KYW Newsradio's Rasa Kaye continues her conversation with Cardiothoracic Surgeon Allen Cheng, MD, Department Chair of Surgery at Deborah Hearth and Lung Center.
This episode centers on a conversation with sociologists Dr. Nicholas Wolfinger and Dr. Matthew McKeever about their book “Thanks for Nothing: The Economics of Single Motherhood since 1980” and what it reveals about poverty, race, and U.S. policy. The hosts discuss the core puzzle: even after four decades of gains in women's education and employment, single-mother families are still about five times more likely to be poor than two-parent families, just as they were in 1980. The guests revisit the 1965 Moynihan Report on the “Negro Family,” how it got tangled up with Oscar Lewis's “culture of poverty” thesis, and how both were weaponized in the culture wars. Wolfinger and McKeever stress that Moynihan's actual policy prescriptions were economic—jobs programs and large-scale public investment in Black communities—not moral lectures, but that critics (and later conservatives) recast his work as an attack on Black family culture. They trace a longer state preoccupation with “the family,” from Civil War–era pensions for Union widows and anxieties over divorce in Teddy Roosevelt's day to the backlash against desegregation and the way Brown v. Board rerouted structural segregation into school fights rather than housing policy. The conversation then turns to single motherhood as an economic condition rather than a moral category. The guests emphasize a simple but often ignored fact: one-earner families have fewer resources than two-earner families, and the majority of people in single-parent families are children. They dismantle the “deserving vs. undeserving poor” narrative that paints single mothers as irresponsible, sexually reckless, or “choosing” poverty, arguing instead that policy has systematically stripped support from families at the bottom while rewarding a subset of working poor through mechanisms like the Earned Income Tax Credit. Programs such as the EITC, they note, do get cash to low-income workers, but they also deepen inequality within the population of single mothers by boosting those who can maintain steady employment while leaving the least advantaged further behind. A recurring theme is the “fundamental attribution error”: the human tendency to attribute hardship to bad character instead of bad circumstances. The hosts use this to frame how conservative pundits like Ann Coulter talk about single mothers—blaming “promiscuity” and “choices” rather than the collapse of secure jobs, stagnant wages, and the cost of housing and childcare. Wolfinger and McKeever acknowledge that culture, neighborhood effects, and even heritable personality traits can play some role in intergenerational disadvantages, but they insist that the levers governments can actually pull are economic: wages, unions, transfers, and public goods like childcare and schooling. Nicholas H. Wolfinger is a professor of sociology at the University of Utah, specializing in family demography, marriage and divorce, and social inequality. Matthew McKeever is Professor of Sociology and Department Chair at Haverford. Prior to that, he was at Mount Holyoke College, Rice University, University of Houston, University of Kentucky, and Yale University.

In this episode of Derms and Conditions, host James Q. Del Rosso, DO, sits down with Laura Ferris, MD, to explore the path to, and realities of, serving as a department chair in academic dermatology. They begin with Dr Ferris describing the motivations that led her to consider a leadership role, sharing the self-reflective questions that guided her thinking, including how to continue growing professionally, how care delivery can be improved, and where she could make the greatest long-term impact. The conversation then turns to stepping into the chair role itself. Dr Ferris introduces the idea of a “listening tour,” and the value of meeting with faculty and staff early, understanding what matters most to them, and easing fears that change will disrupt what they value in their work. She stresses that a department's success depends on shared ownership, not top-down decision-making. They next discuss building productive relationships beyond the academic setting, particularly with community dermatologists. Dr Ferris describes her department's noncompetitive approach, focusing on clinical excellence, referral partnerships, and aligning care so patients are matched with the right expertise. A key portion of the discussion centers on working effectively with advanced practice providers (APPs). Dr Ferris outlines her department's physician-to-APP model, highlighting mentorship, collaboration, and thoughtful delegation to ensure high-quality care. The episode concludes with Dr Ferris sharing her goals for the future, including reducing silos, strengthening integration between clinical care and research, expanding translational efforts, and improving access for underserved and rural populations through tools like e-consults. She emphasizes the importance of engaging faculty, residents, and learners in shaping a shared vision and turning ideas into action. Tune in to the episode to hear practical leadership insights, real-world lessons on collaboration, and thoughtful perspectives on guiding a dermatology department through growth and change.

