In this episode, Pastor Cindy talks about how our Obedience is the fuel to our advancement. It is God's will for us to advance. For us to prosper. Everything we experience is meant to teach us lessons that will help in our advancement. Oftentimes we allow our past experiences and setbacks to keep us from taking the necessary risks to move forward with God. When we obey God we are simply exercising our faith. It is faith that is the difference between believing and understanding. We believe for what God promises us but we don't have to fully understand in order for our faith to be activated. God is going to raise a generation that is willing to take risks for the advancement of the Kingdom Scripture references: Jeremiah 32:17, Luke 1:37, Mark 11:22-24, Romans 4:21, Matthew 6:10, Mark 9:37, John 10:10, Ephesians 3:20, Ephesians 4:12, Nehemiah 2:18, Judges 7:2-12, Joshua 1:5-9, Joshua 1:7, Nehemiah 1:8, Nehemiah 2:18, 20, 1 Kings 17:8-16, Acts 4:29-35, Acts 19:11-12, Acts 28:3-5, 7-10.

In this episode of Pulse Check: The Reputation Rethink, we turn to two areas where public skepticism about higher education becomes more pronounced: money and local community impact. Ologie's national study revealed that most people believe colleges and universities provide value to society, but when the conversation shifts to how institutions are funded and how they show up in their communities, confidence begins to waver. Host Dayana Kibilds is joined by Doug Edwards, Chief Strategy Officer at Ologie, and Dr. Cassie Dutton, Research Director at Ologie, to unpack what the data tells us. Only 39% of respondents believe taxpayer dollars are being allocated to the areas they care most about. At the same time, only about half say they see meaningful benefits from their local colleges and universities. Together, they explore where that skepticism comes from, what people actually want to see prioritized, and how institutions can respond in ways that feel clear, visible, and grounded in everyday life. This episode is about understanding the gap between value and visibility, and what it would take to close it. Guest Bio (Doug Edwards): Doug is a seasoned professional who's dedicated his career to helping brands do more good for the world. With 20 years of experience across healthcare, education, cultural institutions, and non-profits, Doug helps senior leaders and marketing teams navigate their toughest brand related challenges. He thrives at the intersection of strategy, creativity, and design and currently serves as the Chief Strategy Officer at Ologie where he leads the research and strategy team. Guest Bio (Cassie Dutton, PhD): Cassie brings a unique perspective to her work, combining 10+ years of academic research and consumer insights experience. She's conducted academic research on the immigrant experience, veterans perspectives on social issues, and public policy and worked with strategists and consumers at some of the world's largest brands. What ties this all together? A real passion for utilizing data to tell stories and get to the “so what.” As a qualitative and quantitative researcher, Cassie loves finding just the right methods and approach to get at the heart of a question. When she's not drafting research design, analyzing data, or moderating, you can find Cassie at her local independent bookstore or stamping her passport on an international adventure. Host Bio (Dayana Kibilds): With 15 years of experience, Dayana Kibilds has led award-winning work with universities around the world. An international keynote speaker and one of London, Ontario's 20 Under 40, she is known for making complex ideas clear, practical, and possible.

