Social Security has long been a cornerstone of American retirement, but as the trust fund grows closer to depletion by 2032, should the system be repaired or replaced with new standards? Those advocating for phasing it out argue its unsuitability for the modern economy and should only be available for those needing it most. Others argue it's still a good anti-poverty tool and Congress should take action and make changes to its finances. Now we debate: Should We Phase Out Social Security?  Arguing Yes: Romina Boccia, Director of Budget and Entitlement Policy at Cato Institute    Arguing No: Teresa Ghilarducci, Professor of Economics and Policy Analysis and Director of the Wealth Equity Lab at The New School  Emmy award-winning journalist John Donvan moderates  Join the conversation on Substack—share your perspective on this episode and subscribe to our weekly newsletter for curated insights from our debaters, moderators, and staff.  Follow us on YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn, X, Facebook, and TikTok to stay connected with our mission and ongoing debates.  Learn more about your ad choices.

What will you leave to the next generation—and will they be prepared to steward it well?A faithful wealth transfer involves more than deciding who gets what. It means thinking carefully about the people who will receive those resources and whether they have the wisdom, maturity, and spiritual foundation to handle them faithfully.Dr. Kelly Rush, Professor of Finance, Financial Planning Program Coordinator, and Chair of Business and Technology at Mount Vernon Nazarene University, points to David and Solomon as a compelling biblical example. Rush, who also serves on the board of Kingdom Advisors, says David did more than accumulate resources for his son. He prepared Solomon for both great wealth and great responsibility.David knew Solomon would eventually build the temple in Jerusalem. So before transferring tremendous resources, David helped prepare his son for the work ahead.His example offers families four important principles for thinking about wealth transfer today.1. Pursue Unity Before Making a PlanThe first principle is unity: husbands and wives should agree on their plans for transferring wealth.We see this in 1 Kings 1. As David neared the end of his life, his son Adonijah attempted to establish himself as king. Bathsheba approached David and reminded him of the commitment concerning Solomon. David acted, and Solomon was publicly established as his successor.For families today, the circumstances are obviously very different, but the underlying principle remains valuable. Parents should work toward a shared vision for what they hope their wealth will accomplish and how it will eventually be distributed.That unity can clarify the plan for the entire family. Children and other heirs are less likely to receive conflicting messages when parents have already worked through difficult questions together.Before asking, “How much should we leave?” couples may need to begin with a more fundamental question: “Are we united about what we hope this wealth will accomplish?”2. Transfer Wisdom Before WealthAssets will eventually change hands. The larger question is whether wisdom will accompany them.David understood that Solomon needed more than resources. He needed spiritual and practical preparation.David prayed that God would give Solomon wisdom and understanding, and he personally instructed his son to know the Lord and serve Him wholeheartedly. He also gave Solomon detailed plans for the temple and prepared him for the responsibilities he would inherit.In other words, David did not simply leave Solomon a fortune and expect him to figure things out.Parents today have a similar opportunity. Children and grandchildren can be taught biblical principles of stewardship alongside practical financial skills such as budgeting, saving, giving, investing, and making wise decisions.The goal is not merely to prepare assets for heirs. It is to prepare heirs for assets.That preparation may begin long before an inheritance is in view. Younger children can learn to manage small amounts of money and decide how to give. Teenagers can take on greater financial responsibilities. Adult children can increasingly participate in conversations about family resources, generosity, and long-term plans.Wealth without wisdom can create significant challenges. But when wisdom comes first, financial resources can become another tool the next generation is prepared to steward faithfully.3. Consider Readiness, Not Just AgeDavid recognized something important about Solomon: he was “young and inexperienced” (1 Chronicles 22:5).So David prepared him gradually. He imparted wisdom. He supplied practical plans and instructions. Eventually, Solomon received the resources he needed.Families today can also think carefully about both the timing and amount of wealth they transfer.No universal age marks when someone suddenly becomes ready for significant financial responsibility. Parents should consider an heir's spiritual, emotional, and financial maturity rather than relying on age alone.Where gaps exist, they can become opportunities for further preparation.That may mean gradually increasing responsibility over time. In some situations, families may use joint accounts while younger heirs learn to manage money. For larger inheritances, trusts or trustee oversight may provide both protection and an opportunity for continued growth in stewardship.Communication is also essential. Heirs should not necessarily be surprised by a family's wealth-transfer plan after a parent dies. Appropriate conversations ahead of time can allow children to understand their parents' intentions, ask questions, seek wisdom, and prepare for future responsibility.And those plans do not have to remain static. As children mature and circumstances change, parents can revisit their plans accordingly.4. Give Wealth a Purpose Beyond YourselfDavid accumulated extraordinary resources for the temple, drawing from both Israel's treasury and his personal wealth.Yet David would never build it himself. God had given that responsibility to Solomon.David could have looked at that limitation and decided the project was no longer his concern. Instead, he prepared extensively for something another generation would complete.That offers an important perspective on stewardship. We cannot take our possessions with us when we die, but we can thoughtfully use them while we are here in ways that bless others and support work that continues beyond our lifetime.For families, that may include making generosity part of family life now rather than waiting until an estate is distributed.Parents might invite children into giving decisions, support ministries together, or develop a family mission statement that expresses the values they hope will continue into future generations. Some families may also incorporate charitable gifts or trusts into their estate plans.The specific tools will vary. The deeper goal is to cultivate a family culture in which wealth is understood as something God entrusted, not merely something to consume or accumulate.Use Financial Resources to Build Something GreaterRush has seen this principle at work in her own family. She and her husband have used financial resources to take their children on family mission trips, giving them opportunities to serve together and learn to share the gospel.Those experiences illustrate an important possibility: financial capital can sometimes develop something far more important—spiritual maturity, relationships, wisdom, and a vision for serving others.For parents, that raises a worthwhile question: How might the resources God has entrusted to us today help prepare the people who may steward them tomorrow?The answer will look different for every family. But the biblical pattern reminds us that wealth transfer is not simply an estate-planning event at the end of life. It is an ongoing process of teaching, communicating, preparing, and modeling faithful stewardship.David prepared resources for Solomon, but he also prepared Solomon for the resources. That may be one of the greatest gifts we can give the next generation.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:My bank is being acquired, and the new bank has limited in-network ATM access when I travel.