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.

What happens when a respected orthopaedic chair steps away from the big title to get back to the OR, residents, and real day-to-day impact? We sit down with Dr. Keith Kenter to unpack a rare leadership arc—building an academic culture in Kalamazoo, navigating post-COVID administrative sprawl, and ultimately returning to Missouri to reclaim core values: teaching, operating, and mentoring. It's a candid look at ego, identity, and the quiet power of influence without authority.Dr. Kenter shares how he elevated scholarly activity, promoted faculty, and designed a longitudinal musculoskeletal education program, then watched his role expand across multiple surgical services until the clinical work he loved slipped out of reach. Family, foresight, and timing opened a door at Mizzou, where strong culture and deep bench strength offered collaboration, patient-first focus, and the daily satisfaction of training the next generation.If the story resonates, follow the show, share with a colleague, and leave a review with your biggest “leading up” takeaway.

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?

In the mid-20th century, many in academia assumed that serious philosophy had little room for Christian belief. But in the past fifty-plus years, something remarkable has happened—a quiet revolution in the philosophy departments of leading universities. Christian philosophers have not only entered the conversation; they've shaped it, challenged prevailing assumptions, and earned a respected place in scholarly dialogue. In this episode, we're joined by Dr. Greg Ganssle, author, philosopher, and Department Chair of Talbot School of Theology's Philosophy Department. We explore how the revival of Christian philosophy began, the thinkers who helped spark it, and what it means for students of faith navigating the intellectual climate of today's colleges in all academic departments. In this podcast we discuss: Why conversations about what is really real (including God) were off the table in the early 20th Century What happened in the 1960s to change this climate in our universities How these changes opened the door for Christian philosophy to re-enter the academic conversation The importance of intentionally uniting biblical truth and philosophical truth, and of forming community among Christian philosophers The methodology and strategy of Christian philosophers to renew their discipline for God's glory How Christian philosophers earned respect for their perspectives The state of apologetics (applied philosophy) today and in the future How students in other majors can apply what we learn from the renaissance of Christian thought in philosophy What insight from philosophy has been most helpful to him personally in his walk with Christ Resources mentioned during our conversation: The Society of Christian Philosophers (Journal: Faith and Philosophy) The Evangelical Philosophical Society (Journal: Philosophia Christi) Alvin Plantinga, God and Other Minds: A Study of the Rational Justification of Belief in God Rivendell Institute at Yale University Greg Ganssle, A Reasonable God: Engaging the New Face of Atheism Paul Gould, Cultural Apologetics: Renewing the Christian Voice, Conscience, and Imagination in a Disenchanted World Greg Ganssle, Our Deepest Desires: How the Christian Story Fulfills Human Aspirations Clifford Williams, Existential Reasons for Belief in God: A Defense of Desires and Emotions for Faith Wayne Grudem, Systematic Theology: An Introduction to Biblical Doctrine College Faith podcasts on Community JP Moreland, The Recalcitrant Imago Dei: Human Persons and the Failure of Naturalism Stan Wallace, Have We Lost Our Minds?