Humans aren't rational. We don't evaluate facts objectively; instead, we interpret them through our biases, experiences, and backgrounds. What's more, we're psychologically motivated to reject or distort information that threatens our identity or worldview – even if it's scientifically valid. Add to that our modern media landscape where everyone has a different source of "truth" for world events, our ability to understand what is actually true is weaker than ever. How, then, can we combat misinformation when simply presenting the facts is no longer enough – and may even backfire? In this episode, Nate is joined by John Cook, a researcher who has spent nearly two decades studying science communication and the psychology of misinformation. John shares his journey from creating the education website Skeptical Science in 2007 to his shocking discovery that his well-intentioned debunking efforts might have been counterproductive. He also discusses the "FLICC" framework – a set of five techniques (Fake experts, Logical fallacies, Impossible expectations, Cherry picking, and Conspiracy theories) that cut across all forms of misinformation, from the denial of global heating to vaccine hesitancy, and more. Additionally, John's research reveals a counterintuitive truth: our tribal identities matter more than our political beliefs in determining what science we accept – yet our aversion to being tricked is bipartisan. When it comes to reaching a shared understanding of the world, why does every conversation matter – regardless of whether it ends in agreement? When attacks on science have shifted from denying findings to attacking solutions and scientists themselves, are we fighting yesterday's battle with outdated communication strategies? And while we can't eliminate motivated reasoning (to which we're all susceptible), how can we work around it by teaching people to recognize how they're being misled, rather than just telling them what to believe? About John Cook: John Cook is a Senior Research Fellow at the Melbourne Centre for Behaviour Change at the University of Melbourne. He is also affiliated with the Center for Climate Change Communication as adjunct faculty. In 2007, he founded Skeptical Science, a website which won the 2011 Australian Museum Eureka Prize for the Advancement of Climate Change Knowledge and 2016 Friend of the Planet Award from the National Center for Science Education. John also created the game Cranky Uncle, combining critical thinking, cartoons, and gamification to build resilience against misinformation, and has worked with organizations such as Facebook, NASA, and UNICEF to develop evidence-based responses to misinformation. John co-authored the college textbooks Climate Change: Examining the Facts with Weber State University professor Daniel Bedford. He was also a coauthor of the textbook Climate Change Science: A Modern Synthesis and the book Climate Change Denial: Heads in the Sand. Additionally, in 2013, he published a paper analyzing the scientific consensus on climate change that has been highlighted by President Obama and UK Prime Minister David Cameron. He also developed a Massive Open Online Course in 2015 at the University of Queensland on climate science denial, that has received over 40,000 enrollments.

After decades of faithfully serving as Vice President for Advancement at Indiana Wesleyan University, Terry Munday has seen firsthand how generosity, obedience, and relationships shape both institutions and eternal lives. In this compelling conversation, Terry reflects on a calling that led him from public education into Christian higher education fundraising, often requiring personal sacrifice, long-term trust, and spiritual courage. Through stories marked by humor, heartbreak, and unmistakable miracles, he reveals how fundraising, when rooted in faith, becomes far more than raising money. It becomes ministry.
I'm honoured to introduce my long-time role model, Professor Ruth Halperin-Kaddari, a legal scholar and internationally recognized advocate for women's rights. We talk about her pioneering work documenting sexual violence during the October 7th attacks in Israel through the DINA Project, and how she has worked to ensure survivors' experiences are recognized and addressed on both a national and international level. We also delve into her decades-long efforts to advance women's rights in Israel, particularly through the Ruth and Emmanuel Rackman Center for the Advancement of the Status of Women. Ruth explains how the center combines legal aid, advocacy, and research to support women navigating family law and divorce, while pushing for broader systemic change. In spite of a system she feels is broken, Ruth is hopeful and persevering in her work from within legal and religious systems to create lasting impact. This episode is a fascinating look at courage, leadership, and the ongoing fight for gender justice in Israel and beyond. This podcast is powered by LSJS.

In this episode, we are honored to welcome Dr. John Z. Sadler, one of the most influential figures at the intersection of psychiatry, ethics, and philosophy. For more than four decades, Dr. Sadler has shaped the intellectual and moral foundations of psychiatric diagnosis, values-based practice, and clinical ethics consultation.Dr. Sadler is the Daniel W. Foster, MD Professor of Medical Ethics and Professor of Psychiatry and Clinical Sciences at UT Southwestern Medical Center, where he directs the Program in Ethics in Science & Medicine and leads the Division of Ethics in the Department of Psychiatry. He has served on the Parkland Hospital Ethics Committee since 1985 and was its co-chair and clinical ethics consultant for three decades—bringing philosophical inquiry directly into the realities of patient care.A co-founder of the Association for the Advancement of Philosophy and Psychiatry and longtime co-editor of Philosophy, Psychiatry, & Psychology, Dr. Sadler has helped define an entire field of scholarship. He is the author of Values and Psychiatric Diagnosis and the recently published Vice and Psychiatric Diagnosis, co-author of The Virtuous Psychiatrist, and editor of multiple definitive reference works including the Oxford Handbook of Philosophy and Psychiatry, the Oxford Handbook of Psychiatric Ethics, and the Oxford Handbook of Psychotherapy Ethics.In this wide-ranging conversation, we explore why philosophy matters in everyday psychiatric practice, from how values shape diagnostic systems like the DSM and ICD, to the ethical tensions that arise in clinical care. Dr. Sadler reflects on the virtues essential to modern psychiatrists, how trainees can cultivate conceptual competence, and where the philosophy of psychiatry is headed globally. The result is both an intellectual masterclass and a thoughtful meditation on what psychiatry is, and what it ought to be.Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/cruen/city-streetsLicense code: 2JJVCBQKEE2GJH5N
In the decades after becoming the first Black US citizen to receive his PhD from Harvard, W.E.B. Du Bois helped transform sociology from theory and speculation to a social science rooted in rigorous methodology and hard data. But despite conducting groundbreaking research, particularly on the lives of Black people, Du Bois chose to leave the academy and become an activist, co-founding the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. What inspired him to make the change? And what can we learn today from Du Bois's research, his writing, and his life during our own time of white backlash? The Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer David Levering Lewis joins us for part two of our look at the life of the early 20th century's leading intellectual and spokesperson for Black liberation. (A word of caution: Several minutes into the show, Professor Levering Lewis describes an episode of racist violence. We have preserved that portion of the conversation, rather than editing it out, because it describes a turning point in Du Bois's life and career.)

