Need to create an e-learning presentation but don't have an eye for good visuals? This episode is for you! We revisit a great past episode with Diane Elkins, instructional design pro and owner of Artisan Learning. There's so much solid advice in this episode on what works, what to avoid, and how visuals impact the learning experience (probably more than you think).Diane explains how bad visuals inhibit learning, why simpler is often better, and why “slides” are due a name change. Plus, she gets on her soapbox to explain the real goal of e-learning. We also look at some examples of pretty, plain, and hideous slides to compare, based on a real experiment Diane used to test out visual design. One thing to note: We do share some visuals in this episode of good and bad design choices, so for the full experience, we recommend checking out the episode on YouTube.Learning points from the episode include:00:00 – 02:44 Introduction to Diane and her work02:44 – 04:57 The role in visuals in e-learning04:57 - 07:33 Best practices for visuals and what to avoid07:33 – 11:11 Mindset shifts to avoid over-the-top visuals11:11 – 13:20 Why visuals are even more important in e-learning scenarios13:20 – 16:25 How to decide what information to put on a slide16:25 – 21:53 Diane's pretty, plain, and hideous visual design experiment21:53 – 25:00 Why simple is often better for learning25:00 – 29:34 Why “is it helpful?” is the most important question to ask29:34 – 31:31 Why visual aids should always be in service of the audience31:31 – 38:42 An example of whether we should decorate or illustrate with visuals38:42 – 46:18 Can we fix it?

What if your biggest challenge became your biggest advantage? In this powerful episode, we sit down with Maxwell Ivey, widely known as The Blind Blogger, for a deeply inspiring conversation on accessibility, inclusion, and perseverance in the automotive world and beyond. Maxwell's journey began in a world that wasn't built for him—selling amusement rides online as a blind entrepreneur when accessibility barely existed. Since then, he's become a published author, keynote speaker, award-winning podcaster, and respected accessibility consultant across industries—including the auto and transportation sectors. We talk about:The hidden accessibility gaps in car buying, dealerships, and online platformsWhy most brands still miss the point when talking about inclusionMaxwell's role as a change-maker and advisory board member for PodMatchThe mindset strategies that helped him rise: inter-dependence, self-determination, and radical honestyHe's hosted hundreds of interviews, launched two influential podcasts including The Accessibility Advantage, and continues to push boundaries—literally and metaphorically.

Welcome back to Ditch the Labcoat with Dr. Mark Bonta! In this episode, we dive into the world of burnout—what it really looks like, how it creeps into even the most resilient among us, and, most importantly, what we can do to prevent it. Dr. Mark sits down with Dr. Judy Wright, a physician, performance strategist, burnout survivor, and the founder of JW Health Consulting. Dr. Wright brings a unique blend of medical expertise and personal experience to the conversation, sharing hard-won insights and practical tools that go beyond the surface-level “self-care” advice.From the silent lessons learned in medical school anatomy labs to the coping strategies (and comical dinner table conversations) that help healthcare workers weather the toughest shifts, Mark and Judy unpack what it really means to build resilience in high-stress environments. But these lessons aren't just for doctors and nurses. Whether you're managing a team, running a classroom, or simply juggling daily life, you'll find actionable advice—from five-minute reset techniques to the importance of building a support network before you desperately need one.Get ready for a candid, insightful, and wide-ranging conversation that will challenge you to rethink your approach to stress, burnout, and what it means to truly look after yourself at work and beyond.Episode HighlightsProactively Build Support Systems – Don't wait for crisis—establish a network of support inside and outside work to safeguard mental health and resilience.Normalize Emotional Boundaries – Healthcare workers are taught to compartmentalize; this is protective but needs healthy awareness to prevent detachment or apathy.Coping Skills Should Be Taught – Resilience and compartmentalization should be addressed directly in training, not just absorbed by osmosis or workplace culture.Talking Helps Heal Trauma – Debriefing difficult experiences with colleagues, friends, or professionals significantly boosts emotional processing and resilience.Early Self-Awareness Is Critical – Recognizing feelings of overwhelm or burnout early on is the best prevention, allowing intervention before serious harm is done.Burnout Is a Slow Erosion – It's not sudden; burnout creeps in gradually. Regular self-checks and honest reflection prevent it from taking root.Self-Care Is Individualized – Effective self-care goes beyond popular trends; it must be meaningful and restorative specifically for you.Small Pauses Make a Difference – Taking even a five-minute break—for breath work, movement, hydration, or reflection—can disrupt stress accumulation.Burnout Affects All Life Areas – Professional burnout inevitably spills into personal life, impacting thinking, relationships, and daily functioning.You Can Reinvent Your Career – There are multiple fulfilling paths beyond traditional clinical roles. If the current job isn't right, change is possible.Episode Timestamps 06:02 – Adapting to Cadaver Work 09:05 – Healthcare Workers' Emotional Challenges 10:03 – Emotional Detachment and Coping Mechanisms 13:16 – Debriefing's Role in Mental Health 17:02 – Early Healthcare Career Challenges 19:44 – Balancing Emotions in Medical Training 25:50 – Work-Life Interconnection Dynamics 29:33 – Importance of Building a Support System 30:18 – Integrating Self-Care with Work 34:30 – Exploring Diverse Medical Careers 39:30 – Prioritize Individualized Self-Care 40:54 – Authentic Self-Care Beyond Mani-Pedis 43:29 – Self-Care for Post-Work Recharge 47:40 – Workplace Energy and Self-Assessment 51:10 – Grounding Techniques for Resilience

