Podcasts about DSC

When a child is critically ill and answers are elusive, every day can feel like an eternity. This week on Tomorrow's Cure from Mayo Clinic, host Cathy Wurzer talks with pediatric geneticist Whitney Thompson, M.D., from Mayo Clinic, genomic medicine pioneer Stephen Kingsmore, M.D., DSc, from Rady Children's Institute for Genomic Medicine, and Sean George, Ph.D., CEO of Inflection Medicine, about how rapid whole genome sequencing is transforming care for the youngest patients. Together, they explore how clinicians are shortening the “diagnostic odyssey,” pairing sequencing with artificial intelligence to identify potential treatments, and redefining what is possible for rare diseases through programs like Mayo Clinic Children's BabyFORce. You will also hear powerful patient stories, including children whose lives changed after a genomic diagnosis opened the door to targeted therapies, and a candid discussion about cost, access, and ethics as this technology moves toward wider adoption. Tune in to learn how today's breakthroughs in pediatric genomics could shape the future of medicine for all of us.

Send a textTwo country boys hit Atlanta for the Dallas Safari Club Expo and come home with a year's worth of stories, hard-won tips, and new friends from across the hunting world. We start with a chaotic travel day—dead battery on the plane, a tarmac standoff, and a near-miss at a crosswalk—then step into the Georgia World Congress Center and realize just how big DSC really is. With more than 1,300 booths and outfitters from over 43 countries, it's a living map of global hunting, conservation, and gear innovation.We meet TV icons Ralph and Vicki from Archer's Choice, shake hands with Mr. Whitetail himself, Larry Weishuhn, and connect with DSC leadership on why the show's funding model matters: grants for habitat, education, and anti-poaching. A South African outfitter lays out Botswana's elephant math—land that can carry around 75,000 elephants now holds more than 150,000—making a clear case for science-based management. On the North American front, an Alaskan captain opens our eyes to a sleeper DIY blacktail hunt in the panhandle with accessible tags and high densities.Seminars deliver real field value. Dan Adler's glassing masterclass shows how scanning right to left slows your brain and helps you catch the small, wrong-shaped details that give animals away. We get a primer on long-range thinking, then pivot to Craig Boddington's Cape buffalo insights—angles, bullets, and the look that says you “owe it money.” The floor itself is a wonder: jaw-dropping taxidermy, museum-quality replicas for restricted imports, premium optics, Kenetrek boots, Holland & Holland and Rigby, and a $238,000 double in .700 Nitro that we admired more than we dared handle. Add Ox Ranch's tanks and machine guns, plus the history and scale of King Ranch, and the spectrum from tradition to adrenaline comes into focus.The curveball? A late-night wander through a locked-down film set where Tulsa King shoots under cranes and fog. We watch the same scene run a dozen times, then a blacked-out van glides by with the cabin light on and Sylvester Stallone five feet away—scrolling, smoking, and still larger than life. We leave with future podcast guests booked, better glassing habits, and new perspective on how conservation, community, and adventure intersect.If you enjoyed this story-packed ride, follow the show, share it with a friend, and drop a quick rating or review—your support helps us bring more experts and epic hunts to your feed.Check us out on Facebook Hunts On Outfitting, or myself Ken Marr.

In this engaging episode of DSC's Campfires, Larry Weishuhn sits down with special guest Jerry Baker for a wide-ranging and thoughtful conversation centered around hunting, conservation, and the deeper meaning behind the outdoor lifestyle. Around the campfire, Larry and Jerry reflect on: The formative experiences that shaped Jerry's passion for hunting and the outdoors The values of ethical sportsmanship and responsible land stewardship The importance of conservation and preserving wildlife resources for future generations Stories from the field that highlight both challenge and triumph The evolving landscape of hunting culture in modern America Throughout the discussion, Jerry shares personal insights and practical wisdom drawn from years of experience in the outdoors. The conversation moves beyond tactics and gear, focusing instead on legacy, mentorship, and the responsibility hunters carry as ambassadors for conservation. As always, Larry weaves in thoughtful perspective, connecting Jerry's experiences to the broader mission of education, advocacy, and wildlife stewardship championed by DSC.