Higher education's reputation is being shaped by a familiar set of headlines: rising costs, political pressure, campus conflict, layoffs, and closures. It's the story we keep hearing, and it's loud.But in this episode, we ask: is that the story most people actually believe?In the first episode of this five-part Pulse Check series, host Day Kibilds is joined by Doug Edwards, Chief Strategy Officer at Ologie, and Dr. Cassie Dutton, Research Director at Ologie, to introduce The Reputation Rethink, Ologie's national study on public perception of higher education.Together, they define what “reputation” really means in this research, explain who was included and why, and share the study's most encouraging (and challenging) insight: people believe colleges and universities contribute real value to society beyond educating students, but they struggle to see that impact in their everyday lives. This episode sets the foundation for the five specific areas institutions can address to close that gap and reconnect with the public.Host - Dayana Kibilds (LinkedIn)With 15 years of experience, Dayana Kibilds has led award-winning work with universities around the world.

This Day in Legal History: NAACP FoundedOn February 12, 1909, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) was founded in New York City. Sparked by ongoing racial violence, including the 1908 Springfield Race Riot in Illinois, a group of Black and white activists came together to launch an interracial effort to combat racial injustice. The NAACP would become the most influential civil rights organization in the United States, pursuing its goals through strategic litigation, public education, and advocacy.In its early years, the NAACP focused heavily on using the courts to challenge discriminatory laws and practices, particularly in education and voting. It played a pivotal role in Brown v. Board of Education (1954), the landmark Supreme Court case that declared racial segregation in public schools unconstitutional. Through its Legal Defense Fund—established in 1940 and headed for a time by Thurgood Marshall, who would later become the first Black U.S. Supreme Court Justice—the organization spearheaded a range of major civil rights cases.Beyond litigation, the NAACP was instrumental in pushing for anti-lynching laws, though federal anti-lynching legislation would take over a century to pass. The group's efforts laid the legal and political foundation for the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s. Its influence continues today as it monitors civil rights violations and advocates for racial justice nationwide.Tom Goldstein, a prominent U.S. Supreme Court advocate and co-founder of SCOTUSblog, testified in his own defense during his federal criminal tax trial in Maryland. Goldstein, accused of failing to report millions in poker winnings and misrepresenting debts on mortgage applications, told jurors he never intended to violate the law. He admitted omitting gambling debts to keep them hidden from his wife, and claimed he relied on accountants and firm managers for financial reporting. The trial, overseen by Judge Lydia Griggsby, has drawn attention for its mix of high-stakes legal and poker worlds. Goldstein is alleged to have reported only $27 million of $50 million in poker winnings to the IRS in 2016. He also faces allegations of channeling improper payments through his former law firm and requesting a $500,000 payment from actor Tobey Maguire be sent to a third party to cover personal debts. Maguire, a witness in the trial, is not accused of any misconduct. The defense has called more than a dozen witnesses, including IRS agents, poker players, and law firm executives. Goldstein retired from Supreme Court advocacy in 2023 after arguing over 40 cases. The trial continues with prosecutors set to cross-examine him following his testimony.Supreme Court lawyer Tom Goldstein takes stand at his criminal tax trial | ReutersAttorney General Pam Bondi faced sharp criticism from lawmakers during a House Judiciary Committee hearing over the Justice Department's handling of files related to Jeffrey Epstein. Representative Thomas Massie accused Bondi of deliberately concealing the names of powerful individuals connected to Epstein, including billionaire Leslie Wexner, whose name was initially redacted in an FBI document. Bondi countered that Wexner's name had already been made public in other documents and was quickly unredacted once flagged. Lawmakers across the aisle expressed frustration over what they called excessive and unjustified redactions, despite a federal law passed in November mandating broad disclosure of the Epstein files.Bondi defended the department's efforts, highlighting the work of over 500 lawyers on a tight timeline, and insisted any release of victims' identities was accidental. She repeatedly praised President Donald Trump during the hearing and criticized Democratic members, accusing them of political theatrics. Her confrontational style sparked further tension, especially when she refused to apologize to Epstein's victims seated in the gallery, deflecting the request by referencing past administrations. The hearing reflects the ongoing controversy surrounding the Justice Department's approach to transparency, its alignment with Trump-era politics, and the public's demand for accountability in the Epstein investigation.US lawmakers accuse Bondi of hiding names of Epstein associates | ReutersThe Law School Admission Council (LSAC) announced that beginning August 2026, the LSAT will no longer be available online, citing rising concerns over cheating. The move comes after a period of hybrid testing, introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic, which allowed examinees to choose between in-person and remote formats. While remote testing will still be permitted in limited cases involving medical or geographic hardships, the default will now be in-person testing at designated centers. LSAC emphasized that the shift is meant to enhance test integrity and deter misconduct, which has become a growing concern—particularly after the organization suspended online testing in China due to reports of systemic cheating.Industry professionals, including LSAT prep company leaders, supported the decision, noting that online platforms made it easier for cheating rings to exploit the system through tactics like using cameras to capture test content or remotely accessing test takers' computers. Some cheating services reportedly charged thousands of dollars to help candidates gain an unfair advantage. LSAC added that technical difficulties also played a role in the change, with most scoring delays stemming from remote testing issues. On the January 2026 exam, 61% of test takers opted for in-person testing, suggesting a trend back toward traditional methods.US law school admissions test ends online option over cheating concerns | Reuters This is a public episode.