In episode 142 of White Canes Connect, Lisa Bryant takes the lead to interview co-host David Goldstein and NFB of PA President Lynn Heitz about our experiences at the 2025 NFB National Convention in New Orleans. We share highlights from Pennsylvania's strong showing — 56 attendees, 10 first-timers, four national scholarship finalists, and a Jernigan Leadership graduate. Lynn and David reflect on the energy of the general sessions, memorable speeches, and some lively debates during resolutions. We also talk about the bustling — and slightly oddly laid-out — exhibit hall, where Pennsylvania sold out of chocolate-covered pretzels. From the opening ceremony's brass band and very cool Whozit beads to reconnecting with Federation friends and meeting new ones, the week was packed with learning, networking, and a few surprises — including a fire alarm that cleared the ballroom mid-vote. We also touch on standout presentations on AI, Social Security, and blindness research, plus the banquet speech from President Mark Riccobono. You'll also hear reflections from first-time attendees Denise, Clarence, and Parri, each sharing their most memorable convention moments. Whether you were there or not, this episode captures the energy, camaraderie, and purpose that make national convention such a powerful experience.

Dr. Marianne Miller is joined by Chelsea Levy, RDN (@chelsealevynutrition), a certified intuitive eating counselor, registered dietitian nutritionist, and fat-positive healthcare provider based in New York City. Chelsea shares her powerful journey from "diet rock bottom" to embracing intuitive eating and becoming a leading advocate for weight-inclusive and fat-positive care in eating disorder treatment and chronic illness support. Chelsea opens up about her career shift from the art and production world to dietetics, how she discovered intuitive eating, and why she now rejects the weight-centric medical model. Together, Marianne and Chelsea discuss the harms of weight stigma in healthcare, why fat-positive spaces are essential for healing, and how weight-inclusive care improves outcomes for eating disorder recovery, diabetes management, PCOS, and more. Content Caution: This episode discusses eating disorders, chronic dieting, medical weight stigma, and anti-fat bias. Listeners will learn: Why intuitive eating is transformative for eating disorder recovery How weight stigma in healthcare creates harm and barriers to treatment The difference between weight-inclusive care and fat-positive care How Chelsea integrates gender-affirming, fat-affirming, and evidence-based approaches in her practice What it means to dismantle anti-fat bias in medical and therapeutic spaces Chelsea also shares how validating clients' grief around body image and holding space for autonomy are essential parts of her approach.

