Send us a textIn this episode of The Incubator Podcast, Dr. Guilherme Sant'Anna, Professor of Pediatrics at McGill University, joins Ben and Daphna to discuss his team's work on implementing an early bubble CPAP protocol in the delivery room. Although CPAP has long been considered standard practice for preterm infants, Dr. Sant'Anna explains why intubation rates remain high in the most immature babies and how his group sought to change this pattern.The conversation reviews the background of the protocol, which began at McGill in 2014, and the cultural shift required to adopt bubble CPAP as the default approach. Dr. Sant'Anna describes the importance of multidisciplinary training, technical details such as proper prong sizing, fixation, humidification, and suctioning, as well as the challenges of sustaining practice change over a decade.The results of this initiative are striking: lower rates of delivery room intubation, reduced severe BPD, and improvements in outcomes particularly for infants born before 28 weeks. Dr. Sant'Anna also reflects on lessons learned, the global implications of bubble CPAP in resource-limited settings, and the importance of sharing knowledge to improve care everywhere.This episode highlights how attention to detail, persistence, and team culture can transform neonatal respiratory care.Support the showAs always, feel free to send us questions, comments, or suggestions to our email: nicupodcast@gmail.com.

In this episode we speak to Anne Lawrence-Mathers, Professor of History at the University of Reading about her new book Medieval Meteorology: Forecasting the Weather from Aristotle to the Almanac, out this year, 2020, with Cambridge University Press. The practice of weather forecasting underwent a crucial transformation in the Middle Ages. Exploring how scientifically-based meteorology spread and flourished from c.700-c.1600, this study reveals the dramatic changes in forecasting and how the new science of 'astro-meteorology' developed. Both narrower and more practical in its approach than earlier forms of meteorology, this new science claimed to deliver weather forecasts for months and even years ahead, on the premise that weather is caused by the atmospheric effects of the planets and stars, and mediated by local and seasonal climatic conditions. Anne Lawrence-Mathers explores how these forecasts were made and explains the growing practice of recording actual weather. These records were used to support forecasting practices, and their popularity grew from the fourteenth century onwards. Essential reading for anyone interested in medieval science, Medieval Meteorology demonstrates that the roots of scientific forecasting are much deeper than is usually recognized. Professor Lawrence-Mathers is the author of The True History of Merlin the Magician and Magic and Medieval Society,(along with Carolina Escobar-Vargas) as well as a host of articles and reviews about Medieval magic and religion. With this book the author continues her examination of spiritual practice – licit and illicit, clerical and lay – as it was culturally understood in the medieval era.

Go behind-the-scenes at the Tour de France – the biggest race in professional cycling – with Ineos Grenadiers. It's part of a new four-part podcast series, presented by Katie Smith, made in partnership with The Open University.Ineos Grenadiers have won the race six times but the last of those was in 2019, so how are they attempting to find the winning formula again?Listen in on their team talk on the bus ahead of the first stage and hear from 2018 Tour de France winner Geraint Thomas, who was competing in the race for the final time. The team's Performance Director – Dr Scott Drawer – outlines the key responsibilities of his role and how he believes in collaboration, while CEO John Allert explains why the team were so keen to appoint Scott, explaining there's a “war for talent” at the elite level.The Open University's Professor of Sports Performance Education, Ben Oakley tells us how performance directors have become prominent in Olympic sports, how they implement the teams shared values and how the role is different from being a national coach.Also hear about how the role of Performance Director works in other sports, with contributions from Head of Sprints and Relays at British Athletics, Darren Campbell and England Golf's Jenny Henderson.The Team behind the Team is produced in partnership with the Open University.Team Ineos Grenadiers staff member David Rozman does not feature in this series and he was never interviewed or offered for interview during the process of gathering material for the series. Our production team was unaware of historical doping allegations relating to David Rozman and the 2012 season, which they have since been made aware of following the recording of this series.

What if a scan could do more than show you a picture, what if it could tell you a story about what's happening inside a child's body, in real time?That's exactly what Dr. Chris Flask is working to make possible.Dr. Flask is a Professor of Radiology, Biomedical Engineering, and Pediatrics at Case Western Reserve University and University Hospitals of Cleveland. He's at the forefront of an exciting transformation in medical imaging, one that could change the way we care for children with rare genetic diseases like cystic fibrosis (CF) and polycystic kidney disease (PKD).“Our goal is to turn imaging, instead of just image creation, into data,” says Dr. Flask. “We want to create numbers. So we can say, this is what's going on in the lungs. And when we put these patients on modulator therapies, we can see a 10 percent improvement in their lung disease. And similar responses in the pancreas, the liver, and the gut. That's our goal—quantifying it through this fingerprinting methodology.”This approach, MRI fingerprinting, is a revolutionary leap forward. Developed over the past decade at Case Western's MRI center, it's fast, accurate, and most importantly for kids: it requires no sedation, no radiation, and no contrast agents. Each image slice takes just 15 seconds, making it safer and more accessible for the most vulnerable patients.Dr. Flask's work is supported by the NIH, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, and an extraordinary 42-year collaboration with Siemens MRI. Together, they're paving the way for multi-center clinical trials using this technology to better understand disease progression and therapy outcomes.This episode is all about the intersection of science, innovation, and compassion, and the powerful impact of data-driven care.We're honored to welcome Dr. Flask to the show, although he prefers we call him Chris.

