the world according to a gesture. welcome to my world come along for the ride. greetings and salutation. just over one hundred years ago the world witnessed the tragic and violent results of what happens when military technology outpaces military strategy and humanity is lost to battlefield hubris the result of the world with over forty million lives lost both civilian and soldier that was world war one was one hundred third anniversary is coming up on july twenty eighth just twenty five years later those same mistakes were duplicated this time in the skies

above japan when the united states dropped the atomic bombs in world war two and now today we may very well be seeing these these same miscalculations and battlefield who bruce playing out all over again but this time the the weapons are not made of iron and gunpowder but of ones and zeros the associated press is reporting this week that according to u.s. officials the trump administration is finalizing plans to revamp the nation's military command for depend sivan off and subside bra peroration in hopes of intensifying america's ability to wage a cyber war against the islamic state group and other photos the plan would involve separating the military focused u.s. cyber command from its current home of the n.s.a. and elevate it to the status of a unified command under its own commander this move according to the a.p. would relieve the operational tension currently arising between cyber command and the n.s.a. a.p.

journalist will lead about door writes that the defense department has been agitating for a separation perceiving the n.s.a. and intelligence community as resistant to more aggressive cyber warfare particularly. after the islamic states transformation while the military wanted to attack islamic state networks intelligence objective was prioritized gathering information from them so as the white house and the pentagon prepare to put cyber warfare into the same realm of battle as sea air and land let's take a moment to pause and wonder if our humanity is once again being blinded by military technology and battlefield who bruce as we start watching call. it the. real that. is the bottom.

like you that i got. this. week so. well the watching the hawks i am tyrone ventura and that time and i'm off the wall as they are taken into the cyber taken into ones and zeros reviewed we need to break free from the benign and i say rather it's they've never done any friends of the capabilities of cyber warfare at the end of say it's all just purely just information right i'm relieved no i don't . and they want to branch out of david's own kind of department commander and so i'm saying often it's a deep sense of does it i will let me ask you this how dangerous do you think cyber warfare is a comparable to the atomic bomb and that kind of weaponry where we don't quite know how bad it's going to get until we're too late we're too far down the road what we

do know how bad it can and anybody here think it's. out of how many years are you saying things like they're made as that's this is the problem is that what you're looking at is something that isn't. it's not pinpoint it's not you know you send a drone and it shoots a weapon and it's we're dropping a bomb we're sending troops it's something that takes out resources it takes out things that everyone in an area uses and in our current political climate of we have to retaliate everything that's supposedly done to us back and forth that's you know electricity water roads roads there's a million things that are run off of some sort of digital platform and i also just find the whole like cyber is it's it's it's not a five year old with a gun it's more like a. legally blind it's likely to mention written person

with a cotton. or someone who doesn't really know what's going on freaked out about stuff it's just bad that was you said it's like offensive defensive and i love in your bio because there have thought it was so great because you had that moment of of what they're saying is that well they're just resistant to just using it for warfare i know that we would want to do it ourselves just as a military pedagogical stuff because the intelligence people don't want to do something i mean i'm not one to say the intelligence community should be listened to but in this case that seems where it's you're saying they're not intelligent enough to know whether the users would have what it is like. what it actually is so cyber command was created in two thousand and nine it was part of the obama administration and they were sort of addressing these these threats of saber espionage and everything we've been talking about that's why it's so funny that we sit here and go what i've been doing well they've been screaming about oh my god

they're going to get us they're going to get us everyone's going to get us for a bit leave on time it was originally this unit under the u.s. strategic command but what they ended up doing is it was just to sort of defend its own networks and those used by. forces and battle will begin the science of all beginnings it gets really bad now it's grown to about seven hundred military and civilian employees. and the idea of one of the splitting why they want to split what they want to do so the goal is to give cyber command more autonomy for a get up to use all these constraints now. this is a point of concern for a lot of people. is this within the government because according to pay a piece or a says the concerns of splitting it off are you know sweating for the n.s.a. is not going to be all sort of rainbows and butterflies. right now imagine that so specifically that cyber command. access to the intelligence agencies resources

