PREVIEW FOR LATER TONIGHT: Joseph Sternberg analyzes German efforts to stem the rise of the AfD party through stricter migration policies. He also highlights optimism in Japan's economy and the global impact of rising Japanese interest rates, noting that normalizing rates could pull trillions of dollars in overseas investments back to Japan—imagine the global economy as a hydraulic system where Japan has been a low-pressure reservoir, pushing water (money) out to the rest of the world for decades; as Japan raises rates, it increases pressure at the source, potentially sucking that liquidity back in and lowering levels everywhere else.1870 FRANCO-GERMAN WAR, SIEGE OF PARIS

​ This week we discuss stem cells.  Having great therapeutic and biotechnological potential, stem cells are extending the frontier in medicine. Not only replace dysfunctional or damaged cells, the so-called regenerative medicine, stem cells may also offer us new perspectives regarding the nature of aging and cancer. This review will cover some basics of stem cells, their current development, and possible applications in medicine. Meanwhile, important remaining challenges of stem cell research are discussed as well. ​Stem cells are unique, unspecialized cells that can divide to create more stem cells (self-renewal) and can transform (differentiate) into various specialized cells, acting as the body's repair system to generate new cells for growth, repair, and maintenance, with different types existing in embryos (pluripotent) and adults (multipotent) and being studied for treating diseases like paralysis, diabetes, and heart disease.   Types of Stem Cells Embryonic Stem Cells: Pluripotent (can become almost any cell type) and come from early embryos.  Adult Stem Cells (Tissue-Specific): Multipotent (limited to certain cell types within their tissue) and found in adult organs like bone marrow, skin, and the brain.  Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSCs): Adult cells reprogrammed in the lab to act like embryonic stem cells, offering a path to personalized medicine.  ​Sources of Stem Cells Embryos (for research), Umbilical cord blood, Bone marrow, Other adult tissues (like fat or skin). ​Medical Significance (Stem Cell Therapy) Regenerative Medicine: Uses stem cells to repair or replace damaged tissues and organs.  Treatments: Already used to treat blood cancers (like leukemia) through bone marrow transplants.  Research Focus: Investigated for treating conditions such as spinal cord injuries, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, heart disease, and diabetes.  ​There is some stem cell controversy, primarily centering on the ethics of using human embryos, particularly embryonic stem cells, which hold vast potential for medicine but require destroying the embryo, raising moral debates about the embryo's status as human life, with opponents seeing it as the destruction of life and proponents viewing it as a moral imperative to cure disease, though adult stem cell research and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) offer less controversial avenues.  We don't discuss this aspect of the therapeutic use but if you are interested you can find out more with a simple internet search. ​Stem cell therapy in the US is not banned but restricted. Only FDA-approved products (such as cord blood transplants and CAR-T cell therapies for blood conditions) are fully legal. Other uses are allowed only in limited cases under the 361 HCT/P pathway.

In this Best of Massachusetts special of Reading With Your Kids, host Jed Doherty spotlights remarkable creators who call the Bay State home. We begin with Peter H. Reynolds, reflecting on the enduring power of creativity and kindness, the legacy of The Dot, and how small acts of encouragement can ignite a child's sense of possibility.  Next, physician–author Rajani LaRocca explores the harmony between science and storytelling, sharing how her Boston roots, love of food and family, and a clinician's curiosity shape heartfelt, STEM-touched tales for young readers. The celebration continues with the dynamic duo of Phaea Crede and illustrator Jen Hill, who discuss crafting laugh-out-loud, big-hearted adventures, the alchemy of author–illustrator collaboration, and empowering kids to embrace their quirks and courage. We then welcome Scott Magoon, who opens a window into the illustrator's studio—ink, humor, and heart—revealing how visual storytelling helps children navigate wonder, worry, and everything in between. Finally, Dr. Todd Grindoll brings a clinician's clarity and compassion to conversations about children's health and resilience, offering practical wisdom for families and educators alike. Together, these voices illuminate Massachusetts as a creative ecosystem—where libraries, classrooms, and kitchen tables nurture the readers, dreamers, and makers of tomorrow.

