Youtube daily Jun 29 2018

The second half of the year will bring us a bunch of new flagship handsets, including

the Galaxy Note 9, new iPhone models, and the Pixel 3.

In fact, we're now seeing rumors detailing these products on a daily basis.

But it's rare to see a report about the next-gen iPhone bring good news to Pixel fans

looking forward to buying one of this year's Pixel 3 handsets.

A report from the South China Morning Post says that Apple is considering using LG Display-made

OLED screens in between 2 million and 4 million iPhone X Plus units.

This isn't the first time LG is rumored to be joining Samsung when it comes to OLED

suppliers for the iPhone, but LG is apparently closer than ever to landing the deal.

How is this important to Google and the Pixel fan base?

Well, the Pixel 3 XL, which will have an iPhone X-like design, is said to pack an OLED screen

made by LG.

Last year's Pixel 2 XL also had an LG OLED screen on board, but that screen was the source

of unexpected controversies.

Various performance issues forced early reviewers to rethink their conclusions.

Google heard the criticism and issued software updates to fix the various problems.

The Pixel 2, which packs a Samsung OLED screen, wasn't affected by the same problems.

In fact, Samsung at a time ran a TV commercial about the quality of its own OLED screens.

If Apple is happy with LG's display tech, then it must mean the South Korean company

has made significant improvements when it comes to building OLED screens for smartphones.

LG, of course, already makes excellent OLED screens for TVs, so it's about time we see

LG OLED screens in more handsets, 2018 iPhone models included.

Virgil Abloh on That Kanye Hug: 'In My Dream, It Was Him Down the Runway' - Duration: 1:18.

What's up, guys?

Frazier here for Complex News.

Virgil Abloh, the newly appointed Men's Artistic Director of Louis Vuitton, debuted his inaugural

collection for the French fashion house earlier in June at Paris fashion week.

During the unveiling of the new collection, a star studded event that included people

like Kid Cudi, Playboi Carti, Kim Kardashian, and many more, Virgil and his mentor Kanye

West shared a tearful and emotional hug.

Abloh recently sat down with Naomi Campbell for an interview with British Vogue, where

the famed model and actress is a contributing editor.

The pair discussed the aforementioned topics, in addition to the beginnings of his fashion

career, and more.

On the subject of Kanye and the LV men's show, Virgil gave credit to 'Ye for his vision and

helping him get to where he is today:

"It was the community […] That show was us.

That link wouldn't have happened unless I had acknowledged that Kanye stood from a mountaintop

long ago and yelled, saying, 'The future of fashion will be like this!'

I wanted the world to see that the guy who fought for this moment is a part of it and

is uniquely linked to me doing it."

Speaking about his historic appointment to Louis Vuitton, Virgil remarked:

"They're allowing me to place my full collections in the same archives that go back to 1854,

so that, to me, you can't erase that . . . I want us to be remembered […] That's my

goal."

That's the news for now, but for all the latest news on Virgil Abloh, subscribe to

What are you doing here? I already talked to you.

We're here so you can realize

what you've been hiding from all year.

No, no, no, that's okay.

Ah. Comfy.

Put it together, Jenna.

Come on, you got this.

No, this is--this is too weird.

I have to leave.

Okay, no. Not you too.

Come on, Hamildunce. Even you're good enough

at math to add this one up.

I'm sorry, Jenna, but even I get it.

Oh, I figured it out.

That quote about the past was by William Faulkner.

Duh, I should've known that one.

Okay, uh, good dream, guys.

Thanks for the help, but you can go now.

[door opens]

You sabotaged our relationship

because you were still into Matty.

You only dated me because I was different than Matty

You were in love with the drama,

because it led you back to Matty.

You never would have kissed me

unless you thought Matty was kissing someone else.

What does it all add up to, Jenna?

♪ You, your heart is golden ♪

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. It's Matty.

I've never stopped being in love with Matty.

I love Matty.

(Jenna voice-over) The sun was up, and I was more awake

than I'd been in a long time.

And for once, I was going to do something about it.

Why some speakers can't understand speakers who understand them - Asymmetric Intelligibility - Duration: 8:32.

If you and I both speak the same language, we can communicate. If we don't, we can't.

Right?

Except consider this documentary where they interviewed someone in the Sea Islands off

Georgia. He says ever since radio and TV came to town, our way of speaking just became more

and more American. Now we sound like them, they sound like us. Just one problem: this

interview has subtitles because America, this Gullah speaker understands you perfectly,

but it's not so easy to go the other way.

See, sometimes when languages come together they create this really odd situation, where

it's easy enough for one person to communicate one way but it's much harder in reverse.

Today I want to get animated about that. Including one time I noticed it myself and, even better,

three countries full of people where this kind of asymmetric intelligibility is normal.

Do I finally get to use this one? I've been sitting on it for a year. It felt like such

a NativLang moment. So I'm in the store, standing in line with a handbasket full of what my

friend Javier calls my rabbit food. I'm agonizing over whether or not to put back the nuts.

They were on the pricey side for what you're paying me these days. Enter a fashionable

woman. She glides over to the fancy tea-juice-potion section, the one that's for the $8+ crowd,

not the 5.99 uh that's a little pricey for nuts crowd.

Seconds later, I swear out of nowhere - phwooh - one of the employees is right next to her

unboxing stuff. I hear the eagerness in his voice when he asks, "you need help finding

anything?" She turns and sounds come out of her mouth but no words. Wait, no. She's speaking

Italian! Our selfless helper doesn't flinch. He switches from English on the spot. No momentum

lost. The two exchange a bit of banter, he shows her down an aisle and their voices fade

into the store.

There's something I forgot to mention though, and it's why the moment stuck with me. When

the employee switched, he spoke Spanish... y español con acento caribeño, which I find

quite lovely. Two languages were crossing paths but in a lopsided way. He was clearly

having an easier time helping her than the other way around.

Why? Well, we could come up with reasons. He's eager to help. Maybe he's heard Italian

before. Maybe he's used to juggling languages. In short, motive and opportunity. But one

more factor can come into play in situations like this: the languages themselves.

To see how, let's visit a place where this kind of communication happens every day. This

frozen-looking area at the top of Europe is home to a bunch of languages plus a ton of

dialects, but focus on the Scandinavian "North Germanic" languages: Swedish, Norwegian, Danish.