which you know as this person as this source told the a.p. you got three hundred of the one of the country's best top mathematicians and there already is a supercomputers that they say they have absolutely all they can say is. literally gigantic super computers would be limited because they wouldn't have the resources of the and i was told by by breaking off from the n.s.a. they rightly crippled basically they wouldn't have the resources to actually do what they need to do what i think is the this is all playing into once again money because you know money is what makes the. complex world go round six hundred forty seven million dollars is what the requesting that's a sixteen percent increase from last years to the next two years and this kind of split is where the you know is where they say this will be found the also interesting thing to note in that is that if this does get split currently the n.s.a. and u.s. are both run by admiral mike rogers you see that was a go to dark circles under the eyes of the testimonies and all that looks like you

haven't slept and we do you tell the difference. you know if these go through you can see the new people being assigned to both these departments including the n.s.a. and we could actually see a civilian. in charge of the n.s.a. or bureau is in charge of point of. the n.s.a. and then they leave the military up to cyber command which would be a first is having a civilian be put in charge of the n.s.a. will see margo a breath. charm city appears to have discovered a new tactic in the war on drugs and it's not all that charming and i just released body cam video an officer can be seen planting a bag of heroin capsules in a residential backyard as his two partners stand next to an officer richard pineiro and his team then accepted the alleyway at which point he reactivates the sound on his camera we can only presume he thought the video was previously turned off and as he turns the sound back on he announces he's going to go back there and check

them out with what sounds like laughter from this team and then lo and behold the officer convincingly your sister some quater before his third try finding a stealth fully hidden bag of heroin he is no doubt shocked to see so while these guys are waiting on their emmy let's take a look at the real world implications of what we just saw tyro why there are. three just three and when i when i see that i'm still say alleged to have officially been good we know the other videos talked a lot on their way back that you could see the guy like turn this back on after we stood around and put those there you know if you're going to be the fairest at least least know how the cameras work that you're going to be shutting off and having to do is just like terrible goodman i believe it is sad thing with this is that the community the police and communities around the country not just in baltimore but we've seen baltimore and the tragic events taking place of the year

of the year but you know they're at an all time low already. you can't get lower right now in a lot of careers grows in country in terms of do i trust the police do enough to expose and not. sphere video where you actually have them walk over her and sprinkle a little heroin you know it's like the old. dave chapelle joke will grow the sport will crack on a limb you're ok it's almost it's that bad it is that bad and this is only going to drive more of a wedge between the community especially in baltimore between the community the police i remember we just saw the let the guys who killed. brokers neck yak about the uproar they just let us go yes you know why are suing because it's there so i think what's so obviously the case has been dropped against the person that was involved in this clearly but what really becomes problematic

and this is where a lot of people this is why they don't want to do they you don't want to prosecute cops and why they don't want to push the cops because what happens when you do that is that everything they touch becomes comes into question so while this case was dropped the officer involved officer pinero. he is a witness on the main officer here is a witness on fifty three other cases so you're going to have to go back now anybody who was if he was even at the scene of the arrest of your every warrior who has a client and every public defender is going to be looking through all of those things just to see if something happened in this is where it is if you don't keep it clean and do this it's going to cost you a heck of a lot more later when we have a lot a lot of people out and you've taken their lives already planted evidence truly incredible i mean look this baltimore's didn't hit left to right the baltimore police department like so they love the guy's walk who killed freddie gray i'm

