Our interviewee is Amrei Bahr, a philosopher specialising in applied ethics, aesthetics and the philosophy of technology at the University of Stuttgart. She is one of the co-founders of the university policy initiative ‘I am Hanna'. We talk about her research on applied ethics. She criticises the current open access publication system, which she believes is still a financial burden for many researchers. Bahr also emphasises the ethical problems of global waste management, in particular the harmful conditions in the recycling of electronic waste in Ghana. She argues in favour of a more differentiated approach to recycling and calls for better working conditions in academia, referring to her campaign against fixed-term contracts.

How much influence do personal experiences of high-ranking officials have on EU environmental policies? What happens when science-based conservation collides with political interests? Can farmers and environmentalists find common ground in nature restoration? In this episode, I talk to Faustine Bas-Defossez, Director for Nature, Health and Environment at the European Environmental Bureau (EEB), who provides insights into the complex world of EU environmental policymaking.In our conversation, we discuss several pressing environmental issues, including the recent changes to the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), the controversial recommendation to lower wolves' protection status in Europe and the implementation challenges of the Nature Restoration Law. Faustine explains how scientific evidence sometimes takes a back seat to political motivations, using the example of how a single incident involving the European Commission President's pony influenced wolf protection policy. She also discusses the challenges of balancing agricultural practices with environmental protection, highlighting the systemic changes needed in our food production and consumption patterns.The discussion ends on an optimistic note with Faustine sharing a success story from the Strategic Dialogue on the Future of Agriculture. She describes how representatives from seemingly opposing interests - from environmental NGOs to industrial farming organisations - reached a meaningful consensus on future agricultural policies. This achievement demonstrates that despite the challenges and polarization in environmental politics, collaborative solutions are possible when stakeholders commit to constructive dialogue.Subscribe to Tommy's Outdoors: Conservation and Science NewsletterSupport the Podcast and Buy Me a Coffee.Recommended Books: tommysoutdoors.com/booksMerch: tommysoutdoors.com/shopFollow Tommy's Outdoors on Bluesky, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and Facebook

Most of the NC politics world knows Dr. Jeff Warren as Senate President Pro Tem Phil Berger's first science advisor starting in 2011 before he began work at the NC Collaboratory in 2017.   Dr. Warren talks about is policy work for Sen. Berger, his career at what is now the NC Department of Environmental Quality before working in the Senate, the creation of the NC Collaboratory in 2016, teaching science policy at UNC, and how he squares politics, science, and religion.   Plus, Skye and Brian talk about a pair of outstanding Senate and Supreme Court races still counting ballots, big campaign donors, the General Assembly's lame-duck session, House leadership elections, former Labor Commish Josh Dobson's new gig, gubernatorial transition team, #TOTW, and more.   The Do Politics Better podcast is sponsored by New Frame, the NC Travel Industry Association, the NC Beer & Wine Wholesalers Association, the NC Pork Council, and the NC Healthcare Association.

Our episode will talk about 1.5C – what it means science wise, policy wise,  and communications wise. 1.5C has been one of the most recognised numbers when we talk about climate change. Where did this number come from? The goal of limiting global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels is a key aspect of international efforts to address climate change. This target is central to the Paris Agreement.1.5C has actually been the rallying call of the alliance of small islands states (also called the AOSIS group), backed by scientific evidence from research by the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research. AOSIS argued that 1.5C would be the safe limit for their countries. In a 1.5C world, many of the deadliest effects of climate change are reduced, especially for small islands and low-lying nations threatened by rising sea levels and storms. In Paris at COP21, 106 countries supported the 1.5C limit, allowing it to be part of the Paris Agreement.But there has been a lot of discussion about 1.5C in the last months – especially with reports coming out that the global average temperature has breached the target. Last year, 2023, was the hottest year globally since records began in 1850, and 2024 might be warmer, because of periodic influencing by El Nino warming. So it perhaps seems improbable that 1.5C is an achievable target. What does it mean when we breach the 1.5C target?In this episode, we have Asher Minns, Executive Director of the Tyndall Centre and Manoj Joshi, Professor of Climate Dynamics at the School of Environmental Sciences at the UEA.Music by Ben Sound

