In episode 224 of America Adapts we're diving into climate change and human mobility—how rising seas, extreme weather, and disasters are forcing communities to relocate and what that means for policy and planning. Joining the podcast is Dr. Eric Chu, who's helping lead a new webinar series (where America Adapts was the moderator) on this topic with CCST (California Council on Science and Technology), the UC Disaster Resilience Network, and the UC Berkeley Center for Security in Politics. We'll talk about how cities can prepare for climate-driven displacement, how researchers can better engage with policymakers, and what lessons we can take from California's leadership in adaptation.  Eric's been involved in some major climate convenings, including discussions on wildfire smoke and policy action at the university level. There's a lot to unpack! Battelle's ICR25 ICR25 brings together the world's brightest minds to solve the resilience challenge. This year's theme, “Partner, Accelerate, Launch,” highlights the critical need for innovative solutions to reach commercialization and impact resilience.

In today's podcast we were delighted to be joined by the presenters of the top scientific abstracts for the Annual Assembly of the American Academy of  Hospice and Palliative Medicine (AAHPM) and the Hospice and Palliative Medicine Nurses Association (HPNA).  Eric and I interviewed these presenters at the meeting on Thursday (before the pub crawl, thankfully).  On Saturday, they formally presented their abstracts during the plenary session, followed by a wonderful question and answer session with Hillary Lum doing a terrific job in the role of podcast host moderator. Our three guests were Marie Bakitas, who conducted a trial of tele/video palliative care for Black and White inpatients with serious illness hospitalized in the rural south; Yael Shenker, for a trial of patient-directed Prepare-for-your-care vs. facilitated Respecting Choices style advance care planning interventions; and, Na Ouyang, who studied the relationship between prognostic communication and prolonged grief among the parents of children who died from cancer.  From just the abstracts we had so many questions. We covered some of our questions on the podcast, others you can ponder on your own or in your journal clubs, including: Marie's tele/video palliative care intervention was tailored/refined with the help of a community advisory board. Does every institution need to get a community advisory board to tailor their rural tele-palliative care initiative (or geriatrics intervention) to the local communities served?  Who would/should be on that board? How to be sensitive to the risks of stereotyping based on recommendations from the few members of the board to the many heterogeneous patients served? Advance care planning has taken a beating. For the purposes of a thought exercise, no matter what you believe, let's assume that there are clear important benefits. Based on the results of Yael's study, should resources be allocated to resource intensive nurse facilitated sessions (Respecting Choices), which had significantly better engagement, or to low resource intensive patient-facing materials (Prepare), which had significantly less engagement but still plenty of engagement (e.g. 75% vs 61% advance directive completion)? One interpretation of Na's study is that clinicians can lean on the high levels of trust and high ratings of communication to engage with parents of children with cancer about prognosis.  Another interpretation is that clinicians avoided telling the parents prognosis in order to bolster their ratings of trust and communication quality.  Which is it? Bonus: Simon says he composed the song Sounds of Silence in a dark echoing bathroom about his concerns that people had stopped listening to each other in the 1960s (still resonates, right?).  Garfunkel says Simon was writing about Garfunklel's friend and college roomate Sandy, who was blind.  Who's got the right of it?   Enjoy! -Alex Smith

REPLAY: The Professional Artist with Echo Chernik Date: February 1st, 2025 Episode 37 - Join Echo as she interviews artist, nouveau-pirate, and philosopher Nigel Sade on his journey selling his art around the world. About Nigel Sade “Nigel Sade was born on a bright and sunny day nearly to some, and exactly to others, 40 years after D-day. Some consider this meaningful whilst the rest laugh at those people, but I digress. He was raised in hell ... or rather Ohio but I don't want to split hairs. In a smallish county called Portage. As a child he could be found drawing on any surface he could make a mark on, and with all the moving security deposits were more like donations. In School this A.D.H.D. Toth wannabe (but with hands) was considered a bit strange by his peers, ... a malady that never left him as it turned out. As a teenager he was a rebellious youth, A Technicolored street Freak, delving into every aspect of art, from Drawing to painting to Music to Religion to Science to Philosophy in general. Then there were the dark times ... the marriage! When his soul was crushed by evil and doubt. He Dreamt of being an artist but that was not a real job ... how could you feed a family with that pipe dream? However, In just 6 and a half long agonizing years it was over. On the Up side His torment was not without reward; He now has 2 lovely Spawn with which to explore life. Shortly after his divorce Nigel graduated college with a degree in Philosophy. So Armed with his freedom, his offspring, and an amazing ability to argue points that even he may not believe, he set out on the high seas of art! This was a joyous thing! There was much weirdness, art, travel, debauchery and Success. Stories were made and told, and now he Currently travel the amber waves of grain, questioning whatever reality he is presented with, chewing that up and spitting it out in the form of art. Then Nigel shows that art to the hapless masses in hopes that it moves them as much at it moved him to create it. Nigel's art in form is Symbolism (Much like Surrealism), represented in either a realism or Abstracts, and in function it explores basic ideas we hold, mostly it does so by exploring questions of Reality, Love, Thought and plain old strangeness. Nigel's belief is that art should spur conversation, not just match ones curtains. Now you may ask, "What does all this have to do with piracy?" Well, he was always a grungy, bandana wearin' freak. His family was and is highly Piratical What with their last name Rogers all the family businesses are Jolly Roger this and Jolly Roger that ... Not to mention their propensity for Rum. So with his families' nautical background and the new Pirate craze, the public proclaimed him a pirate, and a pirate he was. Yet, having always loved pirates, one can say Nigel got peanut butter in his chocolate!” Nigels's LinkTree: https://linktr.ee/NigelSade Echo Chernik Links: Website: https://www.EchoChernik.com Illustration: https://www.echo-x.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/echoxartist Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/echochernik Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thexcaliberproject Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/profile/echox/created

