For about 10 years, researchers at the University of Washington’s Personal Robotics Lab have been developing a robotic arm that can help people with motor impairments, such as quadriplegics, feed themselves. That’s a task they may rely on human caregivers to do. The Assistive Dexterous Arm can be mounted onto a surface such as a power wheelchair or hospital table. With vision and touch sensors, ADA can determine how to best grasp and maneuver a bite of chicken or watermelon, for example, toward a user’s mouth.  The lived experiences of people with disabilities are often ignored in the development of new technologies that could benefit them, according to Amal Nanavati, a recent PhD graduate from the UW’s Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering. But that isn’t the case with the ADA project. Dozens of people with motor impairments have provided feedback and guidance on it over the years, and some have even taken on the role of “community researchers” working alongside the UW robotics team.  Jonathan Ko is a Seattle-based patent attorney and ADA community researcher who brought the device home to feed himself meals for a week. He and Nanavati are authors on a recently published paper describing this real-world testing of the technology. They join us to talk about what they learned and share their thoughts on the future of robot-assisted caregiving.

Whether it’s smartphones or sneakers, toys or tents, about 80% of commercial goods are transported to markets around the world using giant container ships. As global shipping routes grow to meet increasing demand, so too does the likelihood of fatal collisions with whale species whose ranges overlap with them.  Researchers at the University of Washington led a team of international scientists who measured, for the first time, the risk of ship strikes worldwide among humpback, blue, fin and sperm whales. They found that 92% of global shipping traffic overlaps with the habitats of these whales. Meanwhile, only 7% of the hotspots in the world’s oceans where the risk of collisions between whales and ships is greatest have any measures in place to protect the marine mammals.  Anna Nisi is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Washington’s Center for Ecosystem Sentinels, and the lead author of the recently published paper. She joins us to share her findings and what might be done to protect whales threatened by the multi-billion dollar shipping industry.

144: With extensive experience at some of the biggest companies in retail, food & beverage, and technology, Maggie has stepped into new roles, new industries, and new businesses and transformed teams and businesses from the ground up over and over again. In her most recent corporate role working as Chief of Staff leader to a President at a Fortune 40 company — a multibillion-dollar business with 5,000+ employees — Maggie built the president's Chief of Staff model from the ground up. In doing so, she created a highly successful team, drove major organizational efficiencies, and implemented executive back-office processes and structure that will be in place for years to come. Maggie has 20 years' experience leading large teams and has spent her career focused on both the customer and employee experience. Working for Nordstrom early in her career solidified her passion for customer experience, where she spent 6 years, first as a Buyer working in 5 different buying offices, and then with the Technology team, honing Business Process and Project Management skills building user tools. While working at Nordstrom, Maggie went to graduate school in 2015. During the MBA program at the University of Washington's Foster Business School, she was recruited for an ultra-competitive Executive Development Program with T-Mobile. Here she led a district of stores to success in an industry she'd never worked in and a city that was new to her, presenting her business to company leaders every month. She then moved into a Retail Strategy role working on Human Strategy for new store concepts, building on her digital presentation and storytelling skills. When COVID hit and retail was shuttered, Maggie led the COVID Response initiative for the retail organization, mobilizing 26k retail employees to work in the back of closed stores through Virtual and Telesales pilot programs. From here, she moved into the Chief of Staff position for the President of the B2B organization. As the owner of Nova Chief of Staff, Maggie leads the Chief of Staff Certification course and coaches Chiefs of Staff. She is also a fractional Chief of Staff consultant, focused on helping mission-driven, for-profit startup founders scale their businesses quickly. In her spare time, Maggie loves spending time outside with her husband, their animals, and their 1-year-old, Max! Links:

One of my students, his name is, Brian has an amazing, amazing, amazing story. One of his biggest things I want to show people is how to take that dream and put action behind that dream. But anything that you want to do you have to work for, it's not going to be just given to you. Some people are outliers where it is, but we don't live in an outlier society where 90% of that is happening. So think about your dream, the purpose behind your dream, know that there's going to be order behind that dream in order for you to really commit to it. Once you commit to it, there's gonna be a lot of white noise around you. But you have to learn how to treat that as surface level things and aim high. If you ever need resources, there are people out here for you, such as Black Boy Heal and other community resources.

