresenta l'alternativa efficiente e sostenibile all'industria tradizionale del settore, grazie a materia prima, tecnologia e prodotti innovativi. Lo sfruttamento della biomassa batterica consente infatti di evitare la necessità di filiere, riducendo i costi e gli sprechi.Lighthouse BiotecPordenoneLighthouse Biotec propone un approccio all'avanguardia per contare ed estrarre dai campioni di sangue cellule tumorali circolanti (ctc) senza doverle marcare, ma sfruttando il loro alterato metabolismo in modo da poterle archiviare vitali e immodificate in biobanche o utilizzarle in colture cellulari o per analisi di DNA e proteine.Tutte le cellule del sangue vengono inserite in goccioline e, grazie al sistema di microfluidica brevettato dal team, quelle contenenti le cellule tumorali diventano rilevabili in quanto il metabolismo alterato porta all'acidificazione della gocciolina stessa, e l'innovativo circuito consente di separarle estraendo senza danno la singola cellula dalla goccia tramite un impulso elettrico.Nib BiotecSpinoff Università degli studi di TorinoL'attuale metodo di screening per il tumore alla prostata porta due uomini su tre a eseguire una biopsia non necessaria. Il team di Nib Biotec, da uno studio pilota condotto su 400 soggetti con indicazione di biopsia prostatica, ha individuato una combinazione di tre molecole in grado di discriminare un uomo sano da uno affetto da cancro alla prostata in maniera più efficiente rispetto al comune test del PSA. L'uso di queste molecole come biomarcatori del tumore è oggetto di una domanda di brevetto recentemente depositata dalla società NIB Biotec srl, che sta sviluppando un biosensore, un dispositivo lateral flow in grado di misurare la presenza di tre fattori solubili in un campione di urina. La rilevazione contemporanea dei tre fattori permetterà di avere un'indicazione affidabile nell'effettuare l'esame bioptico al paziente per la diagnosi di carcinoma prostatico in tempi rapidi e a costi molto bassi.PerFormSSpinoff Università degli studi di Modena e Reggio EmiliaPerFormS propone Nano-ReSkin, un prodotto dermocosmetico all'avanguardia studiato per il trattamento specifico delle infiammazioni della cute, come la psoriasi. Il prodotto, rappresentato ad oggi da una crema, contiene al suo interno una nuova tecnologia che consente di trasportare le sostanze attive direttamente all'interno delle cellule coinvolte nel processo infiammatorio. Le innovative particelle rappresentano il cuore della tecnologia e permettono di aumentare di circa 100 volte l'effetto delle sostanze attive e diminuire le dosi somministrate e gli effetti collaterali. Il sistema di delivery contenuto in Nano-ReSkin è frutto della ricerca scientifica sviluppata in laboratorio ma è facilmente riproducibile su scala industriale e rappresenta un approccio efficace per ridurre rapidamente e in modo sicuro i sintomi dell'infiammazione.RecorneaProgetto indipendente Udine e SingaporeIl cheratocono è una malattia degenerativa della cornea che causa una progressiva deformazione della cornea stessa. Il team di Recornea ha sviluppato un dispositivo medico impiantabile capace di migliorare la vista dei pazienti affetti da cheratocono e altre condizioni patologiche che causano deformazioni della cornea. L'impianto corneale GROSSO® è stato progettato per ripristinare la curvatura fisiologica ottimale della cornea. Impiantato direttamente nello spessore corneale attraverso una tasca corneale eseguita con laser a femtosecondi, porta a un rimodellamento dell'intera cornea – che sarà forzata a seguire la curvatura dell'impianto – e a un conseguente miglioramento della qualità della vita dei pazientiIL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps//www.ilpostodelleparole.it

Governments at all levels are figuring out how to make sure sick people are treated and that coronavirus doesn’t spread. Some experts are now drawing attention to possible regulatory reforms (https://www.rstreet.org/2020/03/18/small-regulatory-reforms-that-can-help-people-during-the-pandemic/), as early reports suggested that federal agencies may have prevented private testing for COVID-19 before slowly issuing approval.Others are calling for state-level reforms, such as changes to occupational licensing requirements. Existing occupational licensing laws arguably restrict medical professionals, including nurses and pharmacists, from practicing to the full scope of their training by limiting what duties they can take on and making nurses practice under doctor supervision. Licenses rarely transfer across state lines. This means that qualified doctors in one state cannot practice in other states, severely restricting their ability to provide telehealth services to potential patients. Advocates posit that these doctors should be allowed to prioritize the most pressing cases on telehealth. Many states have implemented emergency reforms regarding these issues to help prevent physician burnout and make sure medical professionals can focus their energies where needed.Municipal-level reforms are also being discussed as vital to avoid penalizing residents for acting responsibly. In many localities, working from home requires the worker to overcome regulatory requirements. Some view this as generally unwise but are now drawing even greater attention to the topic because Americans are being urged to stay inside.Further, while some regulations like parking limits make perfect sense in normal times, is suspending such rules worth considering in the current environment? This episode will discuss these issues and more.Featuring:- David Hyman, Scott K.

