The first two weeks after birth have a lot going on… So I'm doing 2 episodes on it. Here you will learn what recovery can look like for both mother and baby. I discuss the wide range of postpartum experiences, the care gap that can exist after birth, and how support from midwives, nurses, GPs, partners, family, friends, and the wider community can help with feeding, recovery, and emotional wellbeing. I'm also going to explain matrescence, the transition into motherhood, and the physical, emotional, and identity changes that can happen after birth. This episode covers practical early postpartum advice, including skin-to-skin contact, feeding, rest, wound healing, bleeding, swelling, afterbirth pains, and what to watch for if there are signs of infection or heavier-than-expected blood loss. I give guidance on the first wee and first poo postpartum, as well as the importance of food, fluids, and support in the early days. The first days can feel intense, but we adjust and things usually become more manageable.

In a recent interview with CancerNetwork®, Nicholas Hornstein, MD, PhD, an assistant professor at the Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Medicine of Hofstra University and Northwell Health, discussed emerging data and clinical shifts in the care of patients with gastrointestinal (GI) cancers ahead of the 2026 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting.Advancements in Colorectal CancerHornstein highlighted the increasing integration of targeted therapies into the first-line setting for patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). For those with BRAF V600E-mutated metastatic disease, data from the phase 3 BREAKWATER trial (NCT04607421) support moving targeted therapy into the first line.1 He noted that initiating these therapies early is critical, as a significant percentage of patients may experience rapid clinical decline and lose the opportunity for second-line treatment if targeted options are delayed.In the HER2-positive space, clinicians currently utilize tucatinib (Tukysa)-based regimens or fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan-nxki (Enhertu). Hornstein also anticipated the arrival of bispecific antibodies, such as zanidatamab-hrii (Ziihera), which are expected to gain approval in upper GI cancers before moving into the CRC landscape.The Role of ctDNA and Pancreatic CancerRegarding localized disease, Hornstein discussed the potential for circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) to guide adjuvant therapy for patients with stage II colon cancer. Data from trials like CIRCULATE (NCT05174169) are expected to further clarify how ctDNA can assist in the escalation or de-escalation of treatment.2 In pancreatic cancer, the phase 3 RASolute 302 trial (NCT06625320) investigating daraxonrasib is poised to change the standard of care for patients with second-line pancreatic cancer immediately upon an anticipated regulatory approval.3Barriers to Precision MedicineA primary unmet need that Hornstein identified was the low rate of biomarker testing; currently, only about half of patients with metastatic disease receive necessary sequencing or microsatellite instability testing. Hornstein emphasized that multidisciplinary cooperation and improved systems are essential to ensure all patients with targetable mutations receive appropriate care. Finally, he highlighted the development of large language model tools to assist clinicians with data ingestion and clinical trial matching.References1.        Kopetz S, Wasan HS, Yoshino T, et al.

This episode with Victoria Callier is a great one to close out a guest's law school chapter on. Victoria is a recent graduate of UNLV School of Law and a semi-finalist for Rhetoric's Moot Court Madness competition. Victoria takes us down her journey, from being a kid in Las Vegas who would pick an animal of the week and force her parents to sit through a full persuasive presentation on why it was the best one, to studying English at SMU, to coming back home to UNLV and heading off to clerk for the Nevada Supreme Court in Reno right after the bar.What I appreciated most about this conversation is Victoria's honesty. She did not love 1L, and she says so plainly. She went into her first semester treating everyone as competition before a study group completely turned her mental well-being around. She also walked into law school set on immigration and asylum work, then realized through her internships that she did not have the emotional bandwidth for it, and was self-aware enough to pivot toward the corporate research and writing she actually loves. Oh, and somewhere in the middle of all of that, she was Miss Nevada and runs a mental health nonprofit she started back in high school called More Than You Think.Victoria also gets into Moot Court Madness and how the AI feedback from her first run, which she was handing over information without actually persuading anyone, reshaped the way she reads cases and builds arguments. Her closing advice is simple, but it stuck with me: find what you love about the law and hold onto it, because that “why” is what carries you through the moments you want to quit.A genuinely fun and honest conversation, and a fitting send-off as Victoria heads into her clerkship.Victoria's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/victoriacallierBe sure to check out the Official Sponsors for the Lawyers in the Making Podcast:Rhetoric - Empowers your teaching and training with AI that strengthens learning, protects integrity, and proves authentic understanding, for students and professionals alike, with CICERO.

