Mary Fusillo is a registered nurse and founder of Family Solutions International, with decades of experience in infertility care, egg donation, surrogacy, and third-party reproduction. Her work focuses on ethical fertility practices, patient advocacy, and helping families navigate complex reproductive decisions with clarity and care. Mary M. Fusillo, RN, BSN, MS is the founder and CEO of Family Solutions International. Mary was introduced to the area of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility while facing her own challenge of having children. As the Clinical Nursing Director of an Infertility clinic in Houston, she was instrumental in starting the Donor Egg program and recruiting their first donors. This program went from one donor in the Fall of 1999 to over 120 in 2004. Moving to the greater Washington, D.C. area, Mary becomes the Clinical Infertility Nursing Director at one of the oldest and most prestigious infertility clinics in the United States. With over 200 cycles of donor egg per year, managing donors and recipients while introducing new recruitment methods was a challenge. Recruited by one of the largest Pharmacy Benefit Management companies to run their Donor Egg pharmacy program, she traveled all over the country, consulting large and small clinics on issues that affect egg donation nationwide. She is a member of the Nurses Professional Group of the American Society of Reproductive Medicine, a former National Board Member of RESOLVE, Inc., as well as a member of ASRM and ESHRE. Her volunteer work in the field of infertility led her to found “Donor Moms, a network of support for mothers via egg donation”. In 2007 Mary started The Donor Solution. On August 14, 2007, the website went live, and she started recruiting donors, and the company had its first match in October 2007. She started with only 19 donors but a short time later she had recruited 100's of screened donors to meet a burgeoning need for alternatives to the small donor pools found in IVF clinics.  After feeling like The Donor Solution was doing well, Mary launched 3 Sisters Surrogacy in 2012, because she saw a need for people who needed both donor eggs and surrogacy. In 2018,Mary put The Donor Solution and 3 Sisters Surrogacy under the Family Solutions International umbrella as a bridge to the domestic and international community. In 2020, she started The Fertility Consultants with the mission to assist intended parents in navigating the challenges of 3rd Party reproduction and finally merged all the companies together under the FSI umbrella. In the fall of 2019, Mary started a Ph.D. program in bioethics, over her 25+ years of infertility and 35 years in healthcare, she was constantly confronted with moral and ethical issues. Even now, a single embryo transfer is fraught with issues of people wanting twins. She decided to get her Ph.D. in bioethics because she wanted to understand the ethical aspects of this biological field deeper and felt there needed to be an ethicist who had a very deep background in infertility.

Religious identities have shifted dramatically in the last quarter century. But how, and it what ways? Is religion as we once knew it dying in the U.S.? Or are people finding other ways of expressing the same kinds of needs for affiliation and meaning in different forms? What do people really mean when they say they are spiritual but not religious? Or religious but not affiliated with any traditional communities or institutions?This panel discussion, held on October 25, 2025, centered around what recent trends might tell us about the future of faith and belonging in American life.

"The critical period of cover crop management: A framework for maximizing biomass potential and minimizing volunteers with buckwheat" with Dr. Andrew McKenzie-Gopsill Buckwheat can be a powerful driver of ecosystem services in potato rotations grown in Canada, but with its long-lived seeds and ability to make a whole lot of them in a short time, it can also pose a serious volunteer problem. In this episode, Andrew joins me to discuss how creating a framework to reduce volunteers can help keep this helpful plant from turning into a fearsome weed. Tune in to learn: ·         How potato farming is done in Canada ·         What ecosystem services buckwheat provides ·         What qualities can turn buckwheat from a helpful crop to a difficult to control weed ·         How combining tools from weed management can help keep buckwheat under control If you would like more information about this topic, this episode's paper is available here: https://doi.org/10.1002/agj2.70097 This paper is always freely available.

 Fertility Docs Uncensored is hosted by Dr. Carrie Bedient from the Fertility Center of Las Vegas, Dr. Susan Hudson from Texas Fertility Center, and Dr. Abby Eblen from Nashville Fertility Center with special guest Lauren Makler, Founder of Cofertility. In this episode of Fertility Docs Uncensored, the Docs welcome back Lauren Makler for a deeper dive into how to choose an egg donor—and why selecting a reputable, ethical organization matters. Lauren explains that not all donor agencies operate with the same standards, so intended parents should ensure the group they partner with strictly follows guidelines set by the American Society for Reproductive Medicine. These include essential criteria such as donor age (typically 21–34) and comprehensive medical, psychological, and lifestyle screening. Lauren also highlights a recent study showing that donors over age 25 often have better outcomes, potentially due to increased emotional maturity and readiness for the medical demands of the process. She emphasizes the importance of reviewing a donor's anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) level to predict egg yield and notes that nicotine, marijuana, and excessive alcohol use can disqualify a donor because of their impact on fertility. Further screening, including family medical history and genetic carrier testing, ensures compatibility between donor and intended parents. The Cofertility team recognizes that families have different pathways; some prioritize speed and choose frozen donor eggs, while others prefer to wait for the ideal donor match. Cofertility enhances this process by offering donor videos, giving families a more personal connection beyond written profiles so that both parties have the best possible experience. This podcast was sponsored by Cofertility.

