Send us Fan MailFor centuries, surgeons have learned by watching other surgeons. But what happens when we can record virtually every movement, every instrument, every decision - and then have AI analyze millions of operations?Could we create a new “language of surgery”? Could AI become a surgical copilot? And as brain-computer interfaces begin generating entirely new forms of neurological data, who ultimately owns the data generated by the human brain?Dr. Daniel Donoho, MD is a pediatric and adult neurosurgeon at Children's National Hospital ( https://appointments.childrensnational.org/provider/daniel-aharon-donoho/2359746 ) and an Assistant Professor of Neurosurgery and Pediatrics at George Washington University ( https://faculty.smhs.gwu.edu/daniel-donoho ).  He is also Co-Founder of the Foundation for Digital Neurosurgery ( https://www.neurosurgery.foundation/ )Dr. Donoho specializes in some of the most challenging conditions encountered in neurosurgery, including brain and spinal tumors, hydrocephalus, Chiari malformation, spina bifida, craniocervical disorders and complex skull-base disease. Dr. Donoho's training includes neurosurgical residency at USC, fellowship training in skull-base and endoscopic surgery at Brigham and Women's Hospital and Massachusetts General Hospital, and pediatric neurosurgery fellowship training at Texas Children's Hospital.Dr. Donoho is also the Founder of the Surgical Data Science Collective ( https://www.surgicalvideo.io/ ), a nonprofit organization building a global ecosystem for collecting, sharing and analyzing surgical data - particularly surgical video - and applying artificial intelligence, machine learning and computer vision to the practice of surgery.Dr. Donoho is also a Principal Investigator on an NIH K23-funded project studying video analysis of neurosurgical technical performance and adverse events, and his academic work encompasses AI, computer vision and data science in surgery.There is also a fascinating global-health dimension to Dr. Donoho's work.Through the Surgical Data Science Collective, he is interested in using shared surgical data and AI to make expertise more accessible across borders and potentially help surgeons in resource-limited environments learn from procedures performed by experts around the world.On today's show we're going from the operating room, to surgical AI, to brain-computer interfaces, to neural privacy - and ultimately to the question of what technology may be doing to the human brain itself.#DanielDonoho #Neurosurgery #SurgicalAI #ArtificialIntelligence #SurgicalDataScience #ComputerVision #DigitalSurgery #Neurotechnology #BCI #BrainComputerInterface #Neuralink #MedicalAI #HealthcareAI #SurgicalInnovation #FutureOfMedicine #PediatricNeurosurgery #BrainHealth #AI #Surgery #ProgressPotentialAndPossibilitiesSupport the show

This week I sat down with Gloria Xiong, Assistant Professor of Government at Colby College, and Jessica Chen Weiss, the David M. Lampton Professor of China Studies at Johns Hopkins SAIS, to discuss their new Foreign Affairs essay, "How China Found Its Most Potent Weapon: The Real History of Beijing's Rare Earth Dominance." The story everyone tells is one of foresight — a master plan hatched by Deng Xiaoping and now coming to fruition. Gloria and Jessica argue the reality was far messier: reform-era export mania, environmental catastrophe, defiant local governments, scarcity anxiety, and a lesson in chokepoint weaponization that Beijing learned from Washington. Getting the story wrong, they argue, feeds an action-reaction spiral that neither side started and neither fully controls — and with the Busan truce expiring in November, the stakes could hardly be higher.09:31 — "The Middle East has oil, China has rare earths": what Deng Xiaoping actually said, and how a quote got recruited for a story he wasn't telling12:33 — Why the master plan narrative is so irresistible across the partisan spectrum in Washington15:40 — The cheap and dirty origins: reform-era export mania, thousands of small mines, and rare earths sold "at the price of cabbage and dirt"19:06 — The West as co-author of the chokepoint: offshoring the pollution, and the stockpile that was never built21:53 — Beijing's struggle to control its own industry: quotas, "crime rings," and the partially failed 2002 consolidation25:13 — September 2010: what really happened with the "embargo" against Japan, and why Beijing may have learned about it from Japanese customs28:47 — Fans and fire hoses: how bottom-up nationalism can commit Beijing to coercive postures it didn't choose32:13 — The debate inside China after 2010: protectionists versus Hong Feng's warning against using rare earths as "political chips"35:44 — The 2015 WTO ruling: China complied — was it a rule-taker, or did it simply lack the tools to do anything else?38:06 — Learning from Washington: Huawei, the Export Control Law, the China Rare Earth Group, and what distinguishes learning from planning40:24 — The 2022–2024 ledger: what's the evidence for an action-reaction spiral beyond the timeline?44:25 — April 2025: coercion or bureaucratic pileup? Thirty licensing officials and a 74% collapse in magnet exports47:46 — October 2025: the extraterritorial rule that mirrored the Foreign Direct Product Rule, and the Busan truce52:32 — The countdown to November: hawks in both capitals, "mutually assured disruption," and Xi's coming state visit55:29 — The limits of leverage on both sides: yttrium, Japan's diversification, and China's own resource insecurity58:32 — From crime rings to two national champions: has the Wild West been tamed, and are central-local relations "fractured"?01:02:21 — Prescriptions: positive reciprocity, licensing Chinese technology, and managing interdependence rather than escaping it01:05:51 — Everyone else: Myanmar, Congo, Australia, and how Beijing thinks about third countries that don't want to choosePaying It ForwardGloria name-checked Wendy Leutert of Indiana University, who works on the reform and global expansion of China's state-owned enterprises and, with Isaac Kardon, on Chinese investment in global ports; Ning Leng of Georgetown University, author of the award-winning Politicizing Business: How Firms Are Made to Serve the Party State in China; and Ketian Zhang, who has written extensively on Chinese coercion and maritime disputes.Jessica first acknowledged the scholars whose research the essay drew on but couldn't cite in Foreign Affairs: Cory Combs of Trivium China, Arthur Kroeber, Henry Farrell, Duleep Singh, and Julie Klinger. She also flagged Jack Zhang, who runs the Trade War Lab at the University of Kansas, and Kyle Jaros and Sara Newland, who are writing a book on subnational economic statecraft — work that has shaped her thinking on disaggregating what the United States wants, not just what China wants.RecommendationsGloria: Healing the Heart of Democracy by Parker Palmer — a book she first read in a college writing seminar and returned to as she heads back into the classroom.Jessica: The Scientist and the Spy by Mara Hvistendahl, which she uses to close her SAIS seminar on Chinese foreign policy as a reminder about proportionality; and Ann Patchett's new novel Whistler.Kaiser: Wallace Stegner's Angle of Repose, the 1972 Pulitzer winner — a novel about mining camps in the American West and one of the most fully realized characters in American fiction.Also mentioned: Jessica's recent interview with Daniel Kurtz-Phelan on The Foreign Affairs Interview podcast, and her interview in The Monitor, the newsletter of the Carter Center's U.S.-China Perception Monitor.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Sure, most of us are aware that John Quincy Adams was the son of Founding Father John Adams and the sixth POTUS with a long and illustrative career in public service and diplomacy.  Some might even recall that he was the brains behind the Monroe Doctrine, or that he nearly drowned during one of his many multi-hour swims in the Potomac River, or that he is undoubtedly the former president Americans would least likely want to have a beer with, or that he was considered by some to be a freak show.  But all of that's just trivia. More importantly, John Quincy Adams was a prolific writer whose musings and thoughts contain a rich understanding of what America represents and what it means to be an America.  Jeffrey Tyler Syck joins the show to discuss his new book, A Republic of Virtue: The Essays of John Quincy Adams, offering a composite of John Quincy Adams' most impressive political and philosophic writings.   About Jeffrey Tyler Syck Jeffery Tyler Syck is an Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of Pikeville. Tyler's academic research focuses on the development of American democracy and the history of political ideologies. His essays and articles on politics, philosophy, and history have appeared in several public facing publications including Law and Liberty, Persuasion, and the Louisville Courier-Journal. Tyler's academic work has recently been published in the journal Pietas. A native of Pike County Kentucky, Tyler's political thought and writing are strongly shaped by the culture of Appalachia. With their tightly knit communities, the mountains of Appalachia have instilled in him a love of all things local. As such his writing most often advocates for a rejuvenation of local democracy and a renaissance of rural culture. Tyler received a Doctor of Philosophy and Master of Arts in Government from the University of Virginia. He received a Bachelor of Arts in Government and History from Morehead State University where he graduated with honors. His book, A Republic of Virtue: The Essays of John Quincy Adams, is available wherever fine books are sold. You can follow Tyler on Twitter @tylersyck

