America and Israel's attacks on Iran have dominated the news all week. The bombs are literally half a world away from regional Australia - but the flow on effects are widespread and do feel close to home, including for Iranians living in Australia, those caught up travelling in the regions and on every day activities from filling up to bowsers to regional Australians who expert lamb or yoghurt.
ChatGPT has been in the news a lot lately and, as a result, quite a few STEM-Talk listeners have tossed us questions about the reliability and limitations of generative-artificial intelligence chatbots as well as large-language models more broadly. Ken and Dawn tackle this question and a number of others in today's Ask Me Anything episode. We have listeners wondering why astronauts train in underwater conditions for spacewalks; icebreakers in antarctica; the value of supplementing with urolithin-A; and the effectiveness of L-citrulline in helping aging blood vessels. Ken also weights in on questions related to lithium deficiency and the onset of Alzheimer's disease; a study that found mTOR activation may not be necessary for ketamine's beneficial effects in the context of depression; and a paper that demonstrated short-term mTOR inhibition by rapamycin improved cardiac and endothelial function in older men. Show notes: [00:02:49] Ken opens our AMA with a listener question for Dawn, which asks why, despite the differences between diving and zero-gravity environments, why do astronauts train in underwater conditions for spacewalks. The listener goes on to mention an article they read about NASA's neutral buoyancy lab in Houston, which contains a partial replica of the International Space Station. [00:07:42] A listener asks Ken if he is still optimistic about the value of supplementing with urolithin-A, and if so, is there a brand he recommends. Ken mentions episodes 118, with Julie Anderson, and 173, with Anurag Singh. Ken also discusses a paper titled “Effect of the mitophagy inducer urolithin A on age related immune decline, a randomized placebo-controlled trial” co-authored by Anurag. Ken also mentions clinical research supporting the urolithin-A supplement Mitopure. [00:10:53] A listener asks Ken about a paper titled “Short-term mTOR inhibition by rapamycin improves cardiac and endothelial function in older men: a proof-of-concept pilot study.” [00:14:29] Ken discusses a 2020 paper from a research group at Yale, which suggested that mTOR activation may not be necessary for ketamine's beneficial effects in the context of depression. The paper also reported that m-TOR suppression via rapamycin might prolong ketamine's antidepressant effects. [00:18:47] A research scientist formerly working in Antarctica asks Ken about Russia's dominance in the realm of ice breakers. [00:23:55] A listener mentions that for some people, when they used ChatGPT to ask about the assassination of political commentator Charlie Kirk, ChatGPT sometimes responded by denying the assassination occurred. The listener asks Ken about the credibility and reliability of generative AI and large-language models. [00:28:49] Several listeners have submitted questions for Ken regarding a paper published in Nature in August of last year titled “Lithium deficiency in the onset of Alzheimer's disease.” Ken gives his thoughts on this paper. [00:31:56] For our final question this AMA, a listener asks Ken about the arginine paradox, which regards L-arginine, which is used by the body to make nitric oxide, which is necessary to relax and maintain flexibility of blood vessels. However, several papers have reported that supplementation of arginine does not reliably improve aging blood vessels. In contrast, recent research suggests that L-citrulline might be more effective. The listeners sent questions asking about the possible effects of citrulline in vascular health and aging. In his answer, Ken cites the following papers: — Administration of L-arginine plus L-citrulline or L-citrulline alone successfully retarded endothelial senescence. — Effects of L-Citrulline Supplementation on Endothelial Function, Arterial Stiffness, and Blood Glucose Level in the Fasted and Acute Hyperglycemic States in Middle-Aged and Older Adults with Type 2 Diabetes. — Citrulline Supplementation Improves Microvascular Function and Muscle Strength in Middle-Aged and Older Adults with Type 2 Diabetes. — Effects of L-citrulline supplementation and watermelon intake on arterial stiffness and endothelial function in middle-aged and older adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. — Citrulline regulates macrophage metabolism and inflammation to counter aging in mice.

takeaways The NFL Combine generates excitement but can lead to overreactions. Not all athletic performances translate to on-field success. Draft capital is crucial for running backs in the NFL. Wide receiver speed was a highlight of this year's Combine. Players like Emmett Johnson and Kenyon Sadiq showed varying levels of performance. Combine results can influence rookie draft positions significantly. Quarterback performances were less impactful due to limited testing. It's important to maintain perspective on Combine results. Excitement for rookies can lead to more trades in fantasy leagues. Understanding player profiles is key to evaluating Combine performances.

