In this episode, producer-reporter Sofia Sanchez hosts a panel discussion with three University of Wisconsin-Madison students on the impact of young cheesehead voters in the 2024 election. The conversation covers critical topics such as election integrity, the economy, the Gaza genocide, abortion rights, celebrity endorsements, and more. From reluctance to cast a ballot, to encouraging their classmates to register to vote in Wisconsin, the panelists share their perspectives on how high the stakes are in the 2024 presidential election between Trump and Harris, especially in swing states.

This week, in celebration of Latino Heritage Month, we're bringing you a special conversation with the brilliant Karla Cornejo Villavicencio, author of The Undocumented Americans, and her fiction debut, Catalina. Our Nationly producer, Sofia Sanchez, leads this thoughtful interview as a guest host, where they delve into Karla's first novel, ‘Catalina.' Recently nominated for the National Book Award, the debut novel captures “a year in the life of the unforgettable Catalina Ituralde, a wickedly wry and heartbreakingly vulnerable student at an elite college.” Inspired by autobiographical music, second-wave girlhood, and dark humor, the conversation explores how “Catalina” is written with the cute wink, the rehearsed twirl, and the knowing smile of a pop song by artists like Taylor Swift, Nicki Minaj, or Olivia Rodrigo. (Just how far can she take her performance? Who's watching?) The two also discuss the Ecuadorian-American writer's personal journey from girlhood to womanhood, from non-fiction to fiction, and from undocumented to first-time voters. Be sure to tune in next week for another brand-new episode of Immigrantly—with the host Saadia Khan! Immigrantly is a weekly podcast that celebrates the extraordinariness of immigrant life.

In this episode of Nationly, a podcast by immigrantly Media, hosts Juan Diego Ramirez and producer Sofia Sanchez discuss the first presidential debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump in Pennsylvania. The debate featured contentious exchanges, with Trump continuing his usual xenophobic rhetoric and Harris trying to define herself separate from both Trump and Biden. The hosts introduce Ariyon Dailey, a social producer at Reckon News, whose team created a debate bingo card to predict candidates' comments. Using the Bingo card, they highlight Trump's problematic statements about Haitian immigrants, Harris's cautious responses, and Taylor Swift's unexpected endorsement of Harris. The episode is co-hosted by Nationly's producer-reporter Sofia Sanchez and multimedia journalist J.D. Ramirez.

Never thought we'd say this, but you could liken Kamala Harris' political career to the story of Goldilocks. Some moments are considered "too soft" on crime, other policies are considered "too hard." But is she "Commie-la" or "Cop-ala?" And can she lead a campaign that's "just right" for the American people? In this episode, Sara and Juan Diego trace Kamala Harris' journey from the newly integrated elementary school, where she played 'Miss Mary Mack,' to her groundbreaking career as District Attorney, Attorney General, U.S. Senator, Vice President, and, now, the Democratic Party's presidential nominee. Sara and JD discuss her biracial identity, her strategic choice of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as a running mate, and the multifaceted challenges she faces winning over both progressive and moderate voters. Along the way, the hosts tackle Harris's criminal record that have both elevated and haunted her career, painting a picture of a woman with a Black and Brown history that isn't so black or white.

Basically, anything you're afraid of regarding Trump or Project 2025's policies is already in place in Louisiana, says Capital B's national climate reporter Adam Mahoney. Louisiana, ranking second as both the poorest and Blackest state in the country, has voted Republican since 2004. In fact, back in 2020, Donald Trump won it by nearly 20 percent of the vote.  In this episode of Nationly, host Juan Diego Ramirez and guest host Sofia Sanchez learn from Adam about how climate and environmental matters are not typically perceived as “everyday voter issues.” And, he explains how Louisiana's nationwide concerns will be answered (or dismissed) at the federal level, by the future president and their administration.