Sarah Russell picked up a phrase at her new job at Anthropic: a "non-regrettable primitive." It's how she describes the kind of infrastructure she thinks Anthropic should be building in healthcare, and it says a lot about how one of the most closely watched companies in health AI is positioning itself. In this episode, Steve talks with Sarah Russell, MD healthcare and life sciences lead at Anthropic. This conversation comes as Anthropic heads toward what's shaping up to be one of the most anticipated IPOs in years.We cover:What Anthropic is doing in healthcareWhy HIPAA is struggling to keep up with AI agents Where she thinks AI will change care first (it's not where you'd expect!)The two very different bars regulators are weighing AI against, and why the choice matters more than most people realizeThe one piece of advice from her father that still shapes how she builds teams, and what she tells doctors nervous about a career in medicine nowAbout our guest:Sarah currently works on healthcare and life sciences projects at Anthropic. She is particularly passionate about research that explores how to make Claude safer and less confidently wrong. Prior to Anthropic, she was at Google X, an innovation hub at Alphabet, where she learned to lead teams of smart engineers building ML- and LLM-based products. Seeing the earliest version of Google's Med-PaLM summarize a patient chart made her excited about healthcare technology all over again. Prior to Google, she was a CMIO in the VA system and a start-up founder. A graduate of Harvard College and Harvard Medical School, Sarah did her internal medicine residency at MGH and completed an MBA at Wharton. She still practices part-time in Urgent Care at Stanford, where she is an Assistant Professor.⸺

Send me a messageMore supply-chain data does not automatically produce better decisions. Digital systems can expose risk, but they can also reproduce the same governance failures, blind spots and weak assumptions already embedded in the operation.My guests today are Lara Schilling, Assistant Professor of Supply Chain Management at the Technical University of Denmark, and Professor Stefan Seuring, a long-time researcher in sustainable supply chains. Their latest paper used 52 conversations from this podcast as its dataset, examining how technologies including AI, IoT and blockchain connect with supply-chain sustainability and risk.We look at why visibility is only the beginning, why failure stories are so hard to find, and why even academic research can become skewed towards positive outcomes. We also examine what leaders may be missing when indicators look reassuring, what happens when digital investments are judged at implementation rather than over time, and why the question “visibility to whom?” matters more than it first appears.Listen now to understand what separates useful supply-chain visibility from expensive digital capability that fails to improve decisions. If disruption hit tomorrow, would you know where your supply chain was most exposed?

It's a familiar story in many ways. A child is born, and for years afterward is adored and indulged and anchored to home and family. But then the child grows up and starts crossing that long threshold into adulthood. The transition proves—to say the least—a bit turbulent. Now when I say this story is familiar, I don't just mean familiar to us as human beings. After all, a similar story has long played out among our closest cousins, the chimpanzees. My guest today is Dr. Rachna Reddy. Rachna co-directs the longstanding Ngogo Chimpanzee Project in Uganda and is an incoming Assistant Professor of Psychology at the University of California, Berkeley. For more than a decade now, she has been closely observing the chimpanzees at Ngogo—and especially the adolescents. Here Rachna and I talk about why adolescence—in all its intensity—is such a scientifically fascinating life-stage. We sketch the Ngogo research site, home to the largest group of chimpanzees ever studied. We unpack the different stages of chimpanzee life history. We zoom in on chimpanzee adolescence using a variety of different lenses—we talk about greetings, dominance hierarchies, grooming, social rejection, mentorship, deference, patrolling, female dispersal, and more. We discuss the so-called civil war that has taken root at Ngogo. And, finally, we talk about Rachna's in-progress novel (if that's the right word), which tells the story of one chimpanzee's coming of age in immersive detail.   I think you'll enjoy this one, folks. Chimpanzees offer us a kind of parallel universe, a funhouse mirror version of human life—one that is deeply relatable in some ways, and totally alien to us in others. And the parallels and non-parallels are arguably all the more striking in adolescence. But before we get to it, one humble ask: As the new season of Many Minds ramps up, this would be a great time to support the show. You could do this by rating us, writing a review on Apple Podcasts or a comment on Spotify, or by doing the old-fashioned thing of just recommending us to a friend or colleague.

