In this episode of “At Your Convenience,” Melissa Vonder Haar, managing director of TradeWorks for iSee Store Innovations and chair of CSP's C-Store Cannabis Board, talks to Diana Eberlein at the inaugural CSP Cannabis Forum. Eberlein is the chair of the Coalition for Adult Beverage Alternatives and chief communications officer for emulsion supplier Vertosa. The two discussed the urgent threat facing hemp-derived THC products due to a Nov. 12 federal deadline that could effectively ban most products on the market. They also emphasized the need for convenience retailers to educate consumers and legislators about the category's legitimacy and the industry's desire for proper regulation.The Cannabis Forum took place March 23-25 in Lombard, Illinois.

What if the milk you are drinking could help fight cancer? In this episode of Tomorrow's Cure, we explore cholangiocarcinoma and a surprising new approach to targeting it using milk‑derived nanoparticles and precision aptamer‑based delivery. Host Lindsey Seavert is joined by surgical oncologist Dr. Rory Smoot and long‑term survivor and advocate Melinda Bachini to unpack why this cancer is so challenging, what symptoms and treatment paths patients typically face, and how emerging gene‑delivery platforms and AI‑driven discovery are opening new possibilities when standard therapies fall short. Through Melinda's 16‑year survivorship story and Dr. Smoot's lab work that literally starts with skim milk from the Mayo Clinic cafeteria, listeners hear how “chemical antibodies” called aptamers can act as molecular keys to deliver therapy directly to cholangiocarcinoma cells, and how computational tools are accelerating the search for new targets. Together, they discuss the emotional and practical realities of living at the edge of what medicine can do today, the expanding landscape of clinical trials, and why innovation in this rare cancer may ripple out to colon, lung and other hard‑to‑treat tumors.

Guest: In this special episode recorded live in Montréal, Canada at ISSCR 2026, Dr. Michael May, President and CEO of the Centre for Commercialization of Regenerative Medicine (CCRM), and Dr. Janet Rothberg, Senior Director of Process and Analytical Development at CCRM, explore how stem cell discoveries can be translated into commercially viable therapies through scalable manufacturing, company creation, investment, automation, and artificial intelligence. They emphasize the importance of considering manufacturing, quality control, market selection, reimbursement, and the evolving standard of care much earlier in the development process. They also share their vision for a future in which robust bioprocessing, better use of data, and improved regulatory and reimbursement models make iPSC-derived therapies more affordable and widely accessible.

In this episode, the network-topologist-turned-gravity-theorist explains her "Gravity from Entropy" action, which treats matter and geometry symmetrically through a geometric quantum relative entropy (not the horizon entropy of Verlinde or Jacobson). She details why it reduces to Einstein's equations at low energy while predicting a dynamical, always-positive dark energy term (the "G field"), how it may avoid black hole singularities and reproduce the area law without invoking holography, and why she believes understanding the brain may be harder than understanding quantum gravity. We close with her advice for young researchers. I hope you enjoy.

