"Women not just someone that's experiencing advice everyone can take something from that. My guest in this episode is doctor Sabrina Cohen Hatton, who, since joining the fire service when she was 18, has worked her way up its ranks to become one of the most senior serving officers. What prompted her to join, she says, is that it gives you the opportunity to make someone's life better, where the proactively making sure they don't have a fire or being one of the people trusted to know what to do when someone's very worst day. That is something I carry with me every single day when I go to work. She was born in Cardiff and raised in Newport and after the death of her father when she was 15, Cohen Hatton made was made homeless. Her school knew she wasn't living at home, one teacher even crossed the road when they saw her selling the big issue. Yet against the odds she was able to complete her GCSEs. During her homelessness she slept in derelict buildings on the streets in a van and even woke up on one occasion to find someone urinating on her sleeping bag. It took three attempts to get off the street and in 2001 at the age of 18, she joined the fire service in South Wales. While in the service she completed a bachelor's degree in psychology at the open university before completing a PhD in the behavioral neuroscience lab at Cardiff university. A pivotal moment in her life and career was responding to an incident where she knew another firefight had been horrifically injured. She thought it was her husband, also a firefighter, and though it wasn't, that event prompted her interest in reducing human error and making firefighters safer, and she has since become a leading international expert on risk critical decision making in crises. Her list of awards and honors is impressive. In 2016, she was awarded the American psychological association early career award from the society of experimental psychology and cognitive science. In 2018, she received the biotechnology and biological sciences research council innovator of the year award, and in 2021 she received an honorary doctor of science award at royal Holloway university. In the UK, just over 7% of firefighters of women and Cohen had a rare female chief fire officer, has focused her latest book on dismantling what it means to be a female in power. The gender bias, the barriers that hold women back and how to break them, has been described as a rallying call to change the perception of successful women by a woman at the top of her field, Sabrina, it is such a pleasure to welcome you to the Emma gun show. Thank you. It's so good to be here. What? I mean, what an introduction. I mean, I try and make them short and sweet and to the point, but there's so much. Oh, thank you. No, that's really kind. It's been quite a journey. It has been quite a journey. So I'm curious, just based on all of that information alone. There is so much chief. There's the period of homelessness. There's all of the awards that you've achieved. There's the work that you've done. If I say you've got to choose one thing that you can talk about today and don't worry, you get to talk about many of them. But if you wanted to if there's the thing that people ask you about the most, what is it? And I'm curious how that's defined you. It's a really good question. And I think if I was to choose one thing to talk about, it would be about how you don't have to be divined. I honestly, after having the experience that I did of homelessness, I used to feel like that had defined me. I used to feel like I couldn't move beyond that. And I hid it for so long. I felt like I couldn't talk about it because I just wanted to start again. And I thought that if people knew about it, they would see me as I was not as I was then or how they were seeing me at that point in time. And I found that really difficult. And I'd look at people in my industry in the fire service who were leaders and who was successful. And they would be these amazing, incredible people who were so tough and they always knew what to do and they always knew what to say and they were never afraid of anything. And having that experience, it made me feel like I couldn't possibly be in the same league as them ever, because this thing had happened that made me feel really vulnerable. But the reality was that every single one of those had failures and had mistakes and had things that made them feel vulnerable, but they only showed their show real because that was all that was expected. But actually, if you own your vulnerabilities and your failures with as much conviction as you own your successes, then the people that come up behind you don't have such a tough journey. And that's why I started to talk about my experience of homelessness because it affects so many people and I wanted them to know that those circumstances, what they've been through doesn't define where they end up, just the place where they start from. So I think if I had to pick one thing, it would be that you don't have to be defined. I love that you said that. And when I was researching this episode and I was reading about you, I read something that you had said, and I wrote it down, I scribbled it so hard into my notepad. Because it's something that I have been looking for the words to try and explain for such a long time. And it's about definition about how we define ourselves. And I find it really frustrating that we seem to be in a culture at the moment where we have started to define ourselves by the worst things that have happened to us. And that then becomes one's identity. And actually, I think you said, I think what you said was, it's an experience. So you don't have to be defined by it. It's just an experience that you had and that you learned from. And now I feel like instead of raging, I now have the vocabulary to be able to say, yeah, really terrible. That really terrible thing did happen, but it doesn't mean that you have to enter every single day as the person that that happened to. Yeah. You are allowed to grow. Yeah. I think that's beautiful, isn't it? Because when we have those things that happen to us, they are hard. And they do affect our the lens that we see the world through. So for example, when I was experiencing homelessness, I would
Fat Mascara

