Science can feel isolating when you don't see yourself reflected around you. This episode brings together two stories about the search for representation, connection, and belonging in STEM.Part 1: Graduate student Angelique Allen doesn't fully understand the strong connection she feels to the 2015 animated film Home. Part 2: Growing up in segregated 1950s Baltimore, Ken Phillips learns early who society says he can't be. Angelique Allen is a graduate student at the University of Oregon, the founder of Dreams of a Scientist, and an aspiring dirtbag. She spends most of her time thinking about science, with a focus on researching octopus brains and creating art that helps integrate science into society. She spends the rest of her time sleeping in the back of her car, climbing rocks, and doing anything she possibly can to see a sea slug (including but not limited to SCUBA diving, snorkeling, and tidepooling). To follow along her scientific journey (and see what her elderly cat is up to) check her out on instagram @angeliques.outthere. Ken Phillips has served as Curator of Aerospace Science at the California Science Center in Los Angeles since 1990 and is responsible for shaping its exhibits and programs in aeronautics and space exploration. In 1991, he began planning a display of a flown space shuttle orbiter that culminated in NASA awarding the Space Shuttle Endeavour to the California Science Center two decades later. He is now working toward the opening of the 200,000 square-foot Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center for which groundbreaking occurred in June 2022. Ken has taught numerous courses in astrophysics, planetary geology, and space exploration to primary and secondary school students, and is an adjunct professor of the practice of physics and astronomy at the University of Southern California (USC) where he teaches the freshman seminar entitled “The Space Shuttle and our Place in the Universe.” Through the USC Prison Education Program, he also teaches introductory astronomy to students in correctional facilities. He received his bachelor's in physics from North Carolina A&T State University, a master's in general engineering from the University of Wisconsin, and a doctorate in environmental engineering from The Johns Hopkins University. Ken loves model trains, swimming, and bull dogs!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Few issues have tested public trust in medicine as deeply as vaccines, and few individuals have influenced that dialogue more than Dr. Paul Offit, director of the Vaccine Education Center at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and a longtime member of the FDA's Vaccine Advisory Committee. In this timely and candid interview with Raise the Line host Lindsey Smith, Dr. Offit points to this year's severe flu season and a resurgence of measles as alarming proof points of how a changing federal perspective on vaccine policy is having a real impact on public health. “You'd like to think you can educate about the importance of vaccines, but I fear at this point the viruses themselves are doing the educating.” In this wide ranging discussion, Dr. Offit also addresses: The rigorous and painstaking process of developing vaccines, based on his experience co-inventing the rotavirus vaccine. Shifting levels of public trust in scientific organizations. Promising innovations in vaccine development. Don't miss this deeply-informed perspective on the interplay of science, policy, and public education, and his encouraging message to young clinicians about managing the current challenges in public health.  Mentioned in this episode: Vaccine Education Center at Children's Hospital of PhiladelphiaPerelman School of Medicine If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

In today's episode, we spoke with Alexander I. Spira, MD, PhD, FACP, FASCO. Dr Spira is co-director of the Virginia Cancer Specialists (VCS) Research Institute in Fairfax, director of the VCS Thoracic and Phase I Program, chief scientific officer of NEXT Oncology, and a clinical assistant professor at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland.In our exclusive interview, Dr Spira discussed the significance of the December 2025 FDA approval of amivantamab and hyaluronidase-lpuj (Rybrevant Faspro), also known as subcutaneous amivantamab, for the treatment of patients with EGFR-mutated non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) across all approved indications for amivantamab-vmjw (Rybrevant). He noted key data from the pivotal phase 3 PALOMA-3 trial (NCT05388669), which showed that subcutaneous amivantamab combined with lazertinib (Lazcluze) had a more favorable safety profile compared with intravenous (IV) amivantamab plus lazertinib and was noninferior to the IV formulation in terms of efficacy. Dr Spira contextualized these trial findings within the larger EGFR-mutated NSCLC treatment paradigm and explained how this formulation of amivantamab addresses a previously unmet patient need.

