This is a recorded session from the 2024 AAM Annual Meeting & MuseumExpo. Financial sustainability has long and rightfully been among the primary strategic goals of museums and their staff and Boards – but what if the drive for financial sustainability could also be preventing individual, organizational, or community healing, trapping us in ways that exhaust our resources without achieving intended impacts? What if we were to broaden our definition of financial health beyond our own museum’s budgets, embracing our finances as a connective tissue that drives social change across sectors and communities rather than scarce resources to be “balanced”?…

One of the most polarizing James Bond films of all time is undoubtedly 2002’s Die Another Day. I’m not above criticizing the film myself, but at the same time, I understand that part of its appeal is sparking a major re-evaluation of Pierce Brosnan’s final 007 film – especially after speaking with the film’s director, Lee Tamahori, and hearing him defend one of its most controversial gadgets: the Aston Martin V12 Vanquish.To be honest, I’ve never had anything against the infamous invisible car, aka “Vanish.” But when I had the chance to speak with Lee Tamahori about his latest film,…

Recent reports have highlighted a high number of police shootings of people armed with knives or other bladed objects. These incidents, which often involve individuals in crisis situations, demonstrate two fatal problems: there are limits to what “de-escalation” can accomplish, and police officers are too hesitant to use non-lethal force, allowing standoffs to get out of control.In recent years, officers across the country have become increasingly hesitant to use legitimate force to end standoffs when verbal attempts don’t get suspects to surrender. This reluctance to use nonlethal force even in situations where it’s clearly necessary often leads to police shootings,…

The Tour de France is in full swing, with the time trial stages starting a few days ago. This is an interesting opportunity to check out what kind of sports technology the riders are using: bike computers, trainers, washing machines, electric fans (the kind that spin, not loud ones), etc. In the video above, we walk you through the entire team/technical zone (known as the paddock) and explain how it all works – from the warm-up routine/schedule to each step from warm-up to the start gate (including UCI checks, extra warm-up trainers at the start gate, etc.) And of course…

A recent report suggests that regular savings may contribute to sleep quality and overall health. Researchers at the University of Bristol say that setting aside a set amount each month, even if it’s a small amount, can make people feel more relaxed and optimistic about the future. The study found that low-income people who save regularly experience the same level of life satisfaction as high-income people who don’t, reported the BBC. The survey found that a quarter of British adults have less than £100 in savings, reflecting the difficulty of saving due to rising living costs, despite improved interest rates…
