This week we are excited to have Kate Rapkoch from Paws and Breathe back on the podcast to discuss all things puppy yoga. Can you ever go wrong with puppy yoga? Actually yes, we think there is both ethical and unethical puppy yoga. While puppy yoga started as a way for rescues to raise much needed funds there are now many commercialized puppy yoga businesses. Unfortunately there are many stories of unhealthy, lethargic and tick infested puppies coming for these all day commercialized classes unsupervised and without food or water.  Because puppy/dog welfare is the utmost importance to us we think it's imperative to talk about how to spot both ethical and unethical puppy yoga. We think you'll learn a lot from Kate in this episode. Katie Rapkoch | Animal-Assisted Wellness (@pawsandbreatheaz) • Instagram photos and videosPaws + Breathe | Yoga, Wellness, and Animal Support in ArizonaSometimes There's Side Eye Podcast (@sometimestheressideeye) • Instagram photos and videos

What role should AI play in running our business? In this roundtable, Michelle Kline, Daniel Reitman, and Doug Keeling explore the growing role of artificial intelligence in the pet care industry. They discuss practical use cases like data analysis, client support, route optimization, SOP creation, and marketing, while also wrestling with real concerns around environmental impact, ethics, authenticity, and changing job markets. The conversation keeps returning to one central idea: AI should not replace human care, but it can free business owners to spend more time on the parts of the job that matter most. This episode is a nuanced, honest look at how pet care businesses can engage AI without losing their values, relationships, or humanity. Main topics: AI use in operations Ethics and environmental concerns Saving time through automation AI and client experience Future of pet care Main takeaway: "AI should never make care decisions about a living animal. It should never replace a physical caregiver. It should supplement what we do." AI can help us analyze data, improve systems, and buy back time, but it should never replace the human judgment, presence, and compassion that define great pet care. The real opportunity is not to become more robotic in how we run our businesses. It is to become more human by removing some of the busywork that pulls us away from pets, clients, and team members. This episode is a thoughtful discussion about how to use new tools without losing the heart of what we do. About our guests: Michelle K. is the founder of Dog Co Launch, where she helps pet care business owners build stronger systems, scale sustainably, and think more strategically about growth. She brings a coaching perspective to this conversation, especially around operations, data, and the ethical limits of AI in service-based businesses. Michelle is deeply focused on helping businesses adapt without losing the human relationships that make their work meaningful. Daniel Reitman is the owner of Dan's Pet Care and is known for asking hard questions and pushing the industry to think bigger about operations, technology, and standards of care. He is an early adopter of AI tools and has been exploring how they can support data analysis, staff communication, customer experience, and business scalability. Daniel brings both enthusiasm and urgency to conversations about how quickly this technology is changing the landscape. Doug Keeling is the founder of Bad to the Bone Pet Care and a respected voice in pet care hiring, leadership, and business development. Though he describes himself as a later adopter of AI, Doug has found meaningful ways to use it for SOPs, training, data analysis, and administrative efficiency. He brings a grounded, thoughtful perspective to the conversation, especially around environmental impact and using AI in ways that create more time for relationships and community care.

It seems like sometimes accountability can take forever. And then, it comes all at once. Remember all those Trump lawyers who got disbarred as a result of what they did during Trump's first presidential rodeo: Rudy Giuliani, John Eastman, Kenneth Chesebro, and others?Well, some other lawyers didn't really pay attention to that cautionary tale. One of them is Ed Martin. Donald Trump tried to make Martin the United States Attorney for the District of Columbia – the city's top prosecutor – but Senate Republicans said, 'not so fast, that's a bridge too far even for us', and refused to confirm Martin.And now, accountability is coming for Ed Martin, The New York Times just reported: "DC Bar begins disciplinary proceedings against Ed Martin. A new legal filing accused Mr. Martin, a senior Justice Department official, of an unethical pressure campaign against Georgetown University."Glenn discusses this development with his fellow former career federal prosecutor, Kevin Flynn, in a segment called "The Prosecutor's Verdict".Find Kevin at: https://www.kevinflynnauthor.com/Find Glenn on Substack: glennkirschner.substack.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Photography is a technology of contradictions. It is at once mechanical and mysterious, even magical. It furnishes evidence of presence while being a token of absence. It can show us proof but can't, without accompanying narration or context, make us understand. And perhaps most perplexing of all, it is an imperialistic technology which, paradoxically, atomizes the world and democratizes all events and experiences, making each viewer of photographs the owner of a facsimile-world in his or her head. Wes & Erin discuss two essays from Susan Sontag's collection, “On Photography,” “In Plato's Cave” and “America, Seen Through Photographs, Darkly,” and ask what constitutes photography's “ethics of seeing,” and whether Sontag suggests an alternative comportment towards the camera, the subject, and the photographic image.