Word of mouth has long been one of marketing's most powerful tools, but marketers still struggle to understand what makes it effective. On this episode, we talk with Koen Pauwels, Professor of Marketing at Northeastern University and Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal of Research in Marketing (IJRM), about how word of mouth has changed from the early days of social media to the age of influencers and generative AI. Pauwels' research offers several important lessons for marketers: Word of mouth can dramatically outperform paid marketing.  Not all word of mouth is equal.  Influencer marketing depends on the objective.  Online conversations are not necessarily representative.  Real buzz travels.  Generative AI makes third-party credibility even more important.  The takeaway for CMOs: word of mouth is too valuable to ignore, but too complicated to measure with a single social listening dashboard. Brands should cultivate genuine advocacy, understand what they are paying influencers to accomplish, and connect those investments to measurable business outcomes.

No episódio, Ana Frazão conversa com Nuno Garoupa, Economista, Professor de Direito na George Mason University, Presidente da Associação Europeia de Direito e Economia e uma das maiores autoridades mundiais no assunto. O professor explica o que é exatamente essa área de pesquisa e como a economia pode ajudar no desenho de regras jurídicas e também no seu enforcement. Dentre os tópicos explorados, estão a relação entre as análises econômicas e a economia neoclássica, as outras áreas da economia que precisam estar no radar de juristas atualmente, como a economia comportamental e a economia institucional, bem como as diferenças entre a análise positiva e a preditiva, inclusive para o fim de reconhecer o lado ideológico das últimas. O professor Garoupa ainda trata das dificuldades e limitações das análises econômicas, tais como os desafios para predições, a suposta neutralidade e as restrições dos métodos quantitativos. Por fim, o professor reflete sobre se e em que medida a utilização de critérios econômicos nas decisões judiciais leva a decisões mais pro mercado e como encontrar um caminho de equilíbrio entre a racionalidade econômica e a racionalidade jurídica.

Tim Harford investigates some of the numbers in the news. This week:(00:40) Does the UK account for nine out of ten of the poorest regions in Northern Europe? It's a classic story of devil meets detail where the true meaning is the geographical inequality we met along the way.(07:54) An article in The Economist has claimed that a single donkey charity in Devon received more in annual donations than all the major political parties combined. Is this true? And if so, should we be Led By Donkeys?(11:29) Last week 781 migrants crossed the channel in small boats in one day. Social media is keen to work out how much this might cost the UK economy. We put the numbers in context and ask Madeleine Sumption from the Migration Observatory about the fiscal impact of asylum seekers.(21:38) A claim has been buzzing round the internet that bees could hold the secret to long life, but our team is sceptical. We deliver the statistical exposé of Big Honey that the mainstream media's been too afraid to cover.Guests: Liam Sides, Associate Director at Oxford Economics' Cities and Regions team Dr Madeleine Sumption, Director of the Migration Observatory at the University of Oxford Dr Dot Bennett, Professor of Cell Biology at City St. George's, University of London Dr Ramsay Bowden, Assistant Professor in Medical Genetics at the University of CambridgePresenter: Tim Harford Series Producer: Tom Colls Reporters: Lizzy McNeill and Kateryna Pavyluk Producer: Nathan Gower Editor: Richard Vadon Programme Coordinator: Maria Ogundele Sound Engineer: James Beard

In this episode of The Cordial Catholic I'm joined, by Dr. LuElla D'Amico, an author, Professor of English, and a convert to the Catholic faith to talk about the roots of her conversion journey and what it means, for a church-shopping Evangelical Christian, to find an ultimate home in Catholicism. It's a great conversation as we dig into exactly what it means to "surrender" to the Truth of Catholicism, how accepting the authority of the Church isn't the same as finding a church that "ticks all the boxes," and the role of Truth, Beauty, and good literature shapes the Catholic life. It's a fantastic conversation!For more from Dr. LuElla, please visit her website.Send your feedback to cordialcatholic@gmail.com.

The Prime Minister Andy Burnham has announced an end to the triple lock for the state pension from 2030, and it's thought that women could be most affected by the proposed changes. Kylie Pentalow is joined by consumer finance expert Sarah Pennells to explain what the news could mean for women's pensions. The Women's Art Collection at Murray Edwards College in Cambridge is marking 40 years since its inception in 1986, with a new exhibition inspired by its very first artwork and two new acquisitions. Joining Kylie Pentelow to discuss putting women in the frame are Harriet Loffler, Director of the Women's Art Collection, the artist Professor Dame Sonia Boyce and the art historian and author of The Story of Art Without Men, Katy Hessel.A group of school children have set up a petition calling on the government to ban the use of school uniforms in porn. They say they want to abolish the sexualisation of children through the inappropriate use of school uniform. Kylie is joined by two of the campaigners Aylin and Mae, both 15. Kylie also hears from Professor Clare McGlynn, Professor of Law at Durham University and author of Exposed: The problem of Extreme Porn.The cultural historian Mineke Schipper was reading proverbs from around the world, when she stumbled upon an idea for a new research project, into what she describes as the last feminist taboo - what happens to women after their husbands die. The research has now become a book called Widows and Mineke joins Kylie to talk about what she's learnt.Have you ever thought about the ways your body has surprised you? Our bodies carry us through every day, and they vary not only between people, but change hugely over the course of our own lives. We're exploring the question through the experiences of our Woman's Hour listeners. Today we hear from Rebecca, sharing the story of her recovery from breast cancer, and how her body made it through gruelling cancer treatment to find community and joy in the ocean.Presenter: Kylie Pentalow Producer: Olivia Skinner

