A Life Indigenous & a Sensei (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What if reclaiming your identity could change the way you see leadership, community, and the world?

Can AI Predict the Storm Before It Forms? With Dr Jonathan Ferrer (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The weather forecast sees the world in 25-kilometre squares. Your entire city fits inside one of them — along with the hill, the valley and the coastline that make your weather completely different from the next suburb. Jonathan Ferrer builds AI that fills in what's inside that square. From a lab in Abu Dhabi, he takes blurry global forecasts and sharpens them to 200 metres: enough to say which streets turn dangerous in a heatwave, or whether a farmer needs to harvest this week.

Desde Róterdam, y a partir de la exposición Hongos: los diseñadores de la anarquía , nos sentamos a conversar con la Dra. Karen Muñoz. Hablamos de la muestra, de hongos benéficos y patógenos, de diseño, de ciencia… e incluso de un poema a las ranas. No te pierdas

Some women don't just lead, they are warriors. Today's guest is one of them. Te Awa Puketapu, is a Māori language champion, social leader, and an extraordinary force for change in Aotearoa New Zealand. Of Ngāi Tuhoe, Ngāti Ruapani, and Te Atiawa descent, Te Awa was raised speaking te reo Māori and was among the very first children ever enrolled in a Kōhanga Reo in 1982. That early immersion didn't just give her a language, it gave her a purpose. From the Office of the Children's Commissioner to