"Hello, hello. Welcome to fat mascara. I'm Jess. I'm Jen. And I'm tired. So we're not caffeinated today. Okay, your dog is in the back with ears just perked up because I think you stay tired. So he's like, we're going to bed. We're going to cuddle. I think he perked up because he knows that you and I were just about to rage. I wouldn't say it's rage, rant and rage. You know what I would say? You know when we started this podcast and we were like, this is great. We'll be on a weekly news cycle so we can really have both in depth conversations and yet keep it more timely than we were when we were at monthly magazines. And the past four weeks, the news cycle and beauty is not even weekly, it's 75 minutes. Daily. It's freaking hourly. It's like an everything's a controversy and everything's got a new name and a trend driven article that somebody threw together in 30 minutes. And all of it is things that I want to weigh in on, but I want to think first and the one that's coming to mind and the reason I'm getting like, this is I even started here, was ever since the Michaela nogueira mascara scandal, it's just been this rolling down the hill of one after the other things happening, moving right into the D influencing. Oh my God. Moment that we're in. So for those of you who like don't read these trend articles that I do, de influencing being the idea of somebody on your social media who considers themselves an influencer instead of trying to get you to buy a product. Consider themselves just like the fundamental part of this considers themselves. Right. Well, they give it a name. De influencing. And the funniest part to me is the videos, it's a de influence, and they say, you don't need to buy this, or they nag a product that like, I'm going to de influence you from buying this, whatever it's the name. It's the same thing you do when you speak negatively about a product. But it's so funny, half the videos that I've seen about this, they start with, I'm going to jump on this de influencing train. I had to jump on. No, you didn't. No, you didn't have to jump on. Nobody asked you. Maybe somebody in your comments was like, what do you think of D influencing and they were like, I'll do influence you. What's your take on this whole thing, Jess? So I feel like it's, first of all, it's corny as hell. Second of all, it's so unnecessary. It's like, hey, nobody asked you. Then it's like, if you have nothing nice to say, don't say it at all. We have like almost 500 episodes of the show. Very rarely have we ever said, you know what products sucks? If we don't bring it up, we've not thought about it. We forgot to mention it. Or we don't like it. But like, how nasty would it be if I was like, you know who really made the worst mascara? It's just bad form. I just feel like that kind of unless something is actively harming you or there was like a product recall, everybody's gonna like something just 'cause I don't like this mascara doesn't mean you want. I think beauty is so individual, it also surprises me that people think that they can influence skin care purchases when I would take I would go with you to like blue mercury or Ulta Beauty and based on your skin. I would pull together what I think would be a completely different regimen than mine. Right. It makes no sense to me like the whole idea, right? It's not for you. Which I know sounds silly. I know of some of you out there like, wait, your whole job is to edit the beauty world for us, but like, I don't think of my job like that. And if people that do, that's like my uncle Thanksgiving, he's like, how's the lipstick blog? Like that thinks that literally what I do is tell people, here's a great red lipstick to buy. There are some superior formulas. There are beta second hold on. Hold on. There are some there are some best of the best, but of course, of course. But I just feel like who are you to come on from down high and be like, this is terrible. Like, what kind of public service are you doing? The other thing is, I think it makes people feel good to be a CNS somebody with very long list of I mean, we learned this from fashion magazines, like a list of don'ts or like the outlets, this album sucks or I hate this. It makes me seem discerning. I'm not saying you can't have taste. I'm a Virgo. I have like a list of don'ts. We'll be here all night. So I've got them, but to be really public about them makes you seem like very discerning and cool. They go a little like a little high out of it, a little kick out of being just you've literally almost exactly reiterated some research I read on this. By the way, there are people studying this. There's three professors of marketing at Cardiff university who just did an analysis of influencers because people have been asking them about this thing, you know, they say it's the end of D influencing, no, they say it's exactly the opposite. What you just described is what they're doing is using it as an opportunity to reassert their guru roll and regain the trust through transparency and authenticity because when influencers first came about on YouTube, remember they would always be negging products and it was like the magazines wouldn't do it so the YouTuber will. Then as money flowed into that world, you stopped hearing negative things. They got a brand deal. They're only talking about their own products. You all saw it happen. What's happening right now is influencers trying to regain credibility and when you, there's like psychology research behind this, when you say that something else isn't good, it makes people trust the things that you say are good, better. Think about the mean girl high school. That kind of gene isn't cool. And then she says, what gene is cool? Now you believe her more that that gene is cool. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, it's like there's plenty of marketing and psychology research behind this. And I just, I don't know if that's what influencers are trying to do specifically with this whole D influencing trend, but I think there's a little of it to that. I think they're not dummies. People like to weirdly be told like what, tell me what not to do. And maybe it's because people are so afraid of getting things wrong.

