From horse tranquilizer to mental health treatment — what's the real story about ketamine? Nick Pell breaks it down on Skeptical Sunday!Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and a guest break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions. This time around, we're joined by writer and researcher Nick Pell!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1241On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:Ketamine therapy shows promise for treatment-resistant depression, PTSD, and chronic pain, but it's serious medicine requiring proper medical supervision, not a recreational escape or wellness trend.Clinical ketamine treatment involves IV administration with precise dosing, vital monitoring, and trained medical attendants — drastically different from recreational use that can cause severe bladder damage and other complications.The rise of telehealth ketamine clinics and mail-order treatments represents a concerning trend — proper vetting requires full psych evaluations, bloodwork, and screening by legitimate medical professionals, not vague promises.Recreational ketamine use carries significant addiction potential and health risks, particularly bladder damage from chronic high doses — clinical settings minimize these dangers through controlled administration.If you're considering ketamine therapy, start with a therapist and real medical doctor. Look for evidence-based treatment with proper intake procedures, not spa-like "optimization centers" making grandiose claims.Connect with Jordan on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.

En este episodio, exploramos un fenómeno cada vez más inquietante en las consultas y unidades de neurología: el aumento del ictus en adultos jóvenes. A partir de la evidencia más reciente, analizamos cómo los factores de riesgo clásicos están dando paso a nuevos protagonistas del siglo XXI, entre ellos el estrés crónico. Revisamos el papel del ictus criptogénico, las causas vasculares menos conocidas y los mecanismos por los cuales la sobrecarga emocional, laboral o social puede alterar la fisiología cerebrovascular hasta precipitar un evento agudo. También abordamos la diferencia de impacto entre hombres y mujeres, los hallazgos de estudios internacionales como INTERSTROKE y ERICH, y cómo la gestión del estrés debería considerarse una estrategia real de prevención neurológica. Un episodio para reflexionar sobre la relación entre mente, sociedad y cerebro en una generación que vive —y enferma— bajo presión. Referencias del episodio: 1. Behymer, T. P., Sekar, P., Demel, S.

This week on A Week In Her Wallet, we head to Atlanta to follow Kristen, a 40-something clinical researcher who earns about $150K a year and travels nearly full-time for work. She walks us through a week of thoughtful spending, including a $1,300 mortgage payment, $500 toward her HELOC, a $150 yard sale win (promptly spent on music festival tickets), and the small joys that keep her grounded when she's on the road so much.

In the past 20 years, the rate of children and teenagers living with high blood pressure globally has nearly doubled because of a toxic combination of unhealthy diets, mass inactivity and soaring levels of obesity. That's according to a new meta analysis of data from 96 studies published in The Lancet Child and Adolescent Health journal. Joining Shane now to discuss this further is the Clinical lead on Obesity for the HSE, Dr Donal O'Shea.

In this episode, ARK's Cathie Wood and Brett Winton sit down with Sean McClain, Founder and CEO of AbSci, to explore how generative AI is reshaping drug discovery, development timelines, and clinical costs. Sean walks through real-world examples of AI-designed antibodies—such as AbSci's breakthrough HIV antibody and a regenerative treatment for hair loss—and explains how these platforms are helping unlock previously “undruggable” biology.They discuss AbSci's Phase 2-ready hair growth antibody (BS201), the company's partnerships with Caltech and AMD, and why the FDA's evolving embrace of AI could accelerate the end of animal testing. The conversation closes with a forward-looking discussion on the role of regenerative medicine in longevity—and why AI drug discovery might just pull biotech out of its multi-year bear market.Key Points From This Episode:(00:00:00) How AbSci uses generative AI to design antibodies from scratch(00:02:42) HIV, ion channels, and the promise of targeting "undruggable" biology(00:06:28) AbSci's BS201 drug for hair regrowth: mechanism, speed, and cost advantages(00:13:20) Clinical timeline: From concept to Phase 2 readout in 3.5 years(00:15:34) Bringing costs down: $100–150M vs. the industry average of $2.4B(00:17:36) Why AI enables “keys designed for specific locks” in drug targeting(00:22:58) What AbSci's models are trained on—and how prompts work in drug inference(00:25:32) The future of clinical testing: AI replacing animal models(00:36:43) Sarcopenia, strength loss, and regenerative approaches to aging(00:48:10) BS201 as a long-acting pulse therapy—and how it compares to transplants

