Drawing on their professional and academic experience, Ravin Jesuthasan and John Boudreau argue the current work “operating system” is increasingly unable to meet the needs of employees and employers. They join the Talent Angle to discuss their new book, Work Without Jobs: How to Reboot Your Organization's Work Operating System, and the opportunities for HR to shape a new vision for the future of work. Jesuthasan and Boudreau propose a new work “operating system” based on deconstructed work and deconstructed talent that would ultimately lead to a more human-centric approach to work. In their new vision for the future of work, they emphasize the importance of developing capabilities that will enable organizations to redesign and reinvent work and the employee experience. Ravin Jesuthasan is the global leader of Mercer's Transformation Services business.  He has led multiple research efforts on the global workforce, the emerging digital economy, the rise of artificial intelligence and the transformation of work. Ravin has led numerous research projects for the World Economic Forum including many of its ground-breaking studies on the transformation of work and the global workforce. He is a regular participant and presenter at the World Economic Forum's annual meeting in Davos and is a member of the forum's Steering Committee on Work and Employment. He is the author of the books Transformative HR (Wiley, 2012), Lead The Work: Navigating a World Beyond Employment (Wiley 2015), Reinventing Jobs: A 4-Step Approach to Applying Automation to Work (HBR Press, 2018) and the Wall Street Journal bestseller; Work Without Jobs: How to Reboot Your Organization's Work Operating System (MIT Press, 2022). Dr. John Boudreau is recognized worldwide as a leading evidence-based visionary on the future of work and organization. Dr. Boudreau is Professor Emeritus of Management and Organization and a Senior Research Scientist with the Center for Effective Organizations, at the Marshall School of Business, University of Southern California.

Ο Θανάσης Δρίτσας συνομιλεί με τον Ομότιμο Καθηγητή της Ιατρικής Σχολής του Πανεπιστημίου Πατρών κ. Ηλία Δ. Κούβελα με αφορμή την έκδοση του βιβλίου του με τίτλο «Ιχνηλατώντας τα μονοπάτια του Εγκεφάλου και του Νου» που κυκλοφορεί από τις εκδόσεις Καστανιώτη. Μια συνομιλία που επί της ουσίας συνιστά ένα ταξίδι στα μονοπάτια της σύγχρονης νευροεπιστήμης που αφορούν μεταξύ άλλων τη σχέση της νευροεπιστήμης με τομείς όπως η ψυχολογία, η ψυχανάλυση, η ψυχιατρική και η τέχνη. Με βάση τις πληροφορίες που περιέχονται στο βιβλίο του καθ. Ηλία Κούβελα είναι εξαιρετικά δύσκολο να κατανοήσουμε την δομή και την λειτουργία του εγκεφάλου διότι, σε πλήρη αντίθεση με την τεχνητή νοημοσύνη, ο εγκέφαλος δεν δημιουργήθηκε προκειμένου να επιτευχθεί ένας συγκεκριμένος στόχος με βάση κάποιον αρχικό σχεδιασμό. Η μηχανή της εξέλιξης φαίνεται ότι είναι η μόνη υπεύθυνη για τη δημιουργία του εγκεφάλου.Ηλίας Δ. Κούβελας - βιογραφικόΟ Ηλίας Δ. Κούβελας είναι Ομότιμος Καθηγητής του Πανεπιστημίου Πατρών, όπου διετέλεσε Καθηγητής Φυσιολογίας και Διευθυντής του Εργαστηρίου Φυσιολογίας.

Welcome to this Mad in America podcast. My name is Robert Whitaker, and I'm happy today to have the pleasure of speaking with Joanna Moncrieff. Dr. Moncrieff is a psychiatrist who works in the National Health Service in the United Kingdom. She is a Professor of Critical and Social Psychiatry at University College, London. In 1990 she co-founded the Critical Psychiatry Network, which today has about 400 psychiatrist members, about two-thirds of whom are in the United Kingdom. From my perspective, the Critical Psychiatry Network has been at the forefront of making a broad critique of the disease model of care. Without this network, I don't think that critique would be anywhere near as prominent or as sophisticated as it is today. Dr. Moncrieff is a prolific researcher and writer. Her books include De-Medicalizing Misery, The Bitterest Pills: The Troubling Story of Antipsychotic Drugs, and The Myth of the Chemical Cure. Her latest book is titled Chemically Imbalanced: The Making and Unmaking of the Serotonin Myth. This book in many ways is a follow-up to her 2022 paper which looked at the serotonin story and concluded that there was no good evidence that a serotonergic deficiency was a primary cause of depression. It caused quite a furor within the media and in psychiatry. *** A full transcript of this interview is availabe here: https://www.madinamerica.com/2025/04/chemically-imbalanced-joanna-moncrieff-making-unmaking-serotonin-myth/  Thank you for being with us to listen to the podcast and read our articles this year.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the French philosopher Maurice Merleau-Ponty (1908-1961), who was part of the movement known as phenomenology. While less well-known than his contemporaries Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir, his popularity has increased among philosophers in recent years. Merleau-Ponty rejected Rene Descartes' division between body and mind, arguing that the way we perceive the world around us cannot be separated from our experience of inhabiting a physical body. Merleau-Ponty was interested in the down-to-earth question of what it is actually like to live in the world. While performing actions as simple as brushing our teeth or patting a dog, we shape the world and, in turn, the world shapes us.

