Sue Winter is a modern linguist who holds two graduate degrees, one from the University of London, and another from UWE Bristol. She taught for over 44 years in a variety of settings in both mainstream and specialist teams for vulnerable young people. Sue has multiple cultic experiences from religious to corporate to interpersonal, including both parental and spousal abuse. She became involved in Fruitful Vine Ministries, an Australian charismatic group, led by a female apostle prophet. After leaving that group she unknowingly “cult hopped” volunteering for a UK-based commercial hiking company which she only recently realized was employing many cult-like practices. She is now an E.S.O.L examiner and a group leader for a U.S. not-for-profit organization. Sue has a passion for language and speaks French, Spanish, German, Catalan, and Arabic. In this complex and engaging discussion, Sue opens up to Rachel about the plethora of cultic experiences she endured throughout her lifetime. Together they draw connections between the various high-control situations she found herself in. Rahel and Sue go on to point out the commonalities of Sue's experiences, pointing out the similarity in the methods of control. Before You Go: Rachel examines the resilience of those who survive multiple cult experiences and offers her insights on how to stay conscious of the potential to "Cult Hop" All of Rachel's free informational PDF documents are available here: www.rachelbernsteintherapy.com/pdf.html All of Rachel's video lectures are available for purchase here: www.rachelbernsteintherapy.com/webinar.html To help support the show monthly and get bonus episodes, shirts, and tote bags, please visit: www.patreon.com/indoctrination Prefer to support the IndoctriNation show with a one-time donation?

Dowla came from Qatar to Seacamp so she could take our Lionfish Hunting Submersible Operations course. Dowla is no stranger to Lionfish Central. She interned with us on our submersible project in the Florida Keys last summer. Meet Dowla F Al-Suwaidi She is a postgraduate from the University of the West of England in Bristol UK were she earned two Masters in Environmental Consultancy and Wildlife Conservation in Practice. In 2022, Dowla reached out us to learn more about the lionfish and their impact on the coral reefs. Dowla is from the middle east where not everybody knows how dangerous these fish can be in other regions, and how was easy it is for them to adjust anywhere in different waters. Here she worked on her dissertation project studying why lionfish are considered an invasive species and different methods of management, while in her last years in UWE-Bristol. Additionally, she was able to document the first dive testing of the submarine in Florida-Keys with both members of the lionfish central and she was the first passenger to dive in the newly designed submersible. For her part, she was able to spread awareness and teach different groups of people at the science fair in the UK when presenting her dissertation project. As a result, many people became educated on how these fish caused damage in the Caribbean and the Atlantic reefs. That was Dowla reached back out to us to contribute and play a role in spreading awareness globally. Dowla traveled all the way from Qatar to join this unique course, Introduction of Submersible prepared by captain Scott Cassell and Myself (Mr. Scott Gonnello) on 16th of March 2023. She said it was worth the 20 hour flight and 9 hours on the road. She recommended this course to people globally in hopes they would join and learn more about the submarine, as she believes this course will open up new doors in marine conservation practices. It will help spread awareness, promote the marine life, help discover and protect the undiscovered depth. Dowla helped by designing the technical page for the submarine anatomy diagram for the submersible course, as well as contributing good images to attract viewers on social media and incorporating these images into the course book. Plus she played a role in designing the new project “Lionfish expedition passport”, by adding the needed logos and layout works for the lionfish central, providing new ideas and feedback to make it better in the future. Dowla is currently working on designing a program to allow different student both locally and abroad to join the courses that will teach them about the invasive lionfish, as well as learn how to get involved in protecting and maintaining healthy reefs, help in spreading awareness and knowledge throughout the world.

Welcome to the final episode of Season Eight of The PhD Life Raft Podcast! In this interview I am talking with Lucy Nevitt, a freelance professional proofreader who specialises in working with academic texts and doctoral theses in the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences fields. Lucy did her PhD in Drama at Royal Holloway, then spent a decade working as a full-time academic at UWE Bristol. For several years she ran editorial administration and submissions support for Research in Drama Education: the Journal of Applied Theatre and Performance.

MOGU makes science sexy, luxurious and sustainable!  This is a must listen for anyone interested in mycelium, fungi, architecture and advanced sustainable material science!  MOGU,  founded in 2014, sits at the intersection of luxurious, interior design and the cutting edge of sustainable, micro intelligence!  Utilizing their proprietary disruptive process, MOGU produces materials by growing selected strains of mycelium on pre-engineered substrates sourced from agro-industrial residues.  (Coffee grounds, rice straw, corn crops, discarded seaweed and clam shells!) This allows them to create a material from raw materials that would normally be discarded without any economic value.  By using these industrial residues, they create an additional "economic" benefit for their entire value chain and offer a beautiful, sustainable, luxurious product to the consumer. MOGU's first two commercial products are acoustic panels and industrial flooring.  Gianluca Belotti, head of innovation at MOGU, sits down to walk us through their story and their focus on continued innovation into new markets.  Gianluca oversees, PURA, the bio-fabrication unit within MOGU, where they apply their fungal fermentation process to fashion and food innovations!   Gianluca gives us some insight into one of their most disruptive projects, FUNGAR, the worlds first "smart fungal" living architecture building.  In collaboration with UWE Bristol academics with partners from Denmark (Centre for Information Technology and Architecture), and the Netherlands (Utrecht University) Using a novel bio-electric system developed by scientists, living fungi grown inside the building's framework structure will act as a sensor detecting changes in light, pollutants and temperature, and computers will analyse the information. When particular changes are recognised, the system will have the potential to respond adaptively by controlling connected devices such as lights and heaters. MOGU has had funding support from the EU, as well as some private, strategic investors.  They are in discussions with new investors to help support them as they scale up existing products as well to commercialize their new disruptive fashion and food products. RAPID FIRE: They listen to Catalan music in the lab and do NOT have specific "fungi inspired" playlist Mentors His PhD advisor The hardest part of his job is to keep the spirits up in the lab for his team.  They do very challenging and innovative things and it doesn't always lead to immediate success.  He try's to make sure they are inspired and supported. His definition of a wealthy life is- where he runs at least 60km per week! ****************************************** The Shot Caller Echosystem