People believe research matters. What they don't always see is how it shows up in their lives.In this episode of Pulse Check: The Reputation Rethink, host Dayana Kibilds digs into one of the clearest findings from Ologie's national study: across politics, geography, and education level, the public overwhelmingly agrees that research — especially in STEM and medicine — is higher education's most important contribution beyond teaching.And yet, only about two-thirds of people believe colleges and universities are actually making an impact through research.So what closes that gap? Clearer storytelling.Day is joined by two higher ed communications leaders who have built national campaigns around that exact idea:Marina Cooper, Senior Associate Vice President for Integrated Marketing and Brand at Johns Hopkins University, behind the Research Saves Lives campaignKamrhan Farwell, Senior Vice President of University Relations at Boston University, behind the You Are Why campaignTogether, they unpack how research storytelling can:Make complex work feel real and relevantBuild public trust without politicizing the messageMobilize partners across campus, government, and advancementEnergize internal communities as much as external audiences - - - -Connect With Our Host:Mallory Willsea https://www.linkedin.com/in/mallorywillsea/https://twitter.com/mallorywillseaAbout The Enrollify Podcast Network:The Higher Ed Pulse is a part of the Enrollify Podcast Network.

The 2026 Winter Olympics are unfolding in Milan and Cortina, and we can't look away: We're watching athletes fly down mountains on skis and glide — sometimes slipping and falling — on the ice. Vikram Chib studies performance and how the brain responds to rewards at Johns Hopkins University. And he says rewards aren't just for Olympians; they're baked into basically everything humans do. But those rewards and the pressure that comes with them can come at a cost to people's brains. And even Olympians are human. Sometimes, we crack. So, today, Vikram dives into the science behind choking under pressure. Interested in more Olympics science?

While virtual learning has become more prevalent since 2020, the founders of Banyan Global Learning have been offering digital learning experiences for over 20 years.Some people are excited about the possibilities technology offers. Others are backpedaling or worrying that tech does more harm than good. Like most things, the truth lies somewhere in the middle. The outcomes depend on how experiences (both virtual and in-person) are designed and how learners are asked to engage. Passive consumption rarely leads to meaningful learning, but well-structured virtual experiences can support problem solving, perspective-taking, and authentic connection across contexts. Not as a replacement to in-person experiences, but as an additional option to provide opportunities that wouldn't otherwise be possible. That's why I invited Seth Fleischauer to De Facto Leaders to talk about how to use virtual field trips to connect with peers and learn about cultures and experiences worldwide.Seth Fleischauer is the President of Banyan Global Learning, which he founded in 2008 after teaching elementary school with NYC Teaching Fellows. Banyan pioneered daily international EFL distance learning and has since expanded to train teachers and educate K-12 students across three continents. His programs focus on teaching digital and cultural competencies through a global lens and have delivered over 40,000 live teaching sessions. Seth has also hosted over 100 podcast episodes, including Make It Mindful and Why Distance Learning?In this episode, I mentioned Language Therapy Advance Foundations, my program that gives speech pathologists a framework for building language skills needed to thrive in school, social situations, and daily life.

Every exam is designed to assess an obvious array of knowledge and skills. However, much more than the obvious is often needed to truly excel. Amy and Mike invited educator Mike Settele to review overlooked test-taking skills. What are five things you will learn in this episode? What are the obvious or well-known test-taking skills?  What are some classic test-taking skills that influence the score? What are some overlooked test-taking skills?  Are any of these skills hard or impossible to improve during the test prep timeline?  What is the most important test-taking skill? MEET OUR GUEST Mike Settele is the founder of Settele Tutoring, an SAT prep company that specializes in creating user-friendly SAT resources. Mike has published thousands of hours of SAT lessons on his YouTube channel, which are watched every day by students around the world. Mike began his SAT career while an undergraduate at Johns Hopkins University, where he studied political science and philosophy. He started as a Writing section tutor for Capital Educators, a test-prep company that offers courses in the Baltimore-Washington metro area.