Hace entre 6 y 7 millones de años, humanos y chimpancés compartieron un ancestro común. Desde entonces, ambos evolucionaron por caminos distintos, adaptándose a sus respectivos entornos. Un estudio internacional, en el que participó Aida Andrés, investigadora del University College of London y nuestra invitada en Hablando con Científicos, analizó el ADN de chimpancés salvajes extraído de muestras fecales de poblaciones repartidas en distintos hábitats africanos, como selvas densas o zonas abiertas y más áridas cercanas a la sabana. Los resultados revelaron la existencia de adaptaciones genéticas locales, especialmente frente a enfermedades como la malaria. Estas diferencias muestran cómo los genes cambian según el ambiente. Los hallazgos contribuyen a entender tanto la evolución de los chimpancés como la del ser humano.

Fibromyalgia, ärtyvän suoli, krooninen väsymysoireyhtymä, pitkittynyt borrelioosi tai koronatauti. Siinä muutamia tiloja, joille on tyypillistä monenlainen oirekuva: uupumus, aivosumu, lihassärky. Nämä ihmiset kärsivät eivätkä he yleensä saa riittävää hoitoa terveydenhuollosta. Siksi HUSiin on perustettu pitkittyneiden oireiden kuntoutuspoliklinikka. Joku yksittäinen kehoon tai psyykkeeseen liittyvä seikka ei selitä oireilua, vaan se johtuu monesta tekijästä. Tutkimus on osoittanut, että biopsykososiaalisesa stressijärjestelmässä on häiriö. Mitä tekemistä on varhaisella kiintymyssuhteella? Toimittaja Teija Peltoniemi keskusteli aiheesta University College of Londonin professorin Peter Fonagyn sekä dosentti Helena Liiran kanssa. Liira oli perustamassa HUSin pitkittyneiden oireiden klinikkaa.

The event offers keynotes, panels, hands-on workshops, and networking opportunities focused on the future of mobile storytelling and digital engagement, giving attendees a great opportunity to network and connect to learn from the best in the industry. Attendees can expect to learn from over 30 speakers, including recognised creators like Hannah Wilson and Jacque (Jacqueline) Smith, VP of digital video CNN and explore the latest mobile technology Comment on what to expert as I would have described it as a former attendee: For attendees, words cannot describe the motivation and inspiration you will get from this event, along with the global community of creatent creator connections and the amazing opportunity to learn hands-on from these industry experts in the workshops. Mojofest, Dublin, 28th, 29th April When and where is it on? 28th & 29th April, 2025 - UCD, In the O'Reilly Hall Conference Centre, University College, Belfield, Dublin 4 How many years has it been going? It started as RTÉ Mojocon in 2015 when I was head of innovation. It ran for 3 years until I took an exit package and started Mojofest in 2018. This is the 4th Mojofest (disrupted by Covid) but also the 10-year anniversary of our first Mojocon event which was at the CCD in Dublin. What was the inspiration to start it? Mainly frustration to be honest. I'd started training media organisations in Mobile Journalism in 2011 and was getting great feedback on the training but not much progress on implementation and transformation. After meeting several other early adopters like Nick Garnett and Marc Settle from BBC, John Inge Johansen from NRK, Illico Elia formerly Reuters and Len Clarke from Notre Dame University it became clear that there was a need for a network and an event seemed like the logical way to create one. That network, started after RTÉ Mojocon as a group on Facebook in 2015 now has over 7500 members from over 100 countries. What exciting things can people look forward to? We are just about to announce Jacque (Jacqueline) Smith, VP of digital video with CNN will be keynoting on day one and day two we have Hannah Wilson who has a social following of 750k across platforms both of whom speak about the top trends and tips for success with social/digital/vertical storytelling. We have 16 workshops already announced and expect there will be even more over the event. Many of these are practical hands-on learning sessions will be of real value for attendees who want to acquire/perfect new skills. The expo will be full of the leading brands making apps and accessories for professional grade mobile content creation. Many will have special event only prices and offers. What opportunities are on offer for those attending? We are hosting a networking event on Monday night in the city centre and I'm hoping to run a quiz with prizes and giveaways at it also. Who will be speaking? https://mojofest.eu/alllspeakers Keynote speaker, day 1: Jacque (Jacqueline) Smith, VP of digital video CNN Keynote speaker, day 2: Hannah Wilson, Content Creator / Influencer And unlike so many other events we have almost no "commercial" speakers. Our speakers are predominantly on stage, some for the first time, because they have a great, inspiring story to share. What tips would you give to people attending to get the most out of? Our motto has always been Inspire | Equip | Educate so to make the most of the experience attend as many sessions as you can. Grab some bargains and network like crazy! How can people book tickets? https://mojofest.eu Anything else you'd like to add / we should have asked? We have several sessions on AI this year as that has been the big new development in the last two years. If you have only a vague idea of the creative p...