For most of us, understanding another language takes study and time. But Scandinavians are

lucky. Their languages are close enough that they can go next door and mostly communicate,

semi-communication style! It's like a triangle. A beautiful triangle of understanding. This

is mutual intelligibility, and it is glorious.

But the triangle isn't evenly balanced. I hear it's much harder to semicommunicate in

Swedish and Danish than it is in Swedish and Norwegian.

And it gets even more unequal in each pair. If you're Danish, Swedish is easier for you

than if you're a Swede hearing Danish. So unfair! It's "asymmetric intelligibility".

Wow, that's a lot of syllables.

We could try to boil this down to, like I said before, motive and opportunity. But what

if it's not the people but the languages themselves that are creating Scandinavia's asymmetry?

How could we tell? Well, the languages are close enough that their grammar and, mostly,

vocabulary don't change much from tongue to tongue. The big difference is in how they

get pronounced. So here how a Swede says Copenhagen: Köpenhamn. Now here's a Dane: København.

Smart people decided to measure this difference with the Levenshtein distance. I'm not your

math teacher or your math channel, but here's the function if you really want to play with it,

in its recursive glory. I'll honestly be doing the same, so we can nerd together. Solidarity.

The results estimate what it takes to transform one word into another, so how far apart cognates

should sound. Danish cognates should be more distant from Swedish than the way Norwegians

say them. Swedish and Danish should be extremes, and Norwegian should settle down

right in the middle.

One of those authors teamed up for another study hoping to do even better using entropy.

Again, not your math teacher here. That's my mom's job, and she rocks at it. Basically,

model the uncertainty Scandinavians feel when they're semicommunicating

and guessing at sounds.

An example. Danish grammatical endings can only have one vowel in them. But their Swedish

cognates can have three. This creates uncertainty for Swedes listening to Danish. So, using

conditional entropy, just how uncertain is Swedish given Danish? How intelligible is

that intelligibility?

Calculating with a bunch of cognates, it looks like Danish to Swedish should be more complicated,

higher conditional entropy, than Swedish to Danish. Swedish and Norwegian are lower, but

we expect more of a challenge going from Norwegian to Swedish than the other way. Denmark should

understand Norway better than vice versa. Really, Danes should get everyone better than

they get the Danes.

Danish does have a reputation for being the tricky one. We could do a whole animated tangent

on Danish's very evolved sounds, but, here, one more time: kʰøb̥m̩ˈhɑʊ̯ˀn.

Enough said.

So now we have numbers guessing what intelligibility should be. What happens if we invite real

speakers in for a real test? Ask Scandinavians who use one of the languages at home to listen

to a reading in another language, then quiz them. How well did they understand? Did high

entropy predict low intelligibility?

Let's see. Danes have an easier time understanding Swedes than vice versa. Check! Norwegians

and Swedes understand each other better. Perfect! Except, wait... why are Norwegian speakers

having such an easy time with Danish? I'm reading that right? Yeah. Danish should be

hard for Norwegians, but these results makes it look like Norwegians understand everything

better than everyone.

Hhh, why? Well, researchers speculate. I'll have to leave it a mystery this time, but

the reasons probably bring us back to motive and opportunity.

These three factors make asymmetric intelligibility happen not just in Scandinavia but around

the world. Written Estonian looks more like Finnish to Finns than written Finnish does

to Estonians. Lao and Thai are close, but you Lao speakers out there have a leg up,

possibly thanks to Thai soap operas and magazines. Jamaican Patwah speakers understand English,

but the reverse is notoriously vexing. And my amazing patrons pointed out Québec French

for Parisians, Romanian for Italians and Spanish for many kids in the US.

So the next time you can't understand someone who understands you, it might be because they're

motivated. Maybe they want to help a well-dressed Italian. It could be exposure: they've met

your words before, like Gullah. But, most intriguing of all, it may be because something

about your language tilts the odds in their favor.

Just because you don't understand someone, it's no guarantee they can't understand you.

Thanks to my patrons for voting for this and for keeping the channel's heart beating and

tongue talking. Oh, let me know if you have any asymmetric intelligibility stories of

your own. I'm collecting any good ones. And stick around and subscribe for language.

Tony Stark vs Senator Stern - Iron Man 2 (2010) HD - Duration: 4:00.

God bless Iron Man. God bless America.

That is well said, Mr Hammer.

The committee would now like to invite

Lieutenant Colonel James Rhodes to the chamber.

Rhodey? What?

Hey, buddy. I didn't expect to see you here.

Look, it's me, I'm here. Deal with it. Let's move on.

I just...

- Drop it. - All right, I'll drop it.

I have before me a complete report on the Iron Man weapon,

compiled by Colonel Rhodes. And, Colonel, for the record,

can you please read page 57, paragraph four?

You're requesting that I read specific selections

- from my report, Senator? Yes, sir.

It was my understanding that I was going to be testifying

in a much more comprehensive and detailed manner.

I understand. A lot of things have changed today.

- So if you could just read... You do understand

that reading a single paragraph out of context does not reflect

- the summary of my final... Just read it, Colonel. I do. Thank you.

Very well.

"As he does not operate within any definable branch of government,

"Iron Man presents a potential threat to the security of both the nation

"and to her interests."

I did, however, go on to summarise

that the benefits of Iron Man far outweigh the liabilities.

- And that it would be in our interest... That's enough, Colonel.

- ... to fold Mr Stark... That's enough.

... into the existing chain of command, Senator.

I'm not a joiner, but I'll consider Secretary of Defense, if you ask nice.

We can amend the hours a little bit.

I'd like to go on and show, if I may,

the imagery that's connected to your report.

I believe it is somewhat premature to reveal these images

- to the general public at this time. With all due respect,

Colonel, I understand.

And if you could just narrate those for us, we'd be very grateful.

Let's have the images.

Intelligence suggests that the devices seen in these photos

are, in fact, attempts at making manned copies

of Mr Stark's suit.

This has been corroborated by our allies and local intelligence on the ground,

indicating that these suits are quite possibly, at this moment, operational.

Hold on one second, buddy. Let me see something here.

Boy, I'm good. I commandeered your screens.

I need them. Time for a little transparency.

- Now, let's see what's really going on. What is he doing?

If you will direct your attention to said screens...

I believe that's North Korea.

Can you turn that off? Take it off.

Iran.

No grave immediate threat here. Is that Justin Hammer?

How did Hammer get in the game?

Justin, you're on TV. Focus up.

Okay, give me a left twist. Left's good. Turn to the right.

Oh, shit. Oh, shit!