In this second part of our series on engineering organizations, Jeff and Luca explore how companies that build products should focus their efforts differently depending on their stage and scope. We start with startups and early-stage companies desperately searching for product-market fit, where the brutal truth is: quality doesn't matter yet. Your MVP should embarrass you—if it doesn't, you waited too long. We discuss the critical mental shift from throwaway prototypes to proper engineering once validation arrives, and why technical founders often fail by solving the wrong problem brilliantly. Moving up the ladder, we examine narrow-focus companies that have found their niche—like the German firm that does nothing but maintain a 100-year-old anchor chain machine, or specialists in medium-power electrical switches. These companies win through efficiency and deep expertise, but face existential risk if the market shifts. Finally, we tackle wide-focus companies introducing multiple product lines, where the challenge becomes running internal startups while managing established products, each requiring radically different approaches. The key insight: your focus must match your product's lifecycle stage, whether that's ruthless speed, cost optimization, or high-level process learning. Key Topics [02:30] Startups and early-stage companies: the existential search for product-market fit [06:45] The MVP philosophy: if you're not embarrassed, you waited too long [11:20] Quality vs. speed vs. scope: why quality doesn't matter in early stages [15:40] The Potemkin village approach: building facades to validate demand [19:15] Embedded products and MVPs: when physical products need creative shortcuts [23:50] The critical switch: from prototypes to proper engineering after validation [28:30] Narrow-focus companies: German hidden champions and deep specialization [34:10] Wide-focus companies: running internal startups within established organizations [40:25] Product teams and parallel focuses: managing different lifecycle stages simultaneously [45:00] Large established companies: high-level process learning and avoiding organizational weight Notable Quotes "If you read the Lean Startup, they will explicitly say: if you weren't embarrassed by your MVP, you waited too long. It really has to be painfully flimsy because you cannot afford to do it well." — Luca "Quality doesn't even factor because you're very explicitly building mock-ups from chewing gum and paper mache. They are fully intended to be thrown away." — Luca "Getting that product-market fit is existential. You will die if you do not get it and get it relatively quickly." — Jeff Resources Mentioned The Lean Startup - Eric Ries' book discussing MVP philosophy and the importance of being embarrassed by your first product The Mom Test - Rob Fitzpatrick's book about getting real customer feedback and validation through financial commitment The Art of Innovation - Tom Kelley's book on IDEO's design process, including the clothespin switch story Luca's Website - Trainings on embedded agile, AI in embedded systems, and more Jeff's Website - Consulting services for medical device software development You can find Jeff at https://jeffgable.com.You can find Luca at https://luca.engineer.Want to join the agile Embedded Slack?

Today on the Daily Nugget, Mike reflects on Matthew 7:13, where Jesus warns that the gate is narrow and the road is hard that leads to life—and few find it. This sobering teaching reminds us that following Christ isn't about drifting with the crowd but intentionally choosing the way of obedience and trust. Yet the narrow road is not meant to discourage us; it's an invitation to wholehearted discipleship and the abundant life Jesus promises to those who walk with Him.

