Most organizations think they have an AI tool problem. They do not. They have an AI behavioral problem. The licenses get bought, the workshops happen, and by Monday morning, people are back to working exactly as they did before.This episode is sponsored by Deel.Hire, manage, and pay anyone, anywhere: https://www.deel.com/nickdayhr/In this episode of @thehrldpodcast Nick Day is joined by Jamie Bykov-Brett, an AI transformation strategist, TEDx speaker, and co-founder of the Executive AI Institute. Jamie's path into AI started in youth work, supporting young people from marginalized backgrounds into STEM careers. It was there, back in 2014, that he began forecasting how automation would reshape the workforce, discovering along the way that technology adoption rarely fails because of the tools themselves; it fails because people were never taken through the change. That change management lens is exactly what he brings to AI training and organizational transformation today.Nick and Jamie explore why one-off AI workshops rarely create lasting behavior change, and why real transformation starts with human-centric skill development, not the tools. They unpack the "eliminate, automate, delegate" framework for deciding where AI actually belongs in a workflow, why psychological safety is the missing ingredient in most AI rollouts, and how legacy failed change projects can quietly sabotage adoption before training even begins. They also dig into why your most resistant employees might be your best future change agents, why highly technical people sometimes struggle most with AI adoption, why organizations should expect a temporary dip in performance during rollout rather than instant ROI, and what it actually looks like to design an AI learning intervention that turns AI into a daily working habit rather than a novelty.In a world where organizations are under pressure to prove AI adoption is working immediately, this episode makes the case that the real barriers were never technical. They are emotional, cultural, and behavioral, and the organizations that address that will be the ones that actually get results.A must-listen for HR leaders, L&D professionals, and anyone responsible for making AI adoption actually stick inside their organization.Enjoyed this?

Veronique de Rugy warns new administration rules replace flexible status for foreign students with fixed four-year periods, targeting the "best educated people on Earth." De Rugy warns this policy dissuades future scientists and innovators from choosing the U.S. Restricting these STEM graduates could cost the economy between $200 billion and $400 billion in lost GDP over the next decade, while potentially causing severe long-term labor shortages.

