What does it take to simplify the chaos of multi-vendor data protection while keeping sovereignty, scalability, and automation firmly in sight? In this episode, I'm joined by Thomas Bak, CEO of Auwau, to explore how his company's Cloud Utility platform is helping managed service providers and enterprise IT teams redefine control and efficiency. I had the pleasure of meeting Thomas at the IT Press Tour, where he shared not only the story behind Cloud Utility but also how Auwau is supporting white-labeling, API-first workflows, and fully integrated billing automation.  This isn't about adding yet another tool to the tech stack. It's about building a self-service-first platform that acts as a single control point for complex, multi-tenant environments. Cloud Utility enables service providers and internal IT departments to operate with greater transparency and agility, from backup and object storage to role-based access and recurring billing. Thomas also opens up about why many customers still demand on-prem deployments, especially in sectors where data residency and control are non-negotiable. His perspective on how service providers can offer branded experiences for resellers while maintaining central governance is especially relevant in today's compliance-driven climate. We also discuss how Auwau's background as an MSP shaped its customer-centric approach to product development, and why flexibility across technologies like IBM Storage Protect, Rubrik, and Cohesity is baked into the product's core. If your business is struggling to scale its data protection offerings or looking for better ways to serve distributed teams and clients, this is a conversation you won't want to miss. How are you future-proofing your infrastructure without losing visibility or control? Let's explore that together.

This is the second episode of a two-part series on Neuroscience and Hindustani Music. It explores a research program on understanding the emotions that Hindustani music can evoke in people. This research is guided by Dr. Nandini Singh Chatterjee, a scientist at the National Brain Research Centre at Manesar, India, where she heads the Language, Literacy and Music Laboratory. This episode specifically focusses on the second study that was published in 2019, based on the responses of Indian participants to a set of Hindustani music samples. The music used in this podcast is a part of the samples used in the research study, played by sarod artist Pandit. Mukesh Sharma. Hymavathy Balasubramanian kindly provided access to the music files. Here is the website where you can listen to the music samples and contribute your responses to the ongoing research program. Dr. Nandini Singh Chatterjee is on our database of Indian women neuroscientists, NeuroFem India. Apart from her, the other people who were interviewed for this episode are: Dr. Suhas Vijayakumar, who created the website where the listener survey for the research on Hindustani music is conducted. He is currently a postdoctoral researcher at Harvard University. 2. Pandit. Mukesh Sharma is the sarod artist who created the music used in this study. He belongs to the Senia gharana. 3. Vishal Midya, the lead author on the 2019 study, is currently pursuing a doctorate at the Penn State College of Medicine. 4. Dr. Thomas Bak is a cognitive neuroscientist at the University of Edinburgh Dr. Nandini’s group based their calculation of tonality on the method shown in this earlier research on Carnatic music by another group of researchers. Here is the previous research from scientists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and University of Pennsylvania on emotion expressions in Indian Classical Dance. The NIH Director’s blogpost about NIH funded research on universality of human song Update on Feb 12th, 2020: After rebalancing for better overall audio quality between voices and background music, the audio file has been re-uploaded.

Should we offer language classes on the NHS? Could bilingualism be more beneficial than medication when it comes to a strong, healthy brain and is monolingualism making us ill? In this Brainwaves, Pennie Latin meets the man behind those bold ideas. Dr Thomas Bak is Reader in Psychology at the University of Edinburgh and clinical research fellow at the Anne Rowling Regenerative Neurology Clinic. A plurilingualist and Gaelic learner, originally from Poland, now based in Scotland his work focuses on the interaction between bilingualism and cognitive functions across our lifetime, in particular the effects of language learning in delaying diseases such as dementia.

Thomas Bak, Edinburgh, UK speaks on "Clinical aspects of Primary Progressive Aphasia". This movie has been recorded at "Atypical dementias: from diagnosis to emerging therapies" conference.

More than half the world speaks more than one language. New research is showing that being multilingual has some surprising advantages – it can help us keep healthier longer. Gaia Vince finds out how knowing many languages can protect our brains over our lifespan, and even stave off the appearance of some diseases, including dementia. Gaia attempts the Flanker Task at Lancaster University and then talks to Professor Panos Athanopolous about why bilinguals do better at it than monolinguals. She hears from Professor Ellen Bialystock from York University in Toronto and Dr Thomas Bak from University of Edinburgh who have discovered that being bilingual can slow down the appearance of Alzheimer’s disease. Professor Jubin Abutalebi, from the Universita Vita -Saluta San Raffaele in Milan explains how speaking more than one language increases the grey matter in the brain. And Gaia asks Alex Rawlings, who speaks 15 languages, how we can persuade monolinguals to learn another tongue. Morag Donaldson talks to Thomas Bak of her experience of taking part in his experiment that showed just 5 days of learning Gaelic improved her cognitive reserve. The latest research suggests the bilingualism also gives protection against other conditions, such as some stroke and memory loss, as Dr Thomas Bak and Professor Viorica Marian of Northwestern University explain.

The recent advances in our understanding of the molecular biology of neurodegenerative diseases have been paralleled (and indeed preceded) by a growing recognition that different forms of neurodegeneration are associated with characteristic patterns of cognitive dysfunction. In his presentation Thomas Bak will focus on different types of language impairment seen in neurodegeneration and its relationship not only to other cognitive but also motor functions. He will argue that a more subtle analysis of language deficits is not only essential for diagnosis and treatment, but can also offer insights into the very nature of neurodegenerative processes. | Center for Advanced Studies: 02.11.2011 | Speaker: Dr. Thomas Bak | Moderation: Prof. Adrian Danek