Review Guide: The Legal Mindset Mastering the Law School Exam: From Memory to ApplicationThis episode offers a comprehensive blueprint for transforming your legal studies approach, emphasizing critical thinking over mere memorization. It dives into the mental shift needed to excel in law school exams—viewing them as tests of reasoning and argumentation, not just recall.Most law students fall prey to the myth that memorizing rules leads directly to exam success. The truth is, law school's real challenge is mastering a disciplined method of application—an entirely different skill set from undergraduate memorization. This episode rewires your thinking, showing you how to transition from filling pages with definitions to expertly crafting legal analysis that wins on any exam question.You'll discover how law school exams are engineered to test three critical cognitive layers simultaneously: knowing the rule, spotting issues in complex facts, and reasoning through ambiguity. We break down these layers with concrete examples—from a sneeze in a crowded elevator to a five-year-old pulling a lawn chair—and reveal how to address them with precision. Learn the seven buckets of modular legal thinking—claims, elements, defenses, exceptions, burdens, remedies, and policy—that organize your mind into a strategic factory. Understanding this modular architecture is the key to deploying rules effectively during the chaos of timed exams.We take you through the universal exam method, a step-by-step algorithm that transforms your approach from haphazard writing to rigorous analysis: identify the conflict, state the rule, match facts to elements, develop competing arguments, and reach a reasoned conclusion. To anchor this method, you'll learn the law school exam sentence, a powerful linguistic formula that ensures clarity within controversy—crucial for producing airtight, conflict-focused responses.Finally, you'll confront a common psychological barrier—the myth of the legal genius—by understanding that mastery is mechanical, not magical. Reinforce your confidence with a simple day-one exercise: articulate in writing how law exams differ from undergrad assessments, emphasizing application, legally significant facts, gray areas, and recitation. This mental shift is your foundation for confident, strategic legal thinking that works not only on exams but in practice.Whether you're an incoming 1L or a seasoned bar candidate, this episode delivers an unshakeable roadmap for transforming data into decisive legal reasoning. Prepare to see the law not as a body of static knowledge but as a rigorous vehicle for navigating human conflict. Hit play and start building your legal factory today.In this episode:Why memorization alone fails in law school and how to shift from a library mindset to a factory mindsetThe three layers of legal exam questions: rule knowledge, issue spotting, and reasoning through gray areasThe seven modular categories (claims, elements, defenses, exceptions, burdens, remedies, policy) for organizing legal informationThe universal exam method (UEM): a structured five-step approach to tackling any law school questionThe power of the Law School Exam Sentence: a linguistic template to frame legal controversies preciselyThe psychological pitfalls of perfectionism and the myth of the legal geniusPractical steps for mastering legal analysis and managing ambiguity with confidence

This episode with Robert McNeill is truly one of the most unique journeys I have encountered on this podcast to date. Bob is an oral and maxillofacial surgeon at The Dental Specialists, a healthcare regulator in Texas, a strategic advisor for the American Dental Association, and on top of all of that, he is now a 1L at Northeastern University School of Law in their FlexJD program, along with his wife, who is also a surgeon and in the same law school class as him. Yes, you read that correctly.What makes Bob's story so fascinating is his commitment to being useful. He has a DDS, an MD, an MBA from a healthcare management program, and a public policy fellowship from the Harvard Kennedy School, and he is adding a JD to the mix in his 50s. But as Bob himself says, this isn't about collecting credentials, it's about changing the lens through which he sees problems at the intersection of policy, systems, and patient safety. Between studying for his criminal law final, writing his legal writing memo from a cafe in Fez, Morocco, during spring break, and climbing Kilimanjaro right before starting 1L, Bob is the definition of enjoying the journey.This was a fantastic and wide-ranging conversation with a man who keeps pushing the envelope at every stage of life.