In our ongoing series Above All Else, Grant Clark turns to the seventh and most misunderstood of the deadly sins: sloth. Far from simple laziness, sloth -- or acedia -- is a spiritual apathy and quiet resistance to Jesus that can live just as easily in the heart of the overachiever as in the one on the couch."Acedia is ultimately a failure of love. It's a place of apathy toward life and a kind of spiritual boredom... Whether midday, midlife, halftime or halfway through a big project, we're tempted to give in, give up or distract ourselves. Acedia tempts us to abandon the life we have for some imagined better option somewhere else -- as in 'anywhere but here'! Acedia can also be the temptation to live our lives in imagined fantasies of what might be rather than living in the gift of what is." - Alan Fadling (An Unhurried Life)What is acedia?- The Cambridge Dictionary defines sloth as "an unwillingness to work or to make any effort" -- but the biblical concept runs far deeper- Derived from the Greek a ("not") + keedos ("to care") -- acedia is a failure of love, a resistance to the transformation God is calling us into- Pope John Paul II defined acedia as "a sadness arising from the fact that the good is difficult"- It is not just laziness -- it is a selective laziness that can look like overwork, busyness, and productivity while neglecting the most important thingWhat does acedia look like?- The story of Mary and Martha (Luke 10:38-42): Martha was productive and active, but distracted from the one thing necessary -- attentiveness to Jesus- "Acedia is 'a restlessness that entices us to pursue everything but our most important duties. Acedia distracts. It makes us lazy and sluggish toward our spiritual and practical responsibilities. It is a selective laziness that makes everything else appealing.'" - John Cassian- "Slothful people are not only found lying around on couches or beds. They are often found in the gym every morning at 5:00 A.M., leading large organizations and companies, writing books, achieving goals, and even working hundred-hour weeks. Yes, the same sin can be at work in the heart of the person glued to the TV and the person who does not have time for TV. Christian thinkers have always seen links between laziness and overwork, though the definition of sloth has morphed through the years." - Trent Casto (The Death of the Deadly Sins)- Sloth wears many masks: variety-seeking, escapism, distraction, commitment-phobia, procrastination, and never finishing what we start- The "noonday demon" of the Desert Fathers -- the midday restlessness that whispers anywhere but here- Delayed obedience: like Augustine's prayer, "Lord, give me chastity and self-control -- but not yet"- Acedia is avoiding the responsibilities that loving God and loving neighbor require - Trent CastoFrom sloth to zeal (Romans 12:11)- "Do not be slothful in zeal. Be fervent in spirit. Serve the Lord." (ESV) / "Do not lack diligence in zeal. Be fervent in spirit. Serve the Lord." (CSB)- Zeal = earnest commitment with haste and diligence; fervent = to boil, to burn -- a passion for Jesus- The word diligent in Latin (diligere) means "to love" -- to be diligent in zeal is to love- "Look at the intensity in this verse. The Christian life is neither cold nor indifferent... We face many temptations to be passive or lazy today. So let's heed this word: live on fire for Christ! And let's see that God is gracious in giving us such a command. He knows our frames. He knows our passions can cool. So he exhorts us in love. I believe every Christian in a privileged part of the world must always ask, 'Do I love comfort too much? Has it become an idol? Has it caused me to shrink back from passionate service to the Lord Jesus?'" - Tony Merida- "Since acedia is a failure to appreciate the gifts of the present moment or the present season, the classic remedy for acedia has always been to abide in the good relationships and to engage in the good work before us." - Alan Fadling- Practical response: (1) Obey straight away -- identify and repent of any area of delayed obedience; (2) Abide -- stay where God has placed you, persevere in the ordinary, and trust that God is at workVerses- Proverbs 4:23- Luke 10:38-42 (CSB)- Luke 10:40- Romans 12:11 (ESV + CSB)- Ephesians 2:8-10- Hebrews (for the joy set before him, he endured the cross)- Psalm 72
Summary: Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) is one of dermatology's most complex and underrecognized conditions and the treatment landscape is changing fast. In this episode, Dr. Faranak Kamangar sits down with Dr. Hadar Lev-tov, Associate Professor at the University of Miami, Director of the Wound Healing Fellowship, and Immediate Past President of the Hidradenitis Suppurativa Foundation, for a rapid-fire review of everything happening in the HS world right now. Dr. Lev-tov covers the currently approved therapies, the exciting drugs moving through Phase 3 trials, and the groundbreaking science linking microplastics to HS inflammation. He also shares his candid take on GLP-1s in HS management and what the future of dermatology looks like when treatments work so well that doctors can finally focus on the whole patient. Whether you're a resident just learning HS or a seasoned dermatologist trying to keep up with a fire-hose pipeline, this one is for you. Topics Covered: - Approved HS biologics: bimekizumab, secukinumab, adalimumab & biosimilars - Off-label use of infliximab (IV and subcutaneous) in severe HS - Phase 3 pipeline: remibrutinib, povorcitinib, sonelokimab (nanobodies) - CAR T-cell therapy and the possibility of curing inflammatory skin disease - Microplastics, nicastrin, and a landmark Nature Communications paper on HS - GLP-1s in HS: what we know, what we don't, and Dr. Levtov's clinical approach - The HS Foundation's research grants, HS Academy, wound care referral tool, and prior authorization templates - The future of dermatology as lifestyle medicine Resources Mentioned: - https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-025-65789-7 - HS Foundation website & prior authorization templates: https://www.hs-foundation.org/ - HS Academy (free weekend for residents): https://www.hs-foundation.org/hs-academy - Integrative Dermatology Symposium: integrativedermatologysymposium.com - LearnSkin: learnskin.com This podcast is for educational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice. Always consult your healthcare provider. Key Takeaways: 1. Validate HS patients the moment they walk in. They've often been dismissed or bounced between providers for years. Simply saying "I understand what you're going through" builds trust immediately and makes the visit more productive. 2. The approved HS treatment arsenal is growing. Bimekizumab and secukinumab (IL-17 inhibitors) are now approved, and adalimumab — including biosimilars — remains a valuable option. Clinical experts are using biosimilars with confidence. 3. Subcutaneous infliximab is an emerging option. Available off-label in the US, new data from French centers shows a protocol: standard IV induction at weeks 0, 2, and 6, then switching to subcutaneous injections every two weeks at week 10 — but only once the patient is in strong remission. 4. Three major drugs are in or completing Phase 3 trials. Remibrutinib (BTK inhibitor, already approved for chronic spontaneous urticaria), povorcitinib (JAK1 inhibitor), and sonelokimab (a nanobody targeting IL-17A and IL-17F) are all reporting promising results and moving toward FDA application. 5. Nanobodies are a technology to watch. Derived from camelid antibody fragments, nanobodies like sonelokimab can be engineered to target multiple pathways simultaneously in a smaller, more modular molecule — expect to see them across dermatology. 6. Half-life extenders could mean one injection per year. Already emerging in psoriasis, these extended-dosing biologics are heading toward HS — a potential game-changer for patient adherence. 7. CAR T-cell therapy may one day cure inflammatory skin disease. Currently being studied in lupus and rheumatoid arthritis, the protocols are becoming more practical, and the technology is edging toward dermatology. 8. Microplastics may potentiate HS inflammation. A Nature Communications paper by Dr. Luis Garza (Hopkins) found that plastic-associated endocrine disruptors block nicastrin in fibroblasts, amplifying HS-related inflammation. This doesn't prove causation, but it reveals a meaningful environmental link — and highlights the underappreciated role of fibroblasts in HS scarring. 9. GLP-1s in HS: promising but not proven as monotherapy. There's no RCT yet. Dr. Levtov's clinical approach: stabilize HS with a biologic first, then consider adding a GLP-1 as part of a comprehensive plan that includes diet and resistance training. He has seen outcomes go both ways. 10. The HS Foundation is an underutilized resource. Their website offers a clinic finder, wound care referral service, prior authorization templates (one-click Word documents), research grants, the HS Academy (free, all-expenses-paid weekend for residents), and career development awards in partnership with the Dermatology Foundation.