Unfortunately, most of the focus is on symptom suppression or palliation—without asking the deeper question: why is the body reacting this way in the first place?We explore how homeopathy approaches autoimmunity differently—and why Samuel Hahnemann was already grappling with these questions long before the term autoimmune disease existed.Whether you're new to homeopathy, living with an autoimmune condition, or considering formal study, this episode invites you to slow down, think critically, and reconsider what true healing asks of both practitioner and client.Strange, Rare & Peculiar is a weekly podcast with Denise Straiges and Alastair Gray of the Institute for the Advancement of Homeopathy and the Academy of Homeopathy Education.This season, we're focusing on truth — what it means to Aude Sapere (“dare to know”) in homeopathy today. From Hahnemann's original insights to the realities of modern practice, research, and education, Denise and Alastair bring over 50 years of experience to conversations that challenge assumptions and invite curiosity.

Erin Moser serves as Chief Advancement Officer at Musana Community Development Organization, where her calling grew from a simple act of generosity into a lifelong commitment to dignifying, sustainable impact. After encountering Musana's founder through a local church, Erin and her family began supporting the work quietly. However, it was travelling to Uganda and witnessing firsthand how God was using local leadership, not Western charity, to restore communities that reshaped her understanding of generosity, stewardship, and what lasting faith-driven impact can look like on the ground. Today, Erin helps advance Musana's enterprise-driven model, where schools, hospitals, women's training centers, and businesses work together to address poverty at its roots. Rather than creating dependence, Musana invests in infrastructure that becomes locally owned, locally led, and financially sustainable. Erin shares hard lessons learned along the way, the importance of humility in giving, and why stewardship means deploying resources wisely so communities can flourish long after outside support steps back. Listen to this episode to reconsider how faith, generosity, and wise stewardship can multiply impact through local ownership and trust in God's design. Major Topics Include: Moving from charity to dignifying partnership Local ownership as the path to lasting impact Addressing poverty through job creation Infrastructure over programs for sustainability Humility in learning across cultures Letting communities lead their own solutions Measuring success beyond short-term outcomes QUOTES TO REMEMBER “Orphanages create orphans.” “Generosity should be catalytic. It should restore dignity, not take it away.” “How dignifying is it to a parent to say, you can't provide for your own child, so let someone from the West do it for you?” “We have to stop imposing our Western ideals and learn together with what actually works in their landscape.” “Faithful stewardship isn't about how much we give, but how we intentionally deploy what God has entrusted to us.” “We don't run programs. We build infrastructure.” “Economists say no developing country will ever lift itself out of poverty by charity alone.” “Once we got on the ground, we realized how insignificant we were to the solution.” “They didn't need us as much as we needed them.” “The locals are the heroes of their own story.” “God just kept putting one simple step in front of the other.” “It started with saying yes, and the understanding came later.” “God doesn't call us to preserve our resources. He calls us to put them to work.” LINKS FROM THE SHOW Musana Community Development Organization BIBLE REFERENCES FROM THE SHOW Zechariah 4:10 | Faithful Small Beginnings “For whoever has despised the day of small things shall rejoice, and shall see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel.” Matthew 25:14–30 | Stewardship of Entrusted Resources Matthew 6:1–4 | Heart Posture in Giving Mark 12:41–44 | The Widow's Offering TAKE A STEP DEEPER On the Finish Line podcast, we are all about stories, seeing how God draws us into generosity over a lifetime. But sometimes these stories can leave us thinking, “What's that next step look like for me?” That's exactly why we've launched a whole new podcast called Applied Generosity which explores the full landscape of the generous life across 7 different dimensions of generosity. Applied Generosity helps make sense of the hundreds of stories we've shared on the Finish Line Podcast to help you find that best next step. If you've been inspired by these stories and want to take things to the next level, check out Applied Generosity anywhere you listen to podcasts or at appliedgenerosity.com.