Carbon neutrality goals are everywhere in biopharma. But how do you actually measure and reduce your true environmental impact when data gaps and baseline differences make comparisons so tough?In this episode, David Brühlmann talks with Niklas Jungnelius, Cytiva's expert in process modeling and sustainability, who's spent years uncovering what really drives emissions and how small process tweaks can deliver big results.Niklas goes beyond the numbers, challenging assumptions and showing how sustainability becomes a strategic, data-driven advantage. From real-world cases at Cytiva, he explains why recycling plastics may not move the needle and why the real gains often lie in hotspots like cleanroom energy use and raw material choices.Here's why this episode will make you rethink your next facility upgrade:Understanding life cycle assessment and the key damage categories in environmental sustainability, including carbon emissions, water usage, and resource depletion. (00:00)The challenge of defining carbon emissions baselines and why it's harder, and often more expensive, to achieve deep reductions if your operations already use clean energy sources. (03:06)Why the focus on recycling single-use plastics may not be the most effective route for lowering emissions, and what truly drives carbon footprint in bioprocessing. (05:54)The impact of production scale, consumables, and obscure chemicals on the overall environmental impact and how these surprises can shift sustainability strategies. (06:20)Practical advice for scientists and engineers: How to start monitoring and modeling environmental impact in process development and manufacturing. (08:00)The importance of involving manufacturing perspectives early in process development, and choosing the right level of detail and ambition for process modeling. (08:18)There's no one-size-fits-all in manufacturing technology—whether fed-batch, continuous, or hybrid and decisions must fit each organization's needs, resources, and ambitions. (10:13)Industry trends that could transform the field, from intensified fed-batch production to future technologies like cell-free expression systems. (11:22)Where to connect with Niklas for further questions or collaboration.

Every few years, conversations about education in the U.S. circle back to the same refrain: Why can't we be more like Finland?In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Chrishawn Finister from Your Joy Psychological, PLLC to unpack this comparison.We dig into the nuanced relationship between educational eligibility and clinical diagnosis, which often overlap but aren't interchangeable. From there, we widen the lens to explore the broader systems-level challenges that shape how students are identified, supported, and served.Some key themes we discuss:✅ Orthographic density and literacy: Why differences in written language systems matter when comparing reading outcomes across countries.✅ Population homogeneity and “education tracks”: When we look at instructional outcomes data, the students included in the education system and the numbers matter. Are the same individuals “counting” when we compare results across countries? ✅ Teacher pay and professional identity: What Finland's investment in teacher preparation and salary looks like compared to the U.S. (spoiler alert: Dr. Finister and I both think the US should be more like Finland on this one). ✅ Cultural perceptions of medicine vs. education: Why recommendations from evaluations are perceived differently depending on the setting and who is making decisions about services.✅ Housing instability and socioeconomic factors: We're educating students with complex needs in the US who have varying experiences outside of school. With this in mind, has the education system made more progress than what the media is saying? Rather than looking for a one-size-fits-all solution, we highlight why U.S. educators, policymakers, and clinicians need to understand the challenges and opportunities when designing systems of support.If you've ever wondered where the lines between clinical diagnosis and educational eligibility blur, this conversation will give you a grounded perspective.Dr. Chrishawn Finister is an Independent Practicing Licensed Psychological Associate and a Licensed Specialist in School Psychology, possessing over a decade of experience in the role of School Psychologist. Recognized as a Nationally Certified School Psychologist, she is committed to utilizing diagnostically sound assessments to identify learning barriers and implementing research-based interventions to amend challenging behaviors effectively. Dr. Finister is an advocate of culturally competent practices and is dedicated to training future practitioners in the field. She received her foundational training in psychological pedagogy and assessments at Texas Woman's University, where she completed her Master's degree in 2010. While working in a prominent North Texas public school district, she advanced her education by earning a Doctoral degree in Educational Leadership and Policy from the University of Texas at Arlington in 2019. Her contributions to the field extend to academia, where she has served as a guest lecturer at the College of Education at Texas Christian University.Places to connect with Dr. Finister:Her private practice, Your Joy Psychological, PLLCWebsite: https://yourjoypsych.com/Business Instagram: @yourjoypsychHer NonProfit, Texas Psychological Hive: https://thetexaspsychhive.org/Non-profit Instagram: @texaxpsychhiveAdditional Resources Mentioned in this episode:Steven Pinker: https://stevenpinker.com/Mark Manson: https://markmanson.net/Dr. Tim Shanahan: https://www.shanahanonliteracy.com/In this episode, I mention Language Therapy Advance Foundations, my program that gives SLPs and other service providers a system for language therapy.

