Podcasts about Waterloo

A number of scientists from around the world have come together to create a map of dark matter in the universe. Dr. Mike Hudson from the University of Waterloo is one of them and joined Mike Stubbs to explain what has been done.

Two theoretical physicists helped design landmark surveys of 1,600+ scientists on the deepest unsolved questions in physics — and found almost no consensus at all. From string theory's shockingly low support to physicists admitting their models run on "belief," this episode exposes the faith hiding inside science. Adam Frank (University of Rochester astrophysicist and astrobiologist) and Niayesh Afshordi (Perimeter Institute / University of Waterloo cosmologist, co-author of the APS Physics Magazine "Big Mysteries" survey) join Brian to unpack what physicists actually believe versus what they can prove. We cover: - Why string theory pulled a shockingly small share of the vote against loop quantum gravity - What a Bayesian "prior" reveals about every scientist's hidden beliefs - Why one branch of physics quietly became unfalsifiable - How sociology and "tastemakers" can hijack scientific consensus - Why AI might become the field's unlikely savior. There is no sane statistical analysis that doesn't have a prior — that's your belief.

In todays episode of fire fundamentals we talk with Professor Elizabeth Weckman from University of Waterloo about advanced optical diagnostics that let fire researchers read temperature, chemistry, soot, and velocity from light without relying only on probes. We break down what cameras, infrared imaging, spectroscopy, lasers, and PIV can reveal, plus the calibration and interpretation pitfalls that can quietly ruin your data. Things covered in this episode:• why optical diagnostics are “non-intrusive” in practice and where they still perturb the flow • limits of probe-based measurements in fire including spatial resolution and radiation errors • using basic photography and video as a first diagnostic and as a planning tool • calibration habits for cameras and why cheap, robust cameras are often a better choice for a fire laboratory • infrared thermography for surface heating plus emissivity problems and practical coatings • Schlieren imaging for density and temperature gradients and what it can and cannot imply • point vs planar vs line-of-sight vs tomographic measurements and how “smearing” happens • FTIR and absorption spectroscopy for pyrolysis gases, emissions, and toxic species • chemiluminescence and laser-induced fluorescence to mark combustion and flame fronts • Raman and CARS for temperature and concentration and why they are technically demanding • soot diagnostics from light extinction to laser-induced incandescence and aging effects • PIV basics, seeding challenges in fire, and what velocity fields unlock for validation The episode is best enjoyed along Beth's paper from the IAFSS: Unravelling the mysteries of fire----The Fire Science Show is produced by the Fire Science Media in collaboration with OFR Consultants.

En junio de 1815 dos ejércitos se enfrentaron en las llanuras de Bélgica en una batalla épica que cambiaría la faz de Europa, conocida como la batalla de Waterloo concluyó con una victoria de una alianza de fuerzas dirigidas por un general inglés, el duque de Wellington, y la derrota de las fuerzas francesas lideradas por Napoleón Bonaparte en una batalla en la que más de 50000 soldados perdieron la vida en un solo día siendo el desenlace incierto hasta las últimas horas de la contienda.

In 2023, the Iowa Legislature overhauled our property tax system with overwhelming bipartisan support. Part of that overhaul changed the way that many Iowa libraries and museums are funded, and the consequences of that change are making themselves known. On this episode, we talk with Billie Bailey, the retired executive director of the Grout Museum District in Waterloo, and Cindy Wells, president of the Board of Trustees for the Waterloo Public Library. Over 90% of the affected libraries and museums are at risk of budget cuts before the end of the 5-year sunset period, according to a report compiled by Bailey and Wells. Then, when tractors replaced horse-drawn implements, it revolutionized agriculture, and competition among tractor makers was fierce. We talk with Peter Tubbs, producer of Tractor Wars and Tractor Wars II from Iowa PBS, which tells that story. (Iowa PBS is an underwriter of IPR.)

