Kirsten: It’s really sad and it’s just, just, you think that we’ve come so far, but it’s still – it’s really interesting to think that this election, people are calling it, “historic” because we have on the democratic ticket so far we’re up for either an African-American candidate or a woman as a candidate.
And everyone is saying, “oh this is, historic!” and it’s kind of sad. It’s just like “oh gee, here we are in the 21st century and it’s historic.” [laughs]
Justin: My friend’s daughter, she got into collecting coins with different presidents on them. She got really into that and then she was going through the collection then she was asking, “where is the… where is the girls?”
Kirsten: Yes where are they? Oh, in other countries. [Laughs]
Justin: [Laughs]
Kirsten: Other countries are ahead of us…
Justin: Right.
Kirsten: Also on that front. We have to take a break. Stay with us please for a few moments, we will come back for This Week in Science.

Call Center:Team Leader Handbook Workshop
Futuregen attended another FANTASTIC seminar facilitated by Ian Northmore. Key takeaways from this CCAS organized seminar was :
- The introduction of additional team leader metrics like Number of One on One meetings, Number of weekly briefings, and the % of absences in the team.
- The use of Back to Work interviews before MC team members can get back to work.
- The need for immediate feedback to be given by Team leaders to the team members.
- The need to review recorded calls made by team members as a way to not only gauge team member performance, but to also allow the team leader to ‘touch base’ with callers.
- The use of G.R.O.W. to conduct one on one meetings between the team leaders and their team members.
Here is our post on an earlier seminar by Ian Northmore.

Justin: Disclaimer! Disclaimer! Disclaimer! Disclaimer! The following hour of programming deals with science and claims to be harmless but may in fact cause you irreparable harm.
In laboratory conditions, direct exposure to science has resulted in a multitude of co-relatable adverse effects – mostly on mice. In case you are damaged by this in some way, the University of California Davis KDVS and its sponsors would like you to know that they are in no way responsible for the content of the show and refuse to acknowledge any bit of its most passing awareness of its existence.
Furthermore, the host of the show are not to be trusted. If you meet one of them in person, run the other way! They might not be dangerous but why risk it? Not that you should live your life in a protective bubble, but you never know what might happen when you listen to This Week In Science. Coming up next.
