Summary of the Synthetic Drug Trade from Mexico to America:Methamphetamine Production: Mexico became a major source of methamphetamine production due to the availability of precursor chemicals, weak law enforcement in certain regions, and the presence of powerful drug cartels. Meth labs operated in various regions of Mexico, producing large quantities of the drug destined for the U.S. market.Fentanyl Trafficking: Another major aspect of the synthetic drug trade was the trafficking of fentanyl, a potent synthetic opioid. Mexican drug cartels capitalized on the demand for opioids in the United States and began manufacturing and smuggling fentanyl across the border.Smuggling Routes: Mexican drug cartels have sophisticated smuggling operations that use a variety of routes to transport drugs into the United States. These routes include clandestine tunnels, hidden compartments in vehicles, commercial shipments, and even drones.Distribution Networks: Once the drugs cross the border, they are distributed throughout the United States using well-established distribution networks operated by cartel associates or street gangs. These networks reach into various cities and towns, making the drugs easily accessible to users.Violence and Corruption: The synthetic drug trade is associated with high levels of violence and corruption in Mexico. Drug cartels fiercely compete for control of lucrative drug trafficking routes, leading to territorial disputes and violent confrontations.Ongoing Challenges: Law enforcement agencies in both Mexico and the United States have been working together to combat the synthetic drug trade. However, the constantly evolving nature of the trade and the vast profits involved present ongoing challenges in curbing the flow of these drugs.In this episode we see how Synthetic drugs, namely Fentanyl, has changed the narcotics game and how the cartels are adjusting their business practices to reflect this. to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Subscribe to read | Financial Times (ft.com)

Here's the thing. Most enterprise AI talk today starts with chatbots and ends with glossy demos. Meanwhile, the data that actually runs a business lives in rows, columns, and time stamps. That gap is where my conversation with Vanja Josifovski, CEO of Kuma.ai, really comes alive. Vanja has spent two and a half decades helping companies turn data into decisions, from research roles at Yahoo and Google to steering product and engineering at Pinterest through its IPO and later leading Airbnb Homes. He's now building Kuma.ai to answer an old question with a new approach: how do you get accurate, production-grade predictions from relational data without spending months crafting a bespoke model for each use case? Vanja explains why structured business data has been underserved for years. Images and text behave nicely compared to the messy reality of multiple tables, mixed data types, and event histories. Traditional teams anticipate a prediction need, then kick off a long feature engineering and modeling process. Kuma's Relational Foundation Model, or RFM, flips that script. Pre-trained on a large mix of public and synthetic data warehouses, it delivers task-agnostic, zero-shot predictions for problems like churn and fraud. That means you can ask the model questions directly of your data and get useful answers fast, then fine-tune for another 15 to 20 percent uplift when you're ready to squeeze more from your full dataset. What stood out for me is how Kuma removes the grind of manual feature creation. Vanja draws a clear parallel to computer vision's shift years ago, when teams stopped handcrafting edge detectors and started learning from raw pixels. By learning directly from raw tables, Kuma taps the entirety of the data rather than a bundle of human-crafted summaries. The payoff shows up in the numbers customers care about, with double-digit improvements against mature, well-defended baselines and the kind of time savings that change roadmaps. One customer built sixty models in two weeks, a job that would typically span a year or more. We also explore how this fits with the LLM moment. Vanja doesn't position RFM as a replacement for language models. He frames it as a complement that fills an accuracy gap on tabular data where LLMs often drift. Think of RFM as part of an agentic toolbox: when an agent needs a reliable prediction from enterprise data, it can call Kuma instead of generating code, training a fresh model, or bluffing an answer. That design extends to the realities of production as well. Kuma's fine-tuning and serving stack is built for high-QPS environments, the kind you see in recommendations and ad tech, where cost and latency matter. The training story is another thread you'll hear in this episode. The team began with public datasets, then leaned into synthetic data to cover scenarios that are hard to source in the wild. Synthetic generation gives them better control over distribution shifts and edge cases, which speeds iteration and makes the foundation model more broadly capable upon arrival. If you care about measurable outcomes, this episode shows why CFOs pay attention when RFM lands. Vanja shares examples where a 20 to 30 percent lift translates into hundreds of thousands of additional monthly active users and direct revenue impact. That kind of improvement isn't theory. It's the difference between a model that nudges a metric and a model that moves it. By the end, you'll have a clear picture of what Kuma.ai is building, why relational data warrants its own foundation model, and how enterprises can move from wishful thinking to practical wins. Curious to try it yourself? Vanja also points to a sandbox where teams can load data and ask predictive questions within a notebook, then compare results against in-house models. If your AI plans keep stalling on tabular reality, this conversation offers a way forward that's fast, accurate, and designed for the systems you already run.