A different kind of bar scene has grown across the Bay Area since the pandemic: listening bars. Derived from a tradition that took off in 1930s Tokyo, they're businesses that play high-fidelity music from vintage speakers. Reporter Nava Rawls went to find out if these special places made for listening are one-hit wonders… or here to stay.
The battlefield has changed — and according to Dr. Scott Perez, most people still don't fully understand how much pressure the human body is under in today's world. In this powerful conversation with Michael Jaco, Dr. Perez explains why modern life is creating an environment filled with chronic stress, toxic overload, weakened immunity, inflammation, and constant physical and psychological strain. From environmental exposure and poor nutrition to increasing biological stressors, many people are running on depleted systems without even realizing it. That's why the focus of this episode is simple:
Adam Hills, the biggest comedian to come out of the home of the Sydney Tramway Museum joins Harry to talk about everything from surviving a five-hour bladder-testing royal ceremony to why AI comedy routines are getting a little *too* good for comfort.We also take a deep, chaotic dive into British history with archaeologist Dr. Erin Lloyd-Jones to uncover the truth about William Wallace. Did he actually wear a kilt? Did he paint his face blue like Mel Gibson? And what exactly is a "sticky end"? (Warning: it involves a lot of tar ). Plus, introducing yet ANOTHER new game, "What is the Velcro Singing?" and check in with Gary's Joke Corner. "Adam Hills" by Wikipedia contributors, used under CC BY-SA 4.0.

