The endocrine workforce shortage is affecting the lives of endocrinologists and the patients they treat. Many practices would benefit from any support that would give endocrinologists more capacity to focus where they really need to. Could advance practice providers, such as nurse practitioners and physicians assistants, be able to provide that support if they had a little more training? The Endocrine Society and the American Association of Nurse Practitioners? (AANP) think so. Together they have developed a new program called Clinical Advantage: Endocrinology Certificate for Advanced Practice Providers. What does the certificate represent, how does the program work? To help answer those questions and more host Aaron Lohr talks with two guests who helped develop the program: Sara R. MacLeod, DO, MPH, Assistant Professor of Medicine at University of Rochester; and Shannon K. Idzik, DNP, CRNP, ANP-BC, FAANP, FAAN, Professor and Associate Dean for the Doctor of Nursing Practice Program at University of Maryland School of Nursing. Listen to learn how Clinical Advantage is working to address the shortage. Show notes are available at https://www.endocrine.org/podcast

AI Engineering is going global!One year ago today, Anthropic launched Claude Code, to not much fanfare:The word of mouth was incredibly strong however, and so we were glad to be one of the first podcasts to invite Boris and Cat on in early May:As we discussed on the pod, all CC usage was API-based and therefore it was ridiculously expensive to do anything. This was then fixed by the team including Claude Code in the Claude Pro plan in early June, and then the virality caused us to make a rare trend call in late June:Now, 6 months on, Doug has just calculated that around 4% of GitHub is written by Claude Code:We talk about how Doug uses Claude Code to do SemiAnalysis work.Memory ManiaIn the second part of this episode, we also check in on Memory Mania, which is going to affect you (yes, you) at home if it hasn't already:Full Episode on YouTubeTimestamps00:00 AI as Junior Analyst00:59 Meet Swyx and Doug03:30 From Value Mule to Semis06:28 Moore's Law Ends Thesis12:02 Claude Code Awakening32:02 Agent Swarms Reality Check32:53 Kimi Swarm Benchmarks37:31 Bots vs Zapier Automation39:44 Claude Code Workflow Setup57:54 AGI Metrics and GDP01:04:48 Railroad CapEx Analogy01:06:00 Funding Bubbles and Demand01:08:11 Agents Replace Work Tools01:13:56 Codex vs Claude Race01:21:15 Microsoft and TPU Strategy01:34:13 TPU Window vs Nvidia01:36:30 HBM Supply Chain Squeeze01:39:41 Memory Shock and CXL01:45:20 Context Rationing Future01:54:37 Writing and Trail LessonsTranscript[00:00:00] AI as Junior Analyst[00:00:00] Doug: This crap makes mistakes all the time.

The analyst goes and does all this like really pain in the ass information and you bring it all together to make a good decision at the top. Historically what happens is that junior analyst, who I once was, went and gathered all that information, and after doing this enough times, there's a meta level thinking that's happening where it's like, okay, here's what I really understand and how this type of analysis, I'm an expert in, actually I'm very good at, I consistently have a hit rate.[00:00:28] Now I'm the expert, right? I don't think that meta level learning is there yet. We'll see if l ones do it, right?

Prime Minister Mark Carney has said Canada needs to “build at speeds not seen in generations.” More than ten major projects have now been referred to the Major Projects Office (MPO). Assuming that all of the projects move forward in the next few years, will Canada have enough skilled workers to deliver them? To explore this question, our guest this week is Sean Strickland, Executive Director of Canada's Building Trades Unions. Canada's Building Trades Unions is the voice of the country's construction workers, representing more than 600,000 skilled tradespeople across Canada. Here are some of the questions Jackie and Peter asked Sean: What is the current situation- do we have a shortage or an excess of trade workers? How might that change if all the projects being advanced by the Major Projects Office (MPO) move into construction over the next few years? How mobile is the labour force, and are there policy changes that could improve labour mobility? Are temporary foreign workers still available if Canadian labour becomes stretched thin? What are the demographics of the current workforce? What is it like to work on industrial projects in remote regions, including both the sacrifices and the rewards? How can workforce planning be done when the number of projects that will ultimately proceed remains highly uncertain?Please review our disclaimer at: https://www.arcenergyinstitute.com/disclaimer/ Check us out on social media: X (Twitter): @arcenergyinstLinkedIn: @ARC Energy Research Institute Subscribe to ARC Energy Ideas PodcastApple PodcastsAmazon MusicSpotify