SCHEDULE FOR THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 7-31-20261790 SOUTH HOLLANDJeff Bliss reports a refrigeration fire in Boyle Heights has released a toxic stench and caused an explosion in local rat and insect populations. Residents remain displaced due to overpowering toxic aftereffects. Simultaneously, a massive heat dome and hurricane-driven surf are hitting the Southwest. L.A. County lifeguards performed nearly 1,200 rescues last Saturday, facing dangerous conditions and substance abuse issues on crowded beaches escaping the intense heat. (1)Jeff Bliss notes Governor Gavin Newsom is preparing for a 2028 presidential run, but past controversies are resurfacing. A Vanity Fair article by Ruby Rippey-Tourk, his former mistress and the wife of his then-campaign manager, accuses Newsom of being "careless" and "cruel" during their 2007 affair. His wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, is also being criticized for shaming Rippey-Tourk, leading to questions about the Newsoms' commitment to women's advocacy. (2)Richard Epstein examines New York City's proposed "pied-à-terre tax," which targets non-primary residences but threatens middle-class and working homeowners. Epstein argues the tax is unfairly structured, hitting condominiums at five times the rate of houses. The complex valuation process creates a "vicious circle" that could plummet property values. Consequently, wealthy residents are already fleeing, resulting in a $12 billion annual revenue loss for the city. (3)Richard Epstein turns to Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, under fire for signing a document that allegedly exempts the President from IRS scrutiny regarding past and future taxes. Epstein characterizes this as a "scandalous" misuse of public trust and a misapplication of the law. He argues that if the President used his office for private financial benefit, it constitutes an impeachable offense, while Blanche should face potential disbarment. (4)Jim McTague takes a road trip through Owensboro, Kentucky, revealing a "K-shaped" economy where retail business is "dead" for blue-collar residents relying on federal aid. Conversely, Jeffersonville, Ohio, is experiencing a "gold rush" as Amazon and Honda build massive data and battery centers. However, some local residents feel overwhelmed by progress, lacking the imagination or education to capitalize on these high-tech industrial shifts and training opportunities. (5)Jim McTague reports that in Lancaster County, Republican representatives are introducing legislation that adds red tape and taxes to data centers, contradicting traditional pro-growth principles. While the Democratic-led Lancaster Cityhas embraced a lucrative data center deal, blue-collar "Trump country" boroughs remain fearful of the future. Despite these tensions, the local economy remains "steady" due to a diversified base including agriculture, pharmaceuticals, and senior citizen spending. (6)Peter Huessy explains the foundation of U.S. nuclear strategy is the triad, ensuring launch capabilities from land, sea, and air. Developed after the 1957 Sputnik launch, this framework replaced "massive retaliation" with "flexible response." Huessy explains that this survivable deterrent prevents adversaries from achieving a total victory with a single strike. Despite calls for unilateral disarmament, the triad remains essential for holding at risk what adversaries value most. (7)Peter Huessy warns the U.S. now faces a tri-polar nuclear threat from Russia and China, both of which are modernizing their arsenals "gangbusters." Meanwhile, U.S. systems haven't been updated in 40 years, leaving the deterrent "fragile." Allied nations in Asia, specifically South Korea and Japan, are increasingly questioning the U.S. nuclear umbrella and considering their own deterrents as regional tensions and Chinese missile capabilities grow. (8)Henry Sokolski reports a proposed nuclear agreement with Saudi Arabia is causing alarm due to potential uranium enrichment capabilities. Sokolski warns that nuclear fuel-making brings a nation dangerously close to developing a bomb. Saudi Arabia's refusal to accept advanced "protocol one" inspections is a major "red flag." Furthermore, the deal risks overturning 50 years of global non-proliferation policy, potentially encouraging other nations like Iran to demand equal treatment. (9)Henry Sokolski notes Senator John Kennedy has emerged as a dogged opponent of granting Saudi Arabia enrichment authority, labeling it a "bad idea." The agreement will automatically go into force within 90 legislative days unless Congress passes a veto-proof resolution against it. Kennedy's vocal stance may rally other senators to stop the package, potentially forcing the White House to renegotiate the deal to prevent spreading dangerous nuclear capabilities. (10)Gene Marks reports accountants in California are grappling with AI integration, viewing it as a productivity tool rather than a replacement for human consultation. Meanwhile, the broader economy remains resilient; manufacturing has expanded for five consecutive months despite high gas prices and elevated interest rates. Marks highlights that businesses are "rolling with inflation" and increasing orders for durable goods, indicating high underlying confidence despite stock market volatility. (11)Gene Marks compares public protests against data centers to the 19th-century opposition to railroads. While critics worry about land and water usage, Marks argues these facilities are imperative infrastructure for the information age and the AI revolution. Just as railroads enabled 20th-century American power, data centers are the means for moving information. Ceding this development would allow rivals like China or Russia to dominate the future economy. (12)Veronique de Rugy warns new administration rules replace flexible status for foreign students with fixed four-year periods, targeting the "best educated people on Earth." De Rugy warns this policy dissuades future scientists and innovators from choosing the U.S. Restricting these STEM graduates could cost the economy between $200 billion and $400 billion in lost GDP over the next decade, while potentially causing severe long-term labor shortages. (13)Lorenzo Fiori reports a historic heatwave has pushed the Po River to record lows, devastating Italy's agricultural heartland and water supplies for power stations. The ecological crisis includes an invasion of blue crabs, which are destroying clam populations and disrupting local cuisine. Meteorologists struggle to forecast as traditional weather models fail in the face of climate change. Tourists are encouraged to seek the cooler, historical beauty of Noto, Sicily. (14)Bob Zimmerman reports SpaceX's Starship successfully floated for a week after splashdown, providing invaluable data for rapid reusability. The company further cemented its market dominance with a $1.6 billion Space Force contract, while competitors remain grounded. Additionally, startups are emerging to solve technical hurdles for orbital data centers, such as advanced heat radiation. These advancements indicate that the future of massive data processing may eventually move into permanent space orbit. (15)Bob Zimmerman notes China continues the dangerous practice of dropping uncontrolled rocket debris on its citizens, forcing them to hide in tunnels. In the commercial sector, the startup Catalyst attempted a high-speed satellite rescue mission, demonstrating rapid launch capabilities despite technical failures. Meanwhile, astronomers have identified a rare midsize black hole, a discovery that will likely be expanded upon as the new Rubin telescope begins its sky surveys. (16)Corrections applied, pending your confirmation: Ruby Rippey-Tourk (transcribed as "Ruby Rippy," segment 2), Todd Blanche (transcribed as "Mr. Blanch," segment 4), Rubin telescope (transcribed as "Reuben," segment 16 — the Vera C. Rubin Observatory), and "burrows" → "boroughs" in segment 6. One to flag: this batch has Lorenzo Fiori (segment 14), but an earlier batch had him as "Lorenzo Fiato" — let me know which spelling is correct and I'll log it for good.

Travel with students changes what a school leader sees. Karen Spencer, principal of Parkview Baptist School in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, treats travel as part of her school's mission rather than an add-on — a sixth grade overnight, a seventh grade STEM and history trip to Boston, Washington D.C. in eighth grade, and international travel in high school. In this conversation she walks through how the Boston trip started, what it costs a principal in effort, and what she gets back that nothing inside the building can give her. In this episode, you'll learn: How a single teacher's push to "bring more STEM to the school" became an annual seventh grade trip to Boston Why the trip grew from STEM-only into STEM, history and fun — MIT, Harvard, robotics, the Freedom Trail, Lexington and Concord What a grade-by-grade travel ladder looks like when each grade builds on the last What hands-on learning looks like abroad — cooking classes, flamenco lessons, hiking and biking Karen's honest answer to administrators who ask why she'd take on the headache, and the mindset she says you have to bring Full show notes, resources and the complete transcript: https://www.coolcatteacher.com/e959  Sponsor.

