   Metrology Today Podcast S5E2: Jack Somppi

   Thermal EMF can remain almost invisible during ordinary electrical measurements—and then become a significant error as the required resolution and uncertainty improve. Ryan Egbert and Henry Zambrano are joined by longtime electrical calibration expert Jack Somppi to explain how dissimilar metals, temperature gradients, worn connections, stabilization, and measurement technique can affect low-level voltage and resistance results. The conversation covers connector selection and condition, ohmic versus thermal effects, two-wire and four-wire resistance, environmental stability, reversal techniques, and why technicians should watch a measurement’s behavior instead of recording the first apparently acceptable indication.

   Metrology Today Podcast Season 5 Launch - Stephen Puryear

   Season 5, Episode 1: AI, Metrology, and the Limits of Automation Metrology Today returns for Season 5 with guest Stephen Puryear joining Ryan and Henry for a practical discussion about artificial intelligence and its growing role in metrology, calibration, technical education, and laboratory operations. The conversation examines both the value and the risks of AI. The group discusses inaccurate AI-generated metrology content, the importance of subject-matter expertise, and why technical professionals must verify anything produced by an AI system before using it for training, decision-making, procedures, or published material. They also explore useful applications of AI, including uncertainty-budget development, spreadsheet review, document standardization, procedure analysis, technical writing, image generation, data trending, and equipment troubleshooting. The discussion expands into the need for formal AI-use policies, validation of AI-assisted measurement systems, protection of sensitive information, and appropriate management oversight before new tools are implemented. The central message is straightforward: AI can be an exceptionally powerful companion tool, but it does not replace technical knowledge, professional judgment, or accountability. Topics include: AI-generated misinformation in metrology Using AI to support uncertainty analysis and spreadsheets The difference between assistance and reliance AI policies for laboratories, educators, and students Validation of AI-assisted measurement systems Data analysis, procedures, and technical documentation Artificial general intelligence and the work of Alan Turing and David Deutsch Why training, peer review, and professional networking remain essential This episode offers a balanced look at how metrology professionals can use AI to work more efficiently without compromising technical integrity.

   MTP S4E10: Season 4 Finale

   In this season finale of Metrology Today, Ryan and Henry wrap up Season 4 with a look back at the conversations, guests, and themes that defined the year — and a preview of what’s coming next. This season featured consultants, assessors, industry leaders, and practitioners from across metrology, testing, manufacturing, and quality, covering topics including: Accreditation and assessment realities Decision rules and uncertainty Buying the wrong equipment — and the real cost of rework and false decisions Testing, production, and measurement beyond the lab Why metrology education needs to meet people where they are The episode also previews Season 5, which will introduce topic-focused educational podcasts and bonus episodes designed to support technicians, managers, and organizations making real measurement decisions. Whether you’re deep in metrology or responsible for measurement outcomes at a higher level, this episode ties the season together and sets the stage for what’s ahead.