If you went back in time and you had the opportunity to be involved in an attempt to remove Adolf Hitler from the scene before WWII, would you do it? How you answer this question may determine your position on war, peace, and violence. Is violence sometimes necessary to produce good? Or is war and violence always wrong, no matter the circumstances? How does the Christian worldview best answer this predicament, and how should we as Christians view war in general? Jesus calls us to be peacemakers, so we need to be able to define exactly what that means.  Our guest today is Paul Copan, Professor and Pledger Family Chair of Philosophy and Ethics at Palm Beach Atlantic University. He's a Christian theologian, analytic philosopher, apologist, and author, having written or edited around 45 books and contributed chapters to over 60 more. Paul is perhaps best known for tackling tough questions about God and the Old Testament in books like Is God a Moral Monster?, Is God a Vindictive Bully?, and Did God Really Command Genocide? He's also served as president of the Evangelical Philosophical Society and currently chairs the Philosophy of Religion Group for the Tyndale Fellowship in the UK. 

Helen McCarthy has spent over forty years as one of the West's leading voices on manga and anime — and her new book The Manga Bible is her most ambitious attempt yet to bring that tradition to readers who've never cracked a volume. She joins Matthew to talk about what manga actually is, where it came from, and why it keeps mattering to generation after generation of readers.Matthew and Helen trace the full arc: Helen's origin story (a robot cartoon marathon on Spanish TV in 1981, a partner who'd just had his art-school brain exploded in Mallorca), the London import shops and rented VHS tapes from Japan that built an early UK fandom from scratch, and the wartime suppression that nearly wiped out the medium before Tezuka and others rebuilt it from memory. The conversation covers what manga gave women readers that American and British comics couldn't, why so many Western assumptions about manga history turned out to be wrong, and how Godzilla's origins as post-occupation allegory connects to manga's own post-war reinvention.The episode closes somewhere unexpected — protest songs, One Piece flags at South American demonstrations, and a shared conviction that pop culture's deepest superpower is its ability to carry a rebellion across every language barrier at once.More About Helen and Her BookThe Manga Bible by Helen McCarthy — available from helenmccarthy.net and independent bookstores via bookshop.orgA Brief History of Manga by Helen McCarthyConnect with Helen: helenmccarthy.netDiscussed on Other Superhero Ethics EpisodesGodzilla (1954)One Piece**************************************************************************This episode is a production of Superhero Ethics, an Ethical Panda podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network.