A majority of states are demanding more regulation of the billion-dollar prediction market industry, while federal regulators have sided with the companies in their lawsuits against state regulation laws. MS NOW's Ali Velshi shares the latest. Then, men are more scarce in HEAL careers, short for health care, education, administration, and literacy, than women are in STEM. Darby Saxbe argues that the best way to improve prestige and pay for the women in these fields is to get more men into them, and she points to the history of computing as an example. And, cannabis has become a popular sleep aid, but while THC — one of its main active ingredients — has been shown to induce drowsiness and sleep, research shows cannabis may actually make sleep quality worse. University of Calgary neuroscientist Matthew Hill tells us about the interaction between cannabinoids, sleep and stress.See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

Can stem cell therapy help the body repair itself? Learn how stem cells may influence inflammation, immune function, tissue regeneration, brain health, and aging.Stem cell therapy is one of the most talked-about areas of regenerative medicine, but not all stem cells or treatments are the same.

In this episode of The Beacon Way Podcast, Adrienne Wilkerson sits down with Shannon Russell, founder of Build Better Teams Consulting, to explore how LEGO Serious Play can help organizations strengthen communication, uncover new ideas, and create more connected teams.Shannon began her career as a television producer before leaving the industry to build a STEM education business while raising two young children. After spending more than eight years teaching LEGO and robotics, she discovered LEGO Serious Play, a hands-on methodology that helps adults think, communicate, and solve problems in a more visual and collaborative way. During the conversation, Shannon explains how building with LEGO can create a more level playing field during meetings. Instead of hearing only from the most vocal people in the room, every team member has an opportunity to build, explain, and contribute their perspective.Adrienne and Shannon also discuss the challenges of managing remote and growing teams, the importance of regular check-ins, and why leaders need to create more opportunities for genuine human connection in an increasingly digital workplace.Whether you are leading a small business, navigating rapid growth, managing a remote team, or trying to improve collaboration across your organization, this conversation offers practical ways to help people feel heard, valued, and connected.In This Episode• Shannon's transition from television producer to entrepreneur • Starting a business while raising young children • How Shannon's STEM education company evolved • What LEGO Serious Play is and how it works • Why hands-on learning can improve understanding and retention • Creating space for quieter team members to contribute • How LEGO can reveal team roles, gaps, and opportunities • Supporting accidental business owners who suddenly have a team • Using LEGO Serious Play with remote and in-person teams • How regular check-ins strengthen team cohesion • Building stronger relationships in remote workplaces • Why celebrating wins can create a healthier team culture Key TakeawaysHands-on learning creates deeper understanding: LEGO Serious Play encourages people to think with their hands. Team members build their answers, explain their ideas, and create a visual representation that others can better understand and remember.Every team member deserves an opportunity to contribute: Traditional meetings often favor the most vocal people in the room. A structured building exercise gives quieter or more introverted team members an equal opportunity to share their ideas.Strong teams require consistent connection: Remote work can leave employees feeling isolated or disconnected from the larger organization. Regular team check-ins and intentional one-on-one conversations can help people understand their priorities, ask for support, and feel valued.Leaders need to know their people: Team cohesion is not only about productivity. Asking about an employee's family, challenges, goals, and life outside of work can build the trust needed for stronger communication and long-term retention.Celebrating progress strengthens culture: Ending the week by recognizing personal and professional wins can help teams focus on what is going well instead of only discussing problems and unfinished tasks.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Shannon's Career Journey01:14 Transitioning from Television to STEM Education03:14 Starting a Business with Young Children08:41 Discovering LEGO Serious Play10:50 How LEGO Serious Play Improves Team Collaboration13:24 Tactile Learning and Human Connection16:26 Building Team Roles and Organizational Plans17:46 Supporting Accidental Business Owners19:16 Helping Team Members Understand Their Roles21:38 Virtual vs. In-Person LEGO Sessions23:28 Keeping Growing Teams Connected24:22 Weekly and Individual Team Check-Ins26:17 Celebrating Wins and Strengthening Culture28:55 Building Deeper Workplace Relationships30:23 How to Connect with Shannon RussellConnect with Shannon Russell:Build Better Teams Consultinghttps://buildbetterteamsconsulting.comBuild Better Teams Podcasthttps://buildbetterteamsconsulting.com/podcast

You worked harder. You delivered more. And the promotion still went to someone else. Most people chalk that up to politics, or to not being likable enough, or to bad luck. In this episode, Susan Callender breaks down why none of those explanations are true, and lays out the actual framework that separates the people who move up from the people who stay stuck: mastering being visible, vocal, and valuable. This isn't about working harder. In fact, working the hardest is often exactly what keeps high performers boxed into their current role, because becoming indispensable as a doer is the fastest way to become impossible to promote. Susan walks through the specific, learnable skills inside each pillar, presence, focus, and systems under visible; networking, communication, and personal relationships under vocal; physical energy, emotional energy, and cultivating joy under valuable, and gives listeners a concrete homework assignment to close the gap starting this week. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why hard work alone doesn't get you promoted, and can actually work against you The three pillars that determine who moves up: visible, vocal, and valuable Why "doer" and "leader" are perceived as two different things, and how to shift how you're seen The specific skills inside each pillar, from executive-level systems and storytelling to strategic networking to physical and emotional energy Why so many promotion decisions are made long before the role is ever posted A concrete, deadline-driven homework assignment to start closing your own gap this week   Quiz:  "Are Your People Skills Undermining Your Executive Presence?"

