Animal Kingdom broke Stephen this week.After scrapping multiple fully developed concepts (including a Tarzan attraction, a suspended canopy ride, and an Emperor's New Groove idea that refused to fit the park's philosophy), the team tackles one of the most challenging design questions in Disney Parks: what is missing on Discovery Island?Inspired by Shanghai Disneyland's Challenge Trails and grounded in the values that define Animal Kingdom, Stephen proposes the Wilderness Explorers Challenge Course: a multi-level treetop adventure through Discovery Island that transforms guests from observers into participants as they climb, cross, and explore their way toward Paradise Falls.Plus, listener Nate Heasley (the reviewer formerly known as "Hedgehog") joins the show with an Imagineering pitch of his own, finally proving once and for all that he is, in fact, a real person, not a woodland creature.Can a challenge course become Animal Kingdom's next great adventure? And what makes designing for this park so different from every other Disney destination?Don't forget to check us out on Instagram!

Hedgehog numbers are falling across Europe, with the species now listed as Near Threatened after a 30% decline. In Germany, night-time robot lawnmowers are a major culprit. Dr Anne Berger joins us to explain the injuries they cause, the public backlash, and why banning after-dark mowing could help...

While the hedgehog remains one of Ireland's most familiar and beloved mammals, surprisingly little is known about its current status nationwide.     Studies across Britain and Europe have found significant declines in hedgehog populations due to habitat loss, changing farming practices and development, and there are concerns that similar pressures may be affecting hedgehogs here in Ireland.     A new National Hedgehog Survey, a collaboration between researchers at NUI Galway and the National Biodiversity Data Centre, is aiming to fill that knowledge gap, with members of the public and farmers being encouraged to get involved.    To tell us more, Alan Morrissey was joined by Bev Truss of The Hogsprickle Sanctuary in Broadford Photo (c) Sebastian Moldoveanu via Canva

Censuses are not just for us humans because today marks the beginning of the Great Big All-Ireland Hedgehog Count with people being asked to look around this week to try find and document hedgehogs.

Medicus Pharma CEO Dr Raza Bokhari joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce a significant regulatory milestone for the company's SkinJect® program, revealing that Protocol SKNJCT-005 has been submitted to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration under the company's existing Investigational New Drug (IND) application. The submission is designed to advance SkinJect® into registrational-stage development for patients suffering from Gorlin Syndrome, a rare inherited genetic disorder characterized by the lifelong development of multiple basal cell carcinomas and recurrent skin cancers. Bokhari explained that the filing represents an important step in expanding the clinical development strategy for SkinJect® into an orphan disease indication with substantial unmet medical need. The company believes Gorlin Syndrome presents a compelling opportunity because current treatment options remain limited and there are no FDA-approved lesion-directed therapies specifically developed for patients living with the condition. Gorlin Syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant genetic disorder most commonly caused by mutations affecting the Hedgehog signaling pathway. Individuals diagnosed with the disorder may develop dozens, hundreds, or in some cases more than a thousand skin cancer lesions over their lifetime, requiring ongoing medical intervention and repeated surgical procedures. According to Bokhari, the chronic nature of the disease creates a significant burden on patients, caregivers, and healthcare systems. Repeated surgeries and treatments can lead to scarring, disfigurement, and reduced quality of life, highlighting the need for alternative treatment approaches capable of addressing individual lesions in a more targeted and patient-friendly manner. The company is also pursuing Orphan Drug Designation for the indication, which could provide several important regulatory and commercial benefits if granted by the FDA. These incentives include exemption from FDA new drug application fees, which currently exceed $5 million, as well as seven years of market exclusivity in the United States following regulatory approval. #proactiveinvestors #nasdaq #mdcx #tsxv #mdcx #pharma #SkinJect #ClinicalTrials #Phase2 #Biotech #Dermatology #SkinCancer #BasalCellCarcinoma #Microneedle #DrugDelivery #GorlinSyndrome #RareDisease #OrphanDrug #Biotech #SkinCancer #ClinicalTrials #DrugDevelopment #HealthcareInnovation

