This week Justin talks with Emanuele Midolo. Manu is a journalist based in London and writing for The Times and The Sunday Times. His work has appeared in Forbes, Wired UK, and publications across the United Kingdom, France, and Italy. Today he's here to discuss his new book, which he co-authored with Peter Gillman. It was just published last month and is the story of the previously unsolved murder of British journalist David Holden, who was killed just hours after arriving in Cairo to pursue a story in December, 1977. Emanuele and Peter pursued this story relentlessly and found not only several different possible motives and murderers, but also that David had been keeping many secrets of his own. Connect with Emanuele:Twitter/X: @manumidoloBlueSky: @manumidolo.bksy.socialCheck out the book, Murder in Cairo, here.https://timesbookshop.co.uk/murder-in-cairo-9781785907029/Connect with Spycraft 101:Get Justin's latest book, Murder, Intrigue, and Conspiracy: Stories from the Cold War and Beyond, here.spycraft101.comIG: @spycraft101Shop: shop.spycraft101.comPatreon: Spycraft 101Find Justin's first book, Spyshots: Volume One, here.Check out Justin's second book, Covert Arms, here.Download the free eBook, The Clandestine Operative's Sidearm of Choice, here.History by MailWho knew?

In the past two years, artificial intelligence (AI) has rapidly evolved from a burgeoning technology to a transformative force, reshaping industries and everyday life. Enthralled by AI's promises and potential, the tech world and society at large have surged ahead, often without pausing to consider the technology's broader implications. In her book, Code Dependent: Living in the Shadows of AI, Madhumita Murgia talks about the crucial gap in the discourse—the unintended consequences of AI. As AI redefines what it means to be human, it poses profound questions about its impact on individuals, families, societies, and cultures worldwide. A key concern is the concentration of power within a few large tech companies that control extensive data, capital, and infrastructure. The discussion extends to the impact of AI on labor, emphasizing the importance of ethical labor practices and fair wages for data workers, the challenges of biases in AI systems, and the inclusion of diverse voices in AI development to mitigate potential harms and ensure equitable advancements in technology. What are the unintended consequences of AI on global societies and cultures? Will AI deepen existing inequalities or serve as a tool for greater equity? Will it centralize power among a few or democratize access to resources and opportunities? How does the concentration of AI power affect global politics and economics?In this episode of Interpreting India, Madhumita Murgia joins Anirudh Suri to answer these pressing questions and discuss the ever-evolving nature of AI and its implications.Madhumita Murgia is the AI editor of the Financial Times, where she writes on data and emerging technologies. She was previously tech editor at The Daily Telegraph and associate editor of Wired UK. Her latest book, Code Dependent: Living in the Shadows of AI, was shortlisted for the 2024 Women's Prize for Non-Fiction.Anirudh Suri is a nonresident scholar with Carnegie India. His interests lie at the intersection of technology and geopolitics, climate, and strategic affairs. He is currently exploring how India is carving and cementing its role in the global tech ecosystem and the role climate technology can play in addressing the global climate challenge. Suri is the author of The Great Tech Game: Shaping Geopolitics and the Destinies of Nations and has also written extensively on foreign policy, geopolitics, cybersecurity, climate, technology, and entrepreneurship. Additional ReadingsCode Dependent: Living in the Shadows of AI by Madhumita MurgiaThe Great Tech Game: Shaping Geopolitics and the Destinies of Nations by Anirudh Suri Every two weeks, Interpreting India brings you diverse voices from India and around the world to explore the critical questions shaping the nation's future.

In Episode 73, The Occupational Philosophers chat with Professor Sophie Scott, who is the Director of the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience, University College London and a Fellow of the British Academy.    Sophie is an expert in cognitive neuroscience studying human vocal communication, from speech and sound to social interactions and nonverbal emotional expressions, and has become very well known for her work on laughter. As a pioneering researcher in the science of laughter, she's made some unexpected discoveries -- including my favourite, that rats are ticklish, and that the one tactic that's almost guaranteed to get someone to laugh is to show them someone else laughing. She has appeared on UK TV many times, including The One Show (BBC1), Sunday Brunch (C4), Horizon (BBC2) - AND has presented the Royal Institution Christmas Lectures. She also represented the Polytechnic of Central London in University Challenge (BBC2).  In podcasting she co-hosts The Neuromantics (Great pun!), and is a series regular on the wonderful Infinite Monkey Cage. She is an accomplished public speaker, her TED talks have amassed millions of views online, and she has presented at the World Economic Forum, The Royal Institute, and the Wired UK conference. She has performed science-based stand-up comedy and has appeared at the Hammersmith Apollo, the Bloomsbury Theatre and the Latitude Festival. And to top it off, also an author or many books!  In this episode, they explore: How laughter is contagious and social What words are genuinely funny…'Flank' is one…! Why brains are so fascinating these days How laughter is the ‘gateway drug' to play What happens in the brain when we are creative Why organisations need to build social spaces where laughter can live Who is Brian Helverston?