"When you get to the age of 100 and 110 and still have that signal that's strong like we're at 20, we'll reach those older ages at an active state." — Dr. Tommy Rhee Here is a genuinely new idea, explained clearly by someone who has lived at the intersection of elite sport and cutting-edge medicine for decades. Dr. Tommy Rhee — chiropractor, former practitioner for UCLA Athletics and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers — has developed a topical cream that delivers the active signals of stem cell therapy directly through the skin. No needles. No clinic visit. Just the molecules your body needs to tell its own tissue to wake up and repair itself. The science, as Dr. Rhee explains it, comes down to signalling. Stem cells don't become new tissue — they secrete tiny molecules that carry the message to regenerate. As we age, that signal weakens. What Dr. Rhee has done is capture the signal without the live cell, making a molecule small enough to penetrate all three layers of skin and reach the target tissue directly. Thirty days of use, morning and evening, he says, produces results comparable to an injection — at a fraction of the cost, and available without a clinic visit. Raymond and Dr. Rhee also look ahead to where this is going: plant-based versions of the same signalling technology that could bring the price down further and put the product directly in the hands of anyone who wants it.

This is Derek Miller, Speaking on Business. For over 25 years, Thanksgiving Point has been one of Utah's most beloved destinations, but its mission goes deeper than a fun day out. CEO, McKay Christensen, shares how they're making hands-on STEM learning accessible to every child in our state. McKay Christensen: In Utah, 31 percent of kids from high-income households will go on to work in higher-paying STEM jobs, while only 7 percent of low-income kids will do the same. Closing that gap means hundreds of thousands of Utah's kids can lift themselves from the cycle of poverty. And to help, Thanksgiving Point conducts 200 STEM labs and programs each week across its museums and science centers. Our goal is to bring hands-on STEM learning to all Utah's kids. That's why children whose families receive SNAP or WIC benefits can visit our STEM labs, museums and science centers for free. We're building, by the way, a new Children's Technology Center in Lehi, where the next generation can explore the tech shaping Utah's future in industries like aerospace and energy and biotech and fin tech. So I guess it's true, Thanksgiving Point is where curious kids grow. Derek Miller: Thanksgiving Point welcomes more than 1.5 million visitors each year, but its greatest impact is inspiring Utah's next generation of innovators, problem solvers and leaders.

This week, education gets artificial and prison security goes prehistoric.First, the company behind Realbotix is pitching schools on humanoid AI teacher assistants, because apparently the journey from crypto to adult companionship to high-school STEM education is now a perfectly normal corporate career path. Could a lifelike robot help teenagers learn science, or will “Sally” spend the semester explaining algebra to students desperately searching for her off switch?Then, Israel clears a regulatory path that could allow Nile crocodiles to guard prisons and discourage escape attempts. That's right, razor wire and watchtowers may soon be joined by several tons of hungry, armored swamp dinosaur with absolutely no respect for visitation hours.Join us as we examine AI robot teachers, crocodile prison guards, and the continuing global effort to turn everyday life into a low-budget science-fiction movie. Grab your hall pass, stay away from the moat, and remember: there are no stupid questions, but there may be crocodiles.Links & Resources

In this week's episode of The Learning Curve, co-hosts Prof. Albert Cheng of Ohio State University and Alisha Searcy of the Center for Strong Public Schools speak with Bob Nasson, Editor of The Concord Review and Executive Director of the National History Club. They discuss the importance of rigorous history education and students' essay writing in developing academic excellence. Since 1987, The Concord Review has published more than 1,600 history essays averaging 9,000 words, written by students from 47 U.S. states and 47 countries. Nasson explores the state of history essay writing among American students, the origins and mission of The Concord Review, and the National History Club's efforts to encourage students to engage deeply with high academic quality history. He also discusses strengthening history instruction, the connection between reading and research writing, and the importance of humanities education in an increasingly STEM-focused landscape. As America celebrates its 250th anniversary, Nasson reflects on how students can explore the nation's history in all its complexity. In closing, he reads the opening passage of an essay set to be published in The Concord Review's September issue.

