Evolutionary biologists have attempted in a multitude of different ways to genetically alter a species of fruit fly in an attempt to create some kind of new species. But their efforts have not yielded the desired results. In addition, contemporary discoveries pertaining to our own human genetic make up have brought a significant challenge to the reigning orthodoxy of Neo-Darwinian evolution. Naturalists are bereft of any kind of explanation regarding from where the information in the genome has come or how nature on its own could create such specified and complex information. This week on the Profile we wrap up Daniel Ray's informal conversation with Discovery Institute fellow Dr. Paul Nelson. Paul discusses these and other philosophical and theological implications of Darwin's groundbreaking theory for us today. Paul Nelson, PhD, Senior Fellow, Center for Science and Culture, is an Adjunct Professor in the Master of Arts Program in Science & Religion at Biola University. He received his PhD in the philosophy of biology and evolutionary theory from the University of Chicago, and he lectures frequently at colleges and universities throughout the United States and Europe. His scholarly articles have appeared in journals such as Biology & Philosophy, BIO-Complexity, Zygon, Rhetoric and Public Affairs, and Touchstone, and his book chapters have appeared in the anthologies Mere Creation (Intervarsity Press), Signs of Intelligence (Brazos), Intelligent Design Creationism and Its Critics (MIT Press), Darwin, Design, Public Education (Michigan State University Press), and Next Generation Systematics (Cambridge University Press). Heis co-author of thebiology textbook Explore Evolution, and he has appeared in several films on intelligent design for Illustra Media.

Since Charles Darwin's 1859 publication of On the Origin of Species there has been much debate and discussion about the relationship of Darwin's naturalistic hypothesis as it relates to and/or contravenes the creation account found in the Book of Genesis. Darwin's ideas have gone far beyond mere empirical science as they touch on the very philosophical, theological, and moral aspects of the origin and development of human beings.On this episode of the Profile we speak with Discovery Institute fellow Dr. Paul Nelson about these implications of Neo-Darwinian evolution and the challenges facing the theory of natural selection today. Daniel Ray caught up with Paul at the 2025 Science and Faith Conference in Denton, Texas this past February.  It's a conversation you don't want to miss!Paul Nelson, PhD, Senior Fellow, Center for Science and Culture, is an Adjunct Professor in the Master of Arts Program in Science & Religion at Biola University.

Despite decades of progress in geriatric care, too many older adults still struggle to receive the reliable, evidence-based care they deserve. In this episode, Dr. Terry Fulmer, President of the John A. Hartford Foundation, and Faith Mitchell, an Institute Fellow at the Urban Institute, discuss the development of age-friendly health systems and the ongoing challenges in ensuring older adults receive high-quality, evidence-based care. Dr. Fulmer highlights the "four M's" framework (What Matters, Medications, Mentation, and Mobility) as a way to simplify and scale age-friendly practices, benefiting over 4 million older adults in the U.S. Sustained partnerships, government initiatives, and long-term philanthropic support have been essential in spreading this movement globally. Equity and accountability are central, ensuring all health care staff contribute to reliable, harm-free care for every older adult, regardless of background. While challenges like increasing diversity and system coordination persist, there is optimism in innovations like AI and a growing commitment to improving care for aging populations. Tune in to learn how a global movement is transforming care for older adults!

Bryn Panee Burkhart is Principal and Founder of Next Evolution Leadership Coaching and Career Management, and currently serves as an Institute Fellow at Simmons University's Institute for Inclusive Leadership. She previously oversaw Alumni Career Services at the MIT Sloan School of Management and was a speaker at our November 2020 Return to Work Conference. Bryn discusses compensation: how employers determine compensation structures, how relaunchers should prepare for compensation conversations, and exactly what to say during compensation discussions when relaunching via a return to work (RTW) program or hired directly. This discussion is full of practical, detailed advice and scripts that relaunchers can use with potential employers. Note at 27:14 Bryn gives specific language to use when negotiating compensation when "converting" to a permanent hire after a returnship or when discussing an offer that is not part of a return to work program. https://www.nextevolutioncoach.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/nextevolution-coach

Dallas and Shanthi discuss Shanthi's fresh take on 21st-century migratory experiences and temporality from her innovative study of young Asian migrants' lives in Australia's cities and regions. The book shows how migration has reshaped lived experiences of time and place for middle-class young people moving between Asia and the West for work, study and lifestyle opportunities. Through a new conceptual framework of ‘chronomobilities,' which looks at ‘time-regimes' and ‘time-logics', Robertson demonstrates how migratory pathways can profoundly affect the temporalities of everyday life, from the timelines of career trajectories to the tempos of urban living. Drawing on extensive ethnographic material, Robertson deepens our understanding of the multifaceted relationship between migration, place and time. Shanthi and Dallas also talk about Exit West in this conversation, a book by Mohsin Hamid. Shanthi calls Hamid's book ‘almost speculative fiction', that follows a young couple who escape civil unrest in their unnamed city through magical doors that begin to appear, allowing people to move instantly to different cities around the world. Exit West follows these characters as they emerge into an alien and uncertain future, struggling to hold on to each other, to their past, to the very sense of who they are. Shanthi says this book is ‘only lightly speculative' and can be read as a powerful commentary on contemporary migration and borders. And if you like this discussion, Dallas also talked with Shanthi on ABC Radio National's The Philosopher's Zone, see Chronomobilities. Join us for a series of fascinating conversations about some of the most interesting books about cities and urban life.

