He is the founder and President of the Institute for Research on Unlimited Love, and the founding Director of the Center for Medical Humanities, Compassionate Care, and Bioethics at the Renaissance School of Medicine at Stony Brook University. His new book is, Pure Unlimited Love: Science and the Seven Paths to Inner Peace

My guest on the show today is Tuhin Chakrabarty, an assistant professor of computer science at Stony Brook University and the culprit behind my first ever trigger warning on eminent Americans.Here we go: if a big part of your identity is vested in being a writer, and you are already experiencing existential dread about the prospect of AI getting better than you at writing, you may want to not listen to this podcast, or at least you may need to take a Xanax or a gummy before listening. Because Tuhin's work, training AI to produce super high quality samples of high literary writing, is existentially threatening. It goes right at the heart of what we wordsmiths do. Just to give a sense, here's a passage from a New Yorker article by Vauhini Vara that explores what Tuhin has found:I asked Chakrabarty to run an informal version of his experiment on my writing, with a twist: I would pit his model directly against me. To start, he fine-tuned a model on my published writing, much as he'd done in the formal experiment. Then I sent him four short excerpts from a novel that I'm currently writing. No one else had read these excerpts; they had never been published or circulated. There was no way that a large language model could have seen them before.The narrator of my novel in progress is an Indian American ex-journalist. She runs a nonprofit that publishes stories from immigrant and refugee women, but it's strapped for funding, so she courts an Indian American venture capitalist as a potential donor. Chakrabarty used an L.L.M. to create content summaries of the excerpts I'd sent him. (One representative sentence, from a summary about the narrator's journaling habit, explains, “A pivotal memory is introduced: in ninth grade, the narrator's mother read this journal, an act seen as a profound betrayal.”) Finally, he gave the summaries to his fine-tuned model, and he asked it to compose passages “in the style of Vauhini Vara.”Going into all this, I was self-assured, even smug. I'd always felt that my style was original and, more important, that my books were totally distinct from one another. I figured that, even if the A.I. model could imitate my past books, it couldn't predict the style of the novel in progress. So, when Chakrabarty sent me the A.I.-generated imitations, I was genuinely confused. Like Díaz and Nunez, I found lots of stylistic details—rhythm, verbiage—annoying. But the text produced by the model was eerily close to mine. Reading some of its lines next to my own, I couldn't remember which was which. Unlike Díaz or Nunez, I even preferred some of the doppelgänger's versions. My style seemed to be more consistent across projects than I'd realized.I sent four passages to some readers who'd liked my previous books, explaining that half were mine and half were the model's. I wanted them to guess which were which. … The first of my readers to respond was Dana Mauriello, my best friend from college and an accomplished tech entrepreneur. “Truth: this was terrifying!” she wrote. “I was so nervous that I would say that AI wrote something that you wrote, and you would be insulted!!!” Her anxiety, it turned out, was justified. She didn't get any of them right.Dana blamed this partly on her not being a writer. But, of my seven readers, none correctly identified more than half the passages. One of the last people I heard from was the novelist Karan Mahajan, a professor of literary arts at Brown University. He and I learned to write together in college, along with Tony Tulathimutte, and have been sharing drafts with each other ever since. He's among the most perceptive writers and readers I've met. “Oof, this was really confusing and mindmelting,” Karan wrote. Then he, too, misidentified all four excerpts.To be clear, Tuhin isn't claiming that AI, except under the very specific, rather contrived circumstances of his experiments, can already match the best human writers. And he doesn't know if they ever will be able to match or surpass us. I don't know how much consolation that affords, though; what he has done is threatening enough. Moreover, in this episode we're doing what is sometimes the most anxiety producing thing of all when it comes to fraught questions: We're sitting in the uncertainty, and poking at it. How does his method work? What does and doesn't it prove? Why did he think to do it in the first place? What are its implications? What technical challenges would need to be solved for it to move from short samples, where detailed plot points and themes are provided by a human, to actually generating a full book with just a short prompt or a broad outline? And what are we human writers owed if it's our work, used as training data, that creates the conditions for being superseded by AI? Etc.I wrote a long essay, not too long ago, about my intuition that most of the fiercest responses to AI out there, both from the hardcore boosters and the hardcore haters, are flip sides of the same coin. They're dysfunctional manifestations of the anxiety that so many of us have right now in the face of what may be an extinction level event not so much in the Skynet takes over the world sense but of a more existential sort. We may soon be deprived of some of the core ways we've understood what it means to be distinctively human, how we've constructed our unique purpose as humans.Because of this fear, Tuhin has gotten a bit of hate for what he's done and shown, but from my perspective he's dealing with the existential threat we face in exactly the right way, the psychologically functional way. He's looking directly at it. He's rejecting both utopian boosterism and head in the sand denialism as strategies of evasion. He's being creative with the thing itself. And he's thinking in super pragmatic ways about how to best serve human interests in the long run. And not just thinking about that but doing something concrete and positive about it, collaborating with legal scholars on how to think about and craft policies that protect and compensate authors.So I'm sorry to stoke your anxieties, dear listeners, if that's what we do, but I'm not sorry I had Tuhin on the show. He's a fascinating and flexible thinker, a hard core computer scientist and a true lover of literature.Also: Eminent Americans, my sweet baby, is now produced in collaboration with the John C. Danforth Center on Religion and Politics at Washington University in St. Louis, and is distributed through its publication, Arc Magazine. You can find all of Arc's podcasts and much more online at arcmag.org.Hope you enjoy the show, and that the radiant beams of humanity and thoughtfulness that Tuhin and I generate between us don't just soothe your anxiety but ultimately help you to process it.Peace.