"It's off the record until it's on the page." That's a line from our As Told To podcast conversation with award-winning author/ghostwriter Joanne Gordon, reflecting on the level of trust that exists between author and subject in a successful book collaboration. A former staff writer and contributing editor at Forbes, where she wrote about management, career, and workplace issues, Joanne is the author of more than a dozen books, with a focus on helping business and thought leaders elevate their voices and share their stories. She is the co-author, most recently, of Bag Man: The Story Behind the Improbable Rise of Coach, written with former Coach CEO Lew Frankfort—"an illuminating behind-the-scenes look at a global brand's success," according to Publishers Weekly. Joanne has also helped to write books for Ginni Rometty, the former Chairman and CEO of IBM, and Howard Schultz, the founding Chairman and CEO of Starbucks. Her first collaboration, Roadtrip Nation: A Guide to Discovering Your Path in Life, written with Mike Mariner and Nathan Gebhard, grew out of an assignment for Forbes and became the basis for a film documentary and a PBS series. Her own book, Be Happy at Work: 100 Women Who Love Their Jobs and Why, explores how women pursue fulfilling careers. In 2024, Joanne was named by The Information as a "Top Five" ghostwriter of business books and was honored by Gotham Ghostwriters and the American Society of Journalists and Authors with an Andy Award for "Best Business and Thought Leadership Collaboration." for her work on the Rometty memoir, Good Power.

This Biotech CEO Wants To Cure Lung Cancer – Maria Zanes President & CEO bioAffinity Technologies BIAF Ticker: BIAF Websitehttps://bioaffinitytech.com/Maria Zannes, Chief Executive Officer, President, and Director, bioAffinity Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: BIAF)BioSince founding bioAffinity Technologies in 2014, Ms. Zannes has built a team of award-winning scientists and executives who are advancing breakthrough diagnostics for lung cancer and other pulmonary diseases. The company's first commercial product, CyPath® Lung, is a noninvasive, accurate test for early-stage lung cancer that has proven to detect the disease as early as Stage 1A when it can be cured. Prior to bioAffinity Technologies, Ms. Zannes founded The Zannes Firm to provide strategic solutions for private industry in the medical, environmental and energy fields. Previously, she was President of the Energy Recovery Council, a national trade group and General Manager of ECOS Corporation, a subsidiary of Burlington Environmental. Earlier in her career, she was a legislative aide to Congressman Charles Wilson (D-TX) after having worked as a journalist for Voice of America and the Associated Press. She has been awarded Lifetime Achievement Awards by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and the Earth Engineering Center Award from Columbia University. Ms. Zannes received her J.D. from the University of Puget Sound in Washington State and is licensed to practice law in New Mexico. bioAffinity Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: BIAF)Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide with an estimated 1.8 million deaths annually. Diagnosing and treating early-stage lung cancer can significantly improve outcomes and increase patient survival. bioAffinity Technologies addresses the urgent need for noninvasive, accurate early-stage lung cancer diagnosis. The Company's lead product, CyPath® Lung, accurately detects early-stage lung cancer in high-risk patients as early as Stage 1A. Using CyPath® Lung as part of the diagnostic pathway can lead to earlier diagnosis, fewer unnecessary invasive procedures, reduced patient anxiety, and lower medical costs for the world's largest cancer killer. CyPath® Lung is sold as a Laboratory Developed Test (LDT) by Precision Pathology Laboratory Services, a bioAffinity Technologies company, and reimbursed by Medicare, private payors and federal healthcare systems, including the VA. CyPath® Lung uses proprietary advanced flow cytometry and artificial intelligence (AI) to detect cancer by analyzing the lung microenvironment. CyPath® Lung incorporates a fluorescent porphyrin that is preferentially taken up by cancer and cancer-related cells. The test demonstrated 92% sensitivity, 87% specificity, and 88% accuracy in individuals with small indeterminate pulmonary nodules that often pose diagnostic challenges. The test provides actionable information for physicians to guide next steps in patient care. Physicians using CyPath® Lung for their high-risk patients have reported multiple case studies in which CyPath® Lung detected lung cancer at Stage 1A when standard imaging, risk calculator models and serum marker tests indicated the nodules were likely benign. Conversely, a negative CyPath® Lung result has spared many patients from unnecessary and sometimes risky invasive procedures, including biopsy.