If you head for orbit around Jupiter, you might want to take along your dust mop. Wide but thin rings encircle the planet. And they’re made of tiny particles of dust. Jupiter’s rings are nothing like the magnificent set that encircles Saturn. The rings are so faint, in fact, that they weren’t discovered until 1979, when the Voyager 1 spacecraft flew close to Jupiter. The system consists of four main rings. The inner ring, known as the halo, contains especially tiny particles, like a thin haze. The particles in the main ring are a little larger, but still quite small. And the two outer rings – known as gossamer rings – are wide and thick, but still don’t add up to much. The particles that make up the rings probably were chipped off of some the small moons that orbit close to Jupiter. Chunks of ice and rock slam into the moons, blasting out clouds of debris. The particles in the rings spiral into Jupiter quickly – within hundreds or thousands of years. So the rings are being constantly replenished by more impacts – adding to the dusty environment around the solar system’s largest planet. Jupiter teams up with the Moon and the twins of Gemini tonight. The planet looks like a brilliant star below the Moon at nightfall. It’s far brighter than any of the true stars. Gemini’s twins – the stars Castor and Pollux – line up to the lower left of the Moon. More about this beautiful grouping tomorrow. Script by Damond Benningfield

If you're a wedding photographer who thinks you have to choose between getting the photo OR the video, this episode is going to completely rewire how you think about hybrid shooting.In this live Hang w/ Shay episode of the Hybrid Hangout podcast, I'm breaking down the exact mental framework I use on a wedding day so I'm never guessing, never scrambling, and never worried about missing something.Here's the core of it:You're not taking one photo and then grabbing random clips.You're capturing the same five perspectives as BOTH photo and video so you walk away with complete coverage every time.Wide photo → 5-second wide videoLong photo → 5-second long videoClose photo → 5-second close videoDetail photo → 5-second detail videoB-roll photo → 5-second b-roll videoThat's the system. It keeps you grounded in how photographers already see scenes while layering in just enough motion to tell a story later.This isn't about turning yourself into a filmmaker overnight. It's about realizing you already know how to see moments. You just need a repeatable plan for what to capture while you're there.We also talk about why more cameras and bigger teams don't automatically make you a better hybrid shooter, how intentional coverage actually improves your galleries, and the mindset shift that makes hybrid feel simple instead of overwhelming.MEDIA REC:Go watch something visually stunning and study the framing and storytelling. A few ideas: Pride and Prejudice (2005), One Day on Netflix, or Age of Adeline. Pay attention to what each shot is doing in the story, then try applying that thinking to your next wedding.DM me what you watched and what inspired you: https://www.instagram.com/hybridhangout/FLOWERS:Shoutout to Emily from ETC Photography and Elevated Shoots for her inclusive styled shoot series in Crested Butte this July.https://www.instagram.com/elevatedshootsetc/If you take one thing from this episode, let it be this: hybrid shooting doesn't require more coverage, it just requires more intention.Try the five-perspective approach at your next wedding, even if it's just during one part of the day, and watch how much more confident you feel going into the edit.And if you want help actually implementing this into your business, DM me @hybridhangout or book a call and we can talk about whether Hybrid Hub is the right move for you.BOOK A CALL: https://montanadiaries.hbportal.co/schedule/6998c7e634e3bd00335c5184Hybrid Hub is my program for wedding and elopement photographers who want to add video, raise their prices, and build a business that makes sense long term.

On the 63rd episode of Enterprise AI Innovators, hosts Evan Reiser (co-founder and CEO, Abnormal AI) and Saam Motamedi (General Partner, Greylock Partners) talk with Lev Gonick, Chief Information Officer at Arizona State University (ASU). ASU treats AI like a product and a platform: build internal capacity, run structured grant cycles to surface real workflows, and ship a “builder” that can support tens of thousands of users. Gonick also lays out why student agency matters, and why universities that wait for vendors risk becoming “nothing but vendor management.”Quick hits from Lev:On building an internal AI acceleration team: “We literally took, initially 20 and now it's 40 people dedicated from morning till night working on platform technology, security, compliance, tooling, building tools to support what we knew that needed to grow up to be, again, a low code, no code kind of environment.”On scaling demand through structured internal grants: “We thought there be, you know, 40 or 50 great ideas, you know, as we speak today. Now we're through through four full rounds of engagements. We have over 600 projects in-flight, right now.”On fixing the friction-filled student journey with AI: “Focus in on transforming the ways in which students have to navigate incredibly, difficult, friction-filled, journey. Applying for, getting into, having to do financial aid, landing in a dorm room, [solving] some of the back office through again tools that they're using in their consumer life.”Recent Book Recommendation: Capitalism: A Global History by Sven Beckert--Like what you hear?

