Most entrepreneurs think passion is enough. Viktoriya and Oksana Gruzdyn learned the hard way that passion without systems leads nowhere.In this episode of Living The Red Life, the twin immunology scientists reveal how years of blogging generated almost no income, why investing $7,000 into coaching changed everything, and how they built a global health business helping clients transform their lives through cellular healing and autoimmune recovery. They discuss marketing breakthroughs, scaling with Facebook ads, building authority through client transformations, and creating a business that gives them freedom, impact, and purpose.From growing up in Ukraine and watching their father overcome extraordinary challenges to becoming internationally recognized health educators and entrepreneurs, their story demonstrates what happens when science, persistence, and business strategy come together.Key Takeaways • Why passion alone will not build a successful business • How coaching and mentorship accelerated their growth • The marketing strategy that generated massive client acquisition • How authority and testimonials became their competitive advantage • Why freedom and lifestyle design drove their entrepreneurial journeyNotable Quotes • "You can't just be passionate about something. You have to have the right system." • "They taught us how to have a real business, not just a hobby." • "If you invest into something, you have to make it work." • "We wanted more freedom and more experiences." • "Business is about creativity and innovation."Connect with Rudy Mawer:LinkedInInstagramFacebookTwitter

A Shot in the Arm Media in partnership with UCSF Institute for Global Health launched a nine-part series to explore the future of global health built around the book Redefining Global Health in the 21st Century, co-authored by Dr. mike Reid (UCSF Institute for Global Health Sciences) and Ambassador Eric Goosby (former U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator and former PEPFAR Chief Medical Officer). In this episode, what if the greatest threat to global health isn't a new virus — it's us? Our funding fatigue, our outdated playbook, our addiction to replication over adaptation. We've saved millions of lives. But are we sleepwalking inexorably into decline, into the enshittocene. Eric and mike don't think so. And they've written a book, “Redefining Global Health in the 21st Century, that sets out an alternative, optimistic future. In this episode, they reflect on the end of the old order, and the implications for innovation and scale up into a new era in global health. mike and Eric are hosted by Ben Plumley from A Shot In The Arm Media. 00:00 Series Kickoff Recap 01:25 Early Wins Foundations 02:07 Global Fund and PEPFAR Tensions 04:40 What Worked Best 06:29 Malawi Dependency Shock 08:48 Why Systems Collapsed 12:50 Donor Ecosystem Incentives 18:30 Designing Better Partnerships 23:25 New Players Multipolar Era 27:21 Philanthropy Promise and Peril 31:44 Limits of Philanthropy 32:24 Gates Foundation Lessons 33:41 Sustainability Commitments 35:56 Country Led Coordination 37:45 Innovation Beyond Tech Fixes 39:28 Private Sector as Resource Motor 42:02 Equity Risks and Guardrails 44:24 Indigenous Knowledge in Trials 48:08 From Pilots to Scale 52:19 Access and Global Rollout Rules 54:34 Paradigm Shift Takeaways 55:25 Episode Wrap and Next Steps Learn more about the book: https://bit.ly/redefining-global-health More from UCSF Institute for Global Health Sciences: https://globalhealthsciences.ucsf.edu Check Out mike Reid's Substack: https://substack.com/@reimaginingglobalhealth Check Out Ben's Substack: https://substack.com/@benplumley1 Join the Conversation!

Andrew Huberman Biography Flash a weekly Biography. Andrew Huberman has spent the past few days doing exactly what is reshaping his long term biography: expanding from celebrated podcaster and Stanford neuroscientist into full spectrum health authority and soon to be mass market author. Waterstones, the major UK bookseller, reports that his first comprehensive book, titled Protocols: An Operating Manual for the Human Body, is set for global release on September 15, 2026, positioning him not just as a podcast educator but as a mainstream health reference author with a formalized system of daily protocols for mental and physical performance. On TikTok, the official Huberman Lab account has been pushing a preorder campaign for that book, describing it as an operating manual for the human body and emphasizing its protocol based, highly actionable structure, a clear sign that his team is gearing up for a major cross platform publishing push. On the content front, YouTube clips from his ongoing collaboration with former Navy SEAL Andy Stumpf have been rolling out over the last few days, packaged as short, highly shareable lessons in discipline, focus, and anxiety reduction. One recent segment, How Micro Discipline Compounds Into Elite Success, features Huberman explaining how repeated small hard choices drive structural brain changes in regions like the anterior mid cingulate cortex, linking mundane habits to the neuroscience of so called super agers and reinforcing his brand as the scientist who can decode high performance. Another clip, How to Improve Focus and Decrease Anxiety With One Simple Practice, highlights his use of the Influence versus Concern framework, an exercise that has him literally asking listeners to draw a line down a page and sort worries from actions, then radically shrink phone screen time, tying mental health advice to real world behavioral experiments. Across social media, Huberman continues to be name checked as an authority. A recent Instagram post by Waterstones again promotes his upcoming book as a truly empowering guide to mental health, physical performance, and sleep, while a TikTok creator credits Andrew Huberman with helping avoid bad camera buys by pushing better lighting over expensive gear, an example of how his advice increasingly leaks into creator culture and not just neuroscience circles. Internationally, a Portuguese language Instagram carousel from a podcast account recaps the Huberman Lab episodes that led thousands of listeners to quit alcohol, chase morning light, and use a single physiological sigh to reset stress, underscoring his growing status as a global behavior change catalyst. On X, Huberman's main account has stayed focused on research, podcast promotion, and book related messaging; no credible outlet has reported any major controversy, new personal scandal, or large business acquisition tied to him in the past few days, and any rumors beyond that are unconfirmed and should be treated as speculation. The real story this week is continuity and escalation: a steady drumbeat of science based clips, an aggressive rollout toward his September book launch, and a widening echo chamber of creators, bookstores, and international podcasts framing him as the go to brain and body strategist for the self optimization era.