Ultrasound-guided nerve blocks are no longer just a niche skill for fellowship-trained ultrasound specialists—they are a core component of modern multimodal pain management in the ED. Endorsed by ACEP, nerve blocks can offer rapid, targeted pain relief without relying solely on systemic opioids, making everything from rest to imaging and procedural workups significantly more comfortable for patients. Today, Dr. Carlos Mikell, UC Davis Emergency Ultrasound Faculty and nerve block expert, joins us to share why every emergency physician should adopt nerve blocks as part of their practice. We'll break down the top ED blocks, explore innovative indications like genicular nerve blocks for knee pain, and discuss essential safety protocols and how to get started – or become more comfortable – with blocks in your ED. Why Nerve Blocks Belongs in the ED Targeted Relief: Delivers effective, localized pain management as part of a multi-modal pain control approach, sparing patients some of the systemic side effects of opioids. Facilitates ED Workup: Relieves movement-related pain, making imaging, patient transport, and local procedures far easier and more comfortable for the patient. ACEP Endorsement: ACEP's policy statement formalizes ultrasound-guided nerve blocks as an essential skill for all emergency physicians—not just ultrasound fellowship graduates. Analgesia, Not Complete Anesthesia: The goal in the ED is regional analgesia (taking pain down to a manageable, functional level safely) rather than dense, surgical anesthesia. The Most Common ED Nerve Blocks According to data from the National Ultrasound Guided Nerve Block Registry: Fascia Iliaca Plane / Femoral Nerve Block (~36%): Indications: Hip fractures, mid-shaft/distal femur fractures, hip dislocations, and severe thigh trauma. Safety Profile: Highly safe; target plane is centimeters away from the main neurovascular bundle in a easily compressible site. Erector Spinae Plane (ESP) Block: Indications: Back pain, renal colic, shingles, and rib fractures. Forearm Blocks (Median, Ulnar, Radial): Indications: Distal forearm fractures, complex lacerations, and hand procedures. Serratus Anterior Plane (SAP) Block (~7%): Indications: Rib fractures, pre/post-chest tube insertion pain, and chest wall abscesses. Tip: Hydro-dissect with normal saline first to identify the fascial plane before injecting local anesthetic, and consider adding dexamethasone to extend duration. Innovative Block Spotlight: Genicular Nerve Block Target: Three of the primary sensory branches of the sciatic/femoral nerves supplying the anterior knee. Indications: Acute knee trauma/fractures, acute-on-chronic knee pain, and severe osteoarthritic flare-ups. Safety & Execution: Low-volume block (~10 mL total). Pearl: Omit the inferior-lateral genicular injection to avoid unintentional peroneal nerve block and foot drop. Streamlining Nerve Blocks in Your Department To move nerve blocks from a rare procedure to a routine clinical tool: ED Infrastructure: Build standardized EMR order sets, procedure note templates, and dedicated nerve block supply carts/kits. Departmental Support: Designate a point person to coordinate credentialing, interdisciplinary pathways (e.g., trauma, orthopedics), and physician/nurse/tech education. Hands-on Training: Utilize cadaver labs, simulation, and scanning shifts to build faculty and resident confidence. Non-Negotiable Safety Guidelines & LAST Prevention Nerve blocks are generally low-risk, but vigilance is critical to avoid complications like Local Anesthetic Systemic Toxicity (LAST) or direct nerve injury: Patient Selection: Avoid in uncommunicative patients (who cannot report paresthesias or tinnitus), areas at high risk for compartment syndrome, or pre-existing severe nerve deficits. Monitoring: Keep patients on cardiac telemetry for 30–60 minutes post-block for central or high-volume blocks (>10 mL or above the elbow/knee). Dosing Buffer: Calculate maximum weight-based local anesthetic doses every time; stay within 60–70% of the maximum dose to maintain a safety buffer. Intralipid Availability: Ensure 20% Intralipid is immediately accessible in the ED pharmacy or brought directly to the bedside. Injection Technique: Never point the needle directly at a nerve. Inject into the fascial plane, stop immediately if you encounter resistance, and perform frequent aspirations every 3–5 mL. What is your favorite ultrasound-guided nerve block? What barriers do you encounter to doing blocks in the ED? We'd love to hear form you!

In this episode of the Faith Angle podcast, Religion & Society Director Josh Good sits down with three contributors to the new book Modeling Religious Pluralism: Cultivating Religious Equity in Today's World (Oxford University Press)--Simran Jeet Singh, Assistant Professor of Interreligious Histories at Union Theological Seminary, Diane L. Moore, Co-Director of Religion and Public Life at UTS, and Asma Uddin, Assistant Professor of Law at Michigan State University College of Law. Together they explore why religion so often gets overlooked in public life, and what it means to move beyond mere "tolerance" and toward genuine pluralism. The panel unpacks religious literacy as a framework for understanding faith's internal diversity, its constant evolution, and its deep entanglement with politics, law, and culture.