** You are invited to attend Macro ‘n Chill, our community building online gathering where we discuss the current episode of the podcast. Tuesday, September 23 at 8pm ET/5pm PT Click here to register. Our friend, MMT economist Yeva Nersisyan, joins Steve to discuss the struggle to communicate MMT's core principles in a media landscape filled with misinformation, including from those who should know better. They call some of them out by name and express disappointment when natural allies on the left reject modern monetary theory. “At this point, you cannot just be MMT curious. You have to make up your mind, do you want the ‘scarce money' framework? Is that the way you're going to view the world? Or do you view it through the MMT framework? Because there is no other option.” Yeva and Steve agree that MMT is not a political ideology but a crucial lens for understanding that a monetarily sovereign government is the creator of currency, which means scarcity is serving another purpose – eg, supporting this economic system. They talk about government spending during Covid as a missed opportunity to educate. They criticize so-called progressive politicians (hello Bernie!) who, despite likely understanding MMT, refuse to publicly champion its principles. This leads to self-sabotage (perhaps intentionally?) when they claim to argue for progressive policies within a conservative tax-and-spend agenda. Result? Austerity. As we regularly try to stress, a correct understanding of MMT is no solution, but rather a tool in building a revolutionary class analysis. Dr. Yeva Nersisyan is an associate professor of Economics and Department Chair at Franklin and Marshall College and a research scholar at Levy Economics Institute of Bard College. Professor Nersisyan has published more than 25 journal articles, book chapters, policy notes and policy briefs on the topics of Modern Monetary Theory, fiscal policy, the Green New Deal, and financial instability. She is the editor of the Elgar Companion to Modern Monetary Theory with L. Randall Wray, and her work has appeared in publications such as The Guardian and The Hill.

Welcome to another episode of the Sustainable Clinical Medicine Podcast! In this inspiring episode, Dr. Sarah Smith sits down with Dr. Cynthia Chen-Joea, a double board-certified family and obesity medicine physician, educator, and passionate advocate for physician wellness. Dr. Cynthia shares her personal journey from academic medicine through the challenges of burnout, her transformative experience with coaching, and how becoming a parent reshaped her professional values and priorities. Together, they dive deep into the realities of trauma and harm in medical training, the persistence of unhealthy work habits into clinical practice, and the importance of redefining our identities as physicians. Dr. Cynthia also discusses practical strategies for establishing boundaries, healing from the pressures of perfectionism and people-pleasing, and making medicine truly sustainable. You'll hear about her current work supporting physicians through coaching, retreats, and advocacy, and discover how small daily changes can lead to a more meaningful, balanced career. If you've ever questioned what it means to thrive in medicine, or wondered how to reclaim your empathy and joy for the profession, this conversation is packed with insightful stories and actionable advice. Tune in for a message of hope, transformation, and the reminder that a sustainable career in medicine is possible. Here are 3 key takeaways from this episode: Medical training often normalizes unhealthy patterns: Dr. Chen-Joea highlights how the culture of self-sacrifice and hierarchy during medical training can introduce trauma, shaping physicians to ignore their own needs. Breaking these cycles is essential for lasting well-being. Redefining your career is possible—and necessary: Whether through coaching, boundary-setting, or exploring new roles, Dr. Chen-Joea emphasizes that medicine can be sustainable. Small, intentional changes—like building in non-negotiable personal time—can have a huge impact. Trauma awareness matters (and it's practical): Understanding your own “activation” responses (like fight, flight, freeze, or fawn) is key. Recognizing these signs allows clinicians to proactively care for themselves and model healthy behaviors for colleagues and patients alike. Meet Dr. Cynthia Chen-Joea: Dr. Cynthia Chen-Joea is a physician career and life coach dedicated to helping early-career physicians finding sustainability in medicine by achieving their “career by design” goals while cultivating a healthy work-life balance. She is a double board-certified physician in family and obesity medicine. Dr. Chen-Joea currently serves as a Medical Director of Copa de Oro Medical Group and Inpatient Director at the Charles Drew Family Medicine Residency Program. In addition to her clinical work, Dr. Chen-Joea has held numerous leadership roles, including her past position as Department Chair of Family Medicine, Secretary-Treasurer of the Medical Staff and Physician Advisor at Emanate Health. She is also very active in advocacy on her local, state and national specialty organizations, and currently represents her peers as the New Physician Director on the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) Board of Directors. Dr. Chen-Joea is passionate about advancing physician wellness, advocating at the systemic level, and providing individual coaching support to empower physicians in achieving sustainable careers in medicine. Her interests include inpatient medicine, leadership, advocacy, procedures and women's health. Outside of work, Dr. Chen-Joea enjoys quality time with her two-year-old daughter and her nine-year-old pup, traveling and exploring new cultures with her husband, savoring delicious foods, practicing yoga and Pilates, and indulging in the occasional Netflix reality TV binge.

