This week, host Anjali Alappat chats with SF author, physicist, and transdisciplinary scholar of climate change, Vandana Singh. A professor of physics, Vandana's writing combines science and social issues in thought-provoking ways. In recent years, her work has been climate focused, a stark acknowledgment of the crisis we are currently enduring. Her work includes Ambiguity Machines and Other Stories (2018), the first work by a South Asian author to be a finalist for the Philip K. Dick Award; The Woman Who Thought She was a Planet and Other Stories (2008), part of Zubaan's Classic series, and most recently Utopias of the Third Kind (2022). Vandana was a Climate Imagination Fellow at Arizona State University in 2021. In addition to her contributions to science fiction, she has also written for children, most notably her Younguncle books. She has also been recognised with Parallax and Otherwise Honor awards for her work. In this episode, we discuss the micro and macro of the ever-evolving climate crisis, the commercialised space race, techno billionaires, writing character led stories, acknowledging privilege and learning from marginalised peoples, the capitalist desire to maintain the status quo, and socio-economic death cults. You can follow Vandana Singh on X @singhvan.

As pharma reps' roles evolve, one pattern is evident: the traditional reach and frequency-based approaches are no longer adequate for pharma selling. Join Axtria's Vandana Singh as she explains how the pandemic has accelerated innovation in the pharma industry and why many more roles require increased coordination. Tune in as we talk about what the field rep of the future will look like, how pharma leadership needs to enable a field force of the future, and why organizations need to reevaluate their end-to-end field operations processes. IN THIS EPISODE: [02:20] The traditional reach and frequency-based approaches used for pharma selling are no longer effective. [05:50] The pandemic has accelerated the speed with which innovation has occurred in the past year. [07:40] What the field rep of the future will look like, and how will the role change from what it is today. [11:30] What pharma leadership needs to do to enable a field force of the future. [14:10] Is the role of a field rep diminishing or becoming more powerful? KEY TAKEAWAYS: The pharma commercial model is increasingly complex, with more roles requiring greater coordination. The industry is focusing more on customer experiences. Reps need to be master orchestrators in providing the right message to the right customer using the right channel at the right time. Working in silos is not enough. Instead, organizations must reevaluate their end-to-end field operations processes to enable the field force to work in these new ways. LINKS MENTIONED: Axtria https://www.axtria.com/ BIO: Vandana has more than 20 years of experience in various strategy, operations, and analytical roles within the life sciences industry. Currently, she is a principal within the Commercial Excellence organization at Axtria. She leads the Integrated Resource Planning Center of Excellence (COE) with her strong passion for developing new analytical solutions that enable omnichannel customer engagements. Vandana joined Axtria from Bristol Myers Squibb (BMS), where she held a variety of positions with increasing levels of responsibility. There, she led the insight generation and recommendations for a company's rebranding during the BMS-Celgene integration. Prior to BMS, Vandana also worked at Sanofi-Aventis and ZS Associates in multiple field force effectiveness roles.
Dù cho chúng ta có những công nghệ tạm gọi là “bền vững” như xe chạy điện và điện sản sinh từ gió đi chăng nữa, thì chúng cũng phải đối mặt với những giới hạn vật lý không thể phá vỡ, với chi phí môi trường cực kỳ nghiêm trọng và cụ thể. Có lẽ rất khó để loài người chấp nhận rằng: mọi hành vi tiêu thụ của mình, dù là tiêu thụ truyền thống hay chuyển sang các hành vi tiêu dùng "xanh", cũng đều đang sử dụng những tài nguyên hữu hạn của hành tinh Trái Đất. Một khi chứng ta chưa đánh giá được tác động của các nguyên vật liệu mới phát sinh, hãy hạn chế hết mức có thể và thôi dương dương tự đắc với các "giải pháp" của mình. Dưới đây là bài viết của Chirag Dhara và Vandana Singh. Chirag Dhara là một nhà vật lý khí hậu và là cộng sự nghiên cứu tại Viện Khí tượng Nhiệt đới Ấn Độ. Vandana Singh là giáo sư vật lý tại Đại học Bang Framingham, làm việc về lãnh vực sư phạm khí hậu xuyên ngành. Bài do bạn Minh Nhật chuyển ngữ cho Hành tinh Titanic. Xin mời các bạn lắng nghe.

Ten minutes with... is a special series presented by Coode Street that sees readers and booklovers from around the world talk about what they're reading right now and what's getting them through these difficult times. Only recently back from several months in India, Vandana Singh joins Gary to talk about what experiencing lockdown was like near Delhi and the hardships of day workers suddenly laid off and walking long distances back to their villages, the challenges to a speculative fiction writer of unexpectedly living in a 'bad science fiction novel' and some of the comforts of reading poetry, a novel set in remote Nagaland, 'magical realism' in the stories of Gogu Shyamala, and even Harry Potter. Books mentioned include: Ambiguity Machines and Other Stories by Vandana Singh When the River Sleeps by Easterine Kire Father May Be an Elephant and Mother Only a Small Basket, But... by Gogu Shyamala
Fantasy is a genre built out of many, many, components that come from all over. In India we’re seeing a resurgence of a fantasy tradition that rebuilds mythology and borrows liberally from western traditions. Today we talk about one of these books that creates a rich story out of all these elements. Then we discuss a project that overlays sci-fi with an Indian epic, with startling results. This is episode #12 of Bookasur, talking about Arthurian legend and Gorkha training camps and The Matrix, not to mention Sholay, A. K. Ramanujan, and the surprisingly human core of Indian sci-fi. Books featured: Kali Yuga: The Ascension, by Jatin Gupta, published by Rupa. Breaking the Bow, ed. by Anil Menon and Vandana Singh, published by Zubaan. -------- Published 1st July 2020.