Mentorship plays a vital role in sustaining ethical outdoor traditions. The campfire remains a powerful place for storytelling, learning, and passing down values. This episode is a meaningful reminder that the outdoor lifestyle is built on integrity, respect for wildlife, and a commitment to preserving the natural world for generations to come.

In this episode, Etienne Nichols sits down with Thor Rollins, a leader at Nelson Labs and the convener of the committee revising ISO 10993-1. The conversation centers on the newest 2025 version of the standard, which represents a massive philosophical shift from a "checkbox" testing mentality to a rigorous, risk-based approach aligned with ISO 14971.Rollins explains that modern medical devices are far more complex than the metal and hard plastics of the past. With the rise of degradable materials, coatings, and nanomaterials, traditional animal testing often fails to provide the best science. The new standard introduces critical concepts such as biological risk estimation, foreseeable misuse, and a comprehensive lifecycle evaluation that looks beyond "time zero" safety.The duo also discusses the practical implications for manufacturers, including the controversial requirement to evaluate biocompatibility at the end of a product's lifecycle—a particular challenge for reprocessed devices. Rollins provides insider knowledge on the US's stance on the revision, the timeline for FDA recognition, and how companies can leverage biological equivalence to potentially reduce their testing burden.Key Timestamps01:45 – The shift from "checkboxing" to a risk-based approach.03:10 – The rapid timeline of the 2025 revision and the influence of ISO 14971.04:22 – Lifecycle Evaluation: Assessing safety beyond the "brand new" state.06:50 – Chronic toxicity vs. acute reactions: Why front-end evaluation matters.08:15 – Foreseeable Misuse: When doctors use scopes outside their intended anatomy.12:10 – The concept of Bioequivalence: Using existing data to justify reduced testing.13:45 – Breakthrough: The removal of material-mediated pyrogenicity testing for known materials.15:30 – Why the US voted "No" on the current draft: A call for better guidance.18:50 – Notified Bodies and MDR: The 2025 version as "State of the Art."21:15 – Practical chemistry tests for aging polymers (DSC, GPC, FTIR).25:40 – Advice for small vs. large companies on building material databases.Quotes"The testing that we developed back in the 50s and 60s actually doesn't really work the best with some of these complex devices... we've been moving the standard away from what we call checkboxing." - Thor Rollins"I only say that expensive tests always impact innovation. We don't want to over-test, but we want to do the right tests." - Thor RollinsTakeawaysLifecycle is the New Frontier: You must now evaluate biocompatibility throughout the product's life, especially for reprocessed devices that

How do you separate legit African safari outfitters from salesmen at hunting conventions like SCI and Dallas Safari Club? In this episode, we break down the three most important questions every hunter must ask before booking an African hunting safari: 1️⃣ How big is the property you hunt? 2️⃣ How many hunters do you take at one time? 3️⃣ What's a realistic starter package for a first-time Africa hunter? These questions reveal hunting pressure, ethics, experience quality, and honesty — without relying on marketing brochures or trophy photos. We explain: Why property size matters more than trophy lists How hunter-to-PH ratios affect your actual hunting experience What a good first African safari package really looks like Common mistakes first-time Africa hunters make Red flags to watch for when speaking to safari exhibitors What ethical, sustainable African hunting looks like on the ground Whether you're planning your first plains game safari, comparing African outfitters, or attending SCI or DSC to book a hunt, this episode gives you practical, real-world advice from inside the African hunting industry.  