Interviewees: Dr. Uyen Troung, and Dr. Nalinda Charnsangavej  Interviewer: Dr. Lisa Meeks Description: What does it take to create true accessibility in residency training? In this episode, Dr. Lisa Meeks is joined by Dr. Uyen Truong, Chief Resident at the UT-Austin Dell Medical School Pediatric Residency Program, and Dr. Nalinda Charnsangavej, the program's Director, for a candid conversation about disability inclusion in graduate medical education. Together, they share the story behind Dr. Truong's residency journey as a wheelchair user—from early planning and proactive accommodations to the team-wide commitment that made access possible. Listeners will hear how trust, open communication, and creative problem-solving helped dismantle barriers, and how the presence of physicians with disabilities strengthens patient care, especially for disabled children and their families. The discussion also dives into the practical side of accommodations in GME: what an access assistant does (and doesn't do), how to navigate procedural requirements, and the role of accrediting bodies like the ACGME and the American Board of Pediatrics in supporting inclusive training. This episode is part of the Disability Resource Hub series, made possible by the Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation Catalyst Award for Transformation in Graduate Medical Education, and offers valuable insights for program directors, residents, and anyone committed to building equitable clinical learning environments. Transcript: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mRUsqcVjm5oGQgPzV6tuzQxvyOH-0osSxVHeOeIC3qM/edit?usp=sharing Key words: Medical education, physical disability, disability research, residency, accommodations, wheelchair, SCI, medical technology, residency, pediatrics, program director, GME, GME Policy Bio: Uyen Truong, MD grew up in Minnesota but is currently finishing her chief year at UT Austin Dell Medical School Pediatric Residency Program. Following graduation, Uyen is going to work as a Complex Care Pediatrician back in Minnesota. Although the path has not been easy, she has always wanted to become a pediatrician and work with kids with medical complexity like herself. Through Uyen%E2%80%99s training and her own personal experiences, she has been able to help parents and children navigate the medical system. Uyen is very excited to continue working and advocating for children with disabilities and helping them achieve their goals. Nalinda Charnsangavej, MD is an associate professor of pediatrics at the Dell Medical School at the University of Texas at Austin. She serves as the pediatric residency program director and has an interest in promoting a healthy and supportive learning environment through supporting diversity, cultivating an inclusive climate, and promoting physician well-being and resilience. She has a specific interest in raising awareness of the benefits of inclusion of individuals with disabilities in the learning environment and patient care and has supported faculty and institution development in working with trainees with disabilities. In her role as a program director, she has individually mentored many trainees and also recognizes the need to support the establishment of strong mentorship relationships for trainees, particularly those from backgrounds underrepresented in medicine. She has led program-wide efforts to foster wellbeing and resiliency amongst trainees and participates in national work-groups such as the Pediatric Resident Burnout and Resilience Study Consortium. She is interested in helping develop best practices for GME programs to enhance access and inclusion of trainees with disabilities.

In this episode of Cache Up, host Michelle Frechette chats with Miriam Schwab, Head of WordPress at Elementor, about the company's latest innovations. They discuss new products like the Image Optimizer, Site Mailer, Ally accessibility plugin, and Angie, Elementor's AI assistant. Miriam shares insights on Elementor's codebase revamp for better performance, the company's commitment to accessibility, and the growing role of AI in WordPress. The conversation also highlights Elementor's community involvement, especially at WordCamp US, and the expanding availability of their tools beyond just Elementor users.Top Takeaways:Elementor Expands Beyond Page Building: Elementor is rapidly evolving beyond its roots as a page builder, expanding into a full suite of standalone tools that serve broader WordPress needs. These include utilities like Site Mailer for email deliverability, Image Optimizer for performance, Ally for accessibility, and the soon-to-launch AI assistant Angie. Importantly, many of these tools work independently of Elementor, making them accessible to all WordPress users regardless of their chosen builder.AI Integration is Shaping the Future of Elementor: A major focus for Elementor is integrating AI to streamline website creation and management. From Site Planner, which generates a full website structure from a prompt, to Ally's AI-powered accessibility fixes, and Angie's promise of automating time-consuming tasks, Elementor is positioning AI as a core part of the WordPress user experience. This not only increases efficiency but helps WordPress remain competitive and user-friendly in an AI-driven era.Performance and Speed Take Center Stage with Version 4: Elementor is addressing long-standing concerns about performance by refactoring its aging codebase. Version 4 (V4) of the page builder brings improvements in speed, cleaner code, and better development workflows. This overhaul is designed to benefit both end users, who will see faster websites, and developers, who will gain the ability to deploy new features more quickly and cleanly.Mentioned in the Show:ElementorW3TechsImage OptimizerAllySite Planner AngieWP Accessibility DayUnderrepresented in Tech