Mit einem neuen Angebot eines privaten Flugdienstes hofft der hoch verschuldete Bodensee-Airport in Friedrichshafen auf neue Kunden. Ein Startup-Unternehmen bietet ab heute sogenannte "On-demand"-Flüge an. Der Bedarf der Passagiere soll also ein Stück weit die Flugrouten bestimmen. Um 7.30 Uhr ist die erste Maschine in Friedrichshafen mit Ziel Mönchengladbach gestartet. Eineinhalb Stunden dauert der Flug und kostet ab 150 Euro ohne Gepäck. Nur neun Passagiere haben Platz im Flieger. Der Gründer und Geschäftsführer der Betreiber-Firma geht davon aus, dass das Angebot rentabel und deutlich günstiger sei als einen Privatjet zu chartern. Im Moment hat das Unternehmen neben Mönchengladbach auch Hamburg, Strausberg bei Berlin und Münster-Osnabrück im Angebot, plant aber, seine Routen zu erweitern. Dem Geschäftsmodell liege ein mehr oder weniger klassisches Charter-Modell zugrunde, sagt Christoph Brützel, selbstständiger Berater im Luftverkehrsbereich und langjähriger Professor für Aviation Management an der International University of Applied Sciences in Bad Honnef. "Die Flüge sind ohnehin vorhanden", erklärt er im Gespräch mit SWR Aktuell-Moderator Andreas Böhnisch.

Send us a textIn this episode of The Incubator Podcast, we welcome Dr. Cindy McEvoy, Professor of Pediatrics and Director of Neonatal Research at OHSU, to discuss her work on the use of extended CPAP in preterm infants. CPAP has long been a cornerstone of neonatal care, but how long should stable infants remain on support? Dr. McEvoy shares findings from two randomized controlled trials that explored whether an additional two weeks of CPAP could promote lung growth and improve longer-term outcomes.We review the physiologic rationale behind extended CPAP, including the role of mechanical stretch in stimulating alveolar and vascular development. Dr. McEvoy explains the stability criteria used to determine eligibility for extended CPAP and how her team measured pulmonary function in neonates. Results from her studies showed significant improvements in lung volume, diffusion capacity, and expiratory flows, with early signals of reduced wheezing at one year of age.The conversation also touches on feeding tolerance, the practicalities of implementing extended CPAP in the NICU, and the need for larger multicenter studies to confirm these findings. This episode offers an evidence-based look at how a simple extension of an existing therapy might reshape respiratory outcomes for preterm infants.Support the showAs always, feel free to send us questions, comments, or suggestions to our email: nicupodcast@gmail.com.

On this week's episode we're tackling a topic we've been meaning to discuss for a long time: Despite being pervasive in both performance and medical spaces, SMART goals are no actually an evidence based way to change health and fitness behaviors. They may even, in some cases, be harmful.Our guest, Dr. Christian Swann, is a Professor of Psychology at Southern Cross University in Australia where he leads the Physical Activity, Sport and Exercise Research (PASER) group.Christian's background is in sport and exercise psychology, and his expertise is in goal setting. His research focuses on how to set goals to increase and maintain physical activity, and he is particularly interested in how different goal setting approaches make us feel while we pursue them — as well as how they influence our mental health. As part of an international team of researchers he published ⁠"The (over)use of SMART goals for physical activity promotion: A narrative review and critique."⁠ This article aimed to answer a few key questions:Is the SMART framework based on theory? Is it consistent with existing evidence? Does it consider what type of goal is set? Is it applied consistently? Is it being used as originally intended? Does it carry any risks?Once you learn the history of SMART goals, some of the answers become a lot less surprising...

