How This Is Building Me, hosted by world-renowned oncologist D. Ross Camidge, MD, PhD, is a podcast focused on the highs and lows, ups and downs of all those involved with cancer, cancer medicine, and cancer science across the full spectrum of life's experiences.In this episode, guest host Erin Schenk, MD, PhD, at the University of Colorado Anschutz in Aurora, an associate professor of medicine in the Division of Medical Oncology, sat down with D. Ross Camidge, MD, PhD, to highlight Dr Camidge's storied career and life. Driven by a relentless curiosity that often manifested in him "interrogating" those around him, Camidge chose a career in medicine because of the immediate effect he saw it could have on people's lives.His path included a formative gap year working at McDonald's and serving as a caregiver for a man with cerebral palsy. After studying at Oxford, he faced a significant professional and personal low when pursuing his PhD at Cambridge. Struggling with a difficult project, he persevered by pivoting his research and finding resilience through peers, eventually returning to practicing clinical medicine and finding his calling in oncology due to its unique overlap of molecular biology and opportunities for deep patient connection.Seeking further opportunities, Dr Camidge moved to the United States to lead the lung cancer program at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. He became a pivotal figure in the development of targeted therapies, specifically crizotinib for ALK-positive lung cancer. Beyond drug development, he championed the use of molecular profiling and established a global remote second opinion program.In 2022, Dr Camidge's perspective shifted profoundly following his own lung cancer diagnosis. This experience forced him to evolve from a "questioning machine" into someone more amenable to accepting love and support. He now integrates this dual perspective into his work, emphasizing that oncology must go beyond science to address the human experience of treating real people.

Heart murmurs are one of the most common findings in pediatric practice, but determining which ones warrant further evaluation can be challenging. While many murmurs are innocent, others may signal underlying structural heart disease and require timely referral and management.  In this episode, we discuss how pediatricians can approach the evaluation of heart murmurs, including key features of the child's history and physical exam that help distinguish benign murmurs from those that may be pathologic. We also explore how factors can influence what you hear through your stethoscope.  Joining us is Christopher Rausch, MD, pediatric cardiologist and Director of the Cardiac Developmental Outcomes Program at Children's Hospital Colorado. He is also a professor at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. Dr. Rausch shares practical insights to help pediatricians feel more confident in evaluating murmurs, identifying red flags, and knowing when referral is appropriate.  Some highlights from this episode include: How to differentiate the sound of a murmur  The biggest differences between a murmur during the first few days of life and as a teenager  How common it is for children to experience a murmur during their developmental years  Counseling families and deciphering fact versus fear  For more information on Children's Colorado, visit: childrenscolorado.org. 

Diana DeGette has been representing Denver in congress since 1997, winning reelection 14 times in nearly 30 years on the job. The 1st Congressional District is comfortably blue, but two challengers have lit a fire in this race that is getting a lot of attention. Today, host Bree Davies sits down with Wanda James – a CU Regent, former navy officer, and the country's first Black dispensary owner – to learn more about what James sees for Colorado's future if she's elected. Please check out our conversation with challenger Melat Kiros earlier in the week and note that we did invite Representative DeGette for an interview but she was not available.  James discussed images from the “Tea on THC” campaign that the Colorado School of Public Health published in December 2024.

Ebola has a way of cutting through the noise of the news cycle. Its name alone can shift conversations in exam rooms and on living room couches. But what's circulating in headlines is not always what's circulating in reality. For pediatricians, that gap matters. In this episode, we break down what's actually happening right now with Ebola, what is known about current risk and how clinicians can respond when families arrive with urgent questions shaped more by media than by medicine.  To guide us through the science, we are joined by Sam Dominguez, MD, PhD. He is the Medical Director of the Clinical Microbiology Laboratory, as well as the Associate Medical Director of Infection Control and Prevention at Children's Hospital Colorado. He is a professor at the University of Colorado School of Medicine.  Some highlights from this episode include: The current status of Ebola in Africa  How difficult it is to contract Ebola The role of the pediatrician in screening patients who are traveling from other countries  How pediatricians can ease minds while also promoting the facts For more information on Children's Colorado, visit: childrenscolorado.org. 