It's always a good day if you see a pelican. In Episode 30 of Talking Postgres with Claire Giordano, open source developer Simon Willison—creator of Datasette and co-creator of Django—joins to explore how AI is useful for data engineers today. We move past the hype and boosterism to dig into example after example: structured data extraction, alt text and accessibility, safety and security (aka the fiddly bits), and why Postgres's fine-grained permissions are such a good fit for AI-powered workflows. Also: Pulitzer-worthy data tooling, the science fiction of the 10X engineer, agents, MCP, RAG, the multitude of models, and why Simon spends so many waking hours on the jagged frontier of AI.Links mentioned in this episode:Blog: Simon Willison's WeblogBlog: Simon's Willison's TIL - Things I've LearnedPodcast episode: Working in public on open source with Simon Willison and Marco SlotProject page: Django Web FrameworkProject page: Datasette, for finding stories in data GitHub repo: llm CLI tool and Python libraryDemo: Language models on the command-line w/ Simon WillisonBlog post: OpenAI's new open weight (Apache 2) models are really good, by Simon Willison Podcast episode: Accessibility and Gen AI podcast with guest Simon WillisonBlog post: New dashboard: alt text for all my images, by Simon Willison Keynote talk: Big Opportunities in Small Data, by Simon Willison at Citus Con: An Event for Postgres 2023 Blog post: How OpenElections Uses LLMs, by Derek Willis Blog posts tagged with pelican-riding-a-bicycle on Simon Willison's Weblog Blog post: No, AI is not Making Engineers 10x as Productive, via Colton Voege, featured on Simon's weblogGitHub repo: pgvector extension to PostgresCal invite: LIVE recording of Ep31 of Talking Postgres to happen on Wed Sep 17, 2025

This week, Cathy McKnight, Chief Problem Solver at Seventh Bear, makes her monthly visit to the studio, and our host Ian Truscott grabs her after day 1 of CMS Connect 25, a gathering of content management professionals in Montreal, and she shares the latest talking points from the world of content management.  Some talking points from this week: CMSs are still valid and necessary for digital experiences, but digital experience platforms (DXPs) are not a thing. The death of the website is bullshit, and the CMS plays a key role in management and orchestration across all channels.  Artificial intelligence is obviously a hot topic, and there are some interesting use cases in content workflows, governance, and approval.  Composability and headless remain a hot technical trend, but not much is changing in terms of what buyers are asking for.  Accessibility was a surprisingly hot topic, and it's often overlooked. People, process, governance, and operations remain a technology-agnostic challenge regardless of the acronym used to describe them (DAM, MAM, MRM, WCM, etc). A dive into indulging our inner content geeks, and ss always, we welcome your feedback.  Enjoy! — The Links The people: Ian Truscott on LinkedIn and Bluesky Cathy McKnight on LinkedIn Mentioned this week: The story of Boye & Co CMS Connect 25 - Boye & Company Seventh Bear Rockstar CMO: The Beat Newsletter that we send every Monday Rockstar CMO on the web, Twitter, and LinkedIn Previous episodes and all the show notes: Rockstar CMO FM.