"I'm excited to share today's episode with you. I have actually another one of the leaders from Simba chain and today is phenomenal interview with Ian Taylor, Ian is a CTO and cofounder at Simba chain. So he's basically the technical lead, if you will, and currently Ian is also a full research professor at the university of Notre-Dame on leave at the school of computer science engineering and computational scientist at the computing research center. Also previously Ian was a full professor at Cardiff university in the UK. He has managed more than 15 research projects at Cardiff university and Ian's research over the last 25 years has covered a broad range of distributed computing areas, and now he specializes in blockchain, machine learning, open data access, cloud computing, and all kinds of awesome things that we're going to cover today. And Ian is also one the naval research lab, the best research paper prize of several years, three different years. And he's been part of a 20 year long collaboration with a naval research lab. He has over 11,000 citations, you know, for all of you PhDs and academics is H index is 47. Do me a favor and welcome to the show Ian to the podcast and man it's a pleasure to have you on the show. Thank you to be here. Thanks. Thanks for the welcome. Absolutely. Hey, before we dive into some more technical questions about Simba and Simba chain, can you share with our listeners just a little bit about yourself? Yeah, absolutely. So I was born in Wales in the UK, went to Cardiff university to do a degree in computer science, and then I did a PhD in physics and music and computer science. And I got kind of grabbed by the gravitational wave group in Cardiff to focus on data acquisition system for that. The geo 600 gravitational wave detector, I don't know, some of you might recall some years ago they won a Nobel Prize for detecting gravitational waves, so that's pretty cool. And then after that, I became a professor in Cardiff teach and distributed systems, and then I also around 99, I came to the U.S., so I was here in the U.S. about half of my time. And I worked for the renewable research lab. As you mentioned earlier, where were those for about 15, 18 years, something like that? And then in 2016, I joined university of Notre-Dame. And actually, as soon as I joined there, a local company, a guy called Joe neide, who's the cofounder of samba. He contacted university. CRC research center and asked any of the professors were interested in doing a grant with darpa on blockchain. So I Larry the accuracy as he offered it to me. I said, sure, yeah, take it. So I wrote this proposal. I was actually in Europe that summer and I was in 6 different countries. And I wrote a section of the proposal in each country, so it was decentralized from the outset. And while I was working, when I was kind of understanding blockchain and reading about it, and I loved the concept from the outset, my background's in distributed computing. So things like asymmetric crypto systems, hash codes, and all of the great stuff that happened in the PTP era like things like free net, which you saw all of those things widely and innovatively. Blockchain again, captured those tools and use them for to secure data and produce non reputable storage and so forth.

"We, as black folks, are no strangers to being exploited. For centuries, our innovations, our art, and our very bodies have been commodified. And squeeze dry of anything that can be spun into capital. And it ain't slowed down. It's only been digitized. And it seems that anything goes in the age of the Internet and social media. I'm Jay from push black and you're listening to black history year. Whether we realize it or not, brands are fixtures in our Internet lives. Every time we hop on, Facebook or Twitter, Instagram, or any other social platform, we're running into brands who use insidious tactics to get into our pockets. They'll do things like create a CGI influencer who can perform blackness. Those still are online creativity. And they'll align themselves as black allies when they just want black dollars. It's digital anti blackness, and it's something we got to talk about. As we live more and more of our lives on the Internet. To go in depth about this, we're talking with doctor Francesca so bandai. Francesca is a senior lecturer in digital media studies at the school of journalism, media, and culture, at Cardiff university. She's a researcher and a writer. She's got several books, including the digital lives of black women in Britain. And she's published work about woke washing. Digital re presentations of black people and how brands misuse exploit and commercialize notions like black social justice activism. You can catch her talking about digital to remix culture, race, gender, celebrity, and black diasporic media. We're going to get into all that a little later. Francesca took time to sit with us all the way from across the pond in the UK, but the time difference could not stop an incredible conversation from happening. So stay tuned..