When Brandon and Whitney Cawood's three-year-old son was expelled from daycare for aggressive behavior, they faced a crossroads that would change not only their lives but potentially millions of others. Rather than accepting the psychiatric diagnoses being pushed on them, they discovered something shocking: their son's severe behavioral issues weren't psychological at all—they were chemical reactions to synthetic food dyes hiding in his daily allergy medication and antibiotics.Within 48 hours of removing these petroleum-based chemicals from his diet, they met their real son for the first time. This revelation launched them on a journey that would lead to creating the documentary "To Dye For," building a community of nearly one million parents, and influencing legislation across multiple states.To Dye For Documentary Dr. Roger McFillin / Radically Genuine WebsiteYouTube @RadicallyGenuineDr. Roger McFillin (@DrMcFillin) / XSubstack | Radically Genuine | Dr. Roger McFillinInstagram @radicallygenuineContact Radically GenuineConscious Clinician CollectivePLEASE SUPPORT OUR PARTNERS15% Off Pure Spectrum CBD (Code: RadicallyGenuine)10% off Lovetuner click here

Jacob Kimmel thinks he can find the transcription factors to reverse aging. We do a deep dive on why this might be plausible and why evolution hasn't optimized for longevity. We also talk about why drug discovery has been getting exponentially harder, and what a new platform for biological understanding to speed up progress would look like. As a bonus, we get into the nitty gritty of gene delivery and Jacob's controversial takes on CAR-T cells. For full disclosure, I am an angel investor in NewLimit. This did not impact my decision to interview Jacob, nor the questions I asked him.