Barbara Marx Hubbard (born Barbara Marx; December 22, 1929 – April 10, 2019), American futurist, author, and public speaker. She is credited with The Wheel of Co-Creation 2.0 and concepts of "The Synergy Engine"[1] and the "birthing" of humanity.[2] Early life and education A Jewish agnostic,[3] Barbara Marx was the first of four children of Irene (née Saltzman) and Louis Marx, a toy maker. In her youth she attended the Dalton School in New York City. She studied at L'Ecole des Sciences Politiques at La Sorbonne in Paris during her junior year of college,[4] and received a B.A. cum laude in Political Science from Bryn Mawr College in 1951.[5] In 1951, as well, she married artist Earl Hubbard, whom she'd met in Paris in 1949. They settled in Connecticut and started a family. Career As an author, speaker, and co-founder and president of the Foundation for Conscious Evolution, Hubbard posited that humanity was on the threshold of a quantum leap if newly emergent scientific, social, and spiritual capacities were integrated to address global crises.[citation needed] She was the author of seven books on social and planetary evolution. In conjunction with the Shift Network, she co-produced the worldwide "Birth 2012" multimedia event.[6] She was the subject of a biography by author Neale Donald Walsch, The Mother of Invention: The Legacy of Barbara Marx Hubbard and the Future of "YOU".[7] Deepak Chopra called her "the voice for conscious evolution".[8] Hubbard was an American modern-day female futurist. Throughout her life, she had questioned what would make life easier as well as make people happy. For Hubbard, she did not like the molds that were expected out of herself as well as others, and in the 1970s she started speaking at futurist conferences about her findings. Those aided in her interest to the movement and resulted in her attending, speaking at, and creating conferences. With that, she dedicated her life to sharing the potential today's modern world has in achieving a better society and came up with the idea of "birthing" humanity.[9] In 1998, she had written and published a successful book titled “Conscious Evolution: Awakening the Power of Our Social Potential".[10] which was about her futurist ideas in making a better society as well as focusing on what the conscious mind can do if it is aware of its power. Hubbard went as far as creating her own organization called the Committee for the Future and later created others such as Women of Vision in Action, The Alliance for the Advancement of Conscious Evolution as well as 7 others.[11] Hubbard helped set modern futurism into momentum and took measures to make sure the ideas continued beyond her.[12] She also co-chaired a number of Soviet-American Citizen Summits, introducing a new concept called "SYNCON" to foster synergistic convergence with opposing groups. In addition, she co-founded the World Future Society, and the Association for Global New Thought.[13] Personal life and death Hubbard's daughter Alexandra Morton is a marine biologist and her sister Patricia Ellsberg was married to the Pentagon Papers whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg.[14] Hubbard fell ill with knee swelling on April 3, 2019, and was taken to the Medical Center of the Rockies in Loveland, Colorado, to receive treatment. She was later sent to the hospital emergency room. On April 6, a doctor reported that she had not woken from treatment easily and her condition continued to worsen. On April 8, Hubbard expressed that she was preparing to leave and died on April 10.[15]
Parents are exhausted. When did raising children become such all-consuming, never-ending, incredibly expensive, and emotionally absorbing effort? In this eye-opening book, Nina Bandelj explains how we got to this point--how we turned children into financial and emotional investments and child-rearing into laborious work. At the turn of the twentieth century, children went from being economically useful, often working to support families, to being seen by their parents as vulnerable and emotionally priceless. In the new millennium, however, parents have become overinvested in the emotional economy of parenting. Analyzing in-depth interviews with parents, national financial datasets, and decades of child-rearing books, Bandelj reveals how parents today spend, save, and even go into debt for the sake of children. They take on parenting as the hardest but most important job, and commit their entire selves to being a good parent. The economization and emotionalization of society work together to drive parental overinvestment, offering a dizzying array of products and platforms to turn children into human capital--from financial instruments to extracurricular programs to therapeutic parenting advice. And yet, Bandelj warns, the privatization of child-rearing and devotion of parents' monies, emotions, and souls ultimately hurt the well-being of children, parents, and society. Overinvested: The Emotional Economy of Modern Parenting (Princeton UP, 2026) offers a compelling argument that we should reimagine children and what it means to raise them. Nina Bandelj is Chancellor's Professor in the Department of Sociology at the University of California, Irvine, and past president of the Society for the Advancement of Socio-Economics.