sorry. i don't know how freddie died any other way it was in their use of the blood for her responsibility again it's always that kind of thing of like well it's the one bad apple or not all of us are oh. this and all we are is exclusive this gives you got you know a guy shooting a woman in minneapolis speaker who called him a crime there because he heard a loud noise and she walked up to the car i mean at some point we have to ask ourselves it's time to actually rebuild how we police are selves in the ground up well and we need better psychological and just general social testing and training of officers before they go on the field because you are if you work out a scene like in minnesota if you are out a scene of a possible sexual assault and a woman coming out of the dark in her pajamas running toward your car for safety is it scares you you don't belong and get up on it and i'm sick of hearing about how scared they are exact they're the ones with the guns in the power well and that's why i say bring back the police academies we use the police got this country where

you would send people who wanted to be cops you would send them to get proper training that way they were properly trained to go out in the street and they were how to be trained to deal with the community to protect and serve not to you know militarize breed sprinkle a little drugs in the area when they want to get a conviction or shoot a woman you know running across the street or take people around rough rides and break their necks and this is the thing i want to say is the response of the city officials and the police union officials this is pretty they're apologetic but i want to this one time one of the facial said. one of those will said that the actions may have been the officers reenacting how they found the evidence for the camera. wow. no no no. we've heard this before we were just reacting it was part of a of an instagram thing i'm going to reroute you're on the you're on duty there's

no reenacting and police reaction as you can see what i'm worried i'm not yesterday's go to break you know it's like that was already we're going to break hard lodger's the home for good to let us know what do you think of the top of your garbage for the first your poll shows that are. coming. american planetary scientist in astrophysics the speed of light she enters we are supposed to discuss her shocking fight with the discrimination of the will struggle of states with. all the world's a stage and all the news companies merely players but what kind of parties are in t. america playing marty america offers more artsy america first lead in

many ways a new selenski just like the feel of real news big news good actors bad actors and in the end you could never you're on. some other parking all the world's all the world's day all the world's a stage we are definitely a player. i'm john harshman and i'll give you what the mainstream media can't the big picture will go deeper investigate and debate all so you can get the big picture. thank. you. last year caroline simpson an astronomer a professor at the department of physics at florida international university told the blog from the lab bench the first time someone says something sexist you shrug

it off the second time someone says something you shrug it off the ninety if you stop shrugging it off and one thousand nine hundred five study of gender equity and science found that seventy three percent of the women they interviewed really had career experiences they regarded as discriminatory such as denial of jobs and tenure and they found that female scientists found that colleagues and superiors simply didn't talk to them or consult them for input nearly as often as they did male scientist in addition twenty seventeen report from the national science foundation from that two thirds of those working in science and engineering are white and only two percent are black women now a new study published in the journal of geophysical research analyzed the workplace experiences from twenty eleven to twenty fifteen and four hundred seventy four science undergraduate level to senior researchers the findings it woman's experience the chance of experiencing workplace harassment in the science fields is much higher if she belongs to multiple minority groups the intersection of

oppression is often brushed aside as simple identity politics but the science tells it's more important than ever joining us now to discuss the study double jeopardy in astronomy and planetary science is the stronger dr christina ricci and also sorry try to go. dr katherine katherine claims the bakers that will trouble you thank you for joining us christina and catherine thank you so i want to i want to start what what inspire what inspired you to you. both to tackle this very important subject matter yes so i can go ahead and answer that for you as an astronomer and astrophysicist i've been working with this field for about ten years in terms of trying to help women within the field find resources to deal and you know tackle harassment issues that they were dealing with on a daily basis and as we were trying to combat this i kept trying to ask our leadership

to really give us the opportunity to give talks and lectures on the topic at larger and larger forums and we were always relegated to the women's lunch and a lot of my leadership would actually say things like oh well you know you just know of the one or two maybe the three people that this is happening to really and guiltily you don't have proof to kind of back up what you're saying and so i wanted to get some proof to shut that down and so when we first started to build the survey myself and one of the other shutters attached dr air corridors really wanted to make sure that we built a survey that included demographics that were really inclusive to understanding all of the issues of harassment not just sexual harassment and in order to do that we needed a social science expert and dr katherine clancy who's a so on here actually just came out with another field study of a different field anthropology and so we we basically asked kathryn we backed her because she's amazing to join this team so that was the motivation behind it well

