IMPLOSION

IMPLOSION graphic

IMPLOSION is hosted by Nick Saloman, front person of The Bevis Frond. Born and raised in London, England, Nick started buying records as a small child in the late 1950s and began going to gigs and playing in bands as a teen in the late 60s. IMPLOSION is simply an hour of Nick playing the music that he loves (psychedelia, rock, folk, beat, jazz, soul, punk, and more), with a bit of chat thrown in for good measure. Nick says: "If I like it, then there have got to be a few other people who will too.

28. Pharmacists preventing medication mix‑ups from Melbourne

Fri, 02/27/2026 - 5:30pm | Dr. Shaikh

Mapping Healthcare Ep 28.png

Transitions of care from hospital to home are some of the riskiest moments in a person’s healthcare journey. Medication lists change, high‑risk medications require careful monitoring, and patients often deal with overwhelming amounts of instructions. Linda Graudins tells us how pharmacists help people on complex medication regimens navigate these challenges safely. We’ll look at a process called medication reconciliation which is a bit like medication detective work and helps pharmacists keep those potentially dangerous transitions from home to hospital and back to your home, smooth and safe.

Hello Davis!, Feb. 25, 2026: The legal and moral aspects of facial recognition

Thu, 02/26/2026 - 11:03am | Pieter Pastoor

Nick Buxton.jpeg

Today's subject is facial recognition, a biometric AI technology that maps facial features from photos or video to verify or identify individuals by comparing them against a database. It operates in three main steps: capturing an image, measuring landmarks (like distance between eyes) to create a digital signature, and comparing it to stored.

The question is, should the public be aware and approve of our facial recognition being used for any number of activities?

Nick Buxton is interviewed by David Abramson. Nick is the communications manager for the Transnational Institute. He is the founding editor of its yearly State of Power Report, which looks at global power dynamics on key issues such as finance, digitalization, corporations, and more. He is also a Davis resident, husband, and father.