In this episode of the Strange Rare Peculiar podcast, Denise and Al tune in from New Zealand to talk about the rise and fall of homeopathy in Australia—and why it's a lesson for us all.They look back at a time when Australian homeopathy was genuinely thriving: busy urban practices, families using care routinely, insurance reimbursement, and multiple schools training practitioners—and what changed it. And like Flexner, it's not what most people think.If you care about the future of homeopathy, give this episode a listen!Strange, Rare & Peculiar is a weekly podcast with Denise Straiges and Alastair Gray of the Institute for the Advancement of Homeopathy and the Academy of Homeopathy Education.This season, we're focusing on truth — what it means to Aude Sapere (“dare to know”) in homeopathy today.

On this episode of Transmission Interrupted, host Jill Morgan is joined by Dr. Steven Bradfute from the University of New Mexico and Dr. Gabby Frank from Johns Hopkins University to shine a light on hantavirus—a pathogen that often lurks on the edges of our collective radar. From mice in cacti to Four Corners outbreaks and the mystery of why some exposures become critical illnesses while others go unnoticed, our guests unpack the science, history, and uncertainties surrounding hantavirus. You'll learn how these viruses are spread, why symptoms can escalate so quickly, and what clinicians should be on the lookout for (hint: it's all about a great medical history!). Dr. Gabby Frank and Dr. Steven Bradfute also share practical advice for healthcare providers and anyone with a garage or cabin to clean out, explain why “suiting up” with PPE matters, and explore why preventing exposure is still our best defense—since, unfortunately, there's no cure yet. If you've ever wondered about rodent-borne diseases, what really happened in Patagonia, or the science behind cleaning up mouse droppings, tune in for an eye-opening discussion packed with real-life clinical pearls, expert insights, and a few unexpected laughs.

Dr. Dave Jackson is Professor of Plant Genetics at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. Dave is driven to understand what makes plants grow and why various types of plants look different from each other. His research examines how genes control plant shapes, including investigations into the role of genetics and stem cells. The long-term goal is to turn this foundational knowledge into tools that can improve agriculture. Outside the lab, Dave works to keep a healthy balance by getting outdoors to go hiking, backpacking, and camping. He also dedicates time to art and music, which are abundant in New York City. Dave loves supporting emerging artists and musicians, particularly bio-art and jazz music. Artistic creativity is a lot like the creative process in science. He's especially excited by how artists can translate scientific ideas into forms that feel more accessible and inviting to the public. He obtained his bachelor's degree in biotechnology from the University of Leeds and was awarded his PhD from the John Innes Institute. Afterwards, Dave conducted research as a NATO and USDA Postdoctoral Fellow at the Plant Gene Expression Center in Berkeley, CA, before joining the faculty at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in 1997. He was elected as a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in 2018. In our interview, Dave shares more about his life and science.

