The psychedelic revolutionWill LSD, Psilocybin, MDMA, and Ketamine treatments live up to the hype?For decades, psychedelics were derided as dangerous recreational drugs; now many claim they have the potential to revolutionise the treatment of mental health. With hundreds of clinical trials now taking place, the psychedelic therapeutic market is predicted to be over ten billion within the decade. It has been widely thought that psychedelics are effective at treating mental health because of the way they change brain chemistry. But studies from King's College London and Johns Hopkins suggest this is an error, arguing that it's the psychedelic experience that aids mental wellbeing, not the physical brain changes.Should we stop focussing on brain chemistry as the solution to mental health? What is it about psychedelic experience that can aid mental well being and will psychedelics live up to their promise and usher in a mental health renaissance? Or is the hype bubble about to burst and should we look elsewhere for the silver bullet to the mental health crisis of our age?Matthew Johnson is Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioural Sciences at Johns Hopkins University. Shayla Love is a freelance reporter and former senior science writer at Vice News, focusing on psychedelics. Kevin Sabet is the founder of Smart Approaches to Marijuana, and he has been described as the "quarterback of the new anti-drug movement".Don't hesitate to email us at podcast@iai.tv with your thoughts or questions on the episode!To witness such debates live buy tickets for our upcoming festival: https://howthelightgetsin.org/festivals/And visit our website for many more articles, videos, and podcasts like this one: https://iai.tv/You can find everything we referenced here: https://linktr.ee/philosophyforourtimesSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

BioOsteosarcoma Webinar Series: Brian Ladle, MD, PhD, Assistant Professor of Oncology and Pediatrics at The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, joins us on OsteoBites to discuss deciphering the impact of STING agonists on the tumor microenvironment in osteosarcoma.We have learned that more engagement of the immune system and osteosarcoma results in better outcomes - even when patients are given standard chemotherapy. We have found that drugs that activate the STING pathway in osteosarcoma tumors result in greater immune cell invasion into the tumors. This corresponds with improved outcomes when combined with chemotherapy and other immunotherapies. Dr. Ladle will discuss these findings and what steps we are taking to bring this closer to clinical trials for osteosarcoma patients.Dr. Brian Ladle is a pediatric oncologist, sarcoma specialist, and immunotherapy researcher at Johns Hopkins University. His research centers around the goal of generating potent immune responses against pediatric sarcoma tumors - especially osteosarcoma. Ongoing projects encompass preclinical work using osteosarcoma mouse models and osteosarcoma clinical trials in both dogs and humans. He really believes immunotherapy approaches can be effective against osteosarcoma and will become a key piece to "Make It Better" for osteosarcoma patients.

“You have to love what you do, especially in healthcare, and the earlier you find that, the better. So that's why I love to see HOSA helping young people find what it is that they want to do,” says Dr. David Kelly, a fellow in oculofacial surgery at University of California San Francisco and HOSA's board chair. You can still hear the excitement in Dr. Kelly's voice describing his earliest experiences with HOSA -- a student led organization with 300,000 plus members that prepares future health professionals to become leaders in international health – even though they happened sixteen years ago when he was a sophomore in highschool. Through hundreds of competitive events and hands-on projects, HOSA creates a framework for developing skills in communication, professionalism and leadership starting in middle school. Programs are offered throughout highschool and college as well, which Dr. Kelly took advantage of before becoming an active alumnus and joining the HOSA board as a way of giving back to an organization that has given so much to him. Since taking the reins as board chair last year, one key focus has been preparing to mark HOSA's 50th anniversary in 2026. Dr. Kelly sees the occasion as not only an opportunity to celebrate what HOSA has accomplished, but to ensure it is positioned to continue helping the healthcare industry tackle important challenges in the future. Examples include chronic workforce shortages and improving how clinicians communicate with patients and team members.  Join host Lindsey Smith on this uplifting Raise the Line episode for an optimistic look at the next generation of healthcare leaders.Mentioned in this episode:HOSAHOSA Alumni Registration If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

