In this episode, we talk to two genetic counselors about their recent publications in a special edition of the Journal of Genetic Counseling focused on research methods in genetic counseling. First, Benjamin Helm delves into statistical approaches and discusses how transparency and honesty in research can lead to more meaningful scientific contributions. Then Kennedy Borle explores the challenges and benefits of integrating qualitative and quantitative approaches in genetic counseling research.   Segment 1: “Research methods in genetic counseling: Statistical approaches and resources”   Benjamin M. Helm, PhD, MS, CGC, is an Associate Professor of Clinical Medical & Molecular Genetics at Indiana University with specific interests in cardiovascular genetics, epidemiology, and public health genomics. He works within the Cardiovascular Genetics program at IU School of Medicine/Indiana University Health. His clinical and academic interests include genetic arrhythmias, congenital heart disease, familial hypercholesterolemia and lipoprotein (a), polygenic score methods, and assessment of population screening for genetic cardiovascular disorders. Additional work extends into public health, improving investigation of genetic risk factors for sudden death in infants and children and birth defect surveillance in Indiana.   In this segment we discuss: Importance of systematic bias and robust study design Understanding parametric research: assumptions, sample size, and data behavior Common misconceptions, such as the over-reliance on p-values for legitimacy and the pitfalls of p-hacking Encouragement for genetic counselors to engage with statistical research   Segment 2: “Using mixed methods for genetic counseling research”   Kennedy Borle is a board-certified genetic counsellor and PhD Candidate in Interdisciplinary Studies at the University of British Columbia. Her research is focused on understanding unmet need for clinical genetic services to improve equitable access to care. Kennedy is also passionate about promoting high quality and justice oriented genetic counselling research practices.   In this segment we discuss: The complexities and advantages of using mixed methods in genetic counseling Challenges of integrating qualitative and quantitative data The importance of rigorous planning and study design How collaboration can enhance research outcomes   Would you like to nominate a JoGC article to be featured in the show?

We welcome back Randy Carter (from Swarm of Comics) for a soaring discussion on the Golden and Silver Ages of superhero comics! The Golden Age of comic books in the United States spanned 1938 to 1956, beginning with the 1938 debut of Superman in Action Comics #1. And the Silver Age is generally considered to span 1956 to 1970. That period began with the publication of DC Comics' Showcase #4 (October 1956), which introduced the modern version of the Flash, Barry Allen. For this episode, your Octo-hosts will each pick 1 superhero from the Golden Age and 1 from the Silver Age! As usual, you can expect plenty of deep cuts and rambling as we navigate this enormously important period of time. Nuff said? Follow Randy Carter's Swarm of Comics, on his ongoing CGC unboxing adventures! And if thrashy death metal is your thing... you gotta put Swarm of Eyes in your ear holes! ----------------------------------------Retro Ridoctopus is:• Parasite Steve (read)• 8-Bit Alchemy (listen) • Coopster Gold (join) • Nintenjoe (subscribe)----------------------------------------All original heavy metal music by Enchanted Exile

Guest: Jay Shaw, MS, CGC, Senior Product Manager, Fulgent Genetics Host: Dan Bulger, Progyny    The Fertility 101 Series, because there's no shortage of daunting terms to keep your mind running, is a quick and dirty breakdown on a specific topic with insights from a fertility expert.  Today's episode is a deep dive into the role of genetics in fertility care and planning. We're joined by Jay Shaw, a certified genetic counselor and Senior Product Manager at Fulgent Genetics, who walks us through the basics and beyond when it comes to genetic testing.  We start with a foundational overview, and Jay makes sure to break down the medical jargon for us. What is genetic testing? And what do terms like “carrier screening,” “single gene disorder,” and “pathogenic variant,” actually mean?   From there, Jay explains how test results can inform decisions around IVF, embryo selection, and prenatal diagnostic testing. She also walks us through options available to people and couples when carrier screening reveals shared risks, including IVF with genetic testing, sperm or egg donation, and early interventions during pregnancy or at birth.   Jay also shares how genetic testing is expanding with new tools for cancer screening, direct-to-consumer options, and exciting advancements on the horizon, including genome sequencing and the potential for AI to transform how we interpret genetic results.   Genetic testing is a crucial part of the family-building journey, protecting the health of your baby and ensuring a well-informed pregnancy. Tune in to hear all that it has to offer.  For more information, visit Progyny's Podcast page and Progyny's Education page for more resources.

