The conversation around AI in education is changing fast, and the latest GSV Learning and Earning Forecast now identifies trust as the factor that will determine the near-term future of AI in the classroom. In this episode, we explore the “AI trust gap” forming between the people racing to expand AI in schools and the educators, parents, and students who are starting to push back. Through discussions with educators, school leaders, learning science researchers, analysts, ed tech developers, AI vendors, and non-profits across the community, we zoom in on the hard questions surrounding AI's future in education. What happens when innovation starts moving faster than trust? What is required to bridge the gap? Who is working on solutions? What's working?

Send us Fan MailIn Part Two of this forward-looking conversation, Dr. Jean Kutner explores how a landmark $64 million NIH grant is poised to reshape the future of palliative care across the lifespan.Moving beyond theory, this episode dives into what success actually looks like—more diverse research collaboration, stronger mentorship pipelines, and measurable translation of evidence into real-world clinical practice. The discussion highlights a critical shift: building a system where research and care continuously inform one another to improve outcomes for patients with serious illness.Looking ahead, Dr. Kutner paints a compelling vision of a more seamless, equitable care continuum—one that begins earlier in the disease trajectory and extends across all stages of life. From addressing gaps between care settings to advancing innovative modalities and policy-relevant research, this conversation underscores the urgency of aligning evidence, reimbursement models, and care delivery. For healthcare leaders and hospice professionals, this episode offers both a strategic lens and a hopeful outlook on where the field is heading. ⸻Key TakeawaysThe future of palliative care depends on expanding research capacity across disciplines, including underrepresented fields like chaplaincy and social work. Stronger collaboration between researchers, clinicians, and policymakers is essential to translating evidence into practice and policy change. A major goal is creating a seamless care continuum—eliminating gaps between hospice, inpatient, and outpatient palliative care settings. Evidence-based care must drive reimbursement and policy models, including potential payment structures for pre-hospice care. The field is moving toward earlier, more personalized palliative care interventions across the full lifespan, supported by emerging research and innovation.

Alcohol is one of the most ubiquitous and celebrated substances on the planet. It is woven throughout our social lives and culture, often without acknowledgement of its impact on the brain or the impact of addiction. Our guest, Dr. Charles Knowles, is a surgeon and Chief Academic Officer at Cleveland Clinic, London. His new book, "Why We Drink Too Much: The Impact of alcohol on Our Bodies and Culture", is his first popular science work, driven by a deeply personal reason, his own battle with alcohol.
Junk mail seems like a relic of another era. Physical ads showing up in your mailbox feel easy to ignore in a world dominated by digital marketing. Yet companies still spend billions sending those mailers every year. Why? Because for certain groups of people, those pieces of mail are surprisingly effective — far more than you might expect. https://www.uspsoig.gov/sites/default/files/reports/2023-01/RISC-WP-20-009.pdf Artificial intelligence is suddenly everywhere — writing emails, answering questions, summarizing documents, and even helping people make decisions. But should we trust it? Linguist Emily Bender, a professor at the University of Washington and one of the world's leading voices urging caution about AI hype, argues that we may be misunderstanding what these systems actually do. Named to the inaugural TIME 100 list of the most influential people in AI, she explains why tools like ChatGPT can appear intelligent while operating very differently from human thinking. She is co-author of The AI Con: How to Fight Big Tech's Hype and Create the Future We Want (https://amzn.to/3P1v6tn) and she offers an important perspective on how we should — and shouldn't — rely on AI. Humans have been drinking alcohol for thousands of years, and despite the well-known risks, it remains deeply embedded in cultures around the world. Why do people drink in the first place? Is alcohol simply a dangerous toxin, or does it serve psychological or social purposes that help explain its enduring appeal? Dr. Charles Knowles, Professor of Surgery at Queen Mary University of London and Chief Academic Officer at Cleveland Clinic London, brings both scientific expertise and personal experience to the discussion. Having struggled with alcohol dependency himself, he explores what alcohol does inside the body and brain, why some people develop problems while others do not, and how our culture shapes the way we think about drinking. He is the author of Why We Drink Too Much: The Impact of Alcohol on Our Bodies and Culture (https://amzn.to/4b8HHCd). Razor blades are small, simple pieces of metal — yet they often cost far more than people expect. You may even notice they're locked behind glass at many stores.

