50 years ago today - in 1975 - 90% of women in Iceland took part in a nationwide protest over inequality. Instead of going to the office, doing housework or childcare, 25,000 women took to the streets, forcing factories and banks to close. It was known as the 'Women's Day Off' and fifty years on, Iceland still leads the world in gender parity, topping the Global Gender Gap Report for the 16th straight year. Anita Rani is joined by Tatjana Latinović, President of Icelandic Women's Rights Association and on the organising committee of today's strike, and Kristín Ástgeirsdottir, former Women's Alliance MP and former director of the Icelandic Centre for Gender Equality. Tiggy Walker was married to the legendary BBC broadcaster Johnnie Walker, for 23 years before his death last year. Johnnie presented his 'Sounds of the 70s' show on Radio 2 right up until two months before he died. Tiggy was his full-time carer and joins Anita to talk about the emotional toll of caring for her soulmate Johnnie after his terminal diagnosis, as described in her new book, Both Sides Now.Former NASA astronaut Anna Fisher talks about becoming the world's first ‘mom in space'. In 1978 Anna, an American emergency doctor, was accepted by NASA onto their astronaut programme, during the space agency's largest and most diverse recruitment drive. In 1984, Anna took off on the Space Shuttle Discovery, leaving behind her 14-month-old daughter. Anna joins Anita to talk about how that decision triggered intense media scrutiny and looks back on her trailblazing career, as featured in a new BBC 2 documentary, ‘Once Upon a Time in Space.'Stephanie Travers is a trailblazer with an impressive list of firsts during her career. She became the first black female trackside fluid engineer in Formula 1 after beating 7,000 other applicants. She is also the first black woman to stand on an F1 podium after being personally invited by the team to collect the Constructor's Trophy at the 2020 Styrian Grand Prix. Today, she's moved into a new role as Senior Impact Manager at Mission 44, Sir Lewis Hamilton's foundation which is focused on diversity and inclusion. Stephanie joins Anita to discuss diversifying motorsports and making STEM and motorsport careers more accessible to young people from underrepresented backgrounds.Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Rebecca Myatt

A "No Kings" protester is either paid or disconnected from reality in this country.As millions nationwide protested peacefully during the anti-Trump "No Kings" protests on Saturday, several now-viral social media clips have overshadowed the day's events. In Chicago, a woman whom social media users identified as a K-8 STEM teacher with the Chicago Public School system at Nathan Hale Elementary School in the city, was captured on video apparently mocking Charlie Kirk's assassination. The woman, wearing a gray shirt and holding a Mexican flag, can be seen standing in front of a line of protesters, yelling at a truck as it passed by. As the occupants of the truck displayed a pro-Kirk sign, the woman put her pointer and middle finger to her neck, pretending to pull a trigger and yelling, "Bang, bang."

He holds a PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience from Leiden University and Stanford, and speaks regularly at events like TEDx, VC Firms, and the Institute for Human Machine Cognition.Think of your body's repair crew as always on call, rarely on stage. Stem cells sit quietly in protective niches until growth factors wake them, chemokines guide them to damaged tissue, and local signals shape them into exactly what's needed. We invited Dr. Dan Pardi, Chief Health Officer at Qualia Life Sciences, to break down that invisible choreography—why it weakens with age and how to support it without pushing the system into overdrive.We start by making stem cells simple: potency tiers, key types like hematopoietic and mesenchymal, and what “exhaustion” really means. Dan explains how inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and epigenetic drift—core hallmarks of aging—distort the niche and blunt self-renewal. From there, we map the full life cycle: quiescence, activation, mobilization, migration, and differentiation guided by ancient pathways like Wnt, Notch, and Sonic Hedgehog. Understanding this sequence clarifies the therapy landscape, from evidence-backed marrow transplants to targeted orthopedic injections, and why unproven IV offerings can be risky.If you care about healthy aging, joint health, recovery, and evidence-based wellness, this conversation offers a grounded roadmap. We keep the science clear, the hype in check, and the focus on balance—protect, pulse, and let biology do its best work.