There's a moment in a pediatrician's day that doesn't show up on the schedule. It's the bruise that doesn't quite match the story, or the awkward pause after a parent answers a question just a little too quickly or the child who won't make eye contact or let go of your sleeve. In these moments, pediatricians become more than clinicians. They become interpreters, advocates and sometimes the only line of protection. To help us understand the latest on child abuse, we are joined by Denise Abdoo, PhD, CPNP. Dr. Abdoo is a pediatric nurse practitioner who specializes in child abuse and neglect. She is also an associate professor at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. Some highlights from this episode include: What's changed in treating child abuse over the last decade  The impact of social media on child abuse  The most easily missed signs in a pediatric visit  Recent changes in laws, reporting and expectations  For more information on Children's Colorado, visit: childrenscolorado.org. 

What if you could build, scale, and sell a business for life-changing money - and then help other founders do the same? Join Nick Lamagna on The A Game Podcast: Real Estate Investing For Entrepreneurs for one of the most entertaining and educational conversations we've had in a long time - Shamus McNutt, engineer turned entrepreneur, exit strategist, and founder of Volare AI, an advisory firm helping business owners scale smarter, grow profits, and exit for maximum value. This isn't just another founder story - it's a masterclass on what it really takes to build something from $800 and sell it for 10 figures, and what most entrepreneurs get completely wrong when it's time to walk away from the table.

Shamus went from mechanical engineering grad at the Colorado School of Mines to co-founding Belong Designs and FlowState Branding, scaling to $5M in annual revenue fully bootstrapped, nearly losing it all, pivoting through COVID to their first 7-figure month, and ultimately selling for a life-changing exit. Now he's dedicated to making sure other founders don't have to go through that process alone. While most founders are building without an exit plan, Shamus breaks down the real game: ✅ Why most entrepreneurs don't even know they can sell their business - and how to start thinking like a buyer right now ✅ How to avoid the sharks in the M&A world and protect yourself from predatory buyers ✅ Why you need to prepare your business for an exit 2-3 years BEFORE you go to market ✅ What really happens emotionally the day the money hits your account - and why the Ferrari won't fix it ✅ How to build a business with your best friends, have the tough conversations, and still keep the friendship + more   Connect with Shamus: Shamus McNutt on Instagram Shamus McNutt on LinkedIn   Connect with Volare AI: volare.ai Volare AI on LinkedIn   --- Connect with Nick Lamagna www.nicknicknick.com Text Nick (516)540-5733 Connect on ALL Social Media and Podcast Platforms Here FREE Checklist on how to bring more value to your buyers  

When a rare disease suddenly dominates headlines, questions spread quickly and so does anxiety. Over the past few weeks, hantavirus has re-entered the national conversation, leaving many families wondering how concerned they should be. For pediatricians, moments like this can be challenging as they balance public concern with clinical reality, and help families navigate information that is often incomplete, alarming or misleading. In this episode, we take a closer look at hantavirus through an evidence-based pediatric lens including what it is, how transmission occurs, who is truly at risk and what clinicians should know when these questions inevitably enter the exam room.  To create clarity, we are joined by Samuel Dominguez, MD, PhD and Justin Searns, MD. Dr. Dominguez is the Medical Director of the Clinical Microbiology Laboratory, as well as the Associate Medical Director of Infection Control and Prevention at Children's Hospital Colorado. Dr. Searns specializes in pediatric infectious diseases and hospital medicine. Both of these experts teach at the University of Colorado School of Medicine.  Some highlights from this episode include: Differentiating the types of hantaviruses based on rodent and region  Outlining the current status of the cruise ship outbreak  Tips and tricks for talking with worried families  The potential impact on patients   For more information on Children's Colorado, visit: childrenscolorado.org. 