In this episode we speak to Anne Lawrence-Mathers, Professor of History at the University of Reading about her new book Medieval Meteorology: Forecasting the Weather from Aristotle to the Almanac, out this year, 2020, with Cambridge University Press. The practice of weather forecasting underwent a crucial transformation in the Middle Ages. Exploring how scientifically-based meteorology spread and flourished from c.700-c.1600, this study reveals the dramatic changes in forecasting and how the new science of 'astro-meteorology' developed. Both narrower and more practical in its approach than earlier forms of meteorology, this new science claimed to deliver weather forecasts for months and even years ahead, on the premise that weather is caused by the atmospheric effects of the planets and stars, and mediated by local and seasonal climatic conditions. Anne Lawrence-Mathers explores how these forecasts were made and explains the growing practice of recording actual weather. These records were used to support forecasting practices, and their popularity grew from the fourteenth century onwards. Essential reading for anyone interested in medieval science, Medieval Meteorology demonstrates that the roots of scientific forecasting are much deeper than is usually recognized. Professor Lawrence-Mathers is the author of The True History of Merlin the Magician and Magic and Medieval Society,(along with Carolina Escobar-Vargas) as well as a host of articles and reviews about Medieval magic and religion. With this book the author continues her examination of spiritual practice – licit and illicit, clerical and lay – as it was culturally understood in the medieval era.

In our 14th episode with Australian economist Bill Mitchell, the conversation focuses on the MMT perspective on international trade. Bill explains what is meant by the statement “imports are a benefit, and exports are a cost,” where it fits into the history of economic thought, and some of its implications. A significant portion of the conversation is dedicated to explaining the crucial shift from the Bretton Woods fixed exchange rate system to the modern system of floating exchange rates after 1971. Bill clarifies that in a floating regime, a currency-issuing government is not financially constrained in its domestic policy by “trade imbalances,” as it was under Bretton Woods. The episode also touches on bond vigilantes, the IMF, and the shifting status of the US dollar as the world's reserve currency. William Mitchell is Professor of Economics and Director of the Centre of Full Employment and Equity (CofFEE) at the University of Newcastle, NSW Australia. He is also the Docent Professor of Global Political Economy at the University of Helsinki, Finland, and Guest International Professor at Kyoto University, Japan.

Law and Development: Theory and Practice, 2nd edition (Routledge, 2021) examines the theory and practice of law and development. It introduces the General Theory of Law and Development, an innovative approach which explains the mechanisms by which law impacts development. This book analyzes the process of economic development in South Korea, South Africa, and the United States from legal and institutional perspectives. The book also explains why the concept of "development" is not only relevant to developing countries but to developed economies as well. The new edition includes five new chapters addressing the relationships between law and economic development in several key areas, including property rights, political governance, business transactions, state industrial promotion, and international trade and development. This interview covers the main themes of this book, covers some of his papers, the relationship of his work to other scholars, and serves as a foundation for understanding Dr. Lee's work more broadly. His latest book, Sustainable Peace in Northeast Asia will be the subject of a second interview. Yong-Shik Lee is a scholar in law and development, and is currently Director of the Law and Development Institute and a Professor at West Virginia University. Dr. Lee graduated in economics from the University of California at Berkeley and received law degrees from the University of Cambridge. Previous books include Reclaiming Development in the World Trading System; Microtrade: A New System of Trade Toward Poverty Elimination; Law and Development Perspective on International Trade Law; and Safeguard Measures in World Trade: The Legal Analysis.

EPP 409 Your Customers are Lazy... and Bored: How to Use That to Your Advantage Show Notes:  This week on The Intuitive Customer, Colin takes a step back and welcomes guest host Morgan Ward to explore one of psychology's favourite contradictions: why customers cling to the familiar, yet crave novelty. From music playlists to yogurt purchases, from comfort food to product design, Colin and Morgan unpack why we're wired for both—and how brands can use that tension to create better customer experiences. Best Quote from the Episode “Familiarity earns trust. Novelty earns attention. Get the balance right, and you earn loyalty.” Key Takeaways Customers don't always prefer the familiar or the new—it depends on context and need. Status quo bias (familiarity) is driven by loss aversion and cognitive laziness. Novelty seeking is driven by boredom and our need for optimal arousal. The best products deliver both—“updated classics” that balance safety and stimulation. Ask yourself: is your customer seeking comfort or excitement right now? Your answer determines whether to lean into familiarity or novelty.

Today, I get to speak with Professor Emily Mokros about her fascinating book, The Peking Gazette in Late Imperial China - State News and Political Authority. The book is about a media outlet in the Qing Dynasty that published discussions that the emperor held with his bureaucrats.

