Podcasts about scoping

Are you interested in the governance of urban informal settlements? Our debate today works with the article titled Governance of urban informal settlements in Africa: A scoping review from 2025, by Behailu Mulate Ewnetu and Bo Kyong Seo, published in the Heliyon journal. This is a great preparation to our next interview with Carina Tenewaa Kanbi in episode 436 talking about the need to involve the informal settlements more into the urban futures. Since we are investigating the future of cities, I thought it would be interesting to see what has been done to involve informal settlements into the urban fabric. This article investigates current governance practices regarding informal settlements and advocates for collaborative governance models while identifying key knowledge gaps for future research.Find the article through this link.Abstract: This scoping review examines the challenges in the governance of informal settlements in Africa and the existing interactions among different stakeholders. The objective is to identify emerging topics in the management of informal settlements and research gaps that will inform future research. Based on the specific inclusion and exclusion criteria, we reviewed 30 peer-reviewed articles, papers, and UN-Habitat documents that collectively address urban governance and informal settlements across various African regions and countries. The descriptive and thematic analyses reveal that over the past 22 years, 20 out of 54 African countries have produced knowledge on informal settlement governance. Our review highlights the national and local government's inability to coordinate the problems in the informal settlements and the existence of varying interests of different stakeholders that readily provoke disputes. It urges stakeholders to make more accountable commitments and coordination in managing the upgrading of the informal settlements and suggests a few research gaps to be filled. This review sheds light on the literature on urban governance of informal settlements in Africa and the global South.Connected episodes you might be interested in:No.415R - Rethinking the contribution of creative economies in AfricaNo.416 - Interview with Raoul Rugamba about Kigali and Africa's creative industriesYou can find the transcript through ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠th⁠i⁠⁠⁠s link⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠What was the most interesting part for you?

Enhancing Mobility in Students with Non-Ambulatory Cerebral Palsy in School Settings: A Scoping Review of the MOVE Program

What happens when a penetration test starts without a clear scope? In this episode, we discuss the most common scoping mistakes in cybersecurity engagements, how they impact both clients and consultants, and why a poorly defined scope can turn a simple assessment into a nightmare. From missing assets to unrealistic expectations, we'll explore real-world lessons and best practices for getting scoping right from day one. X: @almorabeaX: @CyberRiddlerWebsite: https://thecyberriddler.com

Hey friends! Today we're going deep on external network pentesting — something I realize we've barely touched in however many episodes we've done. I'm currently in a long stretch of back-to-back external assessments, so it felt like a good time to talk about it. Here's what we get into: Scoping headaches — why the old "count your public IPs and multiply by a big hourly rate" approach drives me crazy, and how we actually scope external tests to be fair to everyone Web apps in scope or not? — this needs its own conversation before the test starts, and skipping it causes pain later Testing under real conditions — the debate around whether to request an allowlist vs. scanning as-is, and why I lean toward creating the best testing environment possible Multi-tool enumeration — why we run Nessus, Project Discovery, and Shodan together, and what each catches that the others miss Reporting the surface — why just walking a customer through what's exposed to the internet (ports, services, screenshots) has more value than I used to give it credit for SNMP and NTP findings — two protocols that keep showing up open when they really (probably) shouldn't be OSINT phase — how we've grown externals to include open-source intelligence work on the customer's domains, not just IP-level scanning WordPress hygiene — it keeps coming up on these assessments, and I've got some practical recommendations Dorking and metadata searches — using AI to quickly sift through publicly exposed documents for things attackers could use to pretext a social engineering attack Subdomain hijacking — a sneaky attack path I've seen in the wild that flies right in the face of all the "check if the URL is spelled right" advice we give users Even when the technical findings are pretty quiet, there's a lot you can do to punch up an external pentest report with stuff that's genuinely valuable to customers!