In this episode, I explore the critical role of cellular hydration as the foundational first step in the seven naturopathic steps to treatment to optimise health. Join me as I talk about why proper hydration goes far beyond just drinking water, how chronic dehydration impacts inflammation, hormone balance, and fertility at the cellular level, and the three progressive stages to restoring optimal hydration in your body. I'll unpack the science behind cellular hydration, explain why your cholesterol might actually be a dehydration response, and provide insights and actionable tips to help you build the foundation your body needs to reduce inflammation, support hormone balance, and optimise your fertility journey. A number of actionable tips were discussed including how to recognise signs of chronic dehydration, which foods and drinks are secretly dehydrating you, the proper omega-3 to omega-6 ratio for reducing inflammation, how to implement the three-stage hydration protocol, and why you should consider taking a break from supplements while you establish proper hydration.

Clinical psychologist Dr. Genesee Herzberg joins Kyle to reflect on two decades in trauma work and 15 years inside the psychedelic ecosystem—from early MAPS conferences to running Sage Integrative Health. She traces how personal psychedelic experiences set her on a path of service, research at CIIS on MDMA-assisted therapy, and hands-on roles with MAPS: Zendo Project harm reduction, adherence rating, and ultimately serving as an MDMA therapist in clinical trials. Today she leads Sage, an integrative clinic (psychotherapy, psychiatry, bodywork, acupuncture, and functional nutrition) focused on ketamine-assisted therapy while preparing for MDMA's eventual approval. She also co-founded a sliding-scale KAP nonprofit (now Alchemy Community Therapy Center), co-edited Integral Psychedelic Therapy, and is helping to launch the International Alliance of MDMA Practitioners. In this episode From counterculture to mainstream: What's been gained—and lost—as psychedelics scaled. Accessibility vs. corporatization: Why cutting corners (prep/integration, therapeutic time) undermines outcomes and safety. "Myth of the magic pill": Psychedelics can catalyze change, but healing is an ongoing process anchored by integration. What good care looks like: Preparation → medicine sessions → robust integration, individualized cadence, and adding bodywork and functional medicine to address gut-brain links, mineral status, sleep, and somatic tension. Ketamine realities: Differences between psycholytic (talk-forward) and psychedelic (eyes-closed, inner-directed) dosing; why some need multiple sessions to build relationship with the medicine; risks of mail-order models (high dosing, poor screening/support), daily prescribing, addiction potential, cystitis, and safety concerns. Sitting, not guiding: The therapist's task is to follow the client's process; intervene sparingly and with consent—especially in trauma work where attuned co-regulation is essential. Multiple access pathways: Support for regulated clinical care and community, peer, and ceremonial models—paired with education and harm reduction (Zendo's SIT peer training and new crisis-responder training). The MDMA pause: Initial devastation at the FDA decision gave way to seeing benefits: time to strengthen ethics, accountability, training standards, and to temper hype-driven investment. Pace and ethics: Lessons from burnout; moving at the speed of trust; exploring "psychedelic business models" (stakeholder focus, distributed decision-making, employee ownership, public benefit structures). Resources & organizations mentioned Sage Integrative Health Alchemy Community Therapy Center (sliding-scale KAP) International Alliance of MDMA Practitioners Integral Psychedelic Therapy (edited by Genesee Herzberg, Jason Butler, Richard Miller) Takeaway: Thoughtful preparation, right-sized dosing, and committed integration—held within ethical, community-minded systems—turn powerful experiences into durable change.
Hosts Zach and Kevin put the sports talk (mostly) aside to dive deep into a critical area of everyday dentistry: various scenarios involving soft and hard tissue grafting and the management of periodontal recession. They discuss how to handle common cases like recession in post-ortho teens (especially on the lower anterior teeth) and the different approaches for the challenging chewing tobacco patient. Zach and Kevin share their experience with generalized recession, debating when to refer for a graft—often noting that patient concern over esthetics or sensitivity drives the decision more than the presence of the recession itself. The conversation covers treatment techniques like free gingival grafts and the status of fads like the LANAP procedure and pinhole technique. They also explore other periodontal topics, including the management of gingival overgrowth (gummy smiles), peri-implantitis complications, and their skepticism regarding the widespread use of local antimicrobial delivery systems (like Arrestin) for routine scaling and root planing cases. Tune in for a candid discussion on what's working (and what's not) in the everyday management of periodontal health in a general practice. Join the Very Clinical Facebook group!

