Sustainable aviation involves the development and use of renewable or waste-derived aviation fuels, known as Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF), which meet sustainability criteria. These fuels are designed to reduce CO2 emissions from aviation, a sector responsible for 12% of CO2 emissions from all transport sources.  The global aviation industry is committed to a sustainable future for aviation, aiming to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. This goal will be achieved through improvements in aircraft and engine efficiency. In this show we focus on issues beyond fuels including design, materials and we unpack some myths with David Zingg and Stephen Armstrong.   Guest Bio: Professor David Zingg is Internationally recognized as a leading researcher in the field of computational fluid dynamics, and has achieved numerous advancements that have increased the competitiveness of Canada's aerospace industry.  As a Professor at the University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace Studies (UTIAS) for the past 37 years, Dr. Zingg has championed the need to reduce the impact of aviation on the environment, and has built a highly respected team to develop technological solutions to address this issue. His research areas include aerodynamics, computational fluid dynamics, and aerodynamic shape optimization. His current research is focused on applying high-fidelity aerodynamic shape optimization to aircraft design to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from aircraft.  To help ensure that results of his research are quickly transferred to practice, Dr. Zingg has consistently engaged industry in his research activities and has close ties with Bombardier and NASA. He holds BSc, MASc and Phd all from the UofT.

"You read the book, you have a visceral reaction to things, you take note of it, and you bring it to the author..."In anticipation of Shelley Thompson's novel Roar hitting shelves, Emma and Cyn take the opportunity to learn more about the process behind the publication of this fiercely anticipated novel. This episode, we're taking a peek into the world of sensitivity reading, and the sorts of insights this process gives to authors looking to properly represent marginalized communities in their works of fiction. Emma and Cyn are joined by Ronnie Ali, a Registered Psychotherapist, Diversity and Wellness Consultant in the arts and entertainment production, a Trauma-Informed Practice Specialist with Challenge Accepted, and Clinical Supervisor at the Toronto Institute for Relational Psychotherapy. Due to these exceptional qualifications and her insightful nature, Ronnie was chosen to be a sensitivity reader for Roar, and worked closely with Shelley Thompson to deliver a narrative that felt respectful, gripping, and authentic to the trans experience. Outside of her work as a sensitivity reader, Ronnie focuses on ending cycles of violence by addressing the roots of oppression and discrimination through research, psychoeducation, social programming, mindfulness training, and consultation services. The majority of the clients at her practice are trans and gender non-conforming. Ronnie identifies as a trans woman of colour and an immigrant settler in Turtle Island.

"Conscience represents ethics that are not socially constructed and not socially learned but built-in. In fact, the whole of psychoanalysis is grounded in such an ethic - we all as analysts value life over death, we value truth over lies, we value love over hate, kindness over cruelty. Like those little three-month-old infants that Bloom studied at Yale, these values are grounded in our biology. They are part of what Winnicott would call our true self and they are quite distinct from the very different moral notions that wind up in our superego. After all, our superego contains our racism, it contains our sexism, it contains our heterosexism and those values are very distinct from our core values: love over hate, life over death. We all know on a fundamental level what's right and what's wrong on that very basic level, and that is the voice of conscience; we don't need God for this; it is built in biologically.”   Episode Description: Don begins by describing the difference between the narcissistically based superego from the object-oriented conscience. He sees the former as culturally derived and the latter as biologically given. We discuss how in the clinical situation persecutory guilt, i.e., superego, may often be emphasized to defend against the vulnerabilities associated with loving and being loved. We consider the use and overuse of the concept of trauma in contrast to intrapsychic conflict, and he distinguishes between empathy and sympathy. He shares his view that the edges of our political parties are imbued with the self-certainty born from the paranoid position. Ultimately, he concludes, "I'm not afraid that analysis will disappear - people who have problems with their soul will seek out soul doctors."   Our Guest: Don Carveth, Ph.D., is an emeritus professor of sociology and social and political thought at York University in Toronto.

