Podcasts about visiting scientist

This quarter of the Future of Agriculture podcast is made possible by Case IH: https://www.caseih.com/en-us/unitedstatesMcCain's Farms of the FutureHot Potato PodcastToday's episode features Dr. Michelle D'Souza. Michelle is the Manager of Research and Innovation for McCain's Farm of the Future Project. In this role, her mission is to empower McCain on its journey to developing sustainable corporate frameworks that benefit society and nature through regenerative agriculture.Some of you may know that McCain has set some ambitious goals for transitioning their potato supply chain to regenerative agriculture. Over the years they have been willing to lead in their commitments and also back those commitments up with incentives and support for farmers trying to adopt regenerative practices. As such, they have hired scientists like Michelle. Dr. Michelle D'Souza is a molecular ecologist whose work focuses on biodiversity conservation, community engagement, and knowledge mobilization. So first and foremost, she is a scientist who in addition to her work at McCain still works as a Visiting Scientist at the Centre for Biodiversity Genomics. Michelle and I have a great conversation about McCain's commitments, how the progress has been so far, and how their farms of the future are designed to serve as farm-scale laboratories for regenerative transition. We also discuss why biodiversity should be a goal we should strive for in agriculture, who is responsible paying for soil conservation, and a whole lot more. Brought to you by Case IH: Case IH designs, engineers and produces cutting-edge farm equipment based on a comprehensive understanding of farmers' needs, wants and challenges, integrating these insights into their development and manufacturing.For example, take their Model Year 25 Magnum tractor. The new Magnum is purposefully designed to answer farmers' needs in every design and engineering choice. Improved horsepower for pulling heavier loads, faster. Bundled, integrated and ready-to-go precision tech for greater accuracy in the field. And a transmission farmers can tweak for improved control and performance in different tasks. That kind of design thinking is exactly where the future of ag is headed, and that's why you'll be hearing me talk to the folks at Case IH at different points throughout this quarter about what they do and how they're working to push the ag forward.

Angela is joined by neuroscience expert, Dr. Tommy Wood, who shares insights on building a better brain and optimising cognitive function across the lifespan. He discusses the importance of exercise on brain health, the impact of different types of exercise on cognitive function, and the benefits of separating tasks to maximise productivity. They also look into the concept of cognitive gears, the effects of multitasking, and the significance of incorporating low cognitive gear activities to unwind before bedtime. KEY TAKEAWAYS We need to emphasise the importance of structuring the workday to optimise productivity by chunking tasks based on cognitive gears and personal energy rhythms. Multitasking, especially when it involves complex tasks, can be detrimental to cognitive performance and learning. Focusing on one task at a time is more effective for deep work and skill acquisition. Engaging in low cognitive gear activities, such as repetitive tasks or household chores, can provide a cognitive break and recharge the brain. Prioritising deep work in the morning when energy levels are high and saving less demanding tasks for later in the day can enhance overall productivity. Maintaining a balance between focused work, breaks, and low cognitive gear activities throughout the day can help optimise cognitive function and prevent burnout. BEST MOMENTS "I think there's a few different ways to think about this” “One measure that I really like is the cognitive gears, which is something that a former colleague of mine, James Hewitt, has kind of popularised. He puts us into three main brain states or cognitive gears and actually relates them to exercise." "I can imagine at that point, right, you're unplugging, you're going to spend time with your partner. If you then go back to work, that's going to create a whole new buzz of energy." "The kind of multitasking that humans are very good at is parallel processing multiple complex related skills at the same time."

Ayushman Bharat, the government's flagship programme to achieve universal health coverage (UHC), was launched in 2018. The scheme has two inter-related components: health and wellness centres and the Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PMJAY) that aims to provide a health cover of ₹5 lakh per family per year for secondary and tertiary care hospitalisation to over 12 crore families that form the bottom 40% of the population. PM-JAY has issued 34.27 crore cards. About 6.5 crore have received treatment and there are over 30,000 empanelled hospitals. However, over the past year, hospitals in some States have reported they are owed hundreds of crores in dues, and some are reportedly turning away or taking in fewer PMJAY patients. Does PMJAY need a design change? Here we discuss the issue.