Scripture: Luke 17:11-17  11 Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee. 12 As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy[a] met him. They stood at a distance 13 and called out in a loud voice, “Jesus, Master, have pity on us!” 14 When he saw them, he said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went, they were cleansed. 15 One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. 16 He threw himself at Jesus' feet and thanked him—and he was a Samaritan. 17 Jesus asked, “Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine?

This breakthrough could revolutionize medicine by creating virus proof cell therapies and potentially extending this protection to human cells. Also demonstrating that we can fundamentally rewrite the language of life itself, something that was previously thought impossible. George Church is a Harvard Medical School genetics professor and pioneer of synthetic biology. He's an entrepreneur who's found in multiple biotech companies and is known for pushing the boundaries between science fiction and reality. His team just did something that sounds like pure science fiction. They made living cells completely immune to every virus on Earth. That resistant immune, every single virus that tries to infect your cells just fails. The viruses can't evolve around it. Here's the wild part. They didn't add anything new. They just removed a few letter from the genetic alphabet. But George isn't stopping there. He wants to do this to human cells. He's talking about engineering astronauts for Mars missions, bringing back wooly mammoths, and maybe even, just maybe, making humans virus proof to the implications are staggering. The ethics are murky. And the timeline. Well, if church's track record tells us anything is happening far faster than we think.

Women scientists and inventors have been making ground-breaking discoveries since Agnodice pretended to be a man in order to become the first female anatomist in ancient Greece. Yet, women's scientific contributions have historically been hidden in the footnotes of the work men claimed as their own. Women scientists are banding together to call out bias and give credit where it’s due— one Wikipedia page at a time. This hour, we talk to four of them.

Transforming Ordinary Customer Moments into the 'Best Day Ever'  Shep interviews Steve Spangler, Emmy award-winning television host, STEM educator, and bestselling author. He talks about his new book, The Engagement Effect, and how leaders, teachers, and businesses can create powerful, engaging experiences that ignite emotional connections, build trust, and inspire action.  This episode of Amazing Business Radio with Shep Hyken answers the following questions and more:    How can leaders create more engaging experiences for their customers and employees?  How can emotional and intellectual connections drive stronger customer loyalty?  Why is it important for businesses to treat engagement as an experiment rather than a fixed process?  How can leaders and managers inspire employees to deliver exceptional customer service?  How can companies operationalize the "best day ever" experience for both customers and team members?  Top Takeaways:    Engagement is about creating experiences, not transactions. Create an experience that connects emotionally and intellectually with your customers by making them feel involved and valued.   Treat engagement as an experiment. Try new things, see what works, and don't be afraid to fail or make changes. When leaders create a culture where it's okay to try and sometimes fail, employees feel more comfortable contributing and taking risks.   The way you treat your employees and customers shapes their experiences and loyalty. Positive experiences lead to better engagement, while negative ones can create lasting disengagement.  It's not enough to have a great product. What elevates your brand is how you present it. What creates a loyal following is getting people excited, curious, and the desire to be involved.  Allow your customers to help craft their experience. Sometimes, your customers will create powerful moments themselves, and your job is to set the stage and then step back. Invite feedback and participation. Pay attention to what they find most meaningful and operationalize it so that it becomes a part of the typical experience.  Approach leadership with a teacher's mindset. The best leaders don't just tell people what to do. They inspire, guide, and help others discover answers for themselves.  Plus, hear how Steve's viral Mentos-and-Diet-Coke experiments, Chewy.com's famous pet owner story, and more real-world examples bring the engagement effect to life. Tune in!  Quote:   "The engagement effect is when you emotionally and intellectually connect to an experience, and it makes the customer move forward with an action."    About:    Steve Spangler is an Emmy award-winning TV host, STEM educator, and bestselling author.