A new study from Cardiff university has suggested that the pandemic and the ways of working in the way we're changing could mean more women getting into local politics, the ability to dial in to meetings on video call maybe the key to unlocking some of those final barriers that more often women face with caring duties. Lea hibbs is a lecturer in social sciences at Cardiff university and author of the study. And in a moment I'll talk to Jen Berg Davies who's a local counselor in Cardiff. Leah, I'll start with you. Good morning. Good morning. How are you? Tell us what you found. You know, coming into a woman's I suppose on a video call as well. Yes, it's great, yes. I'm kind of pulling in from at home this morning, so I'm very apt example of this hybridity in these new ways of working. So this was actually just a very small part of my kind of wider PhD thesis, which looks more widely at the experiences of women, local councillors and Wales. So it was a piece of work where I went directly spoke to 19 counselors, unfortunately, the pandemic hit right in the middle of my data collections. So I had to quickly shift everything online. But that was really interesting because I had a lot of counselors before the pandemic speaking to me about, you know, we haven't engaged as much as we should be with these kind of technological solutions..

"It's masks off today in England as the COVID rules change again, secondary school students no longer wearing them in classrooms or communal areas, face coverings, not legally required in any other setting, although a lot of establishments will still encourage and request them. Studies have found that men are more reluctant than women to wear them. One survey done towards the beginning of the pandemic said women were almost twice as likely as men to say they intended to wear a mask outside of their home when the rules were not mandatory to wear them. Well, that's back where we are. Is that your experience? Is that what you've seen? However, anecdote or whatever you want to say about it, I want to hear.

So amen and hallelujah, as they say. All right, interesting story from the daily mail. And I'm curious to get your thoughts on this. Wearing a face mask makes you more attractive to the opposite sex. This is according to a new study. The study found wearing a face mask makes you appear more attractive Cardiff university. They did a study asked 43 women to rank men's faces with different items covering their face. The study found that men with blue medical face masks were the most attractive. No, I told you. This is what it says here. Cardiff university says that the masks make both both men and women more appealing to the eye. Is that true? They the pictures were shown with two different kinds of face masks. With a book partially covering the faces and with nothing covering the faces at all. Both a blue medical mask and a plain cloth mask were used in the study. Participants said those faces wearing surgical masks were the most attractive. Now grace, I want to ask you, you're a woman. I want to ask you a question here. Would you find what would you find more attractive, a guy wearing a face burka or a man who was walking down the street with a nude face on? Well, when you put it like that, no. I mean, definitely the person without the face mask. But it is a little funny because it's talking about this earlier with you. It's like, you've got the face mask on, and it's like you're sitting there trying to imagine what they look like underneath. It's almost like a masquerade ball and you're just like, maybe they're really good-looking. Maybe they're like really good-looking. And then they take it off and you're like, it's kind of like when you get the chocolates with the cream filling and there's always there's one or two, they're like, oh, that looks delicious. And when you bite into it, you're like. Yep, the raspberry. You can't stay in raspberry. I don't like raspberry filling with chocolate. For me grace, you know what it tells me, that guy's a Democrat.

Or if I see him walking their dog with a face mask on, I'm like, nope, you're dumb. All right, I'm curious, ladies. They're indoors.