Listen up ladies. Talking boobs, vagina's and health advocacy.My beloved client sent me down a rabbit hole, and it's worthy for ALL WOMEN TO HEAR. Let's get some facts straight about how women are treated by today's medical system. I've spent 22 years in the wellness industry and spen a great amount of time studying functional medicine and have worked closely with women—especially post–breast cancer clients—to restore their health and well-being. While the points below draw on observations from a recent interview I watched, they highlight critical issues in hormone therapy, cancer care, and the loss of sacred body knowledge.Uncensored Truths What the Medical System Isn't Telling WomenAs a salon and spa owner and a passionate advocate for women's health, I've seen firsthand how the medical system often fails women, especially when it comes to hormones and cancer treatment. It's time to get some facts straight.Bioidentical Hormones vs. Synthetics: The Key DifferenceI can tell you that bioidentical hormones—specifically estrogen—saved my life and my sleep. A common misconception is that synthetic hormones are the same, but they are absolutely not. Bioidentical hormones are designed with the exact same molecular structure as those naturally produced by your body. Synthetic hormones, on the other hand, are chemically altered. To put it simply, your body's cell receptors can "read" bioidentical hormones clearly, but they struggle to recognize and process the fuzzy "writing" of synthetics.This distinction is crucial, particularly when we look at the well-known 2002 Women's Health Initiative study. This study linked traditional hormone therapy to health risks, but later research clarified that those risks were tied specifically to the synthetic progestin used, not the estrogen itself.The Shocking Facts of Women's Healthcare + DismissalThe medical industry's approach to women's health is often misguided, leading to unnecessary suffering. Here are some examples shared on a recent interview: * Vaginal Estrogen for Cancer Survivors: It's outrageous that some cancer centers still deny women access to vaginal estrogen, even when major medical societies have stated it's safe for everyone, including breast cancer survivors. This small step could prevent immense pain, urinary tract infections, and bladder issues.* A Focus on Appearance, Not Function: We spend a "s**t ton" of time and money on treatments like cold capping to save hair during chemotherapy, but we don't prioritize treating debilitating symptoms like vaginal atrophy and sexual dysfunction. Why aren't simple, effective solutions like vaginal estrogen a standard "pre-medication"?* The Divorce Rate After Cancer: An oncology nurse once told me about the high number of divorces after breast cancer treatment. This is not just a coincidence; it's a consequence of the physical and emotional toll—the shift from lover to caretaker, the pain from castration medications, and the loss of intimacy.* Profit Over Patients: The harsh reality is that breast cancer treatment is incredibly profitable. When women develop new medical problems from their treatment, they often become long-term customers, needing multiple pharmaceuticals to manage their side effects. This creates a system that prioritizes profit over a patient's long-term well-being and quality of life.IT IS SPIRITUAL. Reclaiming Our Bodies and Sacred KnowledgeAt one point in history, the female body was viewed as sacred. Rites like menstruation, childbirth, and healing were honored rituals. This was replaced by a sterile, clinical system. Midwives were criminalized, women with natural knowledge were branded as witches, and institutions took over.* Birth moved to hospitals, becoming controlled and monitored.* Menstruation became something to hide.* Menopause was pathologized instead of celebrated as a new phase of life.The message became clear: "Your body is not yours to understand. We'll tell you what it means." It's time to reclaim our bodies, trust our intuition, and demand a healthcare system that honors and heals, rather than profits from our suffering.IN SHORT: The Profit-Driven Treatment Model * Women are convinced they've been "cured" even when they've only had DCIS (which isn't technically cancer)* Treatment creates a cascade of medical problems requiring 5-10 additional pharmaceuticals* The industry profits from creating long-term medical customers* High-risk women are now being preemptively put on aromatase inhibitorsMost revealing was this insight: "Breast cancer happens in states of estrogen deficiency, not excess. Those receptors upregulate as a survival mechanism... looking for their missing lifeline."From Sacred Knowledge to Medical ControlThe interview concluded with a powerful historical perspective on how medical institutions systematically replaced women's body wisdom:What Was Sacred:* Menstruation honored in ceremony* Birth attended by midwives and family* The body seen as teacher, not threat* Community-supported transitionsWhat Was Taken:* Midwives criminalized* Earth-based healers branded as witches* Birth moved to hospitals - controlled, monitored, medicated* Menopause pathologized instead of honored* Women's body knowledge replaced with institutional controlThe Bottom LineThese interview insights reveal a healthcare system that often prioritizes profit over women's wellbeing, denies established safe treatments, and has systematically dismantled women's autonomy over their own bodies.Women deserve better than being told their suffering is necessary, their hormones are dangerous, and their body wisdom is irrelevant. It's time to question who benefits from keeping women in the dark about their own health - and demand change.Would love to know your thoughts. Drop them below. It's serious ladies. Sending you all my love - be your own advocate, be curious and love yourself ruthlessly. No one else will - the level that you can. xo Blue skies, KassandraResource reference Get full access to The Light Between at thelightbetween.substack.com/subscribe

This conversation blew me away. Shyra Melo is 27 years old. First generation Colombian-American. And tomorrow she's ringing the bell at the Chicago Board of Trade as part of a company going public. But here's the kicker. Six years ago she was just a 21-year-old who heard about this Bitcoin thing on the news and decided to invest. Shyra's journey started when she kept hearing about Bitcoin everywhere. Financial advisors were telling her it would never grow. She decided to ignore them and invest anyway. That curiosity about crypto led her deeper into blockchain technology. She started understanding the real value wasn't in the coins but in the underlying tech. The chains. The propositions. The actual problems they were solving. Then she met Jason Melo. Her now husband and CTO who founded Paxo. She had a vision for privacy solutions on blockchain. He was working at a unicorn company and wasn't sure about leaving for another startup. But the vision was there. They saw the opportunity to create something different. Privacy vaults on blockchain that separate identifiable information from data analysis. Her family immigrated from Colombia. Her grandmother came first out of love. Then brought the daughters over. Including Shyra's mom who became a homeowner on her own. Powerful women showing what's possible. Now Shyra's a woman in tech at 27 years old building privacy solutions that keep kids safe. That's the American dream right there. This episode is about curiosity leading to opportunity. About mentally stepping into where you know you're going before you get there. About the difference between professionals and facade. And about how six years of consistent vision and execution can take you from Bitcoin beginner to public company executive.Connect:Connect with Rick: https://linktr.ee/mrrickjordanConnect with Shayra: https://www.instagram.com/shayra.me/ Subscribe & Review to ALL IN with Rick Jordan on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/RickJordanALLINAbout Shayra:Driven by the revolutionary potential of decentralized technologies, I've been actively involved in the crypto space since 2018.

