"It is a scientific fact that these macaques, like all other primates, including humans, are communicating. They communicate in much the same way we do - facial expressions, vocalizations, body postures, those kinds of things." - Jeff Kerr Jeff Kerr is PETA foundations Chief Legal Officer. I asked him to come on the show to talk about one of PETA’s current lawsuits against the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Nathional Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). PETA is arguing that the monkeys being tested on in a government run facility are capable of communication (or “are communicating”). And that we have a constitutional right under the First Amendment to receive their communications. This could be a game changer in allowing us to see what’s really going on in labs that are funded by taxpayer money, and which have so far been censored from public view. PETA’s lawsuit follows years of NIH’s attempts to deny Freedom of Information requests banning PETA executives from its campus and illegally censoring animal advocates’ speech on NIH’s public social media pages. Through the lawsuit, PETA is seeking a live audio-visual feed to see and hear real-time communications from the macaques who have been kept isolated, used in fear experiments, and had posts cemented into their heads. Anthropologists and other scientists have studied macaque and other primate communications for decades and know that the monkeys communicate effectively and intentionally through lip smacking, fear grimaces, body language, and various cries and sounds—all of which constitute speech under the law. Primatologists can analyze that speech on a deeper level to share their stories with the world.…

Summary

This conversation delves into the critical role of enabling works in construction, emphasizing their importance in preparing a site for building. It covers various aspects such as safety, environmental considerations, client needs, and regulatory requirements, illustrating how these preliminary tasks set the foundation for successful construction projects.

Takeaways

Enabling works are essential for site preparation before construction begins.
They encompass a wide range of activities, including demolition, site clearance, and safety management.
Proper planning and execution of enabling works can significantly impact project timelines and budgets.
Environmental assessments and compliance with regulations are crucial during enabling works.
Client considerations, such as sustainability and accessibility, should be addressed early in the process.
Enabling works require collaboration between contractors and clients to ensure all needs are met.
The complexity of enabling works reflects the scale of modern construction projects.
Rushing enabling works can lead to significant issues later in the construction process.
Understanding the regulatory framework is vital for successful enabling works.
Enabling works set the stage for the entire construction project, impacting its overall success.