When it comes to treating chronic sinus disease with nasal polyps…what's the best approach, surgery or biologics?Well, the answer is it's usually not either-or anymore.When patients are trying to manage these challenging conditions, some people opt for one or the other. But more physicians are finding that surgery and biologics aren't different paths. They are actually treatment protocols that complement each other.Surgery may remove the growths, but it doesn't necessarily stop the process of creating them in the first place. Biologics may suppress the inflammatory pathways driving recurrence, but they don't physically restore blocked sinus anatomy or remove bulky disease.We're entering a new phase of care where the question is no longer “surgery or biologics?” but how both can work together as part of a personalized strategy.Instead of treating every patient the same way, physicians are now looking deeper at the inflammatory pathways driving disease, recurrence risk, quality of life, and even how different biologics target different parts of the immune cascade.The shift is moving chronic sinus care away from a one-size-fits-all model and toward precision medicine that's designed around the individual patient.In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Tassos Hantzakos, staff physician in otolaryngology and residency program director at Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi, and Dr. Deepa Sheth, allergy and immunology specialist.Together, we break down how the treatment landscape for chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps is evolving, why collaboration between ENT and allergy specialists is becoming essential, and how biologics are reshaping the future of inflammatory airway disease management.Things You'll Learn In This Episode Not just a surgical problemFor decades, treatment focused on physically removing nasal polyps, but many patients still experienced recurrence. Why does surgery alone often fail to stop the disease?Biologics are changing how we think about airway diseaseNew biologic therapies are targeting different parts of the inflammatory cascade. How do physicians decide which biologic is the best fit for a specific patient?The future of treatment is collaborative, not competitiveThe conversation is shifting away from “surgery versus biologics” toward integrated care between ENT surgeons and allergists. When should surgery come first, and when should biologics be introduced?Precision medicine is reshaping chronic inflammatory careDifferent patients may require different treatment approaches. How does identifying the root inflammatory driver completely change long-term management outcomes?Guest BioDr. Tassos Hantzakos is a staff physician in the Otolaryngology Department at Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi's Integrated Surgical Institute, where he also serves as Program Director of the Otolaryngology Residency. His clinical expertise spans otolaryngology, rhinology, phonosurgery, laryngeal laser surgery, and voice disorders.

  Genetic testing is no longer a distant, specialized tool reserved for rare disease clinics or academic centers. It's showing up in pediatric practice. For example, pediatricians are increasingly considering genetic diagnoses in children with developmental delays outside the normal range. A NICU graduate may already carry a genetic diagnosis when they see their pediatrician after discharge. What does the practicing pediatric provider need to understand about ordering and interpreting genetic tests?  In this episode, we unpack how community pediatricians can make sense of the world of genomics. Joining us for this robust conversation are Austin Larson, MD, and Margarita Saenz, MD. Dr. Larson is a pediatric medical and biochemical geneticist. He is the Medical Director of Precision Medicine Clinical Informatics, as well as the Director of the Mitochondrial Care Network Clinic at Children's Hospital Colorado. Dr. Saenz specializes in clinical genetics and dysmorphology. She is the Medical Director of Precision Medicine Education and Family Engagement. They both are faculty members at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. Some highlights from this episode include: Recent advances making genetic testing more accessible to patients  How the rise of exome and genome sequencing has changed the diagnostic approach in pediatrics  Secondary findings and how they should be discussed in advanced Practical advice for a pediatrician who feels overwhelmed to order and interpret these tests  For more information on Children's Colorado, visit: childrenscolorado.org.

Over three-quarters of the global population has never lived through a major global energy crisis, such as those of the 1970s. In early 2026, that is about to change as the world faces the largest energy disruption in history, measured by the daily loss of oil output. This crisis won't be evenly distributed but will be felt everywhere – and is guaranteed to have ripple effects we won't see coming. How much oil remains in circulation, and what level of damage has already been inflicted on our global energy infrastructure? In this episode, Nate is joined by oil market analyst Rory Johnston to discuss how the Strait of Hormuz closure has led to the largest oil supply shock in history, and what the exact numbers and cascading effects are. He also breaks down the primary strategies countries will have to use to adapt to energy losses, including resorting to demand destruction, and what the disastrous risks are if shortages are allowed to persist. Rory also explains the lag between the closure, the real world impact of oil not being able to enter global circulation, and the market's response. Ultimately, Rory and Nate explore the impact of this situation on international trust and cooperation, and what that might mean for a global market system predicated on interdependence and free trade.  Who are the energy winners and losers in this war so far, and how are our global leaders accounting for the exponential risks of continued warfare? In what way can average people prepare for the energy shocks soon to ripple out across the globe? And lastly, if we do recover from this scenario, how might we treat these disruptions as a dress rehearsal for a future of lower material throughput by building greater resilience and interconnection at the local level? (Conversation recorded on April 23rd, 2026)     About Rory Johnston: Rory Johnston is a Toronto-based oil market researcher, the founder of Commodity Context, a lecturer at the University of Toronto's Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy, host of the Oil Ground Up podcast, as well as a Fellow with both the Canadian Global Affairs Institute and the Payne Institute for Public Policy at the Colorado School of Mines. He is a leading voice on oil market analysis, advising institutional investors, global policy makers, and corporate decision makers.  Prior to founding Commodity Context, Rory led commodity economics research at Scotiabank where he set the bank's energy and metals price forecasts, advised the bank's executives and clients, and sat on the bank's senior credit committee for commodity-exposed sectors.   Show Notes and More   Watch this video episode on YouTube   Want to learn the broad overview of The Great Simplification in 30 minutes?