Changes to bluetongue restrictions mean farmers can transport vaccinated livestock from Wales into England without the need for a costly pre-movement test. Sheep and cattle that have been jabbed can be taken to a market within 12 miles of the Welsh border such as Hereford, Ludlow and Oswestry. Since the start of July, trade in livestock between England and Wales has been affected by restrictions designed to stop the spread of bluetongue disease. The midge-borne virus poses no threat to public health or food safety but can be fatal for animals like sheep, cattle and goats.Routine border checks on live animal imports from the European Union are to be suspended, ahead of the introduction of the UK's new SPS - or sanitary and phystosanitary - deal with the EU. The government said the agreement would cut costs and red tape for businesses, while speeding up trade in food. Synthetic fertiliser is one of the biggest costs for salad production, not to mention its environmental impacts. One big producer, G's, on the Cambridgeshire Fens says trials of a new composting technique called Johnson-Su has led to a reduction in fertiliser use as well as increased crop health. A new rural crime strategy in Wales has made heritage crime or damage to ancient monuments a particular focus. There are fears treasure thieves are targeting Wales' most ancient sites – in an attempt to unearth rare and valuable artefacts for the black market. Nighthawkers use the cover of darkness to sneak onto protected sites and use their metal detectors. Authorities say they receive up to 20 reports of nighthawking at Wales' most precious historical monuments each year. Presenter = Steffan Messenger Producer = Rebecca Rooney

Daniel Blumenthal, VP of Strategy at MDClone, is building synthetic data models to mimic real patient data without the need to protect the identity of individuals. This type of data is being utilized in drug discovery and development, building predictive tools and new care models, and to better understand biases in clinical trials making them more representative. AI tools play an essential role in generating and validating synthetic data as well as integrating it into various processes and environments. Daniel explains, "Synthetic data means different things to different people. So I definitely would want to start with sharing what it usually means to MDClone, which is creating data based on real populations of patients, real patient data. Learning from that real patient data, extracting essentially the statistics from that data, understanding the relevant patterns that exist inside that data, and then, based on the statistics alone, generating a brand-new set of data, a brand-new set of people, and the synthetic data that we generate."   "If you look at it, essentially with your naked eye, you wouldn't know it's not real people. It has the same structure, has the same content appearance, and yet, inside, synthetic data contains no real people. So very different from other approaches to protecting patient privacy, which take a patient data set and hash data, mask data, or remove information like IDs, names, or locations."  "Instead of taking that sort of approach, synthetic data actually generates a brand-new set of people, fake people, that in our case, as we build it, maintain the same statistical properties, such that any analysis you want to complete, you could accomplish using the synthetic dataset just as you would with the original dataset. That it will yield the same meaningful conclusions as the synthetic that it would with the original." #MDClone #MedAI #AI #SyntheticData #DrugDevelopment #DrugDiscovery #ClinicalTrials #PatientPrivacy mdclone.com Listen to the podcast here

AI tools play an essential role in generating and validating synthetic data as well as integrating it into various processes and environments. Daniel explains, "Synthetic data means different things to different people. So I definitely would want to start with sharing what it usually means to MDClone, which is creating data based on real populations of patients, real patient data. Learning from that real patient data, extracting essentially the statistics from that data, understanding the relevant patterns that exist inside that data, and then, based on the statistics alone, generating a brand-new set of data, a brand-new set of people, and the synthetic data that we generate."   "If you look at it, essentially with your naked eye, you wouldn't know it's not real people. It has the same structure, has the same content appearance, and yet, inside, synthetic data contains no real people. So very different from other approaches to protecting patient privacy, which take a patient data set and hash data, mask data, or remove information like IDs, names, or locations."  "Instead of taking that sort of approach, synthetic data actually generates a brand-new set of people, fake people, that in our case, as we build it, maintain the same statistical properties, such that any analysis you want to complete, you could accomplish using the synthetic dataset just as you would with the original dataset. That it will yield the same meaningful conclusions as the synthetic that it would with the original." #MDClone #MedAI #AI #SyntheticData #DrugDevelopment #DrugDiscovery #ClinicalTrials #PatientPrivacy mdclone.com Download the transcript here