This episode, we're talking with Becca Schweitzer, Client Strategist at O.C. Tanner, about the top three things you should keep in mind when planning for your next company-wide recognition event like Employee Appreciation Day. Becca partners with our clients to plan successful, meaningful recognition events throughout the year. She also has on-the-ground experience working in HR for a healthcare organization as an employee engagement coordinator, planning (and cleaning up after) these important appreciation moments. Stick around for the end of the episode where we talk about ideas you can implement at your own workplace. Takeaways: Start your planning with feedback and lessons learned from previous events. What went well? What was difficult for your HR team? What resonated with employees? This will help you craft your event plan: dates, times, communications, gifts, and experiences. Involve leaders early in the planning process to deliver meaningful, inclusive recognition moments. Your leaders know your people best, and they will be key in delivering this recognition experience—especially for offline or remote teammates. Maximize impact beyond the event. Use this time to showcase your recognition tools, teach your people when and how to use them, and encourage behaviors by rewarding employees who use recognition tools the most. The Culture by Design podcast is created by O.C. Tanner, the global leader in software and services that improve workplace culture through meaningful employee recognition.

This week's Frankly is another edition of Nate's Wide Boundary News series, where he invites listeners to view the constant churn of headlines through a wider-boundary lens. Today's edition features reflections on renewable energy and CO2 emission trends, updates on species adaptability, and a discussion about nuclear treaties and Iran. Nate ties each topic to the larger story of the Great Simplification, updating listeners on what pathways might be available to pursue the long-term stability of humanity in the biosphere. What does ecological simplification teach us about resilience in human systems? When we celebrate "progress" in the form of rising renewable energy or flattening emissions, where might we be ignoring hidden system-level costs? And how has repeated exposure to "contained" geopolitical conflict changed our collective perception of risk, particularly in the West?

Cambridge Happenings with Connie Johnson, Burrito Fundraiser, National Honor Society Hygiene Collection, Easter Egg Hunt, City-Wide Yard Sales, and City-Wide Clean-Up. Cambridge National Honor Society students are kicking off their Comfort and Care Drive, collecting essentials for the Viking Vault at the high school. Donations of toiletries, hats, gloves, socks, laundry detergent, and non-perishable food are needed and can be dropped off at the school or at donation jars in local businesses until the 27th. Mark your calendars for the annual Easter Egg Hunt on March 28th at 2 PM, with staggered time slots by age group and a special appearance by the Easter bunny. Citywide yard sales are set for May 8th and 9th, followed by a citywide cleanup on May 15th.
Try designing a checkout flow that handles everything from dog food to pallets of cattle feed to live chickens. Now make it work flawlessly when your customer is standing on the far side of their 60-acre property with a weak cell signal. That's the daily reality at Tractor Supply, and it's exactly why their non-technical leader running digital might be their biggest advantage.Join hosts Chuck Moxley and Nick Paladino as we sit down with Matthew Rubin, President of Digital and E-Commerce at Tractor Supply, whose career spans retail operations, merchant roles, and store management before landing in digital. Matthew explains why they're mobile-native, designing web experiences specifically for customers walking around properties who need to quickly reorder feed without pulling out a laptop. We explore how COVID created an unexpected surge in self-sufficiency seekers, why Tractor Supply puts "Buy It Again" as a primary header when competitors bury it, and how delivering diversity creates logistics nightmares that become competitive advantages. Matthew reveals why their drivers don't just drop pallets at the end of driveways but ask where on the property customers want deliveries and take notes for the next driver. We discuss how omnichannel customers visit stores more often (not less) because BOPIS drives additional foot traffic, why their 20,000 square foot fusion stores put team members right at the front welcoming customers, and how their Scout AI platform answers "how do I" questions based on local climate and customer needs. Key Actionable Takeaways:Design for your customer's actual context, not ideal conditions - Mobile-native means optimizing for weak cell signals on rural properties where customers manage animals and land, not just making responsive layouts that work on phonesElevate repeat purchase functionality to primary navigation - Put "Buy It Again" as a header instead of burying it in order history; saving seconds matters when customers are juggling chores and multiple animal feed typesTrain delivery teams to personalize last-mile experiences - Have drivers ask where on properties customers want bulky items dropped and document preferences so future drivers know, creating neighborhood-level service at scaleWant more tips and strategies about creating frictionless digital experiences?