A toddler takes their first bite of peanut butter and breaks out in hives. A parent sits across from you, equal parts frightened and overwhelmed, asking the question you hear every day, "What happens now?" Food allergies have long lived at the intersection of fear and uncertainty, for families and clinicians alike. But that story is changing. A landscape once defined by strict avoidance is rapidly evolving into proactive management, personalized risk assessment, and emerging therapies that are reshaping outcomes. In this episode, we step into that evolving world. From early introduction and updated diagnostic strategies to the expanding role of oral immunotherapy and biologics, we'll unpack what's here, what's coming, and what it means for how you care for patients in real time.   Two allergy experts, David Fleischer, MD, and Allison Hicks, MD, join us for this episode. Dr. Fleischer is the Section Head of Allergy and Immunology, as well as the Director of the Allergy and Immunology Center at Children's Hospital Colorado. Dr. Hicks is the Director of Food and Immunotherapies. They both teach at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. Some highlights from this episode include: How food allergy management has evolved  The biggest misconceptions about food allergies  The latest guidelines on early, consistent introduction to different foods  What the current treatment options look like and the role of the pediatrician  For more information on Children's Colorado, visit: childrenscolorado.org.

Stijn Schmitz welcomes Steve Hanke, Professor of Applied Economics at Johns Hopkins University, to discuss global economic trends, monetary policy, and the emerging commodity super cycle. The professor’s outlook suggests a complex economic landscape with potential for significant disruption, driven by monetary policy, geopolitical tensions, and structural changes in global trade and commodity markets. Hanke emphasizes the critical importance of money supply as a key indicator of economic activity and inflation, noting that the United States is currently experiencing an accelerating money supply that will make controlling inflation challenging. The discussion highlights several significant global economic dynamics, particularly focusing on commodity markets and geopolitical tensions. Hanke argues that the world is entering a commodity super cycle characterized by underinvestment, supply chain disruptions, and precautionary inventory building. The ongoing conflict in the Gulf region and disruptions to global trade have further complicated commodity markets, with potential oil prices ranging from $100 to $350 per barrel depending on supply constraints. Geopolitically, Hanke suggests that Russia and China are emerging as significant winners in this environment, while the United States has potentially weakened its global position through its actions. He dismisses concerns about de-dollarization, arguing that the US dollar remains the dominant global currency with limited realistic alternatives. On inflation, Hanke predicts continued upward pressure due to monetary policy loosening, commercial bank lending growth, and federal reserve actions. He emphasizes that inflation is fundamentally a monetary phenomenon, driven by increases in money supply rather than isolated economic events. Regarding commodities, Hanke identifies several sectors poised for growth, including critical materials like lithium and vanadium. He recommends investors be “long everything” in the commodity space, noting significant price increases in various exotic commodities.

ICON has been telling the same story since 2018. Humanity has a construction problem that solving for regulations and supply-demand incentives alone won't fix. We need fundamentally new ways to build. Jason Ballard, ICON's founder and CEO, and Will Hurd, the former CIA officer, congressman, and OpenAI board member who just joined as President of ICON Prime, came on to lay out what happens when a non-consensus thesis held for eight years starts to materialize in the real world. The conversation cuts across the full stack, housing, AI, robotics, labor, reindustrialization, and space. The through-line is Ballard's argument that breakthrough technologies are never narrow, that building the technology for a moon base solves the housing and building crisis on Earth.