In this sponsored episode of the Anglotopia Podcast — brought to you by ACP Rail and BritRail — Jonathan Thomas sits down with Tim Roebuck, a man who has spent his entire career in rail travel: station manager, head of BritRail Travel International in New York, senior VP at ACP Rail for 25 years, and one of the most knowledgeable people alive on the subject of getting around Britain by train. This is the episode Jonathan has wanted to make for a long time — a complete, practical, friendly guide to understanding and using the BritRail Pass, demystifying the network for international visitors, and unlocking the kind of trip most Americans never imagine is possible. They cover the history of British Rail and the coming Great British Railways rebrand, how London's multiple terminal stations work, the game-changing Elizabeth line, the best scenic routes in the country (from the East Coast Main Line's North Sea coastal run to the Far North Line to Wick and Thurso), how train ticket types actually work and why the BritRail Pass cuts through all the confusion, the difference between a consecutive and a flexi pass, what the pass does and doesn't cover, seat reservations, luggage tips, apps to use, and Tim's all-time favorite rail journey. Plus: a giveaway. To celebrate this episode, Anglotopia and ACP Rail are giving away a first-class BritRail four-day flexi pass. Enter at anglotopia.net/britrail. Giveaway closes August 15th.

Two hot Jupiters presented at the 248th American Astronomical Society meeting push our understanding of exoplanet atmospheres to the extreme. Research Scientist Tiffany Kataria from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory shares new JWST observations of HD80606 b, the "Roasted Planet,”a gas giant on one of the most eccentric orbits ever discovered. Assistant Professor Lisa Dang of the University of Waterloo joins to discuss CoRoT-2 b, a young, inflated hot Jupiter whose hottest point shows up in an unexpected location on the exoplanet, possibly because the planet hasn't fully tidally locked with its star yet. Then Chief Scientist Bruce Betts joins for What's Up to explore atmospheric super-rotation, winds that outrun the worlds they ride on.

Pastor Ben Hayter of Imanuel Lutheran Church in Waterloo, IL, joins the show to work through the CTCR's 2025 document, Unity in Doctrine, Uniformity and Variety in Practice. The document came from a 2019 synodical resolution asking the CTCR to define what Article III.7 of the LCMS Constitution actually means by "unity in doctrine and uniformity and variety in practice." The CTCR responds with six historical case studies — the Jerusalem Council, the Quartodeciman controversy, Luther's Invocavit Sermons, the adiaphoristic controversy behind Formula of Concord Article X, and two episodes from LCMS history: the Synod's founding and the debate over lay electors and women's suffrage. Hayter raises three unresolved questions the document leaves on the table. First: the difference between how to use adiaphora and whether something actually is adiaphora in the first place — a hermeneutical question of whether church practice requires an explicit command or whether necessary inference is sufficient warrant. Second: definitional looseness around key terms like "responsible," "required," "insist," and "retain" — words that carry very different weight depending on who's doing the requiring, God by His Word or the Synod by human right. Third: even once something is settled as adiaphora, the document doesn't resolve which practices are wise and which are foolish to adopt — that work is left to pastors and congregations, argued from Scripture rather than mere preference. The conversation lands on a practical charge: use this document as a starting point for real conversation among brother pastors — in circuit Winkels, district boards, and eventually Synod conventions — grounded in reasons drawn from Scripture and the Confessions, not personal whim. Topics covered: Background on CTCR study documents and Resolution 5-11 (2019 convention) The six case studies: Jerusalem Council, Quartodeciman controversy, Luther's Invocavit Sermons, the adiaphoristic controversy, the Synod's founding, lay electors/women's suffrage The hermeneutical question: explicit command vs. necessary inference in determining adiaphora Defining loaded terms: "responsible," "required," "retain," "insist" Whether a practice being adiaphora settles whether it's wise to use Next steps: Winkel discussions, district conventions, and synodical bylaws as means of working this out ----more---- Host: Fr.