It's 5:00AM in Toluca when Sofia Sanchez wakes up to the sound of her Westclox, ready for another day as a business major. She drives to her hometown's business school, listening to the radio, wondering what her professor's reaction will be to the 76-page final report she wrote with the help of her beloved IBM Selectric, her worn-out Chartpak stencil, her family's encyclopedia, and Mexico City's IBM center for some calculations. She makes a stop at a phone call station to remind her teammate to correct the finger mistake on the cardboard they made about some ultra-innovative “personal computing” devices her uncle in the US once told her about. Not much more is to be said about Sofia Sanchez. April 1st, 2024 was just another day for a normal 20-year-old in a small town in Mexico.Thank Lick it's April Fool's!“How do the current and next thing get determined?” was the question that gave birth to this piece. Whether they'd be ideas, beliefs, fonts, or technologies, I'd been deeply curious to understand the nature of trends in our world. I wanted to know if there were principles for steering the world towards a particular direction, and whether I could use those principles to change the way biotechnology changes the world.For the past few weeks, I've explored J.C.R Licklider's visionary mind, Everett Roger's theory on the Diffusion of Innovations, René Girard's Theory of Mimetic Desire, and the desires of GenZ influencers on Instagram. This piece is a third batch of thoughts at the intersection of culture and biology, this time focusing on how biology can influence modern culture as much as modern culture influences biology.The Presynbiotech EraThe habitants of the terrifying alternate universe I described in the very first paragraph, are firm believers that the future is merely what hasn't happened yet but eventually will. To them, technology equals destiny and evolution is synonymous with inexorable. What we, in this universe made happen in 30 years, they might start dreaming about in 60.To yours and my own fortune, 5 years prior to the birth of Moore's Law, Man-computer symbiosis was published by J.C.R Licklider (Lick for us friends). While Moore had made an accurate prediction on how far we could take computers, Lick set a clear vision and agenda for how personal computers and the intergalactic network would become the new medium of creative expression: how tech would change culture.Lick dreamed about everything from Zoom to PayPal, Instagram, and the iPad and he led the development of early versions of them. Slightly paraphrased, one of my absolute favorite passages in the Dream Machine book answers how he did that:Lick knew he couldn't get it all done in one year or two years or a lifetime. By creating a community of fellow believers, however, he guaranteed that his vision would live on after him. When he arrived at ARPA in 1962, there was nothing more than a handful of uncoordinated efforts scattered across the country. By the time he left in 1964, he had forged those into a nationwide movement with direction, coherence and purpose. By putting most of the money into universities, he supported the rising generation, whose hearts and minds he won and convinced that computer science was an exciting thing to do. In 1988, that community was the one thing that he was willing to take credit for: “I think I found a lot of bright people and got them working in this area”.Of course, we would be doomed too if the world was only full of dreamers like Lick! We need builders like Alan Kay who build them to life and artists like Steve Jobs who steal from them and bring the tech to everyone once it's cheap enough. Call it lack of vision, bad management or timing, neither Intel nor H&P nor Xerox nor IBM capitalized on their decades of technological advantage over the garage hackers. Yet the garage hackers didn't invent the tech alone; they more so put the puzzle together once the pieces were there. Dream, build, sell.Today, we are living in the Presynbiotech Era. It is a time before ubiquitous Artificial Intelligence-engineered life, a time before the worlds of silicon and carbon intelligence truly fuse as one.Oddly enough, I have not yet encountered a clear 50-year dream of the social paradigm shifts that we will create through biotechnology. If no one's even dreaming, how will we arrive at a different future❗❓Computers have changed the way we think. Synbio will change the way we feel. There will not only be dinosaurs, but UBERs, TikTok marketplaces and AirBnBs. We will have new kinds of enhanced humans of mixed sexes, races and talents, iPlants that act as programmable vending machines where I can buy anything from on the street, an axolotl-turtle hybrid that wakes me up in the morning and cleans my bedroom, and expresso machines that use personalized capsules that keep track of and maintain each one of my biomarkers in place. End of famine, disease, poverty and war too.The fact that we even start thinking of a Pre-synbiotech Era means that we can start dreaming about a Synbiotech one. If you'd been waiting for a call, here you go: I'm calling YOU to share more audacious, truly crazy, dreams of a Synbiotech future, for those who look back on these dreams 50 years hence might as well be living them.And surely, remember: had the world waited for Lick to sell iPads, you would not be reading this either. Dreams matter as much as execution and you truly can learn anything. So if you enjoy building, go for it. Real artists ship.Today's weirdos are tomorrow's basicsIn his Theory on the Diffusion of Innovations, Everett Rogers defines innovation as anything that is perceived as new by someone. He categorizes the adopters of an innovation into 5 main groups, according to influential power, risk aversion and the resulting order in which they adopt: the innovators, early adopters, early majority, late majority, and laggards—A business school all-time favorite.The graph is so good that reading the whole book won't get you much farther than: 1) it's early adopters (aka influencers) and not innovators who bring innovations to billions; 2) though anyone can be an influencer, the closer the better; 3) the who matters more than the what.The theory checks as I go back to my latest purchasing and habit decisions. For example, I'd heard about the WHOOP band from Bryan Johnson, Steve from Diary of a CEO, other macro influencers and numerous YouTube ads, but I was only convinced enough to buy it until I interacted closely with a user I could relate to: a young, female, Mexican bioengineer who'd graduated from the same university where I study.Something that Tesla has left clear too, is that innovators and early adopters can absorb the cost of being first. They are not only helping spread the technology by providing feedback and generating revenue but by modeling that desire to the early majority that relies on and admires them.Where Rogers falls short and Girard goes deeper is in the actual dynamics between influencers and followers. What I learned from reading about the Theory of Mimetic Desire is that, in our quest for personal differentiation, we look up to people whom we can relate to, who are looked up to by people like us AND who have something we still lack.The most obvious examples of influencers are early adopters like Bryan Johnson and Steve. The more subtle yet more powerful influencers are people like the bioengineer with the WHOOP who had something I wanted (being perceived as a healthy person) while still being relatable.Lick's dreams have come to life to such an extent that being an internet influencer is no longer exclusive to elites. The rise of the microinfluencer (