Science has been thrust into elections and political fights among lawmakers. Vaccinations against Covid, measles, and other contagious illnesses have provoked protests on the left and, especially, the right. Have Americans lost trust in science and the hope it once offered to bring progress? Why has science become another casualty of the fights between Democrats and Republicans? Join us for a discussion of these issues with the University of Rochester's Jamie Druckman and Cary Funk, past research director at Pew Research Center.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour confronts the climate crisis - what can she and others do to take action. We discuss that story, science reliability, trust in government, and the fiscal apocalypse.

Huberman Lab Key Takeaways The human sense of smell is innately extremely sensitive and can be trained to be even more sensitive, especially in the absence of other senses (like vision or hearing)Every time you meet someone you are taking chemicals from that person and applying it to your own body to process information about that person – this may explain why some people become “fast friends” or click right awayIf you lose your sense of smell for 1-1.5 years, it's unlikely you'll ever get it back; it's a ‘use it or lose it' systemLoss of smell is an early indicator of neurological degeneration and diseaseWe're constantly shifting our nasal cycle AKA which nostril we use most through a mechanism driven by the sympathetic/parasympathetic nervous systemInformation processing & cognition is linked to our olfactory systemWe are always sensing our own odor clouds to change our cognition and behavior – whether you realize it or notIn our most basic behaviors, we follow our nose not our eyes: if a food is visually appealing but smells bad, we are less likely to eat it; we'll be more attracted to a romantic partner who smells pleasant regardless of looks versus a potential partner who looks nice but smells badThe future of digitized olfaction may be used in medical diagnoses (but nowhere in the near future)Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgIn this episode, my guest is Noam Sobel, PhD, professor of neurobiology in the department of brain sciences at the Weizmann Institute of Science. Dr. Sobel explains his lab's research on the biological mechanisms of smell (“olfaction”) and how sensing odorants and chemicals in our environment impacts human behavior, cognition, social connections, and hormones. He explains how smell is a crucial component of “social sensing” and how we use olfaction when meeting new people to determine things about their physiology and psychology, and he explains how this impacts friendships and romantic partners. He explains how smell influences emotions, hormone levels, memories and the relationship between breathing and autonomic homeostasis. He describes how smell-based screening tests can aid disease diagnosis and explains his lab's work on digitization of smell — which may soon allow online communication to include “sending of odors” via the internet. Dr. Sobel's work illustrates how sensitive human olfaction is and how it drives much of our biology and behavior. For the full show notes, visit hubermanlab.com.

An analysis of the efforts of American nurses to establish nursing as an academic discipline and nurses as valued researchers in the decades after World War II. Nurses represent the largest segment of the US health care workforce and spend significantly more time with patients than any other member of the health care team.  Dominique A. Tobbell's book Dr. Nurse: Science, Politics, and the Transformation of American Nursing (U Chicago Press, 2022) probes their history to examine major changes that have taken place in American health care in the second half of the twentieth century. The book examines the major changes in nursing education and the place of nursing in the post-war research university, revealing how federal and state health and higher education policies shaped education within health professions after World War II. Starting in the 1950s, academic nurses sought to construct a science of nursing--distinct from that of the related biomedical or behavioral sciences--that would provide the basis of nursing practice. Facing broad changes in patient care driven by the introduction of new medical innovations, they worked both to develop science-based nursing practice and to secure their roles within the post-war research university. By their efforts, academic nurses transformed nursing's labor into a valuable site of knowledge production and demonstrated how the application of this knowledge was integral to improving patient outcomes and healthcare delivery. Exploring the knowledge claims, strategies, and politics involved as academic nurses negotiated their roles and nursing's future, Dr. Nurse reveals how state-supported health centers have profoundly shaped nursing education and health care delivery. Claire Clark is a medical educator, historian of medicine, and associate professor in the University of Kentucky's College of Medicine. Learn more about your ad choices.