Send us Fan MailA baby shows up at Southfork Ranch, and it should feel like pure joy, but Bobby Ewing looks like he's about to crack. Baby Christopher lights Pam up in an instant, and watching that transformation is equal parts sweet and terrifying because Bobby knows the adoption is illegal, and the truth behind the child could detonate the entire Ewing family. Then J.R. Ewing does what J.R. does best: he turns custody into a business weapon. Miss Ellie corners him over emptied reserves and a bill coming due, and he admits he hoarded oil to pressure Clayton Farlow into pushing Sue Ellen out. The plan backfires, the oil price drops, and Ewing Oil nearly bleeds out. Ellie heads to San Angelo, makes a deal with Clayton, and saves the family finances while quietly proving she's still the smartest power in the room. From there, the episode stacks dominoes: Ray and Donna's marriage grinds against pride and money, Mitch steps deeper into his medical storyline with a plastic surgery case, and Afton's return signals more drama on deck. Everything funnels into the courthouse, where J.R. threatens to humiliate Sue Ellen with witnesses and headlines, only for the judge to deliver a custody ruling that reshapes the battlefield and hits J.R. where it hurts most. If you love Dallas recaps, vintage primetime soap opera breakdowns, and character-driven drama at Southfork, press play, then subscribe, share with a fellow soap fan, and leave a review.

El 15 de julio de 1815, Napoleón Bonaparte se rindió al capitán Frederick Maitland tras su derrota definitiva en Waterloo. El hombre que había dominado la mayor parte de Europa durante quince años terminó sus días exiliado en la remota isla de Santa Elena. Sus secretarios personales documentaron que lo que más lo destruía no era la soledad del exilio, sino la pérdida del control. El control había sido su dios, y perderlo, resultó más devastador que cualquier derrota militar. El control es una ilusión que reconforta mientras dura. Cuando se pierde, y siempre se pierde en algún punto, el alma que no ha aprendido a confiar queda desamparada. Pero quien ha practicado la entrega a Dios encuentra en esos momentos no el vacío del control perdido, sino la firmeza de la soberanía divina que no falla. De modo que, no todas las variables te corresponden gestionarlas. Algunas pertenecen a Dios desde antes de que llegaras a ellas. Suéltalas con paz, porque allí donde el control termina, la fe empieza. La Biblia dice en Salmos 46:10: "Estad quietos, y conoced que yo soy Dios". (RV1960).

Danielle Smith announces a $13 billion Meta data centre in Sturgeon County, Alberta, set to be the largest in Canada.In contrast to Carney's federal A.I. strategy, which promised clean, sovereign, and ethical A.I., Smith refers to the Meta project as a “digital refinery,” fuelled by a natural gas plant that will be built to power it. Instead of digital sovereignty, is Canada going to end up being a branch-plant, resource economy at the service of Big Tech? Plus, the best Canadian films you probably haven't seen, and Big Tech's new hiring target: philosophers.

What does it take to write the very first check into a company that has almost nothing to show yet, sometimes not even a finished idea?Afore Capital helped invent the pre-seed category. When Gaurav Jain and Anamitra Banerji started the firm ten years ago, "pre-seed" was almost a slight, a label for founders who couldn't raise a proper seed round. They set out to build the world's largest pre-seed fund anyway, closing $47 million on a $40 million target, and every fund since has closed above plan. Afore now runs more than $500 million across four funds, with top-quartile DPI on the first three. The idea has become so mainstream that when Sequoia launched its latest fund, it said, "I guess we're pre-seed investors too."The real substance of the conversation is how Gaurav thinks. He is clear about what matters most in venture, and the order tends to surprise people. Being in the very best companies matters more than anything else, ownership comes after that, and the entry price that so many investors fixate on matters least, because fifty per cent of zero is still zero. He is also convinced that the genuine bottleneck is talent. There is a great deal of money in the world and very few people who can build something truly large, which is why at the earliest stage founders tend to choose their investors as much as investors choose them. You give a founder a million dollars with no collateral, and then you still have to convince them to take it. A pre-seed pitch, he says, is almost entirely storytelling with very little data behind it.If you want to understand how the earliest checks actually get written, and what it really costs to say no, this episode is worth your time.00:00 - Trailer01:00 - From Dehradun to Google to starting Afore02:08 - The Waterloo co-op that talked him out of every job03:18 - Back when "pre-seed" was an insult05:44 - When Sequoia said "I guess we're pre-seed investors too"07:26 - Afore's three products, and the experiments that failed09:01 - Hightouch was a travel company when they invested11:02 - Goldcast: no visa, no money, funded anyway12:07 - The through line is always the team14:44 - The Ramp miss17:24 - "Founders pick us more than we pick them"18:45 - The constraint isn't capital, it's talent22:24 - The Solana miss, when it was still Loom Protocol24:46 - Ramp's Super Bowl ad, the buses, his wife's business25:32 - What he looks for in founders28:50 - Coachability, happy ears, and the Mom Test31:28 - The biggest mistake: falling in love with the idea35:04 - The three things that matter, and "50% of zero is still zero"39:25 - "100% storytelling, 0% data"41:25 - Investing in India, and the fear of being dumb capital44:41 - "Sign the deal before Monday"47:26 - One engineer now does the job of 2051:43 - Raising from LPs, the undiscussed part of VC-------------India's talent has built the world's tech—now it's time to lead it.This mission goes beyond startups.

