Christopher Bishop's latest Quantum Tech Pod with Vanesa Diaz, CEO of quantum computing company LuxQuanta is live! Vanesa grew up in a small village in the north of Spain and because she was good at math, she eventually got a degree in engineering. Her early career found her in tech roles, but she wanted to spend less time in the lab and more time with customers and developing business strategies. So, she moved to Australia and got a Master's degree in marketing and business! When she returned to Europe, she landed a job at Corning, where she worked for over a decade. She has also worked at RYMSA and Vodaphone. Her company LuxQuanta was formed in May 2021 as a spin-off from The Institute of Photonic Sciences where it was incubated for over four years. LuxQuanta delivers Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) systems that can be integrated into existing network infrastructures to provide a quantum-safe layer of security on top of mathematical cryptographic techniques. Her advice to women interested in working in quantum: “The tech industry is still very male-dominated, and it is normal to fear that you might not be able to do something new or challenging. Surround yourself with the right support – from mentors to supervisors. And don't be afraid to fight for it!” Check out Chris's conversation with Vanesa at Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or at this link!

Ecoutez la série d'été de Scandales ! Sur la route des vacances ou déjà sur la plage, les meilleurs épisodes du podcast Scandales vous accompagnent tout l'été.  Ils ont longtemps formé le couple le plus iconique d'Hollywood. Brad Pitt. Angelina Jolie. À eux seuls, ces deux noms évoquent les photocalls surchargés, les fans hurlant dans les lobbies d'hôtels, les brushings (trop) parfaits, et juste un monde fabuleux où tout devient possible. Après s'être mis ensemble en 2005, ils deviennent si célèbres qu'on fusionne même leurs prénoms, donnant vie à une sorte d'entité mythique : les Brangelina. Cette entité, les Américains l'ont appelée le “power couple”, et on n'a jamais trouvé un mot qui voulait dire la même chose en français, avec autant de force. D'autres power couples sont nés après eux (Bennifer, Tomkat, Robsten…), mais seul Brangelina a tenu. Longtemps. Jusqu'à ce jour de 2016, où Angelina Jolie demande le divorce. Le modèle du couple parfait et de la famille formidable s'effondre. Derrière eux, rien ni personne pour les remplacer.  Est-ce que la rupture des Brangelina a signé la fin d'une ère ? Est-ce que Brad Pitt et Angelina Jolie ont été le premier des power couples, mais aussi le dernier ? Et pourquoi ces power couples résonnaient-ils tant en nous ?  Dans cet épisode de Scandales, la journaliste Marion Galy-Ramounot replonge dans la longue et passionnante histoire d'amour d'Angelina Jolie et Brad Pitt. À son micro se succèdent :  - Shelley Cobb, professeure de cinéma à l'université de Southampton, auteure de First Comes Love : Power Couples, Celebrity Kinship and Cultural Politics. - Vanessa Diaz, docteure en anthropologie, maître de conférences à la Loyola Marymount University. Elle est l'auteure du livre Manufacturing Celebrity. - Jana Singer, professeure de droit à l'université de Maryland, co-auteure de l'ouvrage Divorced From Reality : Rethinking Family Dispute Resolution.   Scandales est un podcast de Madame Figaro, écrit et présenté par Marion Galy-Ramounot, et produit par Lucile Rousseau-Garcia. Claire Bellahsen a participé à l'écriture et à la production de cet épisode, aidée par Adèle Jacquet. Thomas Rozes en a fait la réalisation et le mix sur une musique composée par Jean Thévenin.

While Hollywood's images present a veneer of fantasy for some, the work to create such images is far from escapism. In Manufacturing Celebrity: Latino Paparazzi and Women Reporters in Hollywood (Duke University Press, 2020), anthropologist Vanessa Díaz examines the raced and gendered hierarchies and inequalities that are imbricated within the work of producing celebrity in Los Angeles, CA. Díaz's ethnography follows reporters and paparazzi to examine their everyday practices of work and labor that bring celebrity images and stories into being on the pages of celebrity magazines. Grounded in media workers' perspectives and everyday life, this book carefully situates Latino paparazzi and women reporters in relationship to the particular vulnerabilities that they face. For example, Díaz traces a shift in the demographic of the paparazzi from white men to Latino men, and with it a significant shift in the tone of insults levied against them. Women reporters remain vulnerable to sexual harassment and other dangers in carrying out their work. Hollywood presents itself to its audience through its carefully crafted films, images, and stories. Díaz's work troubles this facade by centering the work and challenges of the everyday laborers who produce it. Vanessa Díaz is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chicana/o and Latina/o Studies at Loyola Marymount University. Reighan Gillam is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Southern California. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