In this special ScaleUp Radio episode, recorded live at our monthly ScaleUp Club Q&A session, Kevin Brent is joined once again by returning ScaleUp Radio guest Jennifer Appleton to explore one of the most powerful strategic concepts for growing businesses: the Hedgehog Concept from Jim Collins' Good to Great. Alongside the main discussion, members also heard an AI Pulse update from Paul at Green Gorilla Automation, showcasing how agentic AI tools like Claude can move from generic chatbot responses to genuinely useful strategic analysis when given the right business context. The conversation explores how founder-led businesses can avoid becoming "busy fools", stay focused on what truly drives profit, and use AI to enhance capability without losing the human insight that creates value. One standout theme throughout the session was this: "AI without context gives generic answers. AI with business context becomes a strategic thinking partner."   In this episode The Hedgehog Concept explained We break down the three circles behind the Hedgehog Concept and why it matters for scaling businesses: What you are deeply passionate about What you can genuinely become best at What drives your economic engine The discussion highlights why businesses often lose momentum by saying "yes" to too many opportunities and how the Hedgehog acts as a practical filter for strategic decisions. ISO QSL's real-world Hedgehog Jennifer shares how ISO QSL defines its own Hedgehog: Passion: helping SMEs implement ISO systems Best at: implementing management systems for SMEs Economic engine: a recurring monthly retainer model She also explains how the business adapted after a major Google algorithm change impacted lead generation, including: Building a stronger referral strategy Exploring Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO) Protecting focus by avoiding distracting projects outside the core offer AI Pulse update – finding your Hedgehog with Claude Paul from Green Gorilla Automation demonstrated a live AI experiment comparing two Claude projects: One with no business context One connected to real company data including P&L, client lists and strategy documents The difference was dramatic. The context-rich AI project produced: Evidence-based strategic analysis SWOT recommendations Notion tasks Automated review scheduling A working hypothesis for the company's Hedgehog The session also introduced the practical "10/80/10" principle: 10% setup and context 80% AI execution 10% human review and refinement AI and the future of ISO auditing Jennifer also shared how ISO QSL is exploring AI-assisted auditing. Rather than replacing auditors, AI may: Pre-scan documents Identify gaps and trends Reduce low-value admin Allow auditors to focus on higher-value insight and improvement work The outcome: Increased capacity Better client experience Improved profitability without increasing fees   Key Takeaways Strategic focus is often about deciding what not to do AI is only as valuable as the context you provide it Founder distraction is one of the biggest blockers to scale Recurring revenue models create stability and scalability AI works best as an enhancer of expertise, not a replacement for it   The One Key Thing The businesses that scale most effectively are the ones disciplined enough to focus relentlessly on the few things they can genuinely become exceptional at.   About ScaleUp Club ScaleUp Club is our monthly peer-to-peer session for ambitious business owners looking to scale with more clarity, structure and accountability.

The boys are back and barreling ever closer to the end of Michael's big book of Grimm's brothers! First what feels like a twist on a classic tale...until it gets kinda dark. Then we keep the darkness rolling!

Hello gang. Welcome back to another Cafe. Scott and I talk about Buffy, Doctor Who, Furham Hall and Operation Undead. Plus news from the world of entertainment.

In this clinically rich episode, host Dr. Ted Lain sits down with board-certified dermatologist and global skin cancer expert Dr. Todd Schlesinger — AAD Board of Directors member, Mohs surgeon, clinical assistant professor at George Washington University School of Medicine, and medical director of the Clinical Research Center of the Carolinas — for a deep dive into systemic and targeted therapies for non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC). The doctors begin with a thorough breakdown of the hedgehog signaling pathway (PATCHED, Smoothened, GLI-1 transcription) and how mutations in this pathway drive basal cell carcinoma (BCC) growth. They compare the two FDA-approved hedgehog pathway inhibitors (HHIs) — vismodegib (Erivedge) and sonidegib (Odomzo) — covering their mechanisms of action, volume of distribution differences (16–18L vs. ~9,000L), indications for locally advanced and metastatic BCC, how to define "locally advanced," and complete vs. partial response rates. Dosing strategies are addressed in detail, including alternate-day dosing and treatment breaks backed by the MIKIE study and STEVIE safety study. For managing the most common adverse events — muscle cramps, dysgeusia, weight loss, and fatigue — Dr. Schlesinger shares his clinical protocol using L-carnitine supplementation (1,500–2,000mg liquid, started 2–4 weeks before therapy) along with calcium and CoQ10. The conversation then moves to PD-1 and PD-L1 checkpoint inhibitors for locally advanced and metastatic cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) and BCC, covering cemiplimab (Libtayo), pembrolizumab (Keytruda), and nivolumab (Opdivo). The hosts explain the immune checkpoint mechanism using a memorable analogy, discuss how UV exposure upregulates PD-1 on tumor cells, and explore the practical realities of dermatologists prescribing infusion-based immunotherapy — including multidisciplinary care team logistics, buy-and-bill considerations, and when to partner with oncology. The episode closes with an exciting look at the pipeline: intralesional therapies for nodular and superficial BCC from companies including Verica, iViva, PHIO, and Feldan, red light PDT for superficial BCC nearing FDA approval, and the broader question of where these drugs fit as neoadjuvant, adjuvant, or primary therapies — and what complete response benchmarks (80–95%) dermatologists should expect before adopting non-surgical primary options.