catherine let me ask you this study said some pretty disturbing perspectives from the participants forty percent of women of color reported that they felt felt safe that's a pretty big thing unsafe in the workplace because of their gender or sexual. another twenty eight percent felt it was felt that way because of their race what kind of a fag does that feeling unsafe it's seems like labs and science that should be the you know there's no reason to feel unsafe in your coworkers what effect does that have on them and the work they're doing. sure and thanks for asking i think that has a pretty profound effect i think that when you have a significant portion of the scientific population. feeling fundamentally unsafe and unwelcome in their workplace it really slows down scientific progress if you do not feel comfortable with the people who work with you because they're committing racial microaggression because they're belittling you because of your gender

because they're in any way making you feel like just because of your identity you somehow don't belong it's going to be hard to it's going to be a tough hard to attend professional events it's going to be hard to get your work done it's going to lead to worse mental health outcomes and the literature has shown just you know folks who study workplace aggression more broadly have shown that when people are made to feel that way in the workplace they're a lot more likely to leave their job and so what we're running the risk of by creating these hostile workplaces is ending up with a less diverse workforce which has been shown to lead to you know much poorer problem solving frankly and when you don't have a diverse team you don't end up having to first questions first methods diverse answers and so you know a field like astronomy is actually poorer for creating this kind of work place one of the interesting things is that the crux of the issue seems to be that we've allowed a culture of hostility to kind of fester in our workplaces i don't think this is just something that you see in him astronomy and in the sciences you see that i was

more surprised to see where the american management association from the sixty five point six million working americans report you are experiencing or witnessing abuse of experiencing or witnessing abuse of conduct during their work days you know what did you find the effects of that kind of abuse war on the women of the. all around their coworkers in your research. so sharon so for this paper oh go ahead christina no no it's ok you can have catherine. so polite. so. because we're women exactly you're not still it always this way or even the culture rated we've been a culture rated to share i know we've been a culture that to share the credit right exactly what i think is really important about. what i think is really important about these findings is exactly what you're saying that they match the broader our broader understanding of workplace culture that we aren't necessarily creating these affirmative place values based. you know

cultures that were not coming together and saying well given the kind of work we want to do the change you want to make in the world the products we want to sell or the discoveries we want to we want to enable what is the kind of professional workplace behavior that would be appropriate. and so instead what we have are these conditions where you know especially people who are in these multiple marginality statuses like women of color that they are less likely to socially interact they're less likely feel welcome and that's why you know the other big finding of ours not just that they're feeling unsafe but that they're skipping a lot of professional events is probably having profound consequences for their ability to climb the ladder you know sort of like make their way up to senior scientist level. but also again just make it harder for them to be great mentors and. to and to not just have like a huge chunk of their brain occupied every day with dealing with these kinds of things when those of us who have fewer of those kinds of things or enjoy more

privileges we don't have to have that running kind of like a background process it's kind of like when your phone gets slowed down by too many apps running at once i just frankly don't have to deal with those things as a white woman. to work with i think your thoughts on that subject as well just kind of the idea of what effect that has. yeah so so one of the major impacts that we see within this field is and just as like kind of a precursor here i should know that this field is majority white much larger than that of the typical traditional united states population and so you have these these environments that are very much based on kind of the white male majority and the culture that comes with them and so you have these environments where if you are a black woman or a latino woman your experiences are very different than that of the majority which means you tend to become an outsider and become isolated now add to that the fact

that akademi and stem in general have a really tough power dynamic where you reliance upon say advisers for data or team members and you have moments of isolation say in the lab plus moments of socialization in conferences and you just have a unique work dynamic going on so all of these different social interactions that have to occur either on an individual level on a larger level starts to impact what that culture looks like for the entire group and when you have this majority white male culture you start to have these issues crop up and i think the thing that we see from our data and from these results is that here we have a group that has got in extreme. the