Katie Friday is a sales engineer who took the scenic route into manufacturing. She started in social work, battled through an engineering pivot at WVU, worked her way from project engineering to sales, and now lives at the intersection of customers, controls, and culture. We talk about resilient learning, why great SOPs read like fifth grade science, the reality of safety projects, and how leadership sets the tone for teams. There is a rom-com opening scene, a baby blue Beetle, and a giant robot in Wilmington. Most of all, there is a clear picture of how supportive culture turns new hires into future leaders.Why this conversation mattersCulture is a team sport and leadership is the lever. Katie shows how cross-functional respect between engineering, maintenance, and operations speeds projects up, how good documentation creates confidence on the floor, and why automation does not erase jobs. It raises the skill ceiling and demands better training.Conversation highlightsMeeting story at IMTS and a friendship that started in an elevator.Katie's rom-com life pitch featuring a 2013 baby blue Beetle and a bee.Switching from social work to industrial engineering and learning resilience the hard way.From receptionist to project engineer to sales engineer and why talking to customers clicked.The coolest project sighting, a towering broadcast robot and the crews that build stages for NASCAR, ESPN, and even the Super Bowl.Safety projects move first and fast, and the scheduling whiplash that brings.SOPs that actually teach, pictures over jargon, and testing docs with non engineers.Women navigating a male heavy field, boundaries, and a shoutout to mentor Kimberly Pelke.Why new adopters of automation are the next wave and how AI will show up on the plant floor.Topics coveredCompany culture as daily behavior, not a poster on the wall.Leadership modeling communication and teamwork.Sales engineering as translator between customers and controls teams.Budget timing, stakeholders, and the real blockers to moving from design to execution.Operator training that matches the tech.Automation as job shifter and skill builder, not a job eraser.Women in STEM, representation that changes decisions, and early pipeline programs.Quotes“I do not mind being the dumbest in the room. It just means I am learning.”“Good culture feels like a team that actually communicates and still pulls toward the same goal.”“Automation does not eliminate people.

Don't miss it — we won't!   Faisal Mirza is the Associate Vice President of the New York Hall of Science. With a career spanning iconic New York institutions—including the American Museum of Natural History, the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum, the Empire State Building, One World Observatory, and even LaGuardia's Terminal B—he has led opening teams, built high-performance operations, and shaped guest experience at scale. At NYSCI, he champions “design, make, and play” through hands-on exhibits rooted in STEM and community impact. In this interview, Faisal talks about the oohs and ahhs, cost-effective vs. better, It's okay to be nice. The oohs and aahs “I think a lot of us have come into this industry because of the oohs and aahs that we are part of… you get those oohs and aahs and you get the wows.” Faisal ties the magic of reveal moments to operational purpose. He recalls One World Observatory's deliberate build-up: from the storytelling elevator ride to a dramatic reveal that regularly prompted applause and even tears. He emphasizes that leaders should revisit these moments frequently—stepping out of the back office to reconnect decisions and data with the guest's emotional response. At NYSCI, that same spark is cultivated by translating concepts into creation. Visitors learn about light, space, or insects, then head into the Design Lab to “use your hands,” turning ideas into tangible projects. That cycle—from discovery to making—keeps guests coming back for the “wow” and reminds teams why meticulous execution matters. Cost-effective vs. better “Should we look into being very cost-effective or being better? There's always balance… it goes back to what the organization is really looking for and how, as a leader, you can justify that process.” When choosing between a sign and a person, Faisal argues that “profitable” and “memorable” aren't always the same. At Terminal B, his team justified human touchpoints (e.g., pre- and post-TSA guidance) by instrumenting the experience with data: NPS, robust passenger surveys at the gate, mystery shops, and large-scale trainings. With measurable outcomes, “better” isn't a vague ideal—it's a defensible investment. He frames the decision as a strategic reflection of organizational DNA. In hyper-competitive markets, small touches compound: clear sightlines, open space, visible staff, and right-sized wayfinding all convert friction into confidence. The lesson for attractions is to define the guest standard, then measure relentlessly so quality choices stand up to budget scrutiny. It's okay to be nice “When you, as part of that team, see, ‘It's okay to be nice. I didn't know that.' When you see others doing it and you're in that universe of everyone being nice, it's really great.” Faisal describes how staffing critical junctions, like the “recomposition” area right after TSA, signals a cultural norm: proactive help is expected. In fast-paced New York, hospitality can still thrive when leaders model it and operationalize it. By placing people where guests naturally feel uncertain, teams normalize courtesy, reduce stress, and elevate the entire journey. That mindset carries into museums and attractions. From shinier floors to warmer smiles, “little things” matter as much as headliners. Faisal's leadership lens blends big-picture reveals with micro-gestures that make visitors feel cared for, proving that kindness is both practical and powerful.   Faisal would like to thank everyone he's worked with over the years, because he's learned something from everyone at the different organizations he's been at.