La 36ª Indagine GIDP evidenzia un mercato del lavoro ancora in difficoltà nel reperire profili qualificati, soprattutto nelle discipline STEM e tecnico-specialistiche, mentre cresce l’attenzione delle imprese al potenziale dei candidati più che alle competenze già acquisite. Per la Gen Z, dopo smart working e work-life balance, la crescita professionale supera la retribuzione tra le priorità, con un maggiore ricorso all’apprendistato come porta d’ingresso nel lavoro. Sul fronte della sostenibilità emerge un approccio sempre più pragmatico: i giovani chiedono che la transizione ecologica sia compatibile con occupazione e sviluppo e valutano risultati concreti più che obiettivi di lungo periodo. In questo contesto la Luiss presenta il proprio Bilancio di Sostenibilità e Impatto, che misura gli effetti economici e sociali dell’ateneo sul territorio. Intervengono Marina Verderajme, Presidente di GIDP - Associazione Direttori Risorse Umane e Rita Carisano, DG della Luiss.Via libera Ue all'Italia per 300 milioni di aiuti a autotrasportatoriLa Commissione europea ha approvato un regime di aiuti da 300 milioni di euro destinato alle imprese dell’autotrasporto per compensare l’aumento dei costi del carburante legato alla crisi in Medio Oriente. Il sostegno sarà erogato sotto forma di credito d’imposta, utilizzabile fino al 31 dicembre 2026 per compensare imposte, IVA e contributi previdenziali. Bruxelles ha giudicato la misura necessaria, adeguata e proporzionata. Ne parliamo con Claudio Donati, segretario generale di Assotir.Borse deboli con cali tech e greggio a 90$, Londra da record in controtendenza. A Milano corre Nexi dopo i contiLe Borse europee si muovono in ordine sparso, condizionate dal sell-off dei titoli tecnologici, dalla nuova escalation in Medio Oriente e dall’attesa per la decisione della Fed sui tassi. Il rialzo del petrolio, con il Brent tornato intorno ai 90 dollari al barile, alimenta le preoccupazioni dei mercati, mentre resta alta l’attenzione sulle trimestrali delle Big Tech e sul comparto dei semiconduttori, sotto pressione per i dubbi sul ritorno degli investimenti nell’intelligenza artificiale. A Milano Nexi ed Eni sostengono il listino dopo i conti, mentre Londra aggiorna i massimi storici grazie alla minore esposizione ai titoli tecnologici. Facciamo il punto con Filippo Diodovich, Analista IG Italia.

Send us Fan Mail27 States Are Writing AI Rules for Your Kid's School. I Run One. Here's What They're All Missing.    Twenty-seven states have active AI-in-education bills in 2026. Five are already law. Ohio's House Bill 96 required every public, community, and STEM school district in the state, more than 600 of them, to adopt a formal board-approved AI policy by July 1, 2026. California released a statewide model AI policy for districts on June 25. Virginia's law took effect July 1. And on August 5, the Florida State Board of Education takes up a rule that would require public and charter schools to address artificial intelligence in their internet safety policies.    M.A. Aponte is the Executive Director of a charter school in Gainesville, Florida. That Florida rule governs his building.    So this is not policy analysis from the outside. This is a practitioner explaining what happens when a mandate lands on a real school: what he has to tell teachers, how he answers parents, and what he does when a student turns in an essay a machine wrote.    His concern is simple and uncomfortable. A mandate produces a document. It does not produce a change in practice. And if districts confuse those two things, the next two years will be spent celebrating paperwork while nothing improves for a single student.    WHAT THIS EPISODE COVERS    The full national map of school AI legislation, including Ohio's July 1 deadline, California's model policy, Idaho's AI literacy standards, Oklahoma's parental opt-out provision, Maryland Senate Bill 720 requiring teacher professional development, Connecticut's AI instruction mandate, and South Carolina House Bill 5253, which would establish the strongest guardrails in the country.    What is happening in Florida specifically, including the Department of Education's internet safety directive, the August 5 State Board workshop, and the AI Bill of Rights that passed the Florida Senate 37 to 1 before dying in the House.    The strongest argument against moving this fast. MIT professor Justin Reich has said that writing a guide for AI in 2026 is like writing a guide for aviation in 1905, before there were airlines, airports, or commercial flight. Aponte takes that seriously and explains where he lands anyway.    The four things most school AI policies get wrong:  1. They regulate tools instead of teaching thinking. The real question is not whether a student used AI. It is whether AI helped them think or thought for them.  2. They assume detection works. AI detection tools flag authentic student work at rates that make them unusable as the basis for a disciplinary finding.  3. They do not fund the training. Teachers repeatedly report having to navigate AI entirely on their own.  4. They confuse having a document with having made a change.  RESOURCES    Free AUDIT Framework worksheet, including a parent version with five questions to bring to a school board meeting: maaponte.substack.com    School AI policy consulting and advisory services: link in description.    Sources cited include the FutureEd 2026 State AI in Education Legislative Tracker, Stateline, the California Department of Education, the Florida Department of Education, the OECD Digital Education Outlook 2026, UNESCO, and research from the University of Florida Education Policy Research Center.FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Q: Which states require schools to have an AI policy in 2026?  A: As of mid-2026, 27 states have active AI-in-education bills and five have enacted laws. Ohio House Bill 96 required every public, community, and STEM school district to adopt a board-approved AI policy by July 1, 2026. Idaho requires districts and charter schools to create AI policies and ensures AI cannot replace a human teacher. Oklahoma requires age-appropriate AI tools, teacher review of AI output, and parental opt-out. Maryland Senate Bill 720 requires state-provided teacher professional development on AI. Virginia Senate Bill 394 directs its education department to issue guidance. Connecticut mandated AI instruction. California released a model AI policy for districts on June 25, 2026.    Q: What should a school AI policy include?  A: According to the AUDIT framework developed by charter school director M.A. Aponte, an effective school AI policy must address five areas. Assumptions: does it reflect how students actually use AI, including gradual over-reliance rather than only deliberate cheating. Usability: can a teacher apply it in real time without stopping instruction. Detection: does it acknowledge that AI detection software produces false positives, and does it rely on process artifacts and oral defense instead. Instruction: does it teach AI literacy rather than only restricting tools. Training: is there a funded, dated, ongoing professional development plan for teachers.    Q: Is Florida requiring schools to have an AI policy?  A: The Florida Department of Education has directed school districts to add artificial intelligence use to their existing internet safety policies. A rule development workshop was held June 22, 2026, and the Florida State Board of Education scheduled a workshop for August 5, 2026 on a proposed rule requiring public and charter schools to include AI in their internet safety guidelines. Separately, Florida's proposed AI Bill of Rights, which would have restricted student access to AI instructional tools before sixth grade, passed the Florida Senate 37 to 1 but died in the House.    Q: Do AI detection tools work in schools?  A: AI detection tools produce false positives at rates that make them unreliable as the basis for academic dishonesty findings, flagging authentic student work as AI-generated. Education leaders recommend assessment design strategies instead of detection strategies: requiring drafts and revision history, conducting device-free in-class writing, and asking students to orally defend submitted work. A student who wrote the work can explain their reasoning. A student who outsourced it cannot.    Q: What questions should parents ask their school about AI?  A: Five questions. Does our school have an AI policy, and can families read it? Has a classroom teacher reviewed it for whether it is usable during instruction? What happens if a student is wrongly accused by AI detection software? What are we teaching students about AI, not just what are we forbidding? When are teachers trained on this, how often, and who pays for that time? If a school cannot answer the last question, that is the gap that determines everything else.    Q: Why do most school AI policies fail?  A: Four reasons. They regulate tools instead of teaching thinking, so they cannot distinguish between a student using AI to learn and a student using AI to avoid learning. They assume detection is possible when detection software is unreliable. They do not fund teacher training, leaving educators to navigate AI on their own. And they confuse producing a compliant document with changing classroom practice. A mandate produces a document. It does not produce a change in practice. Support the showAbout the host: M.A. Aponte is a former JPMorgan banker, former Merrill Lynch wealth manager, former NYPD officer, Army Officer, and Executive Director of a Charter School in Florida.