A scoping review published in the Early Childhood Education Journal analyzed over 50 studies on play-based learning for ages 4-6, and the findings are too significant to ignore. This research synthesis shows play-based learning enhances cognitive skills, executive function, literacy, mathematics, and social-emotional development—yet we're not acting on it. Parents remain skeptical of play as a teaching method, though their concerns fade when they see quality programs firsthand. Teachers endorse play but struggle to connect it with curricular requirements. And there's persistent confusion about whether there's one "right" way to implement play-based learning. The research clarifies this: effective practice blends free play, guided play, and games. Different types of play support different developmental outcomes, so restricting children to a single approach is like limiting them to one food group. Teachers need the flexibility and professional development to use this full spectrum responsively. We have the evidence. A 29-page appendix with 50+ study citations proves it. The question is whether we'll use it now—or look back in 20 years wondering why we didn't act when the research was right in front of us. For educators, administrators, grad students, and anyone building evidence-based early childhood programs. Find show notes at https://notjustcute.com/podcast/episode86

Taking up the challenge of crafting a top-notch screenplay treatment about the life of Napoleon Bonaparte, Alex Stevenson is joined by James Topham (who knows a thing or two about screenwriting) and Ben Deery (who knows a thing or two about acting) to put the movie world to rights. Having analysed the pitfalls and frustrations of Ridley Scott's Napoleon 2023 in the first season the Napoleon Movie Quarter-Hourly, this time round the team have to come up with the magic themselves.They do not succeed in this opening episode. But the creative process is a messy one, it turns out, and our trio very much hope listeners will struggle through these opening lurches towards excellence in order to access the cinematic gold which, ultimately, lies at the culmination of this project.As our resident AI bot N-AI-poleon Bot-aparte puts it:The team discusses what makes compelling screenwriting, focusing on the importance of theme, character, and narrative structure, and explores strategies for portraying Napoleon on screen Deliberation over Napoleon's core traits, debating insecurity, power, and the idea of him as an "addicted gambler" constantly pushing his luck, shapes the central approach to the scriptThe hosts entertain genre-bending ideas—from a heist film to comedic undertones—while considering historical accuracy, key relationships (like with Josephine), and the inclusion of iconic antagonists such as Talleyrand Plans are set to collaboratively develop the screenplay “Napoleon: One Last Job” live on the podcast, tackling 15 pages at a time, blending their theatrical, historical, and screenwriting perspectivesListeners are advised not to get too excited about the whole heist thing. That might not last too long.

I've reached a point where the marketplace of ideas feels broken. The conversation around the Iran war, especially the discussion about oil prices and the Strait of Hormuz, has been less about understanding events and more about reacting to every twitch in the market.This realization hit me last weekend when I watched otherwise smart commentators react breathlessly to oil futures spiking. Writers like Nate Silver and Derek Thompson framed the surge in prices as a potentially catastrophic moment for the Trump administration, a Rubicon that could permanently damage the president's economic credibility.That logic makes sense in theory. Gas prices are one of the most politically sensitive indicators in American life. If they rise sharply and stay elevated, the economic narrative can turn quickly against any administration. But what bothered me wasn't the conclusion. It was how little anyone seemed to know about the mechanics behind the story.