If learning and testing weren't already challenging enough in and of themselves, success can often depend on the level of congruence between students and teachers. For example, is gender an influential factor in academic success? Amy and Mike invited educator Megan Fitzwater to explore how female students benefit from female educators. What are five things you will learn in this episode? What are the key differences in how girls learn when they work with female mentors? What factors likely contribute to girls feeling like bad test takers? What role do standardized tests play in shaping girls' future opportunities in STEM or other fields? What should educators who want to better support girls in STEM and test prep keep in mind? What kind of female student most benefits from working with female educators?  MEET OUR GUEST Megan Fitzwater is the founder of All Girls' Prep, a women-led tutoring company dedicated to empowering young women in test preparation and STEM. A graduate of an all-girls high school, she experienced firsthand the confidence and community that thrive in a female-focused environment. It was there that a dedicated physics teacher recognized her talent and encouraged her to pursue the subject, inspiring her to enter the University of Colorado Boulder as a declared astrophysics major. Transitioning from that supportive, all-girls landscape into the male-dominated world of astrophysics, Megan became one of only a few women in her program. She conducted observational research and excelled academically, yet still grappled with imposter syndrome and quietly questioned whether she belonged. Everything changed when she encountered her first (and only) female physics professor in college. For the first time, she saw herself reflected in someone leading the field she aspired to join, and the impact was profound. The shift gave her a deeper confidence in herself and her abilities, one that shaped the course of her career. Since then, Megan has dedicated her work to creating the kinds of academic environments where girls can see themselves, take risks, and reach their potential. She has developed innovative SAT and ACT curricula, led courses designed to break down barriers in physics and calculus, and built a team of accomplished female tutors, from engineers to film directors, who serve as mentors as much as educators. Through All Girls' Prep, she is committed to ensuring that young women have not only the skills to succeed but also the representation and mentorship to envision themselves in any field they choose.

In “[M]y ‘case' to work up': William Carlos Williams's Paterson” (William Carlos Williams Review, Volume 41, Number 2, 2024), Walter Scott Peterson argues that as a physician-poet Dr. Williams approaches his poetic material very much as he approaches his patients, and that the form of Paterson in particular is intentionally and actually reminiscent of the various forms taken by the medical case narrative, or “work-up.” This episode concerns the poet and physician William Carlos Williams, whose mother, Raquel Hélène Rose Hoheb Williams, was born and raised in Mayagüez, Puerto Rico. This conversation is part of the STEM to STEAM initiative, sponsored by the Teagle Foundation, that links medicine, science, technology and engineering to the sensibilities honed in the humanities—rethinking ways to blend and combine studies in literature, poetry, history, philosophy, and the arts as more central dimensions of technical preparation. The discussion explores the profound connection between medical humanities and poetry, highlighting how their combination enriches our understanding of patient care, fosters empathy, and humanizes the medical experience. Medical humanities is an interdisciplinary field combining arts, literature, philosophy and cultural approaches to the human condition—considering each of these as insights into the emotional and ethical dimensions of healthcare. Poetry can serve as a powerful tool for expressing the complex feelings and narratives that often go unspoken in clinical settings. Blending poetry and the science of healthcare reminds us that medicine is not just a science but also an art, emphasizing compassion, understanding, and the shared human experience at the heart of healing.