My guest on the show today is Justin Driver, the Robert R. Slaughter Professor of Law at Yale Law School and, more importantly, an old friend of mine.Among his many recognitions, he was appointed by President Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr. to serve on the Presidential Commission on the Supreme Court of the United States, and is also a recipient of the American Society for Legal History's William Nelson Cromwell Article Prize.He's the author of two books, the first of which was The Schoolhouse Gate: Public Education, the Supreme Court, and the Battle for the American Mind, and the second of which is his new one, and the reason I had him on the show, The Fall of Affirmative Action: Race, the Supreme Court, and the Future of Higher Education.The first time I met Justin, knowing only that he was a law school professor and not what topics he worked on, I said to him, a propos of I'm not sure what, that it felt like the conversation on race in America was kind of passé. It didn't feel, I said, like there was much going on in the intellectual space around race that was very interesting.This was 2009 or 2010, not long before the death of Trayvon Martin and then the birth of BLM, so it was a comically anti-prophetic thing to say. It was also rather insensitive, given that Justin was a young academic planting his flag, in part, in that space. But I don't think it was wrong, precisely. Given Obama's election, there was certainly a ton of words that people were writing about race, and an older generation of important race-focused intellectuals—the Cornel West and Henry Louis Gates types— still working steadily. What there wasn't, and hadn't been for some years, was a figure able to bend the political intellectual discourse around his or her gravitational force on the topic of race. It would soon be Ta-Nehisi Coates, of course, and then a whole explosion of important intellectuals writing about race, including Justin himself. And so it's been my good fortune to have him as a conversation partner these last 15 or so years, and a pleasure to have the chance to talk to him in the context of his new book, which was a surprising reading experience for me, given that I thought, incorrectly, that I had such a good handle on the debate around affirmative action that even reading an expert on the topic might feel gratuitous.

In this episode, podcast co-hosts Dr. Dwight Stoll and Dr. James Grinias talk with Professor Kelly Hines. Dr. Hines is an associate professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Georgia in Athens. She received her B.S. degree in Chemistry from the University of Florida, and then completed the Ph.D. in Chemistry at Vanderbilt University. Her doctoral studies focused on monitoring biomolecular signatures of disease via ion mobility and mass spectrometry techniques, and then she moved on to post-doctoral experiences at two different institutions. The first stop was at the metabolomics resource core at the Mayo Clinic, and the second stop was in the Department of Medicinal Chemistry at the University of Washington School of Pharmacy. Kelly has won several awards in the field of chemical analysis, including recognition as a Female Role Model in Analytical Chemistry by Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, as an Emerging Investigator by the Journal of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry, an ASMS Research Award (which is one of the top honors that young investigators in MS can receive), and very recently was named as the Chemist of the Year by the Northeast Georgia Section of the American Chemical Society. In a wide-ranging conversation, we discuss the early origins of Kelly's interest in science rooted in her opportunity to explore the plant nursery managed by her father, and then her turn from civil engineering to analytical chemistry inspired by an early undergraduate course “Chemistry for Engineers”. We discuss Hines' recent and ongoing work involving the use of ion mobility mass spectrometry (IMS-MS), with pre-separation using chromatography when appropriate, for multi-omics studies, aimed at deeper understanding of the biochemistry of organisms at the metabolite level. We also discuss Kelly's positive experiences developing peer networks through regular attendance at conferences, particularly the American Society for Mass Spectrometry (ASMS) annual meeting, experiences in her second post-doctoral position that inspired her to pursue an academic position, and her approach to mentoring graduate students who show up in her laboratory with diverse backgrounds, interests, and abilities.