The University of Washington celebrated sociologist and Associate Professor Dr. LaShawnDa L. Pittman 2023 publication, Grandmothering While Black: A Twenty-First-Century Story of Love, Coercion, and Survival. A listener alerted Gus about this book when it was first published. Gus reminded them of The C.O.W.S.'s #WhiteGuestOnly policy. However, we did hear from Dr. Pittman earlier this year during the celebration of Dorothy Roberts's years of superb attempted counter-racist scholarship. Dr. Pittman was a part of a panel discussion that included Professor Roberts - the audio is in the archives. Gus saw advertisements for the coming celebration for the paperback publication of Dr. Pittman's important work on black grandmothers who serve as the primary caregiver for the their black grandchildren. She details the numerous ways the System of White Supremacy "coerces" these grandmothers into becoming guardians - even though they lack the legal status as a "parent." This talk featured 2 Suspected Racists alongside Dr. Pittman, and it would have been three, but one White female called out sick. The Gus felt the usual black misandry of the academy. However, Dr. Pittman twice made time to personally acknowledge and thank Gus for attending. Not the end of the White Supremacy, but her act of gratitude was appreciated. #BlackGrandparentsMatter #TheCOWS15Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

Professor Marc Arsell Robinson, author of Washington State Rising: Black Power on Campus in the Pacific Northwest, was the featured speaker at Seattle's Museum of History and Industry (MOHAI). The University of Washington's Simpson Center for the Humanities sponsored and promoted the event under the title: "Black Power and Solidarity on Campus and Beyond, the Denny Lecture." Most of the people in attendance were classified as White. Professor Robinson, black male, provided a wealth of constructive information on the counter-racist efforts of Seattle's black college students in the late 1960's. He made sure to include the COINTELPRO snooping that the FBI conducted on the UW's Black Student Union as soon as the group came into existence - which was in 1968. Robinson emphasized that the founding BSU members reached out to and stressed the importance of non-black, non-white students. Gus asked and received no information about non-white, non-black students making a similar effort to reach out to black students. We were also forced to endure a White Woman's query about the alleged sexism of the black males who founded the BSU. This reminded Gus that the BSU has been dominated by black females for about a quarter century and around 2007 (when Obama was fixing to be elected) their signature event was the beloved "Bachelor Auction." #BlackMisandry #TheCOWS15Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

The University of Washington hosts Linh Thủy Nguyễn, non-white female, to discuss her brand new book, Displacing Kinship: The Intimacies of Intergenerational Trauma in Vietnamese American Cultural Production. Gus T. caught a flier for this event, but was more intrigued after investigating Professor Nguyễn's earlier report: “Loving Couples and Families:” Assimilation as Honorary Whiteness and the Making of the Vietnamese Refugee Family. In this 2021 exploration, Nguyễn acknowledges how non-white people born in Vietnam and non-white people classified as Asian at large are positioned in opposition to and apart from non-white people classified as black. Gus felt this was important to acknowledge since there's a frequent assumption that all non-white people are working together to solve The Problem. This point became more salient when Gus attended the event and observed Professor Nguyễn's partner, who appears to be a White Man.

The University of Washington has one of the largest anti-Israel encampments in America. In his appearance there, Charlie explains that one of the best ways to view the Israel/Gaza conflict is simply to ask: Which side's supporters champion civilization, and which side has everyone who wants to tear civilization down? Charlie also answers questions about what made America great, why it's okay to support Trump even if he's a sinner, whether being pro-LGBT helps or hurts countries, and more.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

All of the conversation around town is surrounding the Atlanta Falcons' decision to draft Michael Penix Jr with the eighth pick in the 2024 draft, and deservingly so. The Falcons just signed Kirk Cousins to a four-year contract, and told fans that they were playing for now. Although the Falcons didn't seem to draft to win now in the first round of the draft, they did seem to do so in the later rounds. In rounds 2-4 the falcons drafted three defensive linemen: Ruke Orhorhoro, Brandon Dorlus, and Bralen Trice. Bralen Trice racked up sixteen sacks in the last two years and led college football in quarterback pressures last season. This goes a little un-noticed in this part of the country, largely because Trice played at the University of Washington. Andy Bunker attended the University of Washington and knows a thing or two about Bralen Trice, and thinks that he may be the Falcons' best edge rusher already. But is that a good thing? Andy and Randy McMichael discuss Bralen Trice and the rest of the Falcons' day two and three draft picks. 

Every dog owner has faced the hard realization that their dog won't live as long as they do, but we've all probably wondered: Why do some dogs live longer than others? It turns out that several factors are at play, according to the largest research study of dogs, known as The Dog Aging Project.Prof. Daniel Promislow of the University of Washington is co-director of the project, which examines how biology, lifestyle and environment can increase both the health and lifespan of more than 50,000 dogs. We spoke with Promislow about whether we can help our dogs live longer—and what their research could actually teach humans about aging.Link to the advertised Chicago Booth Review Podcast:  https://www.chicagobooth.edu/review/podcast?source=cbr-sn-bbr-camp:podcast24-20240404