"One Last Heist" A singer/songwriter, a Professor, an author and the creator of the beloved cabaret-style multi artist extravaganza Cabinet Of Wonders which has featured everyone from novelist Rick Moody to Kristin Hersh to Steven Page, Wesley Stace is a man who, as the expression goes, wears many hats. The British-born, Cambridge educated Stace first came onto my college radio radar in 1989 under the name John Wesley Harding. I was immediately on board--his songs were literate, urbane and cheeky, but also heartbreaking, self-aware and wise. The John Wesley Harding character put out close to twenty marvelous albums including Here Comes The Groom, Why We Fight and Adam's Apple. Reverting to his birth name, Stace has put out just under ten albums, including his marvelous new one, One Last Heist. Satirical, soulful and catchy as ever, One Last Heist is a brilliant blend of witty pop smarts and atmospheric ballads. Over the course of his career Stace has recorded with Springsteen, Lou Reed and Roseanne Cash, written international best-selling novels and taught at Princeton. www.wesleystace.com (http://www.wesleystace.com) www.bombshellradio.com (http://www.bombshellradio.com) www.stereoembersmagazine.com (http://www.stereoembersmagazine.com) www.alexgreenbooks.com (http://www.alexgreenbooks.com) Threads + Bluesky+ IG: @emberspodcast Editor@stereoembersmagazine.com

Have you ever wondered why people spent millions on cartoon apes in the NFT frenzy? Beyond the obvious desire for profit, emotions likely played a role. In this episode of The Behavioral Divide, Professor Hal Hershfield sits down with Alex Edmans, Professor of Finance at the London Business School, to discuss his new book, The Madness of Markets. Beyond the many fun, memorable stories found in his research (like cartoon apes), he examines the emotions and biases that can drive even smart investors to make suboptimal choices. Joining them is Jason Gentile, Chief Wealth Officer at Apella Wealth. Together, they get at the importance of remaining tethered to your own objectives when others may be chasing quick wins, and why one of the hardest things in investing is being aware of what you know versus what you merely think you know.

Men and women are frequently treated differently by healthcare systems according to a review of global research published in the journal, PLOS One. Women with the same medical conditions as men are less likely to be offered the medical treatments offered to men such as surgery, statins, or strong painkillers. They are also less likely to be offered treatment for conditions like cardiovascular conditions, kidney disease and Parkinson's disease. Claudia Hammond is joined by family doctor, Ann Robinson, to discuss.Claudia and Ann also discuss global disparities in access to dermatological care and the announcement that the Jehovah's Witness ban on accepting blood components in transfusions has been lifted.Also, for centuries scientists have thought of the brain as a single, unified organ. But new research reveals that what we call the brain could be two distinct organs that evolved independently over hundreds of millions of years. Claudia speaks to Matthew Grubb, Professor of Neuroscience at King's College London, to ask what we can learn from this revelation and whether he now considers the brain to be two organs.And Paddy Ross, Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at Durham University, tells us about his research, that children are far more likely than adults to judge a person's emotions by what they hear rather than what they see.Presenter: Claudia Hammond Producer: Jonathan Blackwell

This week on Cleaning Up, Bryony Worthington is joined by Peter Cox, Professor of Climate System Dynamics at the University of Exeter and Director of the Global Systems Institute. A former lead author of the IPCC climate reports, Peter has spent decades studying the complex feedbacks between the climate, carbon cycle and natural world. They delve into some of the biggest questions in climate science today: Is the planet warming faster than we thought? What is the role of forcing versus feedback? How much of the recent change is being driven by external forces, including the decline of reflective sulphur pollution, and how much is the climate system responding in ways that amplify warming?

Strategic planning in higher ed can easily become a long, complicated process that produces a rigid document that no one ends up really using. In this episode, Dr. Sarah Holtan, Associate Provost at Carroll University and host of the Get Down to College Business podcast, shares how her institution approached strategic planning as a collaborative, data-informed, and adaptable process. She discusses building a representative core team, narrowing dozens of ideas into a few signature commitments, using AI to identify themes, separating strategy from operations, and creating an action plan that can evolve as circumstances change.Guest Name: Dr. Sarah Holtan - Associate Provost at Carroll UniversityGuest Social: LinkedInGuest Bio: Sarah Holtan, PhD, is an Associate Provost and Professor of Communication at Carroll University.

Heino ist Astrophysiker, Professor an der Radboud-Universität in Nimwegen und Autor – und er hat mit seinem Team 2019 das weltweit erste Foto eines schwarzen Lochs realisiert. Ich wollte von ihm wissen, wie unsere Welt eigentlich entstanden ist und was es mit einem Menschen macht, jeden Tag an die Grenzen von Raum und Zeit zu denken. Wir sprechen über physikalische Grenzen, den ersten und zweiten Urknall, die Schwerkraft als kreative Kraft und über Katastrophen, die uns hervorgebracht haben. Es geht um Demut, Freiheit, den Glauben an Gott und die (kleine) Frage nach dem Sinn des Lebens. Das Gespräch wurde am 10.09.2026 aufgezeichnet.

Pregnancy can bring major changes to digestion and bowel habits. But if you're already living with irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C), bloating, abdominal discomfort, or chronic constipation, it can be difficult to know what's related to pregnancy—and what may be related to your digestive condition. In this episode of the Gastro Girl Health Podcast, Dr. Lin Chang, Professor of Medicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and a leading expert in disorders of gut-brain interaction and women's digestive health, explains what patients should know about IBS-C and constipation during pregnancy. You'll learn: • How pregnancy-related constipation differs from IBS-C • Why IBS symptoms may change during pregnancy • What may contribute to increased bloating and constipation • Diet and lifestyle strategies to discuss with your healthcare provider • What to know about the low-FODMAP diet during pregnancy • Treatment and medication considerations • Symptoms that shouldn't automatically be attributed to IBS or pregnancy If you're pregnant—or planning a pregnancy—and live with IBS-C or chronic constipation, this conversation can help you better understand your symptoms and prepare for conversations with your healthcare team. This patient education episode was produced by Gastro Girl in collaboration with the American College of Gastroenterology Patient Care Committee. #IBSC #Pregnancy #Constipation #IBS #Bloating #DigestiveHealth  

In this episode of Reverb Effect, we visit KIN: Us and Our Kinds, an exhibit of paintings, comics, and sculpture by historian and artist Rafael Neis, and ask what happens when creative practice becomes a way of doing history. Drawing on ancient rabbinic stories, KIN explored how kinship, species, and bodies were once imagined as unstable and open to change. We talk with Neis about bringing art and scholarship together, teaching history through hands-on experiments, the medical history of classifying bodies, and how discomfort in front of art can start conversations. Rafael Neis is Hermann P. & Sophia Taubman Professor of Talmudic Culture at the University of California, Berkeley, and was previously Professor of History and Judaic Studies at the University of Michigan. Neis is the author of When a Human Gives Birth to a Raven: Rabbis and the Reproduction of Species (University of California Press, 2023). Cheyenne Pettit received her PhD in History in 2025 and is now Assistant Professor of History at Missouri Southern State University.