In Part 1 , Diagnostic Pathologist and HART co-chair Dr Clare Craig explained the serious risks to health from a recent change to UK law mandating the addition of folic acid to all white flour.In Part 2, this lively and engaging conversation broadens to cover several issues threatening medical ethics. From medical regulators persecuting Covid-dissident doctors in Irish tribunals to the “fantasy modelling” of the UK COVID Inquiry, to choreographed global virus scares, this episode pulls back the curtain on the corporate and political forces reshaping modern medicine.Key Themes Covered in This Episode:1. The Censorship and Tribunal Trials of Dissident DoctorsTargeting Ethical Doctors: In 2026, a number of Irish doctors have faced fitness to practice hearings for historically criticizing lockdowns, masks, and vaccine rollouts on social media.Policing Tone Over Truth: Dr Craig shares her experience providing expert testimony in Dublin for rural GP Dr Billy Ralph. She notes that medical tribunals focus heavily on policing and punishing a doctor's delivery and tone, rather than engaging with and evaluating the scientific truth of their statements.An Offensive Legal Strategy: Dr Billy Ralph's tribunal concluded with a legal advisor comparing Dr Ralph's critical social media posts to heinous crimes like theft and child abuse, prompting supporters in the public gallery to turn their chairs around in a silent protest.2. Exposing the UK COVID Inquiry's Statistical IllusionsThe OSR Complaint: Dr Craig and Dr Ros Jones recently submitted an official complaint to the Office for Statistics Regulation regarding Baroness Hallett's unverified and fantastical claim that vaccines saved 475,000 lives in England and Scotland alone.Fantasy Modelling: Dr Craig breaks down why this astronomical figure is a computer-generated statistical fantasy, completely decoupled from real-world wastewater tracking and natural immunity timelines.Sidelining the Injured: The UK Covid Inquiry deliberately omitted the direct testimonies of the vaccine-injured and bereaved, choosing instead to protect state bureaucracies by focusing entirely on high-level corporate systems and processes.3. Dissecting the “Pandemic Industry” PlaybookHantavirus Media Hype: Dr Craig debunks the recent cruise ship scare story, clarifying that data conclusively indicates that the few cases are due to localized rat exposure rather than a human-to-human transmission chain.Centralized Dictatorship: Dr Craig and Dr Evans discuss how WHO Director Tedros Ghebreyesus declared an Ebola global health emergency (PHEIC) himself, completely bypassing his emergency committee.Manipulated Metrics: Dr Craig highlights a massive discrepancy in the Democratic Republic of Congo Ebola outbreak narrative. Global bodies have claimed 250 deaths based on “suspected” cases, while the actual number of confirmed deaths stands at just 18.The Digital Agenda: These hyper-inflated viral scares are actively used to mandate fast-tracked pharmaceutical pipelines, PCR screening at borders, and implementation of centralized traveller tracking databases that threaten digital privacy.Choreographed Scare Cycles: Global media viral scare stories are highly cyclical, appearing intentionally ramped up by journalists to coincide with the annual World Health Assembly conference.4. Over-Medication and the Cancer “Cash Cow”Genetic Test Misdirection: Dr Craig previews her latest research into a heavily celebrated breast cancer genetic test, revealing that the test failed to accurately predict which patients would benefit from toxic chemotherapy. “The actual story is one of massive over-medication of women with toxic drugs and test failure.”The Next Profit Frontier: She warns that oncology screening and multi-cancer treatment drugs are being systematically positioned as the next massive cash cow for Big Pharma.ShareFollow Dr Clare Craig's WorkTwitter/X: @ClaireCraigPathArticles: Read articles written by Dr Craig on her own Substack or on HART's Substack and website.Books: Dr Craig's two books are a must read. She forensically analyses all aspects of the Covid era and jab rollout in “Expired: Covid the Untold Story” and “Spiked: A Shot in the Dark”. Both are available on Amazon.UKMFA: CALL TO ACTION: Please follow us and subscribe on our YouTube and Rumble channels and please share our content on social media and with friends and family, to help us get the message out and increase our reach.All our podcasts can also be found on the major audio platforms e.g. Apple and Spotify.Our Substack is found here: https://substack.com/@ukmfa1We are grateful for all donations to help us to continue and grow our work; lobbying decision makers; educating and empowering the public; running campaigns and producing our podcasts.