Best selling author Yashica Dutt visited the University of Washington to discuss her globally successful book, Coming Out As Dalit: A Memoir of Surviving India's Caste System. The book was first published in 2019, but an updated US version was released in 2023 that includes Gus' Seattle, Washington and the recent legislation to prohibit "caste discrimination" in the workplace. Dutt is a non-white female born in the area of the world known as India. Her memoir examines her life as a "Dalit," non-white female member of India's caste system. It's been said that this system of mistreatment predates the System of White Supremacy. However, Whites overpowered dark people in this part of the universe too. Gus learned that Vice President Kamala Harris is a member of India's upper caste - which may explain her access to the White House and a White husband. Gus was able to ask Dutt about the role of skin color in the caste system. The bestselling Dalit author had lots to say on this subject! She even detailed growing up with skin bleaching creams. Many non-white females in attendance (classified as Indian) seemed to vigorously relate to the experience of chemically damaging your melanin-rich epidermis. People classified as black get the "double whammy" of mistreatment in this part of the world. This event took place in a very tiny room, for a large number of people, on a campus with countless auditoriums. #TheCOWS15Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

Ikponwosa Ero visits the University of Washington to discuss: “Human Rights in Practice: An overview of the journey to protect people with albinism in Africa and globally” Ero was born in Nigeria and migrated to Canada in her teens. She's classified as a non-white female with albinism - a genetic defect which manifests as a person lacking melanin, skin pigmentation. "Ms. Ero is a lawyer by training and the first United Nations Independent Expert on the enjoyment of human rights by persons with albinism. Her experiences and impact span across multiple continents over more than a decade of policy research and advocacy, having worked with several government agencies and organizations to further the rights of persons with albinism, and being a leader in more than twenty international human rights resolutions at both the United Nations and the African Union." Dr. Frances Cress Welsing often discuss the significance of albinism in relation to her theory of White Genetic Annihilation. She theorized that individuals classified as White are also melanin deficient, and their lack of pigmentation partly motivates their mistreatment of dark skinned people - especially those classified as black. Gus and C.O.W.S. listeners were able to ask a number of questions. Ms. Ero explained the "intrigue" or thrill associated with publicizing how dark skinned Africans abuse and sometimes butcher African people with albinism. We also discussed an alleged "white privilege" that she receives as a result of looking phenotypically similar to people classified as White. Ms. Ero acknowledged their may be some true to this statement. There was a substantial informal discussion following the main event, and Gus was able to ask even more questions. During this time, Ms. Ero explained that when she moved to Canada in her teens, an "Indian" person called her a "White nigger." For Gus, this further solidified that she could not be accepted as White, and reminds us that #BlackGetBack Even for the pale black people with albinism. #AlbinismAffairs #TheCOWS15Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

The University of Washington's Center for Anti-Racism & Community Health hosts a panel discussion on "anti-blackness" and the impact of Professor Dorothy Roberts scholarship. “Moderated by the American Ethnic Studies Department's Dr. Oliver Rollins, panelists will discuss the impacts of Roberts' scholarship across law, public policy, medical ethics, nursing, and sociology. Additional panelists include the School of Nursing's Dr. Monica McLemore, American Ethnic Studies' Dr. LaShawnDa Pittman, and the Department of Bioethics and Humanities' Dr. LaTonya Trotter.” Interestingly, the description for this event says “broken systems.” However, during the discussion, Roberts and other panelists emphasized that the system is working as intended - brutalizing black people. Also, panelists were asked near the end of the discussion if they had a definition of Racism. No one volunteered to briefly share their definition. Dr. Oliver Rollins said he intends to email his definition. We shall see. Although Gus was present for this event, few black males were in this mostly White audience. Pay close attention for the commentary about the temporal correlation between the age of White scientific enlightenment and the global slave trade. Many of the revered White philosophers wrote eloquently about White Supremacy. The panelists also unanimously voiced that the only reason for racial classifications is to practice White Supremacy. #TheCOWS15Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

Three time C.O.W.S. guest and the George A. Weiss University Professor of Law & Sociology at the University of Pennsylvania ventured across the continent to give a presentation at Seattle's University of Washington. Her talk is entitled: “The Urgency of Reproductive Justice.” Roberts included the Tennessee arrest of Bianca Clayborne and Deonte Williams. Their five children were snatched after the attempted parents were accused of illegal possession of cannabis. She also referenced the Ohio persecution of Brittany Watts, where a black attempted mother may be charged for defiling a corpse following the miscarriage of her child. She requested medical assistance, but did not get adequate, timely help. Gus T. was proud to hear the Afiya Center in Texas continues to do constructive work helping pregnant black mothers. Their executive director, Marsha Jones, was a guest on The C.O.W.S. in 2017. Roberts also detailed the history of White Supremacist sterilizations against non-white females. She included a photo of Elaine Riddick. Her child, Tony, was a guest on our platform in January 2012. C.O.W.S. participants were not just spectators for Roberts important commentary!