The Erics sit down with bone health expert Dr. Lora Giangregorio, a professor of kinesiology at the University of Waterloo, to unpack what's actually known about how bone adapts to resistance training. The conversation covers why bone changes so slowly, the many sources of measurement error in DEXA scans, and why so much of the exercise-and-bone literature is underpowered and hard to interpret. Dr. G makes a central practical case: for building bone, the message shouldn't be "lift heavy" but rather "work hard." Emphasizing high effort over intimidating absolute loads lowers the barrier to entry, especially for older and osteoporotic populations, while still driving progressive overload. She argues the best current bet is combining moderate-to-high-intensity resistance training with impact work, introduced gradually on a foundation of strength. Along the way she debunks popular but weakly supported interventions, including weighted vests and whole-body vibration platforms, and discusses the difference between biological aging and simple chronic inactivity in bone loss.

So why does so much of that research still commercialize outside of Canada?In this episode of TechSurge, host Nic Brathwaite puts that question to four leaders at two of Canada's top research universities: Mary Wells (Dean of Engineering) and Chris Houser (Dean of Science) at the University of Waterloo, and Heather Sheardown (Dean of Engineering) and Gianni Parise (VP Research) at McMaster.At Waterloo, Mary Wells traces how the university's origin produced one of the world's most influential co-op programs and a creator-owned IP policy that lets inventors keep their ideas, making the school a talent engine for global tech. The group digs into Canada's AI paradox, foundational research and talent but far less of the economic value, and what quantum, robotics, and advanced manufacturing show about getting research to market.McMaster runs a different model, built on health sciences, nuclear research, and problem-based learning. Heather Sheardown explains the McMaster Method and why it matters in an AI-shaped future. Gianni Parise argues for commercialization as a core university function, with work spanning AI-assisted drug discovery, inhaled vaccines, critical-mineral-free motors, and a campus nuclear reactor that supplies much of the world's iodine-125 for prostate cancer treatment. They also unpack Fusion Pharmaceuticals, the McMaster spin-out acquired by AstraZeneca, and what it reveals about university commercialization.Together, these conversations ask what universities must become in an era defined by AI, deep tech, national competitiveness, and the urgent need to move ideas from the lab into the world.Sign up for our newsletter at techsurgepodcast.com for updates on upcoming TechSurge Live Summits and future episodes.Speaker Profiles and LinksMary Wells - University of Waterloo Profile: https://uwaterloo.ca/engineering/about/dean-engineerinChris Houser - University of Waterloo profile: https://uwaterloo.ca/earth-environmental-sciences/profile/chouserHeather Sheardown - McMaster Engineering profile: https://www.eng.mcmaster.ca/chemeng/faculty/dr-heather-sheardown/Gianni Parise - McMaster Experts Profile: https://experts.mcmaster.ca/people/parisegChapters: 0:00 Highlights0:56 Welcome 2:39 Waterloo's origin story 4:51 Creator-owned IP and the Waterloo model 7:42 The Co-op Flywheel 8:56 Canada's AI paradox: world-class research, slower domestic value capture 10:21 AI, Regulation, Trust, and Canadian Competitiveness 17:09 Rethinking the PhD for Commercialisation 21:43 Inside Waterloo's labs 30:14 What Waterloo wants to be in ten years: builders of the country 32:39 Meet McMaster: health sciences, nuclear capability, and research intensity 34:12 The McMaster Method 35:11 Research, Health, and