As part of our national campaign "Support Is Care," people living with cancer, survivors, current and former caregivers, and cancer care providers are sharing their perspective on the need for equitable access to Supportive Cancer Care in every zip code. Jeanelle – an amazing young woman from New Jersey who survived Stage III breast cancer – is one of them. She shares all that her husband carried as her primary caregiver during her cancer journey, and how for so many people, “There’s no caregiving for the caregiver.” This is why Supportive Cancer Care is also essential for the family and friends who help care for a loved one. I am so grateful to the people around the country who are sharing their stories through Support Is Care.

"People don't buy what we do, they buy why we do it" For those who know me well, you'll know I love Simon Sinek's The Optimism Company. Not only for his dulcet tones and charming curiosity on his "A Bit of Optimism" podcast. Also, for his understanding of people's innate desire to belong and connect. Since joining Breakthrough T1D in July, I've seen firsthand how our community shows up for our mission, and how they are deeply connected to our vision for a world without type 1 diabetes (T1D). I've seen family members mobilise, workplace groups muster and neighbourhood teams rally to bring a collective energy and commitment to what we do: fundraise to accelerate research into finding a cure and improving treatments for those living with T1D, like my son Ben. To you, I say thank you for buying into why we do it. And Simon, if you'd like to see how this translates for us on the ground, join us for One Ride. 20-22 November in the beautiful Barossa Valley. We're riding together for something that matters. https://lnkd.in/gU2f7nGx

🎥 Die Substanz ist schon da – ein Schatz an Gebäuden, mit einem Reichtum an Wissen und Ressourcen, den wir in die Zukunft tragen können. Das sagt Kerstin Müller im Video-Interview zu unserem neuen Qualifizierungsprogramm Zirkuläres Bauen – und bringt damit auf den Punkt, was Bestandserhalt für sie bedeutet: nicht Verzicht, sondern Chance. Müller, Architektin BSA, Geschäftsführerin der Zirkular GmbH und Gastprofessorin für Zirkuläres Bauen am KIT, beschreibt darin einen Perspektivwechsel: weg vom Fokus auf energieeffizienten Neubau, hin zu einem gesamtheitlichen Verständnis von Gebäuden über ihren gesamten Lebenszyklus. Ihr höchstes Credo dabei: Bestandserhalt. Genau hier setzt das Programm an. Fünf Module bauen aufeinander auf: Zunächst Grundlagenwissen, mit dem Teilnehmende selbst beurteilen können, ob Maßnahmen wirklich sinnvoll sind, und sattelfest zu Ideen Stellung beziehen können. Darauf aufbauend vertiefen die weiteren Module Themen für Planende – Projektstart, Konstruktionsprinzipien, Materialeinsatz – ebenso wie für Auslobende und Bauherrschaft, etwa wie sich zirkuläres Bauen in der Vergabe einfordern und beurteilen lässt. Müllers Einschätzung im Interview: Zirkuläres Bauen ist fester Bestandteil der Zukunft des Bauwesens. Wer sich jetzt vorne hinstellt, gestaltet die kommenden Veränderungen mit, statt ihnen hinterherzurennen. Das vollständige Interview finden Sie im Video unten. 📍 Modul 1 – Grundlagenkurs Einführung in das zirkuläre Bauen: 29./30. September 2026 Fachliche Leitung: Kerstin Müller 16 anerkannte Fortbildungsstunden ESF-Förderung: 45 % auf die Teilnahmegebühren für förderfähige Teilnehmende 👉 Weitere Infos und Anmeldung: https://bit.ly/4qU07OO Wo sehen Sie in Ihrer eigenen Praxis die größte Hürde beim Umstieg von linear zu zirkulär? #ZirkuläresBauen #IFBau Architektenkammer Baden-Württemberg

Hvordan kan vi bruke helsepersonellet vi allerede har bedre? Det er et sentralt spørsmål i Helsepersonellplan 2040. For meg er det naturlig at vi også ser på hvilken rolle apotekene kan spille. Vi har over 1 000 apotek i Norge. Der møter farmasøyter hver dag mennesker som trenger råd, veiledning og hjelp med legemidlene sine. Jeg mener denne kompetansen kan brukes til mer. Bedre oppgavedeling kan gjøre det enklere for folk å få hjelp, samtidig som annet helsepersonell får mer tid til oppgavene de trengs mest til. 👉 I denne videoen trekker jeg frem noen av forslagene våre til hvordan apotekene kan bidra mer.