Crypto security isn't just about protecting wallets from hackers. Increasingly, the person holding the crypto can become the target.In this episode, David Sencil sits down with Dr. Marilyne Ordekian Panossian, incoming Assistant Professor at Durham University Law School and researcher in cryptocurrency cybercrime and regulation, to examine the growing threat of “wrench attacks” — physical attacks used to force crypto holders to surrender funds, private keys, passwords, or other credentials.Drawing from research into real-world cases, Marilyne explains how attackers identify potential victims, why peer-to-peer transactions can introduce additional risks, and how leaked KYC or personal data may expose crypto users to physical threats.The conversation also explores how organized crime networks are becoming involved, why technical knowledge alone may not keep users safe, and why holding large amounts of crypto on mobile wallets can create additional risk.Topics include: What defines a crypto wrench attack How attackers identify crypto holders KYC leaks and personal data exposure Why some regions are seeing more attacks The rise of organized crime networks Why many wrench attacks go unreported Why digital security alone isn't enough How exchanges and service providers can reduce risk Practical safety precautions for crypto users The risks of publicly displaying crypto wealth Exchange responsibility following data breaches Marilyne also shares practical ways crypto holders can reduce their exposure, including limiting public information, spreading funds across different wallet types, strengthening personal data security, and avoiding keeping large amounts readily accessible.

In the chaotic times in which we live, how can we navigate through its darkness? Where can we find the light of true wisdom? Where can we find rest for our souls? Jesus says in Matthew 11:28-30 "Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and YOU SHALL FIND REST FOR YOUR SOULS. For My yoke is easy, and My load is light.”Jesus also tells us He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. And by being in Christ, we have been declared righteous. We are on the path of righteousness, and, "...the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn,             That shines brighter and brighter until the full day" (Proverbs 4:18). By not leaning on our own understanding, by trusting in the Lord with all of our hearts, we act virtuously and shine as lights in a dark world. But even our virtuous acts are all of grace (Ephesians 2:8-10).

What does it look like to lead the way Jesus did — through the cross, not around it? Host Joy Fea welcomes Rev. Dr. Nicole Massie Martin, President and CEO of Christianity Today, to talk about her book Nailing It: Why Successful Leadership Demands Suffering and Surrender. Together, they explore what people really need from a leader, why perfectionism isn't the same as excellence, how power works for women with and without a title, and why loyalty can quietly become an idol. Nicole also shares what “cruciform leadership” looks like on an ordinary Tuesday, and what she'd tell her twentysomething self about ambition, insecurity, and calling.WHAT YOU WILL LEARNWhy transparency — not just confidence — is what makes a leader trustworthy, and how naming the “turbulence” ahead of time actually builds a team's confidence rather than undermining it.What Nicole's book title actually means: leadership “suffering” isn't suffering for its own sake — it's dying to ego, control, and ambition so that something greater can be resurrected through you.How to recognize when perfectionism, not excellence, is driving your leadership (and your parenting) — and why anything involving other people can never be perfect.The difference between operating with excellence and operating to prove your worth — and why God's approval, not your output, is the more stable foundation.A framework for understanding power beyond your job title: legitimate, expert, informational, referential, and reward power, and how to identify and use whatever power you actually have.How to tell the difference between healthy, Christ-centered loyalty and loyalty that has quietly become an idol — and why toxic leaders are usually surrounded by loyal followers who are afraid to speak up.What women uniquely bring to leadership when they're free to lead from who God made them to be, rather than compensating for who they're told they aren't.What “cruciform leadership” looks like in practice — a daily, repeated act of surrendering your schedule, your meetings, and your outcomes to God rather than white-knuckling your way through them.How Nicole leads a 70-year-old media ministry without becoming captive to its legacy — maintaining Christianity Today's founding mission while letting its expression evolve.Nicole's advice to young leaders on discerning calling: focus on your strengths rather than fixing your weaknesses, and hold your context loosely — your calling is bigger than any one role.ABOUT OUR GUEST Reverend Doctor Nicole Massie Martin was born and educated in Baltimore, Maryland.