Most Americans hardly knew about autism in the 1980s and '90s. Then, as if suddenly, autism became big news in the 2000s. And the rate of autism has increased since, including diagnosis among adults. But how did this happen?

College students may be pros at pulling off last-minute study sessions, but when it comes to finances, cramming just doesn't cut it.Everyone often needs a budget, and for college students, that is even more crucial. Today, Dr. Kelly Rush joins us with practical budgeting advice every college student should hear.Dr. Kelly Rush is a Professor of Finance, Department Chair, and Financial Planning Program Coordinator at Mount Vernon Nazarene University in Ohio. Why Budgeting Matters More Than You ThinkProverbs 22:6 tells us to “train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.” That's not just true for spiritual instruction—it applies to money too. The habits we form in college, for better or worse, often follow us into adulthood. And if students don't develop intentional stewardship during these formative years, they may face regrets down the road that could've been avoided.Most students know they shouldn't spend recklessly, but they often don't know where their money is going. Without a written budget or a tool to track spending, it's easy to watch bank accounts shrink faster than expected—and not know why.Budgeting isn't about restriction. It's about clarity. It's about choosing in advance how to use what God has entrusted to you. And it's a habit that pays dividends over time.Understanding the Time Value of MoneyOne of the most powerful lessons a student can learn is the time value of money. It's often a reminder of the orderly nature of the God we serve since there's a logic to how money grows over time. And in every financial equation, time is the most powerful variable.Scripture encourages us to think this way. Psalm 90:12 asks God to “teach us to number our days,” and Ephesians 5:15–16 tells us to “redeem the time.” For students, this means starting early: saving early, giving early, and stewarding their resources early. That's where the real impact lies.Money also has momentum. It moves quickly. And in college, that momentum usually comes through small, frequent purchases: coffee runs, streaming subscriptions, and fast food. These little expenses add up and build financial habits, whether you realize it or not.Being aware of how money flows—and having a plan for it—is what budgeting is all about.Tools That Actually WorkToday's students are digital natives. They're not going to carry around envelopes of cash. Of course, we recommend the FaithFi app because it's easy to use, customizable, and based on biblical principles. If you're a student (or a parent helping one), it's a great place to start. You can check it out at FaithFi.com and click “App” or download it from your app store.At some point, students need to begin taking ownership of certain expenses, such as gas, clothes, and possibly even their phone bill. We encourage families to approach this like a team sport: communicate when and which expenses will be transferred from parent to student, then open a bank account and create a game plan together. That transition is not just financial—it's formative.Working during college isn't just about making money—it's about learning responsibility. Students can find part-time jobs that offer both flexibility and impact. Perhaps that involves working at a hospital if you're studying nursing, or obtaining a referee certification or barber license for higher-ROI opportunities. Work that aligns with your career goals is a double win.What About Credit?Credit is another topic that comes up often. Should students start building credit now or wait until later? Either option can work, but there are advantages to starting early, wisely. We usually suggest a secured credit card paired with a basic expense, such as gas. It's easy to track and builds a positive credit history. The key, of course, is paying it off every month.Pitfalls to Watch Out ForLet me leave you with a warning: shortcuts are tempting. College students are particularly vulnerable to the allure of quick money, exemplified by the growing trend of sports betting on campuses. I believe it's a modern gateway drug. It's addictive, dangerous, and it escalates quickly.1 Timothy 6:9 warns, “Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap…” This isn't just theoretical—it's real. Good stewards don't chase shortcuts. They honor time, build slowly, and trust God with the results.College is the ideal time to establish a solid financial foundation grounded in biblical wisdom. You've got time on your side—but only if you use it well. Start now. Budget with intentionality. Steward with purpose. And watch what God does over time.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm leasing part of my 55-acre property for a cell tower under a 59-year agreement. The monthly payments will go into my account, and I'd like to invest them in something that compounds monthly or more frequently. With my two sons and their families living on the land as well, I'm hoping to grow this income into long-term, generational wealth.