Engineering is becoming more interdisciplinary than ever. Developments in AI, advanced materials, and computational methods are creating new opportunities for innovation and problem-solving. At the same time, the challenges we face are growing more complex, making collaboration across disciplines essential. That's why in-person gatherings matter. They bring together researchers, industry leaders, and practitioners whose conversations can spark new breakthroughs. I'm looking forward to joining those conversations at this year's IMECE conference in Vancouver. Join me to discover where engineering is headed next: https://lnkd.in/e2N8pNWn

The immediate priority following a natural disaster is to save lives and support affected communities. But recovery also requires rapid and reliable financing. Without it, physical damage can quickly become a macroeconomic shock—driving up food prices, straining public finances, disrupting supply chains, and weakening longer-term growth. In my latest commentary, first published by Project Syndicate, I explain how disaster-risk finance can serve as macroeconomic firewall across ASEAN+3. Prearranged financing can help governments respond quickly, preserve fiscal space, and prevent natural disasters from becoming humanitarian, fiscal, and ultimately financial crises. https://lnkd.in/gbbGHsES

Disasters and emergencies aren't rare anymore. And yet most of the systems built to respond to them were designed around one assumption that no longer holds true. I wrote about what has to change — and the window to change it is narrower than most people think. Link in comments.

Vijf talentvolle onderzoekers ontvangen beurs voor nieuw onderzoek 🧠 Het dementieonderzoek is het academische jaar goed begonnen. Alzheimer Nederland financiert maar liefst vijf nieuwe onderzoeksprojecten. Deze vijf talenten doen op verschillende manieren onderzoek naar dementie. Welke veranderingen in het DNA zijn er te zien bij mensen met FTD? Kunnen nieuwe soorten hersenscans veranderingen in de hersenen beter en eerder in kaart brengen? Welke rol spelen remmende cellen bij het verlies van herinneringen? Hoe zorgen hart- en vaatproblemen precies voor een hoger risico op dementie? En hoe ontwikkelen we maatwerkoplossingen zodat technologie beter past bij mensen met dementie en hun omgeving? Door antwoorden op deze vragen te vinden dragen alle vijf de onderzoekers bij om tot oplossingen voor dementie te komen en het leven van mensen met dementie te verbeteren. Gefeliciteerd 💛 Chantal Huisman, MSc Mario Tranfa Veerle van Gils Lianne Reus Julia van Adrichem NB: Dit zijn toekenningen vanuit de eerste ronde early career grants van de call biomedical research en een Impulssubsidie. In het najaar volgen de nieuwe toekenningen van de early career grants.

Conventional wisdom says older workers fall behind as tech evolves. The data says otherwise. A new AARP-LinkedIn report, led by Rebecca Perron, Matthew Baird, and Rosie Hood, PhD, shows workers 50+ are closing the tech skills gap, while bringing valuable soft skills – like leadership, communication, judgment and collaboration – that AI can’t replicate. The result? Stronger multigenerational teams, higher retention, and greater resilience for employers.

Today is World Earth Day, and it feels like a natural moment to reflect on the responsibility we all share in protecting our planet. It’s also a reminder that meaningful change can often start with small choices - those made individually and as organisations. This gives me the perfect opportunity to celebrate and thank everyone at Koto for their own contributions this year. We’re incredibly proud to have been members and contributors of 1% for the Planet since 2020. Today, we’re the largest creative agency member across their entire global network, with an impact spanning three continents. Thanks to the commitment and input of our studios, we’ve donated £1,276,756 since joining the cause. In that spirit, I wanted to share a bit about the environmental charity work and initiatives we’ve been supporting this year, and why it matters to us. There's still a long way to go, but we're committed to playing our part, every step of the way, with care.