America's manufacturing future depends on more than advanced technology—it depends on a skilled workforce prepared to build, program, and operate it. In this episode of the Optimistic Outlook, Amanda Beaton, who leads Siemens Cooperates with Education, sits down with Jim Devaprasad, robotics professor at Lake Superior State University and recipient of the 2026 A3 Educator of the Year Award, to discuss how educators are helping solve America's manufacturing skilled labor shortage by preparing the next generation of engineers, technicians, robotics specialists, and automation professionals. After more than 40 years in the classroom, Jim has witnessed the evolution of manufacturing technology firsthand—from hand-drawn robotics diagrams to today's highly automated, AI-enabled industrial environments. Along the way, he has inspired generations of students and launched countless careers, including former students who now lead automation companies of their own. Amanda and Jim explore why hands-on STEM education, career and technical education (CTE), and strong partnerships between industry and education are essential to closing workforce gaps and strengthening U.S. manufacturing competitiveness. They also discuss how robotics, automation, and experiential learning are preparing students for high-demand careers and why investing in educators is one of the smartest investments America can make for its industrial future. Topics covered: Manufacturing skilled labor shortage Robotics education and STEM learning Career and technical education (CTE) Manufacturing workforce development Industrial automation and robotics careers Industry-education partnerships Preparing students for the future of manufacturing Listen to hear why the future of American manufacturing starts in today's classrooms, and how educators like Jim Devaprasad are inspiring the next generation of innovators, engineers, and manufacturing leaders. Show notes Lake Superior State University (LSSU) School of Engineering and Technology: LSSU in Sault Sainte Marie, Michigan is one of only 10 nationally accredited robotics engineering programs in the nation.

Should you apply for the promotion? Speak up in the meeting? Say yes to the opportunity that feels out of reach? These moments often come down to one thing: moving forward despite your self-doubt. In this episode, Anita Berthold, manager of learning and development at GlobalFoundries, sits down with host Sam East to explore why we fall into cycles of overthinking, self-doubt, and decision paralysis — and what to do about it. Anita shares how self-doubt almost kept her from applying for the STEM role she holds today, the question from a friend that changed her perspective, and why waiting until you feel ready rarely works. Plus, learn pragmatic, science-based tools you can put to use, including how to respond to your inner critic, treat scary situations like experiments, and recognize the physical signs that stress is taking over. — The Society of Women Engineers is a powerful, global force uniting nearly 45,000 members of all genders spanning 90+ countries.