ICON has been named one of the "Most Innovative Companies in the World" by Fast Company and recently profiled on CBS's 60 MINUTES.  Raising $451 million to date in funding, ICON has delivered communities of resilient 3D-printed homes at high-speed and lower cost in the U.S. and internationally and forged partnerships with world-renowned architects, builders and housing organizations missionally aligned to shift the paradigm of homebuilding. In fall 2022, ICON was awarded $57.2 million from NASA to develop a lunar surface construction system that will target humanity's first-ever construction on another planetary body. In 2019, Ballard was awarded the Austin Under 40 Award in the Technology category. In 2021, Ballard was named to TIME100 Next as one of the emerging leaders shaping the future as well as Newsweek's America's Greatest Disruptors: Visionaries and Innovators Who Are Changing the World. Prior to co-founding ICON, Ballard served as CEO of an eco-friendly home upgrade company that normalized sustainable and healthy approaches to home improvement. Before becoming an entrepreneur, Ballard worked at a homeless shelter, in various roles in sustainable building, and as an environmental consultant for ACRT. Ballard is a GLG Social Impact Fellow and served on the Carbon War Room / Rocky Mountain Institute Energy Think Tank. Ballard hails from East Texas and studied conservation biology at Texas A&M University. He also completed a masters program in Space Resources at Colorado School of Mines in 2022.

Stijn Schmitz welcomes Rory Johnston to the show. Rory Johnston is Commodity Market Research who specializes in oil and gas. This episode delves into the complex dynamics of the current oil market crisis stemming from the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, exploring the profound implications for global energy supply and geopolitical tensions. Johnston provides a detailed analysis of the current oil market situation, highlighting that approximately 20 million barrels of oil per day typically transit through the Strait of Hormuz, with about 13 million barrels currently disrupted. Despite this massive supply shock, oil prices remain surprisingly low, which Johnston attributes to several factors, including market resilience, slow-moving commodity markets, and complex geopolitical negotiations. The discussion reveals the potential devastating consequences of prolonged strait closure, particularly for developing countries. While advanced economies might absorb price increases, many regions in the global south could experience complete fuel shortages, causing significant economic and humanitarian challenges. Johnston predicts that if the situation continues, demand destruction will become inevitable, potentially forcing prices to astronomical levels. Interestingly, the conversation also explores the nuanced motivations of key players like the United States, Iran, and Israel. Johnston suggests that Iran potentially benefits from prolonging the conflict, while the United States appears increasingly desperate to reach a resolution. He believes the crisis will likely conclude with Iran gaining some recognized control over the Strait of Hormuz. Johnston’s base case scenario anticipates the strait potentially reopening by mid-May, but warns that the market will require months to rebalance. The cumulative oil supply loss could reach over 1.2 billion barrels, fundamentally altering the global oil market’s dynamics. He emphasizes that what was previously an oversupplied market will likely transform into a tighter, potentially higher-priced environment.

Patients only retain a fraction of what they hear in a consultation. That gap is where deposits stall, phone calls pile up, and confidence erodes between the consult and the operating room. Closing that gap isn't about talking more — it's about giving patients something they can take home, share with their family, and come back to.A Nextech user from day one, Dr. Michael McCracken is a board-certified oculoplastic surgeon who uses TouchMD to draw directly on patient photos during consults, assigns pre-op and post-op “homework” — including short videos he records himself — and gives patients a HIPAA-compliant way to keep the conversation going at home with their spouse or partner.They also get into why photo quality is the real calling card of an aesthetic practice today, how to structure educational videos patients will actually watch, and what consistent consult and post-op systems do for closing rates, phone volume, and patient trust.Questions answered by this episode:How do plastic surgeons use TouchMD during patient consultations?How can aesthetic practices reduce repetitive patient phone calls after surgery?What is the best way to educate patients before and after a cosmetic procedure?How long should patient education videos be for an aesthetic practice?Why are before-and-after photos so important for plastic surgery marketing?How can I share before-and-after photos without violating HIPAA?What is an oculoplastic surgeon?How much do patients actually remember from a consultation?How can I show a patient what their surgical result will look like?What makes a high-quality patient photograph in an aesthetic practice?Michael S.