In this episode of the Neurocritical Care Society Podcast Hot Topics series, host Richard Choi, DO, FNCS, speaks with Wendy Ziai, MD, MPH, professor of neurology and critical care medicine at Johns Hopkins University, about the article The Association Between Hourly Systolic Blood Pressure Variability and Outcomes in Patients With Intracerebral Hemorrhage Is Time-Dependent: A Post Hoc Analysis of the ATACH-2 Trial, recently published in Neurocritical Care. Their discussion explores why blood pressure variability — not just absolute blood pressure targets — may play a critical role in outcomes following acute intracerebral hemorrhage. Dr. Ziai reviews key findings from ATACH-2 and INTERACT trials, the physiologic mechanisms that may link variability to hematoma expansion and neurologic deterioration and why the timing of variability within the first 8 to 12 hours appears especially important. They also examine the unresolved question of causation versus association, implications for antihypertensive management in the ICU and how emerging trials focused on variability may shape future practice. The views expressed on the NCS Podcast are solely those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the opinions or official positions of the Neurocritical Care Society.

Evolutionists, trying to answer creationist arguments, have suggested that there is an "error" in the design of the eye that any wise Creator would not have made. That "error" in design, as evolutionists call it, is that the retina of the mammal's eye is "inside out." The light entering the eye passes through other eye tissue before hitting the photoreceptors. But is this really an error in design?Dr. Joseph Calkins, a professor at Johns Hopkins University and a creationist, points out that the photoreceptors in mammals' eyes need the extra tissue. It provides nutrients to the retina. This is crucial, because the eye's receptors have a very fast rate of metabolism—they live out their entire lives in only about seven days!If you have ever looked at the sun and then experienced an after‑image, you have probably burned out some of your photoreceptors. However, because your photoreceptors have such a fast rate of metabolism and those extra nutrients from the eye tissue, the damaged receptors are all replaced within a few days! Besides, as Dr. Calkins points out, the tissues that lie between the light source and your retina are packed in so tightly that they are separated by less than the wave‑length of light, making them completely transparent!It seems that the evolutionists' claim that the eye is poorly designed—and thus a product of chance rather than a Creator—was based on their ignorance of how the eye needs to work. Again, the evolutionary argument falls in the light of scientific knowledge, and once more we see the witness to our Creator!Genesis 1:31"And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day."Prayer: Dear Lord, in order to avoid his own guilt, man would rather fault You, even claiming at the same time that You don't exist! I thank You that You have given me faith in Your love and forgiveness for me. I ask that my trust will always be in You and never in myself.

¿Estamos preparados para que un algoritmo decida sobre nuestra salud? En este episodio, analizamos cómo la Inteligencia Artificial está redefiniendo la detección del cáncer de mama, pasando de una lectura manual tradicional a una "Radiología Aumentada". A partir de mi reciente titulación en "Artificial Intelligence for Breast Cancer Detection" por la Johns Hopkins University, desglosamos la evidencia clínica más reciente y los retos éticos que nadie te cuenta: El impacto en los hospitales: ¿Cómo el ensayo MASAI ha logrado reducir la carga de trabajo de los radiólogos en un 44.3%? Tecnología Longitudinal: Exploramos modelos como LongiMam, capaces de analizar el historial temporal de una paciente (de T-1 a T-4) para detectar cambios sutiles que un ojo humano podría pasar por alto en una sola sesión. Los Puntos Ciegos: Por qué la IA todavía tiene dificultades con patrones como el Carcinoma Lobulillar Invasivo y qué estamos haciendo para solucionarlo. Marco Legal y Ético en la UE: La IA en radiología es considerada de ALTO RIESGO. Analizamos la responsabilidad legal del binomio médico-IA y por qué la supervisión humana sigue siendo el pilar insustituible del sistema. Este no es un debate sobre tecnología reemplazando humanos, sino sobre cómo la tecnología potencia el juicio clínico para salvar más vidas. Sobre Sergio Santamaría Ruiz: Profesional titulado en IA, Ciberseguridad y Ética Digital por instituciones como Stanford, IBM y la University of Pennsylvania. Mi labor se centra en la formación y consultoría para implementar estas innovaciones de forma segura, disruptiva y ética en el sector público y privado. 🚀 ¿Buscas una ponencia o formación experta para tu centro médico o evento?