Hey we're back! On this fun as heck but mind-bending episode, we ask the question, will we end up more like Mad Max, a postapocalyptic nightmare, fighting over fuel and resources, or more like Star Trek or The Orville, where we merge science and tech to ascend to the next level of humanity? Secondly, we'll talk about ideology as a whole, then peer into our ideological differences now, including an assessment on what happened during the midterms. Then we'll peer into our natural inclinations and differences to find out where our species will most like go into the vast future based on the past and present today? It's all in hopes to teach the importance of accepting ideological and personal differences and inclusion so that our differences aren't our stumbling block, but an asset and a rite of passage into a better and more diverse society in the future. We'll even go into an article that takes a very logical view into what humans may be like ten thousand years from now. This episode is a lot of fun, and we hope you enjoy!Links:https://linktr.ee/chefbrycomedySurviving Empathy Podcast | Twitter, Instagram, Facebook | Linktree Hosted on Acast.

On this fun as heck but mind-bending episode, we ask the question, will we end up more like Mad Max, a postapocalyptic nightmare, fighting over fuel and resources, or more like Star Trek or The Orville, where we merge science and tech to ascend to the next level of humanity? Secondly, we'll talk about ideology as a whole, then peer into our ideological differences now, including an assessment on what happened during the midterms. Then we'll peer into our natural inclinations and differences to find out where our species will most like go into the vast future based on the past and present today? It's all in hopes to teach the importance of accepting ideological and personal differences and inclusion so that our differences aren't our stumbling block, but an asset and a rite of passage into a better and more diverse society in the future. We'll even go into an article that takes a very logical view into what humans may be like ten thousand years from now. This episode is a lot of fun, and we hope you enjoy!Links: https://linktr.ee/chefbrycomedySurviving Empathy Podcast | Twitter, Instagram, Facebook | Linktree Hosted on Acast.

Saleem Ali is the Distinguished Prof. of Energy & the Environment at the Univ. of Delaware. He's known for his work in environmental conflict resolution and was recognized as an “Emerging Explorer” by National Geographic. Dubbed the “The Alchemist” by Forbes, Ali connects politics, science, and nature in Earthly Order, weaving narratives of his experience as a National Geographic field explorer throughout. I've included advance praise for the book below my signature. He's also the author of Earthly Order: How Natural Laws Define Human Life, which just hit shelves July 1.We discuss how  natural and social/political systems influence planetary crisis (and climate change in particular), how climate change acceptance evolved over the time he's been focused on this topic, and how much hope we should have for the future, considering how much work there's left to be done.As always, we welcome your feedback.

On this episode of “Death in The Garden,” we share our interview with Frédéric Leroy, professor of food science and biotechnology at the University of Brussels, President of the Belgian Association of Meat Science and Technology, President of Belgian Society for Food Microbiology, Administrator of ALEPH2020, and member of the Belgian Nutrition Society and Global Food Justice Alliance. We discuss the intersections between the campaigns to demonize meat-eating, the corporatization of the food system, the proliferation of chronic disease, biased nutritional science, global deficiencies and malnutrition, and animal-rights groups. We also touch on the biological indicators which prove meat-eating is natural, and we talk about how animal have been systematically obscured from perception and cordoned to industrial methods, and how that separation has been integral to animal rights abuses. We discuss the connection between The Great Reset, the World Economic Forum, the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, the UN, and the transformation to factory produced foods, as well as the expansion of “protected areas” under plans like 30x30 or “Half-Earth.” We talk about what models of scientific analysis should be implemented in the future to understand the complexity of human nutrition science with more rigor, as well as the need for certain regulations to end animal cruelty and regenerate land.