Interview with Nathan Kong, CEO of Bayan Mining & MineralsRecording date: 17th April 2026Bayan Mining and Minerals is emerging as a rare earths and critical minerals story built around two themes: geological proximity to a proven U.S. rare earth district and technology that could improve downstream processing economics. Its Desert Star project in California sits just 4.5 km from Mountain Pass, the only producing rare earth mine in the United States, and early surface sampling has returned grades as high as 6.68% total rare earth oxides, giving the company a credible exploration target in a strategically important jurisdiction.The near-term catalyst is a maiden 1,000-meter reverse circulation drilling program scheduled for June 2026, with results expected in July or August. Bayan says the program will test both shallow high-grade anomalies and deeper extensions, with the geological model suggesting a possible carbonatite system at depth and monazite mineralisation near surface. The company has framed success around meaningful intercepts and retains flexibility to expand drilling quickly if early holes are encouraging.What differentiates Bayan from a standard junior explorer is its licensing of four rare earth processing patents from Colorado School of Mines. Those technologies include a single-stage leach approach and other separation and recovery methods designed for bastnaesite-dominant ores like those at Mountain Pass, where they were developed and tested. The strategic appeal is not only higher recoveries and lower processing complexity, but also a stronger position for U.S. government support as Washington pushes to rebuild domestic critical minerals supply chains.Bayan also has portfolio depth. Its Bayan Springs gold-silver project in Nevada's Carlin Trend provides additional upside and downside protection, while the company's cash balance of $2.8 million gives it runway for multiple drill campaigns without immediate funding pressure. Overall, the investment case rests on a convergence of location, geology, technology licensing, and policy tailwinds that could make Bayan a notable participant in the U.S. rare earth buildout.Sign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Salt can be found in almost every kitchen in the world. But how did this seemingly simple ingredient become the world's favourite flavour enhancer? This week, Crowdscience sets out to uncover why these tiny crystals have such a powerful effect on us. We explore the magic behind this tiny mineral that has shaped our tongues, our culture, and our cravings. Our investigation begins with CrowdScience listener George, who heard from a friend that if he added a few grains of salt to his morning coffee, he could make it taste less bitter. Following some light investigation at his local coffee chain, he began wondering why salt make things taste more delicious. To try and find an answer, presenter Anand Jagatia heads to a salt mine in Austria with Daniel Bradner, an archaeologist from the Natural History Museum of Vienna. The mine is 200 kilometres from the sea, so where does all the salt come from? In London, UK, we meet Adriana Cavita, a chef who helps us explore how salt transforms what we eat:  sharpening aromas, softening harsh flavours, and boosting sweetness. We explore the receptors inside our mouth with taste expert Courtney Wilson from the University of Colorado School of Medicine in the US, to find out how we detect whether there's too much or too little salt in our food.    And we meet Joel Geerling, Associate Professor of Neurology at the University of Iowa, US, who's been looking inside the brain to try and work out why we crave salt. He's discovered an incredible system that's highly engineered to give us an appetite for salt. Could it be the answer to George's question?

In this episode of Social Work Talks, we discuss Moral Injury and how it manifests in social work with Pari Thibodeau, PhD, LCSW. Pari is a licensed clinical social worker providing therapeutic interventions for adults coping with trauma at the Stress, Trauma, Adversity Research & Treatment Center at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. Pari is also a doctorate-level social work researcher in the space of workforce well-being, with a special focus on the well-being and mental health of behavioral health providers. Pari examines the concept of moral injury as a metric of well-being. Our host for this conversation is NASW Staffer, Josh Klapperick, MSW.   According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, moral injury occurs "when individuals perpetrate, fail to prevent, or witness acts that violate their own ethical code, often leading to intense guilt, shame, and betrayal."