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.The Strait of Hormuz, through which a massive share of the world's oil flows, became the center of speculation. Could Iran shut it down? Had it ever been fully closed before? What would the United States do if shipping lanes were mined?These are complex questions. Yet much of the discussion reduced them to the most basic possible analysis: oil prices go up, oil prices go down.The Problem With Market Narratives and the Age of Info SlopOver the course of a single night, I found myself obsessively researching the issue. I dug into the Iran–Iraq tanker wars of the 1980s, when both countries targeted shipping in the Persian Gulf. I looked at how mines were deployed in the Strait of Hormuz and how the United States eventually intervened to escort tankers and protect trade routes.The historical lesson was clear. Even during the worst periods of that conflict, the strait never truly closed. Oil shipments slowed and risks increased, but global energy markets adapted.By Monday morning, the markets themselves seemed to confirm the lesson. Oil prices surged, then dropped back below their previous levels. The panic narrative collapsed almost as quickly as it appeared.What replaced it was not clarity but confusion. Rumors circulated that Iran was mining the strait. Other reports suggested ships were still passing through after turning off their transponders. At one point, a claim that the U.S. Navy had escorted a tanker through the strait briefly moved markets before the White House denied it.This constant churn of speculation reveals a deeper problem: very few people actually know what is happening.In theory, the modern information environment should make us better informed. Instead, it often produces the opposite result. Analysts extrapolate sweeping conclusions from tiny fragments of data, while social media amplifies every rumor until it looks like evidence.The result is what I can only describe as “info slop.” Bits of partially verified information get passed along, combined, and reinterpreted until the original facts are almost impossible to distinguish from the speculation built around them.In a normal news cycle, that dynamic is frustrating. But in a war, it is dangerous.The Iran conflict carries enormous stakes. A prolonged fight could reshape the Middle East, disrupt global energy markets, or even trigger a wider geopolitical confrontation. Yet the public conversation about the war often resembles message-board debates rather than serious analysis.We are arguing over rumors about oil shipments and naval escorts while the broader strategic picture remains murky.Part of the problem is structural. During wartime, the actors with the most reliable information have strong incentives not to share it. Governments conceal details to protect military operations. Adversaries spread misinformation to manipulate perceptions.Even seemingly straightforward facts become difficult to confirm. Was a school struck by a missile because of a U.S. attack, an Iranian malfunction, or something else entirely? Did Iran mine shipping lanes, or were markets reacting to a rumor?In many cases, the honest answer is simply that we do not know.And yet the conversation continues as if every piece of incomplete information carries definitive meaning.Stepping Back From the NoiseFor me, the lesson is simple. If the discourse is making you feel more confident about events you barely understand, it may not actually be informing you. It may simply be feeding the human instinct to fill gaps in knowledge with speculation.The war with Iran could become one of the defining geopolitical events of this era. It could destabilize a region, reshape energy markets, or even trigger regime change inside Iran itself.But right now, much of what passes for analysis is just noise layered on top of uncertainty. The healthiest response might be the hardest one: consume less of it. Read less news that pretends to provide clarity where none exists.We don't know what's happening yet. And pretending otherwise doesn't make us smarter.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:02:18 - Thomas Massie00:06:24 - Iran Discourse00:16:59 - Kirk Bado on Iran00:32:36 - Update00:33:36 - Oil00:34:51 - SAVE America Act00:40:41 - AI Hiring00:42:49 - Kirk Bado on Iran, con't00:54:38 - Kirk Bado on Texas01:13:09 - Steelers Talk01:22:16 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

