Osteosarcoma Webinar Series: Janeala Morsby, PhD, a postdoctoral associate at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, discusses her OutSmarting Osteosarcoma funded work focused on exploring the mechanism of synergy of the dual inhibition of ATM and PARP for the treatment of pediatric osteosarcoma.Janeala Morsby hails from the beautiful island of Jamaica, where she was born and raised in Port Antonio, Portland. Her journey to the United States began when she received a full honors scholarship to attend Claflin University, where she completed her Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry, summa cum laude. She then went on to complete her PhD at the University of Notre Dame under the supervision of Dr. Bradley Smith. At the University of Notre Dame, her work focused on the detection of hypoxia in cancer cell models, in addition to diagnostics and imaging. She is now a postdoctoral associate at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital (SJCRH) in Dr. Lillian Guenther's lab. At SJCRH, her work focuses on exploring the mechanism of synergy of the dual inhibition of ATM and PARP for the treatment of pediatric osteosarcoma. She is very passionate about the proposed research project and hopes that the findings of the proposed work will be beneficial to pediatric osteosarcoma patients.

This episode features Prof. Kevin Foster PhD from University of Oxford (UK), speaking about his lab's ecological approach to the gut microbiome and efforts to understand and predict dynamics of different species in the microbiome. They also focus on how these ecological dynamics map onto health outcomes, and how they inform interventions. In a 2023 paper, they explored the concept of colonization resistance in the gut, and why certain bacteria or combinations of bacteria are particularly good at preventing pathogens from thriving. Both diversity and composition are important for determining the extent to which a community resists a pathogen. But a microbiome may equally resist a probiotic that's introduced because the probiotic microorganism doesn't have access to a unique nutrient. How bacteria interact with each other can help determine resiliency or stability of the microbiome overall. While it's true that hundreds of species of bacteria exist in the gut, the scale at which the microbes interact locally is much more limited (on the scale of tens of species). Episode abbreviations and links: 2023 paper examining colonization resistance against 2 pathogens: Microbiome diversity protects against pathogens by nutrient blocking.  About Prof. Kevin Foster PhD: Professor Kevin Foster FRS is the Chair of Microbiology at the Dunn School of Pathology, University of Oxford. Prior to this, he was Professor of Evolutionary Biology in the departments of Biology and Biochemistry at Oxford. Before Oxford, he had a lab at Harvard as a Bauer Fellow in the FAS Center for Systems Biology. He did his undergrad at Cambridge in Natural Sciences and his Ph.D. at the University of Sheffield in evolutionary biology. Professor Foster's research integrates the traditional fields of ecology and evolution with the latest methods in computation, microbiology, molecular genetics, and the study of the mammalian microbiome. The lab focuses on how bacteria compete and succeed in their communities and seeks to use this to manipulate gut communities for better health.

Do your kids “catch” your stress—and you hate how quickly the mood at home drops?What if the fastest way to raise happy kids is to model authentic joy (not fake calm)—even while cleaning a messy kitchen?In this video, we unpack how parents set the emotional tone at home—and why your child has been watching you from birth to learn how to do life. You'll learn how to raise your emotional baseline on purpose (water, breath, sunlight, movement), process triggers so you're not pretending, and lead with real peace your kids can imitate. You can't fake it—kids feel the truth—so let's build the real thing.What you'll learn:Modeling vs. masking: why kids imitate your state (and can't be fooled)Story → state: how the meaning you give messes determines your moodMorning biochemistry reset: water, breath, sunlight, movement = instant upliftFrom nagging to leading: make chores joyful by choice, not drudgeryTriggers, then tools: journaling, breathwork, micro-meditations, and the “jukebox” swap (remove the old CD for good)Key Takeaways✅ Parents create the climate—kids grow the weather✅ Authentic calm beats performative patience (they can tell)✅ Biochemistry is leverage: hydrate, breathe, move, sunlight✅ Choose joy while you work—easier to recruit help✅ Process & replace triggers so old songs stop playingMemorable Quotes