In this summer-ready episode of "Transmission Interrupted," host Jill Morgan sits down with Dr. Andi Shane, Division Chief for Pediatric Infectious Disease at Emory and Medical Director of the Special Care Unit at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, to tackle the itchy, the icky, and the often misunderstood risks of summer: bugs, bites, and bathrooms. As families gear up for vacations, outdoor adventures, and the return to school, Jill and Dr. Shane break down the real dangers posed by bug bites and creepy-crawlies, offering practical guidance to parents for preventing itching, infections, and accidental exposures. They discuss best practices for using insect repellents on children, why covering up is sometimes easier said than done, and the importance of checking kids (and pets) for ticks—along with what tick-borne illnesses to watch out for as changing climates shift the landscape of risks across the country. The episode doesn't shy away from common but uncomfortable realities like head lice, exploring why these unwelcome visitors are more gross than genuinely dangerous, and shares expert strategies for dealing with them calmly. Dr. Shane also covers hand hygiene, safe management of public restrooms, and the influx of “cooties” when kids return to school, offering memorable and sometimes hilarious tips for keeping families healthy through the literal and figurative messes of summer. Wrapping up, Jill and Dr. Shane emphasize the ongoing importance of vaccination, regular pediatric care, and practical steps every parent can take to minimize risks and avoid unexpected hospital visits. Whether you're heading to camp, beach, or just the local playground, this episode is your guide to surviving and thriving through bugs, bites, and bathrooms. Questions or comments for NETEC?

A Shot in the Arm Media launches a new nine-part series produced in partnership with the UCSF Institute for Global Health Sciences, built around the book Redefining Global Health in the 21st Century, co-authored by Dr. mike Reid (UCSF Institute for Global Health Sciences) and Ambassador Eric Goosby (former U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator and former PEPFAR Chief Medical Officer). In this prologue episode, Reid and Goosby explain why they wrote the book, what defined the “golden era” of global health since the early 2000s—the Global Fund, PEPFAR, Gavi—and why that progress now feels at risk under the Trump administration's cuts to USAID and PEPFAR. They introduce the book's central metaphor, borrowed from Cory Doctorow's concept of “enshittification,” to ask whether global health institutions are on the brink of decay, and argue that decline is a choice, not a destiny. The conversation previews the arc of the series—covering the old order, governance, financing, climate, technology and AI, and self-care for health workers—and closes with a call for honesty, bipartisanship and accountability, grounded in the legacies of Nelson Mandela and Steve Biko. 00:00 Introduction: Is the Greatest Threat to Global Health...

This episode unpacks how a major Ebola outbreak in Central Africa exposed critical gaps in global health surveillance and assesses U.S. preparedness for future biological threats.   Host: James M. Lindsay, Mary and David Boies Distinguished Senior Fellow in U.S. Foreign Policy, CFR   Guest: Thomas J. Bollyky, Bloomberg Chair in Global Health; Senior Fellow for International Economics, Law, and Development; and Director of the Global Health Program   We Discuss:   The current state of the Ebola outbreak in the DRC and Uganda, and why the case count was already high by the time authorities reported it. Why governments are often slow to report cases during outbreaks, and what delayed reporting may have cost in this instance. Why the WHO has discouraged trade and travel restrictions. How the U.S. withdrawal from the WHO is shaping a more limited response. Whether China is stepping in to fill the global health leadership gap left by U.S. institutional withdrawal. What the politicization of mRNA vaccine technology means for the U.S. ability to respond to future outbreaks that require rapid vaccine deployment. How artificial intelligence creates opportunities to accelerate global health responses, but also introduces new risks like engineered pathogens.   Mentioned on the Episode:   CDC Health Alert: Ebola Disease Outbreak in the DRC and Uganda, May 19, 2026   WHO Disease Outbreak News: Ebola caused by Bundibugyo Virus, DRC and Uganda, May 21, 2026   WHO Declaration of Public Health Emergency of International Concern, May 17, 2026   Bollyky et al., "Assessing COVID-19 pandemic policies and behaviours and their economic and educational trade-offs across US states from Jan 1, 2020, to July 31, 2022: an observational analysis," The Lancet   CDC Mobilizes International Response Following Ebola Disease Outbreak, May 18, 2026   For an episode transcript and show notes, visit The President's Inbox at: https://www.cfr.org/podcasts/presidents-inbox/americas-ebola-preparedness   Opinions expressed on The President's Inbox are solely those of the host or guests, not of CFR, which takes no institutional positions on matters of policy.

