Innovation Overground: Innovations in COVID-19, part III (244)

Summary: Join  the Overground as they continue to explore university innovations for  COVID 19. Fresh from the AUTM marketplace, the crew discusses  next-generation artificial intelligence applications to design new  drugs; new approaches to diagnosing viral diseases; and a few of the  implications of the first post-CRISPR pandemic. Also, how hard is it to *get away with* murder these days?   Featured Technologies: Association of University Technology Managers (AUTM) (https://autm.net/about-tech-transfer/covid19/covid-19-licensing-guidelines); A.I.-based drug repurposing  (https://aim.autm.net/public/project/54026/); Rolling Circle DNA replication (https://aim.autm.net/public/project/54030/); CRISPR-based viral diagnostic (https://aim.autm.net/public/project/53872/)  Hosts: Charlie Litton (@charlielitton); Tyler Scherr (@dare2scherr); Joe Runge (@EntreprenurialW)   Sponsor:  UNeMed (https://www.unemed.com); @UNeMed  Music: Countdown to Myocardial Infarction, by Peter Gresser.

Innovation Overground: Phosphorus (233)

These guys banter about science, tech, and innovation in a fun and interesting way. All the hosts have great chemistry together and quite a sense of humor. Worth a listen if you like new inventions or patents in technology.

Makes T2 accessible

Every episode of this podcast is awesome for anyone with any level of curiosity at all, but this episode was one of the two or three best! The crew discusses what makes something able to be patented, and Tyler, the scientist, patiently explains, with concrete examples, the subtleties of what can and cannot be patented.

This podcast is what smart people listen to in order to become smarter!

The “You can’t patent you, obviously” Episode was Awesome!

I've Had Better

 Welcome!  My guest today is Dr. John Gottman, one of the world's leading experts on how to have an amazing relationship.  He and his wife Julie currently operate The Gottman Institute in Seattle, offering numerous resources and training.  Join us for a deep dive into their work!  Dr. Gottman’s findings are largely based on the conclusions he has made over many years of research and observations of couples. He and his team have how to be a master (and avoid being a disaster) at relationship.  Dr. Gottman discusses the following topics:   “The Sound Relationship House” - what is the foundation for a relationship that lasts?  Learn the importance of having high expectations in relationship, and also uncover ways in which what you'd *think* would be good for your relationship is actually counterproductive.  Dr. Gottman identifies Styles of Confronting Conflict:  Volatile, Validating, and Conflict-Avoiding. All of these conflict styles can lead to successful relationships. Learn what to do if you and your partner are mismatched in your conflict style.  Dr. Gottman discusses “bids” we make with our partner as an attempt to connect. Are you a "yes" to your partner's bids? Are they a yes to yours?  “Bids” that fail are often the beginnings of conflict. How do things change if you start paying attention and responding to your partner's bids in a positive way?  Mindfulness is the key to noticing these bids and avoiding conflict.  “Small Things Often” - a reminder to turn toward these bids in the small moments of life.  Dr. Gottman's concept of startup is a way of thinking about what you bring to your interactions with your partner. Do you start in a place that's already positive, and thinking highly of your partner? Or do you start in a place where you are suspecting the worst of your partner?  Build up your emotional bank account with small compliments (deposits).  According to John, there are three phases of any relationship:  Falling in Love (initial), Building Trust (middle), and Cherishing Your Partner (long-term intimacy). What phase are you in? The key to success is using strategies that are appropriate for where you are in your relationship.  The key to more sex is having the freedom to say "no" without being punished for it. If refusing sex can actually have a positive payoff, then it will actually lead to a couple having a more satisfying (and frequent) sex life.  Do you ever wonder how to make a good relationship GREAT? Focus on cherishing your partner.  What if YOU are the only partner who wants to make changes?  Can you make a difference?  Absolutely. Learn how shifts in your approach can have a profound affect on your relationship.  The key to success in a relationship isn't that nothing bad ever happens. It's how well you as a couple learn how to repair after those things occur. John discusses how you can learn to repair, and the positive effects that has on long-term relationships.  Do you know how to decide if you’re in a bad relationship?  When you're with your partner, are you at your best? Or are you veering off towards your worst? Gottman offers this simple guideline for how to know whether to stay or go. Also what to think about BEFORE you decide that you're on the wrong path.
