Optics Valley: The State of Arizona's Optics Industry E36
Optics Valley: The State of Arizona's Optics Industry E36 Arizona is home to a global hub of world-class companies and institutions with decades of innovation and leadership in optics, photonics and astronomy. From medical imaging to remote sensing, semiconductors to astronomy and mobile phones to quantum information science, the applications of optics and photonics technologies [â¦] The post Optics Valley: The State of Arizona's Optics Industry E36 appeared first on Business RadioX ®.
Transformative BioScience Innovations Shaping Southern Arizona E18
Transformative BioScience Innovations Shaping Southern Arizona E18 In this episode of AZTechCast, the official podcast of the Arizona Technology Council, accomplished bioscience leaders from the BIO5 Institute at The University of Arizona, Souvie BioDelivery and Critical Path Institute joined Council president and CEO, Steve Zylstra, to discuss the innovative bioscience innovations shaping Southern Arizona.

Virūpa is Virūpākṣa: Towards an Indo-Tibetan Siddha Corpus
Westin Harris opens the dialogue between Tibetan, Nāth and Yoga studies centred around the figure of Virūpa As the supposed originator of haṭhayoga’s Buddhist “source text,” the legendary siddha called Virūpa has arisen as a key figure of interest in Yoga and Nāth Studies. Nonetheless, such discourses continue to underappreciate the value of Tibetan and Buddhist sources.
In this lecture, I will examine a number of overlooked and understudied Virūpa narratives to demonstrate how Tibetan Virūpa hagiographies and South Asian Virūpākṣa(nāth) stories constitute a single, cross-sectarian narrative tradition stretching from South India to Tibet. While much of the recent scholarship on South Asian siddha narratives has focused on what should or should not be counted as “Nāth literature,” I present the model of an Indo-Tibetan “Siddha corpus” as a more useful alternative that can better accommodate the shared, dialogic nature of such stories.
The Sound of Contagion 2/3
The “Sound of Contagion” explores what a society of contagion can sound like and how technology can illuminate 2020 pandemic and others throughout history. In this episode the three researchers (Haith, Laidlow, Mehnert) present and reflect on sections of the narrative generated by the algorithm and the music inspired by it. You can find the narrative with researcher notes here: https://www.soundofcontagion.com/narrative. The collaboration weaves together world-building, speculative fiction, artificial intelligence, and music to offer strange and thought-provoking answers
#COVID–19: Interdisciplinarity is key
The coronavirus pandemic forced ETH Zurich to suspend almost all its experimental research in mid-March.
Episode 7: One Fish, Two Fish, Environmental Justice
While in grad school, April Richards discovered that she wanted to study both fish and environmental justice. Her advisor wasn't really sure how to direct her.
A year and a half later, she sat in the ORCA Podcast hot seat explaining just how she's combining those interests as a Research Associate for the organization.
Using both qualitative and quantitative research methods, Richards spent an entire summer investigating the habits of local subsistence fishing populations and testing fish parts for the presence of microcystin—a toxin released from toxic algae blooms. This tendril project sprouted from the overarching One Health research program at ORCA (check out Episode 2).
Now, she is continuing her work with these communities as well as the local health care system in Fort Pierce by conducting physician surveys. If you receive health care in Martin, Okechobee, Indian River, and/or St. Lucie County, Florida, you can join our citizen science efforts to collect the same qualitative data that was so insightful to ORCA's original research championed by Richards.