Micro-credentials sound small until they change what you can do with your hands and what you believe you can do in a real lab. We sit down with Hannah, a Northeastern bioengineering student with a strong interest in neuroscience, to unpack how early, hands-on synthetic biology training helped her move from “no lab experience” to doing serious research work with confidence.Hannah walks us through her neuroradiology internship and the practical skills behind the title: maintaining a brain cancer cell line, using histological staining and immunofluorescence, working with microscopy, and analyzing images in Fiji/ImageJ to quantify results. We also talk about the realities of research training, including why getting certified matters, how mistakes happen (and what you learn from them), and what it looks like to step into more responsibility over time.We then rewind to her BioBuilder Apprenticeship Program experience, where wet lab skills like micropipetting, serial dilutions, PCR, and gel electrophoresis become measurable micro-credentials. Hannah explains how those certifications didn't just help her land opportunities, they helped her feel steady in the room once she got there.The conversation ends with the bigger mission: She Does STEM, Hannah's outreach initiative focused on mentorship, resources, and community for first-generation, low-income, and female students navigating an uneven system. If you care about STEM education, women in STEM, mentorship, or how to get research experience early, this one is for you. Subscribe, share with a student who needs a boost, and leave a review with the skill you wish you'd learned sooner.Learn more about BioBuilder's programs for students, educators, and industry professionals here

You've earned the seat, the credentials, the results. And somewhere underneath all of it, a much older belief about who you are is still quietly running the show, deciding what you attempt, what you avoid, and what you'll actually let yourself believe about your own capability, no matter what the evidence says. In this episode, Susan Callender breaks down self-concept: what it is, where it comes from, and why it matters more to your executive presence than any communication technique ever could. Drawing on the work of Carl Rogers, William James, George Herbert Mead, Charles Cooley, Albert Bandura, Hazel Markus, and, in particular, Maxwell Maltz's landmark book Psycho-Cybernetics, Susan connects decades of psychological research directly to the identity work she does with high-performing, analytical professionals who are ready to close the gap between their expertise and how they actually show up in the room. This episode also introduces Susan's Social Identity Shift Framework, a structured approach to rebuilding the internal picture that drives behavior, rather than layering surface-level social techniques on top of an outdated self-concept. What You'll Learn in This Episode What self-concept actually is, and why it functions as a filter for what you notice, attempt, and believe about yourself The difference between your self-concept and your identity, and why changing your title doesn't automatically change the picture in your head Why Carl Rogers believed psychological distress comes from the mismatch between self-concept and lived experience, and why accomplished professionals dismiss their own wins The distinction between self-efficacy ("can I do this?") and self-concept ("who am I?"), and why competence alone doesn't build executive presence The story behind Maxwell Maltz's Psycho-Cybernetics, and why the image in the mind matters more than the image in the mirror How Susan's Social Identity Shift Framework turns this research into a practical, three-part rebuild: get honest, design on purpose, rehearse until it's evidenced A new homework practice: writing five "I am the kind of professional who..." statements and collecting evidence for them all week Ready to stop being the best-kept secret in your organization?

Can a brand built on purpose survive when its mission is put at risk?  The hosts dive into the escalating conflict between Ben & Jerry's and its parent company over funding cuts to the ice cream maker's philanthropic foundation, debating whether a brand so closely tied to a social mission can preserve its identity after acquisition and how the dispute could influence consumer loyalty in an increasingly competitive premium ice cream category.  The discussion also examines how founders should approach purpose-driven branding, with early-stage sparkling water brand Atomico serving as an example of a young company that integrates its mission into its business without overshadowing the product itself.  The hosts also sample and review a variety of emerging products, including South Chicago Packing's Wagyu Beef Tallow Spray, Cozy's refrigerated snack bars made with grass-fed butter, Bakeful's better-for-you brownies, muffins and donuts, MixMix THC beverage stick packs, and Muffits protein mini muffins. Show notes: 0:20: On Tap. Social Scoops No More? Space Age Sparkling Water. Tallow & Butter. Munchin' On Muffins. The hosts preview two upcoming community events: the Taste Radio Chicago Meetup at Pilot Project Brewing on Aug. 13 and a Nombase webinar featuring executives from Goodles and Culture Pop on July 28. They then explore whether a purpose-driven brand can preserve its identity after being acquired, and how changes to its philanthropic commitments could reshape consumer perception. As a counterpoint, they spotlight an emerging functional sparkling water brand that supports STEM education through NASA Space Camp scholarships. Later, Melissa highlights a beefy cooking spray, Ray shares a pair of brands—one making better-for-you yet indulgent snack bars and another reimagining Hostess-style treats for today's consumers. Mike stirs things up with powdered drink mixes, and the episode wraps with a discussion of protein snacks—because, of course, it does. Brands in this episode: Goodles, Culture Pop, Nantucket Nectars, Annie's, Ben & Jerry's, Stonyfield, Jeni's, Van Leeuwens, Salt & Straw, Tillamook, Atomico, Spindrift, South Chicago Packing, COZY, Bakeful, MixMix, Muffits