BONUS: From Individual AI Wins to Team-Wide Transformation What happens when the leaders we trust to guide transformation become the bottleneck slowing it down? In this episode, Monica Marquez—with 25+ years in people transformation at Goldman Sachs, Google, and beyond—reveals why the old equation of effort equals success is breaking down, and what leaders must unlearn to thrive in the age of AI. The Leadership Crisis Nobody Trained You For "No one ever really teaches you what it really takes to be a leader. You know what you do really well, but how do you help other people do that too? That's when I realized it comes down to becoming a really good leader." Monica's origin story captures a universal struggle: being promoted for technical excellence, then discovering that leading people requires completely different skills. She spent her career at organizations like Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, Ernst & Young, and Google realizing that systems weren't built for everyone—and that the real work of leadership is redesigning those systems to unlock human potential. Today, through her company Flipwork, she helps leaders and teams become what she calls "agentic humans"—people who leverage AI to get ahead rather than getting left behind. The Command and Control Trap "Most leadership development still rewards the command and control archetype. The person who has all the answers, the decisive hero. But AI moves so fast that when you think you've fixed something, it changes the next day. Leaders are starting to become bottlenecks." The research shows the problem clearly: middle management is where AI adoption stalls. These leaders cling to command and control because relinquishing it feels like losing their value. Worse, they have an unspoken fear of managing AI agents—they don't want to be liable for outputs they don't fully control. Monica reframes this: treat your AI tools like an artificial intern, not artificial intelligence. You wouldn't take an intern's first draft and hand it to leadership. You train them, provide context, and finesse the output. The same discipline applies to LLMs. Rewriting the Success Equation "Effort = success is the old equation. That's pre-AI. The new equation is impact equals success. Output equals success, and impact equals worth." This might be the most important shift leaders need to make. When tasks that took 4 hours now take 30 minutes, deeply conditioned beliefs about work ethic get threatened. Monica sees leaders questioning their worth because they're producing faster. "I was always taught I have to work twice as hard to get half as far," she shares. "Now what used to take me 10 hours, I can get done in 4. Am I not worthy anymore of being a high performer?" The answer is to measure impact, not effort—and that requires rewiring beliefs that may be decades old. Why Individual AI Adoption Doesn't Scale "Teams are using AI as individual contributors, but they aren't using AI in their actual workflows and the handoffs. That's why leaders are scratching their heads, like, why aren't we seeing the ROI bubble up into the team?" Here's the gap most organizations miss: individuals save an hour or two per day using AI for personal productivity, but the team never sees compounding benefits. The handoffs between team members remain manual. The friction points persist. Monica's solution is "flip labs"—90-day sprints where teams take one critical workflow, dissect it, and rebuild it with AI. Where can AI handle the $10 tasks so humans can focus on $10,000 decisions? Where should humans remain in the loop? IKEA did this with customer service, retraining displaced workers into design roles. Revenue increased without adding headcount. Leading Through Uncertainty "We're humans wired for certainty, but Agile is a system designed for uncertainty. That's where the behavioral psychology comes in—how do you help people move forward despite the uncertainty?" The fundamental challenge is biological: our brains seek certainty, but the only certain thing now is that change will come faster than we can adapt. Monica works with teams to create psychologically safe spaces for experimentation—AB testing old workflows against AI-augmented ones, measuring outputs, and learning from failures. "Sometimes we learn more from the failures than we do the successes," she notes. The leaders who create permission for testing and learning will pull ahead; those who demand control will become the bottleneck that slows their entire organization. About Monica Marquez Monica Marquez is a leadership and workplace AI advisor with 25+ years in people transformation. She coined the "returnship" at Goldman Sachs, helped found Google's Product Inclusion Council, and now guides leaders and teams to adopt AI, agile, and inclusion practices that drive results through her company Flipwork, Inc.

