It's easy to take for granted how much social media pervades our lives. Depending on the survey, upwards of 75-80 percent of Americans are using it daily—not to mention billions of people around the world. And over the past decade, we've seen a major backlash over the various failings of Big Tech. Much of the ire of policymakers has been focused on content moderation choices—what content gets left up or taken down. But arguably there hasn't been much focus on the underlying design of social media platforms.What are the default settings? How are the interfaces set up? How do the recommendation algorithms work? And what about transparency? What should the companies disclose to the public and to researchers? Are they hiding the ball?In recent years, policymakers have started to take these issues head on. In the U.S. more than 75 bills have been introduced at the state and federal level since 2023—these bills target the design and operation of algorithms, and more than a dozen have been passed into law. Last year, New York and California passed laws attempting to keep children away from “addictive feeds.” Other states in 2025 have introduced similar bills. And there's a lawsuit from 42 attorney generals against Meta over its design choices. While Congress hasn't done much, if anything, to regulate social media, states are clearly filling that void—or at least trying to.So what would make social media better, or better for you? Recently, a group of academic researchers organized by the Knight Georgetown Institute put out a paper called Better Feeds: Algorithms that Put People First They outline a series of recommendations that they argue would lead to better outcomes. Evan is joined by Alissa Cooper, co-author of the paper and Executive Director of the Knight-Georgetown Institute. She previously spent over a decade at Cisco Systems, including in engineering roles. Her work at KGI has focused on how platforms can design algorithms that prioritize long-term user value rather than short-term engagement metrics.

Within the KGI program I teach co-regulation as a full format communication skill that's rooted in your own self regulation and awareness, defined by your personal and professional boundaries and directed by curiosity and discernment. These things are accessible to all of us with practice. Co-regulation on its own is simply how our nervous system influences and is influenced by others.This is a very important understanding for fitness professionals because the success in the fitness industry depends on your ability to connect with people, to build trust and rapport. Ultimately all wellness businesses are businesses or relationships. And of course all relationships are built on communication, relationships of any kind but especially in terms of trauma informed work. Cultivating skills around how we communicate, how we read other people, is one way we can expand our professional credibility and elevate our authority across any format.  You may have heard the saying “no one cares how much you know until they know how much you care.” This is exactly what our goal is when we are trying to hold space and offer safe co-regulation.It's time to stop working out and start working IN. You found the Work IN podcast for fit-preneurs and their health conscious clients. This podcast is for resilient wellness professionals who want to expand their professional credibility, shake off stress and thrive in a burnout-proof career with conversations on the fitness industry, movement, nutrition, sleep, mindset, nervous system health, yoga, business and so much more. I'm your host Ericka Thomas. I'm a resilience coach and fit-preneur offering an authentic, actionable realistic approach to personal and professional balance for coaches in any format.

DNA Today's host Kira Dineen is also the host of the PhenoTips Speaker Series. This monthly live webinar focuses on relevant genetics topics by featuring discussions with thought leaders and experts in genomic medicine. In this podcast episode we are sharing an installment of the PhenoTips Speaker Series, “The Future of Genetic Counseling”.This episode features Past President of the National Society of Genetic Counselors, Amy Sturm, and Past President of the American Board of Genetic Counseling, Erynn Gordon. Amy and Erynn draw on their decades of experience in genetic counseling to prepare for the fast approaching future of genetic counseling. As genomics become common practice in mainstream healthcare, clinical genetics is expected to expand from focusing on rare diseases to common and preventable and/or treatable conditions. While the details and timeframe of this transition is unknown, it is clear that genetic counselors are poised to champion this change and transformation. To prepare for this fast approaching future, PhenoTips invited Amy Sturm and Erynn Gordon to share their experience-based insights.Erynn Gordon is currently the Founder and President of Ripple Genetics Consulting, with prior VP and Presidency roles at Genome Medical, 23andMe, and the Coriell Personalized Medicine Collaborative. With 20 years of experience, Erynn has been deeply engaged in the genetic counseling community, having served as past president of the American Board of Genetic Counseling and on the Board of Directors for the National Society of Genetic Counselors.Amy Sturm is a Genetic Counselor and Professor within the Genomic Medicine Institute at Geisinger with nearly 20 years of experience in the field of genetic counseling. Amy was the 2019 President of the National Society of Genetic Counselors, and currently serves as the Chair of the Advisory Board to the NIH All of Us Research Program's Genetic Counseling Resource and Co-Chair of the NLA Genetics Working Group. In addition, she is on the NLA Scientific Statements Committee and the American Heart Association's Advocacy Coordinating Committee and Genomic and Precision Medicine Leadership Committee of the Council on Genomic and Precision Medicine.In this discussion with Kira Dineen, Amy Sturm, and Erynn Gordon will draw on their experiences to provide insights on:Historic and current uses of technology in genetic counsellingFuture applications of technology that can shape the practice of genetic counsellingThe role population genetics will play in precision medicineChallenges and barriers to mainstream integration of genetic counsellingThe themes covered in this Speaker Series session were inspired by the Laura Hercher 2020 paper, “Pondering the future of genetic counseling: An adolescent field comes of age”.As an amendment to the chatbots portions of the panel discussion, Amy Sturm would like to clarify that her collaborations with Clear Genetics began in 2017. During the discussion, she misspoke and stated that chatbots have been around since 2007.Stay tuned for the next new episode of DNA Today on November 19th where we learn about Prader-Willi Syndrome.

Putting his gap years to good use, Chris became a flight paramedic and worked within numerous EMS systems, giving him the insight to think about the future of EMS, to consider the challenges within those systems, and to advocate for what we can do as future physicians to address these issues.

The third episode in our series on the Keck Graduate Institute (KGI) of Applied Life Sciences, the 7th of the Claremont Colleges founded in 1998, features a discussion with Sheldon “Shelly” Schuster, KGI's 2nd President, and Jim Sterling, a founding faculty member who has held many leadership roles at KGI, including PhD Program Director. They describe the dramatic evolution and growth of the Institute, from a single program, the Master of Business and Science, with 45 students, to today when the have a wide and growing range of graduate degrees in the life sciences. Many of the initial expansions were natural outgrowths of the MBS, including a Master's in BioProcessing, a post-grad certificate for pre-meds, and one to prepare bioscience post docs to enter industry. More recently they have been adding highly regulated health science programs – i.e. PharmD, Occupational Therapy, Physician Assistant – but giving each an innovative KGI twist. They also discuss their innovative partnerships with Biocon Academy in India and serving as the host institution for Minerva Schools, the global undergraduate degree program that will be the subject of our next podcast.