If there even is one.FARSIGHT podcast host and Head of Publications at the CIFS Casper Skovgaard Petersen, Head of Communications Toke Hanghøj and new CIFS partner, and host Jo Lepore discuss the synthetification of what we create and what we consume.Technology is rapidly upending the traditional media industry. As this happens, we see literacy rates declining and the increasing ease of outsourcing writing and thinking. So too, all of this influences the stories we create and tell about the future. Whether we paint visions as warning for where our vices may take us, or as a mirror to reflect back what parts of humanity we do not want to lose. And of course, there are lessons in looking back at the past and the stories we told each other that no longer hold true.----------More:Looking Outside podcast www.looking-outside.comConnect with host, Jo Lepore on LinkedIn & X & jolepore.comLearn more about Copenhagen Institute for Futures Studies Listen to the FARSIGHT podcast & read the publicationFollow Casper & Toke on LinkedIn----------⭐ Follow & rate the show - it makes a difference!----------Looking Outside is a podcast exploring fresh perspectives of familiar topics.

Welcome to this week's podcast. Have you ever sat in a pew, a Bible study, or a family debate and thought: ‘Do I actually believe this—or am I just repeating what I've been told?' If so, you're not alone. Today, we're unpacking James Fowler's Third Stage of Faith—where many of us get stuck… but there is a way forward.Imagine faith like a ladder. Stage 1 is the toddler clinging to fairy-tale images of God. Stage 2 is the kid who thinks Noah's ark had two giraffes. But Stage 3? That's where most of us camp out—sometimes for life.This week, I will discuss the key characteristics, give examples of what it looks like in the "real world," quote scripture, and tell you about the research on spirituality. It's a good one. Leave me some comments and let me know what you think.

Jensen Huang on why AI will be indispensable, how he uses AI, synthetic data and AI generated knowledge in 10 years to be 99% on all AIs, and his own American Dream. This Part 3 is the third and last 10-minute segment of a 3-part recording of Jensen Huang's entire 30-minute talk in Stanford on July 26, 2025.  Part 3 Summary:  to read Pt. 3 as a 5-min blog To watch Pt. 3 as a 16-minute video Part 3 Summary:  Jensen Huang advised young people to learn how to reason and break things down to first principles. To know what the first principles are: “Go to school!” In answering the concerns about human collective intelligence of managing the collective intelligence of AGI, Jensen Huang stated that “... human generated knowledge and human generated data would today be 99%, in about 10 years it will probably be 1%. The vast majority of human knowledge will be generated by AI. It will be AI generated data that the other AIs learn from,...it's going to be synthetic generated intelligence. …that's just intelligence, it is not a big deal, It's just data…that the amount of AI generated knowledge is to be incredibly high.” (Comments from Joanne Z. Tan:)  I respectfully disagree with Jensen Huang regarding synthetic data:  I wrote an article (link below) seven months ago, analogizing the danger of synthetic data to Norman Rockwell's famous painting, “The Gossips”. What may start as a story about a “cat”, may end up being about an “elephant” after being passed through 15 people. It is therefore important to label data either as originating from a source or as synthetic, before being used to train AI and becoming untraceable, to avoid misinformation that can cause catastrophes like a financial market meltdown. Here is my article: https://10plusbrand.com/2025/01/13/synthetic-data-ai-toxic-assets-financial-crises-2008-1987-joanne-z-tan/ This point is echoed by a prominent expert in the AI fintech industry, who was also a chief data officer at both state and federal government levels, in the “Interviews of Notables and Influencers”. The subheadings about synthetic data speak for themselves: https://10plusbrand.com/2025/04/07/ai-future-synthetic-data-ai-mistakes-ai-governance-crypto-regulations-knowledge-economy-tammy-roust-interview-joanne-z-tan/ (At 46'21”): “Untagged synthetic data pose systemic risks; model collapse; The real danders from AI hallucination”  (At 49'56”): “Need for auto tagging of synthetic data when it is being generated and used; the danger of group think” and “We need to have a human consensus mechanism & AI governance committee to correct AI's mistakes”. Jensen Huang said this about AI: “You want the smartest friends? You want the most productive friends?...go engage AI as fast as possible, because they're super, super smart and they're going to help you solve problems.”  “It's also the case that we want second opinions, and third opinions. I use multiple AIs at the same time solving the same problems. And I take the answers from one and I give it to the other one. I'll make the second one judge the first one: What do you think about this answer?...And I ask each one of them to produce, you know, based on everything that you've now learned, why don't you reflect on what I told you and what I gave you, and then give me a better answer. And so you notice I'm interacting with AI the way I interact with people, I want them on my side, I want them to work with me.” (Comments from Joanne Z. Tan:) The above sounds like circular reasoning to me. If nothing is done to label synthetic data used by all AI models, what makes their second and third opinions any more reliable? Without holding AI accountable by resorting to “first principle thinking” that Jensen Huang has applied over and over, what makes AI smarter or credible? Assuming that Jensen Huang's preference for human control over AI tools is not hijacked by AI yet, AI is threatening human intelligence with this “double whammy”: By automating tasks, AI will take away the OPPORTUNITY for humans to learn the basic skills that train their minds to advance to higher level positions; By relinquishing analytical and critical thinking to AI, human mental acuity will be degraded. Without doing the thinking ourselves to practice and strengthen the skills, humanity will lose reasoning CAPABILITY by relying on AI.  Finally, Jensen reflected on the American melting pot, amazing opportunities, and the rule of law for both immigrants and Americans. He said it is a combination that is “SO delicate, … it depends on so many things working together, …. It is not a guarantee, … I really hate to see us squander that… I hope that we continue to protect that.”   Regarding the competition between China and the US, he said “competition is great, but conflict is less good.” He cautioned that what is going on between governments and countries ought not to be conflated with how individual American Chinese who are pursuing the American Dream are treated. ©Joanne Z.