Well of course we've not spoken on this program for probably a couple of weeks now and a wall wall we have you. I'm intrigued. pick your brain. We're into flu season. I faithfully went and got my job already Schools are back with gusto and again. I'm sure other parents listening around. The uk will no instances if cove it's still a on the on the increase. Do you have a sense yet. For what the onset of regular flu season looks like against the backdrop of the pandemic. Are you expecting to see the kinds of peaks. Perhaps not with the same consequence but in some case numbers that we saw as we entered the winter. Last time around this week i spoke with professor nichols who actually set up the code center at cardiff university and about three decades spent time becoming one of the foremost authorities on the common code. And what he told me is that we're seeing an epidemic of common colds across the uk. Now now the flu will join the phalanxes of common colds and other respiratory infections that scientists this winter in fact in algebra tree this week we've already detected at least one case of flu. We think that's probably an imported case. Because that's how most flu cases come into the country. But what the data. On the coleman coda telling us is that the eighteen months we've had sitting on furlough city now living rooms sitting on zoom and hopefully tuning into multiple of course is that we have lost our immunity out baseline immunity to many of the common threats that silas including the flu. And this is basically laying the ground for a big surge this season. And that's why we're already seeing a scores going back. A big increase in rhinovirus is probably a big surge in flu to come which is why the government are eager that as many as possible do get a flu job but there might be a silver lining to this cloud because there was a hint of this last year that when people catch one virus it puts the body into an antiviral state by putting all the defenses up in all of your cells and it makes it harder for you to catch other infections while. You're infected with colds. So one speculation is that this big surgeon reina viruses and rsvp which is also doing the rounds and possible safely will render us a bit less susceptible to cove it and so as a result that may be why we've seen the covert case numbers stalling abyss of the scores have gone back because we had such a big surge in seasonal colds that it's it's chopped off covert at the knees stopped his spreading quite so well. It's the speculation. But it's a reasonable one and just to pick up on that point about the flea season Despite the fact that the vaccination task force in portugal is now being dismantled. because we've The government has had the General impact government has reached the his goal and With getting Over eighty percent of the population. Double jogged the vaccination centers that have been set up the pop vaccination centres That he created are going to be going to remain in place until the end of the year and daba la pass flu vaccination points and covert vaccination points. So i i think this trend about you know also encouraging people to get the flu job if needed which in portugal hasn't really been a think Unless you're above the age of seventy there's really not a lot of advertising for it. I think now is changing. And the fact that vaccination centers remaining open is a good thing. Definitely a good thing. I don't know why you just shoot me when you said the seventy kilometer.

We've really been able to get a picture of that kind of individual experience and how they've been preceding and one of the things that actually brought up very early on As soon as we started emerging from that first lockdown is they're feeling that if they coughed if they showed any signs of a cold that it was perceived as a threat by other people so something that before might just be natural to us. You know to to cough to clear our throat. is actually something that is now threatening And there was a lot of you of kind of the others and me to you know so like this is a this. Is you know those people coughing and doing something very scary and this kind of separateness came up a lot on. The coughing was now a threat which is very different. I think a perception something we've heard over and over again from them over the past year and a half and was surprised to i think did initially it kind of made me sad the beginning because this is something that is natural that is now perceived as threatening and as a result of the global pandemic. I wouldn't say it's naturally necessarily surprising in that people's behaviors and the perception of those behaviors. Change a great deal based on context and based on the situations we find ourselves and with a novel pandemic. we're learning a whole new set of ways of interacting learning a whole new set of social norms And the perception of something that assembles.

There are all kinds of other debates mean as in wales we now have for the next three or four years. Massive numbers of eighteen year olds coming through wants to go to university and would do build new universities.

I mean having a an even sort of viable still assembly is by the main priority on the time. is education an issue. Which is that live issue. And ultimately education's always alive issue. But i think with with allowed you have to see northern ireland an isolated from the rest of the uk. I mean. I don't know how long you've got by. I could give you a whole history lesson to hide. The education system has become over bloodless. All these looking after defense sections waste still are in a position where we have catholic schools pro skills pretty much run separately and it's costing double double the violence The red an independent review of education due to start on the board of it is just being doubled up that is basically gone through the whole education system. That around has had to deal with since the information in nineteen twenty. One ad haven't really changed an awful lot and hundred years The there needs to be something done to finance. The amount of money being spent on education around was astronomical because we wanted to three tiers of system ryan and side by side. I think the majority of people live here won't the demands on education. The problem comes when it comes to election. Time simmons everything else and northern ireland people tend to vote along traditional reliance on all issues trying to get back to be forward to get that to be an end to the minds of people as it's difficult difficult to get them to vote on education lines.