En este artículo se presenta un minucioso trabajo de identificación de los distintos espacios agrarios asociados a la acequia Gorda, uno de los principales canales de agua de época medieval en la Vega de Granada (sureste de la península Ibérica). Esta identificación está basada en la caracterización morfológica, combinando el trabajo directo de campo con el estudio de la cartografía histórica y la fotografía aérea, y una identificación toponímica a partir de documentos árabes y traducidos. Así, se proponen algunas pautas para comprender la evolución de este gran espacio agrícola que comenzó a partir de pequeñas huertas en época andalusí y que acabaría conformando una gran vega a finales de la Edad Media. Historia Agraria, 94. https://doi.org/10.26882/hista...

This episode features Russell Duvernoy, PhD, Associate Professor of Philosophy at King's University College at Western University in London, Ontario. We discuss Russell's engagement with process philosophies, environmental philosophy, contemporary Continental philosophy, and comparative philosophy (including classical Daoism, Mahayana Buddhist philosophy, and world Indigenous philosophies).

Some of these topics are covered in his monograph, Affect and Attention after Deleuze and Whitehead: Ecological Attunement (Edinburgh University Press, 2020).

The proliferation of remote and hybrid work has forced managers and HR leaders to rethink how they keep tabs on workforce productivity. Meanwhile, emerging technologies like generative AI have raised expectations for what future productivity can look like. While productivity has always been elusive to define and measure in the context of knowledge work, today's environment has further challenged organizations to develop new strategies. Paulo Pisano, CHRO of Booking Holdings, joins the Gartner Talent Angle podcast to offer his perspective on HR's role in boosting productivity. Touching on the linearity of work and the relationship between stress and performance, he shares actionable guidance for HR leaders looking to harness the full potential of their workforce.

This week we review a report from the teams at University College, Dublin and Texas Children's Hospital about a collaborative approach to education in which two centers across the globe participate in a shared fellow learning conference. In this conference which is aimed at fellow education, topics are chosen and discussed with facilitated learning from faculty at both sites. What can be gained for fellows on opposite sides of the Atlantic that cannot be learned from exposure to just their one site? How did this approach help fellows learn about how to deal with uncertainty in decision making? How did this trans-continental learning approach enhance patient and team communication? These are amongst the many questions posed to senior cardiologist and senior author of this week's work, Professor Colin McMahon of University College, Dublin, Ireland.   ·         DOI: 10.1007/s00246-024-03469-x

Si durante la Edad Media se comía polvo de momia triturado como remedio médico cuasi mágico, ahora una reciente investigación llevada a cabo por la University College de Londres y la Universidad de Ljubljana están averiguando si las momias huelen dulces, picantes o a madera. Sus resultados serán compartidos con aquellos que visiten el museo del Cairo en Egipto, una vez hayan concluido la investigación. 