The Stem of Jessie and the Rod and the Messiah Ben Joseph prophecy

Mike Palmer welcomes back Friend of the Show, AJ Gutierrez, the pioneering co-founder of Saga Education, now CEO of Equal Opportunity Schools (EOS). AJ shares his transition from direct service to a focus on systemic change, detailing the crucial, often overlooked, mission of EOS: identifying and accelerating equitable opportunity for high-potential students. Historically, education equity conversations focus on raising students to grade level; EOS tackles the issue of "stranded brilliance" by finding students—disproportionately Black and Brown students experiencing poverty—who are ready for advanced coursework but are being overlooked. AJ cites compelling research from Mathematica demonstrating that students placed in AP classes through the EOS process perform just as well as control groups, confirming they were ready all along. The conversation pivots to the broader K-12 landscape, touching on threats to federal data infrastructure (e.g., IES, NSF funding) and the role of AI. AJ stresses that while technology is a powerful tool for decision support, summarization, and translation (like with IEPs), it's not a silver bullet. He outlines his vision for the "next derivative" of EOS—leveraging their extensive student and teacher survey data (300,000 students surveyed annually) to act as a crucial data backbone for districts. This involves connecting district leaders with high-leverage information to evaluate the return on investment across specific initiatives (e.g., STEM, absenteeism) and empowering families with simple, accessible data to shape their children's educational trajectories. Key Takeaways: Addressing "Stranded Brilliance": Equal Opportunity Schools (EOS) focuses on finding and placing high-potential students who are overlooked into advanced coursework, a crucial and effective pathway for systemic equity. Data Backbone for Districts: The next phase of EOS involves using its large survey dataset to serve as a central source of strategic data for district leaders, connecting initiatives, vendors, and outcomes. AI as Decision Support: Generative AI's greatest educational utility lies in summarizing complex data and translating information (like IEPs) for better family accessibility, not in replacing human decision-making. The Power of Policy & Practice: True systems change requires demonstrating successful practice (like high-impact tutoring) to inspire policy shifts and empower districts to sustain effective models locally. Why You Should Listen: If you are concerned about educational equity, the integrity of educational data, or how district leaders can make smarter investment decisions with limited resources, this episode is a must-listen. AJ offers an optimistic and evidence-based perspective on how to leverage data to shake up the status quo, ensuring that every student who is ready for advanced opportunity gets the chance to pursue it.

Summary: In this episode, Dr. Michael Easley welcomes Dr. E. Calvin Beisner, founder of the Cornwall Alliance, for a conversation on creation care, energy, and biblical stewardship. Together, they challenge the myths of “green energy,” pointing out the hidden costs and environmental damage often overlooked with wind and solar power. Dr. Beisner explains how chemicals and medications enter the water supply and highlights the inconsistency of environmental movements that ignore certain pollutants while amplifying others. He critiques the flawed “linear no threshold” principle in toxicology, showing how it fails both scientifically and logically. The discussion also focuses on practical stewardship—recycling, waste management, and the need for engineering innovation. Dr. Beisner urges young Christians to pursue STEM fields as a way to serve God and address real-world challenges. From energy grid reliability to the promise of small nuclear plants, and even the looming threat of EMP attacks, the conversation underscores the need for wise, forward-thinking solutions. Ultimately, Dr. Easley and Dr. Beisner remind listeners that stewardship is not driven by fear or ideology. Instead, it flows from Scripture: caring for creation with wisdom, truth, and hope in Christ. Takeaways Stewardship requires wisdom rooted in Scripture, not fear-driven environmental ideology. “Green energy” promises often mask hidden costs that harm both creation and human flourishing. Christians must think critically about environmental claims instead of adopting cultural talking points. Innovation and engineering offer God-honoring solutions to waste, energy, and sustainability challenges. Dependence on unreliable energy sources leaves society vulnerable to crises with serious national security risks. True hope for creation care is found not in policy or technology, but in Christ and faithful stewardship. LINKS MENTIONED: The Cornwall Alliance  Climate and Energy: The Case For Realism by Dr. E.