This episode (#306) addresses a common but painful question from betrayed partners: “Is my spouse a narcissist, or just showing narcissistic tendencies?” Mark and Steve explain that while the term “narcissist” has become a cultural buzzword, true narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is rare and defined by a complete absence of empathy. In contrast, addicts in denial often appear narcissistic because they're reacting defensively from fear and shame. Their hurtful behaviors—blame-shifting, gaslighting, and emotional withdrawal—mimic narcissism but stem from self-protection, not superiority.The hosts emphasize that what matters most isn't the label but the destination. Whether the issue is narcissism, addiction, or emotional immaturity, the key question is: Where is this relationship heading if nothing changes? The described situation clearly reflects an abuse cycle—one fueled by denial, volatility, and manipulation. For the addict, breaking that cycle means pausing reactivity, taking full ownership, and seeking specialized recovery help rather than generic therapy. True healing begins only when defensiveness gives way to empathy and accountability.For the betrayed partner, safety and support come first. Isolation only deepens the trauma, so finding community through trusted friends, family, or support groups like S-Anon and SALifeline is essential. She must set firm boundaries and remember that protecting her partner from consequences is not the same as loving him. The episode closes with practical resources—including books like The Gaslighting Recovery Workbook and Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents—and a hopeful reminder that even deeply wounded couples can rebuild when they both commit to truth, humility, and genuine change.For a full transcript of this podcast in article format, go to: Is My Partner a "Narcissist" of does he just have Narcissistic Tendencies?Learn more about Mark and Steve's revolutionary online porn/sexual addiction recovery and betrayal trauma healing program at—daretoconnectnow.comFind out more about Steve Moore at: Ascension CounselingLearn more about Mark Kastleman at: Reclaim Counseling Services
Your Manufacturing Decisions Are Costing You More Than You ThinkEvery bioreactor decision. Every scale-up choice. Every facility investment. They're all silently writing checks your process might not be able to cash.The difference between a profitable biologics program and one that bleeds capital? Process economic modeling, the analytical framework that reveals exactly where your money goes and why.In this episode of the Smart Biotech Scientist Podcast, David Brühlmann talks with Niklas Jungnelius, Process Modeling Leader at Cytiva, who has spent 25+ years decoding the economics of biologics manufacturing for biotech companies navigating billion-dollar decisions.Niklas reveals the hidden cost drivers most teams miss, the surprising economics behind fed-batch vs. continuous processing, and why your facility choice at intermediate scale could make or break your business case.Episode Highlights:What process economic modeling is and how it differs from mechanistic modeling (06:40)Main cost drivers in biologics and biosimilars manufacturing, and their direct and indirect impacts on patient pricing (09:21)The role of manufacturing scale and productivity in driving down costs, and how facility type (stainless steel vs single-use) affects labor, flexibility, and investment (11:51)Trade-offs between single-use and stainless steel facilities at intermediate production scales (15:07)Key differences in cost and efficiency between fed-batch and fully continuous manufacturing, including productivity limitations and capital/expenditure implications (16:20)The impact of resin lifetime and under-utilization on clinical manufacturing costs (19:51)Hidden or less quantifiable costs such as facility flexibility, excess capacity, safety margins, and the importance of realistic assumptions in economic modeling (20:20)This is a grounded discussion with practical takeaways for biotech scientists seeking clarity in the complex terrain of process economics. Part two of this conversation will focus on sustainability modeling and the latest technologies reshaping bioprocessing economics.Ready to see how process modeling could transform your approach and protect your bottom line?

