National security concerns have been the invisible hand guiding governance throughout recorded history. In the 20th century, it was defined by a country versus country dynamic: whichever nation was the strongest and most strategic was also the safest. But today, our biggest national security threats don't come from opposing nations – they are “actorless threats” that emerge from the breakdown of the complex systems we all depend on – from the stability of our planetary systems to our intricately complex and fragile global supply chains. In this unprecedented landscape, what is required of us in order to keep our citizens safe?  In this episode, Nate is joined by Rod Schoonover, an expert at the intersection of Earth systems stress and national security, where they discuss the need for the evolution of national defense to address the systemic (and diffuse) threats of the 21st century. Rod emphasizes the need for a reformed security sector that addresses contemporary challenges, like global heating that leads to extreme climatic events, urging immediate action to mitigate risks and enhance stability. Importantly, they also delve into the need for political leadership to embrace complexity and local resilience when tackling these pressing issues. How do we unite against ‘actorless' threats, even when we don't have someone to blame for their damages? Where have leadership and governance already begun to adapt to address these existential concerns, and where are we seeing failures? Finally, how could incorporating more cooperative principles at every level of society transform our ability to bend – not break – under the weight of our human predicament?  (Conversation recorded on May 6th, 2025)   About Rod Schoonover: Rod Schoonover is the CEO and Founder of the Ecological Futures Group, Adjunct Professor at Georgetown University, Senior Associate Fellow at the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), and Senior Associate at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.  Rod served a decade in the U.S. intelligence community as the Director of Environment and Natural Resources at the National Intelligence Council in the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and as Senior Scientist and Senior Analyst in the State Department's Bureau of Intelligence and Research. Before joining the government as a AAAS Diplomacy Fellow in 2009, Rod was a tenured Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. Dr. Schoonover earned his PhD in theoretical chemical physics at the University of Michigan, where he studied complex systems.   Show Notes and More Watch this video episode on YouTube   Want to learn the broad overview of The Great Simplification in 30 minutes?

IFPRI Policy Seminar Fertilizer, soil health, and economic shocks: Policy lessons learned from recent events Organized by IFPRI, Food Policy, and the CGIAR Science Program on Policy Innovations June 11, 2025 Join us for a discussion of key findings from a recent special issue of Food Policy exploring the complex interactions between fertilizer use, soil health management, and economic shocks in various agricultural systems. Governments around the world have long implemented policies to enhance agricultural productivity through inorganic fertilizer application and soil management, yet recent global disruptions, from the 2020–2022 food, fuel, and fertilizer price crisis to ongoing climatic uncertainties, have challenged the effectiveness of these interventions. Authors and editors of the special issue will present evidence on the medium-term effects of rising fertilizer prices and their implications for global demand, highlighting the disproportionate effects on smallholder farmers in low- and middle-income countries. The discussion will also cover issues related to the role of targeted subsidy programs, integrated soil fertility management, and site-specific nutrient approaches. A panel of fertilizer experts will discuss how these insights can support policymakers seeking to mitigate price volatility, strengthen soil health, and ensure resilience in agricultural production, particularly during adverse weather events and economic shocks. This seminar offers critical perspectives for researchers, policymakers, and agribusiness leaders working to build more sustainable and equitable food systems in an increasingly uncertain world.