Talk Art Special Episode!!!! Russell and Robert meet three incredible emerging artists Charlotte McDonald, Aflie Kungu and Rose Electra Harris!!! We are very excited to continue our partnership with Bombay Sapphire, celebrating their new #RipeForDiscovery Artist Series.Russell recently worked alongside Bombay Sapphire as co-curator to choose three fantastic emerging artists to create unique limited edition artworks for new #BombayBramble gin bottle labels! Listen to learn all about the artworks of three incredible artists! Follow the artists on Instagram now to see more of their work and inspirations: @CharlotteMcdonaldArt, @Alfie.Kungu and @RoseElectraHarris!Charlotte McDonald an artist with a degree in Drawing and Painting from Edinburgh College of Art. She’s inspired by landscape, nature and the effects that the landscape has on today’s environment, Charlotte creates both abstract artworks in the form of prints and paintings. She explores and responds to the relationship between texture, colour and shape mostly based on abstract form but also sometimes observational.Alfie Kungu is an artist whose works are bright and playful, his childhood figurative characters realised with classical painting technique. Familiar cultural motifs are set against contrasting textures and fearless colours, coming together as a vivid expression of Kungu’s headspace. Kungu grew up in Hebden Bridge, Yorkshire and went on to study art in Leeds, followed by UWE Bristol graduating in 2016 with First Class BA (Hons) Fine Art. He has exhibited his work at ICA, Cob and HVQ8 Gallery Berlin. Rose Electra Harris is an artist working predominantly as a printmaker, mostly in etching and screen-printing. She completed her BA Hons in Printmaking at Brighton University in 2015. She now works between her studio at home, Slaughterhaus Print Studio in Stockwell and Print Club London in Hackney. In her work she explores the interior, creating dreamlike, surreal and vibrant interpretations of domestic spaces around her. The room is an oasis and the items within it are what bring it to life. Rose imagines the dialogue that exists between space and furnishings or objects – chandeliers, lemon squeezers, chairs or a freestanding bath, for instance. She uses decorative motifs, intricate patterns and a vivid palette, to make the everyday important!The 'Ripe For Discovery' Artist Series bottles are available now! Head in store at Selfridges and online @theOfficialSelfridges to view, purchase and personalise these exclusive #BombayBramble bottles from these three truly incredible young artists!!!

The Planning White Paper sets out ambitions for enhanced quality in the development industry, and the ambition that high-quality design can persuade people development is a good thing. The main tool proposed for achieving this is Design Coding, utilised on a more systematic level. But what have we learnt from Design Coding to date to inform this broadening of application? We brought together a researcher - Hannah Hickman, UWE Bristol; master developer - Nigel Reids, Lands Improvement Holdings, urban design officer in a local authority - Mark Harris, South Hams District Council and masterplanner - our very own Vaughn Anderson, to debate the what can and should not be within a code, potential challenges today and the process needed for creation.

A decade after the 2008 financial crisis, new political economic imaginaries have emerged to make sense of our financialised world. Critical macro-finance is one of the most important of these trends. It has shed light on the infrastructure of contemporary global finance, the links between shadow banking, money markets and monetary policy, and the evolving governance architecture established in the wreckage of the crash. To discuss critical macro-finance, WCF is excited to get into conversation with Daniela Gabor, Professor of Economics and Macro-Finance at UWE Bristol. Daniela is working on the intersections of economics, finance and political economy, researching a variety of areas such as shadow banking activities, especially repo markets, and their implications for monetary theory, central banking, sovereign bond markets and regulatory activities.

Daniela Gabor is a professor of economics and finance at the University of West England at Bristol and a monetary economist. She specializes in shadow banking, capital markets, and transnational banking. Today, she joins the show to discuss her new paper, *Chasing Unicorns: The European Single Safe Asset Project*. David and Daniela also discuss merits of equity-based banking, elements of the shadow banking system, and Europe’s quest for a safe asset.

What Could Sentient Machines Mean for Humanity? For decades, we've imagined the rise of computer-based life forms, super-intelligences whose intellects could far surpass our own and trigger a new phase in non-human evolution. Could these visions become real, and why do they have such a grip on our imaginations? How has culture informed AI research? Should we be more worried about sentient machines, or the dumb algorithms and data integration being worked on today? Do we still have privacy under the dead, uncaring gaze of a machine intelligence? What does humanism mean to an artificial intelligence anyway? Science writer, broadcaster and geneticist Dr Adam Rutherford will chair a panel of human intelligences at this talk, including leading roboticist Professor Alan Winfield, Dr Kathleen Richardson and Dr Blay Whitby. Professor Alan Winfield is Director of the Science Communication Unit at UWE Bristol. Dr Kathleen Richardson is Senior Research Fellow in the Ethics of Robotics at De Montfort University. Dr Blay Whitby is a philosopher and technology ethicist, specialising in computer science, artificial intelligence and robotics at the University of Sussex.