Wow.

Yeah, I'd say most countries, five, 10 years away.

Hammer Industries, 20.

I'd like to point out that that test pilot survived.

I think we're done, is the point that he's making.

- I don't think there's any reason... The point is, you're welcome, I guess.

- For what? Because I'm your nuclear deterrent.

It's working. We're safe. America is secure.

You want my property? You can't have it.

But I did you a big favour.

I've successfully privatised world peace.

What more do you want? For now!

I tried to play ball with these ass-clowns.

... you, Mr Stark... you, buddy.

We're adjourned. We're adjourned for today.

- Okay. - You've been a delight.

My bond is with the people.

And I will serve this great nation at the pleasure of myself.

If there's one thing I've proven

it's that you can count on me to pleasure myself.

What's New in the Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) 18.05 | Intel Software - Duration: 4:34.

Hi, I'm Sujata from Intel.

In this video, we talk about what

is new in the latest release of the Data Plane Development Kit,

or DPDK 18.05, and how it can benefit you as a developer.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

DPDK is a set of libraries and drivers for fast packet

processing.

You can convert a general purpose processor

into your own packet forwarder without having

to use expensive custom switches and routers.

Using hardware and software architecture advantages

like multi-core support, user space processing,

and high speed IO, DPDK is able to provide

a significant performance enhancement.

In some cases, there is a 10x increase in performance.

DPDK runs as a Linux freeBSD user level application

accessing the hardware devices directly via Poll Mode Drivers,

or PMD, which includes a number of virtual device drivers.

DPDK supports a large number of CPUs and NIC devices.

The CPUs include Intel, ARM, and PowerPC.

NIC Support includes 1 gig, 10 gig, 40 gig, 100 gig NICS,

and multi-vendor support.

The multi-vendor support includes Intel, Cavium,

Mellanox, NXP, and Virtio.

DPDK also supports crypto devices

in a look-aside design plus compression.

To make it easier for developers,

DPDK comes with a large collection of sample apps

and documentation.

Now let's cover some DPDK 18.05 features.

One of the biggest changes in DPDK 18.05

is in the area of memory management.

The memory in use by DPDK now changes dynamically

as the needs of the application changes.

The initial memory footprint of a DPDK app starting up

will be very small, allowing for faster startup.

But then, as the app acquires more memory

for its data structures and packet buffers,

it will acquire them from the operating system.

Similarly, as the structures are no longer needed and released

by the application, the memory used

is released to the operating system.

This dynamic memory support in DPDK

will help users run multiple DPDK applications

on a single system.

This is because the huge page memory on the system

can be shared between the various processors.

This may make system dimensioning easier

compared to the alternative, which in the past

had each process dimensioned for its worst case memory

footprint.

Another feature added to the 18.05 release

is support for data compression in DPDK.

In its initial releases, DPDK started out only

supporting Network Interface Cards, or NICS.

But over the last few years, its device support

has expanded to cover cryptography via cryptodev,

events scheduling via eventdev, and baseband wireless

via bbdev.

The latest addition to this family

is compressdev, which provides the data structures and APIs

to perform compression on data.

In line with how the API sets are designed,

the compressdev APIs are explicitly

neutral in how they look to support the underlying

functionality.

They allow hardware devices to implement

the API to allow both hardware and software accelerated

compression.

Additionally, Intel optimized code from the Intel

Intelligence Storage Acceleration Library Project

will be available as part of the 18.05 release

with other hardware and software drivers expected

as part of the 18.08 and subsequent releases.

There's much more to learn about DPDK,

so follow the links provided to get additional information.

Don't forget to like and subscribe to the Intel Software

YouTube channel.

Thanks for watching.

I am Psyched! for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and Intersex (LGBTQI) Pride Month - Duration: 54:40.

[Music]

[Applause]

This is I am psyched for LGBTQI Pride

Month and we are very pleased to have a

roundtable discussion of eminent women

in psychology moderated by Angela

Ferguson who is an associate professor

at Howard University and the

participants in the roundtable are

doctors Connie Chan, Oliva

Espin, and Beverly Greene. First I'd like to say I am honored to be a moderator on

this very fine panel just as a side note

or on a personal note when I was a

graduate student every one of your works

influenced my own research and served as

an influence and inspiration for me to

carry on in the research that I'm doing

so I, I actually thank each and every one

of you for your scholarship your

pioneering work to dare to introduce the

idea that ethnicity and race matter and

are part of the LGBTQ community so thank

you. So to get started I'd like to ask

each of you one simple question which is

going to take you back a few years but

if you could tell us a little bit about

who you were and what you were like

growing up. I'll start I my experience is

kind of characterized by the immigrant

experience my family was in, in mainland

China and basically went to Hong Kong as

refugees when the when the Communists

took over in 1949 and I was born in Hong

Kong so we were displaced and I came to

the United States when I was one and a

half under the refugee act and I had

done some history seeking since then and

I found out that the refugee act that

allowed us in was primarily designed for

people from communist countries who are

refugees from communist countries and they had

quotas and some of the quotas were as

high as fifty thousand for Germans and

Italians and for Hungarians and they had

a quota of two thousand for Chinese

which is one of the lowest groups so I'm,

I feel very fortunate to have been able

to come in as as a documented person but

you know I feel like I could easily have

been one of the undocumented children

who came if if my parents had been able

to come in and we became naturalized

American citizens after that but the

immigrant experience is one that many

people share and certainly as an

immigrant I had the the displacement my

parents didn't speak English well we

were, we spoke Cantonese in the home so I

didn't speak English at home either and

I remember in kindergarten my I was in

San Francisco and my mom picked me up

from school and I was gathering all my

stuff at my cubicle and she started

speaking to me in Cantonese in Chinese and I

remember being horrified you know the

other kids all stopped and kind of

looked and I remember being horrified

and later on I told her I said mom I

don't want you to speak to me in Chinese

ever again in public and my mother said

"You fool if I don't speak to you in Chinese you

won't learn anything" and she was right so

I I guess my experience has been one

where you know like many children you

want to be like others and yet it's been

enriched with my family background and

it's been one of of hardship and

resistance but also opportunity

and that has kind of carried me through

my whole college career and you know

graduate school take advantage of

scholarships and opportunities that were

available to for people like me and that

was just beginning then. Thank you. I grew up in

Cuba and eventually I also became a

refugee from a communist country but

that was when I was already an adult so

that it was not part of my childhood the

question was who were you, how were you

as a child when you know, I was very

inquisitive asking all sorts of things I

read voraciously, constantly, my father

had been fired by Batista he was in, he

created a little school so I grew up in

two bedrooms in the back of the school

not able to make noise because I

couldn't disturb the school. Money was

very limited so and it was also supposed

to be a secret that we were poor, so that

was you know part of that and I think

the way I dealt with that all those

constrictions was to read and let my

fantasy fly. I mean I was all the

heroines that you could imagine,

particularly I was Joan of Arc, jumping

over chairs and things of that sort

because I wanted to be a saint when I

was a child. I was, I was a pedantic

little child I mean I because I was

always the one who knew all the answers

and had all the questions and that kind

of thing. And I wrote poetry,

my uncle published a book of my poetry,

when I was ten years old and so I had a

big sense of my importance that wasn't

necessarily good but anyway

that's that's that and again reading and

fantasizing, saved me so to speak.