Hugo speaks with Allen Downey, a curriculum designer at Brilliant, Professor Emeritus at Olin College, and the author of Think Python, Think Bayes, Think Stats, and other computer science and data science books. In 2019-20 he was a Visiting Professor at Harvard University. He previously taught at Wellesley College and Colby College and was a Visiting Scientist at Google. He is also the author of the upcoming book Probably Overthinking It! They discuss Allen's new book and the key statistical and data skills we all need to navigate an increasingly data-driven and algorithmic world. The goal was to dive deep into the statistical paradoxes and fallacies that get in the way of using data to make informed decisions. For example, when it was reported in 2021 that “in the United Kingdom, 70-plus percent of the people who die now from COVID are fully vaccinated,” this was correct but the implication was entirely wrong. Their conversation jumps into many such concrete examples to get to the bottom of using data for more than “lies, damned lies, and statistics.” They cover Information and misinformation around pandemics and the base rate fallacy; The tools we need to comprehend the small probabilities of high-risk events such as stock market crashes, earthquakes, and more; The many definitions of algorithmic fairness, why they can't all be met at once, and what we can do about it; Public health, the need for robust causal inference, and variations on Berkson's paradox, such as the low-birthweight paradox: an influential paper found that that the mortality rate for children of smokers is lower for low-birthweight babies; Why none of us are normal in any sense of the word, both in physical and psychological measurements; The Inspection paradox, which shows up in the criminal justice system and distorts our perception of prison sentences and the risk of repeat offenders.

Most likely you've heard of ChatGPT. But, you may not know that AI is also being applied in significant ways to healthcare: from smartphone apps, to systems that might eventually be able to offer us healthcare advice without waiting to talk to a doctor, to research applications like drug development. In this episode, we talk with someone whose career has been at the crossroads of medicine and technology for decades. We ask him what healthcare might look like in the future and discuss the promise of AI as well as some of the caution that's worth observing. Host David B. Feldman speaks with Dr. Mark Braunstein, Emeritus Professor of Practice at Georgia Tech and Visiting Scientist at the Australian E-Health Research Centre. The post 7/7/23 How Artificial Intelligence is Changing Healthcare appeared first on KPFA.

Richard Matthew Stallman leads the Free Software Movement, which shows how the usual non-free software subjects users to the unjust power of its developers, plus their spying and manipulation, and campaigns to replace it with free (freedom-respecting) software. Born in 1953, Stallman graduated Harvard in 1974 in physics. He worked at the MIT Artificial Intelligence Lab from 1971 to 1984, developing system software including the first extensible text editor Emacs (1976), plus the AI technique of dependency-directed backtracking, also known as truth maintenance (1975). In 1983 Stallman launched the Free Software Movement by announcing the project to develop the GNU operating system, planned to consist entirely of free software. Stallman began working on GNU on January 5, 1984, resigning from MIT employment in order to do so. In October 1985 he established the Free Software Foundation. Stallman invented the concept of copyleft, "Change it and redistribute it but don't strip off this freedom," and wrote (with lawyers) the GNU General Public License, which implements copyleft. This inspired Creative Commons. Stallman personally developed a number of widely used software components of the GNU system: the GNU Compiler Collection, the GNU symbolic debugger (gdb), GNU Emacs, and various others. The GNU/Linux system, which is a variant of GNU that also contains the kernel Linux developed by Linus Torvalds, is used in tens or hundreds of millions of computers. Alas, people often call the system "Linux", giving the GNU Project none of the credit. Their versions of GNU/Linux often disregard the ideas of freedom which make free software important, and even include nonfree software in those systems. Nowadays, Stallman focuses on political advocacy for free software and its ethical ideas. He spends most of the year travelling to speak on topics such as "Free Software And Your Freedom" and "Copyright vs Community in the Age of the Computer Networks". Another topic is "A Free Digital Society", which treats several different threats to the freedom of computer users today. In 1999, Stallman called for development of a free on-line encyclopedia through inviting the public to contribute articles. This idea helped inspire Wikipedia. Stallman was a Visiting Scientist at MIT from 1991 (approximately) to 2019. Free Software, Free Society is Stallman's book of essays. His semiautobiography, Free as in Freedom, provides further biographical information.