Send us Fan MailPodcast guest, Dr. Jon Geller, graduated from Colorado State's College of Veterinary Medicine at age 44. From a mobile mixed animal practice to Jon building and leading emergency hospitals, to a non-profit founder. An inspiring keynote talk about doing all things in love, soon followed by an encounter with a homeless man and his pit bull, led Jon to change his path again.Jon founded The Street Dog Coalition, providing free veterinary care to pets of people experiencing homelessness. It led him to earn his Master of Public Health from the University of Minnesota. It took him to the Ukraine border, two weeks after the war broke out, where he set up a veterinary tent for refugees crossing with their pets. And it has turned him into one of the most compelling advocates for access to care and the human-animal bond in our profession today.Jon describes his career as moving from one end of the leash to the other — from treating animals to understanding the humans on the other side of that bond, and what it means when that bond is all someone has left.  We also discuss bold ideas for systemic change and why it is never too late to start something that matters.Guest: Jon Geller, DVM, (CSU '95), ABVP Diplomate emeritus, MPH (UMN '24), Distinguished Fellow, National Academies of Practice, Adjunct Faculty, Colorado School of Public HealthResourcesVideo version on YouTubePodcast Episode GuideStreet Dog Coalition websiteWorldwide Vets websiteHABRI policiesSupport the showMore Vet Life Reimagined?

A tired teen who struggles to get out of bed or a child whose growth is falling behind expectations, are familiar clinical problems, each with a differential diagnosis. Thyroid disorders are often on the differential for many common symptoms we see, yet thyroid disease rarely walks into the office announcing itself. Instead, thyroid disorders can hide in plain sight, disguised as other diagnoses such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, delayed puberty, constipation or "just teenage hormones." In this episode, we've diving into the physiology, the pitfalls and the practical decisions behind pediatric thyroid care. Because when we understand the thyroid, we can protect long-term health. Maggie Chan, MD, is an endocrinologist at Children's Hospital Colorado, as well as an associate professor at the University of Colorado School of Medicine.

Anatomy doesn't work in silos. For example, the airway affects feeding. Feeding affects growth. Reflux affects the lungs. Suddenly, one child has three subspecialists and one very full calendar. Aerodigestive medicine lives in that overlap, and while multidisciplinary teams bring powerful expertise, primary care providers are co-managing these patients. They are fielding the "is this normal" calls. They are tracking growth, advocating for these patients and helping families make sense of recommendations. In this episode, we talked to two experts about what meaningful co-management looks like, Emily DeBoer, MD, and Todd Wine, MD. Dr. DeBoer specializes in pulmonology at Children's Colorado and is a professor at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. Dr. Wine specializes in otolaryngology and is an associate professor.  Some highlights from this episode include: Which patients benefit from multidisciplinary aerodigestive care versus traditional single-specialty referrals  How respiratory diagnoses impact patients  How primary care clinicians can support patients  Overview of aerodigestive programs across the country  For more information on Children's Colorado, visit: childrenscolorado.org.

The nuclear power sector is gaining a lot of momentum. But even as SMRs continue to flourish, the Department of Energy's reactor pilot program moves forward, and decommissioned plants come back online, the question of what to do with nuclear waste has largely stayed out of the spotlight. The U.S. currently houses 90,000 tons of spent nuclear fuel; as more plants come online, that number could rise dramatically.  In this episode, Shayle speaks to Dr. Jen Shafer, a former ARPA-E director and current professor at the Colorado School of Mines, to learn more about waste itself, and how to dispose of — or recycle it — as the industry evolves. The two cover topics like: The physical and chemical composition of spent nuclear fuel Short-term versus long-term hazards of waste The stalled disposal site at Yucca Mountain in Nevada Wet versus dry storage methods for nuclear waste The strategies for managing the waste from advanced reactors The “take back” model for managing microreactor waste Resources Catalyst: The path to market for new nuclear reactors Catalyst: The US nuclear groundswell Open Circuit: Inside Meta's massive nuclear push Open Circuit: Fear and loathing at the Department of Energy Latitude Media: What TerraPower's big milestone says about future nuclear projects Latitude Media: Commonwealth Fusion Systems launches digital twin with Nvidia and Siemens Latitude Media: Trump Media's bizarre fusion play for TAE Technologies Credits: Hosted by Shayle Kann.