It is time to treat critical minerals as public goods. We don't let the market decide how many ports, bridges or railways we need. Yet, mineral supplies are at the mercy of thin and opaque markets that are easily manipulated. That must change. Government's are stepping in but we need to go further - reframing critical minerals as public goods is essential to unlock the required support, build whole-of-society consensus on responsible production, and shake the complacency that threatens our shared prosperity. Here's the case for it:

Right now, there are three warning signs that this Ebola outbreak could be particularly difficult to contain. 1. The outbreak is spreading faster than the response. 2. Conflict and displacement are accelerating the risk of regional spread. 3. Severe global aid cuts have weakened frontline health systems and outbreak preparedness across eastern DRC. The bottom line? This could become the deadliest Ebola outbreak on record without urgent international action. More in the International Rescue Committee's Flash Alert: https://lnkd.in/ejz3Kqrz

Today, the International Rescue Committee and The LEGO Foundation are announcing a new $97 million, five‑year partnership to help more than five million children across East Africa and the Middle East learn, develop, and thrive. More than 400 million children live in or are fleeing conflict zones, where disruption to learning, toxic stress, and insecurity threaten their development from the earliest years. Yet less than 4% of aid to crisis‑affected countries supports early childhood development, despite overwhelming evidence that early investment delivers the greatest returns. This is a landmark commitment by the LEGO Foundation. It builds on more than seven years of collaboration, through which we have already reached over seven million children. Together, we are embedding proven, playful learning approaches into national systems—moving beyond short‑term programs to solutions that deliver impact at scale and over time. For millions of children growing up in conflict zones, disruption—not development—is the order of the day. The LEGO Foundation’s anchor investment provides a powerful foundation, but reaching more children will require others to step forward. We are calling on public and private partners to join us in moving beyond survival and toward helping children thrive now and into the future.

A government leader once told me we needed to phase out fossil fuels, but “as long as people are consuming oil, it might as well be ours.” Today, that thinking is changing. For decades, governments have negotiated emissions cuts but continued to increase fossil fuel production. The Santa Marta Conference marked a historic first step toward a new approach, and now that momentum is strong, we must move from dialogue to implementation. We need a Fossil Fuel Treaty, the international mechanism to manage a fast, fair and financed transition. Read more stories: https://lnkd.in/eijT9X5q

A Colombian mother and her baby inspired a clean air project in the Philippines. We were at a Clean Mobility Collective convening, talking about how to visualize pollution. "I want sometimes to put my son in a bubble," she said. Her words inspired 350 Pilipinas to create “Life in a Bubble” – a multi-channel campaign engaging local lawmakers on air pollution. The campaign is now spreading to other regions, including Latin America. At UMI Fund, we're seeing something powerful: good ideas don't stay local. They spread and create global change.

Fachkräftesicherung ist nicht nur Personalpolitik. Sie ist Wachstumspolitik. Wie groß die wirtschaftliche Dimension dahinter ist, hat unser gestriges Zukunftsforum der IHK Berlin eindrucksvoll gezeigt. Eine Verringerung der Vakanzzeiten bei offenen Stellen um zehn Prozent könnte nach Berechnungen des IAW die Berliner Wirtschaftsleistung um rund 4,1 Milliarden Euro jährlich erhöhen. Eine um 20 Prozent stärkere Zuwanderung internationaler Fachkräfte birgt ein zusätzliches Potenzial von rund 1,8 Milliarden Euro. Beeindruckende Zahlen. Und trotzdem denke ich bei Bildung und Fachkräftesicherung zuerst an etwas anderes: an Menschen und ihre Möglichkeiten. An Menschen, die etwas können und eine Chance brauchen, es zu zeigen. An diejenigen, die sich weiterentwickeln und Neues lernen wollen. Und an Unternehmen, die genau diese Fähigkeiten brauchen, um ihre Ideen umzusetzen, zu wachsen und Berlin voranzubringen. Wenn beides zusammenkommt, gewinnen nicht nur einzelne Menschen oder Unternehmen. Dann gewinnt unsere ganze Stadt. Umso mehr habe ich mich gefreut, beim Zukunftsforum das Panel „Berlin: Your Skills – Your City“ moderieren und gemeinsam mit Stefan Spieker, @Dr. Isabell Kempf und Matti-Sofia Kanyi die Perspektive Bildung und Fachkräfte in die Debatte über Berlins Zukunft einbringen zu dürfen. Für mich ist deshalb klar: Wenn wir über die Zukunft Berlins sprechen, müssen wir über wirtschaftliche Rahmenbedingungen sprechen. Aber genauso über Bildung, Chancen und darüber, wie wir Menschen dabei unterstützen, ihre Fähigkeiten einzubringen und weiterzuentwickeln. Denn am Ende sind es Menschen, die Zukunft gestalten. Und davon hat Berlin unglaublich viele. Credits: Ines Hasenau