Welcome back to Ditch the Lab Coat with Dr. Mark Bonta—a podcast where we cut through health hype with evidence, curiosity, and a good dose of scientific skepticism. In this special solo episode, Dr. Bonta takes a step back to reflect on what he's learned after recording over 70 episodes with experts across medicine, wellness, and psychology.Instead of chasing the latest biohacks and trendy do's, Dr. Bonta shares his take on the “don'ts” that could make the biggest difference to our health: don't load your pantry with ultra-processed foods, don't rely on fad diets without respecting your biology, don't ignore your mental resilience, don't keep screens in your bedroom, and don't underestimate the lifelong dangers of substance use—especially alcohol. Drawing from fascinating past guests and peppered with real-life anecdotes, this episode is packed with practical, evidence-based advice that's more about avoiding pitfalls than perfecting routines.So plug in as Dr. Bonta looks back, revisits his birthday reflections, and gives us a no-nonsense breakdown of the habits (and substances) to ditch for a healthier, happier life.Episode Highlights1. Courage to Lead Change — Courage is essential to make necessary healthcare changes; everyone knows what to do, but few are willing to go first. 2. Unlearning as Growth — Success requires letting go of outdated practices, even those we've clung to for decades. 3. Nurses Leading Change — Nurses are often the ones who recognize and push for better patient care, even in the face of resistance. 4. The Role of Clinical Experts — Real-time support from experts can turn ideas into action and prevent regression under pressure. 5. Listening to the Team — Culture change starts with listening to those on the frontlines and empowering their voice. 6. A Better Way to Wean Ventilators — Traditional weaning methods can fail; a spontaneous breathing trial may be more effective. 7. The Importance of Protocols — A clear process protects patients from inconsistency and ensures evidence-based care. 8. Sedation's Downside — Sedation can cause harm; it's time to shift from automatic comfort to mindful, minimal use. 9. The Awakening Moment — A pivotal story about witnessing patients walking while intubated—and the shift it sparked. 10. Belief Before Buy-In — Seeing isn't always believing. Sometimes you must believe there's a better way before you ever see it. 11. What's Possible in Patient Recovery — Awake and mobile patients can achieve more than we think—even while critically ill. 12. Learning From Others — Growth often begins by learning from those who've already done what we thought was impossible. 13. Walking While Intubated — Real-world proof that mobility while ventilated isn't just a theory—it's being done. 14. Staff Impact and Transformation — Watching patients improve has a lasting impact on the staff and the culture of care. 15. Changing ICU Culture — Creating an awake and walking ICU demands a mindset shift and persistent leadership. 16. Making It the New Normal — What was once considered extraordinary can become standard with the right support and structure. 17. The Ripple Effect — Positive change in one unit can influence an entire hospital—and beyond.Episode Timestamps01:00 — Podcast Reflections on Lifespan and Healthcare 04:59 — Living Well: Do's vs. Don'ts 08:33 — Avoid Junk, Embrace Healthy Eating 11:51 — Hormones, Dieting, and Healthy Habits 16:45 — Dangers of Ultra-Processed Foods 18:56 — Prioritize Sleep: Limit Bedroom Screens 23:43 — Breath Work and CBT for Anxiety 27:26 — Optimal Health: Focus on Don'ts 28:38 — Alcohol and Substance Use Dangers 31:43 — Reflections on Healthier LivingDISCLAMER >>>>>>    The Ditch Lab Coat podcast serves solely for general informational purposes and does not serve as a substitute for professional medical services such as medicine or nursing.

Crystal Rivers | Kingdom Mysteries | Aug 6, 2025 When you read about the Garden of Eden in Genesis, you must expand your thinking beyond geographical coordinates. Consider how a "billionaires club" operates - it's not confined to one location, but represents access to privileges and realities that transcend physical boundaries. Members of this exclusive network enjoy certain benefits regardless of where they are in the world. Similarly, Eden represents a spiritual state of being and access to divine realities rather than simply a place on a map. ## The Heart as Sacred Ground The key to unlocking Eden's mysteries lies in understanding that the "ground" mentioned throughout Genesis 2 represents the human heart. When Scripture says God caused trees and beasts to emerge "out of the ground," it's describing how divine realities manifest within your consciousness when God opens your spiritual perception. This interpretation becomes clear when you apply Jesus's teaching from the parable of the sower: if seeds represent God's words, and different types of ground represent different heart conditions, then the trees of the garden - which carry seeds - represent collections of divine revelation, much like books containing chapters, pages, and individual words. ## Angelic Encounters in the Garden The "beasts of the field" that Adam encountered were not ordinary animals, but cherubim - powerful angelic beings. When you study the Hebrew text, you discover that the seraphim around God's throne in Isaiah 6 are literally called "serpents," revealing that these creatures represent different classes of spiritual beings. Even Satan, described as "more subtle than any beast of the field," was originally an anointed cherub who fell from his position. Adam was placed in the midst of these spiritual entities as an infant among mature beings, designed to learn from their ministry and grow in spiritual stature. ## The Priestly Calling and Spiritual Development God positioned Adam not as a casual resident, but as a priest in this organic temple. The phrase "to dress and keep" the garden uses the same Hebrew terminology applied to priestly service. Adam's assignment was clear: consume every tree in the garden except one. This wasn't about literal eating, but about absorbing every word that proceeds from God's mouth. Adam began as a "living soul" - the basic level of spiritual existence - but was destined to become a "life-giving spirit" like Christ. This transformation required progressing through interaction with ministering spirits (angels) who were assigned to bear him up and guide his development. ## The Accessibility of Eden Today These realities aren't confined to ancient history. The Garden of Eden represents a spiritual dimension you can access through dedicated prayer and fasting. When you engage deeply in seeking God, pushing away unbelief and carnality, you create conditions for supernatural manifestations - the same "mist" that watered the original garden. The mist represents God's presence maintaining your heart in a state of spiritual fertility, keeping away the thorns and thistles of doubt and worldliness that would otherwise choke out divine revelation. ## Practical Application for Your Spiritual Life Your heart is designed to be a garden where God's word takes root and flourishes. Just as Adam was meant to remove the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and populate his environment with the tree of life alone, you must cultivate your inner spiritual environment through consistent prayer and meditation on Scripture. When you maintain this discipline, you'll discover that supernatural realities begin manifesting around you - not as entertainment, but as natural expressions of dwelling in God's presence. These experiences serve as confirmation that you've moved past the entrance of Eden into deeper spiritual territory. ## Moving Forward in Understanding Remember that spiritual maturity requires moving beyond elementary concepts into deeper revelation. The foundational principles - repentance from dead works, faith toward God, baptisms, laying on of hands, resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment - serve as milk that prepares you for the meat of advanced spiritual understanding. Your calling is not to remain a doubting believer, but to become an unshakeable person of faith who expects and experiences the supernatural as a normal part of relationship with God. This transformation happens as you dedicate yourself to the lifestyle of prayer and fasting that characterizes true New Testament priesthood. http://www.caveadullam.org/zoom Instagram Cave Adullam: https://www.instagram.com/caveadullam/ #STNG : https://www.instagram.com/securingthenextgeneration/ Learn more : http://caveadullam.org/ Subscribe to our Podcast on iTunes : https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/cave-adullam/id1473967577 Check us out on Spotify : https://open.spotify.com/show/02wUJ3WYccOFWDtQq486EJ or download the Podcast episodes for free : https://hearthis.at/caveadullam-hl/#tracks Follow us on Facebook & Instagram Facebook Cave Adullam : https://www.facebook.com/caveadullam.org Ministers Rest : https://www.facebook.com/ministersrest/ Preparing His bride : https://web.facebook.com/phbfellowship/ #STNG : https://www.facebook.com/securingthenextgeneration/ Instagram Cave Adullam: https://www.instagram.com/caveadullam/ #STNG : https://www.instagram.com/securingthenextgeneration/