Atrial fibrillation, or AFib, is one of the most common heart rhythm disorders—and it's not just something to worry about "when you're older." In this episode, Dr. Arfaat Khan, a cardiac electrophysiologist, explains what AFib is, the symptoms you shouldn't ignore, who may be at risk, and why catching and treating it early can make a real difference. We also talk about catheter ablation, a minimally invasive treatment that can help restore a normal heart rhythm, and why more patients may benefit from knowing this option exists. For more information about what Dr. Khan discussed in this episode, go to GetSmartAboutAFib.com  Transcript: 06:14:16 --> 06:14:19 Dr. Arfaat Khan: Hi Marijo, thank you for having me on the show. 06:14:18 --> 06:14:23 Marijo Tinlin: Hey, thank you. Absolutely. Let me get started here. 06:14:27 --> 06:14:48 Marijo Tinlin: Hello, this is Marijo Tinlin from the Teaching Your Toddler show. Today we have a great episode. We are recording in September, which is the beginning of AFib Awareness Month, and we have a special guest, Dr. Arfaat Khan, is with us to talk to us about that. So, first of all, doctor, welcome to the show. Tell us a little bit. What is AFib? 06:14:48 --> 06:14:59 Dr. Arfaat Khan: So, thank you, Marijo, for having me on the show today. So, atrial fibrillation, also known as AFib, is a very common heart rhythm disorder in which the top chambers of the heart start to beat periodically. 06:14:59 --> 06:15:10 Dr. Arfaat Khan: It's a very common condition. Over 55 million people globally are affected by it, and if left untreated, it can lead to serious complications. 06:15:10 --> 06:15:14 Marijo Tinlin: Oh, wow. So how do you know that you have it? 06:15:14 --> 06:15:23 Dr. Arfaat Khan: So, patients can present with different types of symptoms. You can have anxiety, palpitations, feeling your heart skipping beats. 06:15:23 --> 06:15:31 Dr. Arfaat Khan: Uh, feeling tired, short of breath, basically having difficulty carrying on the normal routines that you're able to do without any problem. 06:15:31 --> 06:15:44 Dr. Arfaat Khan: You have to understand that AFib is a progressive condition. It starts out in the early stage and then can later progress down to the point where you can't get rid of it, so that's why it's very, very important to identify it and treat it early. 06:15:44 --> 06:15:58 Dr. Arfaat Khan: And it's also important that if you are diagnosed with atrial fibrillation, that you should be referred to a cardiac electrophysiologist, which is actually a specialized cardiologist who are specially trained to identify and manage the different aspects of atrial fibrillation. 06:16:00 --> 06:16:06 Marijo Tinlin: What? Can you explain what an electrophysiologist is? That's you. 06:16:05 --> 06:16:18 Dr. Arfaat Khan: Yeah, so I'm an electrophysiologist, so an electrophysiologist is basically a physician that's actually a cardiologist, but has advanced training in managing different heart rhythm disorders, and AFib is actually one of the most common heart rhythm disorders. 06:16:17 --> 06:16:26 Marijo Tinlin: Oh, wow. Okay, so how old do you tend to see your patients, or how early should a patient start to think about this? 06:16:26 --> 06:16:41 Dr. Arfaat Khan: So, recent studies show that the earlier you diagnose AFib and treat it, the better the outcomes, because AFib is a progressive condition. Um, so within, you know, a month to at least within a year of treatment of AFib actually leads to better patient outcomes. 06:16:42 --> 06:16:47 Marijo Tinlin: Are there any pre-existing conditions that you tend to see with patients? 06:16:47 --> 06:16:58 Dr. Arfaat Khan: So some patients can have, like, hypertension, diabetes, you know, history of heart failure, but generally, the older you get, these are the more common risk factors of development of AFib. 06:16:59 --> 06:17:04 Marijo Tinlin: And so, there are some new options for treatment that you're going to tell us about. 06:17:04 --> 06:17:19 Dr. Arfaat Khan: Yeah, although there are different, many treatment options available, catheter ablation is a very safe, minimally invasive procedure in which we go into the heart and help identify where the faulty electrical signals are, target them, and help restore normal rhythm. 06:17:19 --> 06:17:33 Dr. Arfaat Khan: It's an outpatient procedure. Um, as I said, it's minimally invasive. Most patients are able to go home that same day. They have little to no discomfort after the procedure, and typically they resume their normal activities within a few days after the procedure is done. 06:17:33 --> 06:17:48 Dr. Arfaat Khan: I personally use the Cardo 3D electroanatomical mapping system, and this mapping system helps me reconstruct the patient's heart's anatomy, and also helps me localize where the faulty electrical signals are, so that I can specifically tailor each therapy. 06:17:48 --> 06:17:54 Dr. Arfaat Khan: individual to the patient. And that actually leads to improved patient success and improved patient outcomes. 06:17:54 --> 06:18:05 Dr. Arfaat Khan: But it's important to understand that although 55 million people globally are affected by atrial fibrillation, only 5% of eligible patients are actually getting this catheter ablation procedure done. 06:18:05 --> 06:18:13 Marijo Tinlin: Is that just because they don't know or is it because doctors don't know to refer this or what's causing that? 06:18:12 --> 06:18:26 Dr. Arfaat Khan: I think it's a common, you know, it's a multitude of different things, right? With September being AFib Awareness Month, our goal is to help increase awareness about what AFib is, and what therapies are actually available to treat atrial fibrillation, such as catheter ablation. 06:18:26 --> 06:18:32 Marijo Tinlin: Excellent. So is it usually referred from a PCP then? Sorry, a primary care physician? 06:18:32 --> 06:18:49 Dr. Arfaat Khan: Yeah, primary care physician, ER physicians, cardiologists, anyone can actually refer to a cardiac electrophysiologist. But as a patient, there are multiple different resources available too. So if you think you have AFib, Johnson & Johnson actually has a website called GetSmartAboutAFib.com. 06:18:49 --> 06:18:57 Dr. Arfaat Khan: Which actually has a lot of educational videos, testimonials, and even a questionnaire to see if you qualify for a catheter ablation procedure. 06:18:57 --> 06:19:12 Marijo Tinlin: Oh, excellent. Well, thank you. Of course, I was going to ask you for more information, so we'll make sure that that link is available for the listeners. Thank you so much. This is a fascinating topic, and I'm glad that you brought it. And thank you so much for joining us today. 06:19:11 --> 06:19:14 Dr. Arfaat Khan: Thank you very much for having me. Appreciate it. 06:19:13 --> 06:19:15 Marijo Tinlin: Absolutely.   Dr. Arfaat Khan's biography:  Dr. Arfaat Khan is a board-certified cardiac electrophysiologist specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of heart rhythm disorders, including atrial fibrillation, supraventricular tachycardia, ventricular arrhythmias, cardiac device implantation, and complex catheter ablation procedures.

Al Mohler recently let the internet know he finds it a bit sus when a woman talks about the Bible on a podcast. Today's guest is one of four women who just launched a podcast where they talk about the Bible. Four. Plural. It's called Bible Divas, and Anna Sieges says she plans to email Al every time an episode drops so he doesn't miss one — and maybe gets an opportunity to be moved by the Spirit, repent, and embrace the gift of half the species thinking, reflecting, teaching, and wrestling with scripture. Anna teaches Hebrew Bible at Gardner-Webb in North Carolina, and her research love is the Book of the Twelve, which most of us learned to call the minor prophets while memorizing them in order for Bible drill. She wants that name retired, and her argument is good: these are not twelve guys yelling on twelve different street corners. It's a long conversation, stitched together over generations by communities arguing with God about empire, land, and whether mercy actually extends to the people you hate. We got into locust plagues as a table of contents, Jonah as the Colbert Report, why Habakkuk asks God to fix the violence and God says sure, I'll send the Babylonians, why you're probably Assyria and not Israel when you read this stuff, and — at the end — what actual repentance would look like for the harm done to LGBTQ people by a single chapter in a widely assigned textbook. You can WATCH the conversation on YouTube About our guest Dr. Anna Sieges is Assistant Professor of Religious Studies at Gardner-Webb University in Boiling Springs, North Carolina, where she teaches Hebrew Bible. She grew up overseas in Papua New Guinea, where her father provided counseling support for people on the mission field and her mother worked in HR — and where family Bible trivia on Saturday nights was, in her words, cutthroat. Her research centers on the Book of the Twelve, redaction criticism, and the scribal shaping of prophetic literature.