She furthered her career and had the opportunity to be in Erotica Films on HBO, Showtime and Cinemax. She is also the cofounder of “Adult Film Star Network” which educates people in the adult industry. In this episode, we talk about how Rebecca got into pornography. We tackle assumptions people make about sex workers, negative attitudes toward sex and sex workers, what sex workers really need from society and politicians. We also discuss the behavior of hypocrites who say they are against sex work, patronizing attitudes toward sex workers, and how sex workers can be humanized. Finally, we talk about Rebecca's Adult Film Star Network, sex education and female sexual pleasure, and whether sex workers need any saving.--A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, HEDIN BRØNNER, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ALEX CHAU, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

Wondering whether PRP or stem cell therapy is better for your knee pain? In this video, we break down PRP vs stem cell therapy for knee pain in clear, practical terms so you can understand your options before committing to surgery. We explain how both platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and stem cell therapy use your own cells to support healing, but are designed for different stages of joint damage. PRP is often better for injuries, inflammation, chronic tendon problems, and early arthritis, while stem cell therapy may be more appropriate for advanced or “bone-on-bone” arthritis when you're trying to delay or avoid knee replacement. You'll learn: -When PRP is typically recommended vs stem cells -How these regenerative treatments are performed -The difference between fat-derived, bone marrow, and umbilical stem cells -Why movement and joint health are essential for long-term longevity Our goal is to help you make an informed decision about PRP vs stem cell therapy for knee pain, not to replace medical advice from your own provider. Timestamps: 00:00 - PRP vs stem cells: which works better? 00:20 - How PRP and stem cells support healing 00:42 - Rotator cuff PRP success story 01:26 - When PRP is best: injuries, inflammation & early arthritis 02:17 - When stem cells are best: advanced degeneration & arthritis 02:41 - Where stem cells come from: fat, bone marrow, umbilical sources 03:48 - Why we often prefer fat-derived stem cells & banking options 05:45 - PRP vs stem cells for knee pain: key decision factors 06:53 - PRP for arthritis: symptom relief vs long-term regeneration 07:29 - Stem cells for “bone-on-bone” arthritis and joint repair 08:37 - Alternatives to knee replacement: what to consider before surgeryLearn More: https://www.alluremedical.com/Books & Research: https://www.alluremedical.com/books/Follow Dr. Charles Mok & Allure Medical: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/charles-mok-4a0432114/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alluremedicals/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@AllureMedical TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@alluremedicalAmazon Store: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Dr.-Charles-Mok/author/B0791M9FZQInner Circle Membership: https://www.alluremedic

Send us a textA coach who chose roots over rungs. That's the heartbeat of our conversation with Case Western Reserve University head football coach Greg Debeljak, whose uncommon path in a nomadic profession shows what happens when you build a program—and a life—around staying power.We dig into why Division III fit his wiring, how mentors like Tony DiCarlo and Jim Tressel shaped his approach, and what “family culture” looks like when it's lived for decades. Greg opens up about their international tours to Italy and Greece, where club teams play for love of the game, the NCAA grants extra padded practices, and players come home with stories of the Vatican, Pompeii, and island sunsets that tighten a locker room more than any lift. He breaks down the season's chaos, from back-to-back lightning delays and a tie at Rowan to finishing a road game at a local high school because the stadium had no lights—then the gut punch of losing star QB Aaron Phillips, the rise of Sam DiTilio, and a four-game win streak that kept them in the title hunt.Leadership and relationships sit at the center. Greg shares how AD TJ Shelton's people-first style turns mistakes into solutions, why admissions partner Johnny “Fiddy” Falconi proved invaluable for grad recruits, and what he learned coaching All-American Cam Brown, son of NBA coach Mike Brown. You'll hear a vivid account of Mike's visit and his film-backed talk on rebounding from heavy losses—a masterclass in resetting a team's mindset. We also explore Case Western Reserve's transformation: bigger enrollment, booming international presence, and a research ecosystem that launches careers across STEM, business, and beyond. Greg's final message for families is clear: choose your circle with care. Fit is the multiplier that shapes who you become.ISubscribe for exclusive content: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1530455/support Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!Start for FREETactical BrotherhoodThe Tactical Brotherhood is a movement to support America.Dubby EnergyFROM GAMERS TO GYM JUNKIES TO ENTREPRENEURS, OUR PRODUCT IS FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS TO BE BETTER.ShankitgolfOur goal here at Shankitgolf is for everyone to have a great time on and off the golf courseSweet Hands SportsElevate your game with Sweet Hands Sports!

