Amrit and Deepon sit down with Dr. Alexa Hecht, a new grad Optometrist from the University of Waterloo School of Optometry, to talk about her journey into practicing. Alexa shares the ups and downs of working in multiple practice locations six days a week, and how this work-life “imbalance” took a toll on her mental health and her attitude towards each location. Her story is very similar to many new grad Optometrists struggling to find their “perfect” practice setting while trying to balance student loan debt, networking, and managing stress. The end of the conversation ties in all of Dr. Hecht's lessons which she kindly shares for other Optometrists who are going through the same situation.  The Four Eyes Podcast is brought to you by YoungOD Connect Learn more about Dr. Alexa Hecht on TikTok and Instagram

Robotic automation has changed virtually every industry. Their ubiquity has moved from the assembly line to the house, from multi-axis manipulator arms to cute little vacuums and many other examples in between. I say “virtually” every industry because there is a major one that still lags far behind in embracing the precision, reliability and endless potential of robotics and automation: the making of buildings. Given how this is an industry notorious for inefficiency and waste – problems put into stark relief thanks to the pandemic – one must wonder why are we not seeing robots on the jobsite or in the design office? One reason is access to training. In this episode of Bevel, I enlist David Correa, an associate professor at the University of Waterloo School of Architecture and a partner at experimental design collaboration llLab, to help explore how limited access to robotics education is slowing down an industry already sluggish to adopt the exceptional potential this technology has for the built environment. We examine why there is no school in Canada (and very few worldwide) that has a dedicated program to explore how robotics integration could transform the building industry; how very few have courses or studios that actually engage research in architecture or construction using robotics; and discuss in what ways this deficiency is harming the A&D profession.

Dr. Nardine Nakhla's career has had one common denominator since her graduation in 2007 from Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences — striving to help as many people as possible.

In this episode of The Breakdown, Elise and Juliana explore how the teenage brain develops and the science behind it, along with how schools can cultivate a healthy learning environment. We interview Christina Swan, Ph.D. in Molecular Pathology and co-founder of Waterloo School in Austin, TX., and ask her about why Waterloo School is doing school differently.

As winter has set, and many people are excluded from the shelters due to so called diversion programs, they sleep rough, in the tents and abandoned buildings. They are all collectively displaced into the cracks of the city. We know their stories thanks to the partnership research project with University of Waterloo School of Planning professor Brian Doucet.

Displacement was not talked about in Kitchener-Waterloo as there were no community housing complexes being redeveloped, but a small scale, under the radar renovations and conversions of houses and low rise buildings. Through Life Stories of Displacement we are preserving some of the history of the process that has been changing the face of downtown and uptown thanks to the partnership with the University of Waterloo School of Planning.

Life Stories of Displacement opened up a bottom up critique of our relationships and ways we see the world. The interview was recorded through a partnership between the Social Development Centre Waterloo Region and University of Waterloo School of Planning in the summer of 2019 to make sure the history or displacement is not lost.

In a culture of shallow learning, shallow work, and shallow relationships, the Waterloo School of Austin is fostering deep learning, deep work, and deep relationships. The way we run schools was designed by 10 people back in the 1890s. Why should we be surprised that today's education system is not producing people ready to thrive in a dramatically changed world? The Waterloo School of Austin is a new high school that is changing how education is done.  In this episode, I talk to Craig Doerksen and Carol Blosser, two of the co-founders of the Waterloo School. If you are interested in developing young people into well-educated deep thinkers, this episode will be right up your alley!
