Are you running on fumes and calling it productivity? In this episode of The Professor is Live!, Mark Salisbury and producer Rikko tackle one of the simplest ways to boost brainpower, optimism, and overall health — getting enough sleep. Neuroscientist Dr. Roxanne Prichard joins the conversation to reveal what your brain is really doing while you snooze, why modern life is sabotaging our rest, and how better sleep can help us think clearer, feel happier, and live healthier.

In this episode, Mark and producer Rikko are joined by Dr. Joel Schuessler, Associate Professor of Computer Science at Concordia University St. Paul (CSP), to tackle the big career question shaking up tech: can you still make a living coding when AI now writes roughly 25% of U.S. code at companies like Microsoft and Alphabet? A new Pew Research Center survey shows nearly half of Americans think software engineering will be among the jobs most disrupted by AI — even more than teaching or journalism. Tune in for a candid, lively conversation about what these trends mean for students, developers, and the future of coding itself.