This episode of EM Pulse dives into a critical intersection of clinical practice: the overlap between objective evidence-based medicine and the subjective influence of implicit bias. In a special collaboration with Don't Forget the Bubbles (DFTB), we are joined by experts from across the globe to discuss a landmark study on how clinical decision rules—specifically the PECARN (Pediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network) imaging rules—impact disparities in pediatric trauma imaging. The Variables of Bias We often think of medical decision-making as a clean equation, but how much do factors like a patient's perceived race or ethnicity “creep” into our choices? The team explores the concept of equitable care—providing the best possible outcome regardless of factors outside a patient's control—and why awareness alone often isn’t enough to counteract the biases we all carry. Standardizing Equity: The Power of the Rule The core of this discussion centers on a prospective multicenter study titled “Perceived Race and Ethnicity on CT Use in Children with Minor Head or Abdominal Trauma.” * The Question: Do racial and ethnic disparities in CT use still exist in the “PECARN era”? The Twist: Why the researchers chose to look at clinician-perceived race rather than self-identification to capture what is actually happening in the provider's mind during a shift. The Finding: The guests discuss the surprising (and encouraging) results regarding how structured clinical rules can act as “equity builders.” A Global Perspective Bias isn’t just a local issue. With representation from UC Davis, UCSF, Children's National, and Athens, Greece, the panel looks at the international landscape of pediatric emergency care. They discuss: The barriers to implementing decision tools in different healthcare systems. The concept of “pediatric readiness” on a global scale. How these rules—originally developed in the U.S.—are being validated and adapted from Australia to Europe. Moving Beyond the “Black Box” While AI and machine learning are the buzzwords of the day, this episode highlights the beauty of “simple” statistical tools that are transparent and easy to use at the bedside. The guests share how they envision these findings changing their next shift—not by removing the “humanity” of the process, but by anchoring conversations with families in solid evidence. Check the Show Notes: We've included links to the original study and the companion blog post at Don't Forget the Bubbles, which features a deep dive into the data. You can also find the PECARN Pediatric Head Injury and Intra-abdominal Injury (IAI) rules on MDCalc to use on your next shift. We want to hear from you!

In this episode of All For Literacy, host Kerri Larkin sits down with Dr. Marisa Ramirez Stukey, Chief Academic Officer of The Reading League, to explore what it really takes to turn literacy research into meaningful classroom practice. Together, they unpack why the science of reading—while essential—is not enough on its own, and how the science of learning and implementation science are critical to achieving lasting, equitable literacy outcomes. This conversation dives into the realities educators face every day, from competing initiatives to limited time and resources. Dr. Stukey challenges traditional ideas of fidelity, emphasizing integrity, context, and systems-level alignment. Listeners will come away with a clearer understanding of why real change requires not just adding new programs, but also removing barriers, de-implementing what no longer works, and supporting educators with coherent, connected professional learning. Why knowledge alone doesn't change practice What implementation science looks like in real classrooms Fidelity vs. integrity in literacy instruction Identifying and removing systemic barriers The importance of de-implementation for long-term change A must-listen for educators, school and district leaders, and anyone committed to evidence-based literacy transformation.