In our latest episode, Steve Palmer and the team break down a headline-grabbing legal situation involving Nick Fuentes and the boundaries of self-defense at home.Key Topics CoveredDoxing & the Law: What is doxing, and is it a crime? We touch on the consequences and legal gray areas that follow sharing someone's private information online.Reasonable vs. Unreasonable Force: Steve Palmer discusses what the law actually permits when someone shows up at your door, and where Fuentes may have crossed the line (04:00).Deferred Prosecution & Diversion Explained: Confused about the difference between these alternatives to prosecution? Steve Palmer clearly outlines how these programs work, using Ohio law as an example (09:08 and 11:16).Civil Lawsuits After Criminal Cases: Even after criminal charges are resolved, civil cases can follow. We discuss damages, nuisance value, and when it makes sense to settle (19:20).Creative Lawyering: Sometimes, standard legal options aren't available, and good lawyers get creative to resolve cases favorably for their clients (29:40).What You'll LearnWhat is doxing (or doxxing)? - It is the act of publicly revealing private, personally identifiable information about someone online without their consent, often with malicious intent. Derived from "dropping docs (documents)," it aims to harass, intimidate, shame, or threaten victims by exposing details like home addresses, phone numbers, or private emails.The tricky thresholds for self-defense (and why simply being annoyed isn't enough).Why an apology or anger management class isn't always as straightforward as it sounds.The meaning of “nuisance value” and why some lawsuits settle regardless of their merits.Did You Know?Fuentes' case led to a deferred prosecution agreement that included restitution for the alleged victim's phone, an apology, anger management, and 75 hours of community service (13:28). Yet, the aftermath shows that legal issues often spill into civil court—where money, not just justice, takes the spotlight.Key Moments03:38 Dealing with public scrutiny09:08 Understanding diversion programs10:30 Understanding Ohio's diversion programs14:53 Using private counseling options18:50 Explaining assault and battery20:58 Discussing emotional distress in lawsuits24:25 Questioning injury severity27:27 Intervention in lieu of conviction29:40 Creative case resolution strategiesSubmit your questions to www.lawyertalkpodcast.com.Recorded at Channel 511.Stephen E.

Send us Fan MailWhat Does “Opus” Mean in Classical Music?What does “opus” mean when you see it in a classical music title?In this episode of The Classical Music Minute, we explore the meaning behind this common musical term. Derived from the Latin word for “work,” opus numbers are used to catalogue and organize a composer's compositions.Typically assigned in order of publication rather than composition, opus numbers help distinguish one piece from another—especially when composers wrote many works in the same genre.For example, Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata is listed as Op. 27, No. 2, indicating its place within a published set of works.While not all composers used opus numbers consistently, the term remains a helpful way to navigate the vast world of classical music.In just sixty seconds, discover how one simple word helps organize centuries of musical creativity.Fun FactSome composers, including Frédéric Chopin, were very selective about which works received opus numbers—often assigning them only to pieces they felt were worthy of publication, leaving many compositions unpublished or without a number.About The Classical Music MinuteThe Classical Music Minute is a short podcast exploring fascinating stories, quirky history, and surprising facts from the world of classical music—all in about sixty seconds.Each episode offers a quick and entertaining glimpse into composers, masterpieces, musical traditions, and the curious moments that shaped music history.You can also read the written versions of these episodes on Substack, where they're published as short articles delivered directly to subscribers.About Steven, HostSteven Hobé is a Canadian composer and actor based in Toronto and a member of the Canadian League of Composers.