Art, S3x, and Sarcasm Episode 036: January 18, 2025 Nigel Sade and I take a break and have some fun. Art is more than a hobby or career — it's a lifestyle. About Nigel Sade “Nigel Sade was born on a bright and sunny day nearly to some, and exactly to others, 40 years after D-day. Some consider this meaningful whilst the rest laugh at those people, but I digress. He was raised in hell ... or rather Ohio but I don't want to split hairs. In a smallish county called Portage. As a child he could be found drawing on any surface he could make a mark on, and with all the moving security deposits were more like donations. In School this A.D.H.D. Toth wannabe (but with hands) was considered a bit strange by his peers, ... a malady that never left him as it turned out. As a teenager he was a rebellious youth, A Technicolored street Freak, delving into every aspect of art, from Drawing to painting to Music to Religion to Science to Philosophy in general. Then there were the dark times ... the marriage! When his soul was crushed by evil and doubt. He Dreamt of being an artist but that was not a real job ... how could you feed a family with that pipe dream? However, In just 6 and a half long agonizing years it was over. On the Up side His torment was not without reward; He now has 2 lovely Spawn with which to explore life. Shortly after his divorce Nigel graduated college with a degree in Philosophy. So Armed with his freedom, his offspring, and an amazing ability to argue points that even he may not believe, he set out on the high seas of art! This was a joyous thing! There was much weirdness, art, travel, debauchery and Success. Stories were made and told, and now he Currently travel the amber waves of grain, questioning whatever reality he is presented with, chewing that up and spitting it out in the form of art. Then Nigel shows that art to the hapless masses in hopes that it moves them as much at it moved him to create it. Nigel's art in form is Symbolism (Much like Surrealism), represented in either a realism or Abstracts, and in function it explores basic ideas we hold, mostly it does so by exploring questions of Reality, Love, Thought and plain old strangeness. Nigel's belief is that art should spur conversation, not just match ones curtains. Now you may ask, "What does all this have to do with piracy?" Well, he was always a grungy, bandana wearin' freak. His family was and is highly Piratical What with their last name Rogers all the family businesses are Jolly Roger this and Jolly Roger that ... Not to mention their propensity for Rum. So with his families' nautical background and the new Pirate craze, the public proclaimed him a pirate, and a pirate he was. Yet, having always loved pirates, one can say Nigel got peanut butter in his chocolate!” Nigels's LinkTree: https://linktr.ee/NigelSade Echo Chernik Links: Website: https://www.EchoChernik.com Illustration: https://www.echo-x.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/echoxartist Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/echochernik Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thexcaliberproject Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/profile/echox/created

In this episode, Naim Alkhouri, Mike Betel, Michelle Long and Jeff McIntyre join Jörn Schattenberg and Roger Green to look back at The Liver Meeting 2024. This conversation reviews the ESSENCE trial, the Phase 3 trial demonstrating that semaglutide regresses fibrosis levels in some MASH patients.  The conversation begins with each panelist sharing a word or short phrase they felt best captured their feelings about TLM2024. Next, panelists review the meeting's most consequential paper, the ESSENCE Trial. Naim starts by describing ESSENCE, a Phase 3 trial with semaglutide demonstrating significant levels of fibrosis regression in non-cirrhotic MASH patients. Jörn adds the hopeful note that NITs performed as well as or better than biopsy in this trial, which he hopes will speed the transition in diagnostic approaches and tools. Jeff and Mike agree that from the patient's perspective, ESSENCE will be seen as a milestone in MASH therapy: the proof that a second drug can succeed in MASH. As the conversation ends, Roger notes that approval of a second agent for a particular disease often leads to dramatic growth in overall drug treatment by changing the pivotal question from whether to treat with a drug to which choice to prescribe.