Most course creators think the path to success is to go wide first — build a big audience, create a big course, launch to the masses. But what if that's actually the slowest way to build momentum? In this episode, I sit down with John Meese from Sell Your Smarts to unpack his “Go Wide, Go Deep, Go Long” framework — and why starting with depth (not scale) is often the smartest move. We talk about how to land your first high-ticket clients without ads or social media, how to craft a 10x promise that cuts through the noise, and why we've officially entered what John calls “The Age of Insight.” If you're building (or rebuilding) your online course business in 2026, this conversation will challenge the way you think about offers, audiences, and growth.

EV Cayman and Boxster Project on the Chopping Block Big news out of Stuttgart: Porsche has pulled the EV Cayman and Boxster from their configurator, and reports are surfacing that Porsche leadership held internal meetings to kill the project entirely. So is this a win or a loss? Our take: probably more win than loss. This was shaping up to be a failure to launch. The enthusiasm for an electric mid-engine Porsche was never really there from the core enthusiast base, and the market has been sending clear signals. Sometimes the best move is knowing when to walk away before you're too far in. The money lost hurts, but a forced launch that lands flat would've hurt the brand more. Magnus Walker Collection Heading to RM Sotheby's — No Reserve Magnus Walker is sending a significant portion of his collection to auction at RM Sotheby's, and the cars are listed with price estimates and—here's the key detail—no reserve. If you've spent any time in the auction world, you know how rare and how meaningful that is. It signals real commitment to sell. The cars we're watching most closely: the Minerva Blue 930 estimated at $175-200k, and the 996 GT2 at $125-150k—nearly 100k miles on it, but it's a GT2, and those don't come around often. Honorable mention to the 996 GT3 at $100-125k. Estimates feel fair across the board, but no reserve means the floor is the floor and the ceiling is whatever the room decides. Expect most of these to go higher, not lower. Fahren — Last Call, Spots Nearly Gone This is your final warning. Fahren spots are almost gone. If you're even remotely considering it, stop thinking and put your deposit in now to lock your spot. You can figure out the rest later. Don't be the person who waited too long and missed it. Head to pcartalk.com. Singer Drops a Wide Body Convertible Singer has built a wide body convertible, and this is a bigger deal than people may realize. Factory wide body drop tops were made in period—just not many of them. Singer's version brings all their engineering refinement along for the ride, including a 4.0L naturally aspirated motor making 420 horsepower. For the person who wanted a wide body convertible and has the means to make it happen, Singer just gave them the answer. The heritage is real, and the execution is Singer. Hard to argue with that. MotorTrend's Top 5 911s One Journalist Has Ever Driven MotorTrend published a list of the top 5 911s one of their journalists has ever driven: the first-gen 930 3.0 pre-intercooler Turbo, the 993, a 996 generation car, the 991.2, and the 992 GT3 RS. Opinion-based, sure, but it's a great conversation starter. The 930 pre-intercooler making the list says a lot—there's something about that raw, unfiltered experience that sticks with people. What do you think of this grouping? Is there a generation missing that deserves a spot? Let us know. Outro That's the show. Thanks for listening.