What if the term “provider” has no Nazi roots whatsoever, and the claim that it does actually harms important conversations about healthcare? In this myth-busting episode, Dr. Bradley Block sits with Dr. Volke Roelcke and Dr. Mical Raz as they trace the real origins of “provider” to the rise of U.S. health insurance: early Blue Cross/Blue Shield plans in the 1930s, then Medicare and Medicaid in 1965, when neutral language was needed to describe anyone delivering a paid clinical service; hospitals, physicians, nurses, physical therapists, everyone. The myth began with a single unfortunate mistranslation of the Nazi-era German term “Krankenbehandler” (a stigmatizing label restricting Jewish physicians to treating only Jewish patients) and exploded after a 2019 blog post.  They show how repeating this falsehood trivializes the actual persecution of Jewish doctors under the Nazis, turns physicians (one of the most privileged and highly paid professions in the world) into a faux “marginalized group,” dilutes the power of calling out real harm to truly vulnerable populations, and distracts from genuine issues like scope creep and regulation.  The conversation also highlights the importance of respecting expertise: physicians in medicine, historians in history, and why peer-reviewed journals should not let sweeping historical claims pass without proper review. Three Actionable Takeaways When you hear the “provider = Nazi” claim, correct it in one sentence: “The term has zero Nazi origins, it comes from U.S. health-insurance history. Here's the open-access JGIM article.” Respect expertise the same way we demand it in medicine: don't make or publish big historical claims if you don't speak the language or read the sources, doctors aren't historians any more than historians are surgeons. Focus energy on real solutions for professionalism and autonomy; lobbying, education, trust-building, clear regulation, instead of weaponizing the Holocaust for terminology battles. About the Show: Succeed In Medicine covers patient interactions, burnout, career growth, personal finance, and more. If you're tired of dull medical lectures, tune in for real-world lessons we should have learned in med school! About the Guests: Dr. Volke Roelcke is a German historian of medicine and the biomedical sciences whose work focuses on 20th-century medicine, especially under the Nazi regime and the ethical history of human-subject research. He trained in medicine, completed specialist training in psychiatry, and served for over 20 years as Professor of the History of Medicine and Director of the Institute for the History, Theory and Ethics of Medicine at Justus Liebig University Giessen before retiring. He was a member and briefly co-chair of the Lancet Commission on Medicine, Nazism, and the Holocaust. Dr. Mical Raz is the Charles E. and Dale L. Phelps Professor in Public Policy and Health at the University of Rochester, where she also practices internal medicine at Strong Memorial Hospital. Her grandfather left Berlin for Israel in 1933; most of his family perished in the Holocaust. She teaches undergraduates about insurance systems and has published extensively on child welfare, poverty, and coercive interventions. Her books include The Lobotomy Letters, What's Wrong with the Poor?, Abusive Policies, and Making Families.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th century existentialist and feminist philosopher, novelist, essayist, and playwright Simone de Beauvoir's book, The Ethics of Ambiguity It focuses specifically on her discussion in the conclusion, which looks at a question that arises for existentialists, namely whether existentialist ethics is individualistic or not. As it turns out, the answer depends on what conception one is relying upon of "individualism", and de Beauvoir provides important clarifications about the senses in which existentialism does focus upon individuals To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadler If you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoM You can find over 3500 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadler Purchase De Beauvoir's Ethics of Ambiguity - amzn.to/32IbKya

Ever since Leo Strauss published his magnum opus Natural Right and History, which ends by heavily implying Edmund Burke opened the door for the evils of historicism in the modern world, a great fissure in conservative nerddom erupted between those who align with either titan. Were Strauss' criticism of Burke warranted? Did Burke disavow natural rights and pave the way for the evils of authoritarianism, fascism, Marxism, and progressivism to come? Does a careful, esoteric reading of Natural Right and History reveal the Strauss secret family chili recipe? Saving Elephants has assembled an all-star panel to answer these questions and more.   Representing Edmund Burke: Dr. Gregory Collins is one of the most celebrated Burke scholars of the rising generation.

Julia Vaughan Smith joins me to explore what it really means to be a trauma-aware coach. We unpack the fear many coaches carry of getting it wrong, causing harm, or stepping outside their scope, and how that can undermine confidence. We look at the difference between working with trauma and working on trauma, and why coaching doesn't need to become therapy to be effective. We also explore the shadow sides of both coaching and psychotherapy, the rise of popular approaches like parts work, and how to stay grounded in good practice. Towards the end, we dive into the powerful dynamics between mothers and daughters, trauma entanglement, and how early relationships shape identity and behaviour. Find out more about Julia's work here: www.becomingourselvs.co.uk. ----------------------------------------------- Julia Vaughan Smith is a master accredited coach and supervisor, a retired registered psychotherapist and an author of three books including 'Coaching and Trauma', one of the very few books that deals with this topic and 'Daughters: How to Untangle Yourself from your Mother' which considers the trauma behind difficult and painful daughter/mother relationships and the entanglements that ensure. She has been teaching and talking about coaching and trauma since 2010 and ran Masterclasses with Jenny Rogers on the topic over several years.

The Gospel of Thomas Verse James Talarico Won't Show You A sermon clip from Texas legislator James Talarico recently went viral after he referenced the Gospel of Thomas to suggest that Jesus supported modern ideas about gender and equality. But there's something missing from that presentation. In this episode, Lenny plays the viral clip and responds directly to the claim by examining what the Gospel of Thomas actually says — including the final saying that rarely gets mentioned. Then we step back and explore the bigger issue: how the Bible's canon was formed and why writings like the Gospel of Thomas and the Gospel of Judas were never considered Scripture by the earliest Christians.

