Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Dr. Andrea Behrman: Never Underestimate the Spinal Cord
Q: Where's the research going to take us? Where's the science going?
Behrman describes non-invasive spinal stimulation research in children and a future focus on holistic outcomes, including bowel and bladder function, breathing, and other bodily systems. She also hopes to expand specialized neurorecovery centers through an international network.
Dr. Andrea Behrman: Never Underestimate the Spinal Cord
Q: Was there a moment or a mentor where you decided this might be where to spend your career?
Behrman recalls noticing signs of potential in people with paralysis that did not fit clinical expectations, then finding research on discomplete spinal cord injury. A lecture describing rehabilitation as an agent for recovery and a young child's first steps after therapy ultimately moved her toward pediatric research and care.
Foundations + Futures: 2020s with Ben Simmons and Veena Reddy
Q: What is the biggest difference between practice 50 years ago and today?
The group agreed that technology has transformed how they collaborate, share information, and manage projects, enabling faster decision-making and more integrated design processes.
Foundations + Futures: 1980s with Wes Harrison
Q: So tell me, in the early days, young firms have a hustle and a vibe to them. What was that like at Schmidt?
There was lots of energy and enthusiasm; very little experience but a strong willingness to invent and reinvent, using hand-drawn work and face-to-face collaboration to shape projects and build a strong culture.
Foundations + Futures: The 1970s with Dean Illingworth
Q: Is the story about one chair and two employees true?
Yes, the story is true; the firm started small but with a clear focus on people, culture, and community.