Commercialisation 40:45 McMaster Labs: Heat, Motors and Health Innovation 47:13 Bioinnovation, Nuclear Research and Fusion Pharmaceuticals 58:43 The university of 2035: less lecture, deeper societal impact References Mentioned and Further ReadingUniversity of Waterloo Policy 73 - Intellectual Property Rights: https://uwaterloo.ca/secretariat/policies-procedures-guidelines/policies/policy-73-intellectual-property-rightsUniversity of Waterloo - Our IP policy: https://uwaterloo.ca/entrepreneurship/our-ip-policyUniversity of Waterloo Co-op programs: https://uwaterloo.ca/future-students/co-opUniversity of Waterloo - Academy of Research Commercialization: https://uwaterloo.ca/conrad-school-entrepreneurship-business/graduate-students/academy-research-commercialization-arcOpen Quantum Design: https://openquantumdesign.org/Institute for Quantum Computing, University of Waterloo: https://uwaterloo.ca/institute-for-quantum-computing/CIFAR - Pan-Canadian Artificial Intelligence Strategy: https://cifar.ca/ai/Government of Canada / ISED - Pan-Canadian Artificial Intelligence Strategy: https://ised-isde.canada.ca/site/ised/en/pan-canadian-artificial-intelligence-strategyStatistics Canada - Understanding Canada's innovation paradox: https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/36-28-0001/2024007/article/00002-eng.htmCouncil of Canadian Academies - Innovation and Business Strategy: Why Canada Falls Short: https://cca-reports.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/2009-06-11-innovation-report-1.pdfKPMG / University of Melbourne - Trust, attitudes and use of artificial intelligence: https://assets.kpmg.com/content/dam/kpmg/ca/pdf/2025/07/trust-in-ai-en-report.pdfMcMaster - Our approach to teaching and learning / Problem-Based Learning: https://provost.mcmaster.ca/teaching-learning/our-approach/McMaster - Evidence-based medicine: https://fhshrwelcome.mcmaster.ca/did_you_know/evidence-based-medicine/McMaster Nuclear Reactor - Medical Isotopes: https://nuclear.mcmaster.ca/medical-isotopes/McMaster Industry Liaison Office - IP and commercialization FAQ: https://research.mcmaster.ca/mcmaster-industry-liaison-office-milo/ip-education/intellectual-property-guides/faqs/McMaster - AstraZeneca to acquire McMaster-supported Fusion Pharmaceuticals: https://news.mcmaster.ca/astrazeneca-to-acquire-mcmaster-supported-fusion-pharmaceuticals/Fusion Pharmaceuticals - FACIT investment and CPDC spin-out background: https://fusionpharma.com/facit-announces-investment-in-fusion-pharmaceuticals-and-alpha-emitting-radiotherapeutics/PubMed - Evidence-based medicine and problem-based learning at McMaster: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31617018/ScienceDirect - Fifty Years on: The first problem-based learning programme at McMaster:

Pigeons: The Heroic Communicators of Modern Warfare Guest: Stephen Moss Book Title: Ten Birds That Changed the World The humble pigeon is celebrated for its extraordinary homing skills, which Moss describes as making it the "ultimate mailman." While legends like the Rothschilds using pigeons to profit from the Battle of Waterloo are mostly myth, the bird's real-world contributions to communication during the World Wars were pivotal. During D-Day, radio silence was mandatory, and pigeons were released from Normandy beaches to carry news of successful landings back to Britain. Moss highlights Cher Ami, a pigeon that saved a New York battalion from "friendly fire" despite being severely wounded. These birds were so effective that the British military even deployed a unit to hunt peregrine falcons to protect pigeon messengers. Moss notes the paradox of the pigeon: often dismissed as urban pests, they were actually reliable, "unturnable" assets that saved the democratic world through their instinctual drive to return home.