Preacher: Jason Min Title: Kingdom Ethics: Covenant Sermon Series: Life Reimagined Scripture: Matthew 5:31-32 (NIV)

A century ago, philosophy split its seams. Cambridge's revolt against British Hegelianism promised “clarity,” Vienna's scientific modernism tried to rebuild from scratch, and postwar America professionalized it all while quietly erasing the politics that once burned at the core. We invited Christoph Schuringa, editor of Hegel Bulletin and author of A Social History of Analytic Philosophy and Karl Marx and the Actualization of Philosophy, to map the break—and to argue why Marx didn't abandon philosophy so much as put it back to work.We start with Russell and Moore's rebellion and the Bloomsbury circle that treated linguistic precision as a moral breakthrough. Then we step into Red Vienna, where the Unity of Science lived alongside adult education, social housing, and austro‑Marxist reform. Wittgenstein links both worlds: sanctified by the Vienna Circle, wary of their empiricism, mystical yet method-obsessed, and ultimately a catalyst for the linguistic turn that reshaped Anglo‑American departments. The Cold War's shadow looms large here; McCarthyism and professional incentives sanded down the political edge of philosophy of science, leaving behind procedures without projects.From there, we pivot to Marx. Schuringa makes a provocative case: Capital is philosophical not because it states doctrines, but because it enacts dialectical thinking adequate to its object. Rather than a self‑contained logic applied to reality, Marx tracks how concrete oppositions ripen into contradictions—how specialization collides with labor mobility, how accumulation breeds crisis. Ethics reenters the frame too. Instead of rulebooks, we get the hard work of situated judgment and character, closer to Aristotle than to textbook deontology. Species‑being names our capacity for freedom and mutual recognition within social life; its glimpses are already here in imperfect forms, like care untethered from payment.If you've ever wondered why analytic philosophy persists, why Wittgenstein feels both central and strange, or how Marx can guide action without sanctifying dogma, this conversation connects the dots. Join us for a tour from Cambridge to Vienna to London and back to the workshop of history—and stay for a clear, practical case for philosophy that helps us think and act together. If this resonates, share it with a friend, leave a review, and tell us: what should philosophy dare to do next?Send a text Musis by Bitterlake, Used with Permission, all rights to BitterlakeSupport the showCrew:Host: C.

The cultural hangovers of Christianity are well attested.Recently, people who were once describing themselves as ‘New Atheists' have gone as far as to call themselves ‘Cultural Christians', due to the prevalence of Christian thought in modern ethics.But what if the great dream of the New Atheists eventually succeeded?What would a world where God was actually dead look like?FOR FULL SHOW NOTES - click here.CREDITSUndeceptions is hosted by John Dickson, produced by Kaley Payne and directed by Mark Hadley. Alasdair Belling is a writer-researcher.Siobhan McGuiness is our online librarian. Lyndie Leviston remains John's wonderful assistant.  Santino Dimarco is Chief Finance and Operations Consultant. Peter Kozushko is our North American representative and a point of contact for church pastors interested in engaging with our work here at Undeceptions.  Editing by Richard Hamwi.Our voice actor today was Dakotah Love. Special thanks to our series sponsor Zondervan for making this Undeception possible. Undeceptions is the flagship podcast of Undeceptions.com - letting the truth out.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th century existentialist and feminist philosopher, novelist, essayist, and playwright Simone de Beauvoir's book, The Ethics of Ambiguity It focuses specifically on her discussion in the section "Ambiguity" of what existentialist ethics is. In her view, it isn't an ethics that can be summed up in absolute principles, but has to be understood as a method.

Sarah Longwell and Andrew Weissmann discuss a chaotic week for the rule of law, from the DOJ bizarrely flip-flopping on defending Trump's executive orders targeting law firms, to a Trump-appointed judge finding evidence of racial profiling in ICE stops in Minnesota, and a new DOJ proposal that could shield government lawyers from ethics investigations.Get OneSkin with 15% off using code ILLEGALNEWS at https://oneskin.co/ILLEGALNEWS.