Welcome to another episode of the Sustainable Clinical Medicine Podcast! In this episode, Dr. Sarah Smith sits down with Dr. Cheryl Chase, a clinical psychologist and expert in attention and learning disorders, to explore the unique challenges clinicians face in making their workday more sustainable. Dr. Chase shares her journey from working with children to advising physicians and other adults, highlighting practical strategies for maintaining executive function, managing overwhelming administrative tasks like charting, and coping with burnout and decision fatigue. The conversation dives deep into how both neurodiverse and neurotypical clinicians can adopt simple, habit-based solutions to tackle the ever-growing workload, find ways to set boundaries, and build systems that truly support wellbeing—inside and outside the clinic. Whether it's accepting that perfection is unattainable, learning to disappoint others when necessary, or using visual tools and external reminders to stay organized, Dr. Chase brings relatable wisdom and actionable advice to help listeners preserve their energy and get home with their work done. If you've ever wondered how to start tackling that painful chart backlog, keep your executive function sharp throughout the day, or simply give yourself more grace at work, you're in the right place. Get ready for a thoughtful, empowering discussion packed with ideas you can put into practice today. Here are 3 key takeaways from this episode: Habits Beat Willpower: Whether it's charting, managing emails, or tackling that overwhelming to-do pile, consistent habits and small rewards can make all the difference. Set up simple, repeatable systems to take the edge off tasks you hate—pair a reward with every chart completed, or celebrate reaching micro-goals. Radical Acceptance & Boundaries: It's okay (and necessary) to get comfortable disappointing others. You can't (and shouldn't) say yes to everything—prioritize your energy for the things and people that matter most. Set clear boundaries for email, patient messages, and team interruptions. Support Your Executive Function: Fatigue and burnout are real. Proactively support your brainpower with quality sleep, mindful breaks, minimal task switching, and templates to reduce decision fatigue. Even short, timed bursts of focused work can move you forward! Meet Dr. Cheryl Chase: Dr. Cheryl Chase is a licensed clinical psychologist based in Independence, Ohio (a suburb of Cleveland), specializing in ADHD, learning disorders, and emotional challenges across the lifespan. Through PSYPACT, she is able to serve clients in over 42 states in the US. She's also an international speaker and consultant, known for making complex topics like executive function and dyslexia both relatable and actionable. Whether she's working with families, schools, or businesses, Dr. Chase blends science with real-world strategies—and a dose of humor. -------------- Would you like to view a transcript of this episode?

St. Luke's Health System, based in Boise, Idaho, has approached this mission by embedding clinical pharmacists in the specialty pharmacy space and using 340B as a critical tool. We speak with Josh Weber, senior director of ambulatory retail and specialty pharmacy services at St. Luke's, to learn more.How Clinical Pharmacists Can Be a “Value Multiplier”Embedding clinical pharmacists in their specialty pharmacies improves operations in myriad ways. These pharmacists can take the burden off other providers by meeting with patients to go over their drug regimens, coordinating care, and running split-fill programs to reduce waste. At St. Luke's, the approach has improved patient adherence to medications and reduced the time between the specialty prescription and the patient having the medication in hand to less than 48 hours – far quicker than the industry standard.340B Savings Are Key to the InvestmentWeber says cost savings from 340B are critical in calculating how they embed resources into specialty pharmacy, noting that improving adherence and retention can increase 340B savings exponentially. These savings then can enable health systems such as St. Luke's to reinvest in their internal specialty pharmacies, provide more patient cost assistance and unreimbursed care, and ultimately shield themselves from headwinds such as drugmaker contract pharmacy restrictions.Embedding Pharmacists Depends on Hospital-Specific FactorsFor hospitals considering following the lead of St. Luke's Health System, Weber said a variety of factors such as patient volume, payer mix, and drug spend can call for a variety of service models and investment strategies. Harnessing data such as heat maps showing where patients are and which clinics they visit can inform how best to embed pharmacists and ultimately improve specialty pharmacy care for patients.Resources:Drugmakers Release 340B Rebate Pilot Program DescriptionsHRSA 340B Rebate Model Pilot ProgramBeacon Rebate Model Resources