Send us a text message and tell us your thoughts.Join Strictly Facts as we uncover the hidden stories of the Caribbean's military past, featuring the intriguing West India Regiments established by the British Army. Our guest, Isaac Crichlow, a graduate student from the University College of London, helps us explore the paradoxical roles of these soldiers, who found themselves fighting both for and against colonial powers, shedding light on their complex identities and the duality of their existence.We delve into the precarious position of enslaved African soldiers within the British Empire, where promises of freedom often clashed with the harsh reality of servitude. Additionally, we highlight the tensions between allegiance to the British Empire and racial identity, illustrating how these men navigated their challenging roles, sometimes embracing British military ideology and other times resisting it. Our conversation culminates in a discussion about the enduring legacy of the West India Regiments and their significant, yet frequently overlooked, contributions to global conflicts like the Napoleonic Wars. We celebrate WIR soldiers' diverse backgrounds and shared experiences and amplify their impact on both Caribbean and world histories.Isaac Crichlow is a PhD student researching Caribbean history at UCL. He is primarily interested in the transference of African culture to the Caribbean through transatlantic enslavement, and it's use by the enslaved in new contexts as a tool for resistance and survival. His research, funded through a studentship with the Centre for the Study of the Legacies of British Slavery (CSLBS) focuses on the West India Regiments, units of formerly enslaved African soldiers. It examines the core function of the regiments, analyses the treatment of the soldiers by the British Army, and looks at how the soldiers reacted to their treatment by military. Through this approach he creates a different interpretation of the provenance of the WIRs, their role in Caribbean slave society and relationship with the British Army. Sign up for Sendwave and you will receive a $20 credit for your first transfer!

“I can't just sit there and watch life pass me by - I wasn't built for that,” says Keisha Robinson, a Brian Connection with this one. They first met when she ushered him to a seat at an AODA (Accessibility For Ontarians With Disabilities Act) round table event at King's University College, at Western for International Day For Persons With Disabilities. When, in fact, we have a more personal family/community connection to our first 2025 guest. Our first guest of the year and of February, Keisha Robinson describes herself as a social butterfly, now, but what was it that made her come out of her shell? She grew up with pain, was labeled “drama queen,” and with a diagnosis realised it all finally made sense. Keisha shares about her life lived (before and after) the progressively deteriorating muscular disease diagnosis she received as a teenager, about the umbrella of various symptoms and deterioration predictions and timelines of Muscular Dystrophy (MD, and the philosophy she has gained with her plans with work giving back to sick children in hospital and her study of disability. Robinson is working towards a double major in Childhood and youth studies and Thanatology—which is the study of death, dying, grief, and loss including all sorts of non-death losses. This week on Outlook we're learning more about her studies and discussing how to demystify loss and grief and normalise the open dialogue on these parts of life we all share. We explore the inaccessibility to be found out there (IE housing design) and hear about how it is to get around Western and King's University College as a wheelchair user, not to mention around the city she lives in, along with some of her tools for doing that. So while one host says he doesn't miss a friend he's never met, the guest might miss ice skating or swimming, while the other two hosts might miss seeing colours or video games and that's the cross-disability perspective in an example of a non-death loss we've been navigating grief over. It's one really important part of the “Outlook” umbrella we're showcasing on this show and with guests here, both past and present.

Joseph is a 2L at Ohio Northern University College of Law and works as a Legal Assistant at Swartz, Culleton, and Ferris. Joseph's journey to Law School is full of twists, turns, and amazing insights! Joseph and I start at his graduation from Wyoming Catholic College where he graduated with a degree in Liberal Arts. We would discuss his experience at Lowes, which offered extremely valuable people skills and laid the foundations for skills he still uses to this day, further offering the importance of those odd jobs. We then spoke about his 2 years at NJM Insurance Group where Joseph would be taking up to 100 phone calls a day. As well it was also a job through LinkedIn, showing how important it is to put yourself out there. Joesph also gained new perspectives and got a peek into the insurance world. We then moved to Joseph's entry into Ohio Northern University College of Law. We spoke about what went into his decision to enter law school and the important mentors he had along the way. Joseph would speak about his first year of law school, which he both loved and hated. He loved the school part but felt it was socially difficult due to its competitive nature. He gives the advice to treat it like a job. Finally, Joseph and I spoke about the internships he has held along the way, finding the specialization he wants to do through them. Joseph would also harp on the idea of avoiding the social problems and drama that come with law school, and always take the opportunity to talk to those not a part of the Law School, to take your mind off things. This episode with Joseph is an episode full of intelligent insights, and finding the systems, tools, and strategies that work for you, all through the power of action!

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss slime mould, a basic organism that grows on logs, cowpats and compost heaps. Scientists have found difficult to categorise slime mould: in 1868, the biologist Thomas Huxley asked: ‘Is this a plant, or is it an animal? Is it both or is it neither?' and there is a great deal scientists still don't know about it. But despite not having a brain, slime mould can solve complex problems: it can find the most efficient way round a maze and has been used to map Tokyo's rail network. Researchers are using it to help find treatments for cancer, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease, and computer scientists have designed an algorithm based on slime mould behaviour to learn about dark matter. It's even been sent to the international space station to help study the effects of weightlessness.