We are discussing perspective changes in neurology genetics with the crossover of the APOE gene in neuro and cardio as well as telehealth for neurology predictive testing. Segment 1: Is it time for a paradigm shift? Inclusion of APOE  on genetic dyslipidemia panels.   Emily Brown is a certified genetic counselor at the Center for Inherited Heart Disease at Johns Hopkins Hospital. She graduated from the University of Maryland Genetic Counseling Program in 2014 and has practiced in cardiology for the past 10 years. Her main areas of interest include dyslipidemias, and she is a member of the National Lipid Association.   Hannah Ison is a cardiovascular genetic counselor at the Stanford Center for Inherited Cardiovascular Disease. She received her Master's in Medical and Molecular Genetics from Indiana University in 2018, and returned home to California to begin her career. Her primary clinical interest includes working with patients who have inherited lipid conditions in both the adult and pediatric setting. A large part of her role has been focused on developing a Pediatric Lipid Clinic at the Stanford Children's Hospital, allowing her to care for patients across the generations. Hannah was the co-chair of the Dyslipidemia Working Group through the cardiovascular SIG from 2020-2024 where she worked with members to develop dyslipidemia resources. In addition to her work in the lipid space, she also provides inpatient and outpatient genetic counseling to patients with isolated congenital heart disease, and enjoys participating in various research opportunities.    In this segment we discuss: - APOE's relevance in both Alzheimer's and cardiovascular disease - Counseling strategies for APOE alleles (ε2, ε3, and ε4), including penetrance, lifestyle modification, and exploration of risk for conditions and symptoms external to Alzheimer's - Case studies highlighting APOE's diagnostic, variant, and treatment insights - The need for standardization, education, and reframing of APOE testing in practice Segment 2: Patient-reported outcomes for remote and in-person visits for genetic counseling in adult neurology.   Rachel A. Paul, MS, CGC and Laynie Dratch, ScM, CGC are board-certified genetic counselors who specialize in adult neurogenetics and work with the Penn Neurogenetics Therapy Center team in Philadelphia, PA (https://www.linkedin.com/company/penn-neurogenetics-therapy-center).   Rachel provides clinical and research genetic counseling services for the Division of Movement Disorders at the University of Pennsylvania. Her research interests include genetic screening for clinical trials access, remote/telemedicine genetic services, and motivations/barriers for genetics utilization. She graduated cum laude from Temple University in Philadelphia, previously worked as a genetic counseling assistant (GCA) for the Penn neurogenetics program, and completed her training with the Arcadia University (now University of Pennsylvania) Genetic Counseling Program.   Laynie's clinical focus includes frontotemporal degeneration (FTD) spectrum disorders, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and other neurodegenerative conditions. Her research interests include the lived experiences of at-risk individuals, predictive genetic testing considerations, and genetic counseling access and service delivery. She graduated summa cum laude from Colgate University with a BA in neuroscience and a minor in psychology, and completed her genetic counseling masters training at the Johns Hopkins University and the National Institutes of Health.   In this segment we discuss: - How COVID-19 pushed neurogenetics counseling from in-person to telehealth. - Why patient satisfaction stayed high across both formats, with video outperforming phone. - What drives visit preferences—travel, tech comfort, privacy, and clinical needs. - Future research to refine protocols, improve access, and explore broader applications.   Would you like to nominate a JoGC article to be featured in the show?

“We've been able to show that even by 30 days of age, we can predict with some accuracy if a child is going to have a diagnosis of autism,” says Dr. Geraldine Dawson, sharing one of the recent advancements in early diagnosis being aided by artificial intelligence.  Dr. Dawson -- a leading scholar in the field and founding director of the Duke Center for Autism and Brain Development – explains that an AI examination of a child's pattern of visits to medical specialists in its very early life is an objective diagnostic tool that can supplement the current subjective reports from parents which vary in reliability. Another objective diagnostic tool in development uses a smartphone app developed at Duke that takes video of babies watching images and applies AI-aided Computer Vision Analysis to measure for signs of autism. This enlightening Raise the Line conversation with host Lindsey Smith is loaded with the latest understandings about Autism Spectrum Disorder including advancements in early therapeutic interventions, the interplay of genetic and environmental factors, and the role of the mother's health and exposures during pregnancy. You'll learn as well about what Dawson sees as necessary societal shifts in how autism is perceived, the numerous factors contributing to a near tripling of diagnoses over the past two decades, and how early intervention and informed advocacy can make a meaningful difference in the lives of countless families.Mentioned in this episode:Duke Center for Autism and Brain Development If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

Part 4: Five Skills to Create Your Executive Functioning Intervention Framework

Are they 18 yet?â„¢

Play Episode Listen Later Aug 20, 2025 13:34


Every time I give a session on executive functioning, I have clinicians and teachers ask me the same thing:“How can I motivate students who don't seem to care or don't want to try new things?”Or something like “How can I convince students why this (insert task) is going to be important to them in the future?”The short answer is that you don't “convince” them of anything. At least not in the moment. Instead, you create the experiences and opportunities that are going to help the student acquire the skills, experience the consequences, and develop the confidence to deal with uncertainty/unfamiliar situations. When students appear resistant to try things, or seem to “not learn from past mistakes”, this can often be tied to weak episodic memory. Episodic memory—the ability to see a mental picture of a past event, allows students to think back on past experiences and use them to prepare for the future. When you struggle to do this, it's difficult to recall past mistakes or feedback in the moment. It's also difficult to think back on past experiences when you might have done something well, which may make you feel less prepared for tasks that are challenging or less familiar. This may cause nervousness or resistance toward difficult tasks if you can't “see” back into the past (episode memory) or think into the future to know what you should be doing now (future pacing). Unfortunately, on the surface, this may look like defiance, apathy, or lack of motivation. That's why in fourth episode in my “Five Skills to Create Your Executive Functioning Intervention Framework”, I discuss the fourth skill: Episodic Memory What I'll uncover in this episode:✅ The critical role episodic memory plays in executive functioning: applying prior knowledge, anticipating consequences, and adjusting behavior.✅ How difficulties with episodic memory impact a student's confidence and willingness to try new things, or their persistence with challenging tasks. ✅ Why episodic memory interacts with other executive functioning skills, including future pacing, time perception, and self-talk.In this episode, I mentioned my free training for school leaders who want to create a research-based executive functioning implementation plan for their school teams.