Scoping in the Age of AI (Part 2): Workflow Mastery, Coaching, and Avoiding AI "Scopist” Scams.In this episode, we continue the conversation as a Part 2 of Episode 77. Brynn discusses with Rachel Harris about hands-on coaching to streamline scoping and editing, including observing reporters via Zoom plus FaceTime to see exact mouse and keyboard actions, identifying repetitive pain points, and customizing macros, keyboard mappings, and EZ Speaker usage to reduce steps and save time.Rachel shares how she gamified learning shortcuts to avoid the mouse, explains why many reporters were never taught CaseCATalyst capabilities, and suggests a small set of high-impact shortcuts can be “life changing,” while fixes must be tailored to each workflow.Brynn describes pausing her VTM approach to build a more sustainable app focused on dashboards, bookkeeping, billing, deadlines, and transcript tracking.Rachel warns about marketplace confusion and Facebook “scams” involving non–court-reporting-trained “AI/digital” scopists, urging mastery and clear “steno scopist” labeling.

If you're building a new app or software product, your biggest risk usually isn't "bad code." It's building the wrong thing, shipping it with a shaky first impression, and then wondering why growth never shows up. In this episode of Building Better Developers, Angelo Zanetti breaks it down into a simple founder goal: prove your MVP—prove the problem is real, prove the solution is worth paying for, and prove you can deliver value without burning your runway.  About Angelo Zanetti Angelo Zanetti is the co-founder and CEO of Elemental, a South African-based software development agency helping startups and scaleups worldwide bring digital products to life. Since 2005, his team has specialized in building scalable, high-performance web apps and software platforms. Angelo blends deep technical knowledge with strategic thinking, helping founders launch bespoke products that are lean, user-focused, and built for long-term value. He's also served on several boards (including BISA and Entrepreneurs' Organisation Cape Town) and is a proud member of the global founder community OPUS. Prove your MVP by solving a real problem Angelo's first checkpoint is direct: product-market fit is about whether you're solving a real pain—or building for a problem that "doesn't really exist."  That's the trap founders fall into when the plan is "we'll launch, and the floodgates will open." In reality, traction comes from specificity: a specific user, a specific workflow, and a specific outcome that's better than the alternatives. If you can't describe your user's pain in one sentence, you're not ready to build features—you're ready to refine the problem. Keeping it simple To prove your MVP, you need a version you can ship and learn from. Angelo's advice: keep it MVP—keep it simple—make launch as easy as possible.  This is where founders accidentally turn "minimal" into "massive." They stack features, add edge cases, and delay learning. A better approach is to ship the smallest version that delivers one clear win. A practical filter: Does this feature directly help the user get the promised result? Will we learn something important by shipping it now? If we cut it, can the product still succeed? Prove your MVP with a clean, bug-free first impression One of Angelo's strongest warnings: don't treat users like beta testers. He's not a fan of launching "full of bugs" and fixing things live, because you only get one chance at a strong first impression.  That matters even more early on, when your users are deciding whether to trust you with their time, money, or data. Bugs don't just hurt quality—they kill momentum. A messy first experience can "blow your chances" to wow users.  Market before development This is the founder's lesson that never feels "technical," but decides everything: marketing starts before you build. Angelo calls out the pattern he's seen repeatedly—founders who plan customer acquisition do well, and those who assume "launch to the world" will magically work usually don't.  Marketing early doesn't mean ads on day one. It means clarity: Who is this for? Where do they hang out? What promise makes them lean in? What proof would make them try it? Prove your MVP safely in the AI era AI tools can help you move faster—but they can also help you move faster into danger. Angelo raises a big concern: "vibe-coded" apps can become a playground for hackers, where API keys get exposed, and security gaps get exploited—especially when a non-technical founder doesn't know what to look for.  He also frames planning with a great metaphor: building software is like building a house—you start with an architect. Scoping, specifications, and user journeys are often undervalued because they're not "tangible," but they're key to long-term success and scaling.  Speed is great. But speed without planning and security is how you "prove" the wrong thing—painfully. Closing thoughts If you want to prove your MVP, don't chase perfection—and don't chase feature bloat either. Solve a real problem, keep it minimal, launch with quality, and start marketing earlier than feels comfortable. That's how you get real traction, real feedback, and a real foundation to scale.

European leaders are meeting to work out how they can talk Donald Trump down from attempting to force the sale of Greenland. The US President's announced increasing tariffs starting next month, against six European countries, the UK and Norway, unless he gets a purchase deal. Observer Foreign Editor Andrew Rettman told Mike Hosking that Trump is known for flip-flopping on decisions, so leaders are working out if there's wiggle room. He says there's still hope this is just Trump's crazy way of negotiating. But Rettman says others are concerned a trade war could just be American soft power - with greater force to come.

We need to talk about the "intern" sitting on your desktop...Come on, you know the one. Sure, they are fast, very eager to please, and can process data at lightning speeds. But they also have a bad habit of hallucinating facts and making things up just to make you happy.Of course, I'm talking about AI.It is fair to say that we are past the initial "wow" phase of generative AI. Now, for us service design professionals, the real question is: How do we actually hire, train, and trust this new digital colleague?That is the focus of this episode of our Inside Service Design series.We sit down for a chat with two brilliant professionals: Jessica Dugan and Judith Buhmann.They share a grounded, hype-free look at how they are integrating AI into their own existing workflows. Not as a replacement for our work, but as a "Junior Associate" who needs some (sometimes a lot) management.To make this real, Jess walks us through the framework she uses for building her own custom AI agents. She explains how to define their "persona," scope their tasks, and curate their knowledge base so they can actually be useful (and safe).And Judith shares a critical perspective on why we can't fully trust AI yet. We explore why we need to treat AI as an "unreliable narrator" especially when working with vulnerable groups.So if you are feeling a bit somewhat by the pressure to "use AI" but aren't sure how to do it responsibly, this conversation has some key insights you don't want to miss.Here's a question: If you had to give your current AI tools a "performance" review, what rating would you give them? A) Employee of the month B) Promising intern (needs supervision) C) Chaos agent (fires random info at me). Let me know, I'm really curious where we are all at!Be well, ~ Marc--- [ 1.

