We all know screens are a huge part of teen life—but how much is too much? In this episode, I'm joined by coach and teen expert Will Kirsop to tackle one of parents' biggest concerns: device dependency. We unpack the real stats (brace yourself), the brain science behind why tech is so addictive, and how screens are impacting your teen emotionally, socially, and physically. But don't worry—this isn't your typical doom-and-gloom chat. We explore practical strategies to help your teen build a healthier relationship with tech, model better habits yourself (gulp), and navigate the pushback when you set boundaries. Whether your teen is glued to TikTok or gaming till midnight, this episode will leave you feeling informed, empowered, and ready to reset the balance at home.

In this episode of How to Build a Profitable Nutrition Business, we welcome Jennifer Donnelly, lecturer in Nutrition and Dietetics at Swinburne University and a PhD candidate researching private practice dietetics. Jennifer shares her journey from medical scientist to dietitian, highlighting the challenges of private practice and the gaps in training for new graduates. Many new dietitians enter private practice without business skills, counseling experience, or real-world exposure, making it difficult to succeed. Jennifer's research highlights the need for better preparation, including structured business training, marketing education, and private practice placements to bridge these gaps. With 30-50% of graduates entering private practice, Jennifer emphasizes the importance of entrepreneurial skills, mentorship, and adaptability. She discusses how dietitians can charge appropriately, build sustainable businesses, and create innovative services to meet client needs. Swinburne University is leading the way by incorporating entrepreneurship, social media marketing, and media training into its curriculum. Whether you're a new graduate or an experienced practitioner, this episode provides valuable insights into thriving in private practice.

Donald Trump says US astronauts will be planting an American flag on Mars within the next four years. But how about an Australian flag? In 2019 the then-PM Scott Morrison committed 150 million taxpayer dollars to get Australia a seat at the table for Project Artemis. Australia may not have anything of the scale of NASA, but we do have a national space agency. So could we see an Australian flag planted right next to the American one on the red planet in the next few years? Dr Rebecca Allen is Co-Director of the Space Technology and Industry Institute at Swinburne University of Technology. She joins Bension Siebert to explain what is, and isn’t, possible.

Headlines: Labor admits there's more work to do on cost of living, Trump makes more appointments, three in five Aussie renters never expect to own a home, police escort for Adelaide elephant and your thoughts on free uni and 4B!  Deep Dive: Is your boss spying on you right now?  Last month, Woolworths was under fire for its practice of intensely monitoring the productivity of some of its workers, reportedly using technology and algorithms to assess their minute-by-minute productivity. We've heard similar criticisms of retail giant Amazon and rideshare giant Uber – but what you might not know is that office workers are far from safe from this kind of intrusive surveillance.  So-called ‘bossware', software that monitors and reports employee performance using tools such as mouse tracking and web browsing surveilling, are becoming more common. So how are you being spied on right now? Peter Holland is a professor of human resource management from Swinburne University. He joins Benion Siebert on this episode of The Briefing to unpack how it all works.   Follow The Briefing:TikTok: @listnrnewsroomInstagram: @listnrnewsroom @thebriefingpodcast YouTube: @LiSTNRnewsroomFacebook: @LiSTNR NewsroomSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Youth crime has been in the spotlight nationally in recent years, with stories of teenage offenders dominating mainstream news bulletins.

With promises of locking up kids at younger ages, enforcing adult time for adult crimes and even looking at periods of solitary confinement for teen offenders; do these politicians have it right? In today's episode of The Briefing, Sacha Barbour Gatt speak with lecturer in criminology, Dr Joel McGregor from Swinburne University, to discuss the changing conversation around young criminals.  Follow The Briefing:TikTok: @listnrnewsroomInstagram: @listnrnewsroom @thebriefingpodcast YouTube: @LiSTNRnewsroomFacebook: @LiSTNR NewsroomSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