We are committed to covering the people's agenda. Note the media's agenda. We are proud to be british. The clue is in the name militia former bbc broadcaster and gb news a star presenter. He also happens to live a lot of the time in the south of france. The channel has promised to take on so-called cancel culture. One late night show even as a segment called on cancelled the plans to speak with those who say they've been silenced on launch night presenter wooden opened his show with a rant about british football players taking the need there is nothing racist about opposition to taking the knee. It is a political gesture connected to the black lives matter organization which we do just have to remember supports the overthrow of capitalism and the defunding of how police the channel claims. It doesn't have any obvious political leaning onto uk regulations. Broadcasters are supposed to be impartial off com. Tv regulator has already received hundreds of complaints about gb news.

It's probably being a really good thing because it's given them an opportunity to kick back against the advertisers and say look at these this cozy consensus that sitting here where we are the disruptors and in terms of the actual money that it would be making out of it well. I suspect they wouldn't have been receiving that much income from these birds anyway. Brushwood captured most attention in the first week of broadcast. Were the ads. But the on air blunders.

I was actually really surprised by both. How dull the foam was and how by the technical quality rose did look horribly like what we've all been looking at it than eighteen months. You looked as you're watching people on zoom most of the time before the channel launched many said. Gb news will be like a fox. News for britain phillips says that comparison is unfair to fox.

Bought matt walsh. Who used to run a twenty four hour. News channel says these glitches are to be expected with any new station. The question is whether gb news can hold onto its viewers watch believes that the channel has its eye on the online market and that is really his to build up a paying subscriber base. In fact walsh says making a profit might not be the investors initial intention. Some of the backers were quite prominent in the brexit debate. What is it that they want to get out of. This is it.

"Are waving the Welsh flag emblazoned with the Red Dragon. It's cars drive past honking their support. John McAllister helped organize the event. How did you do today? I I think the response was extraordinary. The local population of Barry Is proven that is overwhelmingly positive in terms of Welsh independence. How did you get interested in independence? I've been a believer Marsh independence for A good few years now, just because I think whales has been given the wrong end of the stick. And I don't think we are fairly treated in terms off. You know, I think this is a common complaint in Wales lush landscape of mountains, beaches and medieval castles. Well, it's about the size of Massachusetts, where the politics are liberal and cheap, outnumber people by nearly 3 to 1. Real political power lies in London with the British Parliament, which is dominated by Prime Minister Boris Johnson's Conservative Party and England makes up more than 80% of the UK population. McAllister was 22, which the cafe sites of famous example here back in the 19 fifties members of the British Parliament, or M pieces. They're called voted to flood a Welsh village to supply water to the English city of Liverpool. Welsh MPs overwhelmingly rejected it. It was I cry across the entire country and still because whales is voted in Parliament. It makes no difference. When McAllister use the word country. He's talking about whales, one of the four nations that make up the United Kingdom Each nation has its own distinctive culture and identity, as well as regional governments, which oversee education, housing and the environment. In recent years. Support for independence has been rising. A pole in February found 35% here would vote to leave the United Kingdom, which In historic terms is, you know is remarkable. This is Richard Wynn Jones professor at Cardiff University. He studied Welsh politics for more than two decades. I'm really genuinely surprised by this. Jones has several factors of driving support for Welsh independence. 2014 independence referendum in Scotland, which failed inspired people here to think about self rule. Two years later, when Britain voted to leave the European Union, many here who voted to remain felt alienated the kind of pro European side responded to the Brexit vote by going actually. Where is the UK going? Do we really want to be part of the states? That, in their view, was cutting itself away from its neighbors. Then last year, the pandemic hit Boris Johnson's government bungled the early response, while people here gave Welsh officials higher marks. Jones says. In conversations here, even in business and establishment circles, there's a sense of fatalism. The premise of the conversation is usually well. We all know that Scotland's going on. There's a sense that Somehow, Northern Island. Joining the republic is also inevitable at some point and on that leads people very often saying Well, if that is the future than whales, almost by default has to become independent. I think the independence movement is getting more organized. A lot of it is just noise. It's slogans and sound bites. Rachel Banner opposes independence in English teacher who lives in Barry's. She thinks whales can't afford to go it alone after all. It has only 3.2 million people, runs a big fiscal deficit and is the poorest nation in the UK. We've had £5.2 billion extra in additional covert assistance. If you look at the tax base in Wales, there is no way we would have been able to do that. If we were independent independence Advocates point out there are seven EU countries with smaller populations. Argue that if whales had complete control to raise its own taxes and borrow, it could build a more competitive economy. The British government has responded to rising support for independence by calling the United Kingdom the most successful political union in the world. Says the country's strongest when it's nations work together, a break up of the UK would alarm the American government because it would distract and weekend a key ally, the U. S relies on for military, diplomatic and intelligence support. Any independence referendum here in Wales seems at best a long way off. But even fierce opponents such as Rachel Banner worry. I'm not going to pretend that there is a risk. I hope that we stay together. I think be disastrous if we split up, and I think it would be really bad. The western world.