Thank you. My, both sides of my family

have deep roots in the deep south and

moved into the north as part of the

northern migration and black folks

trying to get out of the south and

find jobs, you know find opportunities

for their children that were not going

to be had in the deep south at the time

and I'm always aware that all that they

had to do to not lose their minds and

souls, essentially under American

apartheid, was deeply imprinted on us as

children and in and in the most

positive ways one can imagine. Our school

system had an unusual representation of

black teachers, guidance counselor's, and

people who gave us the sort of undiluted

message of you are smart and capable and

you can do anything and don't let

anybody tell you otherwise.

And that mirrored the message that we

got in our families that family, that was

certainly tempered by the notion that

but there are people who are going to

try to get in your way

they're people who don't think black

people should be successful who don't

think they should be literate and

basically think the worst of us but

that's about them and that's not about

you and you have to manage them but

that's not about you. There was also a

message that you have to be strategic

about choosing your battles you know

that certainly at that time there was

still many limitations placed on

black folks there were many places that

we for the most part where we lived

you know in the North people will not

put out a sign that says they don't want

you there because doing that makes them

something they don't want to be, but

there were certainly places that felt

that way but when we spent time with

family members in the South it was, their

meaning was very clear, and whenever we

had those kinds of encounters I remember

our parents you know sort of clearly

giving us license to keep pissed off

about it but understand you have to

choose when you challenge it and when

you don't around being safe but you

basically want to walk a- walk away to

live to fight another day and that means

sometimes you have to absorb unfairness

but that it's not about you it's about

other people and a problem they have and

they may be able to do whatever they do

because they're more powerful but not

because they're right and that was a

very powerful message to take out into

the world that sometimes, you know, you

can't you don't always get treated

fairly and it's okay you don't you're

not supposed to like it but you can't

always challenge it but it's not about

you. I cheated somewhat when I looked at this

question because I thought well I don't

exactly remember what I was like as a

child other than I also read a lot but I

was in the family of people who were

constantly reading and where there had

been a very probably unusually high

level of literacy among my parents and

grandparents, again for black people

being raised in the south. So one of my

blessings is that I still have aunts who

are in their 90's who have known me all

my life, so I call them and ask them what

I was like as a child,

and they said I was a smart, happy, little

person, who cared about family members

and seemed to have a maturity and an

understanding of things that was beyond

my chronological years. So each of you

have talked about and described how you

experienced marginalization on some

level and were aware of it but it also

from your descriptions, your families

were strong. They gave you a sense of who

you were, that you could be who you were

and that it was your your right to be

who you were and gave you a strong sense

of identity. I'm wondering with those

family histories, how you became

interested in psychology, how did that

become a career path, how did that become

a profession that you wanted to enter.

And you can start Dr. Chan. Okay well

certainly wasn't a chosen path for my

family. I think my parents, you know like

many Asian families, wanted economic

security for their for their families

and their children, and there were only a

few avenues that were considered well

well-trod roots for success, economic

success, for Asians and some of that was

engineering because the math and the

sciences that you had more quantifiable

skills and that if you weren't extremely

verbal you could still get a good job

and you could continue in the job and I

think that it seemed that Asian-

Asian Americans could get jobs in in

the sciences so that was my family's

expectation I was good in science so my

my parents in math, and they wanted you

know me, to become a doctor or at least

go into science. And when I when I went

to college and I didn't expect to go

into psychology whatsoever I took a

I only took psychology because I

had to take the science, that kind of

science, I was going to take math and

found that this I thought that this

psychology was the most fascinating

thing. So for all of you who didn't want

to take the the kind of distribution

courses you're required to in college

they really do open, they're good for you.

And so the the study of psychology that

interested me the most was understanding

human behavior. And you know like many

people, I didn't understand why people

acted the way they did and didn't understand

why there was so much you know hatred

against people who seemed to, to be

innocent and why people behaved

sometimes badly. And so I was interested

in understanding that and the social

psychology aspect is why I got into

psychology. Okay. When I was in, well in in Cuba,

in high school, and in Latin America in

general, you have a course in psychology

in high school and there's no

flexibility to take lots of electives so

you have to and the person who taught

the psychology course when I was 15 was

my favorite teacher

so she had taught history before and

before I wanted to be a historian. Part

of what was interesting about psychology

is that it made me sort of discover

people and it was not the psychology of

rats and pigeons. If it had been rats and

pigeons I would have never gotten into

this but it was at the same time it was

the old type of

faculty psychology, the will, intelligence

emotions, you know everything sort of

compartmentalized but still it felt so

interesting that human beings did these

kinds of things

and that it was possible to study why

people did those things and so. So that

interests me then when I was about 19

years old I started having very serious

panic attacks, it's a long story but, so

there was a woman psychologist who

chaired an organization I was beginning

to join in in the transition to, into

college and she gave me free

psychotherapy for 18 months and it made

a difference I mean eventually panic

attacks disappeared and I have never had

them again, so it sort of convinced me

that there was magic to do with this

thing so I wanted to be able to do that

magic so that that's what got me there,

those two things. Well my passion was

music, but I had no talent so that was-

that was that was easy that wasn't

going to work and I was interested in

medicine and I went to college as a

psychology pre-med major and a history

minor and the psychology at the time was

rats and pigeon psychology but I also knew

about this other psychology with Freud

and the unconscious and abnormal that

was really compelling and it was much

more compelling than the courses I was

taking that were pre-med,

so that was kind of a no-brainer but

at some point I think I also had an

awareness of my own gifts I think that

while doing therapy is compelling you

also have to think about temperament and

you know when you're listening to people

talk about really disturbing things that

most people don't want to be listening

to, I didn't have the language for it

then but I had some kind of an awareness

that I could do that and be present but

not feel like it was happening to me. And

that people would sort of talk to me

about things they weren't talking to

other people about and that spoke

to a capacity to do something with

people that I also enjoyed and that my

own experience in therapy in college was

that you know this is something that can

help people to heal, you know, that where

where does someone find, you know, that

for 50 minutes or an hour you have

somebody else's captive attention, you

know, but that really is a kind of a gift.