Struggling with creative burnout? You're not alone. Most DTC brands do. They cycle through the same ad concepts, watch their CAC climb, and wonder why scaling feels impossible. In this episode, I break down the three distinct creative pipelines that power our 3,000+ monthly ad machine – systems any founder can implement regardless of team size. You'll discover why traditional creative approaches fail at scale, how to build self-replenishing content streams, and the exact framework we use to generate high-converting creative without endless production costs. Whether you're hitting a growth ceiling or planning your next phase of expansion, these three pipelines will transform how you approach creative forever. Stop treating content as a cost center and start building your own creative factory.P.S. Have any questions?

Is the old playbook of just churning out more content officially broken? In a world saturated with noise and rapidly evolving AI tools, the game is changing faster than ever. If you're feeling the pressure of the attention economy and wondering how to adapt your strategy, this episode is for you.Sam Silverman sits down with Dan Ragan, founder of UGC Factory (one of the largest performance video creative agencies in the US), for a deep dive into the seismic shifts happening in digital marketing and content creation. Dan doesn't hold back, sharing sharp insights on why simply increasing volume might be a losing game and what AI really demands from creators and businesses moving forward.Listen in to hear Sam and Dan unpack:The real state of the "attention crisis" and why Dan thinks traditional diagnoses might miss the mark.How AI is transforming content generation and the future of authenticity.Actionable strategies for building robust systems for sustainable content creation.The critical difference between organic UGC and paid creator content (CGC).Why Dan favors paid communities over courses for real growth and connection.Dan's candid thoughts on traditional education and business automation.A glimpse into the future of health optimization, peptides, and longevity tech.This conversation is packed with insights for entrepreneurs, marketers, content creators, and anyone looking to build sustainable wealth and break free from the conventional path – core principles we explore here on the Freedom Framework Show.

This interview kicks off with absolute chaos and doesn't slow down until the credits roll. Brian Michael "B-Money" Bendis and Soo Lee join Dan to talk about WELCOME TO TWILIGHT Issue #2. This is their first installment in the Minor Threats Universe! We dig into their issue, their new characters, and so much more in our extremely fun chat. Oh also, Bendis talks about the time he signed a living breathing dog, but he had NOTHING to do with the CGC grading! WELCOME TO TWILIGHT is the first anthology series from the world of Minor Threats that lines up absolute superstar teams to tell stories set through the Minor Threats Universe. In Issue 2, A brand-new character so dangerous she was never spoken of until now. Find out her connections to the past and how they're gonna affect the future of the city. Co-created by the creator of the Peabody-winning Jessica Jones and the Bram Stoker (Not Stroker, that's a very different and much sexier award show which we talk about) award-winning co-creator of Carmilla, Soo Lee! Soo Lee talks about the design of the new character Dokkaebi with her own heritage and anime influences. As someone who is an expert on the Minor Threats universe, she is my favorite addition since Crab Louie. She fits so well, and I cannot wait to see where she goes from this absolutely STELLAR introduction WELCOME TO TWILIGHT. Bendis discusses his return not only to writing cape comics but also to writing comics in a shared space like this. He discusses how inspiring the duo of Patton Oswalt and Jordan Blum is as someone who loves collaborating with people. We all spend a lot of time gushing over Minor Threats, and I am not sorry about it. If you aren't reading the Minor Threats line... You're missing out on the absolute ultimate thing in comics.

In January of 2025, CGC Grading announced that they had received playtest cards for the first set release in Japan (October 1996). Discussed with a person close to the creation of the Japanese game, the cards were deemed "the real thing" and the grading process begin. As linked, and discussed in the episode CGC subjected these cards to a bevy of tests to assure their authenticity but it wasn't until they made it into public hands that they were found to be counterfeit. Is this episode we discuss what happened and what has happened to the reputation of CGC. How we view them currently. How we would handle their slabs. And most importantly, if we would trust them again. https://www.cgccards.com/news/article/13730/ https://www.elitefourum.com/t/many-of-the-pokemon-playtest-cards-were-likely-printed-in-2024/52421 https://web.archive.org/web/20250116144948/https://www.cgccards.com/news/article/11742/pokemon-prototype-cards/