In this episode, recorded in the rugged beauty of West Texas, Larry Weishuhn is joined by a true icon of the outdoor industry: Fred Eichler. Known for his boundless energy and his show Everything Eichler, Fred sits down at the campfire to discuss the evolution of hunting, from traditional archery to the rise of technology. The two legends swap compliments and stories, discussing the art of getting close to game—whether with a recurve bow or a handgun—and the vital importance of "woodsmanship" in the modern era. The conversation concludes with a strong message about unity among hunters, the importance of firearms safety education, and the necessity of the NRA. [00:00] Intro & Sponsors: Larry welcomes listeners back to camp in West Texas. [01:15] Legends Collide: Fred and Larry discuss their mutual respect. Fred shares how Larry's writing and TV presence influenced him growing up, viewing Larry as the "Whitetail Guru." [03:30] The Evolution of a Hunter: Fred talks about starting with shotguns and .22s under his father's guidance before gravitating toward bowhunting for the challenge. [05:45] Handguns vs. Bows: A comparison of short-range hunting methods. Fred expresses his admiration for Larry's proficiency with a handgun, noting that it requires the same stalking skills as archery. [08:00] Woodsmanship: Larry laments the shift from relying on instinct ("what's between the ears") to relying on technology ("fingertips"), and the importance of knowing how to navigate the wild without GPS. [12:20] The Africa Connection: How Larry inspired Fred's dreams of hunting Africa. They share a laugh about the "weird stuff" they've eaten in bush camps, from snakes to "little dickey birds." [14:45] The Second Amendment: A serious look at the role of the NRA. Fred emphasizes that the NRA is the most significant organization protecting gun rights and stresses the importance of safety education for children. [18:00] Unity in the Field: The need for all gun owners—whether they hunt with bows, rifles, or handguns—to belong to the NRA to protect the future of the lifestyle. "I hate to say 'growing up,' but watching you handle yourself on TV, your articles, your books... you backed it with knowledge." — Fred Eichler to Larry Weishuhn "Years ago, we took what you had between this ear and this ear, and that's what you used. Now... we've put it at fingertips. Somewhere down the way, those buttons are not going to work." — Larry Weishuhn on modern technology vs. woodsmanship "A firearm has never hurt anybody... until it gets into somebody's hands and they determine what they're going to do with it." — Fred Eichler "The finest people in the world are out there, those who love the outdoors." — Larry Weishuhn This episode is brought to you by: DSC (Dallas Safari Club): Conservation, Education, and Advocacy.

In this episode, Larry Weishuhn sits down in the wilds of West Texas with Jeff Johnston of the NRA and American Hunter. Recorded on a sprawling 40,000-acre cattle ranch near the Mexican border, the two discuss the unique challenges of hunting the "fan-tailed" Carmen Mountain Whitetail in the high desert. Larry and Jeff swap stories about the rugged terrain, the necessity of quality optics, and the diverse wildlife of the Chihuahuan Desert. The conversation then turns to a passionate discussion about the vital importance of the Second Amendment, the role of the NRA, and why unity among gun owners is critical for the future of the United States. [00:00] Intro & Sponsors: Larry introduces the show from the high-elevation desert of West Texas. [02:00] The Landscape: Discussing the "spine-filled" vegetation and diverse wildlife of the Chihuahuan Desert (Javelina, Mule Deer, Elk, Black Bear, and Quail). [04:15] The Carmen Mountain Whitetail: Larry explains the biology of this unique subspecies—smaller than a Coues deer but with a tail the size of a standard whitetail. [06:30] Hunting Stories: Jeff recounts his successful hunt and Larry jokes about "double drop tines." Mentions of Fred Eichler's success in camp. [09:45] Tactics & Gear: The importance of "glassing" in vast country. Discussion on optics (Stealth Vision), rifles, and the necessity of flat-shooting calibers (.270, 7x57, 6.5) and accurate ammo (Hornady). [14:20] The Second Amendment: A serious pivot to the state of gun rights. Larry emphasizes why the 2nd Amendment is the backbone of American freedom. [16:00] The NRA's Role: Why the NRA remains the strongest lobbying organization due to its membership base, not just money. [18:30] Call to Action: Larry urges listeners to write handwritten letters to legislators and maintain membership in gun rights organizations. [21:00] What's Next: Larry discusses his upcoming hunts in Oklahoma and Texas. "Everything here, for the most part, has got spines, stickers... if you look at our hands, you can probably see all the scratches." — Larry Weishuhn "To me, anything that scores 85 or better is one heck of a deer." — Larry Weishuhn on the Carmen Mountain Whitetail "Without the Second Amendment and our ability to own guns, this country will not exist in a relatively short period of time." — Larry Weishuhn This episode is brought to you by: DSC (Dallas Safari Club): Conservation, Education, and Advocacy.

