Antimatter, 2021. Collaborative work by Skygolpe, Jesse Draxler, and Blessend for the SuperRare Exhibition "Un-realism: bridging the digital and physical realms" Born from an iconic collaboration bound to go down in history, this piece navigates the enigmatic annihilation of matter and antimatter into pure energy, simultaneously challenging and expanding the limits of human perception towards the unseen force of the void. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/enUujF6t

"There's such enthusiasm for patient care, for survivor care, for research and the Warrior Weekend is really the best example of that, of everybody coming together." Brian Altman, PhD, participates in Wilmot Warrior Weekend for many reasons, personal and professional. He is part of a team that received the inaugural Wilmot Warrior Weekend Team Science Award, and he recently shared his thoughts about the event. What are your reasons for becoming a #WilmotWarrior?

Fantastic example of interdisciplinary experiential learning that promotes the value of thinking through making. Also good to note the importance of collaboration remembering our schools where built on the foundation of Arts & Science in the C19th. #experientiallearning #thinkingthroughpractice #holisticeducation #arts #science #creativity #Creativethinking #embodiedcognition

This past Wednesday, our President and Chief Executive Officer took the stage at HLTH USA to open the #GLP1 Summit and provide his perspective on the landscape of #cardiometabolic disease management. Key takeaways: 1️⃣ Despite spending nearly 2X more on healthcare than peer countries, the health status of Americans is deteriorating. From 2020 to 2050, the percentage of U.S. adults with chronic conditions is projected to increase by 12.4 percentage points.  2️⃣ Between 2020 and 2022, prescription volumes for GLP-1 medications increased 300%, and in 2021, national spending on #semaglutide (the peptide name for drugs like #Ozempic and #Wegovy) totaled $10.7B. 3️⃣ The increase in GLP-1 use does not correlate with clinical indication. Just over half of patients taking GLP-1s have a history of type 2 diabetes or have an associated medical visit with their prescription.

Fantastic initiative, and a real pleasure to be part of it. Hearing about the experiences of other centres across the globe makes clear how important but also how incredibly fragile the whole field is: most centres lack robust infrastructure support and investment, making it difficult to run and maintain activities and, especially, to build and secure the next generation(s) of scholars in the area. For example, for any PhD student we would like to support at the Centre for the Study of Philanthropy & Public Good, we need to find and secure a total funding of around £75,000-£120,000. Thereafter, to fund a single postdoctoral position one is looking at a minimum of £50,000 per annum (including National Insurance, pension, in costs, etc.) that need to be raised. Then, in the absence of any permanent positions in the area over here, all that investment, time, support, and the expertise that has been built over that period, currently often do not even benefit the Scottish (and at times European) philanthropy research field as early career colleagues are faced with an infinitesimally small number of national and international opportunities that might arise but, more likely than not, do not, leading to exits and brain drain from the field in general. So, assuming that one considers the field and its contributions to be important, there is some real work to be done about making it more sustainable in general, but also more attractive and accessible for younger researchers... Just some of the many issues that will need to be explored as part of our forthcoming workshop series “Together for Good: crafting Scotland’s philanthropic journey” - https://lnkd.in/e5tXgmZR

The VISION 20/50: an (im)possible festival is such a dream project to be part of, a component of the celebration of 50yrs of Arts Outwest. Using the framework of a hypothetical arts festival in the year 2050, we are asking today's regional artists, who are connected to the Central West, to use their arts practice and their ideas as a mode for imagining and proposing an aspirational future for our world. "It’s the year 2050 and it’s the launch of the Central West’s region-wide new Festival of Arts and Culture – VISION 20/50. But what does the future look like for the NSW Central West? Who are the artists in this festival and what is the work that they are making? How has the world and the region changed and what role does art play in engineering our future?" There's still time for artists who have a connection to the Central West to join a workshop and submit an EOI to take part in this innovative journey! https://lnkd.in/gCNv3XtB Delivered by Arts Outwest and supported by Charles Sturt University, and the Regional Arts Fund.