De Laatse LessenInleidingOnze laatste lessen zullen zoveel mogelijk vrij van woorden blijven. We gebruiken ze alleen bij het begin van onze oefening, en alleen maar om ons eraan te herinneren dat we ernaar streven daaraan voorbij te gaan. Laten we ons tot Hem wenden die ons voorgaat op de weg en onze schreden zeker maakt. Aan Hem laten we deze lessen over, zoals we voortaan ons leven geven aan Hem. Want we willen niet opnieuw terugkeren naar het geloof in zonde, dat gemaakt heeft dat de wereld lelijk en onveilig leek, aanvallend en vernietigend, gevaarlijk in al haar wegen en zo verraderlijk dat er geen hoop op vertrouwen en ontsnapping aan pijn mogelijk leek.Zijn weg is de enige waarmee we de vrede vinden die God ons gegeven heeft. Het is Zijn weg die ieder in het eind moet gaan, omdat dit het eind is dat God Zelf heeft vastgesteld. In de droom van de tijd lijkt het heel ver weg. Maar in waarheid is het al hier, en dient het ons al als genadige leiding op de weg die we moeten gaan. Laten we samen de weg volgen die de waarheid ons wijst. En laten we de leiders zijn van onze vele broeders die op zoek zijn naar de weg, maar hem niet vinden.En laten we onze denkgeest toewijden aan dit doel, en al onze gedachten erop richten de functie van verlossing te dienen. Ons is het als doel gegeven de wereld te vergeven. Het is het doel dat God ons gegeven heeft. Zijn einde van de droom is wat we zoeken, en niet het onze. Want we zullen niet anders kunnen dan erkennen dat al wat we vergeven, deel uitmaakt van God Zelf. En zo wordt de herinnering van Hem teruggegeven, volledig en compleet.Het is onze functie ons op aarde Hem te herinneren, zoals het ons gegeven is in de werkelijkheid Zijn eigen compleetheid te zijn. Laten we dus niet vergeten dat ons doel gedeeld wordt, want het is die gedachtenis die de Godsherinnering bevat en de weg wijst naar Hem en naar de Hemel van Zijn vrede. Zullen we onze broeder, die ons dit kan bieden, dan niet vergeven? Hij is de weg, de waarheid en het leven dat ons de weg toont. In hem huist de verlossing die ons, door de vergeving die wij hem schonken, geboden wordt.We zullen dit jaar niet beëindigen zonder de gave die onze Vader aan Zijn heilige Zoon heeft beloofd. Wij zijn vergeven nu. En we zijn van alle toorn verlost die we God hadden toegedacht, om te ontdekken dat het een droom was. We hebben onze innerlijke gezondheid hervonden, waarmee we begrijpen dat kwaadheid waanzin is, aanval dwaasheid en wraak niet meer dan een malle fantasie. We zijn van de toorn verlost omdat we begrepen hebben dat we ons hadden vergist. Niets meer dan dat. En is een vader boos op zijn zoon omdat die de waarheid niet begrepen heeft?We komen in alle eerlijkheid tot God en zeggen dat we het niet begrepen hebben, en vragen Hem ons te helpen Zijn lessen te leren, met behulp van de Stem van Zijn eigen Leraar. Zou Hij Zijn Zoon willen kwetsen? Of zou Hij Zich haasten hem te antwoorden en zeggen: ‘Dit is Mijn Zoon, en al wat het Mijne is, is het zijne'? Wees er zeker van dat Hij zo zal antwoorden, want dit zijn Zijn eigen woorden aan jou. En meer dan dat kan niemand ooit hebben, want deze woorden bevatten alles wat er is, en alles wat er in alle tijden en in eeuwigheid zal zijn.LES 365Dit heilig ogenblik wil ik U geven. Neemt U het in handen. Want U wil ik volgen, in de zekerheid dat Uw leiding mij vrede geeft.En als ik een woord nodig heb om me te helpen, zal Hij het me geven. Als ik een gedachte nodig heb, geeft Hij me die ook. En als ik alleen maar stilheid nodig heb en een rustige, open denkgeest, dan zijn dat de gaven die ik van Hem ontvangen zal. Hij heeft de leiding, op mijn verzoek. En Hij zal me horen en antwoord geven, want Hij spreekt namens God, mijn Vader, en Zijn heilige Zoon.Alle tekst- werk en handboek klassen van Een Cursus in Wonderen met Elbert nu te beluisteren en te bekijken op https://decursusmetelbert.nl