This episode dives into the complex and often misunderstood MedTech market in China, featuring Elaine Tan, creator of MedTech Chopsticks, who translates the nation's stringent regulatory language into actionable insights. Elaine and host Etienne Nichols discuss the substantial risks and rewards of bringing a medical device to China, highlighting the country's rapid execution, intense internal competition, and the shift from low-end manufacturing to a focus on high-level innovation. A key risk is that existing international certifications (like ISO and IEC) do not guarantee compliance, requiring local type testing and adherence to specific national standards.The conversation addresses how global medical device companies can structure their strategy amid ongoing geopolitical shifts and the "China for China" policy, which favors domestic products through initiatives like the Volume-Based Procurement (VBP). Strategies such as the dual-strategy approach—localizing low-consumable manufacturing while protecting high-technology IP through joint ventures or careful CMO/CDMO selection—are explored as pragmatic ways to secure market presence and margin. Understanding the regulatory landscape, particularly the NMPA's 2021 overhaul, is crucial for success.Finally, Elaine provides practical guidance for regulatory professionals intimidated by the market. This includes understanding the specific regulatory and clinical pathways, performing a gap analysis against Chinese standards (Product Technical Requirements or PTR), and the critical process of selecting and qualifying a local partner/agent. Elaine reveals a specific, often overlooked hurdle: the agent must possess an NMPA-approved CA (Certification Authorization) USB key to electronically submit registration files on behalf of the foreign manufacturer, a critical piece of the submission puzzle. The discussion also touches on leveraging special zones, like the Hainan Free Trade Zone, for crucial real-world data collection applicable to the Chinese population.Key Timestamps[02:40] Introduction to Elaine Tan, MedTech Chopsticks, and the show's focus on the China market.[05:05] High-level risks and rewards: complexity, lengthy registration, local testing requirements, and IP concerns.[08:08] Discussing the NMPA's 2021 regulatory overhaul and the geopolitical shift toward "China for China."[11:00] The Dual Strategy approach: balancing low-end localization with protecting high-tech IP.[14:48] Using CDMOs/CMOs for pilot projects to manage financial investment risk.[16:20] Leveraging the Hainan Free Trade Zone (Bo'ao region) for pre-market clinical data collection and urgent needs product access.[18:42] Ethological differences and their impact on clinical data justification (e.g., Pulse Oximeters).[20:17] NMPA predicate search: The importance of using the Chinese Classification Catalog to find registered, local predicate devices.[23:00] Guidance for overwhelmed regulatory professionals entering the China market: Clinical strategy and Product Technical Requirements (PTR).[25:52] Pitfalls in partner selection: The necessity of the NMPA-approved CA (Certification Authorization) USB key for submissions.[29:30] Partner qualification: Ensuring the agent can support Post-Market Surveillance (PMS) and QMS self-inspection requirements.[30:52] Final pitfall: International compliance (ISO/IEC) does not automatically ensure China...
Sunday, November 9, 2025. Week 46. End of year campaign: UNLOCK THEIR TOMORROW, curesyngap1.org/unlock Why now? UNLOCK It's giving season. Count our blessings and share what we have. CS1 has moved mountains this year: Staff, ProMMiS, etc. But we are just starting… Every single family should give and should solicit their friends. Yes, it's a tough time. Yes, people have other causes. No (most of) your friends don't have a SynGAPian. Miss 100% of the shots you don't take. And remember, donors learn about what they give to, so even small donations cause huge changes in awareness. Go to our Champions page: https://curesyngap1.org/champions-of-hope/ Tony, Myla, Hattie, Jansen, Kai, Sophia, Kaylie, Gracie are at $50k+. Eight families. It's only five at $100k+. I think we can do better. I also think we should have more participation at every level, we can't lean on a handful of families to carry this organization. These families get something key: CURE SYNGAP1 is in it for the long run, unlike EVERYONE ELSE you are supporting. Great that you are doing schools, horses, girl scouts, etc, but the only people asking you for money right now that are going to be fighting for your kid in 5, 10, or 50 years, is CURE SYNGAP1. The only group who won't kick your family/loved one out of our community when your SynGAPian bites one of our staff or elopes from a meeting across streets. Also us. The people who understand SYNGAP1 the best. Right here. Technicals, we could not make this easier! Take 5 minutes to build your own fundraiser or simply email friends/family/co-workers/church associates/other kids' sports team parents/etc. It's uncomfortable but essential. It's so darn easy to give -