Maintenant Vous Savez, c'est aussi ⁠Maintenant Vous Savez - Santé⁠ et ⁠Maintenant Vous Savez - Culture⁠. La routine n'a pas bonne réputation. Dans un monde où tout va toujours plus vite, la routine est devenue l'ennemi numéro 1 de l'épanouissement personnel. Pourtant, nos petites habitudes sont fondamentales pour notre santé à la fois physique et mentale. Et particulièrement celles du matin car elles influencent fortement le reste de la journée.  Une étude publiée dans le Journal of Global Health en 2020, fait la distinction entre les routines primaires comme penser, dormir ou manger et les routines secondaires comme travailler, étudier ou faire de l'exercice. Selon les auteurs de l'étude, la perturbation des routines primaires peut être très mauvaise pour la santé. Ne pas se réveiller à la même heure, ne pas s'endormir à la même heure ou encore ne pas manger à la même heure perturbe gravement le fonctionnement de notre corps.

What happens when a deadly outbreak is stopped before most people ever hear about it?  Dr. Paige Armstrong, director for the Center for Disease Control and Prevention's Global Health Center, explains how the CDC works with partners around the world to detect and contain emerging health threats before they reach U.S. communities. From Ebola in Uganda to Marburg in Tanzania, Dr. Armstrong shares real-world examples of how surveillance systems, laboratory networks, trained public health workers, and trusted international partnerships help stop outbreaks at their source. Also, Dr. Marcus Plescia, former ASTHO Chief Medical Officer and District Health Director for the Fulton Health District, District 3-2 in Atlanta, Georgia discusses the massive public health preparations underway for the FIFA World Cup in Atlanta. We'll hear about the complex planning required to protect millions of visitors during one of the world's largest sporting events.Outbreaks You Never Heard About: Because CDC Was There | Global Health Protection | CDCDeveloping a Policy Action Plan to Improve Access to STI Medications WebinarBridging Systems: How Kentucky is Improving Response to Emerging Health Threats | ASTHO

Africa once again has an Ebola outbreak. At this point, it is centered in the so-called Greak Lakes region, with the largest number of cases in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Uganda has also seen several cases. Sadly this is not new news. But it takes place in the context of a weakened World Health Organization, with the US withdrawal, and a stark memory of the Covid outbreaks. It also is exacerbated by the shuttering of USAID and severe cuts in health funding from the Trump Administration. The United States is insisting that any American that tests positive for the virus would be treated outside of the country, provoking protests in East Africa such as in Kenya. So is the Ebola outbreak a potential pandemic? What has been the most effective means to treat these kinds of outbreaks. And how does it influence the current intense discourses about health care delivery and wellness in the United States.

Truth Be Told with Booker Scott – A limited Ebola outbreak raises fresh questions about public health transparency, government accountability, and institutional trust. Economic pressure weighs on families facing high costs, while human trafficking threatens vulnerable communities. Leaders must tell the truth, protect citizens, confront exploitation, and defend faith, family, country, and the most vulnerable neighbors today...

As concerns escalate about the deadly Ebola virus outbreak in Africa, we bring you the unique insights of Dr. Peter Piot, a renowned microbiologist who co-discovered the virus 50 years ago during the first recorded outbreak of the disease. His on-the-ground account of that crisis was provided to us in April before the current outbreak was declared, but it contains valuable historical perspective and shares lessons learned that he carried forward in his consequential career.  “What I saw from the beginning is the most important thing is to listen to people and that you need to act fast to save lives, before you have the evidence you would like to have.”    He followed his contributions on Ebola by diving into the fight against HIV/AIDS, eventually reshaping global response in leadership roles at the World Health Organization and United Nations. As he shares with host Lindsey Smith, the learnings in that case were more pragmatic than scientific. “We had to redefine HIV/AIDS not as a medical problem but as an economic and security problem in order to get it on the political agenda.”  Tune in for a fascinating episode that takes you from the gritty frontlines of public health crises to the battles for funding and attention in the halls of power as Dr. Piot shares what it actually takes to move the world to respond effectively to health threats.

In this episode, we host Professor Meru Sheel to examine whether global health systems are prepared for the next major infectious-disease outbreak. Drawing on her work in infectious-disease epidemiology, vaccine research, emergency preparedness and global health security, Professor Sheel explores the difficult questions now facing governments, public-health agencies and international institutions: how quickly outbreaks can be detected, how effectively information is shared, and how public-health systems can respond before local emergencies become wider international crises. Set against the recent Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda, and the international response to the MV Hondius hantavirus outbreak, this conversation looks at the race between disease spread, surveillance, public trust and political coordination.We discuss why outbreaks test far more than medicine alone. Professor Sheel explains how public-health responses depend not only on vaccines, diagnostics and contact tracing, but also on logistics, risk communication, community engagement and trust in institutions. We explore the difference between individual severity and population-level risk, why a virus can be highly fatal without necessarily posing a pandemic-style threat, and why public-health messaging must warn people without creating panic. The episode also examines the role of the International Health Regulations, the World Health Organization, national governments and multidisciplinary response teams in managing complex, cross-border outbreaks involving cruise ships, repatriation, quarantine, clinical care and international contact tracing.Professor Meru Sheel is Professor of Infectious Diseases and Global Health at the University of Sydney. Her work focuses on epidemiology, vaccine research, outbreak preparedness, emergency response and immunisation systems, particularly across Australia and the Asia-Pacific region. She has worked extensively on the relationship between routine vaccination systems and health emergency preparedness, and her research examines how surveillance, community engagement, vaccine delivery, public-health coordination and equity shape the ability of countries to prevent, detect and respond to infectious-disease threats. The International Risk Podcast brings you conversations with global experts, frontline practitioners, and senior decision-makers who are shaping how we understand and respond to international risk.

