THE GUEST

Professor Sherman Young is Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Education) and Vice-President at RMIT University, where he steers the entire student journey from enrolment to graduation for more than 91K students. A multimedia entrepreneur, turned scholar and now higher education change agent, Sherman has spent the past two decades in universities, exploring how technology reshapes culture. Sherman is a sought-after voice on AI’s impact on universities, for example, delivering keynotes at Adobe’s EduMAX conference and the ATN National Symposium on GenAI Graduate Skills and Employability, where he challenged educators to embed AI fluency into every program. Last year, when many institutions were debating whether to ban AI or not, RMIT instead embraced it. Sherman's guiding belief is clear: “AI will be an integral part of our future life and work—so we must teach students to use it critically and responsibly”. From re-imagining assessment to championing open, industry-linked learning models, Sherman Young is proving that higher education can be as agile and inventive as the technologies transforming it.

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