Suzanne Delbanco consults Bob Berenson, MD, Institute Fellow at the Urban Institute, on what's going on with telehealth payment policy in both Medicare and the commercial sector and why employers should be paying attention. In May 2021, Bob Berenson testified at the Senate Finance Committee, where he laid out the reasons why fee-for-service is a not a viable way to continue paying for telehealth visits, especially in the primary care context. Listen in to learn about the intricacies of telehealth payment in Medicare, how the commercial sector has taken a different approach, and why a payment arrangement known as partial capitation holds the most promise for balancing the convenience of telehealth for patients with financial sustainability for health care purchasers.

Why would governments and corporations alike be interested in destabilizing society? ªº¬˚∆≤≥≤≥ Join the mailing list http://eepurl.com/gRUCZL ≤≥≤≥∆˚¬ºª Well, it depends on who's responsible. A state like China, Russia, or Saudia Arabia might be interested in seeing the United States self-immolate to clear the way for their agendas on a global scale. Remember, Rome fell to civil war before being conquered from beyond its walls. Then there's transnational and domestic actors, who can take many different forms: everyone from coal to big tech is very, very concerned with controlling public narratives. Why? To out-compete one another! Bad actors to weaponize pessimism by creating exhaustion in the face of global problems. This can decrease voter turnout, decimate political organizing, and can ensure the status quo keeps purring along unchallenged. These days, the biggest threat hanging over conflicting people's heads isn't mutually assured destruction by way of nuclear warheads - it's an online battle for the heart and soul of the global populace. ---- Subscribe and ask for notifications if you want to gear up to fight the declining spiritual economy, the appeal of moral relativism, and the unending appeal of strongmen… and beyond that, we've lined up even more conversations about space colonialism, paranormal psychology, and the ever mystified nature of consciousness.

In this episode, I converse with Shubhendu Trivedi, who's currently a Machine Learning Researcher at MIT CSAIL, where he works with Prof. Regina Barzilay and Prof. Tommi Jaakkola as part of the MIT Machine Learning for Pharmaceutical Discovery and Synthesis Consortium (MLPDS). Prior to that he was the NSF sponsored Institute Fellow at Brown University's Institute for Computational and Experimental Research in Mathematics and completed a PhD on group covariant neural networks at the Toyota Technological Institute at Chicago and the University of Chicago. Shubhendu's research particularly focuses on causal learning and representation learning for graph-structured data, with a particular focus on applications to drug discovery. We talk about his fantastic journey in science, being there at the pivotal moment when the deep learning revolution took off, phenomenal mentors who guided him through academia and life, the unique characteristics of research in academia and industry, dealing with issues of bias and ethics in AI systems, his eclectic reading interests and obsession with collecting books, and many more things!!

A community development philosophy centered around locally grown business and care for neighbors comes through in this conversation celebrating Lydeana Martin's graduation in the inaugural class of the Appalachian Leadership Institute. The yearlong program focuses on economic development in the 13 state Appalachian region, and Martin was one of Virginia's first cohort of fellows to complete it. The program both reinforced and further shaped thinking for the Floyd County economic and community development director. "In Floyd County, we give most of our attention to people who have already chosen Floyd County," says Martin. The Southwest Virginia county of 15,000 people has an outsized identity shaped by its entrepreneurs, the rural quality of life, traditional music and craft, and, yes, its one stoplight. Listen to this conversation on building community bridges and just try not to choose Floyd County yourself, if only for a visit.

Listen NowAs part of last year's "fiscal cliff" agreement the Congress created a Long Term Care/LTC Commission tasked to make recommendations to improve LTC delivery.   (The Commission was created largely as a result of the demise of the ACA's CLASS Act.  See the related August 5th interview with Connie Garner.)  Today more than 12 million Americans rely on LTC services and this number will grow dramatically as baby boomers age.  Currently however only impoverished older Americans and the disabled are covered via state Medicaid programs and because few companies offer LTC policies (and because annual premiums are expensive), only about 8 million Americans have private LTC insurance.  As a result LTC services are provided moreover informally by 42 million Americans at an AARP estimated out-of-pocket cost of $450 billion annually.  In mid-September the 15-member LTC Commission voted 9-6 in approving 28 recommendations.  The six dissenting votes were largely due to Commission's failure to address the most substantive LTC issue, how best to pay for LTC services. During this 22-minute interview Prof. Feder discusses the Commission's findings generally.  Moreover she details how/why the Commission failed to address structural financing for LTC.  She also discusses the views of the six Republican-nominated commission members, how/why private insurance policies are limited and/or inadequate, what a publically funded LTC insurance policy would look like and prospects for future work conducted by a subsequent national committee and the Congress.                Judy Feder is a Professor of Public Policy at the Georgetown Public Policy Institute.  Prof. Feder began her career at the Brookings Institution, continued at the Urban Institute, and, since 1984 has worked at Georgetown University.  She served as Staff Director to the Congressional Pepper Commission in 1989-90, served as Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation at the Department of Health and Human Services in President Bill Clinton's first term; as a Senior Fellow at the Center for American Progress and today as an Institute Fellow at the Urban Institute.  Prof. Feder is an member of the Institute of Medicine, the National Academy of Public Administration, the National Academy of Social Insurance, she's a former chair and board member of AcademyHealth, the Hamilton Project's Advisory Council and a senior advisor to the Kaiser Commission on Medicaid and the Uninsured.  She received her B.A. from Brandeis University and her master's and Ph.D. from Harvard University.The Commission's report can be found via: http://www.ltccommission.senate.gov/.  Prof Feder, et al., recommendations can be found at: http://www.medicareadvocacy.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/LTCCAlternativeReport.pdf.
