Schools across the country will today try and tackle the backlog of work that built up as a result of the strike action by school secretaries and caretakers that lasted for over a week. The striking workers had been picketing schools, demanding access to public sector pensions and other entitlements. The Minister for Education Helen McEntee welcomed Forsa's agreement to suspend strike action last Friday night, to allow for talks at the Workplace relations commission. The Union representing school secretaries and caretakers says the key element of the agreement is a Government commitment to negotiate comparable pension entitlements for their members.

India-China relations have been bogged down by two major irritants: the border issue, and China's close military collaboration with Pakistan. But now, both India and China are looking for a reset in bilateral ties. This assumes significance especially in the context of the Trump administration's 50% tariffs on Indian exports. India doesn't want its growth trajectory derailed by these tariffs, and wants to explore all options for protecting its economic interests. Prime Minister Modi is meeting President Xi Jinping in Tianjin at the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit, and greater economic cooperation is very much on the agenda. Given the historical tensions and trust deficit between the two countries, can India benefit from a pivot to China? And if the answer is yes, how would it work?

When someone speaks with a deep of understanding of the banking and finance systems, is widely respected, and then expresses a strong but debatable view, about a developing asset class, we think it's important to hear that voice and to challenge and distil its key messages. So in this episode we welcome back a former guest who appeared on the MMP in March 2023 during the banking storm, during with Silicon Valley Bank and then Credit Suisse. His conclusion was unequivocally that this was no repeat of the 2008 GFC, as has been proven. In addressing his recent report from Oliver Wyman, titled “private credit is reshaping wealth portfolios”, we wanted to challenge him on several issues, including; Is it that innocuous? Is this a trend which will serve big private asset firms at the expense of individuals? How about bad times and souring loans? Does the loss of liquidity matter? Are we swapping risks from the regulated banking sector to the unregulated world of the giant private market firms? And so Huw and I face off in a discussion on the risks and opportunities that are the hallmarks of this fast-growing slice of the investing world.

Is the global transition to low-carbon energy accelerating or slowing down? One answer is that it depends where you look. In the US, energy policy has shifted away from support for low-carbon technologies, but China is continuing with record installations of solar, wind, and batteries, and record sales of EVs. With AI emerging as the central arena for great power completion, which model will work best at providing the power the new technologies need?The AI revolution will be the most transformative change in human history. That's according to Gerard Reid, this week's guest, a veteran energy commentator and co-founder of the advisory firm Alexa Capital. Gerard, who also co-hosts the podcast Redefining Energy, says he thinks AI will reinvent the world's energy system. There is a widening gulf between ‘petrostates' such as the US, which are rich in oil and gas and favor fossil fuels, and the ‘electrostates', led by China, which is dominates global manufacturing for technologies such as solar panels, batteries and EVs.Europe, which is relatively resource-poor, is following China's path out of necessity, while India and others weigh up which model to adopt. Gerard, host Ed Crooks and regular guest Amy Myers-Jaffe debate the different approaches that different countries are taking to build secure energy systems that will be able to meet growing demand for electricity for AI. Electricity is now the ultimate security priority, demanding grid upgrades, new technologies to support resilience including vehicle-to-grid, and new strategic partnerships. Gerard argues that OPEC's current strategy suggest it sees oil demand peaking soon. As the world adopts Chinese EVs and other low-cost, low-carbon technologies, some big questions are becoming increasingly urgent. Will the US continue to cling to fossil fuels? Will cheap solar upend electricity industries around the world? And above all, will the race for strategic and economic success be won by whichever country integrates AI, low-cost power, and resilient grids first?Ed Crooks is Vice Chair for the Americas at Wood Mackenzie.

What happens when tech built to boost performance erodes trust? We unpack the legal, cultural, and human cost—and how leaders can protect psychological safety.WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:Imagine discovering that the same workplace tech meant to make your job easier is quietly dismantling trust, blurring boundaries, and draining morale. In this episode of The Hard Skills, we pull back the curtain on how tools like productivity trackers, AI decision-making, and remote monitoring reshape not just workflows—but the culture, safety, and well-being of entire teams. You'll hear how leaders face a growing legal and ethical duty of care in tech-integrated workplaces, and what it takes to meet that responsibility in real terms—not just policy statements. We explore the blind spots that make even well-intentioned technology harmful, the risks that can spiral into legal exposure, and the choices that can either protect or undermine psychological safety.If you've ever wondered whether the systems you've built are quietly shaping a culture you didn't intend, start here. This isn't theory—it's a deep, unflinching look at the human side of workplace tech. ***ABOUT OUR GUEST:Dr. Cameron Stockdale is an internationally recognized leader in organizational behaviour, workplace wellness, and change leadership.