Since the 1970s, health professionals, researchers, governments, advocacy groups, and commercial interests have invested in the pursuit of something called “sexual health.” Under this expansive banner, a wide array of programs have been launched, organizations founded, initiatives funded, products sold—and yet, no book before this one asks: What does it mean to be sexually healthy? When did people conceive of a form of health called sexual health? And how did it become the gateway to addressing a host of social harms and the reimagining of private desires and public dreams? Conjoining “sexual” with “health” changes both terms: it alters how we conceive of sexuality and transforms what it means to be healthy, prompting new expectations of what medicine can provide. Yet the ideal of achieving sexual health remains elusive and open-ended, and the benefits and costs of promoting it are unevenly distributed across genders, races, and sexual identities. Rather than a thing apart, sexual health is intertwined with nearly every conceivable topical debate—from sexual dysfunction to sexual violence, from reproductive freedom to the practicalities of sexual contact in a pandemic.  In The Quest for Sexual Health: How an Elusive Ideal Has Transformed Science, Politics, and Everyday Life (U Chicago Press, 2022), Steven Epstein analyzes the rise, proliferation, uptake, and sprawling consequences of sexual health activities, offering critical tools to assess those consequences, expand capacities for collective decision making, and identify pathways that promote social justice. Rachel Pagones is an acupuncturist, educator, and author based in Cambridge, England. Her book, Acupuncture as Revolution: Suffering, Liberation, and Love (Brevis Press) was published in 2021.

This episode features Ben Hunt, founder of Second Foundation Partners, which hosts the Epsilon Theory content portal.   I reached out to Ben because I'd been starting to feel myself shifting gears on my feelings and perceptions around the ongoing COVID pandemic, and I knew Ben would be able to help put things in proper perspective.   For most of the past 18 months or so I have been firmly in support of most of the measures taken by governments to manage the health impacts of the virus. We adhered strictly to lockdown guidelines, supported border closures, followed protocols, and received vaccines and boosters as soon as they were available.   But over the past few weeks I'd felt myself becoming frustrated with the lack of progress on the policy front. After all, residents of developed countries have had access to highly effective vaccines for almost 9 months. Every resident has had ample opportunity to get fully vaccinated at no financial cost, and residents of many countries have had plenty of time to get free booster shots.   Yet still, here we are. Everyone I talk to seems to be much more terrified of testing positive than of actually getting the virus. Everyone wants to travel, or go back to university, or see family – live a fulfilling life with the people we care about! – but they're petrified about facing trip cancelations, quarantines, and/or huge expenses from a positive COVID test.   Isn't the world upside down when most people are more afraid of running afoul the regulations in place to prevent a danger, than they are of the danger itself!   These are the themes I felt I needed to cover with Ben, and we did cover most of them in our 90 minute conversation. Ben was extremely patient and generous with his time, wisdom and insights. However, I admit to still feeling like several critical points went unresolved. This gap was definitely my fault, and not Ben's. It just took me a few days of further ruminating to see the holes I wanted to fill.   I think this is an important and timely conversation with someone who understand the topic from top to bottom, and who sees the issues with clear eyes, and a full heart. I hope you get as much value out of it as I did.

Like many of you, John Morawetz's safety journey was a twisted one; full of priceless experiences, opportunities, and knowledge. His childhood was a little different than most. As a middle-class kid of two professors, John knew more about graphs than most kids knew about sports. He turned his early passion for justice and people into a career in health and safety, becoming Director of ICWUC Center for Workers Health and Safety and recently winning APHA's Eula Bingham Award for Excellence in OHS Education and Training.