Episode Summary Mother-Son duo, Brenda Wilson, Ph.D., professor of microbiology and the Associate Director of Undergraduate Education in the School of Molecular and Cellular Biology at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign and Brian Ho, Ph.D., researcher and lecturer at the Institute of structural and molecular biology, a joint institute between the Department of structural and molecular biology at the University College of London and the Department of Biological Sciences at Birkbeck University of London discuss the inspiration and motivation for their recent book, Revenge of the Microbes: How Bacterial Resistance is Undermining the Antibiotic Miracle, 2nd Edition, emphasizing the global nature of AMR and providing a unique perspective on what is needed to solve it. Ashley's Biggest Takeaways: Dynamics surrounding the AMR crisis are complex and require an understanding of many different perspectives, including those of the farmers, health care professionals, pharmaceutical companies and individuals, in order to foster true and lasting global collaboration on the issue. Point-of-care diagnostics are critical to improving treatment decisions and reducing hospital costs. Better communication and education are needed in order to rebuild trust in scientists and institutions. Continuous research is necessary, as AMR will continue to evolve. Citizens are a key piece of the puzzle when it comes to pushing for change and supporting solutions to AMR. Featured Quotes: Wilson: “I'll start with actually my Ph.D., which is talking about bacterial antibiotic biosynthesis. And so, I did some work in that arena, but since then, I've actually been working on bacterial protein toxins. These are very potent eukaryotic modulators that when bacteria get into the host, they release these proteins that are very large, that are able to interact with very specific cells. They actually get inside the cells—into the cytosol—and then they affect various signaling pathways in the host that can go anywhere from killing the cell to modulating some of the processes that the cell undertakes, even differentiating them and causing cancer. So, one of my main focuses in my lab has always been to understand the structure and function of these toxins, to understand how they affect the eukaryotic cell system. And then now that we know a lot about them, we're actually moving more into the direction of trying to basically use them as biologics. We have some platforms that we call bacterial toxin inspired drug delivery, where we're using the mechanisms of how they work and their exquisite specificities to be able to actually use them for therapeutic applications.” Ho: “I got my start doing molecular genetics, actually, with John Mekalanos at Harvard, and I was kind of at the ground floor of the seminal work looking at the Type VI secretion system. And so, I got a front row seat to the kind of discovery and a lot of the initial understanding of the system. And I've kind of taken that work and expanded beyond it to look at kind of the ways different bacteria interact with each other within microbial communities. So my current work is looking at both DNA conjugation as well as the type six antagonism, and how the bacterial interactions kind of work together to build a larger population dynamics and interface with like the hosts that kind of house a your microbial communities.” Antimicrobial Resistance Wilson: “In 2005 [when the first edition of Revenge of the Microbes was written], there was very little activity or understanding about antibiotic resistance and how important it was. Outside of the field, doctors were encountering it. But oftentimes what was happening is they just said, ‘Oh, well, we'll just find another drug, you know.' And pharmaceutical companies, they were recognizing that there was a problem, and they would go off trying to hunt for new ones. And then right around the late 90s, there was a big impetus, because they thought, ‘Oh, we, we have a miracle here, because we now do complete genomes. We can get out the comparative genomics and all the high throughput things, all the animations,' and that this would lead to many more new discoveries. And I think the pharmaceutical companies were very disappointed, and they started backing out of what they deemed a huge commitment. Two decades later, people already were starting to get aware, at least in the field, and even the industry and the physicians. People were getting aware, but I think that they were stumbling, because of their silos, in trying to get interactions with each other. And I think part of it was that they felt that, ‘Oh, we can try to solve it ourselves.' And in reality, this is a problem that that is concerning everyone, and everyone is contributing to it. Everyone has to find a solution to help, and we need to have more synergy. There have to be more interactions, and we have to do this at a much more global scale. And so that was sort of what, what we thought when we first started the [2nd edition of the book, Revenge of the Microbes].” Ho: “At that point, I was just starting my new faculty position, and so I started having to teach students directly. And a lot of students were coming in and giving their presentation on their research proposal or project that they have, and they very adamantly declared the reason why we have antibiotic resistance. ‘The problem is because doctors are over prescribing antibiotics.' And I'm scratching my head—a little like, ‘Hmm, that's a really confident statement that you're making.' Next student comes in and they're talking about, ‘Oh, it's all the farmers that are overusing antibiotics and causing the problem.' And then the next student comes in like, “Oh, the greedy corporations or pharmaceutical industry is trying to milk us for everything, and antibiotics are not profitable enough.' And, and I'm sitting here listening to the students who have a very narrow perspective. And clearly, they're getting it from whoever is teaching their classes. And so, it feels like every single perspective at every single stage, they only see things through their own eyes, and can't understand what the broader perspective is and why you have all these various different problems, and I guess we call them stakeholders in the thing. It is that that every different angle has its own personal motivations. Corporations do need to have money and persist to exist. Doctors, if you encounter a patient that is dying, well, you have a moral compulsion to actually treat them. And farmers having their livestock, well, their livelihood is at stake if they don't have their animals survive, right? And so, what I think was really important that we wanted to do is present the problem of antibiotic resistance and the way it works and why it's an issue, but also convey different perspectives on it, so that if people can kind of understand where everybody else is coming from, we can come together and have a more unified perspective, or understanding, at least, so that you're not thinking that everybody is this malicious actor, and you can actually work together to come with up with a complete solution.” Wilson: “The first book, was very important, because you needed to get people's attention right, right? But we got the attention. So, now let's come up with a plan! And we don't have a good plan. People are making progress. People are moving in the directions that need to be moved, coming up with alternatives, coming up with, you know, even financial solutions, to some extent. They're not enough, still, and it's going to take a global community to come forward and buy in to the problem. And I think we still have a large sector of our whole global community that are not really fully aware of what really this problem entails. They hear on the media and the news, ‘Oh, the crisis is here. We're in danger.' And then a year later, they say, ‘Well, what happened? Nothing's happened.' It hasn't impacted their lives yet, right? Or at least not in a way that they've noticed. And I think this is why we need more awareness. We need to get the word out there. We need to actually start having folks that make some of the big decisions, both financially, regulatory and other types of things, like education.” Ho: “One really big problem I think that COVID introduced us to, is that it's not just that we have to convince everybody it's important, but we have to also get people, in general, the population, to trust us. You know, that there is a problem. There's been a kind of an erosion in the trustworthiness, or trust in the institutions that we relied upon that are responsible for keeping everybody safe and healthy. And I think a big part of that is also communication education, that the populace needs to be better educated, but the communication level of people in charge, as well as researchers like us—we need to speak to the people in a way that people can understand.” Wilson: “We're not saying that we have a solution, but we do have some directions that, in many areas, have started, and we feel that they need more support. And we're hoping that folks that are reading the book actually appreciate that aspect of it, and then start realizing that, ‘Hey, I'm part of this solution too.' It can be very little—being mindful of making sure that we have clean water, making sure that we have food security, making sure that we stay healthy and, therefore, we don't have as many infections, right? Just little things like that that we can actually do as individuals, that as a whole population, will actually contribute to improving the situation. Then, of course, we have to support our leaders in making some of the decisions. We have to let them know that we care about this. And I think at this stage, what we're hoping is that we can maybe encourage some folks to take a citizen stand on this, to ask questions, to start going and probing and saying, ‘Hey, congress person, what are you doing about this?' And maybe just start the dialog. This is all we're doing, is starting a dialog.” Links for the Episode: The 2nd Edition of Revenge of the Microbes, details the intricacies of the antibiotic-microbe arms race. Beginning with a historical perspective on antibiotics and their profound impact on both modern medicine and present-day society. It also examines the practices and policies driving the discovery and development of new antibiotics, what happens to antibiotics once they are released into the environment, how antibiotic-resistant bacteria evolve and spread and the urgency for finding alternative approaches to combating infections.