When we really want to think the ecological thought we should let go off the concept of “Nature”. According to American philosopher Timothy Morton Nature with a capital N is an idealized image that stands in the way of our truly being ecological. Instead we should become aware of the dark side of the way in which we are interconnected with all beings, be they animal, vegetal and mineral. Come and listen to how Morton uses Schopenhauer, Stars Wars, and even toilets to elaborate on what he calls dark ecology.

This week my guest is Ann Cavoukian, Distinguished Expert-in-Residence, leading Privacy by Design Centre of Excellence at Ryerson University. Ann and I talk about privacy, GDPR and the concept of privacy by design, which Ann created. Privacy by design was recognized by the International Data Protection and Privacy Commissioners as an essential component of fundamental privacy protection and it is a core part of the European Union GDPR regulations. It is really interesting that GDPR is the next thing, from a privacy prospective, that is hitting security. I like GDPR, the privacy it promotes and freedom it will bring to the individual in a long run. It will ultimately force security to respect the individual right. Listen to the interview and learn more on how to win GDPR with Privacy by Design, Positive Sum Mindset and how to embed privacy and security in your operations. If you have any questions about preparing for GDPR or need help facilitating this process, email privacy@redzonetech.net Major Take-Aways From This Episode: Privacy is not about secrecy. Privacy breathes freedom, innovation, and prosperity. Privacy by Design could be embedded into the design of your technologies, policies, procedures and data architecture. How to get rid of "zero-sum mindset": embed both privacy and security in your operations. The importance of asking how much "baking privacy and security" is going to save you in a long run, not what is it going to cost you. Privacy (and Data Protection) by design and by default ( Article 25 of the EU GDPR) and transparency are the biggest game-changers with preparing for GDPR. Great resource to learn about Privacy by Design is International Council on Global Privacy and Security, By Design that highlights the importance of global privacy and security by design. Practical application of GDPR. How to show that you are serious about abiding by GDPR law?

He is a Bestselling author who has been awarded over 45 patents for breakthrough technologies including one of the world's smallest medical implants. He is also the founder and CEO of Cravve (http://www.whatcustomerscrave.com/ (www.whatcustomerscrave.com)). He has over 25 years' experience working with leading brands to solve complex strategic, innovation and customer experiences challenges that drive growth and profit. His clients represent top global brands like FedEx, Pfizer, Blue Cross, Kaiser Permanente, McDonald's, Gatorade, Dimer Motors Corporation, Johnson & Johnson and Cisco.  Nicholas is also one of the world's Top Keynote Speakers and travels the world speaking on Innovation, Future Trends, Healthcare, Leadership and Customer Experience.  Time in full-time business  Nick says he hasn't had a job in over 30 years. He left corporate life in favour of being autonomous.  Current Revenue streams  He generates his revenue by providing Fortune 500 companies with a diverse range of consultant services related to strategy, innovation and customer experience. He helps them build future ready organizations.  He also generates considerable revenue from his speaking business. He will have done 60 to 80 talks around the world in 2017 alone.  Tip 1: To be a successful boutique consultant competing with the largest firms in the world, you have to earn the right to serve your target clients. You need to write popular books, speak at all the top conferences, and have your community of fellow thought leaders validate your importance in the thought leader ecosystem.  Tip 2: Books are not a money maker but they help to propagate your message and differential view of the universe.  Science/Innovation type business  Nick invented one of the world's smallest micro silicone implants for ocular surface disease. He also invented one of the world's first wearable medical technologies 18 years ago. He is currently working with strategic partners like universities and industrial partners to start building out a disruption lab that will develop connected technologies that will help meet some of the new modern day challenges of healthcare.  Starting out in business  He used to work as a lifeguard in California when a friend referred him to a new company (STAAR Surgical) that was starting to make the first minimally invasive implant for cataract surgery. His friend needed someone to help market the product so Nick took up the challenge. Before marketing the product, he had to spend several weeks in a lab doing surgery on pigs' eyes. His experience in that lab intrigued him. Nick did very well in helping them launch the technology and later went on to start his own ophthalmology company through which he worked with a famous refractive surgeon, Dr. Ron Jensen. Together they created a line of breakthrough technologies in the area of refractive surgery. He later sold the company to one of the largest medical companies in the US.  He used his experience and expertise from running the ophthalmology company to start providing consulting services to healthcare companies.   Initial focus on strategy and innovation  Nick used to have a new product development function within his previous business through which they used to develop non-regulated medical devices. Eventually, they choose to concentrate more on helping companies understand the future trajectory of technology and consumerization so the companies can take what they learn and apply it towards improving their revenues, profitability and customer satisfaction.  Early inventions  Nick was involved with a company in the dry eye business and that equipped him with the knowledge of the eye-related healthcare...

The status of the superpower of the USSR after WWII became a reality due to its scientific and technological achievements.

Llewellyn Cox, PhD joins the ScriptPhD.com podcast to discuss his revolutionary new not-for-profit biotechnology incubator space "Lab Launch." Topics of discussion include: how lack of funding and overflow of PhDs in the current scientific climate stifles creativity and innovation, why biotechnology will cultivate new industries, how no strings attached incubators like Lab Launch help give rise to Silicon Valleys of the future and why we should be hopeful about advancing scientific progress.