On this week's podcast, I speak with former Australian Special Forces Special Air Services Regiment Commanding Officer Colonel ret Paul Burns DSC & Bar. Paul served as both a soldier and an officer in the Australian Defence Force for 25 years, with operational tours to Bosnia, Afghanistan and Iraq. During his service, he commanded 1 SAS Squadron in the Western Desert during the invasion of Iraq and was tasked with a mission of vital strategic importance, for which he was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross (DSC) and Australia's first Unit Citation for Gallantry. From 2009, he commanded the Special Air Service Regiment (SASR), Australia's most elite Special Forces unit, tasked with solving the Australian government's most urgent, politically sensitive and dangerous situations within Australia and overseas. In 2010, he commanded all of Australia's Special Forces in Afghanistan and executed an operational plan that resulted in the liberation of over 30,000 Afghan civilians from Taliban control, and the removal of numerous very senior Taliban leaders, for which he received a Bar to the DSC. His rotation was awarded a Battle Honour for the Shah Wali Kot Offensive, the first and only since the Vietnam War. Paul is an honour graduate of the United States Marine Corps School of Advanced Warfighting (SAW) and holds two Master's degrees. In 2012, Paul discharged from the Army after 25 years of service. Paul is currently the owner of several companies that provide immersive live fire shooting capabilities, immersive training solutions and strategic security services for Australian and international customers. He is also the founder of Heroes and Horses Australia, a 41-day program for combat veterans that "un-programs the programmed" post military service. Paul is married with two adult children.

This episode of DSC's Campfire features host Larry Weishuhn joined by returning guest Craig Archer and wildlife biologist Cyle Foley. Recorded in a hunting camp in the Rolling Plains of Texas, the trio dives deep into the science and strategy behind successful wildlife management. The Role of a Biologist: Cyle Foley explains his role as a consulting wildlife biologist. He emphasizes that effective management starts with knowing what you have. He conducts helicopter surveys to count populations, determining buck-to-doe ratios and fawn crops to set accurate harvest quotas. The group discusses the importance of the "management team"—the landowner, the land manager (Craig), and the biologist (Cyle) working in unison to achieve property goals. Deer Management Philosophy: "Age is King": Cyle stresses that age is the most critical factor in producing big deer. A buck needs to reach maturity (5-6 years old) to express his full potential. Nutrition is Queen: Once age is established, nutrition is the next limiting factor. If a deer has age and food, the antlers will follow. Genetics is the Joker: They agree that in a low-fence, free-range environment, you cannot effectively manage genetics. Culling "inferior" bucks generally doesn't work because you can't control the doe's genetic contribution. The Quail Equation: The Rolling Plains is famous for quail, but populations are volatile ("boom or bust"). Cyle explains that while rain is essential, timing is everything. Rain is needed to grow forbs (weeds), which attract insects. Quail chicks require a diet of almost 100% insects for the first few weeks of life to survive. Without "bugging grounds," the chicks starve even if the habitat looks green. Habitat Restoration: They discuss the use of prescribed fire and mechanical clearing (grubbing) to restore grasslands. The goal is to create a mosaic of cover and open space that benefits both deer and quail. Cyle's Background: A graduate of Texas Tech University, Cyle started his own consulting business to help landowners across Texas. He values the relationship with practical managers like Craig who can implement the scientific recommendations effectively on the ground. "You can't manage what you don't know you have." — Cyle Foley (on the necessity of accurate wildlife surveys) Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this episode of DSC's Campfire, host Larry Weishuhn sits down with Craig Archer to explore the nuances of woodmanship, wildlife management, and the "lost art" of tracking animals after a shot. Reading the Signs: Archer emphasizes that modern hunters often focus on the shot but neglect the critical signs that follow. He stresses observing how an animal reacts—whether it "kicked up its back end," "humped up in the middle," or "stumbled"—to determine the shot's placement. The Tracking Process: Archer advises hunters to stay in their blinds after a shot to observe and wait rather than rushing to look for the animal. This patience prevents hunters from inadvertently destroying a blood trail by stepping on it. Environmental Factors: The duo discusses how local terrain, such as the "sandy shinnery" country of Texas, affects tracking. In sandy soil, blood may form "balls" that aren't immediately recognizable, and heavy fat content in well-fed deer can quickly plug exit wounds, minimizing external bleeding. Property Management: Archer shares his management philosophy for his low-fence operation, which includes: Natural Diet: Avoiding protein supplements in favor of a natural habitat supported by rotational cattle grazing. Water Distribution: Strategically placing water troughs to spread livestock and wildlife across the property, preventing overgrazing near a single source. Collaboration: Working closely with biologists to manage population density and "buck-to-doe ratios". Hunting Ethics: They underscore the importance of sighting in rifles before a hunt, noting that even high-quality optics can be knocked out of alignment during travel. Ensuring an accurate shot is a fundamental responsibility to the animal. Craig Archer is a professional outfitter and land manager with over 17 years of experience in the Lubbock, Texas area. His operation maintains a near 100% success rate for mature animals by strictly managing hunting pressure and maintaining "sanctuaries" near water sources where rifle hunting is prohibited.