​​Join our champion program: mark@themomentumcompany.comAttend a Thriving Leader event: https://thriving-leader-2026.lovable.app/Instagram: @the.momentum.companyLinkedIn: /momentum-companyIn this episode of the Intentional Agribusiness Leader Podcast, Mark Jewell sits down with Amanda De Jong, CEO of the American Society of Farm Managers and Rural Appraisers (ASFMRA) — a nearly 100-year-old organization representing over 2,000 rural land experts across all 50 states.Amanda brings a deeply grounded, refreshing perspective on leadership, one rooted in active listening, stewardship of time, and respect for legacy. From land transitions and farm succession to culture-building inside long-standing institutions, this conversation highlights the often unseen professionals who quietly shape the future of rural America.This episode is not about loud leadership.It's about intentional leadership — the kind that listens first, honors history, and builds for the next generation.Key Takeaways1. Intentional Leadership Starts with ListeningAmanda defines intentionality as being fully present — listening deeply to boards, staff, members, and stakeholders before rushing to solutions. Especially when stepping into a role held for decades, listening isn't passive — it's strategic leadership.2. Time Is the Most Valuable Resource Leaders StewardIf you take someone's time, you owe them your attention. Amanda challenges leaders to end meetings that lack engagement and to stop multitasking their way through conversations. Presence builds trust. Distraction erodes it.3. ASFMRA: The Silent Force Behind Land TransitionFarm managers and rural appraisers often work behind the scenes during some of the most emotional moments families face — death, succession, retirement, and land sale. These professionals ensure land is valued correctly, managed responsibly, and preserved for future generations.4. Land Is Personal and Business — Both Can Be TrueAmanda speaks from lived experience as both a farm kid and a farm wife. Legacy isn't about forcing the next generation into agriculture — it's about stewarding land wisely so future choices remain possible.5. Culture Isn't Fixed — It's FedOrganizational culture is a living system. Amanda emphasizes that culture must be modeled, nurtured, and protected — not “fixed.” Leaders must remove negativity, reward learning, and allow failure without fear.6. The Best Leaders Don't Have All the AnswersStrong leaders surround themselves with trusted advisors — a “kitchen cabinet” — and listen to those with expertise. Leadership is not knowing everything; it's knowing who to listen to.7. Agriculture Needs a New North StarThe old rally cry of “feeding the world” no longer resonates in an age of abundance. Amanda and Mark explore a new calling for agriculture — one rooted in stewardship, distribution, legacy, and thriving rather than survival.Notable Quotes“People want to be heard — and there's usually truth in what they're saying.” – Amanda De Jong“Time is the most precious resource we have. If I take your time, I'm going to listen.” – Amanda De Jong“Culture isn't a thing to fix. It's something you care for.” – Amanda De Jong“The best leaders don't have all the answers — but they listen to the people who do.” – Amanda De Jong“Land carries emotion, history, and responsibility — not just value.” – Mark JewellAction StepsAudit how present you truly are in meetings and conversations.Identify your personal “kitchen cabinet” — trusted advisors you listen to consistently.If navigating land...

Think a great wine grape can't survive where winters drop to minus forty? We sit down with breeder Dr. Harlene Hatterman-Valenti from North Dakota State University to unpack how a young industry, a focused research program, and some stubborn optimism produced two new cultivars built for the northern plains. From the early days of variety trials and policy hurdles to the release of Dakota Primus and Radiant, Harlene shares how hybrid genetics, gritty selection, and clever management turned a hostile climate into an advantage.We dig into the science of cold hardiness: why photoperiod sensitivity matters more than you think, how vines must read shortening days to lay down periderm before sudden freezes, and the three critical windows where cold injury strikes—fall acclimation, deep midwinter lows, and late-winter temperature whiplash. Harlene explains the growth calendar for a North Dakota vineyard with just 130 frost-free days, from delayed pruning and cautious budbreak to early-August veraison and mid-September harvests. Beyond the vineyard, we explore how the state's wine scene found its footing, why regulations evolved to support consistent supply, and how tourism now fuels growth. The conversation closes with what's next: chasing an ultra-cold-hardy red, expanding into table grapes for farmers markets, and celebrating the team effort—students, specialists, and collaborators—that made progress possible. If you're curious about cold-climate viticulture, breeding under polar vortex pressure, or how science builds regional wine identities, this one's for you.Additional information in available in these articles:Complex Plant Process Trait Evaluation Through Decomposition of Higher-order Interaction: A Case Study in Acclimation Responses of Cold-climate Hybrid Grapevine Through Bilinear and Multiway MethodsCold Climate Winegrape Cultivar Sensitivity to Sulfur in the Northern Great Plains Region of the United States‘NDMutant1': A Novel Determinate Interspecific Grapevine for Genetic and Physiological Study and Breeding ApplicationsEnjoyed the conversation?

There can occasionally be uncertainty or lack of clear guidance when an extravasation event occurs, and our objective was to look at this evidence with the expert panel to create a resource to support oncology teams overall. We hope that the guideline can help mitigate harm and improve patient outcomes," Caroline Clark, MSN, APRN, AGCNS-BC, OCN®, EBP-C, director of guidelines and quality at ONS, told Chelsea Backler, MSN, APRN, AGCNS-BC, AOCNS®, VA-BC, oncology clinical specialist at ONS, during a conversation about the ONS/ASCO Guideline on the Management of Antineoplastic Extravasation.