Conspiracy theories aren't a sign of poor judgement or personality flaws. Constructed from a shared language, they actually offer a means for someone to try and make sense of an uncertain or stressful event.That's according to Henrich Greve, Professor of Entrepreneurship at INSEAD, speaking on this episode about his new book, co-authored with Stanford University's Huggy Rao: Ctrl+Alt+Doubt: Decoding the Language of Online Conspiracy Talk.Greve explains why anyone can end up believing in conspiracy theories, how "gateway" theories work like gateway drugs, why the calmest, most rational-sounding posts spread the furthest, and why people often hold several contradictory theories at once as a kind of psychological safety net.The conversation also covers real-world harms, from vaccine hesitancy and the return of measles to South Africa's HIV denialism and the January 6th Capitol attack, before turning to what actually works, and what doesn't, in slowing the spread of harmful conspiracies.Chapters00:00 Introduction: why conspiracy theories spread faster than ever02:03 Why the book was written, and what past research got wrong06:36 Defining a conspiracy theory, and how widespread they are11:23 Reframing believers as problem solvers, not "dupes"15:00 How the conspiracy "toolkit" is learned and spreads 21:03 The language of conspiracy talk: calm words, hashtags and community24:23 Why people believe multiple, even contradictory, theories26:56 Real-world harms: vaccines, violence and the return of measles30:28 Conspiracy theories at state level: South Africa, Russia, January 6th34:04 What actually works, and doesn't, in limiting the spread40:34 Closing thoughts and where to find the bookRead the related INSEAD Knowledge article.

