Physicist, Peter Higgs, renowned for his groundbreaking discovery of the Higgs boson, was not only a brilliant mind but also a person who deeply valued the contributions of others. In this podcast episode by This American Life, you can hear Higgs’ humility and recognition of the collective effort behind the monumental discovery – including from #OurImperial Physicist, Prof Tom Kibble. A lovely reminder that it takes many minds to contribute to scientific progress. Check out the full podcast here ?? https://ow.ly/ZmIG50T25JI

Just posted a new episode of my podcast. After four episodes dealing with medieval adultery in literature, history, and movies, this episode returns to the subject of crusading warfare. On 3-4 July 1187 the Sultan of Egypt and Syria Saladin enjoyed the greatest military victory of his career. The Battle of Hattin, a two-day battle fought along the road leading to the town of Tiberias and, on the following day, on the Horns of Hattin, an iron-age hillfort above that road, is one of the few decisive battles of the Middle Ages. (In this episode, Richard explains why there were so few battles.) The battle pitted a Muslim force of about 30,000, comprised largely of Turkish cavalry, against the largest military force ever raised by the Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem, an army of about 1,200 cavalry and 18,000 foot soldiers. The outcome of the battle was the capture of King Guy and the virtual annihilation of the field army of the Kingdom of Jerusalem. In the months following the battle, Saladin systematically took all the major coastal cities of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, except for Tyre, and then turned inland to take Jerusalem. King Guy of Lusignan's ultimately disastrous decision to leave the safety of its camp at the springs of Sepphoris (Saffurya) and march 30 kilometers across waterless farmland in the July heat to relieve Saladin's siege of Tiberias remains controversial. In this episode, Professor Nicholas Morton, author of Crusader States and Their Neighbours: A Military History, 1099-1187 and veteran of this podcast, explains Guy's military thinking by placing the Battle of Hattin in the larger context of warfare as practiced by the rulers of the Crusader States of the Middle East. In doing so, Nick persuasively argues against a reigning academic and popular consensus that regards Guy's decision as defying military logic.

Important podcast on an important new book.

This is a #mustwatch episode of Nate Hagens' 'The Great Simplification' series Vanessa Andreotti is author of the book "Hospicing Modernity" that some here may be familiar with Vanessa brings such richness, wisdom, warmth and humanity. I have listened once, but I know I'll be returning to this again, such was the depth of the conversation. Please do watch/listen and share "In this episode, Nate is joined by educator and Latinx researcher Vanessa Andreotti to discuss what she calls “hospicing modernity” in order to move beyond the world we’ve come to know and the failed promises that “modernity” has made to our current culture. Whether you refer to it as the metacrisis, the polycrisis, or - in Nate’s terms - the human predicament, Vanessa brings a unique framing rooted in indigenous knowledge and relationality to aid in understanding, grieving, and building emotional resilience within this space. What does it mean to live and work within systems that are designed to fail, embedded in an aimless culture? How do we as individuals steady ourselves and create inner strength before engaging with such harrowing work? Importantly, what could education look like if founded in the principles of intergenerational knowledge transmission and emotional regulation, that are centered on our collective entanglement with the Earth?" https://lnkd.in/eYPPpXd4

Over the past couple of weeks, I've been on a dozen podcasts. What is fun is that each is very different—different topics, different questions, different conversations. Today's podcast was with Rajiv Menon, a brilliant innovator and technology leader. We've collaborated on his Start-Up Weekends, Orlando Innovation League, and Orlando Magic Innovation Challenge. He knows innovation. This conversation was a deep dive into innovation and technology (specifically AI). I think you will find some brilliant nuggets in our discussion. https://lnkd.in/dWWaBgC6 #innovation #AI #podcasts #Pivotal
