In this episode of ACM ByteCast, Bruke Kifle hosts ACM Fellow Ramón Cáceres, a computer science researcher and software engineer. His areas of focus have included systems and networks, mobile and edge computing, mobility modeling, security, and privacy. Most recently he was at Google, where he built large-scale privacy infrastructure. Previously, Ramón was a researcher at Bell Labs, AT&T Labs, and IBM Research. He also held leadership positions in several startup companies. In addition to being the first ACM Fellow from the Dominican Republic, he is an IEEE Fellow and has served on the board of the CRA Committee on Widening Participation in Computing Research. He holds a PhD in Computer Science from the University of California at Berkeley. Ramón, who took an indirect path to computer science, shares how he started in computer engineering but grew more interested in software, and how his strong background in hardware helped throughout his scientific and engineering career. He identifies some of the most significant challenges facing privacy and security and sheds lights on his work with the Google team that developed Zanzibar, Google's global authorization system supporting services used by billions of people. Ramón looks toward the future of mobile and edge computing in the next 5-10 years and his particular interest in federated machine learning, which brings together AI and mobile and edge computing. In the wide-ranging interview, he also reflects on growing up in the Dominican Republic and later discovering a love for sailing while in Silicon Valley, shares his efforts to bring underrepresented groups into the field of computing, and offers advice for aspiring software engineers.

In this week's episode Dr Jade Scott-Blagrove shares the story - from growing up in a one bedroom flat in Bristol, she is now a radiology trainee with a passion for supporting medical students and doctors from widening participation backgrounds. We hear about the variety of challenges she faced from a young age - from being placed into a secondary school over an hour away from home, the difficulty of finding work experience, four rejections the first time she applied to university and the financial strain of medical school. Jade tells us how she overcame each of these obstacles and what she learnt in the process. In 2020, Jade founded the Widening Participation Medics Network - an organisation supporting future doctors from a variety of underrepresented backgrounds. This is now a national network of 120 volunteers and 600 members. She has since co-founded RadReach with the Royal College of Radiology - to support doctors from widening participation backgrounds applying to radiology specialty training.

The unemployment forecasts are yo-yoing a bit at the moment, but what we do know is that the conservative estimate of 6% of UK adults being unemployed following the Covid-19 pandemic will disproportionately impact those at the start of their career as well as the over 50s, mainly women. Boris Johnson has announced a pledge of life-long learning for all, as well as cash incentives for employers to take on apprentices, trainees and young people through the kickstart scheme. But Further Education and careers education seems to have been the bête noire of the last few governments. Over 50% of adults enrol in vocational or technical education at some point, most employers rely on it to measure their staff's knowledge of specific subjects, and it is a lifeline for many of the people who need bespoke support (eg. the niche skill professions, people with additional needs, the elderly, the unemployed, the imprisoned and on). So why has it been so drastically underfunded for decades, and so scoffed at as the scruffy relation to a university education (which is undertaken by c. 32% of adults)? In this After Corona episode, we've got a few personal reflections from people on a mission to help people find meaningful learning pathways to work, and for that work to be accessible to everyone - not just the well-heeled or well-connected. It is a subject that we're particularly invested in, at always possible, and have spent years trying to navigate as the system is so very messy. Our guests are speaking on behalf of themselves not their organisations, but have a breadth and depth of knowledge on this issue and are speaking from the heart about their own lockdown experiences and what they think is going to happen in the world around them. Contributions have been collected from across the past 10 months. Elizabeth Bailey is Head of Careers and Widening Participation with Medic Mentor - a non-profit organisation trying to open up careers in medicine and veterinary surgery to people who would not normally consider it. Sam Rhodes is the Employability and Skills Project Coordinator for East Sussex County Council, following his time as Head of the Careers Service at the University of Brighton. Debbie Bennett is the manager of the Essex and Suffolk Children's Universities which aim to raise aspiration from a young age in the East of England. And Nick Fenn is the Principal of Aldridge Adult Learning, with two decades in further education in the UK and as an English language teacher in many other countries. We wanted to know what they thought the pandemic had done for their work and what might come next for people looking for work. But first, as ever, we asked them who they are and how they are feeling right now. --- Useful links: https://www.childrensuniversity.co.uk/universities/essex-childrens-university/ https://aldridgeadultlearning.com/ https://careerseastsussex.co.uk/ https://medicmentor.co.uk/ — For more information on how you can get involved with The Possibility Club – an inclusive community of professionals working out what's next, have a look here > www.thepossibilityclub.org You can also receive Finding Chances, a free weekly letter from Richard Freeman, looking behind-the-scenes at business, culture, community and education by signing-up at www.findingchances.substack.com/ We'd love to know what you think of this podcast.

Gilet jaune and novelist Edouard Louis, food expert Fabio Parasecoli, journalist, Gavin Mortimer and the historians Jerry White & Joanna Marchant with Philip Dodd. Whether it’s Berlin, Moscow or the Paris of the gilet jaunes - streets play a vital role in our history and culture. They're focal points of celebration and of protest ; they're gathering places for the young and old; places for a promenade or for fânerie; they're where the homeless build makeshift shelters and where musicians busk: they're also where we refresh our jaded palates; they are by definition, theatrical. Yellow vest and novelist, Edouard Louis is the author of Who Killed My Father, The End of Eddy and History of Violence. Historian Jerry White is the author of London in the 18th Century: A Great and Monstrous Thing Joanna Marchant is head of Widening Participation at King's College, London Fabio Parasecoli is Professor in the Department of Nutrition and Food Studies at New York University.
