In this conversation, I discuss various cybersecurity incidents and trends affecting organizations, including CrowdStrike's stock performance, foreign influence in U.S. elections, cybersecurity failures at Sellafield, and the impact of cyber incidents on critical infrastructure. The conversation also covers recent breaches at ADT and American Waterworks, challenges in healthcare cybersecurity, and T-Mobile's compliance issues. Throughout, I emphasizes the importance of robust cybersecurity measures and the ongoing threats faced by organizations. Takeaways CrowdStrike's stock has seen a resurgence after a breach. Foreign actors are actively trying to influence U.S. elections. Sellafield's cybersecurity failures have resulted in significant fines. Cybersecurity incidents in critical infrastructure lead to financial losses. Chinese hackers have targeted U.S. telecom companies for intelligence. ADT has experienced multiple breaches in a short time frame. American Waterworks reported unauthorized activity in its systems. Healthcare organizations are struggling with cybersecurity preparedness. MoneyGram faced a cybersecurity issue affecting customer data. T-Mobile is under pressure to improve its cybersecurity measures.
Today incredible images were beamed around the world of civilians walking in space – for the very first time. All eyes were on businessman Jared Isaacman and engineer Sarah Gillis as they ventured outside a Space X capsule. But is this an historic space exploration milestone - or just a very exciting holiday for a billionaire? We'll find out more from the BBC's own expert space-watcher Jonathan Amos. Also this week, we visit Sellafield which processes and stores more radioactive material per square metre than any other site in Europe. But it is getting full. So where is our nuclear waste going to go in future? As the UK searches for a new potential site, we look at the science of what we do with nuclear waste and why. We'll also delve into the fascinating world of nuclear semiotics. How can we communicate the dangers of nuclear waste to people living 100,000 years from now?

It's a scandal that went uncovered for 30 years. Body parts and organs from former workers in the nuclear industry were systematically removed for research. But the families of those former workers were never told. The truth only came to light following a three year inquiry published in 2010. But was this practice contained to one industry, or was this happening on behalf of others too? News reports around the time of the Sellafield scandal claimed that organs of coal miners were also being routinely removed during post-mortems at the request of the then National Coal Board. So, was the coal industry involved in a similar scandal - and to what extent? And could the need to advance research and science ever be seen to outweigh the need for permission?Reporter and producer: Emma Forde Technical Producer: Richard Hannaford Journalism Assistant: Tim Fernley Editor: Clare Fordham
Host Joe DeMare talks about "sacrifice zones," places where radiation or chemical contamination is so high they've been abandoned, and how the whole Earth is threatened by them. Next he reviews Nature magazine's Top Ten scientists of 2023 and the ecological importance of their discoveries. Rebecca Wood tells us all about chocolate and maples syrup. Ecological News includes a study that shows the Sellafield nuclear sacrifice zone in the UK could wipe out Norway.
Every Monday and Friday for the rest of December we will publish some of our favourite audio long reads of 2023, in case you missed them, with an introduction from the editorial team to explain why we've chosen it. From January: Nothing is produced at Sellafield any more. But making safe what is left behind is an almost unimaginably expensive and complex task that requires us to think not on a human timescale, but a planetary one.

In this week's episode, Nick chats with Anush Newman, Managing Director at JMAN Group, the global data consultancy specialising in the private equity market. Anush's story makes for a fascinating listen. He cut his consulting teeth in the oil and gas industry, working in roles that took him all over the world, to locales as exotic as Kazakhstan, Sellafield and Northern Scotland! After tiring of all the travel, Anush embarked on a successful contracting career which eventually led (by way of a broken spreadsheet!) to the creation of JMAN, the global data consultancy Anush founded with his cousin Leo. Fast forward to today, and JMAN now a team of over 200 consultants working across London and Chenai with plans for further global expansion. Earlier this year, they were recognised as one of the Times ‘Top 100 Fastest Growing Companies' with an annual growth rate of over 80%. But Anush and JMAN's journey hasn't been without its hiccups, and in this episode Anush shares openly the challenges they faced and how they managed to turn them around to go from almost going under to becoming one of the UK's fastest growing firms. If that wasn't enough, there's a whole host of other fascinating topics that Nick and Anush discuss in this one, including… - Anush's decision to move from the stress-free world of contracting to running his own firm - How breaking a client's Excel spreadsheet led to the lightbulb moment behind JMAN - The single-minded approach that led to JMAN breaking into the private equity market - Creating a ‘one-team' culture in an organisation that spans the globe If you want to learn the secrets of someone who's gone from contractor to successful consulting leader, then this episode is a must listen. We hope you enjoy the show!