Wanna hear the Full Episode? Sign up for the Grad Program! Occam Defense Pistol Discussion The discussion centered on the Occam Defense OD-1775 pistol, which Jarrad described as a smaller version of the rifle, featuring walnut wood and a powerful 10.5-inch barrel. The professor explained that the OD-1775 is considered the "Cadillac of AKs" and noted that Occam Defense also makes accessories for various rifles, including a magwell for Ruger American Ranch rifles. The conversation concluded with a discussion about the evolution of military optics, particularly the adoption of EOTech holographic weapon sights and magnifiers during the Global War on Terror, with the professor having recently published an article about pairing the EOTech XPS2 with a 3x magnifier. Challenges in Mechanical Offset Calculations The discussion focused on the challenges of calculating mechanical offsets in shooting, particularly with high risers on optics. The professor expressed concerns about the trend of using excessive risers, noting that it complicates shooting and training. Jarrad explained that learning to calculate offsets takes time and practice, even in controlled conditions. The conversation also touched on the influence of social media on gear choices, with the Professor warning against buying unnecessary accessories before mastering current equipment. Good Samaritan Stabbing Case Update The group discussed a story about an American "Good Samaritan" stabbed in Germany after intervening when two men were harassing female passengers on a tram. The attacker was arrested but later released due to lack of sufficient evidence linking him to the stabbing, despite having previous charges. Jarrad shared details about his Occam Defense pistol, including its specifications and customization options, and mentioned that deposits are currently being accepted for the firearm. Gun Control's Futility and Absurdity The discussion focused on the futility of gun control measures, using examples from England, Australia, and other countries where disarmament has not reduced violent crime. The professor emphasized that gun control is ultimately about control and that left-wing ideologies, including communism and socialism, seek to disarm citizens to increase state power. The conversation concluded with a discussion of Australia's recent ban on machetes, highlighting the absurdity of such restrictions and the failure of gun control to address the root causes of crime.

The psychedelic revolutionWill LSD, Psilocybin, MDMA, and Ketamine treatments live up to the hype?For decades, psychedelics were derided as dangerous recreational drugs; now many claim they have the potential to revolutionise the treatment of mental health. With hundreds of clinical trials now taking place, the psychedelic therapeutic market is predicted to be over ten billion within the decade. It has been widely thought that psychedelics are effective at treating mental health because of the way they change brain chemistry. But studies from King's College London and Johns Hopkins suggest this is an error, arguing that it's the psychedelic experience that aids mental wellbeing, not the physical brain changes.Should we stop focussing on brain chemistry as the solution to mental health? What is it about psychedelic experience that can aid mental well being and will psychedelics live up to their promise and usher in a mental health renaissance? Or is the hype bubble about to burst and should we look elsewhere for the silver bullet to the mental health crisis of our age?Matthew Johnson is Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioural Sciences at Johns Hopkins University. Shayla Love is a freelance reporter and former senior science writer at Vice News, focusing on psychedelics. Kevin Sabet is the founder of Smart Approaches to Marijuana, and he has been described as the "quarterback of the new anti-drug movement".Don't hesitate to email us at podcast@iai.tv with your thoughts or questions on the episode!To witness such debates live buy tickets for our upcoming festival: https://howthelightgetsin.org/festivals/And visit our website for many more articles, videos, and podcasts like this one: https://iai.tv/You can find everything we referenced here: https://linktr.ee/philosophyforourtimesSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On this Freedom Friday, we wrapped up our weekly theme, “Back to School,” with a few professors and staff members from Moody Bible Institute (MBI). First, we were joined by Dr. John Mabus to discuss healthy spiritual formation. Dr. Mabus is an Associate Professor of Applied Theology and Church Ministries at MBI. For the past 14 years, Dr. Mabus served as a Navy Chaplain, sharing the gospel and caring for people in the context of military life. He also has professional interests in spiritual formation and discipleship, reformation practices in pastoral care and discipleship, suicide prevention and intervention, and leadership advisement and coaching. Then, we were joined by Kelli Worrall to discuss the significance of communication in the Bible. Kelli is a Professor of Communications at MBI and the Field Chair for the Music and Media Arts Division. She is also the author of “20 Things We’d Tell Our Twentysomethings Selves.”Then we had Dr. Mikel Del Rosario join us to discuss the legitimacy of the New Testament Bible manuscripts, despite the differences in their wording. Dr. Del Rosario currently teaches apologetics, philosophy, ethics, and Bible as a Professor of Bible and Theology at MBI. Before coming to Moody, he taught Apologetics classes at Jessup University in California. He has a passion for helping Christians find clear answers to tough questions about Christianity and explaining their faith with courage and compassion. Then we had Dr. Mary Hendrickson join us to discuss how our personalities can affect the way we read the Bible. Dr. Hendrickson is an Assistant Professor of Human Services and Pre-Counseling at MBI. She serves in the Counseling Psychology and Educational Ministries department. We then discussed the importance of “girding up the loins” of our minds, meaning having a sober mind and being alert for whatever comes. This is affirmed in Scripture in Exodus 12:11 and 1 Peter 1:13. You can hear the highlights of today's program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.