Today I'm joined by Dr. Will Dobud, a social worker, researcher, and educator who has worked with adolescents and families across the United States, Australia, and Norway. Will is the co-author of Kids These Days: Understanding and Supporting Youth Mental Health, and he brings a refreshingly optimistic yet realistic perspective to the challenges facing today's young people.We dig into some truly provocative territory in this conversation. Will challenges the prevailing narrative that phones and social media are the root of the youth mental health crisis, drawing on historical moral panics — from kaleidoscopes to pinball machines — to argue that blanket bans rarely work. Instead, he advocates for digital integration through boundaries and parental involvement.We explore why more diagnoses, more medication, and more therapy haven't improved outcomes, and how the explosion of mental health labeling — especially around neurodivergence — may actually be doing more harm than good. Will shares his concerns about "label mania," the misuse of accommodations, and how identity politics have hijacked what was originally a movement toward inclusion. We also talk about the shortage of real-world experience for kids, the importance of rough-and-tumble play, and what parents can do to build connection instead of defaulting to control. This episode asks the hard questions: Are we crushing the spirit of youth with our own adult anxiety? And what would happen if we just gave kids something worth participating in?Dr. Will Dobud is a social worker, researcher, and educator who has worked with adolescents and families in the United States, Australia, and Norway. Will is from Washington, D.C., and divides his time between the United States and Australia each year. He is the author and editor of three books, including Kids These Days: Understanding and Supporting Youth Mental Health. Will is an award-winning researcher and educator who has received recognition for excellence in research, teaching, and crime prevention. Dr. Dobud is a Senior Lecturer in Social Work at Charles Sturt University, Australia's largest social work school. Will is an invited international speaker who conducts workshops for therapists and families worldwide. Will's research focuses on improving therapy outcomes for teenagers and promoting safe, ethical practices. He has investigated and written about America's Troubled Teen Industry, especially wilderness therapy. He has worked alongside advocates, survivors, researchers, and clinicians to protect youth from institutionalization and harm.WillDobud.comwww.kidsthesedaysbook.comFacebook: @WillDobudPhDX: @WillDobudInstagram: @WillDobud @Kids_These_Days_BookLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/will-dobud-5209ab74/Substack: https://substack.com/@willdobudBooks mentioned in this episode:Kids These Days: Understanding and Supporting Youth Mental Health by Will Dobud and Nevin HarperThe Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidti-Minds by Mari SwingleThe Spirit of Youth and the City Streets (1909) by Jane Addams[00:00:00] Start[00:02:46] Why Adults Get Trapped Trying to Fix Kids[00:06:06] What's Actually Going Right With Youth Today[00:10:17] Environmental Toxins and the Hard Questions[00:11:48] Digital Interference vs. Digital Integration[00:17:54] Can Kids Self-Regulate With Screens?[00:25:57] Phone-Free Schools: Solution or Distraction?[00:34:43] The Anxious Generation's Four Norms Problem[00:37:10] Putting Yourself in a Kid's Shoes[00:40:11] Experiential Learning and the Crowded Curriculum[00:48:07] Autism, Neurodivergence, and Label Mania[00:56:35] Identity Politics and Secondary Gain[01:04:04] Living Well With ADHD Without Hiding Behind It[01:12:11] Accommodations as Institutional Traps[01:16:22] Breaking Free From Therapeutic Dogma[01:18:46] Normies, Psychos, and Schizos[01:21:25] Institutional Exploitation in Mental Health[01:28:12] The Shortage of Experience and Risky Play[01:32:33] DC Punk Rock as Youth Participation Model[01:37:45] What Don't You Want to Change About Your Child?ROGD REPAIR Course + Community gives concerned parents instant access to over 120 lessons providing the psychological insights and communication tools you need to get through to your kid.