John Hopkins PhD is Associate Professor of Supply Chain Management at Swinburne University of Technology. He is also Founder of WorkFLEX which helps people transition to new ways of working. John discusses how his academic involvement in supply chain dynamics and traffic congestion led him to investigate flexible working. He highlights the long-term sustainability of hybrid work, emphasizing its potential to reduce supply chain bottlenecks and improve work-life balance. John discusses Australia's new “Right to Disconnect” law and other countries introducing healthy work boundaries. He predicts work time reduction is the next big work topic.     TAKEAWAYS   [02:08] John starts his working career with a mechanical engineering apprenticeship.   [02:37] John studies mechanical engineering with management, focusing on supply chains.   [03:15] Learning about global business flow working at a car parts supplier.   [04:10] John's PhD on e-commerce explores emerging virtual marketplaces.   [05:35] A UK defense project John works on uses technology to support fast decision-making.   [06:34] Researching traffic flow, supply chain challenges relate to office-centric work culture.   [07:30] John questions why people are commuting each day to the office.   [08:55] Employees' tools are no longer city based.   [09:50] John and his partner travel around the world, love Australia and pledge to go back.   [11:40] John's interest in technologies enabling supply chain communication and collaboration.   [12:20] John wins an innovation fellowship and uses his research on flexible working to launch WorkFLEX.   [13:30] The pandemic hits and John develops online course content to help people adapt.   [15:20] #1: Companies wanted flexible working and reacted quickly given enough motivation.   [16:23] #2: Attitudes and behaviors adapted rapidly as well.   [17:20] #3: 2024 has been a seminal year as hybrid is firmly embedded in Australian work practices.   [18:24] John finds the hybrid compromise to be a win-win.   [19:57] Most companies are not implementing hybrid well, not customizing the model.   [22:00] We need to discuss with employees what work they are doing and where = how.   [24:50] How the pandemic shone a light on the supply chain.   [25:30] John was Mr. Toilet Paper for a while in 2020!   [27:40] Research that combines supply chains and flexible working.   [30:32] Lack of effective risk management in supply chains was highlighted during the crisis.   [32:35] Cities were designed based on people flow—e.g. where water processing is needed.   [33:40] Some of the return to office push is related to investment in city infrastructure.   [36:19] Scale is the biggest issue with supply chains.   [37:10] Technologically sophisticated supply chains are patchworks of thousands of moving parts.   [38:22] We take for granted the relationships that enable us to have easy access to so much.   [39:25] Trust is essential to make the supply chain work.   [41:28] The new “Right to Disconnect” law in Australia comes into effect in August 2024.   [42:25] Before 2009, we actively needed to “connect” to access work outside office hours.   [44:44] The norm of being connected was never specified, so the law is a first healthy boundary on work practices.   [47:40] France's similar law in 2017 did not reduce productivity and emergencies are excluded.   [48:22] Giving workers confidence to not respond and reverse unhealthy behavioral norms.   [50:04] Governments may not need to create more mandates; flexible work is already in process.   [50:38] The Right to Request Flexibility laws in Singapore and the UK.   [51:25] Next step may be the Four Day Workweek, now ‘work' is being discussed broadly.   [52:50] The intensification of work combined with longer working hours.   [54:04] IMMEDIATE ACTION TIP: Keep it simple. Go to the basics. Make decisions based on ‘would the customer care'?       RESOURCES   John Hopkins PhD on LinkedIn WorkFLEX Australia John Hopkins PhD press on the “Right to Disconnect”       QUOTES (edited)   “We need to start thinking about what the work is that the people are doing and how often they should come together based on that, not based on anything else.”   “I feel that one thing the pandemic has done is that it's allowed us to have discussions about anything to do with work.”   “Trust is a really big thing. So in terms of supply chain, you need to be able to trust that you are going to get from a supplier what you need when you need it, in the quantity that you need, and the quality that you need.”   “We've got this intensification of work because we have all these tools that do things quicker and quicker for us. We're working more hours and doing more per hour.”   “Let's not have these mandates that just say two days or three days or whatever, with no further thinking or justification behind that. That's going to upset everybody.”   “Looking at flexible and remote work and flexible work arrangements and how that can impact and benefit supply chains. Let's remember that almost every organization has a supply chain. So everybody's got some support in a supply chain somewhere along the line.”   “My big prediction in terms of what will happen next in this whole kind of field is more about work time reduction.“   “It was never written into a policy that I'm aware of where we would say, you will be available to do this, you will be available to do that. It's a societal norm that has evolved.”   “What this law is doing, or it's certainly taking the first step towards achieving, is putting a boundary around work time and rest time.”   #fourdayworkweek #timereduction #supplychain #hybridmodel #righttodisconnect #australia #bottlenecks #flexibility #flexibleworking #congestion #trafficflow #worklifebalance