Now that we are further into the pandemic and are confronting mutations of the Covid-19 coronavirus, it is time to look at what worked, what didn't, what we still don't know, and what we should consider when allowing the government to dictate our behavior. Cries to follow the science have been shown not to be based on any settled science and life has been dramatically altered in ways that may cause more harm than the virus itself. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/solis-veritas/support

Bill Frist is a nationally acclaimed heart and lung transplant surgeon, former U.S. Senate Majority Leader, and is actively engaged in health policy and education reform. In this episode, Bill takes us through his long and varied career in medicine, politics, and business, which includes establishing the organ transplantation program at Vanderbilt as well as rising from the lowest-ranked member of the U.S. Senate to the Majority Leader in two terms. We discuss some of the most significant moments of his time in the Senate, such as advocating for AIDS prevention programs' funding and addressing complicated issues like stem cell research and the end-of-life issues raised by the Terri Schiavo case. We also hear his first-person account of what happened behind the scenes on September 11, 2001, his frustration with our lack of preparation for the pandemic, and his thoughts about the current state of U.S. politics. Finally, we talk about his current endeavors in health policy and education reform. We discuss: Bill’s decision to pursue medicine and do organ transplants (3:40); The miraculous nature of organ transplants: History, Bill’s work, and the most exciting things to come (12:00); Frist’s experience building up the heart transplant program at Vanderbilt (21:45); The famous rivalry between surgeons Denton Cooley and Michael DeBakey (29:15); How the medical field can attract bright young people to pursue medicine (33:00); Bill’s decision to leave medicine and run for the US senate (38:00); The value in having scientists and physicians in Congress (47:30); A discussion on whether or not senators should have term limits (55:30); The highly polarized nature of politics, and how we can fix it with empathy (1:00:30); Bill’s time in the Senate and quick rise to Senate Majority Leader (1:05:30); The lifesaving impact of the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) under George W. Bush (1:15:15); How Bill reversed course on his view of the value and morality of stem cell research (1:19:45); Complex end-of-life decisions, and Bill’s role in the infamous Terri Schiavo case—a story that captures the conflict among law, morality, and improving technology (1:30:00); Remembering the events of September 11th from Bill’s perspective in the Senate (1:49:45); The coronavirus pandemic: Bill’s accurate 2005 prediction, and a discussion about future preparedness (1:56:45); The divided state of US politics, and how we can come together (2:06:45); How experience in medicine and politics is shaping Bill’s current endeavors in business, reforming education, palliative care, and more (2:12:45); and More.

“Science transcends politics,” says Dr. George Daley. “My hope is that physicians and scientists will, in fact, be a force for global harmony, and that will be a silver lining to come out of the pandemic.” In this important conversation with Shiv Gaglani, Dr. Daley, who is an internationally recognized leader in stem cell science and cancer biology, describes his collaboration with recent Nobel laureate Jennifer Doudna and others to call for restraint in experimentation with stem cell technology, decries the current tension between the U.S. government and the scientific community. He also shares how, in response to COVID-19, he and his team were able to connect and mobilize disparate research communities -- including Chinese and European colleagues -- to develop the Massachusetts Consortium on Pathogen Readiness. Tune in to hear more about these critical topics and discover Dr. Daley's circuitous path to medicine and his perspective on COVID as a defining experience for this generation.

Today's failures of science and crises in politics are attributable, more often than not, to the same source: a lack of prudence. Dr. Kevin E. Stuart explores the meaning of this missing virtue, addresses the main causes of its disappearance and suggests ways to bring it back. Episode was recorded on on Sept 23rd, 2020

Sports Talk, Politics Talk, Science Talk, Family talk, basically a personal episode because Russ and Coral didn’t watch Star Trek Lower Decks. Also, what do you call it when the collective has rose color glasses for Mario 64 but you literally have zero nostalgia for this groundbreaking classic? I don't know but it's an interesting episode. Expect more Star Trek Lower Decks episodes as we rush to catch up, because I want to move onto Discovery Season 3. We're Outdated References, but I don't want us to be too outdated. --Nathan 

Hey there friends! This is Nicolas Cevallos. Thanks for tuning into yet another episode of Pass the Mike where I have the pleasure of sharing the narratives of imminent or current medical professionals. In short, my job is to build you a community of mentors from the folks that have come before you. I'm super stoked to be able to start this podcast with one of my great friends and research Gurus Humza Khan. That is H-U-M-Z-A SPACE K-H-A-N. Humza is a rising senior at UCLA pursuing a degree in what is the longest named major known at UCLA which is Microbiology, Immunology, and Molecular Genetics and will be graduating two quarters early. He's not one to shy away from taking 20+ units. Humza and I met during our hospital program and during our first meeting I knew there was so much potential to him, he felt like the student version of the avatar and just needed to take time to master the 4 elements or college scene before he went super saiyan.