In this episode of Behind the Genes, we explore Black communities and health research. Our guests discuss why some people feel research is not intended for them, how historical mistrust affects participation, and what needs to change to make research more inclusive, transparent and beneficial for everyone.  Our host, Sharon Jones, is joined by:  Professor Segun Fatumo - Professor and Chair of Genomic Diversity at Queen Mary's Hospital Christella Matoko - Project manager at Genomics England Hazel Attua - member of the Participant Panel at Genomics England We also hear from Mica and Mary, who took part in the Our health, our stories video on YouTube, who share their reflections on why taking part in research matters for Black communities.  As mentioned in the episode, you can also listen to our latest Genomics 101 episode, What is equity in healthcare?, to learn more about what equity means and why it matters in health research and care.  “Engaging in research is bigger than you. It shapes your community, and it shapes the lives of the children coming in the future.”  You can read the transcript below. Sharon Jones: [00:00:00] Hello, and welcome to Behind the Genes, the podcast that brings you the stories, research, and innovations shaping the future of genomic healthcare. Today, we're exploring Black communities and health research. Why do some Black people feel that research isn't intended for them? What role does trust play in participation? Sharon Jones: And what needs to change to improve health outcomes now and in the future? I'm Sharon Jones, and joining me today are Christella Matoko from Genomics England, [00:00:30] Segun Fatumo, Professor and Chair of Genomic Diversity at Queen Mary's Hospital, London, whose work focuses on improving representation and equity in genomic research, and Hazel Attua, who's a member of the Participant Panel at Genomics England. Sharon Jones: A warm welcome to everyone. So before we dive into these topics, let's start first to try and understand how people perceive research and how that can often influence whether they feel it's something for them. So Christella, I'd love to come to you [00:01:00] first. What comes to mind when you hear the words health research? Christella: I think when I'm talking about health research, what comes to mind is the opportunities to understand certain health conditions in different communities, and it's about understanding that we can get better treatments, and these treatments can prevent health inequalities. Although I might look at it from this lens, the whole of the Black community might not. Christella: I have the knowledge of medical care. I work in Genomics England, [00:01:30] so I understand the benefits of, um, health research and how it can improve outcomes within the healthcare. But when you speak about it in terms of the Black community, research doesn't necessarily sit naturally because of all of the historical mistrust that we've, you know, encountered. Sharon Jones: Yeah. Christella: So for me, good healthcare research should ultimately lead to better outcomes for everyone. And I think when I hear [00:02:00] health research, that's like what I like to think about. Sharon Jones: Yeah. Thank you. Thank you for sharing that. And, and Hazel, like coming to you, does that reflect what you've seen or experienced? Sharon Jones: You know, do you feel that research feels relevant to Black communities and why do you think some people may feel hesitant in, in taking part? Hazel: Yeah, I mean, I completely agree with Christella. I think it's difficult for people in the Black community to sometimes trust when research comes out [00:02:30] because previously there's been a lot of mistrust around research because there hasn't always been a lot of research within the Black communities. Hazel: Like when we talk about research, when we talk about, um, for example, with National Genomic Research Library, so when I used to do work with Genomics England- Christella: Mm. Hazel: I specifically was, um, working on the National Genomic Research Library within, um, diverse data. [00:03:00] And so our role was to get more diverse data into the National Genomic Research Library. Hazel: And so for those that don't know what that is, it's like a biobank. And so a biobank is essentially, um, where you help collect samples. So if you've decided to get into research, it's collecting samples, processing samples. So when we decided to do the initiative or when Genomics England decided to do this initiative, I thought it was [00:03:30] amazing because essentially not that much research was done previously for the Black communities. Hazel: And specifically for sickle cell. So to be able to do this, to be able to help understand the background for sickle cell for the Black communities, it's amazing. To be able to get more treatments and interventions, it's great. But like Christella is saying, like, it's interesting to see different people's [00:04:00] perspectives because, again, the trust and the misconceptions around research is different in everybody's eyes because of the, the lack of research that's been done before. Hazel: And so the hesitation around it is like, "Why, why is it only coming about now?" Like, "Why are we doing it now?" But that's the thing about the UK, we're such a diverse population, and it's amazing. So research needs to reflect that. [00:04:30]And so I think hopefully going forward, it actually does do that because we do need treatments and interventions that actually reflect the community. Hazel: Otherwise, we're not gonna get anywhere when it comes to medications, like, health data that actually reflects everyone. Sharon Jones: So we're gonna hear from Mary now, who's a research nurse and midwife, who shares her thoughts on why people [00:05:00] may be hesitant in taking part in research. Mary (Clip): Within the Black community, historically, the lack of participation in research stems from a lack of trust. Historically, I guess the best way to put it is why would I go to a party I've never been invited to? And it's trying to get people to understand that narrative has changed. The lack of trust should never be dismissed. Mary (Clip): It's not a, a myth. It stems from [00:05:30] somewhere. However, there's been so, so, so much change, and I'm hoping that people can see that there are people that really want to make this change for you, for me, for us, for our community. It's so important that, yes, we still hold on to the history of where research is coming from, but we need to paint the picture of the future. Sharon Jones: So Mary's analogy of being invited to a party you've never been to really gets to the heart of that question around trust. So [00:06:00] Segun, I'd love to bring you in at this point. From your experience working to improve representation in genomic research? Sharon Jones: Can you explain to listeners why historically Black communities have felt disconnected to research, and what needs to change to make it feel like it's something for the community rather than something that's being done to the Black community? Segun: So I think we need to get to a point where we acknowledge that there's mistrust. Segun: So some Black community are fed the old, kind of research that is being done on them and not being done with them. You cannot just show up in a community and start asking for their blood sample or asking for their data, and you just do research on them without, uh, proper community [00:07:00] engagement, without getting them involved, without asking them what are the things that are really very, very important, uh, to them. Segun: I think, uh, we researchers and also institution and as well as a nation, UK, where we are taking a lead in global genomics, needs to get to a point where we understand that the trust h-has gone, and, uh, we should not expect the Black community to [00:07:30] give us their trust. Segun: We need to get to a point that where we earn that trust from them, and we're able to do our study on them. So currently in the UK, if you look at some of those, uh, very successful, uh, Black community is really underrepresented. And one of the reason why you hear that is they say that the Black community, they are very hard to reach. Segun: So they're hard to reach because of the same issue. Community engagement has to [00:08:00] be done in a proper way. Yeah, you need to do research in a way that you go to those Black community and don't expect them to come to you. Segun: And we see a lot of that during, uh, during COVID. You see that many, uh, Black community were very hesitant to participate in any vaccine. So we need to get to a point where Black community earn our trust. Sharon Jones: Thank you. Christella, [00:08:30] what do you think about the role that trust plays in deciding whether to participate in research? Sharon Jones: You, you know, given that you've worked on the Generation Study. Christella: I think trust has to be earned, and I think Segun has said it perfectly here in terms of working with the community and coming into the community to understand how the community works. This mistrust that we're talking about is not something of today. Christella: It's something which has been reported on. It's something which we have seen. It's something which has-- it's not a made-up thing. [00:09:00] So when, um, when organisations say Black communities are harder to reach, there is reason for it. That cannot be an excuse not to actually participate with those people in the community to show the difference in which we have made over the years, to understand that we are making changes with the transparency of what we do, you know, creating, um, work which you know where your data is going, because at the end of the day, I'm giving away my [00:09:30] sample. Christella: I want to know who will have access to that sample, where that sample will go. And until we get to a point where we understand that trust has to be earned, it's always gonna be quite difficult if we think Black community are just gonna participate because there's a research available. Sharon Jones: And that's a really fair point. And what do you think, given your sort of experience, what do you think helps build that trust in practice? Christella: I think first of [00:10:00] all, um, not telling and actually going into communities and understanding. So when we talk about the Black community, it's not just a small group of people. Christella: There are Black Caribbeans, there are Black Africans, there are people from different tribes within different countries. So it's not just a, a one-size-fits-all kind of thing here. Yeah. So it's understanding what you're actually trying to achieve, going into places where the Black community [00:10:30] actually congregate, so whether that is church, whether that's community events, whether that's, uh, Black-based events, actually going in and understanding what