For many, parasites elicit feelings of disgust or fear, but today's guest has developed an affection for these small and mighty creatures. Award winning entomologist and evolutionary biologist Dino Martins joins host Patty Peltekos to discuss his new book, Hidden Creatures: Luscious Leeches, Bashful Botflies, and the Wondrous, History-Shaping World of Parasites. Martins grew up in rural Kenya where he was surrounded by animal and insect life and cultivated a fascination with mango worms and bot flies. He says we humans are just one of the organisms on this planet and that there's plenty to learn from parasites because they hold the fabric of life together. They're present in all areas of the cycle of life, even in our microbiome. He says, “One must truly love and seek to understand all of nature or, alas, you will come to love or understand none of it.” They discuss the rise of ticks in Wisconsin and around the world, and how these vectors of disease pose serious health problems. Martins says that ticks are resilient and adaptive and they're simply taking advantage of growth opportunities that humans have created for them through habitat disruptions, loss of biodiversity, and climate change. Invertebrates and insects are in decline all over the world, but parasites are on the rise due to human interference in natural systems.  Martins has a fascination with the minimalist but deeply feeling tapeworm, and describes how some parasites manipulate their hosts and how others are mutualists. Storytelling and art go hand in hand with Martin's scientific work. He drew the art in Hidden Creatures and asks his students to draw insects when he takes them into the field.  Dino Martins is an award-winning entomologist and evolutionary biologist. A professor at Stony Brook University, he has served as the director of the Turkana Basin Institute in Kenya, founded by Dr. Richard Leakey, and previously as the director of the Mpala Research Centre. He holds a PhD in organismic and evolutionary biology from Harvard University. His research and writing have been featured in Smithsonian Magazine, The Guardian, TED, the BBC, Granta, and National Geographic. He lives on Long Island and in Malindi, Kenya.