a16z's Lisha Li sits down with Daniel Litt, Assistant Professor of Mathematics at the University of Toronto, to unpack AI's rapid progress in mathematics, what today's frontier models can actually do, and what they're still missing about the way mathematicians think. Daniel explains why some recent AI-generated results are genuinely impressive, including an autonomous solution to the Erdős unit distance problem, but argues that solving problems is only one part of mathematics. Today's models can grind through calculations, combine known techniques, and search enormous spaces, but still struggle with intuition, theory building, identifying the right questions, and developing the kind of big-picture understanding that drives much of mathematical progress. Lisha and Daniel also explore how AI is already changing mathematical research, why an explosion of AI-generated papers could distort academic incentives, and what happens if researchers outsource the work of thinking rather than use AI to deepen it. Ultimately, they ask a question that extends far beyond mathematics: as AI gets better at intellectual work, how do we make sure humans keep getting better at thinking too?

Send us Fan MailIn episode #197 host Kyla Channell is joined by Dr. Emily Lantz, assistant professor at the University of Texas Medical Branch, for a practical conversation about how muscle responds to age, disuse, sleep loss, and protein intake. The episode focuses on what actually helps preserve or rebuild muscle, especially in middle-aged and older adults, aging women, and athletes recovering from inactivity or injury.KEY TAKEAWAYSMuscle loss can happen quickly during inactivity, especially in older adults.Whey protein appears useful in disuse situations because of its high quality and easy absorption.Protein quality matters, not just total grams.Plant-based eating can absolutely work, but it often requires more planning to hit protein and amino acid needs.25 to 30 grams of protein per meal is a practical target for many active adults.Leucine is helpful, but not a stand-alone solution.Resistance training remains the strongest signal for building or maintaining muscle.Please note that this podcast is created strictly for educational purposes and should never be used for medical diagnosis or treatment.ABOUT DR. EMILY LANTZ:Dr. Emily Lantz is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Nutrition Sciences and Health Behavior in the School of Health Professions at the University of Texas Medical Branch. She has a Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Biochemistry from Iowa State University, a PhD in Nutrition Science from Purdue University. She completed a postdoctoral fellowship in skeletal muscle metabolism from the Division of Rehabilitation Science University of Texas Medical Branch.Dr. Lantz's research interest broadly focuses on two main themes: i). the effects of physical inactivity on skeletal muscle mass and functional capacity in middle-aged and older adults, with an emphasis on aging women and ii). the application and mechanism of action of amino acid and protein consumption on acute markers of anabolism e.g., muscle protein synthesis.FOLLOW DR.

Former President George W. Bush was wrong when he iconically stated "Rarely is the question asked: Is our children learning?" Actually, it's asked all the time (dubious grammatical structuring aside). Politicians and social influencers are quick to bemoan the state of education, but thoughtful conversations on how we might meaningfully change things for the better are few and far between. Saving Elephants has assembled an all-star panel to have a real conversation about education: Have we failed to educate our children? To what extent are problems in education a matter of bad policies, structures, or philosophy? What is the purpose of education, and do our schools align with that purpose?   The panel includes:   Brooke Medina From spn.org Brooke Medina serves as Vice President of Communications for State Policy Network.

In a world that often seems to be chaotically out of control, in a world of an endless cacophony of competing  voices, in a world that encourages us to do whatever we want, in a world that relentlessly encourages us to pursue our own interests and desires, how can we possibly even begin to "live well"? What does that mean? Is it pursuing personal peace and affluence? The perfect job? The perfect spouse? The right college? The right neighborhood? Our guest this week on the Profile, Dr. Alan Noble of Oklahoma Baptist University, has written a helpful little guide that answers these and other questions about what it means for Christians to live well. This is not a self-help book or a name-it-and-claim-it prosperity treatise, but an invitation to meditate upon and pursue the ancient virtues. Noble does not advocate that we are earning God's favor by pursuing the virtues. Rather, because we are made righteous in Christ, we have the freedom in Christ to pursue patience, wisdom, charity, love, courage, and resoluteness. The pursuit of virtue is not dry religious legalism, but an adventure, accomplished by and through the Holy Spirit. Come and see!From AlanNoble.comAlan Noble is Assistant Professor of English at Oklahoma Baptist University. Alan launched the group Public Faith with Michael Wear to offer an alternative evangelical political voice. He also joined The AND Campaign as an advisor, were he served for a number of years. Alan has written articles for Christian publications such as Modern Reformation, InTouch Magazine, and Christianity Today and for secular publications like VOX, Buzzfeed, and The Atlantic. He has been interviewed, quoted, or cited in The New York Times, The Washington Post, MTV News, MSNBC, The Guardian, Buzzfeed, Politico, Village Voice, Yahoo! News, ThinkProgress, The Blaze, WORLD Magazine, and Slate. And he has spoken at colleges, organizations, churches, and youth groups on a range of topics related to the church and culture. In 2023, Alan became a “fellow” at the Keller Center for Cultural Apologetics. Free Watchman Profile articles.