Psychedelics receive a lot of positive press regarding their potential as tools for introspection, therapy, and lifestyle or health improvements. And rightfully so, there is compelling evidence for their benefit in treating some mental health issues and a ton of anecdotal evidence and writings about the positive benefits both mentally and physically from tripping. But just below the surface of positive headlines there is a sea of unknowns. We really don't know how these compounds work physically in the brain and why some people seem to benefit from the experience. This also leads to a huge gray area in terms of the systems of therapy and access different jurisdictions are experimenting with. On this episode we talk with Grace Browne, staff writer at Wired UK, about her reporting on the less illuminated corners of the psychedelic renaissance and why it's important to have these conversations. We talk about everything from the influx of VC money to the dark side of psychedelic cults and the under reporting of negative experiences. Quick disclaimer though. We both believe this research is important and that we should explore psychedelic uses and reconsider the laws surrounding prohibition, but maybe let's acknowledge just a wee bit more that we really don't know much about the good, the bad and the strangeness of psychedelics.

For the Summer of 2023, a dozen futurists talk about what life will be like for humans in 30 to 50 years. Each guest is asked to paint a picture of the changes that we will experience between now and 2053 or 2073. Then they are asked what mistakes we are making today that the people of 2073 will look back at in disbelief. The goal of these episodes is to spark the imagination of listeners about the future we have the ability to create. In this episode, Gerd Leonhard paints a picture life in 2053 with a focus on how humans have the power to create lives enhanced by food, water, and energy abundance. He calls this “The Good Future.” He reminds us that the future is not about what is possible…it is about what we want. Among the topics Gerd discusses are uploading our brains to the internet, quantum computing, nuclear fusion, climate change and the technologies that will be created to manage it, and how movements will drive politicians to make the changes necessary to enable this good future to happen. Gerd finishes the interview with a discussion about what humans are doing today, including our use of fossil fuels, the way work is currently structured, and the importance of nation states, that the people of 2073 will look back at in disbelief. Based in Zurich, Switzerland, Gerd is one of the world's leading futurists and the author of Technology vs Humanity: The Coming Clash Between Man and Machine. With the motto “People, Planet, Purpose, and Prosperity,” Gerd is an outspoken critic of unregulated exponential technologies. He uses his influence and platform to help people “imagine and create a better tomorrow” and was named one of Wired UK's 100 Most Influential Europeans in 2015.

“Redemption! I was grabbing the air, I got so excited I was afraid I might die or something.”   Dr. Katalin Karikó Biochemist who pioneered mRNA, the technology behind the successful COVID-19 vaccines from Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna.    The Artwork: Ink drawing on a map of Philadelphia, PA. The University of Pennsylvania where she did much of her research is located near her chin.    The Story: Doubted and then demoted by academic leaders, denied grants, and derided by her peers, Katalin Kariko's journey from disregarded scholar to world savior was a four-decade struggle. Introduced to the concept of messenger RNA (mRNA) during her undergraduate, she quickly saw the possibilities and pursued a PHD in the field, beginning in 1978. Ultimately, her research served as the basis of the Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna coronavirus vaccines.  In 1985, Karikó left her native Hungary with her husband, two-year-old daughter, and $1,200 sewn into teddy bear (proceeds from selling the family car on the black market). She continued her research at Temple University before moving to the University of Pennsylvania in 1989. All the while, rejected grant applications piled up on Karikó's desk. She said her mRNA research was “too novel” to get funded.   By 1995, her bosses at the university were growing impatient with the lack of funding and offered a humiliating choice: leave or be demoted to adjunct from her prestigious tenure-track position. With the demotion came a substantial pay cut. The same week, she was diagnosed with cancer.  “Usually, at that point, people just say ‘goodbye' and leave because it's so horrible,” she says. But Karikó  wasn't like usual people. Undeterred by the setbacks, she doggedly continued in her research. One year, she recalled realizing in May that she had worked every day that year, including New Year's Day, even sleeping in the office sometimes.  A few years later, a chance meeting with Drew Weissman at a photocopier changed the course of her career. A respected immunologist, Weissman was intrigued with Karikó's research. More important, he had the funding to finance her experiments in his lab. This partnership “gave me optimism and kept me going,” says Karikó. “My salary was lower than the tech who worked next to me, but Drew was supportive and that's what I concentrated on.” In 2005, Karikó finally had a breakthrough. On paper, mRNA was simple, in reality injecting synthetic mRNA often led to disastrous immune responses from subjects. Karikó  and Weissman figured out how to sneak mRNA into cells without triggering the alarm bells. This paved the way for vaccines and other future therapies with mRNA.  Despite this success, the University of Pennsylvania told Karikó in 2013 she was “not of faculty quality.” She left to become Senior Vice President at BioNTech, a nascent German biotech firm. “When I told them I was leaving, they laughed at me and said, ‘BioNTech doesn't even have a website.'”  Her career's research has since served as the basis of the highly effective COVID-19 vaccines developed by Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna.  She screamed, “Redemption!” upon hearing the news the vaccine was effective. “I was grabbing the air, I got so excited I was afraid I might die or something. I never doubted it would work.” She celebrated by eating a bag of chocolate-covered peanuts. “   Background on mRNA: The focus of Karikó's career was mRNA, a single-stranded messenger molecule that delivers instructions from the DNA in the cell's nucleus to the protein-making centers called ribosomes. Without mRNA, DNA would be useless, leading some to call mRNA the “software of life.”  MRNA offers a way for the body to heal itself and its promise will likely be realized in ways far beyond the current COVID-19 vaccine application. With the COVID-19 vaccine, the mRNA tells cells to create harmless spike proteins to prepare the immune system to fight against coronavirus' spikes. Other possibilities include other vaccines, treating cancer, and diseases like cystic fibrosis.   Music: This episode contains music by Geovane Bruno, Coma Media, Hot_Music, Oleksandr Savochka, and 24414830.    Sources: BioNTech scientist Katalin Karikó risked her career to develop mRNA vaccines.