We've been told that if we just show people the data on racial health disparities, change will follow. It hasn't. In this episode, Corey sits down with Dr. Sarah Gollust (University of Minnesota) and Dr. Neil Lewis Jr. (Cornell University), researchers with the Collaborative on Media and Messaging for Health and Social Policy (CommHSP), to unpack why the numbers alone never move people — and what does. They dig into the fear of "backlash," why context changes everything, and the surprising finding that the communities most affected by inequity are often the most ready to act, yet are routinely left out of the research about them.Show NotesWhy does telling people the facts about health disparities so often fail to create change? Dr. Sarah Gollust and Dr. Neil Lewis Jr. have spent two decades studying exactly that question — how media and messaging shape what the public believes about health, race, and who deserves care. In this conversation, they make the case that data without context can backfire, while stories grounded in lived experience can mobilize people across racial and political lines.In this episode:Why "just show them the data" is an incomplete strategy — and what people actually need to understand the why behind health outcomesThe moment a governor called COVID "the great equalizer," and why it crystallized the urgency of getting health communication rightThe study that found 94% of racial-equity messaging research relied on majority-white or all-white samples — and what that bias erased"Beyond fear of backlash": why explaining the causes of disparities removes defensiveness instead of triggering itHow America's individualistic culture pushes people toward blaming individuals ("just eat healthier," "just exercise") instead of seeing systemsWhy people of color, often excluded from the research, turn out to be the most willing to mobilize for changeThe power of narrative transportation — and why Neil opens academic papers with a quote from Dr. King's The Other AmericaHow the collapse of local health journalism makes community-grounded stories harder to tell, and why independent platforms matter more than everKey takeaway: Don't go quiet because the conversation is hard.

⬥EPISODE NOTES⬥ The healthcare system is, by some measures, the most targeted sector in cybersecurity. Patient records get lifted, hospitals get held for ransom, and the supposed protections often look more like antiquated friction than modern defense. Gil Bashe, Chair of Global Health and Purpose at FINN Partners, joins Sean Martin to explore why the systems meant to protect people's most sensitive information are, in many cases, the same systems holding back better care. A former combat medic, agency CEO, private equity operator, and now author of Healing the Sick Care System: Why People Matter, Gil Bashe brings a rare composite view of how information, technology, and human judgment collide in healthcare. The conversation moves quickly from ransomware and HIPAA-covered entities into the harder questions about AI. With an estimated 80 percent of doctors already using OpenAI tools to assist with diagnosis or treatment patterns, the line between "in the zone" and "precision" information has become a clinical safety issue. Gil Bashe reframes hallucinations as what they really are in his world: wrong facts. And wrong facts, fed back into a system that increasingly trusts the output, create a feedback loop that no one is accountable for. The machine doesn't sleep, doesn't worry, doesn't carry responsibility. The humans on either side of it do. That accountability gap is where the cybersecurity audience comes in. Gil Bashe draws a direct parallel between great coders and great clinicians: both work inside-out and outside-in, interviewing the people who use the system and the people the system serves. He argues that the cybersecurity professional protecting an EMT's routing system, a hospital's power grid, or an MRI data pipeline is saving lives on the same continuum as the paramedic. The skillset is different. The stakes are not. Sean Martin and Gil Bashe also press on the leadership question raised by AI. If clinicians are freed up by 15 percent of their day, what does the system ask them to do with that time? See two more patients on the conveyor belt of sick care, or actually treat the underlying cause of disease? With 18.7 percent of U.S. GDP going to healthcare and 35 percent of that consumed by administration, the answer is not technical. It is a leadership decision about what the technology is for. This conversation asks cybersecurity practitioners, CISOs, and technology leaders to widen the frame. Protecting data is the floor. Protecting the human relationships, the clinical judgment, and the dignity of the patient on the other end of the system is the work. ⬥GUEST⬥ Gil Bashe, Chair, Global Health and Purpose at FINN Partners | On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gilbashe/ ⬥HOST⬥ Sean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine, Studio C60, and Host of Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast & Music Evolves Podcast | Website: https://www.seanmartin.com/ ⬥RESOURCES⬥ Healing the Sick Care System: Why People Matter (book by Gil Bashe) | https://www.finnpartners.com/news-insights/healing-the-sick-care-system-why-people-matter/ FINN Partners | https://www.finnpartners.com/ The Future of Cybersecurity Newsletter | https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/7108625890296614912/ More Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast episodes | https://www.seanmartin.com/redefining-cybersecurity-podcast Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast on YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnYu0psdcllS9aVGdiakVss9u7xgYDKYq ⬥ADDITIONAL INFORMATION⬥ Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast | https://www.seanmartin.com/redefining-cybersecurity-podcast Redefining CyberSecurity on YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnYu0psdcllS9aVGdiakVss9u7xgYDKYq The Future of Cybersecurity Newsletter | https://itspm.ag/future-of-cybersecurity Connect with Sean Martin | https://www.seanmartin.com/ ⬥KEYWORDS⬥ gil bashe, finn partners, sean martin, healthcare cybersecurity, hospital ransomware, ai in medicine, chatgpt clinical use, patient data protection, hipaa business associates, health information leadership, sick care system, non-communicable diseases, human leadership in ai, medical misinformation, prompt accountability, redefining cybersecurity, cybersecurity podcast, redefining cybersecurity podcast Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Sepsis is a global health emergency, with nearly half of all septic patients being children. In this episode of the Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM) Podcast, Samantha Gambles Farr, MSN, NP-C, CCRN, RNFA, speaks with Niranjan Kissoon, MD, MBBS, FRCP(C), FACPE, MCCM, about his Thought Leader presentation at the 2026 Critical Care Congress, Making Sepsis the Next Success Story in Global Health. The panel also discusses how access and equity play a part in how sepsis is treated. From a global perspective, Dr. Kissoon emphasizes that the most important thing is advocacy and prevention from a governmental level by creating national action plans, making sure the healthcare system is resilient, and utilizing technology and innovation to create better ways of providing care; and from a societal level by educating patients and families about nutrition, hygiene, vaccinations, and seeking care early. Niranjan Kissoon, MD, MBBS, FRCP(C), FACPE, MCCM, is a professor in the Department of Pediatrics (Pediatrics and Surgery, Emergency Medicine) at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. He is the past president of the World Federation of Pediatric Critical and Intensive Care Societies and currently serves as president of the Global Sepsis Alliance. He is cochair of the pediatric Surviving Sepsis Campaign, vice president of the Canadian Sepsis Foundation, and chair of World Sepsis Day and the International Pediatric Sepsis Initiative. He also serves on the Sepsis Alliance USA and the African Sepsis Alliance advisory boards and is also a founding member of the Caribbean Sepsis Alliance.