A busy summer of space travel came to a soft splashing end this week for astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley.对于宇航员鲍勃·本肯和道格·赫尔利来说，他们忙碌的夏季太空旅行在本周以柔和的溅落着陆画上了句号。It was the first splashdown by US astronauts in 45 years.这是美国宇航员45年来首次溅落着陆。As we descended through the atmosphere, the thrusters were firing almost continuously.当我们穿过大气层下降时，推进器几乎一直在点火。And I think this the sound that makes, I did record some audio of it, but it doesn't sound like a machine, it sounds like an animal.我认为这是它发出的声音，我确实录下了一些音频，但听起来不像机器发出的，倒像是动物发出的。The reentry is a fairly dynamic event and you can see from you know just an overall view of the capsule that reentry is a pretty demanding environment, you know with the different scorches on the vehicle and the windows were not spared any of that.再入大气层是一个相当动态的事件，从太空舱的整体情况来看，再入大气层是一个相当严苛的环境，飞行器上有不同的烧灼痕迹，舷窗也未能幸免。The two rode a SpaceX Dragon capsule to the ISS and back, marking the first such journey aboard a privately built and owned craft in the space station's 20-year history.两人乘坐太空探索技术公司（SpaceX）的“龙”飞船前往国际空间站并返回，这标志着在国际空间站20年的历史中，首次有人员搭乘私人建造和拥有的航天器完成此类太空之旅。The mission's success means another SpaceX crew launch could happen as early as next month with possible tourist flights next year.此次任务的成功意味着SpaceX公司可能最早在下个月再次进行载人发射，明年还有可能开展旅游飞行。Also this week from Cape Canaveral in Florida, NASA launched Perseverance, its most elaborate life-seeking Mars rover.同样在本周，美国国家航空航天局（NASA）从佛罗里达州的卡纳维拉尔角发射了“毅力号”，这是其最精密的寻找生命的火星车。Research scientist Dr Bethany Ehlmann explains the mission.研究科学家贝尚妮·埃尔曼博士解释了这项任务。We will be able to as before with rovers drive up to rocks, investigate them, figure out which ones are the most interesting.我们将能够像以前一样，用火星车开到岩石旁，对它们进行研究，找出哪些是最有趣的。But this time we'll be able to then core a piece of that rock out into a sample about the size of a piece of chalk.但这次我们将能够从那块岩石中取出一块大约粉笔大小的样本。Stony Brook University professor Scott McLennan says, to best study the samples collected by Perseverance, the rocks must land back on earth.石溪大学教授斯科特·麦克伦南表示，为了对“毅力号”收集的样本进行最佳研究，这些岩石必须被送回地球。They're the gift that keeps on giving because the samples will remain.它们是源源不断的馈赠，因为样品会一直留存。Our ability to make measurements will evolve. They will get better and better over time.我们的测量能力将不断发展。随着时间的推移，它们会变得越来越精确。And we can always go back and revisit those samples that we've brought back to earth.我们总是可以回去重新研究那些我们带回地球的样本。Samples may hold clues as to whether life ever existed on the red planet.样本或许蕴藏着线索，能揭示这颗红色星球上是否曾存在生命。NASA and the European Space Agency will join forces to bring them back to earth around 2031.NASA和欧洲航天局将联手在2031年左右把它们带回地球。

Is your sex life as private and personal as you think it is? Or is it shaped by – and constantly shaping, in turn – the society and systems you exist in? This week we're joined by Dr. Angela Jones, who asks these questions and much more in her new book, Sex in Public. Angela is a professor of Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at Stony Brook University. In addition to scholarly works published in many distinguished journals including Porn Studies and The Black Scholar, she's the author, co-author and/or editor of several books, including Black Lives Matter: A Reference Handbook and Camming: Money, Power, and Pleasure in the Sex Industry which came out in 2020 and advanced and informed a lot of my own understanding of the online adult industry especially. Her latest book, Sex in Public: The Transformative Social Power of Our Erotic Lives, just launched this month. As Angela writes: “Revolutionizing how we talk about sex means thinking not just about what a single solitary person should or shouldn't do in bed.” We get into the history of sexology, how sex toys complicate our understanding of what counts as sex, whether sex needs a definition at all, what happened when she bought and used a sex doll, and why the most vulnerable moments in their book are also the ones everyone wants to discuss.