While Hollywood’s images present a veneer of fantasy for some, the work to create such images is far from escapism. In Manufacturing Celebrity: Latino Paparazzi and Women Reporters in Hollywood (Duke University Press, 2020), anthropologist Vanessa Díaz examines the raced and gendered hierarchies and inequalities that are imbricated within the work of producing celebrity in Los Angeles, CA. Díaz’s ethnography follows reporters and paparazzi to examine their everyday practices of work and labor that bring celebrity images and stories into being on the pages of celebrity magazines. Grounded in media workers’ perspectives and everyday life, this book carefully situates Latino paparazzi and women reporters in relationship to the particular vulnerabilities that they face. For example, Díaz traces a shift in the demographic of the paparazzi from white men to Latino men, and with it a significant shift in the tone of insults levied against them. Women reporters remain vulnerable to sexual harassment and other dangers in carrying out their work. Hollywood presents itself to its audience through its carefully crafted films, images, and stories.

En este episodio hablé con Vanessa Díaz, Psicóloga con un PhD en Psicología del Desarrollo  trabajando como Research Assistant Professor, en el Psychology Department de Virginia Tech. Hablamos del desarrollo del concepto de la mente tanto en niños como en adultos, la diferencia en ser bilingüe y hablar en “spanglish”, code-switching cultural y modulación al usar el español para hablar con compañeros latinos, el proceso para entrar a Virginia Tech y cómo es ser latino en un mundo académico, y todos sus consejos para las personas que tienen niños en otro país y quieren que mantengan el español.

En Miami, empezó el bachillerato en Psicología y francés, en donde conoció a su esposo. Ambos aplicaron a escuelas de postgrado, terminando en La Universidad de Florida. Vanessa se recibió con un PhD y un masters en Psicología del Desarrollo con un enfoque del desarrollo cognitivo de los niños. Ella se dedica al estudio y a la investigación del desarrollo del lenguaje, y su foco es en niños bilingües de EEUU.   Vanessa habla sobre el concepto de la mente y cómo los niños y los adultos bilingües lo desarrollan de una manera más avanzada en comparación con alguien que habla un solo idioma. Los adultos desde el punto de vista de biculturalismo, en donde el lenguaje se convierte en un marcador de las diferencias existentes entre personas con culturas diferentes. Las personas que hablan distintos idiomas tienen distintas culturas, y dependiendo de la cultura se piensa de manera diferente. También nos ha hablado acerca de cómo la academia lingüística encuentra al “Spanglish”, la alteración del code-switch,  y el efecto de la distancia entre los idiomas. Vanessa es assistant research professor en Virginia Tech. Esta universidad tiene un sistema de “Tenure Track”, un camino por el cual los profesores tienen que transitar para promocionar y obtener seguridad laboral académica. Cuando eres contratado y si te fue bien después de los primeros cinco años, te dan un contrato de por vida. Es un sistema que cada vez será más difícil ya que hay mucha participación. En el caso de Vanessa al igual que todas las personas que tienen un doctorado en psicología académica, para entrar a la academia, debes hacer un postdoctorado de dos años en donde hay que enfocar aún más la investigación. Para su puesto de trabajo actual, ha pasado por un largo y difícil proceso. En el último año tuvo una clase sobre el bilingüismo y el cerebro en la que participó como voluntaria, y mientras tanto aplicó al trabajo con su esposo.   La aplicación a un trabajo académico tarda un año, y entre los dos, aplicaron a más de 120. Se debe llevar un “Teaching Statement”,  “Diversity Statement”,

Once upon a time, a girl learned to sing before she could talk. Her name was Celia. She began singing to her siblings and cousins at bedtime, but a voice like that needed to be shared. Everywhere she went, she sang. She sang when she was in pain and she sang when she felt incredible joy—shouting an exuberant “¡Azúcar!” to her adoring fans. In glittering gowns and extravagant, ruffled ensembles, Celia filled the airwaves with her unique sound.