GodLight: Possibilities from the Intersections of Science and Spirituality by Bart BarthelemyThis book is about the intersections of science and spirituality.  It was initially motivated by my lifelong observation that light plays such an important role in many aspects of science.  But the real stimulus to write this book was the repeated number of spiritual learnings and experiences that involve light that I have had in recent years.  Because of this, I began to explore the significance of light in both disciplines.  The result of this investigation led to the concept of GodLight, the Light of God, that I believe is foundational to both science and spirituality.  Science is the study of the nature and behavior of natural things and the knowledge that we obtain about them.  Most readers of this book will likely have a general knowledge of science and how our world works.  The fundamental concepts in science are learned during our early education and greatly enhanced by the tremendous amount of information that is available today on the internet and television.  We have more scientific knowledge today than any generation that has lived before us.  Some of us who call ourselves scientist have more specific knowledge in certain areas of science but, in general, we are all aware of the key concepts in science, such as the Big Bang, the expansion of the universe, galaxies, black holes, our solar system, the planets around our sun, the earth, the evolution on human beings and the biological complexity of men and women.  These are the aspects of science that will be discussed in this book.Spirituality is the belief that there is something greater than ourselves, something more to being human than sensory experience, and that the greater whole of which we are a part is cosmic or divine in nature.  Most of us believe this and, while not exact, we often equate spirituality to religion.  At their core, most religions agree that there is a deity called God and that human beings need to respect and love each other.  There are many other specifics that separate the various religions but there are also an amazing number of commonalities.  These are the aspects of spirituality that will be discussed in this book.Each section will look for the intersections and overlap between science and spirituality in a particular area.  There is no attempt to conform science to spirituality or vice versa.  The focus is to simply examine the intersections to see if they suggest possibilities for a better understanding of each area.  If so, these possibilities could lead to opportunities for any of us to be more understanding, more respectful, more collaborative, and more loving.  Even though there are still great mysteries remaining to be studied and understood in both science and spirituality, what we now know and believe in each of these areas is more overlapping and connectable than ever before.As you read each section, ponder the marvels and mysteries of science and spirituality.  Let your mind and your imagination be open to possibilities.  In an attempt to categorize and simplify difficult concepts, the words used by each discipline are often the product of reductionism.  I urge you to think as holistically as possible in order to get beyond the limitations and compartmentalization that result from man-made linguistics and descriptions.  For centuries, human beings have generally separated these two disciplines and often struggled with the conflicts between science and spirituality.  Both science and spirituality are enormous subjects so the potential for overlap is high. This book is an invitation to look at the commonalities and confluence of these two areas so that there is more agreement than separation, more harmony than conflict, and more understanding than argument. Hopefully, the future could be better than the past.  Dr. Bart Barthelemy is the Founding Director of the Wright Brothers Institute and the President of the Collaborative Innovation Institute. Dr. Barthelemy was the National Director of the National Aerospace Plane Program, where he reported to the White House and was responsible for the development of the nation's hypersonic aerospace plane.

Near-death experience podcast 542 guest Dr. Karl Simanonok, Former Scientist who worked at Nasa that had a near death experience. During this podcast we talk about his NDE experience and what he learned from it. Dr. Karl Simanonok received his Ph.D. in Physiology (the study of the body) from the University of California at Davis, where his research involved the development of a new countermeasure to the headward fluid shift problem that astronauts experience in weightlessness. His postdoctoral work followed up on that research with computer modeling of the countermeasure at the NASA Johnson Space Center's Cardiovascular Laboratory as a Research Associate for the National Research Council, and later as a Visiting Scientist with the Universities Space Research Association. During his time at NASA JSC he also performed human research on other countermeasures which could be used to help dehydrated Shuttle astronauts returning from space retain more fluid volume upon landing, and he discovered significant statistical correlations in the historical astronaut biomedical data that linked for the first time, preflight variables relating to fluid shifts with the space sickness problem that affects many astronauts, sometimes severely and even dangerously. Dr. Simanonok was also invited to attend the first meeting between Russian and American space physiologists in history, in Vienna after the fall of the Soviet Union. In semi-retirement, Dr. Simanonok is developing and writing about the Nexus Theory of consciousness, the first and so far the only end-to-end physical description of how consciousness may be enabled in our brains, leaving no 'explanatory gaps'. Nexus Theory describes how the light our own living cells emit at very low levels called 'biophotons' are used in our brains to construct a 3D holographic 'nexus' (connection point) within the spaces of our brains that 'tunes in' resonantly to the holographic Source of consciousness spanning the entire volume of the universe in the Zero Point Energy, to enable consciousness in us. The inspiration for Nexus Theory arose from Dr. Simanonok's Near Death Experience many years before, and it explains in physical terms exactly HOW we are all One with that Light that so many NDErs report seeing or even merging with, as Dr. Simanonok did. You can find out more about the nexus theory at his website below. https://brainandconsciousness.com/ Dr. Simanonok's YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbbEOsCjCTXJwn7WVyCDU5A Dr. Simanonok's Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/groups/BrainAndConsciousness --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jeffrey-s-reynolds/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jeffrey-s-reynolds/support