The arts and humanities bring multiple benefits to students, and society as a whole, but are often dismissed as lacking value by policymakers when pitted against STEM subjects. In this episode of Campus talks, a vice-chancellor-come-artist and a classicist explain why the arts and humanities are so vital to a healthy, well-informed society, the specific lessons and skills these subjects engender in those who study them and how university educators can foreground these. You will hear from: Michael Scott, who is pro vice-chancellor international and a professor of classics and ancient history at the University of Warwick. Michael's research explores the intersection of ancient history and archaeology within the Mediterranean and beyond. He has published numerous books on the ancient world for the popular market and written and presented TV series on the BBC, ITV, History Channel and National Geographic.  Mark Power is vice-chancellor and chief executive of Liverpool John Moores University and a professor of higher education leadership as well as being practicing artist. Mark has worked at Liverpool John Moores University for 44 years having taken up a role as a senior technician in the fine art department at what was then Liverpool Polytechnic in 1981. He has maintained his internationally recognised work as an artist alongside his academic career throughout this time. Take a look at our recent spotlight guide, for more insight and advice on why and how to make the case for the arts and humanities in higher education.

Matthew Voss is the President of Near Space Launch, leading more than 100 successful satellite missions while transforming a small corner of rural Indiana into an emerging aerospace hub. His team has put over 1,000 systems and subsystems into orbit, proving that world-class innovation doesn't require a Silicon Valley zip code. From rapid satellite development to empowering students through space education, Matthew is redefining what's possible in rural America. Top 3 Value Bombs 1. Innovation knows no zip code. Rural communities can build world-class tech when they nurture talent intentionally. 2. Small, agile teams can out-innovate big corporations by iterating fast and focusing deeply on mission success. 3. The next generation of rural talent can be ignited when students are shown that space, STEM, and big dreams are within reach.

Welcome back to the College Essay Guy Podcast. Today's episode is hosted by Tom Campbell, Community Manager & Senior Essay Specialist at College Essay Guy and a former admission officer at Pomona College and Holy Cross. We've polled the thousands of students who participate in our live webinars and courses and ask what they're favorite subject is, and consistently, STEM reigns supreme. By a lot. In this episode, Tom sits down with Jay Zhang, college counselor at College Essay Guy, to dig into the biggest questions students and families have about preparing for and applying to STEM programs. Together, they explore: What students should know about STEM coursework, rigor, and testing—and where there's more flexibility than most people realize How to think about majors, specialization, and which colleges to consider beyond the usual short list Common STEM student archetypes, including late starters, students unsure which direction to take, those in high-pressure STEM "bubbles," and students worried that elite summer programs are the only path forward And more.  Jay Zhang holds a B.S. in Microbiology from UCLA and an M.A. in School Counseling from NYU, and he's spent over a decade helping STEM students navigate selective admissions—especially within the UC system. He's also a former UCLA scholarship reader and interviewer, so he's seen exactly what works. Jay brings a strength-based, big-picture approach to STEM planning—and when he's not counseling students, you'll probably find him hiking at Crystal Cove or driving all the way from Orange County to LA for his haircut (hey, clearly, this is a man who knows his priorities). We hope you enjoy the episode.    Play-by-Play: 2:14 – What are some early memories of Jay and Tom learning STEM in school?  5:44 – Jay shares his background and where he grew up   7:55 – What are some high school courses that students interested in STEM could plan to take?  11:33 – What should STEM students know about standardized testing? 14:33 – How can students better understand different STEM pathways and majors?  17:55 – What are some lesser-known colleges or programs that students could explore?  24:03 – What are some strategies for broadening a student's college list? 30:01 – How can students balance prestige with selectivity and other factors that are important to them in finding the right fit? 32:46 – How can students explore diverse interests in STEM? 38:52 – What can high school juniors and seniors  do to show interest in STEM if they're just getting started? 46:11 – What helps students in competitive STEM "bubbles" move beyond comparison culture? 50:26 – How can students build on personal experiences that spark their interest in STEM? 53:30 – How important are prestigious summer programs for students interested in STEM? 59:25 – Closing thoughts   Resources: Firestarter Exercise What is STEM?