This podcast has returned to modern slavery three times now. Lisa Kristine showed us its face through her photography. Bruce Ladebu described what it actually takes to pull children out. And Matthew Friedman, in Episode 76, gave us the architecture: thirty-five years working across Nepal, Bangladesh, Thailand, the UN, and eventually the Mekong Club. That first episode opened with the story of an 11-year-old Nepalese girl in a Mumbai brothel who ran across the room, wrapped herself around Matt, and begged him to save her. He couldn't, that day. He came back with police and she was gone. This second conversation picks up in a deglobalising world. The USAID cuts have gutted sixty years of global anti-trafficking infrastructure. The $400 million available to address modern slavery has been halved. HIV clinics, maternal health programs, girls' education initiatives are all gone. And as Matt makes clear, the line from those cuts to a new trafficking victim is not abstract. It runs through hospitals, through debt, through desperation.This episode also goes somewhere I'm afraid I didn't communicate that well, the points of cultural judgement and critique. There's a story of a sixteen-year-old Bangladeshi girl, rescued after two weeks in a brothel, who was turned away at her own front door by a father who loved her because the shame she carried would make her siblings unmarriageable. That story sits at the centre of the hardest question in this conversation: when the cultural machinery enabling trafficking runs this deep, what can the outside world actually do about it? It's a delicate subject, I regret not treating it as such. $238 billion modern slavery generates annually flows through the same offshore plumbing this podcast has covered with Oliver Bullough and John Christensen. Matt explains how banks are already tracking it and how the Mekong Club is working with Interpol, crypto companies, and social media platforms to find it and cut it off.It's a pleasure to welcome Matt Friedman back to the podcast. ResourcesWalk Free Foundation's Global Slavery Index - https://www.globalslaveryindex.org/U.S. Department of State Trafficking in Persons Report - https://www.state.gov/trafficking-in-persons-report/Makon Club - Anti-Human Trafficking Organization - https://makonclub.org/USAID Human Trafficking Programs - https://www.usaid.gov/what-we-do/gender-equality-and-womens-empowerment/human-traffickingInterpol Human Trafficking Unit - https://www.interpol.int/en/How-we-work/Operations/Operation-ScorpionChapters00:00 The Impact of Deglobalization on Modern Slavery02:50 Statistics and Resources in the Fight Against Modern Slavery05:54 Consequences of USAID Cuts on Global Health and Safety08:38 Understanding Human Trafficking and Legal Responses11:40 Cultural Attitudes and Enforcement Challenges14:12 The Role of Vulnerability in Exploitation17:23 Identifying the Most Egregious Examples of Modern Slavery20:02 Cultural Change and the Role of Awareness23:22 Internal vs. External Approaches to Addressing Modern Slavery33:12 The Impact of Fiction on Awareness36:24 Taking Responsibility: Individual Actions Against Human Trafficking38:27 Creating Compelling Content: The Role of Film in Activism40:47 Cultural Sensitivity in Addressing Trafficking43:28 The Urgency of Addressing Human Trafficking50:08 Financial Institutions and Their Role in Combatting Trafficking57:47 The Power of Business in Addressing Human Trafficking59:52 Finding Hope: The Starfish Parable