The Herle Burly was created by Air Quotes Media with support from our presenting sponsor TELUS, as well as CN Rail. Alright, Herle Burly-ites. A big topic today, that's got me pretty keyed up. If you follow me on Twitter, you know that already. I want to do a thorough discussion, here on the pod, on where healthcare in Canada should and shouldn't go. So let's get right to it with our guests.Dr. Danielle Martin has been with us here once before, helping us get some clarity in the early days of the pandemic. She is a Professor and Chair of the Department of Family and Community Medicine, Temerty Faculty of Medicine at the University of Toronto. Dr. Martin also holds a Masters from the School of Public Policy and Governance at U of T. Her policy, clinical and academic expertise, combined with her commitment to health equity, has made her a highly regarded health system leader here in Canada.And Professor Greg Marchildon, Ontario Research Chair in Health Policy and System Design at the University of Toronto Institute of Health Policy, Management and Evaluation. Greg has also been a noted public servant, and the Executive Director of the Royal Commission on the future of Health Care in Canada … an author of the Romanow Report. He was appointed to the Order of Canada, last year.So today … a solutions-oriented conversation on the health of our healthcare system. For Profit Delivery … does it help? What's should its role be? How much money is required here? Why can't money alone fix the system? What are other jurisdictions doing successfully or unsuccessfully? Not only in the U.S. but hybrid public/private systems in Europe. Is it true they're equitable and how do they work? What should the provinces be doing with their increase in health funding?Thank you for joining us on #TheHerleBurly podcast.

In this episode of the IJGC podcast, Editor-in-Chief Dr. Pedro Ramirez is joined by Sarah Mah to discuss the gender imbalance in authorship in gynecologic oncology. Sarah Mah is a Gynecologic Oncology fellow at McMaster University who received her MSc in Quality Improvement and Patient Safety through the University of Toronto Institute of Health Policy, Management and Evaluation and completed residency at the University of British Columbia. Her research interests are in quality improvement with an equity and sustainability lens, knowledge translation, and cancer prevention. Highlights: Women now account for 55-70% of practicing Gynecologic Oncologists and >80% of Gynecologic Oncology fellows in the United States and Canada. Rates of female first authorship in Gynecologic Oncology journals are rising in proportion, but rates of female senior authorship lag behind, with male authors still overrepresented. Women remain underrepresented as members of Editorial Boards of Gynecologic Oncology journals, particularly in leadership positions. While the COVID-19 pandemic has not yet impacted the proportion of female authors, we discuss reasons for why this could be of future concern and the importance of ongoing surveillance. We discuss some of the literature regarding gender inequity in academia and publishing and explore possible strategies for improvement.

Welcome to Psychoanalytic Thinking, where we explore psychoanalytic thought from inception up through to modernity. Join distinguished professor and 40-year veteran psychoanalyst Dr Don Carveth for engaging lectures on psychoanalysis. Known for his clear communication style, Don's grasp of the literature comes through in the thought-provoking opinions he provides. This podcast will facilitate a deeper understanding of yourself and the world around you. Donald L Carveth, PhD, RP, FIPA is Emeritus Professor of Sociology and Social & Political Thought at York University in Toronto. He is a training and supervising analyst in the Canadian Institute of Psychoanalysis, past Director of the Toronto Institute of Psychoanalysis, and past Editor-in-Chief of the Canadian Journal of Psychoanalysis/Revue Canadienne de Psychanalyse.

In July 2020, scientists citing the precautionary principle said “It Is Time to Address Airborne Transmission of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)”. They were rebuffed a month later by experts who cited a lack of evidence and argued: “the concerns raised by the authors are not borne out in clinical experience”. Nearly a year later, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO) updated their language to include aerosol transmission and in the case of the CDC, they listed it as the first method of transmission before droplets and fomites. Paradoxically, neither organization updated its guidance to address the implications of the new language. What's going on here? Today's guest is part of a growing body of experts calling on the Infection Prevention and Control (IPAC) community to accept that SARS-CoV-2 is not only transmitted by aerosols but that the airborne route may be the dominant mode of transmission. Dr. David Fisman, an epidemiologist and professor at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health, along with several colleagues, published Ten scientific reasons in support of airborne transmission of SARS-CoV-2. Dr. Fisman tells us that the evidence is clear, but the IPAC community has been slow to accept it because of two main reasons. First, IPAC practitioners are going to lose face – to change course now is to admit they were wrong. Second, this will cause a massive change to IPAC practices in hospitals – some at significant expense. Dr. Fisman believes the Semmelweis reflex – the human behavioral tendency to stick to preexisting beliefs and to reject fresh ideas that contradict them despite adequate evidence – may be at play. Zeynep Tufekci said something similar in a recent NY Times article when she said IPAC experts were “setting a higher standard of proof for theories that challenge conventional wisdom than for those that support it.” And TIPS previously described this type of thinking as Highly Qualified Toxic Culture Syndrome. This resistance to new thinking could be supported by the massive implications (and costs) that would be driven by necessary changes to IPAC protocols. Plus, we cannot discount the effects of the highly charged political environment on every aspect of the pandemic response. Regardless, Dr. Fisman makes a compelling case that it's time for the IPAC community to take a step back and reevaluate the growing body of evidence that points to aerosols as the dominant means of SARS-CoV-2 transmission. In addition to the droplet vs aerosol debate, we cover:   The history of the Dalla Lana School of Public Health and the newly founded University of Toronto Institute for Pandemics David Fisman's background and career path What it's like being an epidemiologist during a pandemic and working under the microscope in a highly charged political environment. Dealing with misinformation. COVID-19 origins Treating vaccine manufacturing capabilities as a strategic asset for national security. The Ontario government's reopening plan and how it seems to acknowledge aerosol transmission without explicitly saying it. Vaccine mixing And much more   You can also catch Dr. David Fisman and others discussing aerosol transmission on CBC's recent story: How delays in acknowledging airborne COVID-19 transmission risked lives.