Simon's half-arsed sell on this dish is hilarious and worth the price of admission - but the meal itself is a keeper.It's his riff on a Nigella recipe: SIMON'S REAL LIFE CHICKEN Find a wide fry pan with a good-fitting lid, then get8 chicken thighs, skin onand you fry them in 2-3tbs garlic oil with zest of a lemon added in, skin-side down, until browned.Set the chicken aside... and then to the still sizzling pan, add in 500g Basmati rice and stir well.Add 1tsp ground cumin.Pour over 1L of hot chicken or vegetable stock. Season with salt and pepper, bring everything up to a simmer, add the chicken, pop the lid on then simmer gently for 25 mins.To serve, squeeze over lemon, toss over some herbs and add a dollop of Greek Yoghurt.

We are back with a very special guest Dr. Michael Pishvaian, who is an Associate Professor in GI Oncology at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center, and creator of Tumor Board Tuesday. In part 2, we will focus on metastatic pancreatic cancer, 1L treatments, maintenance therapy, targeted therapy + more. 

You often hear that summer jobs in law school can lay the foundation for your career. Which is kind of terrifying. It creates the impression that your decisions as a 1L can determine the entire course of your life. But here's the truth: your career is not going to be a straight line. Just ask today's guest, Rob Bilott. Rob started as a defense attorney. But he's gone on to bring major environmental class actions against chemical companies, and helped expose the truth about toxic "forever chemicals." Rob's book Exposure chronicles the fight. Hollywood even made a movie about his work.Suggestions for topics? Questions for our guests?

I veckans avsnitt av ”Så in i Själen” möter ni Eva Henje. Eva är överläkare och professor i barn- och ungdomspsykiatri vid Umeå Universitet. Hon är också trauma terapeut och har lång erfarenhet av att undervisa meditation och yoga. Hon forskar på hur vi ska kunna hjälpa unga med stress och trauma-relaterade symptom på ett sätt som är relevant. Eva har också en privat mottagning i Stockholm där hos erbjuder trauma- och integrationsterapi.Eva har skapat ett behandlingsprogram för unga med ångest och depression som kallas TARA - Training for Awareness Resilience and Action. Det är en 12 veckors gruppbehandling som adresserar effekterna av de överväldigande livshändelser som de flesta som drabbas av depression och ångest i ung ålder har varit med om. I TARA betraktas symptomen som begripliga och normala reaktioner på långvarig stress och utsatthet och inte någon sjukdom som bör behandlas med piller. Eva har också initierat ett forskningsprojekt för att studera MDMA-assisterad terapi för unga vuxna med svårbehandlad depression som snart kommer starta upp i Norge.

Joe O'Donnell with Nico Sturm plus John Hynes with the media following a 2-1L to Chicago as heard @KFAN1003 

From the first day of 1L year, the pressure to compete with your peers can feel overwhelming. But what if the secret to a fulfilling legal career isn't a higher grade, but a deeper connection?In this episode of the ABA Law Student Podcast, host Eve Albert sits down with Spencer Pahlke, a trial attorney at WalkUp, Melodia, Kelly, and Schoenberger and a lecturer at Berkeley Law. Spencer breaks down the realities of a plaintiff's side practice—from representing those who have suffered catastrophic injuries to the chaotic, exciting "mishmash" of a typical workday.We dive deep into the power of the plaintiff's bar, the importance of pay transparency in the legal field, and how the National Plaintiff's Law Association (NPLA) is helping students get their foot in the door.