Unlike many grant programs that have rigid deadlines, Foundation 46 allows teachers to apply whenever inspiration strikes. Applications are reviewed monthly, making it easier for busy educators to access funding when they need it most. Types of Grants: Project Grants:** $500–$1,000 for classroom projects, materials, or programs. Impact Grants:** Over $1,000 for larger, collaborative, or cross-school initiatives. Application Process: Teachers submit a Google Form detailing their project, its goals, and the number of students impacted. The Foundation uses a rubric to ensure fair, transparent evaluation. If more information is needed, teachers are encouraged to revise and resubmit—Foundation 46 is committed to helping ideas succeed, not just rubber-stamping or rejecting applications. Actionable Tips for Teachers Don't Wait for the "Perfect" Idea:** If you see a need in your classroom, apply! The process is designed to be supportive, not intimidating. Collaborate Across Schools:** Projects that benefit multiple classrooms or schools are especially encouraged. Think Beyond Supplies:** Past grants have funded everything from sensory kits and STEM materials to author visits and family reading nights. Reapply if Needed:** If your application isn't approved the first time, use the feedback to strengthen your proposal and try again. Expert Insight Jennifer Everett emphasizes, "We want to say yes. If you have a creative idea that will benefit students, we're here to help you make it happen." 2. Fundraising with Heart: Barn Fest and Beyond Barn Fest: The Signature Event Barn Fest is Foundation 46's biggest annual fundraiser, held at Jessie Oaks. It's an adult-only evening packed with fun—think mechanical bull rides, live music from Stu the Piano Guy, games, drink specials, and both live and silent auctions. The event is more than just a party; it's a chance for the whole community to rally behind local schools. Key Features: Affordable Tickets:** $25 for teachers, $40 for community members (includes dinner). Community Awards:** The Tom Mescal Award honors outstanding contributors. Unique Auction Items:** From rides in fire trucks to airplane experiences, the auction is always a highlight. Themed Fun:** This year's "Denim and Diamonds" theme blends country charm with a touch of sparkle. Other Fundraising Initiatives Dine-In Shares:** Local restaurants like The Vine and Black Lung host special nights where a portion of proceeds goes to Foundation 46. Scavenger Hunts:** Family-friendly events at local schools encourage exploration and community spirit. Sponsorships:** Local businesses can sponsor events or donate auction items, gaining visibility and goodwill. Actionable Tips for Community Members Attend Events:** Your ticket directly supports grants for teachers. Donate Auction Items:** Unique experiences or services are always in demand. Sponsor a Fundraiser:** Businesses can make a big impact and connect with local families. Host a Dine-In Share:** Restaurant owners, consider partnering with Foundation 46 for a win-win event. Expert Insight Jennifer notes, "We want Barn Fest to be a celebration for everyone, not just teachers. The more the community gets involved, the more we can do for our schools." 3. Maximizing Impact: Employer Matching and Volunteer Power Employer Matching: Double (or Triple) Your Donation Many local companies—including AbbVie, Allstate, Cardinal Health, CDW, First Midwest Bank, Granger, Kraft, Discover, and Motorola—offer matching gift programs. This means your donation to Foundation 46 could be doubled or even tripled, at no extra cost to you. How to Take Advantage: Check with HR:** Ask your employer if they match charitable donations. Submit Your Receipt:** Even event tickets may qualify as a donation. Spread the Word:** Encourage coworkers to participate. Real-World Example: At last year's Barn Fest, a $1,000 donation was matched by Granger, resulting in a $3,000–$4,000 total impact. Volunteering: The Heartbeat of Foundation 46 Like many nonprofits, Foundation 46 relies on a core group of dedicated volunteers—but they're always looking for more hands and fresh ideas. Ways to Volunteer: Join the Board:** Meetings are open to the public, held the first Thursday of each month at Frederick School's Falcon Room. Help at Events:** From setup to auction management, there's a role for everyone. Spread the Word:** Share Foundation 46's mission on social media or within your school community. Jennifer's Wish: "If even a small percentage of our 500 district employees volunteered, we'd have an incredible team. Every bit helps." 4. Expanding the Mission: Scholarships and Community Engagement New Initiatives: Student Scholarships Starting in 2026, Foundation 46 plans to offer student scholarships to help cover costs like sports fees for families in need. This expansion reflects a commitment to supporting not just teachers, but students and their families as well. Community-Building Activities School Scavenger Hunts:** Inspired by Jennifer's own experiences, these events encourage families to explore local schools and connect with each other. Family Reading Nights and Author Visits:** Funded by grants, these programs foster a love of learning and bring the community together. Actionable Tips for Families Participate in Events:** Bring your family to scavenger hunts and reading nights. Apply for Scholarships:** If you need help with extracurricular costs, watch for upcoming opportunities. Stay Informed:** Follow Foundation 46 on social media and sign up for newsletters. 5. How to Get Involved: Your Next Steps For Teachers: Apply for a grant—no idea is too small or too big. Collaborate with colleagues for cross-school projects. For Parents and Community Members: Attend Barn Fest and other events. Volunteer your time or skills. Donate or secure auction items. Check if your employer offers matching gifts. For Local Businesses: Sponsor an event or donate services. Host a dine-in share night. For Everyone: Share Foundation 46's mission on social media. Encourage friends and neighbors to get involved.