is it that you would like us to do to show that we are not the research of, you know, the, the early 19th century? Christella: What have we done to show that we are progressing in terms of equality? What have we done in terms of how we're using your data? All those things there, it's not about [00:11:00] things being done to the Black community. It's the, it's the partnership, I think, that needs to be at the forefront of what we do now. Sharon Jones: Yeah. Yeah, and Hazel, coming to you, what do you think enables that participation? Hazel: Again, 100% agree with Chrisella and Segun that it's all about coming to the community and building that trust because it's, it's difficult, and it's about showing up and not just [00:11:30] showing up once. Hazel: It's about consistently showing up and consistently building that trust because it's easy to do a workshop or do an engagement once and tell everyone this is what you're trying to achieve. But if you consistently show everyone who you are, what the research that you're trying to do is, it's not just about telling them about the research, it's understanding who they are before you actually trying to gauge them about the research because, like, [00:12:00] it's breaking down their walls and breaking down their barriers. Hazel: As a Black community, we build up these walls, and I say it as we because we've been let down so many times and- Hazel: like, I say this from my experience, from times where, from the sickle cell community, for example We had treatments that were brought in, so there was, for example, crizanlizumab and [00:12:30] voxelotor that were brought in, and they were approved in, uh, like, 2023, 2024. Hazel: But then in 2024, they were then taken away. So early '24, crizanlizumab was then taken off the shelf. Sharon Jones: Right. Hazel: And then late September, October, voxelotor was then taken off the shelf, and that's very disheartening for patients with sickle cell. And in the Black community, you can see how also people have been let down [00:13:00] again and again Sharon Jones: Yeah. Hazel: in not just healthcare, but in general, like the stigma, the discrimination. And so to come in and just ask people to just get involved in research and then done and dusted- Sharon Jones: Mm-hmm ... Hazel: it's all about treating them as people before asking them to get involved in research. We have to be treated as people before we get involved in anything. Hazel: So it's, I think that's how you get [00:13:30] people to be involved and enable them to get involved in research. Sharon Jones: Yeah. Hazel: It's just treating them as people before anything else. Sharon Jones: And were there any factors for you that, you know, at first you might not have felt comfortable taking part, and what were sort of deciding factors that made you to get involved and participate? Hazel: So for me, coming from, like, a personal point of view, 'cause I was on voxelotor, um, for me It, again, it was very disheartening- Mm-hmm ... um, when it was taken off the shelf, [00:14:00] and it was done very quickly overnight. Sharon Jones: Right. Hazel: And so for me, it's kind of one of those things where it's like, hmm, what do I do? Do I just not trust the system anymore? Sharon Jones: Yeah. Hazel: But then, like the flip side to that is, okay, we've had this drug, and it actually worked for me very well. And the look of that is, okay, so we've had this drug. It was amazing. The potential is we'll get more drugs that will be like this. And so [00:14:30] going into the Diverse Data program and thinking about how we approach people to say, "If you can get involved in this study, the likelihood is we actually might get more drugs, more treatments, more interventions that are going to be as amazing as Voxzelator was." Hazel: Because the likelihood is we've had a drug that was great, and we could actually get more drugs that could be available. Sharon Jones: Yeah. Hazel: But we need research to do it because at the end of the [00:15:00] day, it's research. It's gonna take time, and the results are always gonna shift up and down. So yes, it can be disheartening, but at the end of the day, we've got to keep trying. Hazel: Otherwise, if we don't keep trying, then we're not gonna get anywhere. Sharon Jones: Yeah. Hazel: So I had to ... You have to bite the bullet sometimes, and that's all you can do. So yeah, I think that was what shifted my mindset from not [00:15:30] -from being upset about it to then actually looking at the positives around it. Sharon Jones: Yeah. Yeah. I mean, that is a difficult reframe when something that is working so effectively is suddenly kind of shelved, uh, very quickly like that. Sharon Jones: So changing your mindset couldn't have been, couldn't have been easy. Christella? Christella: When we're talking about what, what, um, Hazel has just said in terms of something was available to everyone and then it wasn't available, and then that goes again to what I say about [00:16:00] transparency. I think if there was more transparency about what was happening with this particular drug in the community, there would be that, that trust that would have, there would be more of an understanding, there would be more of a, like Hazel's taken the, the stance of, "Okay, I will still trust in the research because I believe something better will come along." Christella: It's because of also her knowledge within the research. She's been around- she's been around Genomics England, she's been with people that research has really helped. But those in the [00:16:30] community who haven't, they feel disheartened about this, and this is why I say transpare- transparency about what is happening is so important with our community 'cause we-- so we don't feel like things are just being done to us, we actually understand the reasons behind it. Christella: So for me, there's a few points. It's having people who represent the community actually being clinicians, um, being researchers, you know, leading in these community spaces, the transparency, the [00:17:00] long-term relationship that Hazel was talking about within the community. It's not you come in once and then, you know, you get what you want, and then you leave again. Christella: It's also sharing the findings, and it's also having a trusted message constantly in order for the Black community to actually participate in these research. Sharon Jones: Thank you, Christella. So we've got these themes of, like, consistency around trust, around communication, transparency. So Segun, I wanted to come to you now. Sharon Jones: So why-- if people at [00:17:30] home are still trying to understand why this is important, can you explain to them why representation matters in research, and what happens when communities are not adequately represented in research? What is the impact, and how does that show up? Segun: So representation matters in research because eventually a decision about our health will need to be made, uh, with this. Segun: I give you an example of, uh, a, a drug that we have today, medication we have today that is helping to lower cholesterol. So that medication came to be because some African ancestry individuals were involved in a study. So in that study, they found that those African individual, they have, uh, some genetic variation that is helping them to naturally, uh, lower their cholesterol. Segun: So because they included those African ancestry individuals, so we had, uh, PCSK9 inhibitor where the medication was derived. Now this medication is not only useful for, uh, people of, uh, Black community, but for everybody globally. So helping to lower cholesterol and prevent heart attack. Segun: So we are doing ourself harm if we continue to exclude some people from, uh, from res- from research. Diagnosis is very important. So some tool for [00:19:00] diagnosis might not be appropriate for an ethnic group or, or ancestry or maybe, for example, in this case, a, a Black community. Segun: In a research where we get the right diagnosis, uh, the right treatment, uh, for the right people, for the right community. So we cannot just do, uh, all the research on one particular community, and it posts the finding on another community. So representation is really, really very important, not only among, uh, people that participate in research and also in research leadership. Segun: It is much more easier for Black community, uh, to show interest in research if they see somebody that look like them. So the, the representation has to be at every layer, both the [00:18:42] participant and also at the, at the leadership level. Sharon Jones: Yeah. Segun: I give an example for, for my study, uh, genetic risk score, in most of the study that we've done, we've seen that where you develop a genetic risk score from one population, and you try to, uh, transfer that, uh, genetic risk score to a Black community, they do very poorly. Segun: So we need to include-- We need to be able to get to a point where we involve a Black community adequately in studies so that we can [00:20:30] be able to develop, uh, the right genetic risk score to every, every community. Sharon Jones: Yeah. Segun: So represent-representation is really, is really key. Uh, it's not just about fairness. Segun: It's about the, you know, accuracy. It's about, uh, you know, precision. It's about better healthcare. Sharon Jones: Yeah, and it's like you say, it's sort of holistically, it's from participants, but also for people who are working in research that also aids the sort of uptake in participation if you see people who look like you. Sharon Jones: We're now gonna hear from Mica, who is a mum who took part in a Generation study, and she's gonna talk about why getting involved was so important. Mica (Clip): I think as a Black woman, as a Black person, put yourself forward because the narrative at the moment is there's not enough research, and we're getting all these sort of doom and gloom headlines about, you know, Black maternal outcomes, Black men and prostate cancer, for example. And I feel like if we as a community don't put ourselves out there and make ourselves available for research, that narrative isn't gonna change. Sharon Jones: So, Segun, I'd like to come back to you again. On the flip side of that, how can research organisations better involve Black communities? And are there concerns that we've talked [00:20:38] about today that have, uh, been acknowledged and addressed effectively? Segun: So the first thing is that we need to acknowledge there's a problem. Sharon Jones: Yeah. Segun: And we see the Black people are not really, you know, participating in research because of trust. So how do we overcome that? One major thing is relationship or what I call, uh, community engagement. So community engagement is not community consultation. You know, you want to do research, you just [00:22:30] show up at that time you want to do