And I, I think I also had an awareness of

ways that marginalized people really

need places where they can talk about

that when it's a reality for them that's

always denied that, that part of being

marginalized is having sort of

crazy-making experiences where you're

experiencing things that are real and

people are telling you that didn't

happen, you know, that doesn't happen,

people aren't like that, and then therapy

could be an important place where people

get those experiences validated and that

they get support for them so that that's

what led me to

eventually the doctoral route.

Okay.

So each of you has had some experience

in your early years of the magic of

psychology and it's healing capacities

that there's a place for people to talk

about feelings and issues where they can

get validated and trying to understand

what makes people behave in the way that

they behave when they don't do very good

things at times but trying to understand

those dynamics and so going from that

place to where it seems that you have

arrived in your scholarship relative to

social justice and talking about

marginalized communities and the racial

and ethnic pieces of those communities

can you say a little bit about how that

transition progressed for you. It was a, I

think a natural, it just seemed a natural

outgrowth of social justice work that

you know if you think about what goes on

in psychotherapy when it really works

it's quite subversive because you're

telling people the truth and they get to

know the truth and they get to figure

out how to act on their truth in ways

that subvert the status quo when often

you can't do it directly sometimes you

can but sometimes you can't but it it's

you're using that process to give

people agency you know that, that is part

of what social justice is about you know

that you're you are as good and as

deserving as anybody else and don't let

anybody tell you otherwise. I think for

me it, yes, I could say ditto to all that,

also because I had left my country and

actually I lived at 20 between 22 and 23

I lived in several countries and I slept

in eight different beds in one year

because I did not have

a firm plan, and it's not bad in that other sense, really to go to sleep.

So I knew there was

something different in in people in Cuba,

in Spain, in Costa Rica, in Panama, in in

the States.

I mean it, it was very clear that there

were different things making people

tick and when you went to psychology we

are all human beings and this is what

happens and this is the human

development and this is this and this is

that and I knew that it wasn't that

because I had seen it and so in fact my

practice was always with mostly with

women immigrants women of color so, so I

knew there was something different there

and I knew my own experience that it was

not true that everything happened

following a certain line so that part of

wanting to validate experiences that are

normally not validated, also realizing

that what's happening inside people has

a lot to do with what's happening

outside people for good and for bad. And

so, you know, to know that my practice and

my teaching were an instrument in sort

of letting people see that they were not

crazy, that the situation's were crazy

but they were not crazy so and then you

you do it in the practice you do it in

the teaching teaching what other people

have written and and then you start

saying I have to say something about

this because I'm finding out things that

I don't see written anywhere so you know

that story if you want to read a good

book write it or something like. Okay, so,

if I'm not finding this

anywhere, if this is nowhere, and it's

what I'm seeing in, in practicing and

teaching I need to put this out

somewhere so I started writing about

immigrant women about Latina lesbians

about you know social justice and therapy

about you know things like that and then

a number of particularly young Latinos

but you know in in general, general young

students saying what you wrote in 1984

made me think blah blah blah and okay so

let's keep writing about those kinds of

things because it's making a difference

even in people I'm not touching directly

with my practice and my teaching. Wow I

resonate with all these very much. I

think that when I was in graduate school

and we were learning about some of the

things you were talking about in terms

of human development, adolescent

development, family theories, and such. I

remember sitting and thinking this

doesn't fit with my own experience and I,

just you know Asian cultures are not

like this and I thought it's not

universal. You know the whole separation

and all you know, and and becoming

independent I said Asian families they,

they don't subscribe to that they don't

think you should be independent

necessarily. Always part of the family, a

family should come first not not your

independence and so it made me question

a lot of the stuff I was learning as a

PhD student I said you know they're not

really taking into account

culture and and different experiences

and this is maybe you know and that time

they didn't even think that much about

gender but they certainly didn't take

into account gender differences either.