So we moving from a relationship with technology where we are asking it to do something, you know it's a pure sort of input output.

CVS And so what They figured out is if they put rice in white text anywhere on the TV Cambridge, Harvard, Oxford, they're more likely to get through to the interview process. The students know that recruiting algorithms prioritized applications from certain schools, so they pepper their applications with words. They know the algorithm will like.

"Simple question. Why do we need a program? Accelerate and how pioneering is it Shawn? Okay thanks Keith Unwelcome everybody accelerate to think is Is Important to the the Welsh economy. The WHO he thought of it was kind of speed up the development of innovation within the life science sector but also the sport Deanna Jess and charitable organizations. That they're trying to do things to better health care and to improve wellbeing and in the principality so I think accelerate in that sense is really essential to the future. Wales okay. So let's imagine you'd Entrepreneur I with innovation that you think could benefit the health service and ultimately patients and you're very excited about it but Bit Slack about where to go next for example with get access to clinicians patients. If I wanted to test that perhaps perhaps you can tell us about the options there. Yeah so for Cardiff University. We've got that link between Cardiff unveil health boards answer the clinical innovation partnership where we often hold an MD tea. Which is a multidisciplinary team meeting every Monday? Where people can come along and present such projects so in front of this project board. We've seen people such as clinicians porters nurses academics medical students come present their ideas to us. We've had a number of industries. Come in as well with some project ideas who are required that link our understanding that clinicians and academics can support and provide through this forum. So that's the important part for for us within Cardiff University. As well as that's wash economic development is linked to patients clinicians and academia to see that health economic benefit as well as patient benefit strikes. Me As being really interesting areas. It's not just about established businesses. But you're taking soundings ideas and suggestions frahm individuals students clinicians and even patient troops in some cases. That's the your Europe she based in Swansea in your research. Experience includes things like in vitro bench test in what way through to support clinical investigation the medical devices launching products evaluation etc. I mean how how in your experience how difficult is product onto the market and how can accelerate or htc help in that respect. Y- apparently being based with an SME who went from basic patent on a piece of paper through to launch products. It's not easy. It is difficult. Lots of different challenges for me I think is about having the right expertise around you and expertise early on so that informs all our D. That you do away thought. H D C can help have technology centre and Swansea. University is that we have a team of sixteen people. They're all multi skilled. They've got Fast Array of expertise talk that we also can tap into the the academic staff within the school of Medicine as well on the wider university. So we've got a lot of expertise that to try and help them get. Get people that knowledge on those people around them to help them early on. I think one of the more challenging things is the regulatory pathway. Potentially making sure you've got the right people around you to support you show. Attic is particularly interested in assistive technologies. That's right isn't it? Yeah I mean that's the that's kind of the core of The the attic offering but to be honest We we're finding it working across a wide spectrum of Different sectors so A NASCAR exciting. I mean it could be you know digital products and services through to physical products and so it's I think is important to kind of understand. The science sector is is quite broad. Which means that you know Attic and got involved in You know in terms use a testing and analysis of sort of medical products or things which are a little bit more cutting edge like the Internet of things type sensors that people can then use to monitor elderly people in home for example so so it is quite broad in that sense but also I think Moscow exciting is starting to recognize that there are companies out there. On the periphery of the license actor. That may be astonished to consider moving into it So we can also help them as well with product development and an Kenneth Challenges that they might have in terms of innovation process. And you know it's so it's It's it's beyond just what we can initially considered to be the life science sectors much broader opportunity in an ns be clear.