research. Segun: You know, take people's blood sample and go away. So community engagement starts much more years ahead before... So when you have the right relationship with the community, it's much more easier to be able to do research with them. Segun: So we have to ensure that, uh, people that are doing the research are also well represented. So we have people that, that look similar, people that understand the community, uh, people that live among the community, so it's much more easier to help, help us to boost the trust. So the third one that people don't talk a lot about is benefit. Segun: I've done a lot about recruiting people into research [00:21:43] in, in Africa, and there's a benefit sharing component. What we, what we have done in Uganda is that if you have high blood pressure, we have medication. We refer you to, uh, the clinic that is under our own control. Segun: So we support you with your diabetes, support you with your high blood pressure or whatever thing that you have. If we cannot take care of you, that is where we now refer you to either to a doctor or a general, uh, general hospital. This is [00:25:00] really very important that there's a benefit. And also, uh, recently we've been working with, uh, some, uh, big pharmacy company, and we talk about benefit sharing. Segun: Uh, for example, if we done some study, uh, we find some drug and med-medication, and the, the company had make millions of, of USD. So what come back to the community? So now we talk about, okay, can you now build an hospital here in this, uh, village? So we have to think about an appropriate benefit sharing also for the Black community in the UK. Sharon Jones: Thank you. And I know, Christella, you touched upon some of those similar points that Segun made there. What does meaningful community engagement look like for you? Christella: The benefit sharing is so important because we have to understand there is a problem, first and foremost, okay? And we have to understand the impact of that problem. Christella: We have to bring solutions for that problem, but we also need to show those benefits in these communities that we're actually trying to engage with. And for me, when I'm talking about engagement, I'm really looking at co-designing, you know, not just consulting and telling them what to do, but the real difference is between being able to actually co-design the studies around Black people, so you can understand the nuances within the, the communities. Christella: So understanding how to actually engage with these communities is, is really important And I think it's also being honest about the limitations that we have, that we've seen in the past. Christella: You know? It's not about creating engagement which says you are the knight in shining armour and, and you're here to, you know, put a magic wand and [00:24:00] make everything okay. It's literally being honest about, you know, the preconceptions that people have. You know, what you're trying to achieve in the community, that you're actually trying to benefit the community. Christella: It's important that those who are creating these studies don't go into a room and assume how these communities work. It's really about understanding the experience of Black people and letting them be experts of their own experience, using that to then find ways to better engage with, with communities. Sharon Jones: Thank you. And Hazel, is there anything you would like to add? Hazel: I think Cristella and Segun have hit the nail completely on the head. I think co-design is so important when it comes to engaging with the Black community. And I also think that [00:24:49] when it comes to research, it shouldn't just be about the research. Hazel: It should be about, like, essentially giving back to the community as well. So e- exactly what Segun and Cristella were saying. So if we're talking about we need to do questionnaires or giving samples, the community, whoever is, whoever this research is for, should be able to [00:28:30] see results from this. It shouldn't just be a couple of years down the line they still don't know what is coming from this research. Hazel: Because sometimes we do research and people don't understand what's happened to, to this research, and sometimes that is off-putting to people. Sharon Jones: Thanks, Hazel, and we're gonna hear again from Mica, who captures that idea so powerfully Mica (Clip): The research isn't for the NHS, it isn't for any medical institution, it's not for the government. It's for our community. We're at the heart of that research, and, like, we've got a chance to do something about it, and if you're not gonna put yourself out there, then who else is going to? Sharon Jones: So, Segun, how can we ensure the future of healthcare innovations benefit everybody and they don't deepen health inequalities? Segun: I would say that, so what is the benefit of, uh, innovation, if it does not benefit everyone, particularly people that need it the most? Uh, give an example, maybe Hazel will know a lot about this. Segun: So now we have a sickle cell gene therapy. Of course, a few people have benefited, so this probably costs about, uh, millions of USD for one person. This is a great innovation, but who can benefit from it? It's too expensive. No-nobody's able to afford that. So we need to get a point where, so the so-called innovation can get to the right people, people that actually need it, and it's actually cost-effective. Segun: In my own, uh, domain of work, we're trying to develop a new, uh, gene-genomic test or genetic risk score. So what we have seen from the data that is currently available is that, you know, when you develop this, the score from one particular population, it doesn't transfer to other population. So it-- the genetic testing, uh, is a great innovation, but it doesn't, it doesn't really do well in the, in the Black community. Segun: So I think we should have to think much more at the beginning of innovation, uh, whether who is this innovation being prepared for? Who is going to benefit from this innovation? If innovation is not gonna, uh, benefit people that need it most, it doesn't really make any sense. Sharon Jones: That's a good point. And Christella, you also had an example of what happens when communities are not adequately represented in research. Christella: Yeah. So recently, um, in the NHS, they've started to, um, test for [00:27:45] a specific enzyme, which is, which is found in the Black community, um, for cancer patients going through chemotherapy. Originally, there were four enzyme that they tested for, um, in the genes, and they found that there's actually a fifth one which affects Black people within the community. Christella: And it's so important that this happened because Black patients were having, you know, severe side effects to the chemotherapy, and some patients unfortunately passed away due to this particular enzyme. So understanding that our genes do have variants in it and some, as Segun said, some things which work in one community will not always work, um, in a different community. Christella: So now before anyone undergoes a chemotherapy, the cancer patients across England undergo genetic testing, which can then lead into a change of treatment and reduce adverse, um, side effects for the chemo. Now that the NHS can test for this, it's gonna bring better outcomes to those in the Black community going through chemotherapy. Christella: We all know chemotherapy is hard enough to go through, so making it a little bit better for those in our community that are going through it is so important, and that's why we need to be part of this research, 'cause without us, they won't know what's best for us. Sharon Jones: Thank you for sharing that. And if you'd like to understand more about equity, please listen to our Explainer podcast, What Is Equity? Sharon Jones: So let's hear from Mary with a message she'd like listeners to leave with today. Mary (Clip): Thinking about my experiences, I would love listeners to take away the fact that engaging in research is bigger than you. It shapes your community, and it shapes the lives of the children coming in the future. Black communities, we need to know our baseline. Mary (Clip): We need to know where we are starting. It's bigger than us. My engagement helps the granddaughter I don't have, and that's what I need people to know. Sharon Jones: And given what Mary said, I'd like to ask you all, what message would you [00:29:34] like to leave for listeners who are interested in learning about research? I'll come to Christella first . Christella: I think first of all, we have to acknowledge that the questions and the hesitations within the community are very valid, and we have to understand that this makes sense given the history of research. Christella: But I would love listeners to be left with the knowledge that history shouldn't be the final word of our relationship with research. We ask the hard questions that we need to ask and invite those who need to also benefit from this research. And like Mary said, "I'm helping my grandchild that I don't even have yet." Christella: And I think that's how we need to look at it. It's not so much just about us, but it's the future generation. It's about having better outcomes for each and every one of us, and that includes the Black community. So help shape further research, and medicine will actually benefit us in the future. Sharon Jones: Hazel, what message would you like to leave listeners today? Hazel: I think going into research can sometimes be hard. However, I do think research is incredibly important, [00:31:14] especially for the younger generation. Hazel: So I do think that we should get involved. Sharon Jones: Thank you. And Segun? Segun: Yeah, I would like to, uh, recall what, uh, Christella was saying, uh, particularly saying that for everybody, uh, listening to me right now, if you are invited to participate in the research, please participate, you know. Segun: Ask the right question, "What is the research for?" And, uh, how does it benefit you? Maybe not you directly, maybe your children or maybe your grandchildren. Everyone should remember that, uh, so research is ultimately for the people, for better healthcare. Segun: So our contribution really matter. So you're contributing your sample really matter and can change, uh, somebody's life, can change generation. Every participant has something valuable, which is really key. So I would encourage all the listener to participate in research if you are invited. Segun: Thank you. Sharon Jones: I think that's a very salient point. We'll wrap up there. We've covered a lot today, from trust to participation and what is needed to change to ensure that healthcare is for everyone. A huge thank you to our guests, Christella, Segun, and Hazel, for joining me today as we discussed how Black communities are being served in health research.