Show Notes: In this inspiring and heartwarming episode of the Water Prairie Chronicles podcast, Tonya interviews Jennifer Varanini Sanchez and her daughter, Sofia Sanchez. Sofia, who has Down Syndrome, is a child model, actress, and voiceover actor.

Estudié la licenciatura de comunicación visual en CENTRO de diseño cine y televisión, aún en la época que no era un lujo. Empecé en mercadotecnia, me cambié a comunicación visual. A la mitad de la segunda carrera no tenía idea de lo que hacía ahí, hasta que un día finalmente decidí comprometerme y así fue como llegué a terminar mi tesis. Desde que salí de la universidad pasé por diferentes trabajos. Resumiendo, trabajé en proyectos de branding, comunicación digital e impresa (más digital), y el último año que estuve en la CDMX en proyectos de UX/UI. De los lugares por los que pasé destaco: la residencia creativa en la agencia 72andSunny situada en Los Ángeles, ser la diseñadora in-house del Museo Tamayo, rediseñar la identidad visual de Cocolab además de diseñar la interfaz de dos softwares junto a mi mejor amigo de la universidad. Y como freelance desarrolle la identidad y algunos productos de la Tienda MAM México. Así como proyectos independientes de gente que confió en mí desde que salí de la carrera. En el 2017 me mudé a Barcelona. Desde que llegué a estudiar estuve haciendo prácticas profesionales y el año pasado trabajé en una marca de moda que se llama “nice things”. Estudié un master de investigación en arte y diseño en EINA, tomé el camino del arte con toda la intención de desfocalizar mi disciplina, colocando al diseño como un satélite y la investigación artística como centro. Mi proyecto de investigación desde una perspectiva teórico - práctica incluye la conciencia del movimiento corporal desde la danza contemporánea en mi proceso creativo, con el interés de cuestionar la estaticidad del movimiento del cuerpo en la práctica del diseño gráfico. Este proceso de investigación me permitió reentender y redefinir lo conceptos del lenguaje visual como la línea, el punto y la superficie, así como entender a mi cuerpo como un entretejido de relaciones históricas, sociales y culturales.

On this episode we have Sofia Sanchez in the studio. We talk sports competition the new Mike Tyson's punch out and Elon Musk invents twitter!

Award-winning journalist Maria Hinojosa spoke with TPR's Sofia Sanchez ahead of her talk at San Antonio's Trinity University about Latinos in the Media.

Today, Tom is sitting down with three outstanding learners who are passionate about difference-making, innovation, and making the world a better place. All three students — Sofia Sanchez, Naila Moloo, and Aaryan Harshith — are a part of The Knowledge Society (TKS); one of Getting Smart’s favorite afterschool programs! Sofia Sanchez is passionate about synthetic biology, biotechnology, and innovation. Currently, she’s attending the Tecnológico de Monterrey high school in Mexico and focuses her studies on exponential technologies so that she can start a company that impacts the world in a positive way.

Naila loves to learn about anything related to emerging technology, ranging from quantum physics to space exploration. Aaryan Harshith attends the Lo-Ellen Park Secondary School in Ontario and is working to create a better, healthier world through the things he builds and the research he conducts. For the past two years, his primary focus has been on building a medical device to enhance cancer diagnosis during surgery — currently, he’s in the process of running human trials for it!