In this episode, Naim Alkhouri, Mike Betel, Michelle Long and Jeff McIntyre join Jörn Schattenberg and Roger Green to look back at The Liver Meeting 2024. This conversation considers how the anticipated approval of a second MASH drug without biopsy might affect clinical trials and discusses two recent publications on patient genotyping and patient clusters. The conversation starts with Roger asking the group whether the presence of two approved MASH medications that do not require biopsy will make recruiting clinical trials that require them more challenging. The group doubts this will not add a significant new challenge to already-challenging trial recruitment. Naim comments that while this is a concern, it is already factored into trial schedules and that, given the number of patients available for trial, this should be highly manageable. Michelle discusses the importance of risk stratification in overall trial enrollment and this issue. Jeff and Mike agree that while this is a concern, it is part of a broader concern about the use of biopsy and should not in itself be a primary focus in terms of trial design at this point in time. Naim introduces two other topics he considers worthy of consideration: the impact of synergy between resmetirom and GLP-1 agonists and the importance of different genetic polymorphisms in predicting the impact of drugs on specific patients. On synergy, he comments that MAESTRO-NASH data suggests that the presence of a GLP-1 does not affect the impact of resmetirom on fibrosis level. On the second point, he notes that several papers looked at major genotypes like PNPLA3 and HD17N13 and specifically cites a late-breaker from Arun Sanyal indicating that g-allele status may impact MASH independent of weight or insulin. Michelle mentions a recent paper in Nature identifying distinct clusters of patients based on how their SLDs progress over time, with a two-cluster solution indicating patients with concomitant diabetes and obesity vs. those without these two concomitant diseases. Roger shares a key point from each paper on treatment in the US. Data in the PNPLA3 paper might suggest that the course of disease in Hispanics, who have high levels of g-allele abnormalities, might be different from other ethnic groups with far lower abnormality rates. He also notes that the faster disease progression in the non-metabolic cluster highlights the importance of learning more about Lean MASH and how to treat it, since faster progression of disease suggests later diagnosis and higher morbidity, mortality and treatment costs levels.

In this episode, Naim Alkhouri, Mike Betel, Michelle Long and Jeff McIntyre join Jörn Schattenberg and Roger Green to look back at The Liver Meeting 2024. This conversation reviews the late-breaker presentation on efimosermin, a q4w FGF-21 agent and the "FDA Corner" session. Jörn begins the discussion by highlighting a paper from the later breaker session on efimosfermin alfa, an FGF-21 agent dosed q4w. He notes that after only six doses (24 weeks), efimosfermin alfa demonstrated significant increases in fibrosis regression and lowering NAS score. To Jörn, this result, coupled with others on efruxifermin and pegozafermin, suggest that FGF-21s are likely to play a significant role in MASH therapy once approved. After Roger and Mike note their enthusiasm about the drug class and this study, Jörn mentions a study with 96-week efruxifermin that data demonstrates prolonged efficacy. As he points out, this matters because while studies of an earlier FGF-21 candidate suggested that antibodies might develop in FGF-21 therapy, that does not appear to be an issue here. Mike asks the group why they feel placebo performs so well in clinical trials. Jörn suggests that working with a compassionate clinical care team in dealing with the patient leads to better performance on diet and exercise and, as a result, increased placebo response to what we might find in general community practice.Michelle praises the FDA Corner session, particularly the agency's transparency and willingness to engage industry and academia in finding paths to move away from biopsy. She also notes some of the practical challenges inherent of moving away from biopsy using data from earlier trials with an outmoded histology reader setup. She is optimistic about the scientific community coming together to address these issues. Jeff praises the agency for an "amazing" session.

In this episode, Microsoft senior principal researchers Chris Hawblitzel and Jay Lorch join host Amber Tingle to discuss “Verus: A Practical Foundation for Systems Verification,” which received the Distinguished Artifact Award at this year's Symposium on Operating Systems Principles, or SOSP. In their research, Hawblitzel, Lorch, and their coauthors leverage advances in programming languages and formal verification with two aims. The first aim is to help make software verification more accessible for systems developers so they can demonstrate their code will behave as intended. The second aim is to provide the research community with sound groundwork to tackle the application of formal verification to large, complex systems.Read the paper