"Persecutory guilt is simply a form of self-attack, it is tormenting and it belongs to the paranoid schizoid position and it is narcissistic. People sometimes don’t fully recognize the narcissism in the paranoid-schizoid position, because it is in that position you are feeling hunted by predators… When we're in the depressive/reparative position other people are real to us, we not only are able to empathize with them we need to go beyond empathy to sympathy in the depressive position where I not only know how you feel, but I care and I wish to relieve your pain." Description: We discuss the differences between guilt that reflects concern for the other and alternatively self-abuse that serves narcissistic purposes. The former relates to Klein's depressive/reparative stage, labeled ‘conscience’ by Carveth, and the latter derives from the paranoid/schizoid position, labeled ‘superego’. We review varying technical approaches to each of these clinical presentations and note that the countertransference provides vital guidance in understanding the state of the analysand's mind. We close by considering how the capacity to bear guilt may be a measure of the maturation of a civilization.   Our Guest: Donald L Carveth, Ph.D., RP, FIPA is Emeritus Professor of Sociology and Social & Political Thought at York University in Toronto.

Since the classical Freudian and ego psychology paradigms lost their position of dominance in the late 1950’s, psychoanalysis became a multi-paradigm science with those working in the different frameworks increasingly engaging only with those in the same or related intellectual “silos.” Beginning with Freud’s theory of human nature and civilization, Psychoanalytic Thinking: A Dialectical Critique of Contemporary Theory and Practice (Routledge, 2018) proceeds to review and critically evaluate a series of post-Freudian contributions to psychoanalytic thought. Out of dialogue and mutual critique, psychoanalysis can separate the wheat from the chaff, collect the wheat and approach an ever-evolving synthesis. This book will be of interest to psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychotherapists and, more broadly, to readers in philosophy, social science and critical social theory. Donald Carveth is an Emeritus Professor of Sociology and Social and Political Thought and a Senior Scholar at York University, Toronto, Canada and a Training and Supervising Analyst in the Canadian Institute of Psychoanalysis. He is past Director of the Toronto Institute of Psychoanalysis and a past Editor-in-Chief of the Canadian Journal of Psychoanalysis/Revue canadienne de psychanalyse.

Dr. Robert Zee is the only director the Space Flight Laboratory (SFL) at the University of Toronto Institute of Aerospace has known since its inception in 1998. Over the years SFL has been an innovator in the field of small satellites and without question can be regarded as one of its pioneers. Robert is my guest on this weeks podcast. What started as an idea has involved into a educational powerhouse in the small satellite field. SFL has produced engineers that have gone on to be part of startups such as Deep Space Industries. Along the way they also turned their original idea into a business. A business that is growing.  Today, SFL employs over 50 people and they have 18 satellites to their credit that have been launched to orbit that are performing well.  Currently they have 15 satellites in development and that number is increasing.  In my wide ranging interview with Robert you'll learn a little of SFL's history, their innovations, future plans and some of the challenges they face as small satellites go beyond low earth orbit.

Literature and training in diversity and multiculturalism typically emphasize cultural differences–how to identify them, and the importance of honoring them. But does such an emphasis neglect other important dimensions of cross-cultural relating? Brent Willock, Lori Bohm, and Rebecca Curtis, editors of the book Psychoanalytic Perspectives on Identity and Difference: Navigating the Divide (Routledge, 2017), argue that finding similarities in our universal human longings and experiences are also key. Their book contains contributions from various experts describing how they navigate the divide of difference, with patient, everyday people, and within themselves. In our interview, we delve into these topics and discuss clinical and non-clinical examples to illustrate how these concepts come to life. Our discussion, and the book, are timely and relevant to our universal struggle to understand and connect with one another. Brent Willock is president of the Toronto Institute for Contemporary Psychoanalysis, Board Member of the Canadian Institute for Child and Adolescent Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy, and on the faculty of the Institute for the Advancement of Self Psychology.