Before Napoleon's legendary Marshals, France was already producing some of the greatest military leaders in European history. In this episode, we explore 4 remarkable Marshals of France whose achievements helped shape the French Army long before Austerlitz, Jena, and Waterloo.Special guest Jonathan Abel discusses the Comte de Rochambeau, whose leadership alongside George Washington helped secure victory at Yorktown during the American Revolution; the Duc de Broglie, one of France's most capable commanders during the Seven Years' War and an important military innovator, the Marquis de Castries, the naval reformer and statesman who strengthened French military power in the years before the French Revolution; and the Marquis de Ségur, the reform-minded Minister of War who helped modernize the French military.These forgotten marshals bridged the gap between the armies of Louis XIV and the armies of Napoleon, laying foundations that would influence French warfare for generations. From battlefields across Europe to the American War of Independence, their stories reveal how the French military evolved into the force that would later dominate the continent under Napoleon.X/Twitter: @andnapoleon#Napoleon #FrenchHistory #MarshalOfFrance #Rochambeau #AmericanRevolution #NapoleonicWars #MilitaryHistory #FrenchArmy #Yorktown #LouisXVI #SevenYearsWar #Broglie #Castries #HistoryPodcast #GeneralsAndNapoleon

The French Revolution didn't end in tyranny. It invented a new kind.History calls Napoleon a genius. That story isn't wrong — it's just incomplete. The real engine wasn't genius. It was architecture. Ballot boxes surrounded by bayonets. Referendums written before the votes were cast. Prefects in every province. Bonds that turned rich men into loyalty machines. Then Louis Napoleon ran the same playbook forty years later — a December coup, a midnight constitution, and Haussmann's boulevards designed for troop movement, not just beauty.The Bonapartes didn't seize power. They built a machine that asked the people to hand it over and engineered only one possible answer. This video walks the full autopsy — the five architectural pieces that held plebiscitary empire together, why Waterloo didn't kill the template, and what the modern version of the same machine looks like.═══════════════════════════════

Americans tend to see the Declaration of Independence and the Revolutionary War as milestones in world history that inaugurated the era of modern democracy. But the British, unsurprisingly, see these events quite differently. David Remnick talks with the historians who host the popular podcast “The Rest Is History,” Dominic Sandbrook and Tom Holland. Growing up in Britain, Sandbrook explains, the Revolution seemed like “a parade of quite boring men talking very earnestly about liberty, [with] battles that involved twenty people in a field somewhere. . . . It's not Waterloo!” The King was “annoyed” to lose the thirteen colonies to the new nation, but, for his government, “it could have been a lot worse.” Sandbrook and Holland discuss historical events that overshadow the American Revolution in the British mind; the 1619 Project and the subject of slavery; the “colossally consequential” Presidency of Donald Trump; and the fate of the British monarchy.Further reading :  “Was the Declaration of Independence Better Before the Edits?” by Jill Lepore.  “The American Revolution Wasn't the Main Event” by Daniel Immerwahr. “Two Hundred and Fifty Years of Complicated Commemorations" by Jelani Cobb The Political Scene draws on the reporting and analysis found in The New Yorker for lively conversations about the big questions in American politics.

Leslie John (Revealing: The Underrated Power of Oversharing) is a behavioral scientist, Harvard Business School professor, and expert on privacy, self-disclosure, and decision-making. Leslie joins Armchair Expert to discuss growing up in Waterloo, Canada, training professionally in ballet as a child, and how her family's irrational penny-pinching sparked her fascination with human behavior. Leslie and Dax talk about why people are more open to revealing their dark secrets on a sketchy-looking website over a more official looking one, how one mortifying overshare helped her find lifelong mentors, and what parasocial relationships reveal about modern intimacy. Leslie explains why secrets take up cognitive space, how vulnerability creates trust through social risk, and why we may be better off sharing a little more than we think we should.Check Allstate first for a quote that could save you hundreds: https://www.allstate.com/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