Episode 314 Weight-loss drugs Ozempic and Wegovy have been shown to slow down - or even reverse - the ageing process. In a trial of 84 people taking semaglutide, their biological age dropped by 3.1 years on average, with some organs becoming almost 5 years younger. Based on this new research, this finding could make these some of the most impactful anti-ageing drugs on the market. So how are they doing it? Scientists have very nearly created a new lifeform. A synthetic bacterium has been created with 101,000 changes to its genome - clearing up redundant code in its DNA. By freeing up codons in its genetic code, this bacteria could make new kinds of proteins unlike anything that exists naturally - and pave the way for creating virus resistance bacteria. The recent earthquake off the coast of east Russia was the sixth biggest ever recorded. Thankfully the ensuing tsunami has been manageable - unlike previous record-setting quakes. With two large “foreshocks” before the big one, we ask a professor of tectonics about the geology of the region.  Chapters: (00:34) Weight-loss drugs slow down ageing (10:59) Creation of a new synthetic bacterium (21:52) Geology of the Russian earthquake Hosted by Rowan Hooper and Sam Wong, with guests Alexandra Thompson, Michael Le Page, Andrew Steele, Wes Robertson and Lisa Mcneill.

Synthetic cannabinoid HHC or Hexa hydro cannabinol has been classified as an illegal drug by the Government. This means that the import, export, production, possession, sale and supply of products containing the man-made substance is banned. HHC, as well as 13 other substances, has now been categorised as a Schedule 1 controlled drug Misuse of Drugs Act 1977. A Clare mother has called for this ban after her daughter's experience with HHC. To discuss this further, Derrick Lynch was joined by Clare mother.

The line between groundbreaking innovation and controversial ownership blurs when scientists begin creating life in laboratories. What happens when your invention isn't just a device or chemical formula, but a living, breathing, self-replicating organism that refuses to stay contained within traditional legal boundaries?Synthetic biology—the field where engineering meets genetics—has created a perfect storm for intellectual property law. Scientists can now design cells like software, program bacteria to clean oil spills, and edit genes with CRISPR technology. But who owns these inventions when they start reproducing themselves?From the landmark 1980 Chakrabarty decision that first allowed patents on genetically modified bacteria to the controversial Myriad Genetics case that determined human genes cannot be patented, we explore the fascinating legal battles that shaped biotech innovation. We journey through courtrooms worldwide where judges grappled with unprecedented questions: Can you patent a cloned sheep? Should farmers be allowed to replant patented seeds? Does traditional knowledge about medicinal plants deserve protection from corporate "biopiracy"?The legal landscape continues evolving, with a brand new WIPO treaty requiring disclosure of genetic resources' origins in patent applications. This represents a major shift toward transparency and fairness, especially for communities whose biodiversity and traditional knowledge have contributed to modern innovations.Whether you're a scientist, lawyer, entrepreneur, or simply curious about the legal frameworks governing emerging technologies, this episode offers crucial insights into how intellectual property systems are adapting to the brave new world where the line between invention and life itself becomes increasingly blurred.