Time travel is one of my favorite genres, and it’s also my go-to daydream. But I’ve begun to wonder whether time travel fantasies are a psychologically unhealthy way of avoiding problems in the present, or a helpful way of putting the present moment into sharper focus. I talk with authors Charles Yu, Vandana Singh, and editor Ann VanderMeer about the themes of loss and love in time travel narratives. And professors Antonio Cordoba and Concepcion Carmen Cascajosa Virino explain how the Spanish sci-fi show Ministry of Time (a.k.a. El Ministerio del Tiempo) became a therapeutic outlet for a nation still processing a long history of trauma and disappointments. Featuring readings by actor Woody Fu.

originally published in 2007. Who are the monsters? The aliens? The humans? The ones we love? An exploration of gender and thought through the lens of alien beings and self discovery. This episode comes with a warning about discussion of sexual assault. We read through a scene in the text from 42:56 to 44:17 and discuss it further until 48:00. Listener discretion is advised.
Vandana Singh has made a career of studying both hard science and the far corners of creativity. It’s no surprise then that Ambiguity Machines and Other Stories (Small Beer Press, 2018), which was nominated for a Philip K. Dick Award, reflects a fluency in multiple languages—not just English and Hindi, but the idioms of both particle physics and fantastical narratives that reach far beyond what science can (as of yet, at least) describe. “One of the things that really bothers me about how we think about the world is that we split it up into all these different disciplines and fields that have impenetrable walls between them, and one of the reasons I love … writing science fiction is that it allows us to make those walls porous,” Singh says. A reader might think that an expert in both particle physics and climate science might hesitate to write stories that explore impossibilities like time travel or machines “that cannot exist because they violate the known laws of reality” (the subject of the collection’s eponymous tale). But Singh embraces paradox and the simple truth that there’s still much about the universe that we don’t understand. Scientists are supposed to be objective and “check their emotions at the door,” she says. But it “isn't that simple because, after all, the paradox is that we are a part of the universe, studying the universe. And so how can we claim full objectivity?” Singh feels the only way to be authentic is “to acknowledge who I am as a human, as this little splinter of the universe conversing with another little splinter of the universe.” Several of the stories’ characters are, like Singh, female scientists, and their struggles to be taken seriously reflect real-world conditions. “In the physical sciences, it's still pretty tough for women,” says Singh, an assistant professor of physics at Framingham State University. “We have plenty of gender issues in India but the assumption that women can't do as well or don’t have the ability … is not that strong or strident in India.” In the U.S., however, “the negative micro-messaging and sometimes macro-messaging I've come across has been ‘Well a woman, so what do you know?’ You’re automatically assumed to be more touchy-feely and … you must not be as good at science, which is utterly absurd.” For Singh, physics and storytelling are intrinsically linked. “The way that I think about physics is really influenced by the way I think about story, and they're different but they talk to each other,” she says. For instance, she’s used fiction “to explore concepts that help me also conceptualize climate science for the classroom and beyond, and think of or reframe different ways of thinking about climate change and what's happening to our world. … I guess one analogy I could make is binocular vision. I have two ways of seeing the world, and they talk to each other so you get more depth.” Rob Wolf is the author of The Khronos Chronicles.

Tonight he is intensely aware of the city: its ancient stones, the flat-roofed brick houses, threads of clotheslines, wet, bright colors waving like pennants, neem tree-lined roads choked with traffic. There's a bus going over the bridge under which he has chosen to sleep. The night smells of jasmine, and stale urine, and the dust of the cricket field on the other side of the road. A man is lighting a bidi near him: face lean, half in shadow, and he thinks he sees himself. | 2004 by Vandana Singh. Originally published in So Long Been Dreaming: Postcolonial Science Fiction & Fantasy, edited by Uppinder Mehan and Nalo Hopkinson. Reprinted by permission of the author. Narrated by Vikas Adam.
Vandana Singh's short story Delhi was first pubished in the 2004 anthology So Long Been Dreaming: Postcolonial Science Fiction and Fantasy, edited Nalo Hopkinson and Uppinder Mehan.

This is a story from the time before she was famous. In the early days, she was known as Leli, or Lelia, a tease-name that had stuck. On her first mission for the revolution, she sat cramped, fists clenched with tension, waiting in the tiny scabship Tinka, out of sight in a radar deadzone. The salvage ship Gathering Moss, which she was stalking, lay like a giant, rusting silver slug in the docking bay. | Copyright 2014 by Vandana Singh. Narrated by Cassandra Campbell.

Sitting on the sun-warmed step at the end of her workday, Birha laid her hand on the dog's neck and let her mind drift. Like a gyre-moth finding the center of its desire, her mind inevitably spiraled inward to the defining moment of her life. It must be something to do with growing old, she thought irritably, that all she did was revisit what had happened all those years ago. Yet her irritation subsided before the memory. She could still see it with the shocking clarity of yesterday: the great, closed eyelid set in the enormous alien stronghold, opening in response to her trick. Narrated by Vikas Adam.