Today's guest uses craft chocolate as a way to introduce people to a subject they might otherwise feel intimidated by: chemistry.Professor Robyn Araiza teaches at California State University San Marcos. She leads a class called the Chemistry of Chocolate, which was first created by her colleague Dr. Jackie Trischman about a decade ago. The important thing about this class is that it's not really intended for chemistry students. It's a GE course for non-STEM majors.I met Robyn through our mutual friend Jorge Torres. Jorge took Robyn's class, and he's been a long time listener and supporter of Bean to Barstool. Jorge reached out to me a while back to share his excitement about this class, and about the unexpected way Robyn's research has overlapped with our interests here at Bean to Barstool: she ran a study a few years back looking at caffeine and theobromine levels in coffee and chocolate beers, respectively. Robyn was kind enough to sit down with me to talk about her research, but primarily to discuss her innovative chemistry of chocolate class, and how chocolate and the sensory process can be used in an educational setting to make a complicated subject more approachable. We also hear from Jorge about his own experience as a student in the class.Guests:Robyn Araiza began her studies at CSU San Marcos (CSUSM) in the Literaturedepartment but was inspired and mentored by CSUSM professors to eventually earn her B.S. in Chemistry and later, her Master of Science in Chemistry. She is currently a PhD student in Analytical Chemistry under the mentorship of Dr. Kevin Schug at the University of Texas at Arlington, while on CSUSM teaching faculty in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry. She is also a Science & Conservation Research Associate with the San Diego Botanic Garden, supervising scientists on SDBG medicinal plant research collaborations. As the CSTEM Mentoring and Outreach Fellow much of her time is also dedicated to mentorship, community education, and outreach. Her roles include being a Super STEM Saturday Coordinator, and Faculty Director of the CSTEM Professional Mentoring Program and Blueprints Peer Mentoring Program, focused on mentorship and career development for students in the program. Her passion for early childhood outreach has led to work with The Center for Research and Engagement in STEM Education as well as helping create STEM focused Girl Scout merit badges. She's also teaches “Chemistry of Chocolate”, an upper division GE course that attracts 200+ students annually from every imaginable major. As a passionate advocate for equity in STEM, Robyn is committed to diversifying instructional strategies both inside and outside the classroom. She consistently seeks innovative ways to inspire students and share her enthusiasm for the sciences.Jorge Torres is the associate producer of the Capital of Craft Podcast, a member of the San Diego Brewers Guild Education Committee, and a U.S. Navy Reservist.

You've heard it all: “The truth about carbs,” “The truth about hormones,” “The truth about fasting.” But here's the real truth—context matters, and no single “truth” out there applies to every woman, every body, or every season of life.In this episode, I break down why most health advice is only a sliver of the full picture—and why lasting change doesn't come from copying and pasting what worked for someone else. Instead, you'll learn how to approach your health like a scientist: with curiosity, patience, and small, consistent actions that actually get down into your cells. You're not broken. You're just stuck in the wrong story.Here's what we cover:Why most “truths” about health are missing contextThe real reason your results aren't changingHow long it actually takes to see change at the cellular levelThe drip-drip-drip method vs. the bucket approach to health5 evidence-based habits to start today: walk, track, sleep, plan, eat proteinWhat your biology needs (and what it doesn't)There's no magic protocol. Just consistent inputs over time. Start anywhere.

“At some point, feeling good wins over old thoughts.” –VJ HamiltonStruggling with autoimmune disease — or uncomfortable symptoms that you've just learned to live with? What if you could reverse your symptoms? I'm so excited to talk with VJ Hamilton, registered nutritionist and a functional medicine practitioner who specializes in autoimmune disease.I was diagnosed with celiac disease fairly late in life. When I was diagnosed, it just made so much sense and explained so many things. It also led to change. And that can be hard to navigate on your own.Perimenopause and menopause symptoms and those of autoimmune diseases — like brain fog, joint aches, and fatigue — can be signs of both. Plus shifts in hormones can certainly trigger changes or unmask hidden inflammation. Testing and treatment can help.We talk about: Autoimmune disease 101 — what we're actually talking aboutTriggers vs. root causes and how to find the root causeHow to advocate for yourself with doctors and what other practitioner you might want to seeSimple changes you can make to improve your healthFocus not on what you have to cut out for food or what exercise you have to do, but what you need and what you likeEating whole foods instead of prepared meals and how to navigate restaurants and special eventsABOUT VJVJ Hamilton is the founder of The Autoimmunity Nutritionist and an expert in autoimmune disease, specialising in skin disorders, chronic fatigue, joint health, and digestive issues for both men and women.As a Registered Nutritionist with a Medical Science degree (BSc) in Biochemistry & Immunology and having completed the full certification programme at the renowned Institute for Functional Medicine, VJ uses evidence-based nutritional therapies to support her clients in transforming their health.LINKShttps://theautoimmunitynutritionist.com/https://www.instagram.com/theautoimmunitynutritionist/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/theautoimmunitynutritionist/ DOABLE CHANGESAt the end of every episode, we share three doable changes, so you can take what you've heard and put it into action. Action is where change happens. But here's the thing: when we have a goal, a wish, a desire bubbling up in us, it can feel really huge. Sometimes we stop ourselves in our tracks based on how huge our desire feels. Change needs action, but it doesn't need huge action. When we focus on the next step, the next Doable Change that we can integrate into our lives, we don't get stuck and we create momentum. Choose one Doable Change that resonates with you today and really play with it. Fit it into your life, your days, make it work for you — then move on to your next Doable Change. Here are Three Doable Changes from this conversation: MAKE A LIST OF THINGS YOU LOVE TO DO. Changing your lifestyle doesn't have to be terrible! Make a list of things you love to do. Ways you like to be active, rest, connect with others. Make a list of things that make you feel good! Plan for more of those things in your life. That might look like swapping dancing for a gym session or eating food that gives you energy or going to bed on time.RESET IDEAS AROUND FOOD. Here are a few ways to try this Doable Change. First, instead of asking, “What do I have to cut out?” think about what foods you can...