Highlights From This Episode "The focus of this guideline was specifically on intravenous antineoplastic extravasation or when a vesicant or an irritant with vesicant properties leaks out of the vascular space. This can cause an injury to the patient that's influenced by several factors including the specific drug that was involved in the extravasation, whether it was DNA binding, how much extravasated, the affected area, and individual patient characteristics." TS 1:48 "The panel identified and ranked outcomes that mattered most with extravasation. Not surprising, one of the first was tissue necrosis. Like, 'How are we going to prevent tissue necrosis and preserve tissue?' The next were pain, quality of life, delays in cancer treatment: How is an extravasation going to delay cancer treatment that's vital to the patient? Is an extravasation also going to result in hospitalization or additional surgical interventions that would be burdensome to the patient? ... We had a systematic review team that then went in and summarized the data, and the panel applied the grading of recommendations, assessment, development, and evaluation (GRADE) criteria, grading quality of evidence and weighing factors like patient preferences, cost, and feasibility of an intervention. From there, they developed their recommendations." TS 7:35 "The panel, from the onset, wanted to make sure we had something visual for our readers to reference. They combined evidence from the systematic review, other scholarly sources, and their real-world clinical experience to make this one-page supplementary algorithm. They wanted it to be comprehensive and easy to follow, and they included not only those acute management steps but also guidance on 'How do I document this and what are the objective and subjective assessment factors to look at? What am I going to tell the patient?' In practice, for use of that, I would compare it to your current processes and identify any gaps to inform policies in your individual organizations." TS 16:34 "The guidelines don't take place of clinician expertise; they're not intended to cover every situation, but a situation that keeps coming up that we should talk about as a limitation, is we're seeing these case reports of tissue injury with antibody–drug conjugate extravasation. There's still not enough evidence to inform care around the use of antidotes with those agents, so this still needs to be addressed on a case-by-case basis. We still need publication of those case studies, what was done, and outcomes to help inform direction." TS 19:24 "Beyond the acute management is to ensure thorough documentation regarding extravasation. Whether you're on electronic documentation or on paper, are the prompts there for the nurse to capture all of the factors that should be captured regarding that extravasation? The size, the measurement, the patient's complaints. Is there redness? Things like that. And then within the teams, everyone should know where to find that initial extravasation assessment so that later on, if they're in a different clinic, they have something to go by to see how the extravasation is healing or progressing. ... I think there's an importance here, too, to our novice oncology nurses and their preceptors. This could be anxiety-provoking for the whole team and the patient, so we want to increase confidence in management. So, I think using these resources for onboarding novice oncology nurses is important." TS 22:34

Plan sponsors must still monitor and fulfill their duties, even when delegating to these fiduciaries.Reading service agreements and using checklists clarifies who does what and prevents misunderstandings. Tools like the ARA TPA Checklist help sponsors ask better questions and assess compliance partners effectively.Pooled Employer Plans (PEPs) can expand access but may introduce higher costs, operational complexity, and exit challenges. Sponsors should weigh total cost, services, and fiduciary responsibilities when choosing between PEPs and standalone plans.New benefits managers and advisors benefit from targeted education and responsive compliance partners. Continuous learning and relationship-building ensure fiduciary effectiveness and confident plan management.“Your fiduciary duties are not gone. You are still submitting contributions, you are still supposed to be monitoring your 3(16) fiduciary, you're still supposed to be checking to make sure things are done properly.” - Shannon EdwardsConnect with Shannon Edwards:Website: https://www.tristarpension.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shannonedwardsplanconsultant/ Connect with Eric Dyson: Website: https://90northllc.com/Phone: 940-248-4800Email: contact@90northllc.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/401kguy/ The information and content of this podcast are general in nature and are provided solely for educational and informational purposes.

The episode features a conversation with Dr. Obed Magny, a former Sacramento police officer and co-founder of the American Society of Evidence-Based Policing. He discusses emotional intelligence and its importance in policing, including how it can help officers de-escalate tense situations by reading the room and managing their own emotions. Magny shares how he would use emotional intelligence tactics like distracting arguing parties or engaging with them in unexpected ways to diffuse domestic disputes. The discussion highlights the lack of training on soft skills like emotional intelligence compared to technical policing skills, and how developing emotional intelligence can benefit police culture and community relations.

Hello my curious archeaogastronomers!Who were the first beer makers? Why did they even made beer in the first place? Can we even find a Civilization to be the clear winner in this "race"?