That's where we meet Paul Knight, newly selected for the 2026 Trail Team Elite and fresh off D2 Indoor Nationals, where a strength-focused block for the 10K unexpectedly sharpened his 3K and 5K speed too. We dig into what that kind of fitness means when you're eyeing trail racing and skyrunning, where the pace changes constantly and the terrain demands more than clean splits.Paul grew up in Durango, Colorado, with the San Juan Mountains as his backyard and Hardrock 100 as part of the local summer rhythm. He explains how early trail days, big climbs, and fast descents built both confidence and an aerobic base, and why one of his most “committed” seasons on paper felt flat when he stopped trail running. The through line is motivation: when training is enjoyable, consistency follows, and consistency is the real superpower for endurance athletes.We also get practical about the muddy middle between NCAA running and the pro trail scene. Paul shares why Trail Team Elite felt like the right bridge, how mentorship and community shape opportunities, and how he's thinking about race choices like Broken Arrow now while keeping an eye on bigger dreams like Hardrock and UTMB. On top of it all, he's pursuing a master's in bioengineering at Colorado School of Mines and trying to picture a life that blends biotech work with racing.If you're into trail running, mountain running, skyracing, or the transition from collegiate running to trails, you'll leave with a clearer map and a bigger sense of what's possible.

Send us Fan MailThe NCAA doesn't last forever, but the hunger to train, compete, and belong to a team doesn't magically disappear at graduation. That's where Grace Strongman is right now: a Colorado School of Mines standout, a materials engineer, and one of the newest additions to Trail Team Elite, stepping into trail racing with equal parts confidence and curiosity.We trace Grace's story from growing up in Kansas City in an all-sports household to discovering cross country in high school, nearly quitting on day one, and then getting pulled in by the people around her. She explains how coaches shape identity, why the running community matters, and how trails became a source of peace after her coach used them as a way to keep her effort under control. From there we get into what it's like choosing a school based on engineering first, finding the right fit at Mines, and treating training like a long science experiment across events from the mile to the 10K.Grace also opens up about the real balance of elite running and a demanding materials engineering schedule, plus what she wants professionally, from research to the possibility of coaching. Finally, we talk trail racing goals and the shift from track pressure to the more open, community-driven world of short trail, including her plan to debut at Broken Arrow 23K and longer-term dreams like Moab, Pikes Peak, and eventually racing in Europe. If you care about trail running, post-collegiate running, endurance mindset, and the engineering side of performance, this one hits all of it.

"For early career geophysicists, I think it's really important to understand that DAS is going to have a unique role in reservoir management, be it onshore or offshore." Distributed acoustic sensing is opening new possibilities for how geophysicists collect and use seismic data. Ali Tura shares practical insights from his experience and highlights how these ideas will be explored further in his upcoming course on DAS applications. He explains how the technology's sensitivity, wide frequency range, and cost advantages make it valuable, while also emphasizing the importance of understanding its limitations. Learn more and register for the course (13-16 July 2026) at https://seg.org/shop/product/?id=product&id=ed9c4ebc-48dc-f011-8544-7c1e525cc2b5. KEY TAKEAWAYS > DAS sensitivity and bandwidth: DAS can detect extremely small signals across a very wide frequency range, making it useful for everything from geomechanics to seismic monitoring. > Cost and operational efficiency: Using existing fiber optic infrastructure allows teams to run surveys at much lower cost, especially for repeated monitoring like 4D seismic or CO2 storage. > Fit-for-purpose application: DAS is powerful but not universal, so success depends on choosing the right use case, deployment method, and survey design. GUEST BIO Ali Tura is Professor of Geophysics and Co-director of the Reservoir Characterization Project at Colorado School of Mines.

Bullying doesn't always look like bruises and broken lunch trays. Sometimes it looks like a kid who suddenly "hates" school or a teen who's glued to their phone but never smiling. Other times, it's a patient who keeps showing up to clinic with vague symptoms like headaches, nausea and no clear diagnosis. In pediatrics, we're trained to look for patterns in data such as growth charts and lab results. But some of the most crucial patterns show up in silence, withdrawal and fear. In this episode about bullying, we are going to examine how it's changed, how it hides and why it's a health issue, not just a school problem. Lauren Henry, PhD, is a psychologist at Children's Hospital Colorado, as well as an assistant professor at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. Some highlights from this episode include: How to screen for bullying in your clinic  Best ways to talk to parents and patients about bullying  The impact of bullying on mental health for children  Understanding the signs of bullying   For more information on Children's Colorado, visit: childrenscolorado.org.