This episode of EM Pulse dives into one of the most stressful scenarios in the ED: the febrile infant in the first month of life. Traditionally, a fever in this age group has meant an automatic “full septic workup,” including the dreaded lumbar puncture (LP). But times are changing. We sit down with experts Dr. Nate Kuppermann and Dr. Brett Burstein to discuss a landmark JAMA study that suggests we might finally be able to safely skip the LP in many of our tiniest patients. The Study: A Game Changer for Neonates Our discussion centers on a massive international pooled study evaluating the PECARN Febrile Infant Rule specifically in infants aged 0–28 days. While previous guidelines were conservative due to a lack of data for this specific age bracket, this study provides the evidence we've been waiting for. The Cohort: A large pool of infants across multiple countries. The Findings: The PECARN rule demonstrated an exceptionally high negative predictive value for invasive bacterial infections. The Big Win: The rule missed zero cases of bacterial meningitis. Defining the Danger: SBI vs. IBI The experts break down why we are shifting our terminology and our clinical focus. Serious Bacterial Infection (SBI) Historically, this was a “catch-all” term including Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs), bacteremia, and meningitis. However, UTIs are generally more common, easily identified via urinalysis, and typically less life-threatening than the other two. Invasive Bacterial Infection (IBI) This term refers specifically to bacteremia and bacterial meningitis. These are the “high-stakes” infections the PECARN rule is designed to rule out. Dr. Kuppermann notes that we should ideally view bacteremia and meningitis as distinct entities, as the clinical implications of a missed meningitis case are far more severe. The HSV Elephant in the Room One of the primary reasons clinicians hesitate to skip an LP in a neonate is the fear of missing Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) infection. Low Baseline Risk: While the overall risk of HSV in a febrile infant is low, the risk of “isolated” HSV (meningitis without other signs or symptoms) is even rarer. Screening Tools: Most infants with HSV appear clinically ill. Clinicians can also use ALT (liver function) testing as a secondary screen – transaminase elevation is a common marker for systemic HSV. Clinical Judgment: If the baby is well-appearing, has no maternal history of HSV, no vesicles, and no seizures, the risk of missing HSV by skipping the LP is exceptionally low. Practical Application: Shared Decision-Making This isn’t just about the numbers—it’s about the parents. “Families don’t mind their babies being admitted… They do not want the lumbar puncture. It is the single most anxiety-provoking aspect of care.” — Dr. Brett Burstein The PECARN “Low-Risk” Criteria: (Remember, this rule applies only to infants who are not ill-appearing.) Urinalysis: Negative Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC): ≤ 4,000/mm³ Procalcitonin (PCT): ≤ 0.5 ng/mL The Bottom Line: If an infant is well-appearing and meets these criteria, physicians can have a nuanced conversation with parents about the risks and benefits of forgoing the LP, while still admitting the child for observation (often without empiric antibiotics) while cultures brew. Key Takeaways The “Well-Appearing” Filter: If an infant looks ill, the rule does not apply. These patients require a full workup, including an LP, regardless of lab results. Meticulous Physical Exam: Assess for a strong suck, normal muscle tone, brisk capillary refill, and any rashes or vesicles. History is Key: Always ask about maternal GBS/HSV status, pregnancy or birth complications, prematurity, sick contacts, and any changes in feeding, stooling or activity. Procalcitonin: PCT is the superior inflammatory marker for this rule. If your facility only offers traditional markers like CRP, the PECARN negative predictive value cannot be strictly applied. In the words of Dr. Kuppermann: “If you don’t have it, for God’s sakes, just get it! ALT to Screen for HSV: While not part of the official PECARN rule, our experts suggest that significantly elevated liver enzymes should raise suspicion for systemic HSV. Observe, Don’t Discharge: Being “low risk” does not mean the infant goes home. All infants ≤ 28 days still require admission for 24-hour observation and blood/urine cultures.

Workforce readiness, hands-on learning, and flexible credentialing are no longer peripheral conversations in higher education. They are central to how institutions are being judged on value, relevance, and outcomes. In this episode of Changing Higher Ed podcast, Dr. Drumm McNaughton speaks with Jarred McNeely, Provost and Chief Academic Officer at Sonoran Desert Institute, about how applied, skills-based education can be delivered beyond traditional campuses without sacrificing rigor or quality. McNeely shares how SDI redesigned hands-on instruction for distributed learners by moving labs into students' homes, rethinking assessment around demonstrated competence, and investing heavily in faculty training and support. The conversation explores what these approaches mean not just for trade and technical programs, but for institutions across higher education facing increasing pressure around cost, completion, and workforce alignment. This episode is especially relevant for presidents, provosts, and academic leaders evaluating how applied learning, credential flexibility, and faculty systems can evolve to meet today's student realities. Topics Covered Why hands-on learning does not require centralized labs How lab kits, video-based assessment, and staged progression support skill development What it takes to train and support faculty in distributed, applied programs How simulation and practicum models expand access without lowering standards Why stackable credentials better align with real career movement The role of critical thinking and problem identification in applied education Three Key Takeaways for Presidents and Boards Learning should be assessed by demonstrated competence, not physical presence Faculty training and support systems are the primary drivers of instructional quality Flexible, stackable credentials reduce student risk while supporting long-term engagement Read the transcript or extended show summary: https://changinghighered.com/reduce-student-debt-risk-improve-employability/ #HigherEducation #WorkforceDevelopment #AppliedLearning #HigherEdLeadership #ChangingHigherEd