Leading and managing people, projects, or teams, requires more than a high degree of technical knowledge. Experience and education provide the foundation for success in an engineering manager's role, but it also requires a great deal of foresight and strategic thinking and just like any skill, becoming an effective manager and leader takes time and effort. With businesses emerging from COVID-19 to a new and rapidly changing professional landscape, it is more critical than ever that companies take a proactive approach in developing and supporting engineering leaders of the future. Remote and hybrid working practices are now routine for many businesses and employees, and organisations can no longer rely on young engineers picking up communication and teamwork skills ‘by osmosis' in the office environment. The IMechE's Essential Management Skills conference has been running for over 20 years and offers three days of workshops, networking, and site visits to equip early-career professionals with the knowledge they need to make the step up in their careers. Helen had the opportunity to attend this year's conference in April, to find out more about the value of leadership training, some 20-odd years since she last went to it. Before she arrived Helen spoke with Dr Vasileios Samaras, a senior lecturer in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Swansea, and a fellow of the IMechE. Vasileios teaches the principles and application of leadership and management to undergraduates and having spent many years in industry before returning to academia, is keen to ensure young engineers are well prepared for the challenges that leadership brings. Stephen Brown is the chair of the EMS organising committee and got involved having previously attended the conference as a delegate. He found the conference to be extremely insightful and feels that all early careers and recent graduates should take the opportunity to attend. Emma Wilson is one of the delegates attending the conference from Howden based in Scotland. Helen asked Emma why having the opportunity to learn about leadership early in her career, was so important, and what she hoped to take away with her from the experience. Maira Bana is Co-Chair of the IMechE's Construction and Building Services Division and an ambassador for She Can Engineer. She also attended EMS back in 2018. Poppy Harrison is a young engineer; D&I officer for the Greater London region and one of the organising committee members for the EMS 2023/24 conference. Helen spoke to both of them about the conference itself, why it is important from a D&I perspective and how leadership in industry has changed over the last 10 years. Paul Taylor has been providing training in the IMechE for many years and feels leadership and management skills are a fundamental part of what it means to be an engineer. Helen asked Paul to share his thoughts from a trainer's point of view. Jack is a young engineer working at Sellafield and is looking to move into his first leadership role. Helen asked him why his company felt leadership and management skills were valuable to them. Robin Safas is Programme Development Lead for the IMechE. It's his job to ensure events such as the EMS run smoothly by supporting the organising committees in developing and planning their events. Robin sees this conference as an investment in the careers of future engineers and a way for companies to empower their workforce. Robyn Stark, is also a an engineer from Howden. As a recent graduate she felt that she was a long way from being a leader in her career, but she recognised that the skills she was learning would be very useful for building relationships with her colleagues in the future. David Edmondson, is one of the guest speakers at the conference who has had a varied career in both the military and industry and feel passionate about leadership training and how engineers can learn from best practice in the armed forces.

Der erste große Reaktorunfall ereignete sich nicht in Harrisburg, Tschernobyl oder Fukushima – sondern im britischen Windscale, heute bekannt als Sellafield. Die britische Regierung versuchte den massiven Störfall zu vertuschen.
Der erste große Reaktorunfall ereignete sich nicht in Harrisburg, Tschernobyl oder Fukushima - sondern im britischen Windscale, heute bekannt als Sellafield. Doch die britische Regierung versuchte den massiven Störfall zu vertuschen und zu verharmlosen, so dass die Beinah-Katastrophe bis in die 1990er Jahre praktisch unbekannt blieb...

220609PCZeitenwende 3 brauchen wir Atombomben? .... Mensch Mahler am 09.06.2022Ich traute meinen Ohren nicht. Wegen diesem kranken Hirn Putin wird in Deutschland ernsthaft diskutiert, ob wir uns atomar bewaffnen müssen. Das heißt in der Konsequenz kein Abzug der US-Atomsprengköpfe aus Büchel in Rheinland-Pfalz, 52% der Bevölkerung sind für den Verbleib, auch wenn sie Angst vor einem russischen Angriff auf Büchel haben. Oder die Ausweitung des Atomschirms in Europa von Frankreich zur Bundesrepublik. Und damit in der Konsequenz die Atombewaffnung der Bundeswehr.Nachdem in Europa ernsthaft diskutiert wird, Atomkraftwerke zur grünen Energie zu erklären, jetzt das. Jahrzehnte nach Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Sellafield, Tschernobyl und Fukushima soll die Spaltung von Atomkernen wieder salonfähig gemacht werden. Nur weil Putin die Bombe hat, Nordkorea übrigens auch, fahren wir den Atomwaffenbestand, bei dem der Westen den Schurkenstaaten haushoch überlegen ist, wieder hoch?Das darf nicht wahr sein. Allein die Diskussion darüber ist in höchstem Maße unanständig und menschenverachtend. Liebe deutsche Politiker, allen voran Grüne, ich habe Euch gewählt, weil ihr für Abrüstung gestanden seid. Jetzt bleibt wohl nur noch die Linke als Anti-Kriegspartei. Aber die zerlegt sich ja gerade selbst. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
This week on Energy Unplugged, we discuss about how to decarbonize transport with Trudy Harrison MP, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State at the UK Department for Transport, in an episode hosted by our Research Director, Richard Howard.
