We're talking separation now, Alberta? Really?!
For a whole lot of Canadians outside the prairie province—and a good number of Albertans, too—the province's recent flirtation with an independence referendum seems ... unhelpful, to put it mildly. At a moment Canadian unity has never been more important, Alberta's premier seems to be undermining that effort. Is this a cheap political ploy? A well reasoned approach to real provincial greivances? Or something else?Jordan and Laura discuss how the rest of Canada is feeling about Alberta these days, then Jordan interviews Senator Paula Simons to get to the bottom of what's really happening in the...

The future of pediatric pain
Laura Simons is a clinical psychologist and an authority on pain, particularly chronic pain in childhood, which is much more common than widely understood. Most people don't even think chronic pain happens in children, says Simons.

Better treatment begins with a better understanding of the science of pain, as Simons tells host Russ Altman on this episode of Stanford Engineering’s The Future of Everything podcast.Episode Reference Links:Laura Simons | Stanford MedicineInternational Association for the Study of Pa...

Simon Sack über die Potenziale und Grenzen von KI in der Hospitality Branche
In Deutschland beschäftigen sich weniger als 10 Prozent der Unternehmen mit Künstlicher Intelligenz, so Techhead Simon Sack. Für den gemeinsamen Weg in Richtung Industrie 4.0 sind also noch viele Wegbegleiter zu begeistern. Auch aus der Hospitality Branche. Denn gerade die Guest Journey eines gastgewerblichen Unternehmens bietet in Simons Augen enorme Potenziale für den Einsatz von KI. Ob auch die Back of House-Bereiche eines Hotels schon bald wie ein autonom fahrendes Fahrzeug funktionieren, ob KI in Zukunft auch eine ethisch-moralische Ebene zu besetzen vermag und wie Künstliche Intelligenz und Nachhaltigkeit zusammenpassen?