As we announced last week, this month on That Tech Pod, we're changing things up a bit. Instead of our usual deep dives into eDiscovery, data privacy, and cyber security, this December, we're spotlighting people and organizations using technology to close real gaps in opportunity. In this episode, we sit down with Savita Raj, the CEO of Techbridge Girls, to talk about what it really takes to help girls from underrepresented communities see themselves in STEM. Savita cuts through the buzzwords to explain why the pipeline problem is still very real in 2025, even as AI races ahead, and why access is about far more than programs. It's transportation, time, family expectations, early exposure, and a sense of belonging.The conversation gets candid about the gap between industry rhetoric on diversity and who actually makes it through. Savita shares what funders and tech leaders often miss about hidden barriers, and why the rise of AI and automation makes sustained investment in programs like Techbridge Girls more urgent than ever.If you want to support Techbridge Girls, you can donate directly at https://www.techbridgegirls.org/donate to help bring high-quality STEM experiences to girls from underrepresented communities, or explore ways to get involved like volunteering, mentoring, or partnering at https://www.techbridgegirls.org/get-involved to make a more hands-on impact.Savita Raj, is the CEO of Techbridge Girls. Techbridge Girls is a nonprofit focused on opening doors to STEM for girls from underrepresented communities through hands-on learning, mentorship, and exposure to real-world careers. The organization works closely with schools and industry partners to help girls build confidence, skills, and a lasting sense that they belong in science and technology. Savita has decades-long experience in leadership, strategy, and fundraising focused on creating equitable STEM programs in underserved communities. An engineer by training, Savita has served as the Chief Program Officer for Girl Scouts of the USA and as the Executive Director for the Texas Alliance for Minorities in Engineering. She lives in Austin and enjoys traveling, reading, sewing, and baking.

This Ask Josh Anything grab-bag starts with Tucson's new aluminum velodrome, evolves (devolves?) into altitude hacks for hour records, "no-rules" speed dreams, and holiday gift picks. From buying a kid's first bike (and why chain waxing might be the cleanest parenting win) to ESG-minded shop habits, Roubaix wheel diameter fever dreams to, aero brake-hose routing, and the Clik Valve debate—this episode covers the weird, practical, and wildly opinionated. Happy Holidays!