Dietmar Offenhuber reflects on synthetic data's break from reality, relates meaning to material use, and embraces data as a speculative and often non-digital artifact.  Dietmar and Kimberly discuss data as a representation of reality; divorcing content from meaning; data settings vs. data sets; synthetic data quality and ground truth; data as a speculative artifact; the value in noise; data materiality and accountability; rethinking data literacy; Instagram data realities; non-digital computing and going beyond statistical analysis.  Dietmar Offenhuber is a Professor and Department Chair of Art+Design at Northeastern University. Dietmar researches the material, sensory and social implications of environmental information and evidence construction.  Related Resources Shapes and Frictions of Synthetic Data (paper): https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/20539517241249390  Autographic Design: The Matter of Data in a Self-Inscribing World (book): https://autographic.design/  Reservoirs of Venice (project): https://res-venice.github.io/ Website: https://offenhuber.net/ A transcript of this episode is here.    

One of the customs which we observe during the Nine Days – from Rosh Hodesh Ab through Tisha B'Ab – is to refrain from meat. The Mishna establishes that eating meat is forbidden only during the Se'uda Mafseket – the final meal before Tisha B'Ab – but the custom was accepted to refrain from meat throughout the period of the Nine Days (except, of course, on Shabbat). A number of companies today sell synthetic meat – products made from soy or other ingredients but resemble meat, and are eaten as meat substitutes. Are such products permissible for consumption during the Nine Days? Hacham Bension Abba Shaul (Jerusalem, 1924-1998) writes that although the concept of Mar'it Ha'ayin – avoiding actions which appear as Halachic violations – forbids eating something which appears prohibited, this rule does not apply to something which is forbidden only by force of Minhag (accepted custom). When something is forbidden by the strict Halacha, then we must be concerned about Mar'it Ha'ayin, but not when it is forbidden only on the level of Minhag. Therefore, Hacham Bension writes, it is permissible during the Nine Days to eat vegetarian products which resemble meat, but during the Se'uda Mafseket, when meat is forbidden on the level of strict Halacha, it may be eaten only privately, but not in public view. Summary: Synthetic meat products – meaning, products which resemble meat but are made from soy or other ingredients – may be eaten during the Nine Days. However, during the Se'uda Mafseket right before Tisha B'Ab, such products may be eaten only in private, but not in a public setting.

Episode 250: Comcast solved the age-old problem of how to make employee suggestions a powerful, reliable source of value-driving improvements at scale.   Sean McEntire, Comcast's Vice President of Customer Strategy and Operations, explains how the Outer Loop channels every employee elevation—no matter how small—through a disciplined screen, assigns a named owner, and tracks progress in public view. Ninety thousand teammates now feed a single pipeline that forces scattered ideas into accountable hands and verified fixes, solving 7,000 customer pain points so far. A frontline agent's push for an easy‑to‑use, large‑button remote shows the system at work: The idea passed triage in hours, landed on the product team's desk, and shipped nationwide within months—evidence that voices on the floor can reshape the hardware in customers' hands. Once an elevation clears triage, technology, operations, or product leads must respond within set deadlines—accept, reject, or ask for data. Every decision and follow‑up lives on the same dashboard employees use to log ideas, so trust grows with each visible step. As McEntire puts it, “CX is all about transparency. If you're going to be transparent with your customer, you need to be transparent with your teammates.” The result? Faster fixes, rising JD Power and NPS Prism rankings, and a workforce that, 10 years into the transformation, keeps feeding the Outer Loop because they've seen their suggestions become reality.

So it's, the score will be your north star on, ‘Are you making progress?'” Additional Resources Learn more about the NPS® Outer Loop by Bain & Company: https://www.qualtrics.com/marketplace/bain-outerloop/ Listen to our two-part 2018 podcast on the origin of Comcast's NPS journey with Charlie Herrin, Comcast's chief customer experience officer: https://www.netpromotersystem.com/insights/inside-a-cable-giants-net-promoter-turnaround-nps-podcast/