This week, we're shining a light on some of the plants and creatures that play a vital role at this time of year: the ones that truly make spring what it is… starting with an often overlooked but invaluable contributor to the spring display - comfrey. Olivia Drake will be telling us more about this powerhouse for pollinators that deserves a place in any garden. Next, we turn to the veg patch and one of the most satisfying crops you can start sowing right now. RHS Wisley's Liz Mooney joins us to share some practical tips on growing carrots successfully. And finally, we'll be taking a closer look at one of the UK's most beloved native mammals, now beginning to emerge from winter hibernation: the hedgehog. Hedgehog officer Grace Johnson from the Hedgehog Street campaign talks us through the challenges these charming creatures face, and how our gardens (however big or small) could hold the key to helping reverse their decline.

2026-04-02 | UPDATES #160 | Now, the follow-on to Hedgehog — the story that Euromaidan Press broke on March 31st, 2026, in a piece titled exactly what it says: "Ukraine fired its NATO trainers. The alliance is running out of time to learn why."Ukraine has been scaling back the training of its own forces abroad. Basic training will now run in just three EU countries with support from four NATO states — down from the 18 EU member states that hosted Ukrainian brigade-level training of all types through late 2025. Kyiv clarified it has not cancelled overseas training outright but is "clustering and optimizing".The real story, as Defence News reported on March 27th, is the reversal of direction. For twelve years, the West trained Ukraine. Now Ukraine is training the West. Germany — the first NATO member to formally invite Ukrainian trainers into its own army's schools — has welcomed a cadre of Ukrainian military advisers to teach drone warfare, counter-UAS tactics, and electronic warfare integration. Lieutenant General Christian Freuding, head of the German army, told Reuters: "The Ukrainian military is currently the only one in the world with frontline experience against Russia."----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up-campaign-to-fight-authoritarian-disinformation----------A REQUEST FOR HELP!I'm heading back to Kyiv next month, to film, do research and conduct interviews.

Silicon Bites Ep311 | 2026-04-02 | Who is the real paper tiger? Ukraine schools NATO on drones while Trump torches the alliance. Several stories around NATO's future have converged this week – but here are two of the most important. Ukraine fired its NATO trainers. A mystified alliance is running out of time to learn why, suggests Hans Petter Midttun in an article published by Euromaidan Press. Ukraine's General Staff has decided to scale back overseas training for its troops and—despite the constant threat of Russian missile and drone strikes — move it to Ukraine. According to Militarnyi, General Staff's Deputy Chief for Doctrine and Training Yevhen Mezhevikin cited logistical concerns and a lack of relevant combat experience among Western instructors. "They are disconnected from our realities, from the current combat operations," he said.----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up-campaign-to-fight-authoritarian-disinformation----------SOURCES:Euromaidan Press — "Ukraine fired its NATO trainers.

2026-02-14 | UPDATES #131 | The Hedgehog 2025 NATO military exercises ended in a “drone massacre”, courtesy of elite Ukrainian forces. This is what we've been saying on the channel for the last year and is corroborated by many of the guests with military experience that we have interviewed. It's an object lesson for NATO — the wakeup call this hubristic and sclerotic organisation needs. And it's better this lesson is learned by conducting exercises with allies, the Ukrainians, than in a direct confrontation with elite Russia drone units like Rubicon in a hostile war situation. We are not ready for the next war, and now NATO has the most compelling evidence of this fact. ----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up-campaign-to-fight-authoritarian-disinformation----------A REQUEST FOR HELP!I'm heading back to Kyiv this week, to film, do research and conduct interviews.