In this episode of Get It Seen: The Simplest Way to Accessible Design host Michelle Frechette and typography expert Piccia Neri discuss the vital role of typography in web accessibility. They explore how factors like font choice, size, alignment, kerning, and style impact readability and legibility for all users, including those with visual or neurological differences. The conversation highlights common pitfalls—such as using all caps, centered text, or decorative fonts—and offers practical tips for creating accessible, user-friendly content. Real-world examples underscore how thoughtful typography can improve user experience and even boost website conversions. The episode concludes with a preview of next week's focus on color and contrast.Top Takeaways:Typography Is More Than Just Fonts — It's a Core Element of Accessibility: Typography includes not only font choices but also layout, spacing, alignment, font weight, size, line height, tracking, and visual hierarchy. These elements together shape how readable and legible text is, directly affecting accessibility and user experience.Readability and Legibility Are Different, and Both Matter: Legibility is about how easily individual letters can be distinguished (e.g., clear letterforms, avoiding imposter letters like I/l/1). Readability refers to how easily blocks of text can be read and understood (e.g., proper line length, avoiding full justification, using appropriate spacing). Both need to be considered when designing for diverse users, including those with dyslexia or visual impairments.Alignment Strongly Impacts Usability and Conversion: Left-aligned text is significantly easier to read, especially online. Centered or poorly aligned text disrupts the reader's visual flow and can make content inaccessible.There Are No Universally "Perfect" Accessible Typefaces: Recommendations like "use sans-serif fonts" or “Arial is accessible” are oversimplified. Accessibility depends on how the typeface is used, whether it distinguishes similar characters clearly (e.g., capital I vs. lowercase L), and whether it's appropriate for your audience. Typefaces like Atkinson Hyperlegible are designed with accessibility in mind, but even these aren't universally preferred.Mentioned in the Show:Don't Make Me Think Book By Steve KrugAtkinson HyperlegibleSöhne Klim Type Foundry National Klim Type FoundryJosef AlbersAccessible typeface checklist – free resourceAccessible Typography 101 course – 30% discount code: PODCAST30Better Accessibility Through Typography Masterclass – 30% discount code: PODCAST30

Alan offers a deep dive into the Iboga Patient Survey, a groundbreaking initiative collecting real-world data on the safety and efficacy of Ibogaine—particularly for those struggling with substance use disorders and mental health challenges.