Luke and Jarod start by talking about the ways that companies selling DNA data could impact society and quickly veer off. They discuss how quickly technology has advanced, how it has affected our societies and where things might go from here. Jarod also quotes Shakespeare. Links 23andMe sold the rights to a drug it developed from its genetic database - The Verge How Drug Companies Are Using Your DNA To Make New Medicine - WSJ The myth of Pandora's box - Iseult Gillespie - YouTubeNote from Jarod: In this version of the myth “Hope” is left in the box after all of the evils burst out. I was surprised by this since I had learned it as foreboding. After doing some research it seems like this is the subject of much debate, and it has been since ancient times. Both translations of the story work. In the story where it is “Hope” Pandora lets it out which helps mankind. In the foreboding version she keeps it trapped inside which keeps mankind from experience that, which is considered the worst evil. In this podcast I obviously use the foreboding version and I feel that works best with the analogy I make.

For many of us, winter, with its chilly days and long nights, brings with it a general sense of malaise.

Jeg lytter massevis af podcasts. Jeg tror jeg har abonnement på over 50 af slagsen, selvom det indrømmet ikke er allesammen jeg får lyttet hver gang - og der er sikkert også nogle, der holder pause uden at jeg egentlig har opdaget det… I kraft af mit arbejde har jeg naturligt nok lyttet en masse teknologi-programmer, og da jeg tænker at der sikker er nogle af dem der lytter work.flow som også er interesserede i teknologi, så kommer her mine for tiden techpodcast-favoritter… De tre tips ATP - Accidental Tech Podcast Supernørdetshow især om Apple-ting - med Marco Arment (app-udvikler - tidligere Tumblr og Instapaper), Casey Liss (softwareudvikler), og John Siracusa (softwareudvikler, übernørd, tidligere Mac OS-anmelder for Ars Technica). a16z Andreessen Horowitz smider massevis af penge efter tech-startups, men har også fundet tid til at lave en podcast med skiftende værter og formater. Det handler om emner som cybersikkerhed, tech-lobbyister, modernisering af offentlige it-tjenester og selvfølgelig en masse om startups og it-entreprenører… DTNS - Daily Tech News Show Tom Merritts daglige tech-nyheder med rimeligt faste gæster/medværter. Tom er tidligere kendt fra Buzz Out Loud og TWIT-netværket, og får i øvrigt crowdfundet programmet via Patreon. Bonus-tips MPU - Mac Power Users Katie Floyd og David Sparks dykker ned i Apple-tech, både Mac og iDimser, typisk med et tema som fx email-apps eller backups, eller de har en gæst der fortæller om sine workflows (lyder det bekendt?) Rocket Brianna Wu, Simone de Rochefort, Christina Warren har hvad de kalder accelerated geek conversation om tech, comics, film, spil and bøger, typisk med et fokus på ugens nyheder fra tech-land som udgangspunkt.