Steam Decks are now out of stock and Valve doesn't know when they'll be able to manufacture more. This is most likely because of the RAM shortage because AI companies have already ordered more RAM than factories can produce right now. Because of this, the Steam Machine and Steam Frame are also delayed and will not launch in the first quarter of 2026 like originally announced.

Education access, financial barriers, and limited career awareness continue to slow the pipeline of new dental assistants entering the workforce. At the same time, patient demand keeps growing, putting more pressure on clinical teams. Organizations like PDS Health are actively working to close this gap through scholarships, mentorship, externship opportunities, and structured career development programs designed specifically for dental assistants. The conversation also explores how Dental Support Organizations create pathways for advancement beyond chairside roles, opening doors in leadership, recruiting, marketing, and clinical specialization. Real experiences and professional insight highlight the skills that matter most today including resilience, communication, and long term career vision, offering a grounded look at both the challenges and the solutions shaping the future of dental assisting.

America is electrifying at a pace we've never seen before – driven by AI data centers, smart grids, and modern infrastructure. But all of it depends on one critical workforce: electricians. The problem? The U.S. faces roughly 80,000 electrical job openings every year – and the gap is growing. In this Optimistic Outlook In Five, Lauren Espin breaks down why the electrician shortage has become a national challenge, and how a new coalition of industry, education, government, and nonprofit partners is coming together through the Siemens Foundation's Careers Electric initiative to help close the gap. You'll hear how this first-of-its-kind effort is creating clear, accessible pathways into high-paying electrical careers that don't require a four-year degree—and why the model launching in North Carolina could become a blueprint for other states. Show notes: Press Release - https://news.siemens.com/en-us/siemens-foundation-launches-careers-electric-national-workforce-initiative/ Episode Transcript - https://assets.ctfassets.net/17si5cpawjzf/6aLp0p8BfOHcP07o9Ea75I/ef9b42a06c9ec4598cf5ecd315efaea2/021926-optimistic-outlook-podcast-transcript.pdf

Housing affordability is collapsing for America’s middle class—and small businesses are feeling the impact. On this episode of Main Street Matters, Elaine Parker sits down with real estate developer Michael Burkentine to break down the growing U.S. housing crisis and what it means for working families, entrepreneurs, and first-time homebuyers. With the U.S. facing an estimated 5 million home shortage, Burkentine explains how rising costs, restrictive zoning laws, labor shortages, and institutional homebuyers have turned America into a “renter nation.” They also dive into the proposed “Trump Homes” initiative—a bold plan to build up to 1 million entry-level homes through private-sector partnerships, deregulation, and innovative rent-to-own pathways designed to help Americans achieve homeownership again. In this episode: Why the U.S. is millions of homes short—and how we got here How housing impacts small businesses and Main Street growth The real reason starter homes disappeared The role of Wall Street investors in driving up home prices How zoning reform and deregulation could unlock supply The feasibility of building 1 million new homes Why trade jobs and workforce training are critical to solving the crisis As policymakers debate solutions ahead of key elections, this conversation highlights what must change to restore the American Dream of homeownership.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In the first part of this episode of the Curious Realm, host Christopher Jordan welcomes cryptozoologist and author Ryan Edwards to discuss the science behind cryptozoology. From kingdoms and phylums, to hypothesis and theory, we know how the science of biology works, but what about cryptozoology?

In the second part of the episode, we welcome Scott Ertz, host of Plughitz Live Radio, and F5 Refreshing Technology to talk about the recent announcement of RAM memory manufacturers sacrificing their consumer production lines to focus entirely on the AI market! Will this supply line shift cause a massive rift in the market and will consumer PC sales and the technologies stemming from them be hurt in the near future due to this aciton?