In this episode we speak with Bellinda King-Kallimanis, PhD, an expert in oncology research and patient advocacy. Bellinda shares her diverse experience in the field, from academia to the FDA and now her role at LUNGevity Foundation. The conversation covers various aspects of lung cancer, including screening procedures, risk factors, and common misconceptions. Bellinda emphasizes the importance of early detection and addresses the stigma associated with lung cancer. We also delve into the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) and a study comparing the impact of using different types of material to communicate screening information to patients. The episode also includes a rapid-fire Q&A section, where Bellinda provides concise explanations of key terms and concepts related to lung cancer. This episode was supported by the Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) and features this PCORI study by Robert J. Volk, PhD. Key Highlights: 1. Lung cancer screening compliance is strikingly low at 5-6%, despite high risk for those with tobacco history, and additional requirements may further complicate the process. 2. Stigma surrounding lung cancer, primarily due to its association with smoking, can deter people from seeking screening or discussing their health history, despite the fact that people with no tobacco history or people who have not smoked can also develop the disease. 3. Patient involvement in research, through initiatives like citizen science programs, and improved communication of complex information are crucial for advancing lung cancer care and understanding. About our guest: Dr. Bellinda King-Kallimanis is Senior Director of Patient-Focused Research at LUNGevity Foundation. In her work at LUNGevity she aims to ensure that patient and caregiver voices are incorporated in decision making across a wide variety of stakeholders and has built a Citizen Scientist program to aid this. Prior to joining LUNGevity, she worked at the US Food and Drug Administration Oncology Center of Excellence on the Patient Focused Drug Development team. There, she worked on the development and launch of Project Patient Voice, a resource for patients and caregivers along with their healthcare providers to look at patient-reported symptom data collected from cancer clinical trials. Bellinda also has experience in industry and academia and has published over 70 peer-reviewed papers. She received her Bachelor of Social Science and Master of Science in applied statistics from Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne, Australia, and her PhD in psychometrics from the Academic Medical Center in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Key Moment: At 38:39 “I've taken it on to try to improve my communication as a researcher, because we spend so many years reading complex materials that you just start talking that way. It does not resonate with my family. They'll be like, what are you talking about? Who do you think you are? So if we really want to be able to talk to people and connect the work we do, then we have to be able to talk about it in much simpler terms. I really do think it's so important for us all to work on our abilities to make sure that we are speaking to each other versus, I've been in plenty of conversations where people are not speaking, they're just speaking around each other because there's a gap in the understanding and healthcare is already like very complex and cancer is really scary. So,just being aware of not talking in acronyms all the time.” Visit the ⁠Manta Cares Website⁠ Disclaimer: All content and information provided in connection with Manta Cares is solely intended for informational and educational purposes only.  This content and information is not intended to be a substitute for medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Join our limited newsletter, The Science of Habits, to get curated, science-backed tips to help make your New Year's resolution stick in 2024. https://ggsc.berkeley.edu/podcasts/habits We explore how contemplating our heritage can make us feel more belonging, gratitude, and confidence in what we're capable of achieving. Link to episode transcript: https://tinyurl.com/5djerhbj Episode summary: Oral historian Mi'Jan Celie Tho-Biaz knows the profound impact the past can have on the present. For our show, Mi'Jan tried a lab-tested writing practice that took the historical facts she knew about her own family further – by way of her imagination. She journaled about her great-great grandmother Emma, the last enslaved person in her family, and her late father, Njoroge , imagining what they might say to her today.We also hear from psychologist  Susan Moore about how learning about your ancestors can help you feel a sense of self-knowledge, gratitude and belonging. Practice: Imagine an ancestor in your family lineage. It can be someone you have known or someone from centuries ago. Spend the next 5-15 minutes writing about them. If you don't know the details, imagine how their life would have been. Write down anything that comes to mind such as their way of life, their profession or what they looked like. Next imagine what they would tell you if they were alive today. What specific insights, advice or feedback would they give you? Write down your reflections.