Dr. Altman is a Functional Medicine Doctor with expertise in Energy Medicine, Bioelectric Signaling, and Regenerative Orthopedics.  He shares his own story that started his path towards becoming a doctor treating pain patients. Dr. Sean Altman is a Functional Medicine Doctor with expertise in Energy Medicine, bioelectric signaling, and regenerative orthopedics, whose work focuses on identifying the root cause of injury and restoring the body's internal communication networks so healing can resume naturally and durably. With an academic foundation in Molecular Biology from Colgate University and a Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Stony Brook University, Dr. Altman's training reflects a rare integration of cellular biology, biomechanics, and clinical medicine. Graduating Summa Cum Laude, he established early on a commitment to scientific rigor, clinical excellence, and innovation in patient care. ​As a Functional Medicine Doctor, Dr. Altman focuses on identifying and correcting the root biological drivers of pain, injury, and dysfunction rather than simply suppressing symptoms. His approach blends root-cause diagnostics with advanced bioelectric and regenerative therapies to restore communication within the nervous system, tissues, and cellular networks. Each patient receives extended, in-depth evaluations and a highly personalized plan designed to activate the body's own healing capacity and promote durable recovery. ​With over 15 years of clinical experience, Dr. Altman has treated a wide spectrum of complex and chronic conditions, including Lyme disease, fibromyalgia, migraines, autoimmune disorders, orthopedic and spine injuries, chronic pain syndromes, neurologic conditions, prenatal and post-partum conditions, and high-level athletic injuries. His advanced training in regenerative and neuromodulatory technologies — including shockwave therapy, Frequency-Specific Microcurrent, ultrasound-guided interventions, and bioelectric therapeutics — allows him to treat conditions that often fail conventional care. ​Dr. Altman's work has been featured in CBS and PBS documentaries highlighting integrated medical models at Integrated Pain Solutions in Greenwich, Connecticut, where he collaborated closely with specialists in physiatry, regenerative medicine, physical therapy, massage therapy, yoga, and meditation. This experience shaped his belief that durable healing requires a multidisciplinary, systems-based approach that addresses structure, biology, nervous system regulation, and energy simultaneously.

What if the book of Genesis is not only the story of humanity's first family, but also the story of God learning how to parent? In this episode, Rabbi Marc Katz sits down with Stephen Spector to discuss his book God and the First Families: Parenting, Trauma, and Healing in the Book of Genesis (Jewish Publication Society, 2026), a provocative reexamination of the Bible's foundational stories through the lens of parenting. Drawing on both biblical interpretation and contemporary psychology, Spector explores how God's relationship with the patriarchs and matriarchs evolves throughout Genesis. God begins as a demanding authority figure, shifts toward a more nurturing presence, returns briefly to authoritarianism in the binding of Isaac, and ultimately develops a style focused on fostering moral and emotional growth. Remarkably, Spector argues, Genesis anticipates parenting insights that psychologists would not articulate for thousands of years. Along the way, familiar stories take on new meaning. Cain and Abel, Isaac and Ishmael, Jacob and Esau, Joseph and his brothers—each narrative becomes a window into questions of favoritism, resilience, forgiveness, family conflict, and healing after trauma. By reading Genesis as a story about parenting and human development, Spector uncovers enduring wisdom about how families flourish, fracture, and find their way back to one another. Together, Spector and Katz explore what the Bible can teach about raising children, repairing relationships, and understanding the complex bond between love, authority, and growth. Stephen Spector is a professor of English emeritus at Stony Brook University. He is the author of Operation Solomon: The Daring Rescue of the Ethiopian Jews and Evangelicals and Israel: The Story of American Christian Zionism, among other volumes. Spector has taught the Bible to undergraduate and graduate students for fifty years. He has been a visiting scholar at Hebrew University and a senior research fellow at the National Humanities Center and the Wesleyan Center for Humanities.  Rabbi Marc Katz is the senior rabbi at Temple Ner Tamid in Bloomfield, New Jersey. He is the author of The Heart of Loneliness: How Jewish Wisdom Can Help You Cope and Find Comfort, a National Jewish Book Award finalist and Yochanan's Gamble: Judaism's Pragmatic Approach to Life.