so although I questioned it a lot you

know, you graduate you get your PhD

and then you start going into you know

and it really was I was working in a

clinical job but it was really because I

got onto a tenure-track position where I

had to publish and I was kind of casting

about for an area of research to you

know to sink my teeth in and I had done

you know dissertation on sports

psychology because I was also a marathon

runner and people say oh you know you

should do that because it's safer

there's a big body of literature in

sports psychology it's a growing field

it's a new division

you should definitely focus on sports

psychology and I remember thinking you

know I am interested in and I still am

but I thought there's all this other

stuff that no one's writing about and

and and you know I saw some clients and

I it was then during the the AIDS

epidemic so I worked I was doing some

clinical work with gay men and a lot of

the stuff they told me resonated with

with the understanding about

developmental theory and about identity

and it didn't fit into what the

universal mainstream had taught and I

said no I you know I really going to

have to no one you're right no one else

was writing about each of those kids or

about black and Latino lesbians and

about gay men and their different

experiences if they were not non-white

so I think we felt kind of forced into

it in a way the good part was it because

there hadn't been that much published we

you know we were the the foundation so

you know things that we published were

were published and read the bad thing

was that you know people said you know

it's not going to get you tenure and

it's not going to be cited you know how

they look at how many citations but your

article gets and they said your sports

psychology articles have more citations

by far and I said yes but I think my you

know my sexuality organization and

culture articles are actually more

meaningful and we're groundbreaking and

I had to make that case you know in a

tenure kind of review so you have to

fight for it though it didn't come easy

there certainly were I certainly had

people in my department and other

mentors who said don't go there that's

not the established field and you know

it's

it's not a growing field they were wrong

about that it is a growing field and

that that was the experience I

anticipated

yeah and so academia was the anti plan

and I'm never ever ever going to have

anything to do with an academic career

or writing or you know you finish your

dissertation and that's it yeah you know

stick a fork in me I'm done of that

forever and I don't know to what extent

you know do this now and have a

successful academic career because

there's so much pressure to generate

grants and your own funding but I spent

ten years in public mental health before

sort of wearily looking at academic jobs

and then being somewhat pushed to do so

but I just saw academia as this

potentially hostile climate that wasn't

gonna be interested in any of that and

was sort of like do I want to have to go

someplace and have to fight with people

to do it but thanks to you've not asked

about mentoring yet but I think that's

what I was going to go to but the

mentoring I had a number of people who

chose me to mentor and it was another

one of the ways that I was blessed

because I didn't expect anybody to want

to mentor the kinds of things that I

wanted to do Laura Brown Adrian Smith

Ellen Cole who was then I think the

co-editor of the Journal women and

therapy sort of started Hawking me about

writing stuff and

was like nope not not interested what

would I know about that anyway you know

that kind of response and I had a

supervisor in Kings County Hospital who

you know and again I think for for young

people who are thinking about their

careers mentors can come to you in a

variety of different ways that you don't

necessarily expect and don't look like

what you expect you know this was a

person who was not an academic who did

not write and publish who was the

director of child psychiatry and she

wanted as part of our training programs

to develop some kind of didactic courses

talking to who were then primarily white

clinicians treating predominantly black

and Latino children and decided I should

do it

and I decided no I'm not going to do

this you know sort of anticipating the

kind of resistance and all of the things

that you get when you're teaching those

kinds of courses and and sort of not

wanting to do all this extra work for

not extra money you know that's the

other feature of public mental health is

they want you to do research and a lot

of things that but you are supposed to

sort of squeeze it in to everything else

that you have to do and she basically

wouldn't leave me alone and at some

point invoked her authority as the

director of the training program to say

you know you're you know one of our

staff you've got to teach a seminar this

is it you know you're gonna have to do

this and kicking and screaming I sort of

proceeded to do that and of course to

develop lectures and the like you know

it takes a lot of time and she gave me

the time to do it she gave me the

release time during the course of the

week to use the medical library to go

and put together things so it wasn't

like she was just saying go do this now

you know

you figure out how but she gave me the

support to do it and of course I'm

thinking this is a lot of work how am I

going to get as much bang for the buck

as possible so I started writing

lectures as potential papers and those

lectures became apparent primarily the

early papers that I published and much

to my chagrin realizing well this is I

can do this and I kind of enjoy doing

this and you know people seem to want to

hear about this and you know once once

you begin to do it then you're under

more pressure to do it and at some point

I was just doing so much that I could no

longer sustain it in a full-time job

that didn't give me the kind of sort of

flexibility and blocks of time that you

get in academia to write because you

really need blocks of time and that's

that's what it gives you but I would

have been just as happy to remain in

public mental health and I not been

pushed to do that we're glad that you

had a mentor to push you otherwise we

would not have had the fortune there may

be many of your work I'm glad to but I

don't I think often people think when

you see the outcome oh there was this

careful plan that you had to do this and

you know it wasn't that way at all for

left up to me I I might not be you how

about the mentors for you and I know

that you said that you saw gaps that the

experience that your experiences

personally did not match what you were

reading or what you're being taught at

the time and in as much as you had your

own self motivation and the initiative

to do that were there mentors that that

helped push you or support you and them

in that way I didn't have any mentors in

my doctoral program oh my I'm older than

both of them I'm gonna be 80 in December

okay so in my doctoral program all

professors were white males and there

was one of them I said it when we were

having lunch

who said that women were less

intelligent than men because they had

smaller brains and bigger tongues and so

luckily I had one who in his own way was

was good enough to do let me sort of do

some things on women and Cheerilee

dissertation in which I was writing

about women in Latin America that kind

of thing but for the most part no and I

started my career I had no idea what I

was doing

nobody told me don't publish that nobody

I didn't have anybody to tell me that

that was a bad idea

so which in hindsight I'm very glad but

at the beginning it was very hard to get

tenure because I was writing about all

these things in fact in a university

that should remain unnamed I did not get

tenure because I was told you published

very creative things but in very

unimportant journals which of course the

only important journals were the only

ones who would take what I was writing

so that you know that was that was what

what was going on so I sort of fumbled

the first course I talk I'm at least

it's not quite mentors but I taught the

first course ever in that university in

that program about cultural issues in

counseling because it was counseling and

one of my colleagues when I was talking

about doing the course number one a

number of them said that this was

political this was not psychology okay

one and one of them said Oliva we all

have our pet issues and there are more

important things than that like this in

a faculty meeting

and the Dean of the school which I have

to say was a black man call me into his

office to say that I was teaching things

that were not what I was supposed to be

teaching and I was inventing courses

that were unnecessary still and the

students in the counseling program did

not take my courses it was the teachers

of English as a Second Language who

filled the course so it was always full

but not from the ceilings in my

counseling program because they did not

need this and so that's why we were

talking this morning how things change

yes things have changed because that

would not happen now at least mostly

they have to bake the course now so

anyway I didn't actually have any

mentors either I had you know people who

were supportive faculty of supportive of

me when I was in college and then in

graduate school but only in that

mainstream area and when I started

looking at cultural issues and

asian-american sexuality and and women

people my you know my former mentor

teachers would say you know that's great

but I don't know anything about that so

I was kind of left on my own but I will

say that the division 44 which was then

known as the Society for the

psychological study of lesbian

issues and then became the what does

that want a new name now it's like

sexual orientation and gender and gender

neighbors yes so division 44 which was a

new division in the nineteen late 1980s