Some of us may have overindulged during the holidays, and some of us may be trying a Dry January — or at least rethinking our relationship with booze. This is the time of year when we might notice how much alcohol has woven itself into our social lives, our stress management, our celebrations. Charles Knowles is a Professor of Surgery at Queen Mary University of London and Chief Academic Officer at the Cleveland Clinic London, and his new book is called Why We Drink Too Much: The Impact of Alcohol on Our Bodies and Culture. He joins us today to explain why problematic drinking isn't defined by how much we consume, and what we really need to know if we want to change our relationship with alcohol. And then in the second half of the show, we'll hear from philosophy professor Edward Slingerland, who will share ideas from his 2021 book Drunk: How We Sipped, Danced, and Stumbled Our Way to Civilization.

In my new interview with Melissa Loble, Chief Academic Officer at Instructure, we discussed the evolving educational landscape. She made a few key predictions for the future of education in an AI-driven world: 1. The Blended Curriculum: Academic Content Merges with Human and Career Skills The traditional focus on purely academic content will radically shift. The future curriculum will be a blend that incorporates three critical components: Academic Content: The core disciplinary knowledge. Human Skills (Soft Skills): Due to AI handling entry-level technical tasks, there will be an increased emphasis on human skills like critical thinking, decision-making, problem-solving, confidence, and courage. Educators will need to explicitly teach and build these skills, moving beyond simply teaching the application of theories. Workforce/Life Skills: Education will be directly connected to career and life trajectories, driven by learners (especially younger generations) seeking a clear return on investment (ROI) from their education and questioning the value of high debt. 2. Contextual and Experiential Learning Replaces Rote Memorization The age of simple memorization and regurgitation will end. The new focus will be on creating contextual, personalized, and experiential learning environments. Focus on Context: Educators must shift from solely valuing content (like in research/peer-review) to emphasizing context—the "why" and "how" the content is applied in the real world. Simulation and Application: There will be a greater use of simulations, case-based learning, and hands-on scenarios to help learners practice and apply human skills and technical knowledge, allowing them to fail fast and build competence. AI can assist in creating these complex, customized case studies and learning environments. Practitioner-Academic Collaboration: Higher education will increasingly benefit from practitioners joining the faculty to bring real-world context, working alongside traditional academics to enrich the learning experience. 3. Corporate and Higher Education Learning Forge a Strategic Partnership The line between corporate learning and higher education will blur as both seek to adapt to the needs of the modern workforce. Corporate Learning Shifts: Corporate training will move away from being purely compliance-driven toward a focus on developing human and career-track skills. Employees, particularly Millennials and Gen Z, actively seek employers who commit to developing them as future leaders. Continuous Development: The "one-and-done" training model will be replaced by a commitment to lifelong learning and continuous development. This will include meeting people where they are and using retrieval practice and open coaching to reinforce skills and build resistance to change. Joint Reinvention: Higher education and the corporate world have a significant opportunity to partner and reinvent themselves together to effectively address the blend of technical and human skill development needed for an AI-enabled future.

On this episode of Anchored, Jeremy is joined by Sarah Novlan, Chief Academic Officer at Hill Country Christian School. They announce CLT Enduring Courses as a new alternative to AP curriculum, launching in the 2026–27 academic year. The two examine how the AP classes often contradict a classical curriculum in both rigor and content. They also explore why classical schools are eager for changes in the college prep–course landscape, and the telos that sets CLT apart.
What happens when a febrile infant presents at 61 days old? Are they suddenly low risk for invasive bacterial infections? In this episode, we explore the gray zone of managing febrile infants aged 61–90 days with the help of two new clinical prediction rules from PECARN. Joining us are two powerhouses in pediatric emergency medicine: Dr. Nate Kuppermann and Dr. Paul Aronson, who walk us through their recent study published in Pediatrics. We discuss why prior research has traditionally stopped at 60 days, what the new data shows about risk in this slightly older age group, and how these rules might help guide clinical decision-making. This study fills a long-standing gap—but should we start using the rules now? Tune in for a nuanced discussion on sensitivity, missed cases, practical application, and the future of risk stratification in young infants with fever. What is your practice in terms of work-up of 2-3 month old febrile infants? Will this change what you do?