Episode 3035: Suzann Pileggi Pawelski explores how positive emotions deepen romantic relationships by helping couples feel more connected, supported, and emotionally aligned. Drawing on research from leading psychologists, she reveals how emotions spread between partners and why cultivating positivity can strengthen bonds, improve cooperation, and increase long-term happiness. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://livehappy.com/relationships/love-and-happiness/ Quotes to ponder: "As important as positive emotions are for us as individuals, they may be even more important for our relationships." "When we are in romantic relationships we desire to expand ourselves by including our partner or spouse within our self and we associate that expansion of our self with the other." "Emotional contagion results from our tendency to copy or synchronize our facial expressions, vocalizations, postures, and behaviors with those around us, and as a result take on their emotional landscape."

In The Refugee Aesthetic: Reimagining Southeast Asian America (Temple University Press, 2021), Timothy K. August centers Southeast Asian American writers and artists to develop a theory of refugee aesthetics as a way of considering how aesthetic forms are created and contested by refugees, nonrefugees, and institutions alike. On this episode of New Books in Asian American Studies, Timothy K. August discusses the contradictions in how refugee stories are read as arising from exceptional circumstances even as the ever-increasing number of refugees renders refugeeness a remarkably everyday experience; the importance of aesthetics as a means by which refugees are able to contest—and reimagine—the refugee narratives that have been created through institutional and bureaucratic definitions of refugees; how refugee writers reconcile demands that they explain their experiences or perform their humanity within their own art and writing; and more. The Refugee Aesthetic examines a range of literary and artistic works by refugees, including poems, novels, graphic novels, and visual art, by writers and artists including Bao Phi, Monique Truong, Viet Thanh Nguyen, Mohsin Hamid, Gia-Bao Tran, and more, to argue for the agency of refugees as cultural producers who are redefining a politically, bureaucratically produced refugee image and instead imagining a plural form of refugee aesthetics. Please note that this episode was recorded prior to the events of October 7, 2023. Timothy August is an Associate Professor of English at Stony Brook University.

In this episode of the Campus Technology Insider podcast, Rhea Kelly, editor-in-chief of Campus Technology, speaks with Tirumala Rao Chimpiri, senior programmer analyst for enterprise applications & integrations at Stony Brook University, about CAIP-HE, a platform-agnostic reference framework for connecting insight, decision-making, and execution across enterprise environments. Chimpiri explains that organizations often invest in ERP, analytics, automation, integration, personalization, and AI, yet still struggle to turn insights into timely, coordinated action because these capabilities remain siloed and decision ownership and workflows are unclear. CAIP-HE focuses on four interdependent dimensions — cognitive automation, advanced analytics, integration and interoperability, and personalization — and is positioned as a leadership lens rather than a product or methodology. He recommends starting with a few high-impact scenarios, mapping the end-to-end flow from insight to execution, and addressing gaps through clearer governance, ownership, integration, and workflow design, noting that AI alone does not resolve decision flow or accountability. 00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro 00:30 Tirumala Background and Motivation 02:23 What CAIP-HE Means 05:38 The Insight to Action Gap 07:06 How to Apply CAIP-HE 08:58 Why AI Alone Is Not Enough 10:44 Governance and Decision Rights 12:34 Common Modernization Mistakes 14:22 Key Takeaways for CIOs 15:54 Closing and Where to Listen Resource links: CAIP-HE framework Why ERP and AI Initiatives Stall at the Execution Layer: A CIO Perspective Music: Mixkit Duration: 17 minutes Transcript (coming soon)