Who doesn't like a bit of juicy gossip? We tend to think gossip is petty, mean or something we probably shouldn't be doing. Yet practically everyone gossips—and it turns out there are some very good reasons why. Gossip actually serves several useful purposes in our personal and professional lives. It can help us figure out whom to trust, learn what's going on within a group and warn us about people we might want to steer clear of. So why does gossip have such a bad reputation? When does it turn nasty? And is there a right way to gossip? Frank McAndrew is one of the leading researchers on the psychology of gossip. He joins me to explain why we gossip, why most gossip isn't nearly as bad as we think, and how to gossip well. Frank is Professor of Psychology at Knox College in Illinois.

"Uncertainty doesn't mean you know zero. Uncertainty just means you may know 80%, you may know 90%. So I think we're too quick to freak out and say, "Well, if I'm not certain, therefore I know nothing….So I would say get curious about uncertainty. Stop freaking out about it because everything given to you is really here for your growth. It's just how are you going to make the most out of it? …You probably know a lot more than you think you do, or you can get the answer…." Jessica Li on Electric Ladies Podcast We are surrounded by uncertainty today, from AI to climate change to political, cultural and economic upheaval. How can we manage this much uncertainty?  Listen to Jessic Li, managing partner of Align Experience, high performance coach and investor in this enlightening conversation with Electric Ladies Podcast host Joan Michelson. You'll hear about: ●        How she suggests we look at uncertainty, including how to respond to it. ●        How we can make a difference in our daily lives, not just in big ways. ●        What AI cannot replace, what makes us human and how being human is a competitive advantage. ●        Plus, career advice, such as:   " Do a SWOT on yourself. What are your strengths? And then also what are opportunities or what are things that you lose time doing? … Your job in life is to maximize your strengths and what you're good at and minimize your weaknesses….Whatever skillset you have, you can apply it to many different industries…What industries can I apply it to that I would enjoy applying it to?... What industries would give me the lifestyle that I want? And lifestyle is not just money. Lifestyle is also time….So I'm always like, be very clear what your ideal dream life look like in terms of how you wake up, how you spend your time, what you get to do with it, and then build a living around it."  Jessica Li on Electric Ladies Podcast   Subscribe to our newsletter to receive our podcasts, blog, events and special coaching offers.   You'll also like: ·       Impact Investing In New Hands - with Jolyne Caruso, Financial Executive, Investor, Wealth Advisor ·       New Business Models For Philanthropy - Amy Dornbusch, AtlasDaughters, Entrepreneur, Investor, Philanthropist ·       Women's Trillions Drive New Economic Values - with Silvia Bastante de Unverhau, LGT Private Bankers International ·       The Story of Women on Wall Street - with Paulina Bren, Professor at Vassar College and author of "She Wolves: The Untold History of the Women of Wall Street." ·       Get Out Of Your Comfort Zone - Career Advice from 5 Extraordinary Women: Jolyne Caruso, Abby Wulf, Nicole Pearson, Elizabeth Hackenson, and Stacey Solie   Subscribe to our newsletter to receive our podcasts, blog, events and special coaching offers.   Thanks for subscribing on Apple Podcasts or iHeartRadio and leaving us a review!