What can early Jewish courtroom narratives tell us about the capacity and limits of human justice? By exploring how judges and the act of judging are depicted in these narratives, Trial Stories in Jewish Antiquity: Counternarratives of Justice (Oxford University Press, 2024), Chaya T. Halberstam challenges the prevailing notion, both then and now, of the ideal impartial judge. As a work of intellectual history, the book also contributes to contemporary debates about the role of legal decision-making in shaping a just society. Halberstam shows that instead of modelling a system in which lofty, inaccessible judges follow objective and rational rules, ancient Jewish trial narratives depict a legal practice dependent upon the individual judge's personal relationships, reactive emotions, and impulse to care. Drawing from affect theory and feminist legal thought, Halberstam offers original readings of some of the most famous trials in ancient Jewish writings alongside minor case stories in Josephus and rabbinic literature. She shows both the consistency of a counter-tradition that sees legal practice as contingent upon relationship and emotion, and the specific ways in which that perspective was manifest in changing times and contexts. Interviewee: Chaya T. Halberstam is Professor of Religious Studies at King's University College, University of Western Ontario. Host: Schneur Zalman Newfield is an Associate Professor of Sociology and Jewish Studies at Hunter College, City University of New York, and the author of Degrees of Separation: Identity Formation While Leaving Ultra-Orthodox Judaism (Temple University Press).