Interviewees: Tom Pisano, MD PhD and Laura Ashley Stein, MD, MS, Ed. Interviewer: Lisa Meeks, PhD, MA Description: In Episode 111, Dr. Lisa Meeks talks with Dr. Tom Pisano (former Penn neurology resident; now neuro-hospital medicine and neuro-immunology fellow) and Dr. Laura Stein (Adult Neurology Program Director at Penn) about building an accessible neurology residency for a physician who uses a wheelchair—and how trust, planning, and culture made it work. Together, they trace Tom's match-day disclosure strategy and “find-your-people” approach, an accessibility walk-through with tape measures and ADA checks, and the practical creativity of equivalent rotations when sites differ in accessibility. They also unpack a real barrier—a security policy that blocked ED entry during stroke alerts—and how reframing access as patient safety moved the system. Listeners will hear candid advice for residents (hold onto your “why,” communicate early, invite teaching adaptations) and for program directors (start with goals, not habits; assume success; apply the same creativity you offer patients to your trainees). This episode accompanies a written case study and a Mini Grand Rounds conversation in Learn at ACGME. Part of the ACGME/DWDI Disability Resource Hub, supported by the Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation Catalyst Award, it's a practical guide for PDs, residents, and anyone committed to equitable clinical training.

Send us a message!A research-clinical team from the University of Tennessee Health Science Center—Dr. Tim Saltuklaroglu, Tricia Hedinger, M.S., CCC-SLP, BCS-SCF, and Eddie Brown, M.A., CCC-SLP—join host Sara MacIntyre, M.A., CCC-SLP, to share insights into Finding Your Voice, a stuttering therapy program they created, have seen make a meaningful difference in clinical settings, and are now beginning to test in an early-stage clinical trial. The program seeks to support clients through self-discovery, first-hand exploration, and awareness building to promote agency and meaningful change—helping individuals find their “ideal voice,” one that aligns their values and desired outcomes with how they see themselves both inside and out. The team discusses the program's origins and development, highlights clinical experiences and personal stories of impact, and outlines the ongoing trial's goals and design.For questions and inquiries related to their work, please feel free to contact the research team: tsaltukl@uthsc.eduBios:Tim Saltuklaroglu, Ph.D., is person who stutters who entered the field of speech pathology to learn more about the disorder and help children and adults who stutter.

Today, we're diving into a condition that's as fascinating as it is complex: Achalasia—where the esophagus stops playing nice, and swallowing becomes a daily challenge. We're breaking down the latest evidence, comparing POEM, pneumatic dilation, and Heller myotomy, and digging into what actually matters when deciding how to treat each achalasia subtype. Join show hosts Drs. Jake Greenberg, Dana Portenier, Zach Weitzner, and Joey Lew as they discuss the past, present, and future of Achalasia management. Whether you're a medical student or a seasoned attending, this episode will arm you with the tools to think critically about diagnosis, tailor your treatment strategy, and stay ahead of the curve on the future of achalasia care. Hosts: · Jacob Greenberg, MD, EdM, MIS Division Chief and Vice Chair for Education, Duke University · Dana Portenier, MD, MIS Fellowship Director, Duke University · Zachary Weitzner, MD, Minimally Invasive and Bariatric Surgery Fellow, Duke University, @ZachWeitznerMD · Joey Lew, MD, MFA, Surgical resident PGY-3, Duke University, @lew__actually Learning Goals: By the end of this episode, listeners will be able to: · Describe the pathophysiology and key diagnostic criteria for achalasia, including the role of manometry, EGD, and esophagram. · Differentiate between the three subtypes of achalasia based on the Chicago Classification and understand the clinical significance of each. · Compare treatment options for achalasia—pneumatic dilation, Lap Heller myotomy, and POEM—including indications, efficacy, and long-term outcomes. · Interpret landmark studies (e.g., European Achalasia Trial, JAMA POEM trial) and their impact on treatment decision-making. · Recognize patient-specific factors (age, comorbidities, achalasia subtype) that influence the choice of therapy. · Discuss evolving technologies and future directions in achalasia management, including endoluminal robotics, ARMS, and combined anti-reflux strategies. · Outline a basic treatment algorithm for newly diagnosed achalasia, incorporating diagnostic steps and tailored interventions. · Appreciate the multidisciplinary approach to achalasia care, including the roles of MIS surgeons, gastroenterologists, and emerging procedural skillsets.