Here's what we're talking about this week on the GeekWire Podcast: As numbers on COVID-19 improve, the debate begins over when and how Seattle, Washington state and the country will return to normal life. Gov. Jay Inslee and Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos have some thoughts. Washington’s attorney general sues Facebook for violating the state’s law on political ads. Microsoft says Amazon has only itself to blame for losing the Defense Departments JEDI cloud contract. And the return of our Random Channel! We’ll talk about the finale of Lego Masters (spoiler alert) and see what else is ringing our bell this week. As Washington state COVID cases keep falling, here’s the data driving the ongoing ‘stay home’ order Washington state had its lowest daily total of new cases in a month on Wednesday, 89, but has since seen cases rise again. If we relax social distancing now, projections show new cases could jump to 300 daily by mid-May, Inslee says. Deaths could also jump. The projections are from the two Seattle-area groups: the Institute for Disease Modeling and the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, or IHME, which has come under criticism for its approach. We need more testing before we can begin to gradually reopen, Inslee says. He says it’s “unknowable” if he’ll be able to lift the stay-at-home order on May 4. Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos calls for regular COVID-19 testing ‘on a global scale across all industries’ In his annual investor letter, Bezos says that regular testing of everyone globally (not just at Amazon) is the key to returning to normal. He pointed to Amazon’s efforts to build its own testing capability and other efforts to protect workers’ safety. First known COVID-19 death among Amazon’s workforce took place two weeks ago, company announced Tuesday. Amazon's stock hit an all-time high this week, reflecting increased demand for its products and services. Can Amazon keep its huge and growing workforce safe? Gates Foundation’s CEO worries about pandemic politics — and says ‘we have nothing to hide’ Gates Foundation is allotting $150 million more to fight the pandemic, $250 million total. Critics claim the foundation is stoking fears and pushing vaccines as part of a “Big Pharma” agenda. Bill Gates decried Trump’s stated intention this week to stop U.S. funding of the WHO, saying blocking funds right now would be “as dangerous as it sounds.” In other news ...  Washington AG sues Facebook for violating state political ad law Amazon ‘bid high and lost’ on JEDI, Microsoft says after release of DoD watchdog report As coronavirus consumes world, Microsoft unveils biodiversity initiative to address challenges that will outlast COVID-19 Amazon fires two employees who called for climate change reform and better warehouse conditions And in our Random Channel discussion ...  Oh, baby, ‘LEGO Masters’ finale lands like a brick on outraged fans who dispute choice of winner Goat 2 Meeting Nature Is Bouncing Back During the Coronavirus Crisis—but for How Long?

In this episode of Horns of a Dilemma, chair of the Texas National Security Review Editorial Board Frank Gavin interviews political scientist Robert Jervis. In a wide-ranging interview that reaches all the way back to Jervis’ undergraduate days at Oberlin College in the late 1950’s, Gavin explores the factors which shaped Jervis’ career, the state of the political science field today, especially as it relates to security studies, and how political scientists deal with challenges ranging from the expansiveness of their theoretical claims to balancing political considerations in policy-relevant work. This interview was recorded during the University of Texas Clements Center’s Summer Seminar on History, Statecraft, and Diplomacy.   Music and Production by Tre Hester

WPC Young Professional's Director Miranda Hawkins interviews famed UW scientist Cliff Mass on the policy implications of putting science ahead of politics. 