Listen now on Apple, Spotify, and YouTube.—Ray is a designer-turned-researcher. He grew up in New Zealand but moved to the UK last year.His career started in graphic design and advertising, but he's also studied art history and worked as a brand strategist and innovation consultant before moving into UX. He was a product designer before officially pivoting to UX research.He is passionate about the craft of UX research, so is naturally drawn towards rigour and detail. But there's definitely a balance to be mindful of, so lately he's been enjoying the challenge of taking a more pragmatic approach to cut through the noise at work and maximise impact.In our conversation, we discuss:* How Raymond moved from design to research and why his messy, creative path helps him make peace with constraints.* Why “just enough” research is often the most realistic (and still valuable) kind.* Dealing with stakeholders who want statistical significance and to act on N=1 quotes.* What makes a one-pager actually work (hint: it's not cramming 14 bullet points into 10pt font).* How to reframe constraints as creative challenges, instead of just reasons to cry in a spreadsheet.Some takeaways:* Rigor isn't one thing. There's a difference between medical research and a usability test for a SaaS dashboard. Raymond reminds us to stop chasing perfection and start asking: What's the risk? What's the goal? What's actually good enough here?* You don't have to be the loudest voice in the room to be the expert. Sometimes the best way to build trust is not to say “trust me, I'm the expert,” but to bring the right method to the table and explain why it fits. Raymond shares how he uses method knowledge to guide teams—without pulling rank.* Constraints aren't the enemy, they're the brief. That tight deadline or limited budget? Treat it like a design prompt. What can you strip away? What creative method still works? That shift in mindset changes everything from energy to output.* Scoping is where the real power is. Raymond shares a sharp approach to collaborative scoping: show a strawman plan and let stakeholders rip it apart. It builds alignment faster and helps surface hidden assumptions, risks, and trade-offs without ego wars.* Your research summary isn't for you. Your one-pager should pass the 40-second CEO elevator ride test. Raymond breaks down his 3-column template and shares why the takeaways column matters more than your favorite quote or clever insight. It's about what they need to do next.Where to find Raymond:* ADPList mentor profile page* LinkedIn* Medium Stop piecing it together.

Hello! This is Episode 379, and it’s Part 3 of my conversation with HOME Method members, Fionna and Ed, as they share their new build journey in Canberra. I decided to continue sharing our conversation so we could have this as a four-part series on the podcast, and then you get to hear the whole scope of their project through Pre-Design, Design, Pre-Build and Build. I hope, as a result, it’s super helpful for you to follow along and hear where they invested their time, efforts and money, and how that’s influenced their project journey. [For all resources mentioned in this podcast and a free, downloadable PDF transcript, head to www.undercoverarchitect.com/379] If you haven’t listened to the previous parts of our conversation and want to hear the whole story from the start, head back to Episodes 377 and 378. You’ll find them at www.undercoverarchitect.com/377 and www.undercoverarchitect.com/378 In this episode, we move into the construction or Build phase of their project, and unpack what’s helped it run smoothly under a cost-plus contract. We discuss the power of fully scoping a project before construction begins, and how having detailed documentation, thorough selections, and early decision-making created real certainty in cost and confidence in delivery. Fionna and Ed also talk about the collaborative relationships they've built… with their architect staying involved through construction and assisting with key details like shop drawings, and with trades and subcontractors actively contributing ideas and expertise to improve outcomes on site. You’ll also hear how their builder’s appetite for recycling materials, and finding avenues to repurpose demolition waste, brought an additional layer to the sustainability to the project. And we explore how their cost-plus contract includes thoughtful mechanisms to encourage time efficiency and accountability, which, combined with a transparent quoting process, has helped keep things on track. At its core, this is a story about what happens when you have the right team (professional, passionate, and committed) all working together with an informed and educated client, to bring a shared vision to life.