What if AI isn't just a tool to plug into your business — but a reason to redesign the entire thing? In this episode, Jeff Mains sits down with Steven Wunker, managing director of New Markets Advisors and bestselling author of AI and the Octopus Organization: Building the Super Intelligent Firm. Steven has been working in AI since 2012 and has advised dozens of Fortune 500 companies on how to unlock real growth through transformation — not just optimization.Steven challenges the "AI magic dust" approach most companies default to — sprinkling AI on top of existing workflows for marginal gains — and makes the case for something far more powerful: using AI to take over entire classes of tasks, redistribute decision-making to the front lines, and redesign how organizations actually work. Whether you're a SaaS founder thinking about your product roadmap or a leader rethinking your org structure, this episode will challenge you to think way bigger.Key Takeaways4:13 — AI is the biggest shift of our lifetimes — bigger than smartphones Steve has been in AI since 2012 and helped launch one of the first smartphones in 1999. He says this is still bigger — not just in breadth of adoption, but in depth: changing strategies, org structures, and roles within companies.7:14 — Stop using AI as "magic dust" Sprinkling AI on top of existing workflows only yields marginal gains. The real transformation happens when AI takes over entire tasks that humans won't do (too tedious), shouldn't do (not the best use of their skills), or can't do (too high volume). That's when organizations must fundamentally rethink how work gets done.9:55 — The Octopus Organization: distributed intelligence in action The octopus has nine brains — one central brain and one in each arm. Each arm can sense, think, and act independently while remaining contextually aware of the whole. That biological model is the blueprint for how AI-powered organizations should be structured: parallel execution, distributed decision-making, and strategic focus at the center.11:25 — Why authority hasn't truly been devolved — and how AI finally changes that For 40 years, leaders have talked about flattening orgs and devolving decision-making. It hasn't happened for two reasons: humans resist giving up authority, and front-line workers have lacked the contextual awareness to make good autonomous decisions. AI solves the second problem — and also gives leaders visibility to veto in near real-time rather than always having to pre-approve.16:48 — Map the "work chart," not the org chart Microsoft calls it the "work chart" — how work actually flows through the organization, cross-functionally, in reality. That's what needs to be mapped and redesigned. Layering AI onto the org chart misses the point entirely. Change happens workflow by workflow, tranche by tranche.26:29 — Three questions every leader must answer right nowHow does the competitive landscape change? (Include DIY and AI-native startups)What makes you special in an AI world?How do you get work done — what behaviors, culture, and structure do you need?32:19 — Everyone in management is now a change manager It doesn't matter how technical your role is — if you have people reporting to you, you must become a change manager. That skill can no longer be confined to a C-suite priesthood. Psychological safety for AI adoption and rethinking how good work is incentivized are critical.32:58 — The LUCK framework for strategic serendipity Derived from workforce survey research, four patterns that separate successful AI adopters:L — Leverage help (stay connected, workflows are increasingly cross-functional)U — Unexpected connections (be open to signals outside the average case)C — Control chaos (build systems to absorb the disruption coming)K — Know what's missing (AI is only as good as its data; humans must fill the gaps)34:57 — Don't chase glamorous AI use cases first IBM's Watson failed spectacularly by targeting cancer diagnoses — the world's best oncologists didn't need it. The win? Recording doctor-patient conversations so doctors can actually practice medicine instead of typing. Low risk, high utility, high return. Start there.38:05 — The most valuable AI use cases are unglamorous Things humans won't do: take notes after every meeting and distribute them. Things humans shouldn't do: type during patient consultations. Things humans can't do: transcribe and summarize 40 simultaneous three-person breakout groups and track individual commitments. AI can do all of this — none of it is flashy, all of it is high-value.28:10 — Build in AI optionality from the start Upwork re-engineered their stack with an AI optionality layer — flexible to swap between small LLMs, large LLMs, agents, or other AI systems. You can't predict where AI goes. Build optionality in. Don't make bespoke bets you can't unwind.Tweetable Quotes"AI has this ability to take over certain tasks entirely — things humans wouldn't do, shouldn't do, or simply can't do at scale. That's when it gets truly transformative." — Steven Wunker"We've been talking about devolving authority and de-siloing organizations since 'In Search of Excellence' in the 1980s. It just hasn't happened. AI finally changes the equation." — Steven Wunker"The octopus is 300 million years old — 70 million years older than the dinosaurs — and it has survived because it is so darn adaptable. We need to be like that." — Steven Wunker"AI magic dust — sprinkling it on top of what you're currently doing — will get you marginal improvements. That's nice. But it won't fundamentally change how organizations work." — Steven Wunker"Don't be Adobe in the face of Figma. That has already played out. It would be very easy for that to play out again in innumerable SaaS markets unless we think transformatively." — Steven Wunker"Every person in any management position is now a change manager. It doesn't matter how specialized your technical skill is." — Steven Wunker"Features are only as good as their adoption." — Steven Wunker"AI is only as good as the data that's in it — so it's the role of the human to think about what's NOT in that AI system that needs to complete the picture." — Steven WunkerSaaS Leadership Lessons1. Redesign the work, don't just automate it. The companies that win with AI aren't the ones that add AI features — they're the ones that fundamentally rethink how work flows through the organization. Map your "work chart" (how work actually happens cross-functionally) and redesign it workflow by workflow. Layering AI on your existing org chart is the surest path to becoming the next Kmart.2. Your installed base is an asset — but only if you act transformatively. Existing SaaS companies have something AI startups don't: data, customer relationships, and deep domain context. That is an enormous advantage — but only if you think transformatively. AI-native disruptors are watching your market. Your data moat only protects you if you use it to reimagine what you build, not just improve what you have.3. Prioritize low-risk, high-utility AI use cases first. Resist the temptation to prove what AI can do with your most complex, high-stakes problem. Start where the utility is obvious and the risk is low. Prove value there. Build trust with customers and your team. Then expand. IBM's Watson at MD Anderson is a $62M cautionary tale. The doctor who gets to practice medicine instead of typing is the win.4. Build optionality into your AI architecture. You cannot predict where AI capabilities are heading. Large models, small models, agents, new paradigms — the landscape is shifting too fast to make permanent bets. Build your product and internal systems with an optionality layer that stays flexible. Businesses that hard-code their AI assumptions will face expensive rebuilds. Those who build for adaptability will compound their advantage.5. Transform your go-to-market alongside your product. AI transformation isn't just a product problem — it's a sales, marketing, and customer success problem. The companies that win aren't just selling software; they're selling a changed way of getting something done. That means customer success becomes more important, not less. Sales cycles involve more change management. Proving economic value requires new evidence. Think Workfront, not the feature-obsessed competitor it acquired.6. Make change management everyone's job. The old model — change management as a C-suite discipline — is dead. In an AI-first organization, every manager at every level must develop the skills to lead people through uncertainty, redesign workflows, and create psychological safety for new ways of working. If you're building or leading a SaaS company, start developing these muscles now — in your leaders, your managers, and yourself.Guest Resourcesswunker@newmarketsadvisors.comBook: AI and the Octopus Organization: Building the Super Intelligent Firm — Available on Amazon in all formats (print, ebook, audio)Book Website:

"Envy causes the body of Christ to attack itself by viewing a brother's blessing as a personal offense."Welcome to week two of our series, The Hygiene of My Heart. This week, Charlie Grimes explores the deceptive pathogen of Envy—the "auto-immune disorder of the soul." Just as a physical illness can cause the body to turn on its own healthy tissue, envy causes us to see a "neighbor" as an "enemy" and a brother's success as our own failure.In this message, we examine:The Pathogen of Perspective: How looking "sideways" at others blinds us to God's goodness in our own lives.The Warning Signs: Recognizing the "downcast face" and the "silent resentment" that rots the bones.The Cain and Abel Case Study: Understanding how comparison can lead to a total systemic collapse of our relationships.The Hygiene Protocol: Practical "antibiotics" for the heart, including specific confession, the "Vitamin C" of contentment, and the exercise of celebration.Stop measuring your "field" against your brother's "altar." Join us as we ask the Great Physician to reset our spiritual immune systems and replace the bitterness of comparison with the soundness of contentment.Scripture References:Galatians 5:25–26Genesis 4:1–8Matthew 20:15Proverbs 14:30About This Series:The Hygiene of My Heart is an eight-week journey into what it takes to get our hearts clean and keep them clean. Derived from the Greek word Hygies, we are seeking to be "sound, healthy, and whole" in our spiritual walk.

What if a drug could kill cancer cells broadly, spare the immune system and then train it to keep fighting, without triggering resistance? That's the promise behind the ELANE pathway, a mechanism discovered not from a hypothesis but from studying fundamental biology in patients. In this episode of the In Vivo Podcast, Court Turner, CEO and co-founder of Onchilles Pharma, and Lev Becker, CSO and scientific founder, discuss how a neutrophil elastase-based mechanism is being translated into N17350, a first-in-class intratumoral agent targeting solid tumours including head and neck, skin and breast cancers. With $40m raised, GMP manufacturing of thousands of clinical doses completed, a US IND approved, and a first-in-human study underway in Australia, Onchilles is moving from "stubborn optimism" to clinical execution. Court and Lev discuss the dual mechanism that sets N17350 apart from both traditional chemotherapy and immunotherapy, why histone H1 functions as a universal tumour vulnerability rather than a conventional biomarker, and how they're thinking about combinations, partnering and the eventual value story for payers.

This episode explores an exciting new way the immune system can be supported using tiny messengers released by natural killer immune cells. These messengers help the body's built-in defense system better spot and remove harmful or worn-out "zombie" cells that drive inflammation and speed up aging. The core idea is simple: help the immune system do its job more effectively, without harming healthy cells. It's cutting-edge science explained in plain language, with big implications for long-term health and resilience.