Meet Catherine Read...She holds a Ph.D. in developmental psychology from UCLA and is a Visiting Scientist at Rutgers University and an Associate at Ithaca College.  She is also a mom of two daughters who decided to home school her girls using the Waldorf Method.  She tells her story and shares her book on the subject "The Genius of Home."  She also shares that you don't have to have a PhD to homeschool.  Both of Catherine's girls are now grown, have degrees, and professionals in their fields.  If your family is considering homeschooling, take a listen to this interview.  Hopefully I asked the right questions, the questions you would ask.  I also ask Catherine about her publishing process.  Her publisher, Steiner Books, sought her out to write this book.  Steiner is a traditional publisher and is very often the case these days, Catherine was expected to market her book.  She is learning the book marketing process as she goes and is in the process of financing an audio book version of "The Genius of Home."The book, "The Genius of Home" is a resource but it also a story - the story of one family's decision to homeschool and how it worked out for them.Catherine Read's Website with the video we mention in the podcast is TheGeniusofHome.org. Catherine invites you to email her with any questions: info@thegeniusofhome.org.Claudine Wolk Substack: Get Your Book Seen and SoldClaudine Wolk Website: ClaudineWolk.com Claudine's Instagram - @ClaudineWolkThis episode of Stories and Strategies for Women is brought to you by Eyebobs.  Enter code 'StoriesandStrat10" for a 10% discount at eyebobs.comand by ThriftBooks.com, the fun site to buy and collect used books.

Can AI really change the world? Or are its developing algorithms formalizing social injustice? When these highly-technical systems derive patterns from existing datasets, their models can perpetuate past mistakes.In this episode of the Innovation For All Podcast, Sheana Ahlqvist discusses with David Robinson the threats of social bias and discrimination becoming embedded in Artificial Intelligence.IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN: What is the role of technological advances in shaping society? What is the difference between Machine Learning vs. Artificial Intelligence? Social Justice Implications of Technology What are the limitations of finding patterns in previous data? How does should government regulate new, highly technical systems? The need for more resources and more thoughtfulness in regulating data Examples of data-driven issues in the private sector. Removing skepticism of regulatory agencies in examining data models. Authorities should remember that there are limits to what AI models can do.David is the co-founder of Upturn and currently a Visiting Scientist at the AI Policy and Practice Initiative in Cornell's College of Computing and Information Science. David touches on how government regulatory agencies should examine new AI models and systems, especially as the technology continues to creep its way into our day-to-day lives. David discusses the importance of “ground truthing.” David emphasizes looking at a technology's capabilities and limits before deciding on whether decision makers should implement it.Get shownotes for this an every episode at innovationforallcast.com or find us on Twitter @inforallpodcast.Original air date: 12/26/18Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/innovation-for-all/messageSupport this podcast: https://anchor.fm/innovation-for-all/support

Following the two devastating waves of the Covid-19 pandemic, for many of us in India and indeed in several regions across the world, haunting images of patients waiting outside hospitals and family members struggling to find a bed for their loved ones may not have faded from memory. To avoid a repeat of this tragic crisis, what are important lessons from this experience? How might we be better prepared in the future? We discuss this in detail with Dr. Nachiket Mor. Dr. Mor was a member of the Planning Commission's High-Level Expert Group on Universal Health Care, the Primary Care Task Force of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, and the Task Force on Global Health at the Academy of Medicine in Washington DC. His current work is principally focused on the design of national and regional health systems. He is currently a Visiting Scientist at The Banyan Academy of Leadership in Mental Health and a Senior Research Fellow at the Centre for Information Technology and Public Policy at IIIT Bangalore. In this conversation, Dr. Mor talks to us about the value of a primary care provider or PCP-led model. You can read more on this from Dr. Mor here and here.

OK, look, I won't lie, I do love talking to all of the people who have come on the podcast. But, there is one person I've been hoping to talk to since way back in Season 1. It's FIONA CROSS!Fiona got her BSc (Hons) in Psychology in 2001 before she began working with spiders and then she got her MSc (with Distinction) in Zoology in 2003 and her PhD in Zoology in 2009, with all three degrees being at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch, New Zealand. Dr. Cross first went to Kenya to work with spiders in 2006, and has been a Visiting Scientist at the International Centre of Insect Physiology and Ecology (in Kenya) since 2010. Her research interests include selective attention, working memory, expectancy violation, and problem solving by spiders. Fiona never used to think that spiders could be particularly interesting, but she has since learned that spiders can do many remarkable things that could keep a person awake at night.Dr. Cross has 46 publications, and her work has featured in many news sources including The New York Times, The Washington Post, National Geographic, BBC, The Guardian, The New Zealand Herald, and Radio New Zealand. Fiona is sorta famous really, to quote her 'I got a fright when I first discovered there is a Wikipedia page about me, and I had to sit down when I discovered that a video about me had been viewed 12,000 times in one day'.  (BTW, that fame is well deserved, she rocks).  As an aside, there used to e a wikipedia page about me, but it was deleted because I suck....She loves to communicate science, and has so far organized three of her own international speaking tours (one in the UK and two in North America). COVID permitting, she hopes to run a spider event for children at the Christchurch public library in October (the month of the year that arachnologists affectionately refer to as ‘Arachtober'). She's also keen on writing for all ages.You can learn more about her and her work at her website (www.doctorspider.net).mp3 download