In this episode, we continue our journey through Philippians by studying Philippians 1:12–18. As Paul writes from confinement under Roman authority, he reframes his circumstances not as a setback, but as a means by which the gospel advances. We explore how Paul's imprisonment emboldened other believers, exposed mixed motives within ministry, and ultimately revealed a mature joy rooted not in fairness or freedom, but in Christ being proclaimed.The pursuit in this passage calls us to trust God's work beyond our control and to redefine success as gospel faithfulness rather than personal comfort or recognition.Please leave a comment or review for this episode to help us share this content with others!

Her work reflects a career-long commitment to creativity, collaboration, and redefining inclusion in practice.Cynthia Torp is the sole owner of Solid Light and has supervised the creation of unforgettable visitor experiences for museums, corporations, non-profits, universities, and visitor centers for over 40 years. Her expertise in storytelling coupled with her mastery of design and fabrication have helped her make an indelible mark on the museum and cultural world.We talk about: - We unpack the meaning of “nothing about us, without us” and how the project team reworked traditional project management to support inclusive reviews from blind and low-vision stakeholders. Cynthia shares how prototyping and focus groups continuously challenged the team's design assumptions.- Jo walks us through the creation of tactile replicas of archival objects, revealing how user feedback reshaped scale, detail, and mounting to produce touch-based experiences that are durable while being intuitive, dignified, and deeply meaningful. - We dive deep into the design systems behind the museum, exploring how Solid Light balanced redundancy through tactile graphics, Braille, audio narration, QR codes, ASL, captions, visual descriptions, along with architectural tools like flooring, wayfinding, tactile maps, and high contrast graphics.- The episode challenges architects and designers to rethink accessibility and sets The Dot Experience as a precedent for inclusive museum and exhibit design.>>>Connect with Jo and Cynthia of The Dot Experience: The Dot Experience Website: https://thedotexperience.org/Solid Light Website: https://solidlight-inc.com/work/american-printing-house-for-the-blind/American Printing House for the Blind LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/american-printing-house-for-the-blind/KET's NewsWAVE 3 NewsSpectrum News 1Museum Magazine>>>Thank you to our Sponsor:Arcol is a collaborative building design tool built for modern teams.

Homeopathy is growing —and that's a good thing. But growth raises real questions. In episode 106 of the SRP podcast, Denise and Alastair dive into Aphorism 9 and Hahnemann's definition of health to explore how homeopathy is being used, taught, and shared today. They reflect on the appeal of simplified approaches—protocols, shortcuts, and single-symptom-focused prescribing—and ask what happens when homeopathy is simplified for speed, scale, and market appeal.We're calling the community into a thoughtful conversation about how we carry this medicine forward without losing what makes it whole.Here's the link for the culmination of Aphorism Friday, a weekly special production of 1M a Homeopath's Podcast by Kelly Callahan we referenced. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/1m-podcast-presents-the-organon/id1635602485Where homeopathy lives and breathes.Strange, Rare & Peculiar is a weekly podcast with Denise Straiges and Alastair Gray of the Institute for the Advancement of Homeopathy and the Academy of Homeopathy Education.This season, we're focusing on truth — what it means to Aude Sapere (“dare to know”) in homeopathy today. From Hahnemann's original insights to the realities of modern practice, research, and education, Denise and Alastair bring over 50 years of experience to conversations that challenge assumptions and invite curiosity.

Ken McCarthy returns to the podcast to tackle a subject that affects every American: the quiet collapse of modern medicine. In this episode, we dive into Ken's new book, Diabolical Errors: The Strange and Unsettling History of Vaccine Science, a deeply researched examination of how the U.S. healthcare system reached its current breaking point. Why is the country now marked by chronic disease epidemics, shrinking doctor–patient time, worsening maternal and infant outcomes, and an ever-expanding reliance on pharmaceutical interventions? Ken joins us to explain… Ken challenges the long-held assumption that mass medical mandates are grounded in clear, settled science. Instead, he argues that institutional authority has increasingly replaced genuine scientific inquiry, leaving patients with fewer choices, worse outcomes, and little room to ask fundamental questions. In this conversation, we explore: What history tells us about the current state of the medical system. How the American medical system became so expensive, bureaucratic, and ineffective. Why chronic and metabolic diseases are exploding despite advanced care. How fear, incentives, and coercion shape medical policy. Whether there is a realistic path forward for patients and practitioners alike. Drawing on decades of experience as an Internet pioneer, researcher, and systems thinker, Ken connects the dots between information control, institutional corruption, and the erosion of medical trust. If you're ready to question assumptions and examine how we got here, this discussion is for you! To learn more about Ken McCarthy and his work, click here.
