For centuries, members of the B’doul Bedouin tribe lived in the caves around the ancient city of Petra, Jordan. Then, in the 1980s, the government forced the tribe to move in the name of preserving the geological site for tourists. But if the residents are forced to leave, and if their heritage has been permanently changed, then what exactly is being preserved?

나중에 재생 나중에 재생 리스트 좋아요 좋아요Send us a text The story of materials science innovation rarely makes headline news, yet it's responsible for transformative changes in how we package products, build infrastructure, and handle waste. Dr. Tom Nosker, a National Academy of Inventors Fellow and materials science pioneer, shares his remarkable journey from Georgia mechanic to ground-breaking Rutgers researcher whose work has generated an estimated million jobs in recycling. Dr. Nosker's career began with a practical observation at a Volkswagen dealership – mechanics suffered debilitating physical issues by their 40s, with none reaching 50 without significant problems. This insight led him to engineering school and eventually to developing revolutionary technologies in plastic recycling and composite materials. His structural plastic lumber innovations have created railway bridges sturdy enough to support military tanks, while his recent work with graphene composites promises to transform packaging with superior barrier properties. What makes Dr. Nosker's work particularly significant is how it combines environmental sustainability with practical application. His plastic recycling technologies don't just reduce waste – they create materials superior to traditional options. The graphene composites he's developing can match aircraft aluminum for strength while providing exceptional gas barrier properties in packaging applications. Though the resulting bottles would be black rather than clear, they represent a potential breakthrough for pharmaceuticals and beverages requiring enhanced protection. Beyond his technical insights, Dr. Nosker provides fascinating context about materials science evolution, including how the U.S. shifted from oil to natural gas for plastics production, and Thomas Gold's controversial "Deep Hot Biosphere" theory about hydrocarbon formation. As he looks toward retirement, his legacy of innovation continues expanding through global licensing agreements generating millions in sales annually. Ready to discover how materials science shapes our packaging world? Listen now to gain insights from one of the field's most influential innovators.…

나중에 재생 나중에 재생 리스트 좋아요 좋아요Send us a text Take a fascinating journey behind the scenes of pharmaceutical packaging with Leo Frias, Sales Manager at Fariba Pack, as he pulls back the curtain on the invisible world of automation that brings medications safely to pharmacy shelves nationwide. When you grab that prescription from your local Walgreens or CVS, you're holding the end result of an extraordinarily complex manufacturing and packaging process. "The average person doesn't think twice about the world of automation that happens behind that final product," Leo explains, revealing how each bottle, blister pack, or carton requires multiple verification systems, precise machinery, and rigorous quality control before reaching consumers. Leo shares the remarkable story of his unexpected entry into the packaging industry eleven years ago when his Italian neighbor (now colleague and friend) invited him to join a company representing over a century of combined engineering experience. Despite lacking a technical background, Leo embraced the challenge of learning the intricate world of pharmaceutical packaging automation—proving that diverse career paths can flourish in this specialized field. The conversation explores cutting-edge projects including high-speed suppository production lines running at 22,000 units per hour and advanced packaging systems for vaccine manufacturers. We discuss how artificial intelligence is transforming the industry through deep learning algorithms and remote troubleshooting capabilities, while still maintaining the crucial human element that ensures quality and safety. Beyond the technical aspects, Leo reveals how the industry thrives on personal connections formed at major trade shows like Interphex and Pack Expo, often strengthened through shared passions for food, fine spirits, and cigars. These relationships form the foundation of successful business partnerships that drive innovation throughout the packaging world. Listen now to gain a new appreciation for the remarkable journey every pharmaceutical product takes before reaching your medicine cabinet. You'll never look at a simple prescription bottle the same way again! FARIBA PACK Packaging Solutions…