In this episode of The Voices of War, Maz speaks with Brigadier (Ret.) Dan Fortune, DSC and Bar, a retired SASR commander and one of Australia's most decorated special operations officers, reflecting on leadership, accountability, and the human cost of Australia's war in Afghanistan. Dan served extensively within SASR Sabre Squadrons as both an enlisted operator and later a commissioned officer. His career includes multiple combat deployments to Afghanistan, senior targeting and command roles, counter-terrorism operations, combat freefall missions, and leadership appointments within Australian and NATO Special Operations Task Groups. He also served alongside US Tier One special forces and commanded the ADF Tactical Assault Group during the Sydney Olympics. Building on themes raised in the award-winning documentary Bravery and Betrayal and Episode 1 on this topic with Vando and Brett, this conversation explores the effects of relentless operational tempo, repeated rotations, and prolonged exposure to violence on moral judgement and decision-making. Dan discusses how cultural mismatch and partner force dynamics shaped operational realities on the ground, including green-on-blue incidents and force protection failures. The episode examines the conduct and consequences of the IGADF and Brereton processes, including findings later characterised by the Royal Commission as ‘weaponised injustice'. Dan reflects on how bureaucratic risk aversion, strategic distance, and institutional self-protection displaced accountability downward, leaving tactical operators to absorb blame, reputational damage, and long-term moral injury. Rather than focusing on individual wrongdoing, this episode interrogates systems: how wars are managed from afar, how leadership decisions cascade, and how justice, recognition, and responsibility are applied after conflict. It offers a sober, first-hand perspective on command, culture, and the enduring costs of a war of choice. Key Moments: DSC and Bar SASR commander reveals moral compass shift in combat Civilian casualties & how tolerance hardened over deployments Fat Lady's Arms hypocrisy: PMs drank, troops demonized IGADF as weaponized injustice - Royal Commission critique Green-on-blue murders & partner force cultural clashes O6 and below values vs One Star and above interests: Leadership cowardice exposed Healing through truth: Veteran recognition & future lessons

