In today's VETgirl online veterinary continuing education podcast, we're talking about the new veterinary sepsis definitions. Having clear definitions is crucial in making sure we're talking about the same type and severity of disease. Until now, our veterinary sepsis definitions have been largely adapted from human medicine. But let's be honest, our patients who have a talent for hiding illness don't always follow the same rules as humans. Having veterinary-specific definitions gives researchers a more consistent way to compare patients and studies, while giving clinicians a stronger foundation for recognizing sepsis, assessing illness severity, and shaping both today and tomorrow’s treatment recommendations.
Today on AOTA Shorts: A group of families and education advocates in Massachusetts join a growing number of lawsuits challenging school segregation across the country. Since the landmark Brown v. Board of Education decision in 1954, America begrudgingly inched forward in its efforts to integrate public schools, and then almost immediately began backtracking on that promise systematically. Today schools are more segregated than they've been in decades, and with entrenched racial housing patterns, and a federal government that has weaponized the civil rights infrastructure against us, the problem is clear, but the solutions are not. What did we gain and lose in the era following Brown? And what lessons should we learn in this renewed fight against segregation?

In today's VETgirl online veterinary continuing education podcast, we focus on an often forgotten, but still vital, electrolyte in the management of congestive heart failure (CHF): chloride. Sodium and potassium tend to steal the electrolyte spotlight, while chloride is over there quietly waiting for someone to notice. But perhaps that is about to change…To help us better appreciate the importance of chloride's role in our felines with congestive heart failure, we will be reviewing a 2025 article by Lavigne et al. entitled, “Hypochloremia is negatively associated with outcomes in cats with stable congestive heart failure.”
Today on AOTA Shorts: Citing a lack of evidence showing any systemic pattern of antisemitism, a federal judge dismissed a Trump admin lawsuit against Harvard University. This is the latest in a growing number of legal losses the administration and its allies are experiencing as legal scrutiny is applied to their weaponized allegations of antisemitism, their fascist attempts to constrain free speech and suppress ideas they don't like, and their manufactured hysteria about DEI. It's one step in the right direction, with many more steps to go to undo the chilling effects of their policy agenda in higher education.

This Week: Turns out if you invest resources equitably to meet the needs of students and communities who have been systematically underserved, you do see results. Shocker. In Los Angeles, the district's Black Student Achievement Plan has faced racist legal challenges and the doom of an impending budget crisis. And yet, state test scores show the achievement gap for Black students is shrinking. And, in Texas a group of faculty have sued the Texas A&M System over a dystopian policy banning “advocacy” of race and gender ideology, whatever the hell that even means. The policy, which is a clear example of censorship, and a flagrant violation of first amendment rights, is now facing legal challenges by faculty who have faced rejection of courses, censorship of texts and topics, and even cancellation of a course already in session. Wild times, and hopefully more good news coming from the courts soon. Manuel and Jeff discuss!All of the Above was named #30 on the Best 100 Education Podcasts in the US by MillionPodcasts.com.

This Week: There's a lot going on… and it's a hot mess. Tuskegee University, one of the pillars of HBCUs in America, announces a new dress code that prevents students from wearing things like duy-rags, bonnets, and bedroom shoes in classes, dining halls, and other academic settings. The administration says it's part of the school's “responsibility to prepare its students for professional environments after graduation.” A small school district in Western NY state, serving an Indian reservation community, aborts a plan to use life-like, AI powered robots in the classroom, built by a company best known for making sex robots. Sadly, you read that correctly. And, Arizona State University announces a new major focused on helping people become social media influencers. Is it just an institutional money grab, or a legit path to a career in a massive industry? Manuel and Jeff discuss!

This Week: A superintendent in Massachusetts has put out a fascinating take on a revision to the ubiquitous Bloom's Taxonomy, the helpful tool which has defined orders of thinking for decades in education. In the age of AI, he claims, the hierarchical nature of Bloom's no longer reflects the more complex arc of thinking students will do in a world where humans think with AI. It's an interesting take, and solidly sidesteps all of the most perilous ramifications of the rush to bring AI into the classroom. Plus, the confederates in charge of the federal government made it official this week. The US Dept of Education will no longer use “disparate impact” as criteria for holding state, districts, or schools accountable for compliance with the Title XI of the Civil RIghts Act of 1964, effectively gutting the landmark legislation. Now, short of having a smoking gun, or video evidence of officials spewing epithets, it will be virtually impossible for plaintiffs to seek federal relief from systemically racist practices in America's schools.

This Week: The Romeo Community School District in Michigan has issued educators a list of 32 phrases that are pre approved for us on classroom posters. The phrases are, perhaps excruciatingly, unoffensive. Classics like: be yourself, you belong here, you matter, and lift others up, make the list. But, not coincidentally, absent from the list are any phrases making note of any identity markers, or that have become synonymous with movements for LGBTQ visibility in schools. The district claims this policy, which would require teachers to go through 4 layers of committee and district approval before using other language on posters, is about consistency across classrooms and ensuring “political” content doesn't take away from the approved curriculum. Parents and teachers know better. Also, new data shows there has been a massive drop in perceptions of confidence in American colleges and universities. What does this data mean? Where is it coming from? And where do we go from here? Manuel and Jeff discuss! All of the Above was named #30 on the Best 100 Education Podcasts in the US by MillionPodcasts.com.

Today on AOTA Shorts: The price of housing has grown so astronomical in some parts of the country, like much of California, that districts are turning to a strategy of building their own housing in an effort to attract and retain teachers. Also, in some areas, community groups are organizing to solve this problem internally. In places like the Bay Area where a 1 bedroom apartment can cost $3500/month or more, having access to more affordable housing can be an important lifeline for educators and other public employees. But, who wants to live at work, so to speak? And what does this mean for the long term sustainability of a housing market that excludes almost everyone, including educators who can't even afford to live where they teach?

Today on AOTA Shorts: As America turns 250 years old, the cold ripple effect of the right wing ascension in American politics is being felt in classrooms across the country, with more than 6 in 10 teachers worrying about the possible ramifications of teaching the truth about American history. Despite this hostile climate, and the potential threats they face, educators persist with bringing the important, critical questions about this nation to the classroom for discussion. In some ways, it's a shame this milestone happens at a time of year when classrooms are shuttered, and students are left to navigate a chaotic realm of public discourse that will surely be filled with too much misinformation, hate, and propaganda. Today we share a few of our own thoughts about what America 250 means for social studies teachers, and what it should mean for everyone.

Today on AOTA Shorts: For those in the AOTA family with kids, this comes as no surprise, but the process of finding good summer care for children can be cumbersome to navigate, unnecessarily complex, and insanely expensive. A new piece in the 19th profiles American moms who handle these complex arrangements for their children, and the real costs of providing summer care. It reveals the extent to which families are burdened, and children receive vastly unequal access to enrichment, learning, and meaningful developmental experiences over the summer months. And even though this is outside of the purview of school, the effects ripple well into the school year.

This Week: In what can only be understood as a shocker, new survey data shows the vast majority of Americans of nearly all demographic groups support undocumented students having access to public education. With some variation across groups, this goes for all ages, races, and even religious groups. In fact the only group that had less than 50% agreement with this idea was Trump voters, which I mean, is what it is. Does this mean there's hope for a sensible and moral path forward on this issue? Also, it turns out that in Califormia's community college system -- the largest higher ed system in the nation serving over 2M students -- nearly 40% of classes are now online, and most of those are now asynchronous classes comprised of prerecorded modules. How did we get here, and what does this mean for the future of learning in the system that serves the vast majority of college students? Manuel and Jeff discuss.