Stefan Molyneux takes up several listener questions and works through them using his framework of Universally Preferable Behavior. He defends a fully rational basis for ethics that stands apart from any religious foundation, while still making space for humility—especially when dealing with hostile or trolling responses in discussion. He examines how personal virtue connects to genuine love, looks at the way modern society handles crime and justice, and wrestles with the conflict that arises between faith and reason inside Christian thought. Toward the end he turns to the practical side of ideological disagreements, showing how they strain or even break personal relationships and offering ways to approach those tensions with clearer moral reasoning and calmer, more rational conversation.Questions:I think of UPB as an Aristotelian proof of morality (which also implies God).

The Human Equation with Joe Pangaro – Morals and ethics shape how people judge right and wrong, yet individuals often interpret them differently based on culture, experience, and changing social norms. These differences influence institutions, relationships, and public debate. Understanding how personal morals and shared ethical standards interact helps explain growing social tension and the challenge of maintaining trust...

Welcome to the Influence Podcast! I'm George P. Wood, executive editor of Influence magazine and your host. "Most professions have ethical codes of conduct that govern the behavior of members," writes Brad Kesler. "If ethical behavior is important for other professions, how much more for ministers of the Lord Jesus Christ?" Kesler wrote a just-published book on ministerial ethics to "equip all God's people, and especially ministers, to conduct ministry in such a way that it glorifies God, protects and encourages the church, and sets up the minister for long-term, healthy ministry. Too many ministers have shipwrecked their ministries on the rocks of ignorance and sin." In this episode, I talk to Kesler about the importance of ministerial ethics generally as well as the issues of money, sex, and power specifically. Brad Kesler is general secretary of the Assemblies of God and (full disclosure) my boss. He is author of Trusted with Treasure: A Handbook of Ethics in Ministry, published by Gospel Publishing House.   Sponsor Ad This episode of the Influence podcast is brought to you by Gospel Publishing House, distributors of The Third Voice.

What if your daily scripture study is actually ethical training? In this episode Rosalynde Welch sits down with editor and scholar Dr. Courtney Campbell to unpack Moral Visions: Ethics and the Book of Mormon (edited with Kelly Sorensen). They take the Book of Mormon seriously as an ethical text: not just a list of dos and don'ts, but a set of moral visions that shape who we are, how we live together, and what kind of communities we build.Campbell and Welch walk through three big moves in the book: how the Book of Mormon teaches (the “scene of instruction”), what it says about everyday ethics (from clothing and conspicuous consumption to prosperity), and why those moral teachings matter — prophecy as moral memory and social criticism aimed at creating flourishing, covenantal communities.What you'll take away:A fresh lens for reading the Book of Mormon: ethics as vision, not only rule-following.How narrative, memory, and prophecy function as tools for communal moral formation.Concrete ethical concerns the book raises for the 21st century: social cohesion, economic justice, and peacemaking.A new appreciation for why the Book of Mormon's stories still matter—because they aim to shape communities that last.

Congress is charged with writing the laws that govern the rest of us, but who holds lawmakers accountable when they break the rules?