TL;DR Today, based on our multi-year prioritization research, we launch the Rethink Priorities Cross-Cause Fund (CCF). The fund pools donors' contributions and allocates them to high-impact giving funds across Global Health and Development, Animal Welfare, and Global Catastrophic Risks. Key highlights from this post: We believe that strategic cross-cause prioritization is an important step in doing good at scale. This fund is for donors who want their donation to go where a marginal dollar is likely to do the most good across cause areas, all things considered. We modeled key uncertainties that matter for cross-cause prioritization: moral weights, time discounting, risk attitudes, aggregation across ethical views, AI-related uncertainty, and empirical uncertainty within each giving opportunity. We present the current recommended allocation of marginal resources across high-impact funds in each of the three cause areas mentioned above. In addition, we're introducing you to the first version of the Donor Compass, a tool to help donors explore cross-cause giving, powered by our cross-cause prioritization model. It is a short quiz that outputs custom giving allocations based on the user's moral and empirical assumptions. You can dive deep into our rationale and methodology for the CCF in the announcement below, or [...] ---Outline:(00:11) TL;DR(01:46) Cross-cause prioritization in effective giving is underdeveloped(02:22) Giving is full of moral and empirical uncertainty(04:27) How EA has historically handled this(06:29) Why thinking in cause areas isn't enough(06:34) Why not just pick the best cause and fund it?(07:18) At the end of the day, interventions are what's funded -- not causes(08:37) What would address the prioritization problem(08:55) We need explicit modeling(10:36) The barriers to cross-cause prioritization are lower than they once were(11:59) Our solution: an explicit and transparent cross-cause prioritization model(12:06) The model(14:03) Giving opportunities currently included in the model(16:10) The Cross-Cause Fund(16:35) Who is it for?(17:42) How does it work?(18:39) Our current recommended allocation across cause areas(20:15) Donor Compass(20:19) What is it?(20:51) How to use it(21:41) Methodology behind our model and tools(22:10) Fund selection(22:55) Fund-by-fund cost-effectiveness estimation(24:43) Data Viewer(25:01) Defining worldviews(26:48) Outputting an allocation(28:03) Future cross-cause prioritization plans(31:03) Support the research behind the cross-cause prioritization model(31:46) Conflicts of interest statement(32:25) Acknowledgements --- First published: May 20th, 2026 Source: https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/YgbTWGyfwkoBtvT2R/announcing-the-rethink-priorities-cross-cause-fund --- Narrated by TYPE III AUDIO. ---Images from the article:Apple Podcasts and Spotify do not show images in the episode description.

The World Health Organization met on Tuesday in Switzerland to discuss a deadly outbreak of Ebola in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda. According to the WHO, the outbreak, which has killed more than 130 people and infected more than 500, could last for months. Those numbers could be much, much higher than what they've been able to report. The Ebola outbreak comes in the midst of another deadly health crisis you've probably heard a lot about: hantavirus. It's part of a family of extremely dangerous viruses that are primarily spread by rats and mice. As all this is going on, you're probably wondering who's running the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention? And who is currently the Surgeon General of the United States? The answer to both? Currently, no one has been confirmed by the Senate. To find out more about what's happening with America's public health system, we spoke with Apoorva Mandavilli. She's a science and global health reporter at the New York Times.And in headlines, President Donald Trump shows off the White House ballroom construction site, acting Attorney General Todd Blanche sits for a Congressional hearing, and guess who's making a lot of money trading stocks? You're not going to like the answer.Show Notes: Check out Apoorva's work – www.nytimes.com/by/apoorva-mandavilli Call Congress – 202-224-3121 Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/y4y2e9jy What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcast Follow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/ For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

So much for common ground… Buckle up because this week Jillian Michaels sits across from Sam Seder, host of The Majority Report, for a bare-knuckle debate on government waste, Iran, Israel, Russia, Ukraine, DOGE, USAID and more. Nothing was off-limits. If you wanted a polite, coordinated conversation, go somewhere else. This is a full-throated ideological fight. In this episode, they tear into: The Global Health & Foreign Aid Crisis: The dismantling of USAID is front and center — is America's withdrawal from international NGO funding a necessary correction or a catastrophic failure? The debate gets heated fast, with the "last-mile" operational collapse in Uganda and the human cost of overnight co-investment mandates laid bare. The Mamdani-Khomeini Comparison: The Iranian diaspora isn't staying quiet — and this is where things get truly combustible. Jillian comes in swinging, amplifying the voices of exiles who lived through the revolution and are drawing chilling parallels between Mamdani's ideological framework and the Ayatollah's early intellectual positioning and Sam gets outraged. The Iran Conflict & The Fog of War: A fierce legal and ethical battle erupts over the recent strikes in Iran. The tragic Minab school bombing, the possibility of flawed targeting intelligence, and the complex question of civilian protections when military assets are embedded in non-military infrastructure all get put under the microscope. Russia, Ukraine & the NATO Fault Line: With the war grinding into a new phase, they go head to head on whether Western alliance commitments are a stabilizing force or a provocation that made this conflict inevitable DOGE, PBMs, and Domestic Warfare: The heat turns inward to tackle domestic deregulation, the rising influence of the Department of Government Efficiency, and whether the new delinking and transparency rules under the TrumpRx framework are liberating healthcare or creating new corporate loopholes for PBMs to exploit. Two distinct worldviews. Absolute zero consensus. Who held their ground, and who got exposed? Stream the full, unfiltered debate now and drop your thoughts in the comments below.