The time to reduce global emissions is decreasing rapidly. What does that mean for Ohio?In 2015, the United Nations Climate Change Conference brought world leaders together to discuss a treaty called the Paris Agreement, that would set global environmental standards in an effort to reduce the impact of climate change. The Paris Agreement established a goal of maintaining global temperatures below 2°C, or 3.6°F, above pre-industrial levels. As emissions continue to increase, world leaders and scientists have emphasized the need to stay within 1.5°C, or 2.4°C, to prevent irreversible environmental consequences. President Donald Trump officially withdrew the United States from the deal for the second time in January of this year. He first withdrew the U.S. in 2020, with former President Joe Biden reversing that decision during his presidency. The climate clock hit its three-year mark earlier this year, indicating the time left to reduce global emissions before our planet reaches the critical temperature is dwindling. It can seem like Ohioans aren't feeling the impact of climate change, but experts say that's far from the case. Guests:- Jeff Opperman, Ph.D, Global Freshwater Lead Scientist, World Wildlife Fund- Aaron Wilson, Ph.D, State Climatologist of Ohio; Assistant Professor & Ag Weather and Climate Field Specialist, The Ohio State University Climate change and environmental advocacy in Northeast OhioAs global temperatures close in on the 1.5-degree Celsius threshold, the impact is being felt throughout Northeast Ohio. Increased rainfall, higher temperatures and harsher winters threaten Ohio wildlife, its agriculture industry and its residents. As farmers grapple with the effect these changes are having on their crops and food production, local climate activists are working with policymakers and community members to create a sustainable region built on climate resilience.

What happens when Lyme disease affects the brain? Why do so many people with Lyme disease struggle with brain fog, memory problems, difficulty concentrating, and mental fatigue—even after treatment? And how can researchers better understand, measure, and treat these persistent cognitive symptoms? In this episode of the Tick Boot Camp Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Jacqueline Becker, clinical neuropsychologist, researcher, and Assistant Professor of Medicine at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Dr. Becker specializes in the cognitive effects of infection-associated chronic illnesses, including Lyme disease, Post-Treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome (PTLDS), Long COVID, and ME/CFS. Drawing from both her clinical practice and groundbreaking research, Dr. Becker explains how neuropsychological testing provides objective ways to evaluate brain fog and cognitive dysfunction. She discusses why patients deserve validation for symptoms that are often invisible, how cognitive rehabilitation differs from commercial brain retraining programs, and why improving research methods is essential for developing more effective treatments. The conversation also explores the growing collaboration between researchers studying Lyme disease and Long COVID, revealing how these conditions may share biological mechanisms that could lead to future breakthroughs benefiting millions of patients. Whether you're living with Lyme disease, caring for someone experiencing cognitive symptoms, or interested in the future of neuroscience and infection-associated chronic illness research, this episode offers practical insights and hope grounded in science. What You'll Learn Why brain fog is one of the most common and disabling symptoms of Lyme disease. How neuropsychologists objectively measure memory, attention, processing speed, and executive functioning.

Unwelcome Shores: Black Refugees in America (Rutgers University Press, 2025) is an ethnographic study of the Liberian refugee community in Staten Island, New York, home to the largest per capita concentration of Liberians in the U.S., that sheds light on the racialization of Black refugees and the racism they have experienced at every step of their migration journey. In this pioneering study, sociologist Bernadette Ludwig explores how Liberians have responded to such racist exclusions, noting how members of this community reject the informal refugee label once they are resettled in the United States. Liberian migrants often view the label as a liability since the larger general public, the media, and the U.S. government tend to regard Black refugees as an economic and social burden unworthy of assistance. Indeed, Black refugees' humanity is often ignored, Ludwig contends, in favor of overemphasizing presumed barbaric violence, endemic wars, cultural backwardness, and diseases. By detailing the lack of aid and support for Black refugees and describing how Liberian refugees in particular have had to overcome various struggles and barriers in coming to the U.S. and while living here, Unwelcome Shores highlights the overarching role of race and anti-Black racism in American society. Dr. Bernadette Ludwig is a Sociologist and the Assistant Dean of the Macricostas School of Arts and Sciences at Western Connecticut State University. She is also an Affiliated Faculty with The New School's Zolberg Institute on Migration & Mobility.  Host: Michael L. Rosino is Assistant Professor of Sociology at Molloy University, studying racial politics, media, and democracy. His most recent book, Democracy Is Awkward: Grappling with Racism Inside Grassroots Political Organizing, is now available with the University of North Carolina Press. In this episode, Dr. Ludwig mentioned an opportunity to get involved in asylum and deportation cases.

You Can't Pizza Party Your Way Out of Burnout: Moral Injury, Compassion Fatigue, and Treating Healthcare Workers - An Interview with Kimberly Johnson, PhD, LMHCD, and Lucy Li, MD Kimberly Johnson, PhD, and Lucy Li, MD, of the Emotional PPE Project on healthcare worker mental health and moral injury. Curt and Katie talk with Kimberly Johnson, PhD, LMHCD, a counselor educator at Touro University with more than thirty years of clinical experience in trauma, crisis, and disaster mental health, and Lucy Li, MD, a pediatric anesthesiologist at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Both serve on the board of the Emotional PPE Project, a volunteer-run nonprofit reducing the barriers that keep healthcare workers from accessing mental health care. Healthcare workers rarely arrive in therapy looking the way the distress would suggest. They mask, they overcompensate, and they spend session time explaining the job before they get to what the job has done to them. Kimberly describes the trifecta therapists often flatten into ordinary workplace burnout: burnout, compassion fatigue and complex trauma, and moral injury braided together, frequently presenting subclinically. Lucy describes the same terrain from inside medicine, including what shifted for her after her friend and co-resident died by suicide during residency. They also walk through the Emotional PPE Project's directory of volunteer therapists and its ePPE 101 training for mental health professionals who want to work with healthcare workers well. In this episode, we discuss: - Why healthcare workers are a heterogeneous population, not a single clinical profile - How burnout, complex trauma, and moral injury show up together and subclinically - The intake questions that surface occupational risk factors early - Why moral injury sits where occupational, vocational, and personal identity stop aligning - What stigma costs healthcare workers, their patients, and the workforce - How the Emotional PPE Project connects healthcare workers to free, confidential care - Why the same barriers show up for therapists as healthcare providers Timestamps: - 02:38 - What therapists get wrong with healthcare workers - 07:11 - Professional humility and the questions worth asking early - 09:24 - Burnout, trauma, and moral injury as a trifecta - 15:30 - Where moral injury actually lives - 17:43 - Stigma and the fear of seeking care - 22:00 - The second victim effect and being sent home - 25:10 - Beyond pizza parties: what structural support looks like - 33:27 - Inside the Emotional PPE Project and ePPE 101 Guest Bios: Kimberly Johnson, PhD, LMHCD is Director of Special Projects and Assistant Professor in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Touro University, a licensed therapist in New York, a certified Compassion Fatigue Therapist and Educator and Field Traumatologist, and a Diplomate with the American Academy of Experts in Traumatic Stress. Lucy Li, MD is an attending anesthesiologist in Pediatric Anesthesiology at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and a board member of the Emotional PPE Project. She completed her anesthesiology residency at Massachusetts General Hospital, where she was chief resident, and focuses on physician mental health and wellness.