In this podcast, we spoke with Isha Dey, Senior Scientist, Cell Biology R&D, at Thermo Fisher Scientific about the challenges researchers face in selecting appropriate cell culture conditions due to variability in cell lines, lack of standardized protocols, and inconsistent reagent quality. Thermo Fisher Scientific's new Cell Culture Select Tool was developed to address these challenges by providing specific recommendations for media, FBS, and cultureware for over 150 cell lines, backed by extensive R&D data. Understanding the Challenges in Cell Culture Selection Thermo Fisher Scientific's new Cell Culture Select Tool addresses a persistent challenge in laboratory science: identifying the appropriate cell culture conditions and selecting the right media, supplements, and reagents for different cell lines. The process is complicated by factors like cell line variability, lack of standardized protocols, and inconsistent reagent quality. These issues can introduce variability and impact experimental results, posing a challenge for scientists across labs. “Different cell lines have unique requirements,” explained Isha. “It's challenging to pinpoint optimal culture conditions due to variability in cell line responses. Additionally, there isn't always a standardized protocol across labs or comprehensive information on specific culturing needs. This can make it difficult to select the most appropriate media, supplements, and other materials.” Ensuring a consistent supply of high-quality products is essential for reproducibility in experiments. Thermo Fisher Scientific's trusted brands, such as Gibco, Nunc, and Invitrogen, are known for their quality, which is critical for minimizing variability in experimental readouts. The Inspiration Behind the Cell Culture Select Tool The idea for the Cell Culture Select Tool originated from an update to Thermo Fisher Scientific's online technical reference library. Previously, the website listed recommended media types segmented by cell line culture methods—adherent, semi-adherent, or suspension. While helpful, this list was lengthy and lacked interactive functionality. Isha said, “We realized that we could streamline this information into a user-friendly tool”. “In our R&D labs, we culture over 150 cell lines using various media, supplements, and equipment. By making this data accessible to other researchers through an interactive tool, we hoped to eliminate the guesswork and enable reproducible cell culture success.” The tool now provides recommendations for specific media, supplements, and cultureware for culturing, passaging, and freezing over 150 cell lines. With in-house data supporting 75% of these lines, researchers gain access to the resources and insights gathered from Thermo Fisher's extensive R&D experience. Selecting Cell Lines for the Tool The team started with cell lines listed in their technical reference webpage and expanded the list based on the lines frequently cultured in their R&D labs. These labs conduct heavy cell culture work for various applications, including media development, fluorescence imaging, Western blotting, flow cytometry, transfection, transduction studies, and more. “We wanted to make our R&D data available to researchers for convenience,” shared Isha. “This effort involved many scientists across R&D sites who contributed data and images showing how each cell line appears in recommended media.” Quality and Verification in Thermo Fisher's Labs The tool's data is backed by rigorous testing in Thermo Fisher's R&D labs. Cells are grown in their respective media, culture plastics, and consumables over multiple passages to ensure accuracy. For cancer cell lines, STR profiling and mycoplasma testing are conducted regularly, while stem cell cultures are assessed for pluripotency and purity using imaging and flow cytometry. “Representative images of cell lines, captured using our EVOS imaging system,

Because of invasive species and climate change, many of the native birds of Hawai‘i are endangered or have gone extinct. Sam ‘Ohu Gon, Senior Scientist and Cultural Advisor for the Nature Conservancy of Hawai'i, says the bright red bird called the ‘i‘iwi holds a special place in native Hawaiian culture. The bird's feathers appear as the red color in traditional Hawaiian featherwork.

Students who meet the criteria for developmental language disorder (DLD) are often categorized as “speech only” in the school systems. In many cases, these students qualify for special education services under the eligibility category of “speech and language impaired”, which puts speech-language pathologists who serve as case managers in a difficult position ethically. Sometimes students may qualify for services under other eligibility categories, but there's still a lack of awareness about the diagnosis; especially relating to how we serve students in schools. The impact on literacy and overall academic performance can be substantial; not to mention life outcomes outside of school. Unlike other diagnoses that have other pathways to diagnosis in the early years, signs of DLD are often not identified until students start school. Therefore, DLD is an essential part of conversations surrounding literacy (even though it can impact way more than just reading). That's why I invited Dr. Karla McGregor to episode 181 of De Facto Leaders to talk about DLD as part of the National Literacy Month RIF series. Dr. Karla K. McGregor, Ph.D., CCC-SLP is a Senior Scientist at Boys Town National Research Hospital in Omaha, NE, USA, where she also serves as the Senior Director of the Center for Childhood Deafness, Language and Learning. She is a Professor Emerita at the University of Iowa and a founding member and Chair of DLDandMe.org. Dr. McGregor's scholarly work on developmental language disorder is funded by the National Institutes of Health and she has also benefited from the support of the National Science Foundation and the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. She is the former Editor for the Journal of Speech-Language-Hearing Research. Her awards include Honors of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association and the Kawana Award for Lifetime Achievement in Publishing. She has been fortunate to mentor 12 doctoral students, six post-doctoral scholars, and numerous early-career scientists.This episode is part of the National Literacy Month series of podcasts, presented in partnership between the Be Podcast Network and Reading Is Fundamental (RIF).In this episode, we discuss:✅Developmental language disorder: Characteristics and overlaps with conditions like ADHD, autism, dyslexia, and auditory processing disorder.✅School teams are “permitted” to use the term “DLD” in the schools.

In August this year, a US court in Washington DC ruled that Google acted illegally to crush its competition and maintain a monopoly on online search and related advertising. This is just one of a number of lawsuits that have been filed against the big tech companies, as US antitrust authorities attempt to strengthen competition in the industry. Now Google is facing another legal case in Virginia, USA, over its advertising technology. Whilst in Europe it has been fined billions in monopoly cases. Google themselves dispute they are a ‘monopolist' and presented evidence in the US court case in August to show that they face ‘fierce competition from a broad range of competitors'. The court did find Google's search to be ‘superior' to its competitors. And Google's executives say consumers stick with them because they find Google ‘helpful'. Google is everywhere in our online lives and it handles billions of search queries every day, so on this week's Inquiry, we're asking ‘Can we trust Google?'Contributors: David Vise, Pulitzer Prize winning Journalist and Author of ‘The Google Story', New York, USA Professor Douglas Melamed, Visiting Fellow, Stanford Law School, Washington, DC.