To close out 2025, I'd like to revisit a critical aspect that's being ignored – the economy itself. Ken Webster is a leading thinker in the circular economy field, and one of his many roles is with Earth4All, where he has been exploring the benefits of a Universal Basic Dividend. Ken and Catherine discussed this, and more aspects of circularity at an economic level back in 2023, and it's highly relevant today, as the challenges we face loom larger. Catherine says: Ken Webster is one of my circular economy heroes, and is widely acknowledged as one of the foremost thinkers in the field. From 2010 – 2018, Ken was Head of Innovation for the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, shaping current concepts of a ‘circular economy'.. Ken also co-wrote the book that first opened my eyes to the circular economy back in 2011 – Sense and Sustainability, co-written with Craig Johnson. One of Ken's best-known books, The Circular Economy: A Wealth of Flows, relates the connections between systems thinking, economic and business opportunity and the transition to a circular economy. I'm very keen to read one of Ken's most recent books, co-written with Alex Duff. Ken and Alex use a storytelling approach based on the The Wonderful Wizard of Oz to offer a new and compelling narrative about the future direction of our economy, calling for macro-economic system redesign. It's called The Wonderful Circles of Oz: A Circular Economy Story – you'll find links in the shownotes. Ken's written several more thought-provoking works on the circular economy, including ABC+D: Creating a Regenerative Circular Economy for All – also co-written with Craig Johnson, and we mention some of these as we go along. This was a wide-ranging conversation about system-scale issues and concepts. I tried my best to keep up with Ken's thinking as we explored some of the big ideas he has been working on, including: A Universal Basic Dividend – not to be confused with UBI, or Universal Basic Income. We discuss why a Universal Basic Dividend would be a good thing, how it would be funded and where the money would flow to. We move onto The Commons – what that really means, and how it could be better accommodated in our modern economies, in a meaningful and sustainable way. Ken talks about the rentier economy, and rentiers. If you're not familiar with that term, it's someone who earns income from capital without working – for example by owning property or land that is rented out to tenants; by owning shares or bonds that pay dividends or interest, and so on. We discuss why the economy isn't working for the vast majority of people around the world, and what's getting in the way of an ‘economy for all'. We talk about some of the signals for change, with people are starting to see the potential of a future with community, connection and caring – caring for each other, and for our Mother Earth. The potential of a future that's not all about ‘Work, Buy, Consume, Die'. I've split our conversation into two parts – the 2nd part is available here: 119 Bonus Ken Webster: the circular ECONOMY! Part 2 International speaker, author and strategic advisor, Catherine Weetman helps people discover why circular, regenerative and fair solutions are better for people, planet – and prosperity.

Send us a textMethods & challenges of establishing causal relationships in health research, emphasizing epidemiology, randomized trials, and genetic approaches.Topics:Epidemiology: Studies disease influences using observational designs like case-control and prospective cohorts, plus trials, to identify patterns and test hypotheses.Hierarchy of evidence critique: Rejects rigid pyramids favoring RCTs, as all studies can be biased; advocates triangulation integrating varied data types for robust conclusions.RCT strengths & weaknesses: Randomization balances confounders, but issues like poor blinding, attrition, or subversion can undermine results; large samples may yield spurious precision if biased.Confounding & reverse causation: Examples include yellow fingers and lung cancer (both from smoking) or early atherosclerosis inflating CRP-disease links; hard to fully control statistically.Nutrition epidemiology: Observational studies often overstate benefits (e.g., vitamin E for heart disease), leading to failed trials; incentives favor new findings over revisiting errors.Mendelian randomization: Uses genetic variants as proxies for exposures (e.g., ALDH2 for alcohol metabolism) to mimic randomization; reveals no heart benefits from alcohol, unlike observational data.Negative controls: Tests implausible outcomes (e.g., smoking and murder) or exposures (e.g., paternal smoking in pregnancy) to check for confounding artifacts.Evidence triangulation: Combines diverse studies with different biases (e.g., cross-cultural comparisons) for causality; applied to dismiss HDL-raising drugs despite initial promise.Practical Takeaways:Scrutinize health claims by checking for negative controls or variety in evidence sources to avoid mistaking correlation for causation.For personal decisions like alcohol intake, consider genetic studies showing risks at all levels, and aim for moderation or abstinence based on overall evidence.When evaluating supplements or diets, prioritize trials over observational data, and question media hype that ignores confounding factors.About the guest: Dr. George Davey Smith, MD, DSc is a professor of clinical epidemiology at the University of Bristol and director of the MRC Integrative Epidemiology Unit.*Not medical advice.Support the showAffiliates: Lumen device to optimize your metabolism for weight loss or athletic performance.