For years, the United States invested heavily in disease prevention programs in the Democratic Republic of the Congo through USAID, funding efforts to strengthen health systems, improve sanitation, and prepare for outbreaks like Ebola. But before the current crisis erupted, the Trump administration that aid. Experts say those reductions likely weakened early detection and response efforts as the DRC descended into what is now the third-largest Ebola outbreak ever recorded, with hundreds infected and more than a hundred deaths reported.

 Donald Trump signed a slew of executive orders on day one of his second term in 2025. One of those executive orders was the beginning of the end for the agency known as USAID.  It was started in 1961 by President Kennedy in order to advance human survival around the world, stabilize economies in the developing world and make the path to peaceful democracy smoother.  It was, and for all these intervening years remained, a noble cause credited with saving the lives of tens of millions around the world by treating and preventing serious health issues such as HIV/AIDS, malnutrition, tuberculosis, malaria and more.  And while not a focus of Project 2025, somehow it became a target for dissolution by President Trump and Elon Musk’s DOGE team.  Decades long dedicated staff, with expertise in this field, were summarily fired with the new Administration caring little of past success and future necessity.  Nicholas Enrich, a former civil servant who worked at USAID through four administrations, focusing on Global Health initiatives, had seen enough before he, too, was dismissed and had written some powerful memos that became part of the public record.  He documents what happened and why he continued the fight in his new book, “Into the Woodchipper: A Whistleblower’s Account of How the Trump Administration Shredded USAID.”

A rare strain of Ebola is spreading rapidly through Congo, and has made its way into Uganda. Now, the World Health Organization has declared the outbreak a public health emergency of international concern. Its putting neighbouring countries on edge, and the WHO says an international effort is necessary to fight against further spread of the virus.Also: Ever since the US and Israel's war with Iran began nearly three months ago, the United Arab Emirates has faced repeated drone and missile strikes from Iran. The UAE has mostly withheld a military response -- but it has retaliated in other ways, closing down institutions led by the Iranian diaspora within the country.And: Something is brewing in this country. It seems a small, but growing number of Canadians are turning to witchcraft. From public rituals to a witch school, you'll hear why people are seeking out this form of spiritual practice. Plus: Growing Israeli settlements in the Occupied West Bank, PCOS renamed to PMOS, and more

New infections aboard a cruise ship have thrust the hantavirus into the global spotlight. Hantavirus infections remain rare, with only about 1,000 cases reported in the U.S. in more than 30 years. What the world knows about the illness started in 1993 on the Navajo Nation. After struggling to identify the dangerous respiratory illness, medical researchers gained crucial insights from Navajo elders, noting that traditional oral histories had long associated spikes in deer mouse populations — driven by specific rainfall patterns — with deadly disease. That knowledge directly informed the scientific discovery of what we know now as the Sin Nombre virus. The discovery also offers a lesson in public notification of diseases. Early media reports labelled the pathogen as the “Navajo flu”, which stigmatized the community for years afterward. We'll look at the history of the hantavirus and the current efforts to prevent its spread.

A system designed to heal shouldn't wait for people to get sick.In this episode of Real Things Living, Brigitte Cutshall speaks with Gil Bashe, Chair of Global Health & Purpose at FINN Partners and author of Healing the Sick Care System: Why People Matter. With decades of experience across healthcare, business, and caregiving, Gil shares a powerful perspective on why today's healthcare system often prioritizes processes over people.Through personal stories and real-world examples, Brigitte and Gil dive into the importance of communication, curiosity, and human connection in creating better health outcomes.Key Takeaways(1) Prevention is undervalued. The system often delays care until conditions worsen—costing more in the long run.(2) Connection drives better care. The strongest outcomes come from providers who listen, communicate, and build trust.(3) You are your own advocate. Asking questions, staying curious, and choosing the right providers can transform your health journey.Resources & Links:"Healing the Sick Care System: Why People Matter" by Gil Bashehttps://www.finnpartners.com/bio/gil-bashe/https://www.linkedin.com/in/gilbashe/Share this with someone who cares about their health or someone navigating the healthcare system.Let's create a healthier future together.Subscribe and leave a comment.