In this episode of See See by Ceci, Carl Safina, one of the world's most eloquent and mindful voices for the living Earth, MacArthur Fellowship laureate, and author of environmental classics including Beyond Words, Becoming Wild, and Alfie and Me, takes us on a journey across species and into the very nature of mind itself. Travel with us into the open ocean, the deep forest, and beyond, in the company of whales, wolves, elephants, and owls, and discover what consciousness looks like when we stop assuming it belongs only to us. Safina is the inaugural Endowed Professor for Nature and Humanity at Stony Brook University and founder of the Safina Center. As a scientist, he helped ban high-seas drift nets and reform U.S. fishing policy. For decades, he has been asking the questions most of us never think to pose: What is it like to be an elephant mourning a lost companion? How do sperm whale clans announce who they are in patterns of clicks as precise as Morse code? And what does a seven-year-old screech owl named Alfie, who still calls to the man who raised her, teach us about trust, love, and identity? In this wide-ranging and deeply moving conversation, Safina reflects on culture and de-extinction; on cognition that thinks in echolocation, intelligence that lives in a pod's shared memory, awareness that grieves, plans, plays, and recognizes itself in another. He considers why the most astonishing thing about animals is not what we discover about them but how estranged we have become from our own world, and dwells on beauty as a fundamental force in evolution, not an ornament added once the basics are in place, but the very thing that makes the basics worth having. This is an episode about kinship: biological, emotional, moral, and cognitive. About the courage to see the world not as ours to dominate but as a big family we all belong to.

Utilities are under pressure to deliver generation that is dispatchable, affordable, and clean enough to satisfy increasingly stringent environmental rules, notoriously hard to do in one asset. As renewables grow, the gas turbines and engines that have historically filled the gap come with a NOx problem, a CO2 problem, or both. Hydrogen offers a path through, but the supply isn't there yet. So what do you build today?Host Bridget van Dorsten is joined by Shannon Miller, CEO of Mainspring Energy, and Will Hazelip of National Grid Ventures, to dig into a technology most listeners haven't heard of and the first commercial hydrogen-powered deployment of it. Mainspring's 250-kilowatt linear generator is being installed at National Grid's 1,500 MW North Port facility on Long Island, in partnership with NYSERDA, the Long Island Power Authority, and Stony Brook University.Shannon explains how Mainspring redesigned the generator using the power electronics that drive solar inverters, batteries and EVs, replacing mechanical systems with software, eliminating the flame, and operating at temperatures low enough to take NOx out of the equation. An adaptive pressure cycle, software-controlled in real time, runs the same hardware on hydrogen, compressed natural gas, biogas, propane or blends, with no hardware change. The 250 kW form factor matters too: efficiency holds across the full load range, fleet redundancy replaces single-asset reliability risk, and deployment is a concrete pad plus electrical and fuel hookups rather than a multi-year build.Will frames the project against the regulatory backdrop. Long Island sits in a non-attainment zone for NOx, and New York's path to a carbon-free grid requires what the state calls a dispatchable emissions-free resource. The unit will run for 12 months on green hydrogen and on compressed natural gas, with Stony Brook measuring emissions and efficiency, NYSERDA watching for regulatory design, and National Grid building operational experience for the rest of its ageing fleet.The economic case rests on the alternative. New-build hydrogen-capable gas turbines run $3,500–$4,000/kW on capex (per Wood Mackenzie), with delivered power costs reaching $300–$900/MWh once hydrogen is layered in. Shannon's point is that committing to a single-fuel turbine only pays off if the fuel actually arrives at the scale and price you assumed. With hydrogen supply uncertain, that's a stranded-asset risk linear generators avoid by running on whatever fuel is available today. Will adds the carbon-market angle saying that as carbon pricing develops, real-time fuel switching becomes an optimisation lever, not just a hedge.Then there's the supply reality. Total US hydrogen production today isn't enough to fuel a single 500 MW power plant, and with 45V tax credit requirements tightening and federal climate policy in flux, the gap between hydrogen ambition and supply isn't closing fast. Will's suggests starting with the fuels that exist today and scale into hydrogen as supply grows.The episode closes on demand. Mainspring's factory produces 325 MW a year today and can roughly double in 12–15 months, with pull from industrial customers, data centres and AI infrastructure, and utilities at once, driven by the same problem: nobody can get power fast enough.This episode is sponsored by GridBeyond.