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Todd Kroupa A former firefighter turned top-producing real estate agent in Georgia. Todd explains his journey from a physically demanding fire department career to becoming a highly successful real estate broker, team leader, and luxury/equestrian property specialist. The conversation walks through: His transition from the fire service to real estate Opening and managing a 400‑agent office in Florida Relocating to Georgia and re-establishing his business How he advises both first-time homebuyers and experienced sellers Emotional decision-making in buying and selling Inspections, deal-breakers, and buyer/seller behavior Multi-generational housing trends post‑COVID Why real estate remains a wealth-building tool Advice for navigating neighborhoods, schools, and due diligence His eventual ranking as #1 single agent for Berkshire Hathaway in Georgia (2024–2025) Todd emphasizes integrity, long-term relationships, and guiding clients toward the right house — not just closing a deal. Purpose of the Interview The purpose of Todd Kroupa’s appearance is to: Share a motivational career-change story — moving from firefighter to top real estate agent. Educate listeners on the real estate process — including buying, selling, inspections, and market strategy. Give practical tips for first-time homebuyers, families, and multi-generational households. Promote best practices for choosing neighborhoods, navigating emotion in home buying, and avoiding pitfalls. Highlight Todd’s success and position him as a trusted resource for Georgia real estate clients. Key Takeaways 1. Career Transition & Motivation Todd became a firefighter in 1992, retired in 2014, and began real estate in 2002. Real estate appealed to him because it allowed him to continue helping people without the physical strain. He built and managed a 400-agent office before returning to working directly with clients — his true passion. 2. Balancing Firefighting and Real Estate He often worked both jobs full-time, with limited days off. Eventually, maintaining both became impossible: “I can’t do this anymore,” he told his wife. 3. Buyer Advice Buyers make decisions emotionally first, then logically. Within the first 3–5 minutes in a home, buyers often know if they like it. Lighting, paint color, home condition, and layout heavily influence emotional response. First-time buyers need extra guidance — like “teaching someone to drive for the first time.” 4. Seller Advice Selling isn’t just about market timing — presentation matters. Neutral paint colors and bright white lighting help increase buyer appeal. Every showing is won or lost in the first few minutes. 5. Inspections Matter — and Are Deal Breakers Top inspection walk‑aways: Mold Foundation issues Roof problemsTodd stresses that if a buyer is uncomfortable before closing, “you won’t be comfortable after you close.” 6. Emotion vs. Logic Many buyers get emotionally attached and ignore red flags. Todd’s rule: commissions should never drive decisions. 7. Multi-Generational Living Is Rising Driven by COVID, high child-care costs, rising home prices. Families are choosing: ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units) “In-law suites” Larger family compounds 8. Real Estate as a Wealth Builder Unlike stock investments, real estate allows you to: Control, improve, alter, and live in the asset. Tax advantages like 1031 exchanges and mortgage deductions compound long-term value. 9. Don’t Buy the Most Expensive House in the Neighborhood Surrounding homes cap your resale value. You may have to wait years for nearby homes to “catch up.” 10. Neighborhood Due Diligence Realtors must avoid discrimination (Fair Housing Act). Buyers should: Visit neighborhoods at night and on weekends Speak with neighbors Review school ratings and county resources Notable Quotes (from the transcript) Career & Purpose “I love helping people. That’s why I became a fireman. Real estate was another way to help people.” “I wasn’t quite sure I wanted to manage long term… my heart was with clients.” Ethics & Commission “Commissions should never be above the people.” “If you’re focused on commissions, you need to pick a different industry.” Emotions in Home Buying “Buyers think they’re looking logically, but they’re looking emotionally first.” “Within the first 3–5 minutes, they already know if they like the home.” Inspections “If you’re not comfortable with the property now, you won’t be comfortable after you close.” Neighborhood Choice “Focus on the house, but look at the neighborhood — you can’t change your neighbors.” Wealth Building “With stocks you can’t control it, improve it, or live in it. With a home, you can.” Success & Determination “Someone told me when I moved to Georgia I wasn’t going to make it. Now I’m the number one salesperson in Georgia.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Since President Trump's return to office, his net worth has nearly doubled to an estimated $7 billion. He's used his office to promote his family's cryptocurrency businesses, pardoned investors and allies, accepted lavish personal gifts and tipped off oil executives before raiding Venezuela. “The Trump family's staggering indifference to blurring the lines between politics and corporate interest once again demonstrates how Trump's presidency is being used to enrich himself and his family rather than serving the needs of the American people,” reports the nonprofit, nonpartisan watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW). We talk with CREW president Donald Sherman and investigative journalist Andrea Bernstein about the many ways corruption appears to be occurring in the second Trump Administration. Guests: Andrea Bernstein, Peabody and duPont-Columbia award-winning investigative journalist; author, “American Oligarchs: The Kushners, the Trumps, and the Marriage of Money and Power"; co-host of four podcasts, including “Trump, Inc.” Donald K.

Dr. Alex Marson, MD, PhD, is a professor of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco. We discuss the biology of the immune system and cancer, and everyday choices that can increase or decrease your cancer risk, several of which are surprising but all of which are actionable. We also discuss immunotherapy, including how engineered T-cells can be used to defeat childhood and adult cancers. Dr. Marson explains CRISPR and gene editing to cure diseases, and we address the ethical questions surrounding gene editing in embryos, children and adults. This discussion is for anyone interested in avoiding cancer and/or seeking to understand the science and practical applications of immune- or gene-therapy. Read the show notes at hubermanlab.com.