Host: John J. Russell, MD Guest: Meredith Wadman, BM, BCh, M.S. Until the late 1960s, tens of thousands of American children suffered crippling birth defects if their mothers had been exposed to rubella, popularly known as German measles, while pregnant; there was no vaccine and little understanding of how the disease devastated fetuses. In June 1962, a young biologist in Philadelphia, using human tissue samples sent from Sweden, produced a line of cells that allowed the creation of vaccines against rubella and other common childhood diseases. Two years later, in the midst of a massive German measles epidemic, the vaccine that would one day wipe out homegrown rubella was introduced. This vaccine has since protected more than 150 million people in the United States, and its development method has also led to other vaccines that have protected billions of people around the world from polio, rabies, chicken pox, measles, hepatitis A, shingles, and adenovirus. Host Dr. John Russell chats with Meredith Wadman, author of The Vaccine Race: Science, Politics, and the Human Costs of Defeating Disease, about the story of both the science of this urgent race and the political and ethical controversies that nearly ended it prematurely.

Interview with BC Green Party leader Dr. Andrew Weaver, in the wake of the May 9th election that has left the Green Party in a powerful position. As Dr. Weaver is knee-deep in negotiations with NDP and Liberal leaders who look to earn Green king-maker support, he took a break to offer his thoughts on the role of science in politics, his stance on climate change and intergenerational equity, his strong feelings about the importance of climate scientists communicating their work, his suggestions for citizen action for positive environmental change, and more.

How's that for a click-baity title? In my desperation for content, I've started to make it a habit of recording two episodes from one interview. This one might make me rethink the practice, as much as I enjoyed it.

Honeybees, among all types of pollinators, pollinate over 1/3 of all U.S. foodstuffs. And they are in trouble. Colony Collapse Disorder is just one of a hive of serious issues compromising the health of honeybees kept by commercial-scale and hobby beekeepers, here and abroad. Many stakeholders share concerns - and conflicting views - about honeybee health: agricultural growers, government agencies, pesticide and herbicide manufacturing corporations, scientists, academics and - of course - beekeepers at every honeybee husbandry scale. Why can't these interests concur about causes - and work toward solutions - to critical bee-health issues?                 Researchers from the University of Wisconsin explored what is "credible" and "trusted" amid the human buzz of bee-related viewpoints, while also digging into bee health issue details. Biologist Dr. Sainath Suryanarayanan talks with Earthworms host jean Ponzi about this work. He co-authored the new book "Vanishing Bees: Science, Politics, and Honeybee Health" (Rutgers University Press, 2016) with sociologist Dr. Daniel Lee Kleinman. Suryanarayan is Associate Scientist for the Study of Trans-Disciplinary Biomedical Research, Department of Population Health Sciences, UW-Madison.

How to spot an exceptional leader (or not), according to a top UK board-level headhunter.http://gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/science-politics-and-intuition-in-executive-selectionAn HR manager, a politician and a business executive walk into a bar to choose the next CEO of Barclays, Archbishop of Canterbury or head of your kids' school... take your pick. The last forty years have seen major changes in the way people are chosen to fill front-line or middle management jobs. We now have job descriptions, person specifications and competencies. Interviews sit alongside ability tests, psychometric profiles, job simulations or '360 feedback'. But how people get selected for jobs at the top of organisations has changed very little. Why? Are we choosing leaders badly, and if so, could we do better. Douglas Board argues 'yes'.This lecture is based on the author's doctoral research into his experience as a board-level headhunter. Over 18 years he recruited leaders for a diversity of organisations - household-name retailers and NHS trusts, banks and universities, government departments and charities. A way of understanding our skills, our thinking and our acting (and our science) is proposed based on the concept of 'practice' as developed by the French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu (1930 - 2002). Seeing differently the place of science, politics and intuition in our lives and our society, clarifies why leadership selection is stuck and how it could change. It also offers insights into ourselves.http://gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/science-politics-and-intuition-in-executive-selectionThis was a part of a symposium explores leadership from a number of angles, focusing on recent contributions to aspects of leadership at the most senior levels which management literature tends to neglect. Speakers assess the correct balance between public leadership, the roles of power and politics in effective leadership and the limited treatment of this subject in much conventional thinking. They also consider who we would want to lead us, and ask whether we should offer ourselves for such roles?http://gresham.ac.uk/leading-at-the-top-power-and-politicsThe transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: http://gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/science-politics-and-intuition-in-executive-selectionGresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597.