In this special episode, Jethro Jones defends his doctoral dissertation on how school principals can use AI for innovation rather than just efficiency. The research challenges the common "save time" narrative around AI in education and introduces the concept of "cognitive equity" - using AI to expand capabilities and solve problems that weren't previously possible.Through a full-day workshop with 11 Wyoming principals, Jethro demonstrated that when professional development focuses on authentic problems rather than tools, leaders can create innovative solutions like student mental health check-in apps, digital citizenship games, and curiosity trackers. The study revealed three key barriers (time, training, and resources) and emphasized the importance of sustained, problem-focused professional development that allows for productive struggle.

This is Episode 2 of our sub-series "Environmental Issues along the Belt and Road."The series considers the complexities of Chinese actors' impacts on the environment, extractive activities, and role in driving sustainability solutions from the sands of the Mekong River to lithium mines in Argentina. Since 2012, China has invested roughly US$4 billion in 12 nickel projects across Southeast Asia, with a major focus on Indonesia, which supplies 16% of global nickel production. In South America, Chile, Bolivia, and Argentina— known as the Lithium Triangle—together hold over 54% of the world's lithium reserves beneath their salt flats as of 2024, and China is the only country to have signed agreements with all three. In this episode, we explore what makes minerals “critical” to the energy transition, how China's long-term industrial strategy and geopolitical struggles has (re)shaped global critical mineral supply chains, and, through cases of Indonesian nickel and lithium in Argentina, how stakeholders in producer countries navigate trade-offs between economic development, sovereignty, & environmental and social impacts.We interview 4 experts: Dr. Jing Li is a professor at Simon Fraser University's Beedie School of Business and holds the Canada Research Chair in Global Investment Strategy. She also serves as the Co-Director of the Jack Austin Center for Asia Pacific Business Studies.

In this episode from the Inch360 Conference, cybersecurity expert Heather Stratford explores how AI is revolutionizing phishing attacks and social engineering tactics. She breaks down the rapid adoption of AI—with ChatGPT reaching 100 million users in just two months—and explains how criminals are weaponizing machine learning, deep learning, and natural language processing to create highly personalized, sophisticated attacks.Stratford examines real-world breaches including the MGM hack and a $25 million deepfake Zoom scam, demonstrating how attackers combine voice impersonation, social engineering, and AI-generated content to bypass traditional security measures. She reveals the shocking accessibility of cybercrime tools, with AI-powered phishing kits available for just $20.The episode emphasizes that once-a-year security training is no longer sufficient. Stratford advocates for weekly micro-learning sessions, monthly phishing simulations, and role-specific training—especially for executives, accounting teams, and anyone with financial access. She stresses that while technology defenses are important, the human element remains the most vulnerable layer, making continuous employee education critical in the AI-driven threat landscape.

Is the United States a nation state? Does it have a national identity? On this episode of the Transatlantic, scholar Colin Woodard discusses his early career experiences as a journalist in Eastern Europe and the Balkans at the end of the Cold War and how that work informs his work on national identity in the United States. He then talks about his current research uncovering what he describes as eleven distinct nations that make up the United States and how their clashing cultures and traditions have defined the country's struggle to form a national story and identity.    Colin Woodard – a New York Times bestselling historian and Polk Award-winning journalist – is one of the most respected authorities on North American regionalism, the sociology of United States nationhood, and how our colonial past shapes and explains the present. Compelling, dynamic and thought provoking, he offers a fascinating look at where America has come from, how we ended up as we are, and how we might shape our future. Author of the award winning Wall Street Journal bestseller American Nations: A History of the Eleven Rival Regional Cultures of North America, Woodard has written six books including The Republic of Pirates — a New York Times bestselling history of Blackbeard's pirate gang that was made into a primetime NBC series with John Malkovich and Claire Foye – and Union: The Struggle to Forge the Story of United States Nationhood, which tells the harrowing story of the creation of the American myth in the 19th century, a story that reverberates in the news cycle today. His latest book is Nations Apart: How Clashing Regional Cultures Shattered America, released by Viking/Penguin in November 2025. He is the founder and director of Nationhood Lab at the Pell Center for International Relations and Public Policy at Salve Regina University, an interdisciplinary research, writing, testing and dissemination project focused on counteracting the authoritarian threat to American democracy and the centrifugal forces threatening the federation's stability.

