In the 1970s, President Richard Nixon declared a “war on cancer.” Today, President Trump seems to be winding it down. Jonathan Mahler, staff writer for The New York Times Magazine, joins host Krys Boyd to discuss how Trump administration efforts to target suspected waste and abuse have shut down vital cancer research, how government funding helped make enormous strides in cancer survival rates, and what happens to patients who find themselves sick with a diagnosis now.

In this episode of Disruption/Interruption, host KJ sits down with Jim Foote, CEO and founder of First Ascent Biomedical. Jim shares his personal journey from technology executive to cancer care innovator, after his son’s diagnosis changed his life. Discover how he’s disrupting the status quo in oncology with AI-driven, personalized medicine that’s giving new hope to patients and families. Key Takeaways: The Problem with Standard Cancer Care [3:53]The standard of care treats patients as if they are the same, but everyone is unique. This approach works two-thirds of the time, but leaves one-third of patients with few options. Functional Precision Medicine [13:04]Jim’s company tests up to 152 FDA-approved drugs on a patient’s biopsy to find the most effective treatment, providing doctors with data-driven options tailored to each individual. AI and Technology are Transforming Oncology [28:05]Advances in AI, robotics, and cloud computing have converged, making personalized cancer treatment faster, more affordable, and more effective than ever before. Impact and Future Vision [26:51]Jim’s goal is for every cancer patient to receive individualized treatment from the moment of diagnosis, improving outcomes and reducing unnecessary side effects.

Jennifer J. Brown is a scientist, a writer, and a mother who never got the luxury of separating those roles. Her memoir When the Baby Is Not OK: Hopes & Genes is a punch to the gut of polite society and a medical system that expects parents to smile through trauma. She wrote it because she had to. Because the people who gave her the diagnosis didn't give her the truth. Because a Harvard-educated geneticist with two daughters born with PKU still couldn't get a straight answer from the very system she trained in.We sat down in the studio to talk about the unbearable loneliness of rare disease parenting, the disconnect between medical knowledge and human connection, and what it means to weaponize science against silence. She talks about bias in the NICU, the failure of healthcare communication, and why “resilience” is a lazy word. Her daughters are grown now. One's a playwright. One's an artist. And Jennifer is still raising hell.This is a conversation about control, trauma, survival, and rewriting the script when the world hands you someone else's lines.Bring tissues.

Surgical resection of perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (pCCA) is one of the highest-risk elective operations performed. The obstructive jaundice suffered by patients preoperatively, central location of the tumors, and extensive nature of the resection make pCCA one of the most challenging HPB disease processes.

This episode of Standard Deviation features Oliver Bogler in conversation with Dr Na Zhao, a cancer biologist caught in the crossfire of science, politics, and survival. Na's life reads like a brutal lab experiment in persistence.She grew up in China, lost her mother and aunt to breast cancer before she turned twelve, then came to the United States to chase science as both an immigrant and a survivor's daughter. She worked two decades to reach the brink of independence as a cancer researcher, only to watch offers and grants vanish in the political chaos of 2025.Oliver brings her story into sharp focus, tracing the impossible climb toward a tenure-track position and the human cost of a system that pulls the ladder up just as people like Na reach for it. This conversation pulls back the curtain on the NIH funding crisis, the toll on early-career scientists, and what happens when personal tragedy fuels professional ambition.Listeners will walk away with a raw sense of how fragile the future of cancer research really is, and why people like Na refuse to stop climbing.RELATED LINKSDr Zhao at Baylor College of MedicineDr Zhao on LinkedInDr Zhao's Science articleIndirect Costs explained by US CongressFEEDBACKLike this episode?

In this episode of the Epigenetics Podcast, we talked with Mo Motamedi from the Center for Cancer Research at Massachusetts General Hospital about his work on RNA-mediated epigenetic regulation. The Interview starts with Dr. Motamedi sharing his personal journey into the realm of biology, sparked by a familial inclination towards science and a challenge to excel in a field that initially felt daunting. His passion was ignited during a genetics class, as he recognized the quantitative nature of the discipline amidst the evolution of modern techniques like qPCR and high-throughput sequencing. Dr. Motamedi goes on to articulate the importance of understanding the interplay between genetics and broader biological systems, emphasizing that an insightful grasp of evolution is vital for decoding cellular mechanisms. He reflects on his time in a postdoctoral lab under Danish Moazet, investigating RNA interference (RNAi) and its unexpected nuclear roles, contributing significantly to the understanding of how RNAi is involved in gene silencing via chromatin interaction. As his narrative unfolds, Dr. Motamedi provides deep insights into his own lab's work, which focuses on the establishment and maintenance of epigenetic states and their implications in cancer epigenetics. He discusses groundbreaking discoveries related to RNAi and heterochromatin, detailing experiments that unveil how specific proteins contribute to transcriptional and post-transcriptional gene silencing. A pivotal theme emerges: the complex dynamics of genome evolution and chromatin organization can be reshaped under various biological contexts, including the quiescent state of cells under stress. Moreover, the discussion traverses recent publications from Dr. Motamedi's lab, revealing how they identify long non-coding RNAs that function as silencers at centromeres, an essential mechanism that aids in the establishment of heterochromatin independently of RNAi. His findings advocate for the idea that well-structured genome organization can lead to more efficient gene regulation, which can also be crucial in therapeutic contexts for various cancers.

Sophie Sargent walked into the studio already owning the mic. A pandemic-era media rebel raised in New Hampshire, trained in Homeland Security (yep), and shaped by rejection, she's built a career out of DM'ing her way into rooms and then owning them. At 25, she's juggling chronic illness, chronic overachievement, and a generation that gets dismissed before it even speaks.We talk Lyme disease, Lyme denial, and the healthcare gaslighting that comes when you “look fine” but your body says otherwise. We dive into rejection as a career accelerant, mental health as content porn, and what it means to chase purpose without sacrificing identity. Sophie's a former morning radio host, country music interviewer, and Boston-based creator with a real voice—and she uses it.No fake podcast voice. No daddy-daughter moment.