Send us Fan MailDr. Surabhi Aggarwal, neonatologist at Stony Brook University, joins Ben and Rupa to share five years of experience building a LISA — Less Invasive Surfactant Administration — program from the ground up at her institution. She walks through the obstacles of getting IRB approval, gaining clinical buy-in from colleagues comfortable with intubation, and how the introduction of video laryngoscopy was the turning point that finally got the practice off the ground. She shares early results showing that 30% of eligible babies received surfactant via LISA rather than intubation, discusses the technical nuances of catheter placement and confirmation, and weighs in on the emerging SALSA technique using an LMA — with a candid admission that she may be a little biased. She also highlights her work with MidCan, the AAP mid-career neonatologist group supporting clinicians between seven and seventeen years post-training.Support the showAs always, feel free to send us questions, comments, or suggestions to our email: nicupodcast@gmail.com.

In this episode of Tech Talks, Mahima Singh interviews Siddharth Singh, a published AI researcher, engineer and MS Computer Science Candidate at Stony Brook University. Siddharth shares insights on bridging research and engineering in real-world AI systems. He highlights the fundamental difference between researchers and engineers—where researchers focus on truth and rigor, engineers focus on building reliable systems under real-world constraints—and emphasizes the importance of combining both mindsets to create impactful AI solutions.Siddharth discusses how to identify meaningful research problems, design robust evaluation frameworks, and navigate the transition from research to production. He explains that real-world AI systems must account for constraints like latency, compute, and unpredictable environments, making system design—not just model performance—critical. He also highlights common failure modes in AI, including distribution shifts, metric misalignment, and human behavior adaptation.In this conversation, Siddharth shares practical guidance for working across research, engineering, and product roles. He explains how strong product managers manage uncertainty, translate business problems into precise technical questions, and avoid premature assumptions. He also advises students to build technical literacy, understand the gap between research and deployment, and develop the ability to frame clear, actionable problems. The discussion concludes with insights on experimentation, iteration, and the critical role of human judgment in building reliable AI systems.

In this episode, Niall speaks with Dr. Michael Egnor, a professor of neurosurgery at Stony Brook University who has performed over 7,000 brain operations. He is also director of the neurosurgery residency program and has published extensively on the relationship between mind and brain. In this conversation, they explore: — Why decades of brain mapping research suggest that reason and free will cannot be produced by neural activity — Cases of patients missing large portions of their brain who function normally — What paradoxical lucidity in dementia patients reveals about consciousness — How research on patients in persistent vegetative states challenges materialist assumptions — Why evidence from neuroscience points to the existence of an immaterial mind And more. You can learn more about Dr. Egnor's work through his book, “The Immortal Mind". — Michael Egnor's practice includes patients diagnosed with Arnold Chiari deformity, hydrocephalus, cranio-synostosis, brain tumors, and spina bifida, as well as children with severe head trauma. He has an international reputation for research on hydrocephalus, and he is on the Scientific Advisory Board of the Hydrocephalus Association in the United States. --- Interview Link: — Dr. Egnor's Book: https://amzn.to/4bIAiv3