Worried about what major you should pick now when AI seems to be affecting every industry? Join Anna and Mark as they sit down with Dr. Jennifer Stephan—founder of Lantern College Counseling —to demystify AI as an academic path and career field. Dr. Steven defines AI, distinguishes it from adjacent disciplines like computer science and machine learning, and discuss developing future-proof, transferable skills (critical thinking, communication, quantitative reasoning, ethics) over narrowly chasing majors, noting that only a few top programs offer undergraduate AI degrees while many CS programs can prepare students well through electives, tracks, and research.Dr. Jennifer Stephan has held various roles across top colleges and universities, including professor, academic dean, and board of admissions member. She holds a BS degree in electrical engineering from Johns Hopkins University and an MS and a PhD in electrical and computer engineering from Carnegie Mellon University.Jennifer is the founder and owner of Lantern College Counseling, an educational practice offering college admissions services, college success coaching services, and expert support for students facing serious disruptions to their educationLantern's college admissions services are based on a proprietary Deep-Fit™ approach, an innovative paradigm for the college search and application process centered on thriving as a foundation for lifelong success, developed through Jennifer's decades of experience supporting college students.To learn more and connect with Jennifer, please visit https://www.lanterncollegecounseling.com/

In this special handoff episode of Transformative Principal, host Jethro Jones announces he's passing the podcast to Mike Caldwell, founder of LinkedLeaders, as Jethro transitions to his new role as Director of Operations at Life Lab, a character education company creating video curriculum for middle and high schools—a move that aligns perfectly with his doctorate in character education, which he's defending the day after this episode airs. The episode explores why this partnership makes sense, as both Transformative Principal and LinkedLeaders focus on supporting school leaders through connection, mentorship, and learning from others' experiences, with Mike's platform connecting principals with mentors who have actually done the work they're struggling with through features like "Leadership Suites" that give districts their own dedicated spaces while accessing a broader community. Jethro shares insights about using AI tools like Open Claw to streamline operations and eliminate repetitive tasks in his new role, while both hosts emphasize a core theme: school leaders desperately need safe spaces to connect with peers who understand their challenges, since they often can't discuss struggles with staff below them or administrators above them. After 13 years and over 10 years of episodes, Jethro confidently hands off the podcast to Mike, who will continue providing valuable conversations for educational leaders worldwide.

In Armen Davoudian's casually intimate poem “Coming Out of the Shower”,  mother and son perform their morning routines in the small, shared space of their household's only bathroom. She chats and puts on her makeup, while he showers and uses her shampoo and robe — oh what rhythm, affection, and ease are to be seen in this dance they both know so well.  We invite you to subscribe to Pádraig's weekly Poetry Unbound Substack, read the Poetry Unbound books and his newest work, Kitchen Hymns, or listen to all our Poetry Unbound episodes.  Armen Davoudian has an MFA from Johns Hopkins University, and is currently a PhD candidate in English at Stanford University. His poems and translations from Persian appear in Poetry Magazine, the Hopkins Review, the Yale Review, and elsewhere. His chapbook, Swan Song, won the Frost Place Competition. Armen grew up in Isfahan, Iran, and currently lives in California.Find the transcript for this show at onbeing.org. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

“We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition,” Prime Minister Mark Carney of Canada announced last week at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.It was one of the most significant foreign policy speeches in years, sending shockwaves through the international community. He was describing a dynamic that's been building for decades — what the scholars Henry Farrell and Abraham Newman call “weaponized interdependence” — that has now reached a tipping point.I asked Farrell on the show to explain this dynamic, why this is a “rupture” moment and how other countries are responding. He is an international-affairs professor at Johns Hopkins University, is an author of the book “Underground Empire: How America Weaponized the World Economy” and writes an excellent Substack, Programmable Mutter.Note: This episode touches on the clashes over immigration enforcement in Minneapolis and the killing of Renee Good, but it was recorded on Friday, before the killing of Alex Pretti.Mentioned:“Davos 2026: Special address by Mark Carney, Prime Minister of Canada”Underground Empire by Henry Farrell and Abraham Newman“Programmable Mutter” by Henry Farrell“The nature and sources of liberal international order” by Daniel Deudney and G.