"Out of all the things in this country that we could get rid of, why do you want to attack our children's learning?" A powerful question from a parent in rural Ohio quoted in The Hechinger Report’s piece by Jackie Mader. Here's what's at stake: 85% of brain development happens before age five. In many rural communities, Head Start is the only early learning and child care option available—not one of several, the only one. It keeps parents working and supports local economies. Yet Head Start programs across the country are facing serious funding uncertainty. Some have already closed classrooms or cut services. Strip this funding away, and we're not just closing programs. We're playing with the future of our country. Read the full story: https://lnkd.in/gU_aiy2E

Nearly half of all US families with children under 6 are struggling to meet basic needs. Let that sink in. Imaginable Futures has supported Stanford Center on Early Childhood’s RAPID Survey Project since the pandemic. Their latest data stopped me in my tracks: In July 2025, 45% of families with young children reported difficulty affording essentials, such as utilities, food, healthcare, housing, and child care. These are some of the highest hardship levels the RAPID survey has recorded since beginning during the pandemic in 2020. Even more alarming? This represents an 11 percentage point jump from just the month before, signaling a larger trend of deepening economic hardship. Our youngest learners and their parents deserve better. The early years are critical, with 85% of the human brain developing before age 5. When families can't afford the basics, we're limiting what's possible for everyone.

Når flotte virksomhedspolitikker bliver det rene bluff... Det her billede er taget fra en stor verdensomspændende virksomheds DEIB-politik. Altså politikken for, hvordan virksomheden arbejder med diversitet, lighed, inklusion og det at høre til på arbejdspladsen. I politikken står der bl.a., at virksomhedens arbejde med DEIB er med til at ”drive innovation ved at sikre, at alle kan bidrage og gøre en forskel.” Men selvsamme virksomhed er nu dømt for forskelsbehandling. Et medlem af HK Privat søgte job i virksomheden og blev kaldt til samtale. Hun spurgte, om der var noget, hun skulle tage højde for, når hun kom i kørestol. Herefter blev beskeden, at hun ikke skulle til jobsamtale alligevel. Men en dom for forskelsbehandling og en godtgørelse gør ikke op for problemet her. For det er ikke altid nemt at være jobsøgende, hvis man afviger fra normerne på arbejdspladsen. Det er uanset køn, hudfarve, religion, alder, kønsidentitet, kønsudtryk, seksuel orientering, om man er neurodivergent eller har et handicap. Mange orienterer sig derfor i virksomhedens politiker og bliver motiveret af at se sig spejlet og opleve at høre til. Derfor er det ikke kun et bluffnummer, som HK for nylig har afsløret. Det er et gigantisk svigt. For når ord og handlinger peger i hver sin retning, er det ikke værdier. Det er hykleri.

Det er usandsynligt at gå igennem et arbejdsliv uden at blive ramt af sorg undervejs. Og når alvorlig sygdom eller dødsfald kommer tæt på, har vi ofte brug for at blive grebet. Især af arbejdspladsen, hvor vi bruger så meget af vores tid. Alligevel har meget få arbejdspladser en sorgpolitik, og det vil vi i HK Privat og Det Nationale Sorgcenter gøre noget ved. Bl.a. har Victoria Tepper og jeg et debatindlæg i Finans i dag, og vi sætter fokus på emnet på dette års Folkemøde. For det er fint med en buket blomster og de første velmenende spørgsmål, men hvad med tiden efter, når medarbejderen stadig kæmper med koncentrationsbesvær, søvnproblemer eller følelsen af at stå alene? Alt for mange ledere, tillidsvalgte og kolleger står i dag uden redskaber, når en kollega rammes af sorg. Derfor bør flere virksomheder tage ansvar og få en sorgpolitik. For uden lader vi det være op til mavefornemmelser og varierende grad af omtanke. Vi risikerer at stille både kolleger og ledere i unødigt svære situationer, og endnu værre: Vi risikerer, at gode kolleger mister fodfæstet på arbejdsmarkedet, fordi de ikke får den nødvendige støtte i tide. Læs mere via link, og kom forbi, hvis du er på Folkemøde og vær med i debatten. Her har vi også Signe Tychsen Philip, Rikke Haaber og Malthe Melskens med. Ses vi?