Extractivism—exploiting the earth for resources—has long driven racial capitalism and colonialism. And yet, how does extractivism operate in a world where ecological and humanitarian sensibilities are unprecedentedly widespread? Eray Çaylı argues it does so by mobilizing these sensibilities in new ways. Extractivism is no longer only about moving the earth—displacing peoples, fossils, minerals, and waters—but also leaving those who witness this violent displacement sentimentally moved. Earthmoving: Extractivism, War, and Visuality in Northern Kurdistan (U Texas Press, 2025) conceptualizes this duality. Derived from Çaylı's years-long work in Northern Kurdistan, home to the world's largest stateless nation—rendered stateless by colonial policies since the nineteenth century—Earthmoving focuses on the 2010s, a decade that began with peace talks between Turkey and the Kurdish liberation movement but ended with war. The decade saw extractivism intensify in the region and images of its harm proliferate across art and media. Together with contemporary artists, Çaylı shows that images challenge extractivism both by making its harm visible and by fostering self-reflexive and reciprocal collaboration that breaks with its valuation of the colonized and the racialized only in quantifiable and marketable terms. Host: Ronay Bakan is a Max Weber Postdoctoral Fellow at European University Institute, in Italy. Her research interests include political geography, mobilization, and counterinsurgency in Southwest Asia and North Africa with a special focus on Northern Kurdistan. She is currently working on her book titled “Counterinsurgent Urbanism: Weaponizing Land and Heritage in Northern Kurdistan.” Email: ronay.bakan@eui.eu Learn more about your ad choices.

What if gravity is just entropy in disguise? Professor Erik Verlinde joins me to argue that gravity isn't a fundamental force—it's thermodynamic, emerging from quantum information the way gas pressure emerges from molecules bouncing around. We explore why spacetime may be stitched together by entanglement, and how dark energy and dark matter both pop out automatically without extra particles or parameters. Verlinde explains why the cosmological constant problem is a red herring, and why there may be no final theory of physics. When asked where the universe comes from, his answer is one word: chaos.

Exosomes are becoming one of the most talked-about tools in regenerative medicine, but not all exosomes are created equal. In this episode of New Frontiers, Dr. Kara Fitzgerald talks with Alisa Lask, CEO of Plated Skin, about the science behind platelet-derived exosomes and why their signaling pathways matter for repair, renewal, and changes in skin appearance. We explore how discoveries in cardiology led to this technology, what early clinical studies are showing, and why source and preparation are critical when evaluating any exosome-based approach. A clear, grounded look at a fast-moving field for clinicians who want to understand what's real, what's emerging, and what deserves attention next. Full show notes + references: https://www.drkarafitzgerald.com/fxmed-podcast/ GUEST DETAILS Alisa Lask is the CEO of Rion Aesthetics, where she is driving innovation in regenerative aesthetics with platelet-derived exosomes and leading research in areas like hair restoration and skin appearance. She also oversees (plated)™ Skin Science, a medical-grade exosome skincare line distributed through aesthetic providers. Alisa previously held senior roles at Galderma, Allergan, Zimmer-Biomet, and Eli Lilly, and she serves on the Board of Directors for CollPlant. She holds an MBA from the University of Michigan and is also a nationally competitive show-jumping equestrian involved in dog rescue initiatives. THANKS TO OUR SPONSOR (plated)™ Skin Science: http://platedskinscience.com/ Plated Skin Science translates the discovery of Dr. Atta Behfar, M.D., Ph.D., Director of Mayo Clinic's Van Cleve Cardiac Regenerative Medicine Program into the first shelf-stable skincare line using regenerative, platelet-derived exosomes. These aren't generic exosomes; they're a specific class shown in peer-reviewed trials to regenerate skin's appearance by improving the look of wrinkles, pigmentation, luminosity, and overall skin quality. It's an elegant approach to visible signs of skin aging, recognized by Time as a Best Invention of 2024 and now used in more than 2,000 medical practices.

War Gaming a Russian Invasion of Estonia: NATO's Article 5 Crisis — General Blaine Holt — General Holtdiscusses a scenario derived from Carlo Masala's book If Russia Wins, depicting Russian military seizure of the Estonian town of Narva in 2028 using ambiguous hybrid tactics. Holt emphasizes that this scenario exposes NATO'sfundamental bureaucratic paralysis, organizational hesitation to invoke Article 5 collective defense provisions, and the catastrophic risk of nuclear miscalculation when confronting strategically ambiguous Russian aggression that blurs the distinction between conventional military action and state-sponsored covert operations. 1927 POLAND