Today's poem is a roller-coaster of machismo and vulnerability in that most singular of places–the poetry section of a small bookstore. Happy reading.Kingsley Amis (1922–1995) was a popular and prolific British novelist, poet, satirist, and critic. Born in suburban South London, the only child of a clerk in the office of the mustard-maker Colman's, he won an English scholarship to St John's College, Oxford, where he began a lifelong friendship with fellow student Philip Larkin. Following service in the British Army's Royal Corps of Signals during World War II, he completed his degree and joined the faculty at the University College of Swansea in Wales. Lucky Jim, his first novel, appeared in 1954 to great acclaim and won a Somerset Maugham Award. Ultimately he published twenty-four novels, including science fiction and a James Bond sequel; more than a dozen collections of poetry, short stories, and literary criticism; restaurant reviews and three books about drinking; political pamphlets and a memoir; and more. Amis received the Booker Prize for his novel The Old Devils in 1986 and was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 1990.-bio via NYRB This is a public episode.

Andrew is a current 2L at Ohio Northern University College of Law. Andrew's journey is far from linear, going down multiple avenues before finally entering the doors of Law School. Andrew and I started years before he stepped into a Law School classroom. He would graduate from Malone University and begin to pursue working in Public policy and government. He held a plethora of internships and jobs but also hit some roadblocks along the way. Andrew would miss out on a fellowship and not get two positions, but he constantly sent follow-ups and thank you's to those missed opportunities, which would lead to more opportunities for him. After having to start from scratch, and begin to bounce from Odd Job to odd job, Andrew finally decided it was time to head off to Law School. And indeed he did, landing himself at Ohio Northern University Claude Pettit College of Law. Throughout the entire conversation, Andrew spoke heavily about how faith played a role in his life, through all the ups and downs, as well as throughout Law School thus far. Finally, Andrew and I spoke about his first year, which was challenging, with an environment of survival and advancement. After years of not being in school, it was a huge adjustment to the school environment. Andrew would pick up a ton of newfound techniques that would propel him to Law School success, such as using a whiteboard for studying, recording himself on the topics for that end of the semester's test, and even using one of our sponsors, Lisa Blassers Pre-recorded course (lisablasser.com, Code LSOSNATE10 at checkout) to supplement his Law School Experience. Andrew's Journey represents the tagline of this podcast: there is no straight path to the Law or Law School, only your unique journey. Andrew's is one of the most unique I have come across.

Jeannette is joined by Dr Kameel Khan,a lawyer, judge, and founder of Project Remake, about his inspiring journey from Trinidad to the UK and his commitment to social justice. Kameel shares his early influences, including the civil unrest in Trinidad and the impact of his parents' belief in education. He also discusses his experiences defending death row inmates and the complexities of the justice system, highlighting the importance of understanding the human stories behind offenders. KEY TAKEAWAYS The journey into law and social justice was significantly influenced by early education and the support of family, highlighting the role of encouragement and vision in shaping one's future. Understanding the personal stories and backgrounds of offenders is crucial. They are not just statistics; they are individuals with families and potential who deserve a second chance. Project Remake, which started at Stanford University, focuses on entrepreneurship training for formerly incarcerated individuals, achieving a remarkable 6% reoffending rate compared to the national average of 54%. The financial burden of incarceration is significant, with costs reaching £50,000 per year per inmate. Investing in rehabilitation and employment opportunities for ex-offenders can lead to better societal outcomes and reduced costs. BEST MOMENTS "We have had 120 graduates, and we have had a 6% reoffending rate... The national average is near 54% in the first year and 70% in the second year." "We want to live in a society that doesn't write people off, that gives people a second chance." "How do we break that sort of aspect of judgment around this whole topic? Because I think that's a really big blocker as well, the perception." "It's very interesting... finding your voice is a huge thing... realising you could only be you, everyone else is taken." This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANT.