The power industry's workforce crisis is well documented — an aging labor force, too few new recruits, and a surge of infrastructure investment that's only widening the gap. But on this episode of The POWER Podcast, two guests offer a practical blueprint for closing it. Derek O'Connor, Workforce Development Manager in the Office for Research and Innovation at Stony Brook University, and Rosalie Drago, Vice President for External Affairs and Strategic Engagement at Haugland Group, discuss the suite of workforce programs they've built together — from a paid summer experience for high school students called Taste of the Trades, to drone piloting certification, HVDC power systems training, an energy cybersecurity program, and EmpowerHER, a program designed to bring young women into the construction trades. Their model is built on a simple but powerful insight: many high school students need to earn income over the summer, which steers them toward retail and food-service jobs instead of career-building experiences. By braiding together government youth employment funding, industry sponsorship, and university research expertise, the Stony Brook–Haugland partnership pays students to explore energy and infrastructure careers — and then offers them a clear pathway from that first exposure all the way through college and into the workforce. O'Connor and Drago share real student success stories, explain how they've adapted their curriculum to a shifting energy landscape, and make the case that every community in the country already has the building blocks to replicate what they've done. They also discuss why investing in teacher training and community education delivers returns that go well beyond filling open positions.

"I believe in the power of people wishing to volunteer for initiatives rather than assignment of duties and responsibilities and having people feel as though it's a chore… (They) serve as champions in their areas to educate their fellow peers on what it means to be sustainable, what they can do that's in their power to contribute to the outcomes….And then as we started to become more mature…we formed structured committees, we leveraged those champions on the units to participate. We made it enjoyable in terms of participating. We actually have contests… (I)t just breeds excitement about sustainability and I think it just allows for a culture where people become engaged and part of the process." Carol Gomes on Electric Ladies Podcast Healthcare is a huge 18% of the economy and uniquely has to be caring well for patients and staff  24/7 every day while also vulnerable to extreme weather events itself. How do they do that, how do they cover those costs, and what can we all learn from them? Listen to Carol Gomes (pronounced like "homes"), CEO and COO of Stony Brook University Hospital in this fascinating conversation with Electric Ladies Podcast host Joan Michelson.   You'll hear about: ●        Their initiatives and systems to reduce energy and water consumption, CO2 emissions, waste and manage the significant hazardous waste a hospital generates. How "quality" is a mantra. ●        How they have engaged their people, building a unique culture, to embrace sustainability. ●        What Practice Green Health is and what other industries can learn from their data, analyses and sharing of best practices. ●        Plus, career advice, such as:   "I would say use your voice sooner than later. And if you see something, say something. If you wish to express yourself and you have an opinion and you're sitting at a table, express it and don't be shy… I think also leveraging networking opportunities is really important and volunteering for a committee or stretching yourself a little more than you normally would, and exploring areas where you may feel you're not as strong and don't be fearful of that… building relationships is not text messaging. It's not leaving voice messages. It's talking face-to-face, getting to know people, what's important to them." Carol Gomes on Electric Ladies Podcast Read Joan's Forbes articles here.

“Neuroscientists who stand up and say ‘we have souls' are few and far between,” says pediatric neurosurgeon Dr. Michael Egnor.“But when you look carefully at the neuroscience—the best neuroscience over the past century—it clearly points to the existence of the soul and to the existence of aspects of our mind that don't come from the brain.”Egnor himself started off as a materialist and atheist. But 40 years and more than 7,000 brain surgeries later, he concluded that reason and free will do not reside in the brain. In this episode, he reveals what he's found.“Neuroscience is just fundamentally wrong in a lot of ways … because of the materialist bias in neuroscience. We can't get away from this machine analogy, [but] we're not machines, and we don't work like machines work. And there's overwhelming evidence in neuroscience for the existence of a soul,” he says.Dr. Egnor is a professor of neurosurgery and pediatrics at Stony Brook University, a senior fellow at the Discovery Institute, and the co-author of the book “The Immortal Mind: A Neurosurgeon's Case for the Existence of the Soul.”Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.