In this thought-provoking episode of The Lebanese Physicians Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Rose Mary Boustany, Professor of Pediatrics and Biochemistry at the American University of Beirut, and a pioneering figure in neurogenetics and autism research. Together, we explore the complex roots of autism from genetic and epigenetic influences to environmental and neurobiological factors and discuss how these discoveries are transforming both research and care. Dr. Boustany reflects on her decades-long journey in pediatric neurology, the evolution of autism understanding worldwide, and the pressing need for global collaboration to bridge scientific gaps. The conversation also tackles common myths about autism's causes, and how deeper scientific insights can enhance early diagnosis, intervention, and compassionate care for families. Join us as we go beyond the headlines to unpack the science, the challenges, and the promise of future breakthroughs in autism research   #AutismResearch #Neurogenetics #LebanesePhysiciansPodcast #GeneticsAndEnvironment #Epigenetics #PediatricNeurology #AutismAwareness #GlobalHealth #Neuroscience #MedicalInnovation #LebanesePhysicians #HealthPodcast Available on all podcast apps and on YouTube

The Love Bite presents us with a woman's refreshing view of the UFO and alien abduction phenomena. Many people find themselves mysteriously thrown into obsessive relationships, but a few otherwise reliable witnesses claim to have been set up into bonding dramas by alien beings. Eve Lorgen is determined to solve the mystery. By her definition, the Love Bite is a kind of "psychic rape" whereby the victim is abducted, then manipulated into bonding with a targeted love partner chosen by the alien beings. The effects of the Love Bite can range from simple break-ups of platonic relationships, to violent divorces and from "puppy love" to sudden urges to marry a stranger. Through several fascinating case histories, Lorgen demonstrates how the aliens may be orchestrating these dramas for their own ends. It is a if the aliens are harvesting human emotional energy.BioEve Lorgen, MA, is a 30-year dedicated counseling and hypnotherapy professional and anomalous trauma researcher.

Episode 208: Nitric Oxide - The Missing Link in Thyroid & Chronic Disease with Dr. Nathan Bryan In this episode, Dr. Eric Balcavage is joined by nitric oxide researcher and author Dr. Nathan Bryan, whose new book The Secret of Nitric Oxide explores why this tiny signaling molecule may be the key to preventing and reversing chronic illness. Together, they dive deep into: What nitric oxide is and why it's foundational for human health. How nitric oxide is made in the body—through both enzymatic and dietary pathways. The connection between nitric oxide, inflammation, oxidative stress, and the Cell Danger Response (CDR). How nitric oxide influences thyroid hormone production, conversion (T4 → T3), and the rise of reverse T3. Why loss of nitric oxide is one of the earliest triggers in chronic disease, including Hashimoto's, cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer's, and more. Common disruptors of nitric oxide production—nutrient deficiencies, environmental toxins, poor lifestyle habits, and even fluoride exposure. Practical steps to restore nitric oxide production naturally for better thyroid, metabolic, and overall health. This is a powerful conversation that reframes nitric oxide not as just a cardiovascular molecule, but as a master regulator of cellular health, energy production, and thyroid physiology.

mRNA vaccines are not supposed to contain DNA. But Dr. Jessica Rose says a new study tested “32 vials of Pfizer and Moderna COVID products that included 16 unique lots… We did not only find DNA, we found it in ALL lots tested and most importantly, the DNA levels were all above pre-designated EMA thresholds of 10 ng/dose.” “We measured the amount of DNA in the vials using 2 methods… (qPCR and fluorometry),” she continues. “It was submitted as evidence on the congressional record by the honorable Senator Ron Johnson.” JP Sears is a comedian, author, and YouTuber known for his satirical take on politics, fitness, and faith.

Dr. Kristen Lynch is a Professor and Chair of Biochemistry and Biophysics at the University of Pennsylvania. Kristen's research focuses on alternative splicing. Her lab is investigating how cells decide when to use an entire portion of the DNA instruction manual versus when to exclude parts of the instructions that are not useful or would be harmful. In particular, Kristen is interested in alternative splicing in the immune system and what happens when cells are faced with an immune challenge. When she's not at work, Kristen loves being outdoors. She spends her free time kayaking, paddle boarding, biking, hiking, and doing yoga. She received her B.A. in biochemistry and her Ph.D. in biochemistry from Harvard University. Afterwards, Kristen pursued postdoctoral training at the University of California, San Francisco. She served on the faculty at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center prior to joining the faculty at the University of Pennsylvania in 2009. Kristen is the recipient of many awards and honors for her work, including a National Science Foundation CAREER Award. She joined us for an interview to talk about her experiences in life and science.