Across the country, proficiency is sliding and absenteeism is climbing, yet there is a practical path that moves the needle. In this episode of Change Starts Here, host Dustin Odham makes a case for student ownership as the missing engine behind academic improvement, engagement, and long term readiness. Dustin connects national context to daily classroom reality, then shows what ownership actually looks like, students tracking goals, reflecting on data, leading discussions, and taking the mic in conferences with families. He explains why even small shifts can spark big belief, and why strategies do not stick without a culture that invites students to lead their own learning. If you are a district leader, principal, or teacher who wants higher engagement and better results, let your students run the classroom, and see how they take off.Host: Dustin OdhamTimestamps: (00:00 - 00:24) Open and setup.

Across the country, proficiency is sliding and absenteeism is climbing, yet there is a practical path that moves the needle. In this episode of Change Starts Here, host Dustin Odham makes a case for student ownership as the missing engine behind academic improvement, engagement, and long term readiness. Dustin connects national context to daily classroom reality, then shows what ownership actually looks like, students tracking goals, reflecting on data, leading discussions, and taking the mic in conferences with families. He explains why even small shifts can spark big belief, and why strategies do not stick without a culture that invites students to lead their own learning. If you are a district leader, principal, or teacher who wants higher engagement and better results, let your students run the classroom, and see how they take off.Host: Dustin OdhamTimestamps: (00:00 - 00:24) Open and setup.

Joseph Smith and his counselors were deep in debt, so they went searching for buried treasure in Salem, Massachusetts, leading to one of the most remarkable sections of the Doctrine and Covenants! Did God really approve of their "follies," and what did they find that was "more treasures than one"? SUMMARY: Join us as we explore D&C 111–114, covering a pivotal and often misunderstood moment in early Church history and the profound doctrinal answers God gave in response to conflict and confusion. D&C 111 | The Salem Trip: We analyze the search for wealth to settle Church debt, the warning against "get-rich-quick" schemes , and the Lord's promise to Joseph Smith: "I have much treasure in this city for you" , shifting the focus from temporal silver to the spiritual treasure of souls and ancestry. D&C 112 | The Quorum of the Twelve: The Lord speaks directly to Thomas B. Marsh, President of the Twelve, to address "some few things in thine heart". The revelation is a powerful call to humility, urging him to "Be not partial" and let his "love abound unto all men". This section also outlines the authority given to the Twelve to "unlock the door of the kingdom" in the Dispensation of the Fulness of Times. D&C 113 | Q&A on Isaiah: Joseph Smith seeks clarity on Isaiah 11. The Lord reveals that the "Stem of Jesse" is Christ , and the "Rod" that comes from it is a servant in the hands of Christ—identified as Joseph Smith. We also discuss what it means for Zion to "put on thy strength" (priesthood authority) and loose the "bands of her neck". D&C 114 | Taking the Opportunity: In a stark warning against apostasy , the Lord calls David W. Patten to "settle up all his business" for a mission. The revelation teaches a critical principle: if leaders deny the Lord, others "shall be planted in their stead and receive their bishopric". CALL-TO-ACTION: Which of these four sections spoke most powerfully to you? Was it the call to patience with debt, the need for humility in leadership, the promised keys for the gathering, or the warning to take the "lifetime of an opportunity"?

Federal worker layoffs are near, according to Trump administration officials. Earlier this week, the president said he would use the government shutdown to target "Democrat things." And a shutdown with layoffs may have more serious economic consequences than your average shutdown. For more on that we turn to Diane Swonk, chief economist at KPMG. Also on today's show: China launches a new visa to attract more international STEM talent.

Earlier this month, President Donald Trump announced a $100,000 fee on new H-1B visa petitioners. Today on the show, we talk to an economist about how much H-1B visa holders have contributed to US growth, their effects on American-born workers, and why the United States' competitors are taking advantage of this moment. Related episodes: How much international students matter to the economy The precarity of the H-1B work visa Could foreign workers unlock America's tight labor market? For sponsor-free episodes of The Indicator from Planet Money, subscribe to Planet Money+ via Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org.