Mike Palmer is joined on this episode of Trending in Ed by Rich Braden and Tessa Forshaw, co-authors of the new book, Innovation-ish: How Anyone Can Create Breakthrough Solutions to Real Problems in the Real World. They talk about the core concepts of their book, including the "creativity gap," "innovation mythology," and "cognitive caution". We discuss how these ideas apply not only in business but also in education, and why creativity is not a magical quality but a skill that can be taught and cultivated. We also explore the role of AI in the creative process and how it can be used to augment human abilities. Key Takeaways: Creativity is for everyone. The authors challenge the myth that creativity is an innate quality held only by a few "media darlings" like Steve Jobs or Elon Musk. This "creativity gap" is a result of wrong mental models that can be changed. Embrace ambiguity. Innovation involves a natural aversion to ambiguity, which the authors call "cognitive caution". Acknowledging this and understanding that it is a necessary part of creating novel ideas can help us change our relationship with it. Focus on the individual. Braden and Forshaw's approach to teaching creativity centers on the learner's mind and how it works, rather than a rigid, external process. This includes using "mindsets" to intentionally change what you pay attention to, "moves" or small, actionable tasks that are less intimidating, and "metacognition" to determine what is needed. It's not "innovation," it's "innovation-ish." The word "innovation" can cause "hesitation" and a "physical reaction" in people. By setting the bar lower and asking people to be "a little bit innovation-ish," the authors make the concept more approachable and less intimidating. AI is a tool, not a replacement for human creativity. The authors discuss a study where students who used ChatGPT in a design class produced "mid" work that lacked originality and was capped in its potential. AI can be useful for things like varying text in brainstorming, but it cannot replicate the unique connections and perspectives that make human creativity so powerful. Don't miss this chance to learn how to innovate from two experts in the field who love education and provide sharp takes on how this applies to the future of learning.

Interviewees: Kirsten Brown, PhD Assistant Professor of Health Professions Education at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences; as a short disclaimer, Kirsten's views do not represent the official policy or position of her employer.  Dionna Bidny, MD, MMUS  a first-year resident in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, currently completing her Transitional Year; and Abby Konoposky, PhD Senior Director of Medical Education Research in the Department of Psychiatry at Northwell Health. Interviewer:  Lisa Meeks, PhD, MA, Guest Editor, Academic Medicine Supplement on Disability Inclusion in UME. Description: This episode of Stories Behind the Science brings you an intimate conversation with Dr. Kirsten Brown (Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences), Dr. Dionna Bidny (University of Pittsburgh Medical Center), and Dr. Abby Konopasky (Northwell Health), co-authors of Disability in Undergraduate Medical Education in the United States: A Scoping Review, part of the Academic Medicine supplement on Disability Inclusion in Undergraduate Medical Education. Drawing from over 80 publications, their study traces how disability in medical education has too often been framed through deficit and legal models, while leaving intersectionality and the voices of disabled learners largely absent. Together, we explore why this framing matters, what the literature reveals about gaps and progress, and how a critical perspective can re-shape the field. Our guests share the personal and professional motivations behind this ambitious review, the surprises and challenges they encountered, and their hopes for how this work can serve as both roadmap and catalyst. Whether you are a researcher, faculty member, disability resource professional, or student, this episode offers insights into the state of the field and inspiration for charting new directions. Resources and links to the open-access article, Disability Resource Hub, and related tools are in the show notes.

In the ED, your words can be as powerful as your meds. In this episode, PGY-3 Dr Kotel unpacks the science of placebo and nocebo, showing how communication shapes patient outcomes—and how small shifts in framing, empathy, and reassurance can turn talk into treatment.

Dr. Pouya Azar stops by the show to talk about his recent article Transition to Extended-release Buprenorphine Injectable Within Seven Days for Opioid Use Disorder Treatment: A Scoping Narrative. He discusses the potential benefits of transitioning patients with opioid use disorder from traditional to extended-release or long-acting buprenorphine within 7 days or 24 hours, respectively, of treatment, as well as challenges and future questions that arose from his narrative review.

Telescopes are like light buckets. The bigger the telescope, the more light collected for astronomers to observe. With recent advances in technology, amateur astronomers can join professionals for a chance to observe stellar nurseries and exoplanets many light-years away. But as our capabilities increase, so do the mysteries, including those around high-energy bursts coming from an otherwise unremarkable part of the universe. Understanding fast radio bursts could turn physics on its head. From the Vera Rubin Telescope in Chile to the backyard instruments of amateur astronomers, we share what new things we might learn about stars, the Earth, exoplanets, and the potential for life on other worlds. Guests: Clare Higgs – Astronomer working with the public outreach team for the Vera Rubin Observatory Franck Marchis – Senior astronomer and director of citizen science at the SETI Institute, chief science officer and co-founder of Unistellar Amanda Cook – Postdoctoral fellow at McGill University and member of the CHIME/FRB Collaboration Featuring music by Dewey Dellay and Jun Miyake You can get early access to ad-free versions of every episode by joining us on Patreon.