and I remember going to a talk by every

hooker psychologists you know who did

the groundbreaking study on homosexual

men and and the Rorschach and the

normality of what they call it at that

time homosexual men led to the removal

of homosexuality as a classification for

pathology I remember going to her talk

meeting people from Division 44 and many

of the leaders of Division 44 who were

the pioneers them were supportive and

and helped him into me people like you

know the Kimmel as to Roth bloom and

live the Garnett's and you know Laura

Brown and and people like that it

definitely certainly was one of the

early pioneers to in Division 44 so the

you remember that you made me run for

president I called her up and I said you

must run okay and we were all each of us

has been president of to visit of 44 but

there were a number of Chris Hancock a

number of but particularly gay men who

were very instrumental and beginning the

division and who helped gave me advice

in terms of publication and help to

write for my tendon tenure case since

we're supportive of my work and saying

that it had a place in LGBTQ psychology

so I would say you know pretty much all

the division 44 has been mentors to me

okay

okay that gets into perhaps another area

of mentorship which is you each of you

will at least you two talked about being

voracious readers and certainly your

work is in our literature and you have

served and you served as a mentor to me

at that time I didn't know any of you

and I'm very glad to know you all now

but that was one way that I felt

mentored was by reading your work in

terms of the young scholars now ECP's at

this point how would you just describe

them getting mentors and being mentored

at this point I know you talked about

division 44 for sure but they may be in

environments where there's not one

person there or any person that's there

to support their work and yet they need

to get tenured so how would you advise

or encourage mentorship at this point on

how you even mentor well it's I think

it's harder now you know again because

there because it's all about money and

the pressure is will this get you a

grant will this bring money into the

department or the university above all I

it s-- important to have someplace that

they can get validation and you can't

always get that in your department we

were your program you you shouldn't feel

that if it's not there but that's the

only place it can be but there has to be

either peer groups in professional

organizations I mean that's where I

first you know sort of made connections

with people because people in my

department that wasn't an interest in

graduate school we tried to have those

discussions even though at the Derner

Institute there were always five black

and Latino students in every class

cohort which was very unusual so there

was always a critical mass of us but

still those discussions didn't go very

far but because there was a division 44

and other places

around we were able to meet other

people and have those kinds of

discussions division 45 as well. There

also can be informal now because of

technology you can connect with people

literally all over the world so you're

not limited to just connecting with

people who are in the physical space

that you're in. You know again my

academic experience was somewhat unusual

because I I wrote papers before I was in

academia so I didn't care really what

the department or someone was going to

say because where I was just publishing

was such a plus you know they didn't

care what you wrote. A journal. Yes so

they were happy about that. When I

decided to move towards academic jobs I

was clear about my resume saying exactly

what I did, because I thought I'm not at

the stage in my career going

someplace where I have to pretend I'm

something I'm not or I'm not interested

in things that I'm interested in because

I won't get tenure either and I don't

want to be someplace that's not going to

count those things so to the extent that

you can you know you need a job but you

can't work in a place where you just

can't be supported and it makes you feel

crazy to want to go to work every day.

If you're not, if you can't get tenure in

a place because they're not going to

value your work you need to rethink do

you... Why do you want to have tenure there?

Yeah, do you really want to be in

that place because it's, it will

just be hell for you. Your thoughts?

I think that part of the internet giving

access to they're a number of sites now that

store papers that you want to have

stored and every so often I get a little

note saying so-and-so in Australia read

you're such a loose paper you know okay.

I wouldn't have reached that person and

that person wouldn't have had access to

me were it not for these things so in

that sense young people have access to

things that we didn't have. Right. So, so

that's you know that's something that is

good and you know I I suppose you do too

every so often I get an email from

somebody I'm writing a paper and I want

to know and can I ask you a question and

you know okay so ask me a question of

course you know particularly now that

I'm retired I have a little bit more

time you can ask me the question we can

talk about this or we can communicate or

I can point you to some things to read,

mine or from others who may be in the

line of what you're looking for. So this

possibility for communicating that we

have now I think it's something that

helps in mentoring young people in

different places. I always think it's a

delight when somebody said they read a

paper that I wrote I always wonder if anyone ever reads it you know? I read something you

wrote and they ask you about it, you

sau you read that? That's great so you

know I always tell my students you know

that doesn't matter if they're not in

academia,

that they should publish at least one

article even if they're under when

they're undergraduates because I say if

you publish an article on something

that's really important to you whether

it's you know your master's thesis or a

paper you did your senior year or your

dissertation then at least you've made a

statement and you're gonna always live

through that article you can have a

dialogue with other people about that

and even if it's a really obscure thing

there will be someone who you will reach and

and so I I tell everyone they should

publish at least one article and it and

put there their mark and their voice

out there. As far as mentors go I you

know I didn't have a mentor and I'm

surprised actually to hear Oliva say

she didn't either because I kind of you

know you kind of assume that successful

people have great mentors but I didn't

but I would you know I would have liked

to have one and I would recommend if

people can find a mentor and people are

more intentioned about that now, people

can that it doesn't have to be sort of

like finding your you know your partner

or your life mate doesn't have to be one

person for the rest of your career or

the rest of your life. Sometimes it be

someone for five years or three years or

right during your graduated career or

right when you're you know an ECP and

your early career or later on when

you're trying to go from associate

professor to full professor you need a

different kind of mentor but actually

you got you can seek people out and you

can ask them for if you ask them for

specific things they can help you right

but if you expect you know it's sort of

like it not gonna for me I never had one

person who carried me through more than

like a couple, two, three, four, years you

know friends and and supportive people

yes but no one who you know was a mentor

and I think that some people have that

and I admire that

and I you know if you have a chance to

get that that's great but if not then

you can have serial mentors.

Right exactly

exactly. I want to shift the attention a

little bit to you've certainly talked

about some of the challenges you've had

the mentorship you may have had may not

have had maybe maybe it's been a little

spurious. What do you, can you describe a

little bit about what you've done for

self care throughout the years? It's,

you've done a lot of scholarship, they've

done a lot of publishing, therapeutic

work, what do you do for self care? Goof

off *Laugh* you know I one of the lessons

that I took from family members who you

know I remember growing up hearing like

stereotypes of black people were lazy

and it's sort of like everybody black I

know has at least two jobs what you know

what did what

what's lazy who really worked very very

hard all their lives but always made

time to play. Elders in our family always

made time for the children in our

family who were welcomed and not

silenced. Who they had parties, they, they

did things that the the the message was

it's important to have a life you know

you can't, you don't survive just on

your work and that the balance can be

tricky but it's important

someone once said well you know I

schedule in fun, because if I don't put

it in the calendar, I won't do it so you

know having having time to spend with

friends, having time to spend with your

family and in my family having children

in the family to watch them grow up and

be a part of that. Was, was just important

to me so having the time

and making the time to do that helped to

save me. I travel a lot, sometimes

combined with work, sometimes just travel.

And it's very nourishing, I read a lot of

novels, things that have nothing to do

with anything that has to do with work.

So novels and, and about our friends, you

know, friendship the time for, for

being with people and, and different

friends do different things, some are

good when you're suffering, and some are

good when you're having fun, and some are

good when you need advice about how to

invest your money. So you know it's like

different kinds of roles that friends

play but having friends and and being

connected to other human beings it's

what I find most nourishing. Thank you.