An introduction to geoengineering, covering the broad range of issues raised by the emergence of climate engineering as a response to climate change. Why geoengineering? What has led us to the point where serious attention is now being paid to the possibility of regulating the Earth's climate system? If the structure of political systems, the power of lobby groups and the influence of denial and evasion have prevented effective measures to reduce carbon emissions, how will these same factors condition the development and possible deployment of climate engineering?

Session 4 Wed. April 28, 2010 Reviving the Estuary: Science, Politics, and Education Moderator: Dr. John Waldman, Queens College Speakers/Panelists Deborah A. Mans, Executive Director, NY/NJ Baykeeper Christopher J. Collins, Executive Director, Solar One Cortney Worrall, Director of Programs, Metropolitan Waterfront Alliance Murray Fisher, Urban Assembly New York Harbor School William Kornblum, Author, At Sea in the City: New York at the Water’s Edge In 1609, New York’s future waterfront was an arcadian shore of forests, wetlands, beaches, and sand bars, according to Eric Sanderson's book Mannahatta. That landscape is lost forever, but visions of a post-industrial, neo-natural waterfront are longstanding. In 1944, futurists Paul and Percival Goodman proposed that Manhattan "open out toward the water," lining its gritty waterfront with new parks. They were prescient: today the water’s edge of Manhattan is evolving from a "no-man's-land" into a "highly desirable zone of parks," in the words of writer Phillip Lopate. The newly designated "Manhattan Waterfront Greenway" is cobbled together from many bits and pieces like Battery Park City, Hudson River Park, Riverside Park South, restored Harlem River parks, and tiny Stuyvesant Cove Park––each with its own chronicle of past and present struggles among property owners, community groups, developers, politicians, planners, lawyers, and other stakeholders. Elsewhere in the city, Brooklyn Bridge Park, the Brooklyn Waterfront Greenway, Governors Island, the South Bronx Greenway, Pelham Bay South Waterfront Park, the Bronx River Greenway, and Gateway National Recreation Area are among many waterfront works in progress. The colloquium series will address selected topics and issues relating to what has been achieved and what remains to be done to continue the transformation of New York’s waterfronts.

Political science and Nuclear Meltdown by Charles Willock, Ian Woolf and Patrick Rubie News by Ed Politt Presented by Ian Woolf Panelled and Produced by Patrick Rubie

Chris Mooney is an acclaimed writer about subjects at intersection of science and politics. His writing has appeared in Wired, New Scientist, Free Inquiry, Skeptical Inquirer, Slate, Mother Jones, The Washington Post, The LA Times, and The Boston Globe, and he has appeared widely in the media, on programs such as The Daily Show with John Stewart, NPR's Science Friday, and Fresh Air with Terry Gross. His blog, called "The Intersection," was a recipient of Scientific American's 2005 Science and Technology web award, which noted that "science is lucky to have such a staunch ally in acclaimed journalist Chris Mooney." His book, The Republican War on Science is newly out in paperback, completely revised, and was hailed as "a landmark in contemporary political reporting" by Salon.com and a "well-researched, closely argued and amply referenced indictment of the right wing's assault on science and scientists" by Scientific American. In this conversation with D.J. Grothe, Mooney explores how important science is for deciding the political issues facing the country, and how science has been under attack by right-wingers in Republican party in a number of areas, including stem cell research, climate change, Intelligent Design, and sex education. He also discusses what listeners who value science can do in response to this assault, and discusses the midterm elections. Also in this episode, Toni Van Pelt details CFI's new Office of Public Policy in Washington, D.C.