Irish critical infrastructure specialist, Turnua, has announced a new partnership with Future Academy to launch the Turnua Future Academy, a digital skills and innovation hub focused on developing AI and digital skills for enterprises and students alike. Based at Turnua's Critical Infrastructure Hub in Naas, County Kildare, the partnership is designed to give students and professionals practical experience in digital, AI, and innovation skills within a real-world infrastructure environment. The Turnua Future Academy is Turnua's innovation and capability hub, connecting students, small businesses, and large enterprises with future skills through real-world building rather than classroom learning. Delivered within Turnua's purpose-built Critical Infrastructure Hub, the project will support a range of programmes focused on practical learning and real-world application. These include hands-on innovation camps for Transition Year students as well as digital and AI workshops and readiness diagnostics for enterprises. This blended approach is designed to strengthen links between education, industry, and community, while ensuring learning remains grounded in current and emerging technology needs. For SMEs and enterprise teams, the Turnua Future Academy will deliver practical AI and digital build workshops designed to help organisations adopt modern technologies with confidence. These sessions focus on developing real outputs, such as digital tools, automations, and AI-powered solutions, created during guided, hands-on workshops. This is complemented by a Digital and AI Readiness Diagnostic, which supports business leaders in understanding digital maturity, identifying capability gaps, and developing a clear, actionable roadmap aligned to organisational goals. The Transition Year (TY) Innovation Build Camps will place students inside the type of environment where modern digital systems, AI workloads, and infrastructure are designed and operated. Working in teams, students will have the ability to share ideas, identify opportunities, build prototypes, and pitch their final concepts to community partners with the goal of developing confidence and practical capabilities. The TY programme is supported by engagement with businesses, who provide real-world challenges and act as project sponsors. A recent report from Microsoft and Trinity College Dublin estimates that AI adoption could add €250 billion to Ireland's GDP by 2035. However, the same report also highlighted a lack of expertise and uncertainty around structured deployment as key barriers to AI adoption in Ireland. Meanwhile, the Department of Enterprise, Trade, and Employment has set an ambition for 75 percent of all businesses in Ireland to be using AI, cloud, and big data by 2030. The collaboration between Turnua and Future Academy will help address the country's AI skills shortages and better equip the Irish workforce, from students to seasoned professionals. Speaking about the partnership, David Cox, Founder and Managing Director of Turnua, said: "We are very excited to launch this programme in partnership with Future Academy. I am personally passionate about equipping younger generations to better navigate the digital landscape aligned with the future of work. The Turnua Future Academy brings us one step closer to bridging the digital skills gap in a modern Irish workforce." Jenny Melia, CEO, Enterprise Ireland, added: "Enterprise Ireland is committed to supporting Ireland's homegrown entrepreneurs to succeed in global markets, and this includes a focus on boosting productivity and embracing the true potential of digital tools like AI. Turnua's partnership with Future Academy is a fantastic example of how Irish companies are proactively addressing digital skills needs by providing a hands-on environment for AI and digital transformation at their Naas hub. This partnership will support them to future-proof their own operations, while also providing an important resource for ...

There'll be a bigger splash of bright yellow across the countryside later in the spring, at least compared to last year. Signs are that, after a 40 year low in planting, Oilseed Rape is starting to come back into favour with farmers. Many had moved away from it because of pest problems, the chemical used to combat the Cabbage Stem Flea Beetle was banned in the UK in 2010. Low prices for other crops have made oilseed rape a more appealing prospect.Our subject for the week is farm vets. The UK is short of vets who want to work on farms and indeed those who want to work in the Government's animal health services, where the vacancy rate is about 25%. With the University of Cambridge considering closing its vet course and a survey last year suggesting that more than 40 per cent of farm vets have considered leaving their jobs: what's the future? Charlotte Smith discusses the reasons for a shortage of vets, and what could be done about it, with the president of the British Veterinary Association. We also hear from a panel of experts discussing the potential risks and benefits of Artificial Intelligence for vets and farmers.Presenter: Charlotte Smith Producer: Sarah Swadling

Now, drivers are coming to sit the test and some are struggling. Ellen O'Dwyer reports.
Is America facing a housing crash — or is this the correction we actually need? I sit down with real estate expert Jon Brooks to dismantle the biggest myth in today's economy: We do NOT have a housing supply shortage. Instead, we may be staring at the aftermath of artificially low mortgage rates, COVID-era speculation, government manipulation through QE and FHA loans, and a collapsing demand base. The "housing shortage" is a myth designed to prop up a bubble market. Here is the truth about real estate, the economy, and why you shouldn't buy a home right now. Separately, I cover why it's a mistake for Trump to oppose any budget reconciliation legislation and to own the terrible status quo economy by calling it “golden” and suggesting there is nothing more he wants to accomplish.