Well I spent a lot of time teaching and

sometimes doing clinical work and I

needed time to disconnect from other

human beings. So my my passion was was

running and I ran marathons for over 30

years and I ran 33 marathons and I ran

the Boston Marathon many

times and that was just having a a

pursuit that was you know separate from

from my career and my my sort of intense

life and my advice would be for people

that you don't put your self-worth or, and

I know this is true for everyone on this

stage, you don't put your self-worth all

into you know your job or your career or

wherever because there are many

frustrating days at work, many, and there

are many promotions you don't get, there

many things for which you are not chosen,

and many things that are not

validating about your job,

but if there are other things that

validate you and give you great pleasure

and give you sense of accomplishment

that's what you should pursue as well so

I literally spent a lot of time running

and training and running marathons and

racing and enjoying a whole different

set of friends and a whole different

life and traveling to do it so find

that passion and pursue it and feel you

know I was never good enough to really

succeed at it but I you know I

participated and I got my own success

from finishing every time I finished the

race. Yeah that's one of the things I

also share with my students as well in

graduate school you can get very caught

up in five year, six-year track and

school is the only thing that you're

thinking about and they forget all the

rest of their life but it's just the

beginning so knowing how to do that is

an important skill and some schools

foster that idea that that is true that

supposed to be the only thing that's

important in their life. Yeah and

sometimes you have to let them think

that you believe that but then, do

something else. So each of you has

your career has spanned a number of

years in psychology and I'm wondering

what you think about the state of our

field at this point? It's better than it

was but not as good as it could be. Okay

okay. That's true I mean it's a lot

better, it's a lot better, when you

couldn't even have these kinds of

discussions with, right exactly, being

told how you were over id- if you wanted

to discuss the issue of race with a

patient you were over identifying with

the patient or something ridiculous. When

you know the idea that this is your

little pet thing, yeah, but has no

relevance anywhere else. Yeah you know it's where

at they're actually courses in curricula

now where programs are required to have

courses but it still isn't integrated

into the mainstream of psychology if you

look at the non womens course flat

course gay lesbian course it it's, you

know if you look at a developmental

psychology course you're not really

looking at human development you're

looking at the development of a narrow

slice of people both in terms of

ethnicity, culture, sexual orientation,

class and all sorts of things and as you

talked about the outside world has an

effect on the inner world of people and

who they become and ignoring that for

such a wide range of people still it's

still a challenge in psychology it

doesn't... Doesn't end yet. It no

and Dr. Chan we'll end with your last comments. I see that you

know there is the pressure like and i

see it across psychology departments, the

pressure to get get grants, and to get to

do quantitative research and then

there's also many of the psychology

departments are focused on brain

sciences and on neuro-psychology

which is a great and you know burgeoning

field but you know it doesn't, I don't

want it to take over psychology and I, we

see it more and more in academic

departments so there's that, but there's

also there's also the the excitement of

the role that psychology has to play I

think in society and I think that you

know APA has been doing an excellent job

and you know can do more in advancing

the role that psychology plays in

reducing violence, in bringing to light

the issues of you know racism and and

sexism and you know all the isms that,

class issues, disability issues, that we

deal with and that we, I think I'd like

to see you know psychology quoted more

and more every time there's something that

happens in the news that you know, I love

it when I see more and more

psychologists and I have definitely see

psychologists quoted in the media and

you know making comments and talking

about the phenomenon of gun violence and

how we can how we as psychology can can

play a major role in combating that, but

I don't think we do enough, I still don't know

how we can have a much greater outreach

in policy and in shaping you know laws

and legislation than we

do already. So I'd like to see psychology

advance more and more in that area you know

in that public sphere. And I think, thank

you for that and given that you three

have served as excellent models for- role

models for many of us I certainly see

that that kind of work hopefully will

continue to grow and I want to thank

you all for being here today and for us

being able to honor you so if we could

give it an applause

The Implantable Artificial Kidney and How It Will Change Kidney Transplant - Duration: 5:29.

Great news is shaking the world of kidney transplants.

The implantable bioartificial kidney is almost ready for human trials.

Will this be a life saver for many?

Hello, this is Katherine.

Welcome to 00Kidney - don't forget to like and subscribe and turn on notifications from

this channel to stay updated!

The Artificial Implantable Kidney Team is actually testing this life-enhancing device

on animals, but will soon start the Human Trials.

The kidney main job is to remove toxins and wastes from our body.

When it fails, we encounter a condition called end stage renal disease.

The only options for a patient suffering from this condition are a transplant or a life

on dialysis.

Like many patients already know, to obtain a kidney transplant is always more difficult.

There's a massive shortage of kidney donors compared to an increasing number of patients

on the transplant list.

Statistics say that in 2016 4000 patients died waiting for a transplant, and for every

person who got a new kidney, 5 didn't.

And, while you're on the transplant list, there's only a solution: dialysis.

Dialysis can replace the work of the kidney to a certain amount.

It is far from perfect.

It can easily clean the blood from toxins and waste products, but it also remove a lot

of useful substances like amino acids, salts and sugars.

In short, it is not that easy to replicate the precision of the human kidney.

Dialysis is also something that really affects your lifestyle, at the point that some patients

don't even have enough energy to keep their job.

And the cost for tests, doctor visits and medications is always increasing.

This is why The Kidney Project, from the University of California, has gained a lot of popularity.

Its goal is to create a totally working, implantable, artificial kidney that would effectively replace

the human kidney.

This poses a lot of challenges.

The artificial kidney should be able to work without any external power sources, require

just a minimally invasive surgery to be installed and should work for an indefinite amount of

time.

Also, it should be able to cleanse the blood efficiently without getting rid of the good

stuff.

What has prevented this from working is one single problem: clotting.

Researchers are constantly trying to find a way for the blood to move through the device

without clotting.

When blood platelets respond to mechanical forces, they tend to clot.

This would not just incapacitate the bioartificial kidney, but could also cause serious problems

to the body.

If the clot travels, for example, to the brain it may cause a stroke.

When is the artificial kidney going to be tested on humans?

The Kidney Project team is still trying to raise the money needed to finish building

it.

During 2019, the main objective of the team will be to test the single modules that compose

the artificial kidney.

The kidney project is receiving substantial donations from patients and individuals that

want to support their job, in addition to a 6$ million government grants.

But, their main challenges may still be unknown, since the device is yet to be seen operating

in its real environment.

Some of the problems will in fact be clear only during the human trials.

The working prototype of the artificial implantable kidney will be tested on humans in 2020.