Over the next few months, Dean's Chat will be providing bonus episodes interviewing students from the Schools and Colleges of Podiatric Medicine. This week Drs. Jensen and Richey are joined by two students from Samuel Merritt University College of Podiatric Medicine (SMUCPM); Harjit Badyal, and Susanna Oppong. Both represent the American Podiatric Medical Students Association (APMSA) within SMUCPM. This episode is sponsored by Bako Diagnostics! Join our discussions each week on the podiatric journey our students are embarking on at the various schools. Students share their path to discovering podiatric medicine, to applying to what is now eleven schools and colleges of podiatric medicine, to the first and second year of didactics, Boards Part 1 and 2, and clinical experiences and opportunities. We do some professor shout-outs and discuss student services, extracurricular activities, and student life at each school. Enjoy! In this episode, Drs. Jensen and Richey and the students discuss the significance of shadowing various health professionals to determine career preferences and find satisfaction in their chosen field. The hosts specifically mention that podiatrists tend to be very happy with their careers due to the wide range of specialization options available to them. They explain that podiatrists can focus on areas they truly enjoy, which contributes to their overall job satisfaction. The students mention their personal experiences with shadowing and how it influenced their career decisions. The students emphasize the importance of shadowing multiple specialties to determine personal preferences. They emphasize that understanding other specialties is valuable even for those pursuing podiatry, as it helps in comprehending the body's other systems and treating patients holistically. The students note that many podiatrists they have worked with and shadowed are incredibly satisfied with their careers. While they acknowledge that satisfaction can be found in other specialties as well, they observe this as a common theme within the podiatry profession. They also mention that students from all schools of podiatric medicine are incredibly happy with their choice to pursue podiatry. In this episode, we discuss the importance of students taking advantage of opportunities for involvement and support from organizations like APMSA. They emphasize that being involved in organizations like APMSA allows students to have a voice and make a change at the national level. They mention that APMSA provides various opportunities for students, such as hosting webinars on different topics like mental health and clerkship advice. Overall, the episode emphasizes the benefits of shadowing different health professionals to help students determine their career preferences and find satisfaction in their chosen field. It underscores the importance of exploring various specialties, including podiatry, and understanding different aspects of healthcare to make informed decisions. https://www.apmsa.org/ https://bakodx.com/ https://bmef.org/ www.explorepodmed.org https://podiatrist2be.com/ https://higherlearninghub.com/

Last week, the press focused on what the press repeatedly characterized as an “ugly” fight between American college football players that broke out after the University of Michigan beat The Ohio State. But another story received less attention. Medrick Burnett Jr., a 20 year old from Southern California was playing his first season as a linebacker with Alabama A&M University when he sustained a head injury during the annual Magic City Classic against in-state rivals Alabama State University on Oct. 26. A month later, Burnett died. Today's Postscript features two prominent scholars of sports raising questions about the hypocrisy of blaming players for a fight yet downplaying the death caused by playing by the rules. This remarkable conversation includes an unpacking of the “consent” to physical, psychological, and economic impacts, insight into the Foucauldian elements of discipline, punishment, and surveillance, and concrete reform suggestions for all people who watch football and/or work at universities. This nuanced conversation is for those who love or loathe football as a college sport.

Nordic Fascism: Fragments of an Entangled History (Routledge, 2022) is the first comprehensive history in English of fascism in the Nordic countries. Transnational cooperation between radical nationalists has especially been the case in Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and Finland, where fascism has not only developed through interdependent processes but also through interactions between and beyond national boundaries, and where "racial relationship" has been a core argument. With chapters ranging from the inception of fascism in the interwar years up to the present day, this book offers the first fragments of an entangled history of Nordic fascism. It illuminates how The North occupies a special place in the fascist imagination, articulating ideas about the Nordic people resisting the supposed cultural degeneration, replacement, or annihilation of the white race. The authors map ideological exchange between fascist organisations in the Nordic countries and outline past and present attempts at pan-Nordic state building. This book will appeal to scholars of fascism and Nordic history, and readers interested in the general history of fascism.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the Austrian-British economist Friedrich Hayek's The Road to Serfdom (1944) in which Hayek (1899-1992) warned that the way Britain was running its wartime economy would not work in peacetime and could lead to tyranny. His target was centralised planning, arguing this disempowered individuals and wasted their knowledge, while empowering those ill-suited to run an economy. He was concerned about the support for the perceived success of Soviet centralisation, when he saw this and Fascist systems as two sides of the same coin. When Reader's Digest selectively condensed Hayek's book in 1945, and presented it not so much as a warning against tyranny as a proof against socialism, it became phenomenally influential around the world.