Over the last century, tens of millions of people quit Eastern Europe for the United States. The push-pull factors were many—war, poverty, instability, persecution at home and opportunity, refuge, and liberty abroad. But manna didn't simply fall from the sky in America. Immigrants from Eastern Europe confronted many of the same challenges migrants do everywhere—exploitation, hardship, and discrimination.Thresholds is a REEES podcast series that will grapple with these histories through interviews with scholars and immigrants' personal profiles. What pushed them to leave? What did they discover when they arrived? How did they change and be changed by American society? What opportunities and challenges did they face to become “American”? And what can we learn about immigration today?Guest:Julia Alekseyeva immigrated to United States from Kyiv, Ukraine, in 1992. She's Assistant Professor of English and Cinema and Media Studies at the University of Pennsylvania. She's the author of Soviet Daughter: A Graphic Revolution and Antifascism and the Avant-Garde: Radical Documentary in the 1960s and Antifascism and the Avant-Garde: Radical Documentary in the 1960s.

Tics are common in childhood, but recognizing when they are part of typical development, and when they may indicate Tourette syndrome or another tic disorder, can be challenging for pediatricians. A child repeatedly blinks during a well visit. A parent mentions a new throat-clearing sound that has been happening for weeks. Soon comes the question pediatricians hear often: "Should I be worried?"  In this episode, we take a closer look at tics and Tourette syndrome, helping pediatricians distinguish common childhood tics from situations that may warrant further evaluation. We'll explore the natural history of tic disorders, common co-occurring conditions, and practical strategies for counseling and supporting families.  Joining us for this conversation is Chelsey Stillman, PA-C, a physician assistant at Children's Colorado and the creator and director of the Integrative Tic Clinic. She is also an Assistant Professor of Pediatrics.  Some highlights from this episode include: What tics are and how common they are in children  The natural history and typical course of tic disorders  The differences between transient tics, chronic tic disorders, and Tourette syndrome  Common conditions that can co-occur with tic disorders  For more information on Children's Colorado, visit: childrenscolorado.org. 

There are many acceptable approaches to adrenalectomy. Hypercortisolism with adrenal origin is a challenging topic especially in a population where obesity is incredibly common.  A thorough biochemical workup involving endocrinologists and endocrine surgeons is key to offering the best surgery.   Large adrenal tumors with indeterminate imaging characteristics have historically been removed with an open surgical approach.  However, with modern robotic technology, it is possible to remove these successfully using a minimally invasive approach with a high-volume surgeon.  Today we will discuss some clinically challenging adrenal cases addressing the above issues, and include tips and tricks from an expert, high-volume robotic adrenal endocrine surgeon.    Hosts:- Amanda Doubleday, DO, MBA, Assistant Professor, Waukesha Surgical Specialists, ProHealth Care.

We don't talk enough about how hard it actually is to build a healthcare startup. Behind SmarterDx's story, now one of the biggest health AI exits to date, were 18 months without a single customer, a pivot that seemed to make no product sense, and two co-founders who went back to working as hospitalists just to get by.In this episode, Steve gets the real story from Dr. Michael Gao and Dr. Joshua Geleris about the challenges they faced and what ultimately unlocked real growth and led to their billion+ acquisition by New Mountain Capital.We cover:Why their first product idea failed and what customer objections actually taught them to build insteadThe counterintuitive workflow that made contingency pricing possibleHow AI translation of clinical notes into billing codes now outperforms the average human, and what that means for coders and nursesWhy "moat" is the wrong metaphor and what a flywheel looks like insteadWhat they'd do differently in the acquisition processAbout our guests:Michael Gao, MD, the CEO and co-founder of SmarterDx. Prior to founding SmarterDx, Dr. Gao was the Medical Director for Transformation at NewYork-Presbyterian, where he led applied AI development, implementation, and strategy for the health system.

Every night, while you're asleep, your brain runs a cleaning cycle that clears out the kind of toxic buildup linked to Alzheimer's and dementia. And, with age, most of us sleep less. We are shortchanging the benefits without ever realizing how much control we actually have over sleeping longer, and better.Dr. Rebecca Robbins is an Assistant Professor in Sleep Medicine at Harvard Medical School and an Associate Sleep Scientist at Brigham and Women's Hospital, where her research spans sleep's relationship to cognitive function, cardiometabolic health, and long-term brain health. She's published more than 100 peer-reviewed studies, co-authored Sleep for Success!, and her work is exactly the kind of research most of us never hear about until someone frames it the way she does here.In this conversation, you'll explore:Why sleep really does shift around age 38 to 40, and what that shift does and doesn't mean for youThe neuroscience discovery of the brain's overnight "wash cycle," and what Dr. Robbins's own eight-year study found about sleep complaints and dementia riskWhy jumping your bedtime back an hour almost never works, and the fifteen-minute method that doesThe at-home test Jonathan didn't realize he'd already run on himselfThe "sleep divorce" reframe one of Dr. Robbins's patients calls a "sleep marriage," and what it means for couplesIf you've quietly decided your sleep is just what it is at this stage of life, this conversation will change what you think is actually possible tonight.You can find Rebecca at: Website | Instagram | Episode TranscriptNext week, we're sitting down with Tommy Wood to talk about what the research actually shows about keeping your brain sharp across decades, including which levers matter most, what's mostly noise, and what you can realistically start tomorrow, whether you're 45 or 65.