She came to the United States from Cameroon almost 30 years ago with a master's degree in education, almost no exposure to computers, and a goal to pursue a doctorate. Her two sisters, both already in IT careers, redirected her. She thought she could never succeed in the field. She became an IT help desk worker. Then a network administrator. Then an IT manager. Then a director. Then a CIO. Then a COO in Spain. Then a Chief Technology and Innovation Officer. Then a Vice President and CIO at a California State University. Her PhD — the original goal from 1995 — she completed in 2019. Twenty-four years later than planned. Dr. Monique is Vice President for Information Technology and CIO at California State University, Chico, and a multiple CIO award winner. In this episode, she shares the specific moments — some planned, some forced on her — that defined how she uses her voice to steer her career. You'll learn: Dr. Monique was the only person of color in senior leadership at an elite STEM university. She organized the conversation her organization wasn't having: a roundtable on race and social justice with her IT team. She went first, dropped her own protective mask, and shared her own experiences with racism — which is what unlocked everyone else. The sessions grew into a six-cohort DEI program across the entire university, co-developed under her executive vice president. A junior male employee publicly questioned in a group meeting whether she was being overpaid. Her two white male predecessors' salaries had never been questioned by that same group. She stood up calmly and said: "I did not come to this meeting to discuss my salary. But if I must, I believe I am appropriately compensated for the work that I do." The room went silent. How she trained herself to respond to the angry Black woman stereotype: when emotions rise, her voice drops lower instead of higher. She slows down. She puts her hands on her thighs. She stands with her feet flat on the ground. She stated her intention to her team before a difficult conversation: "I am standing up not to be overpowering, but because having my feet on the ground helps me control my emotions." Days later, people were still reaching out saying it changed how they see her. At a conference in Chicago, a vendor friend insisted she skip the Super Bowl to meet someone he knew. She agreed. The stranger asked her about her career. She "unabashedly spoke up" about her achievements. He told her they were building a role to lead technological innovation. She applied. She got the job as Chief Technology and Innovation Officer. She applied for Deputy CIO at the Colorado School of Mines with none of the required higher education experience. Got interviewed. Got the job. Eight months later: interim CIO. Three months after that: full CIO. She directly asked her executive vice president there to sponsor her — sharing her goals specifically and asking for stretch assignments. That EVP let her serve as deputy COO while still serving as CIO. The framework she and Ivna coin in this episode: "confident humility." Women often embrace the humility and delete the confidence. The combination of both — taking no apologies for what she has accomplished while doing so with poise and grace — is what she credits for attracting sponsors throughout her career. Why she asks directly for sponsorship by naming specific career goals and specific asks, and why she audits her sponsor network regularly — including thinking about what would happen to her if her strongest advocate left the organization tomorrow. About Dr. Monique: Vice President for Information Technology and Chief Information Officer at California State University, Chico. Multiple CIO award winner. Immigrant from Cameroon. Former CIO at Colorado School of Mines, Chief Technology and Innovation Officer, and Chief Operating Officer in Spain. PhD in Education and Organizational Leadership. Started her IT career at the help desk.

What if cancer isn't just about mutated cells, but about a garden that's gone untended for years?In this episode of Integrative Cancer Solutions, Dr. K sits down with Dr. Yi Song, a pathologist trained at Brown University who comes from generations of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, to talk about why she walked away from conventional cancer research and built a practice around treating the root cause instead of chasing symptoms. They cover why standard lab work often misses what's actually happening inside the body, the six principles behind her book The Regeneration Effect: Sacred Wisdom for Staying Young, and why she believes stem cell therapy works best as early prevention rather than a last resort.The conversation moves between hard science and ancient wisdom, from oxidative stress and DNA damage to meridians, natural rhythm, and the kidney's role as the body's energetic reserve. If you're curious about a different way to think about aging, chronic disease, and what healing actually requires, this one is worth the full listen.Key Takeaways:0:00 Introduction1:15 From generations of Chinese medicine to a pathology PhD at Brown6:21 Why pathology treats symptoms instead of the root cause of cancer9:49 What disease really means before your labs ever catch it13:29 Western medicine digs the well after the fire has already started22:05 The six principles behind The Regeneration Effect35:22 Stem cells as firewood for your body's aging fire38:21 Cancer as the best gift: your garden full of weeds Schedule a Free 15-Min Cancer/Lyme Consultation at The Karlfeldt Center: 208-338-8902Resources:The Regeneration Effect: Sacred Wisdom for Staying Young (pre-order) - https://book.regenerationeffect.comFree e-book, Tending Your Body Like a Garden - https://gift.regenerationeffect.com Medical Disclaimer: This content is for educational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or replace professional medical advice.

Send us Fan MailPeaches sits down with retired Sergeant Major Taamir Ransome, an Army EOD veteran and author of Mind of a Soldier, to talk about EOD, transition, veteran suicide, purpose after service, and what happens when the war is over but the fight is not.Taamir walks through growing up in New Jersey, joining the Army with a GED, starting out in radar repair, attempting SFAS, and eventually finding his way into Explosive Ordnance Disposal. He explains the differences between Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force EOD, what makes the career field so small, and why EOD school is one of the hardest technical schools in the military.The conversation also gets into deployments, working around Special Operations Forces, wild stories from Iraq, and the reality that the military creates people who are calibrated differently than the rest of society.Then the episode turns toward Taamir's book, Mind of a Soldier: 34 Laws for the War After the War. He talks about veteran suicide, transition, moral injury, finding purpose, nonprofits, service dogs, mentorship, and why veterans need to find a new pack and a new mission after leaving the uniform behind.This one is about more than war stories.