Once upon a time, a girl learned to sing before she could talk. Her name was Celia. She began singing to her siblings and cousins at bedtime, but a voice like that needed to be shared. Everywhere she went, she sang. She sang when she was in pain and she sang when she felt incredible joy—shouting an exuberant “¡Azúcar!” to her adoring fans. In glittering gowns and extravagant, ruffled ensembles, Celia filled the airwaves with her unique sound. Her talent earned her the name “The Queen of Salsa” as she spread Cuban music throughout the world.About the Narrator:A talented and versatile actress, Justina Machado continues to endear audiences and earn critical acclaim with each new role.Machado can currently be seen starring as the lead in Netflix’s highly-reviewed reimagining of Norman Lear’s ONE DAY AT A TIME opposite Rita Moreno.

Jenn and guest Vanessa Diaz discuss Portuguese novels, ghost stories, unreliable narrators, and more in this week's episode of Get Booked. This episode is sponsored by The Devil's Thiefby Lisa Maxwell and Flight or Fright, edited by Stephen King and Bev Vincent.   Questions:   1. Hello Amanda and Jenn, This month, after a harrowing vacation planning session wherein I blindly threw a dart at a map, I booked a flight to Portugal. Shortly, after booking my ticket, I realized I really don't know much about the country and its literature. Can you help me find something to read that's either set in Portugal or by a Portuguese author before my trip? I've read a number of books about Spain and books by Spanish authors, so I'd prefer to avoid overlap. Although I'm open to non-fiction, I would prefer a fiction recommendation. I read almost every genre within fiction, but I tend to avoid YA and romance. To give you a general feel for my taste in books, some of my all-time favourites books are: -A Little Life by Hanya Yanigahara, -The Wind-up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami, -Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel, and -Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman. Many thanks, --Rebecca   2. Hi Amanda and Jenn, First I want to say I love your show and I read a lot of your recommendations. So I absolutely loved I Am Pilgrim and need some more books like it. I love books that have multiple plot lines that converge in the end. Please help me find some more books to put on my shelf. I will read anything except Romance. I prefer mystery and historical fiction. By the way if this finds its way on the show that would be great. Thanks --Brittney   3. Hi Guys! I’m looking for a book recs for good horror novels that involve ghosts. I’m a huge horror movie fan and particularly love ghost stories & found footage movies. In reading, however, I’ve stuck mostly with Urban & High Fantasy novels. I’m looking to expand my taste a bit this year and have also found that I’m running out of horror movies to watch. I’ve attempted a few Stephen King novels including “It" but have a hard time digesting the homophobia within towns make up. I understand where the novel comes from and usually don’t have a problem with being faced with the uglier side of humanity. However, because of that particular form of ugly, I’m extremely tentative when it comes to horror books. Can you recommend some horror novels centered around hauntings & ghost stories? Bonus if they include LGBT characters — particularly gay or lesbian couples. Thank you for your time, --Oddy   4. I am going through a difficult breakup and am finding escaping into reading a healthy way to deal with my feelings. I recently read The Night Circus for the first time and found it was a great book for me right now not necessarily because of the genre but because of the immersive environment the author creates and because the ending is generally happy. I started reading Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norell hoping it would provide a similar imaginative environment but I'm finding the beginning a little slow. I am open to any genre of book as long as it is immersive and not depressing. Thank you for your help! --Lauren   5. Hi, I love your podcast, and I'm so happy it comes out every week now! I was wondering if you can help me find more books with an unreliable narrator. I have read Gone Girl, Girl on the Train, Await Your Reply, The Talented Mr. Ripley, and Where'd You Go, Bernadette. I particularly enjoy books when you don't actually know if the narrator is unreliable or not until you get into it as opposed to Mr Ripley where I knew from the start. Thanks! I await your reply. ;-) --Kaci   6. Books with borderline characters or any type of mental illness? --Sad reader   7. Hi gang, Greetings from Buenos Aires, Argentina!!!!!
