The organ donation stories are inspiring and hopeful, but Anita Slominska says they leave out one very important part of the story. When Anita's sister was in her 20s, she was on a waitlist for a liver transplant and eventually ended up in the ICU, being kept alive by a ventilator in the hopes that a donor would be found. But, that didn't happen. Anita Slominska is now a postdoctoral researcher at the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre. We talk to her about her new book, about her sister's story, Other Endings: Organ Transplantation and the Burdens of Hope.

GLP-1 medications are either wildly overhyped or harshly criticized depending on the week—and one of the loudest concerns right now is that they “cause muscle loss.” In this episode, I'm digging into what the research actually shows about lean mass changes on GLP-1s, what's being misunderstood online, and what patients and clinicians can do to protect muscle while still benefiting from these powerful therapies. To help me unpack this, I'm joined by Dr. Michael Tsoukas, Associate Professor of Medicine in the Division of Endocrinology at the McGill University Health Centre, Co-Director of the Metabolic & Weight Optimization Clinic, and a clinician-scientist whose work focuses on GLP-1 pharmacotherapy and obesity treatment. He's trained at Tufts, McGill, and Harvard, and has authored over 50 peer-reviewed publications.We talk about where the muscle-loss concern came from, how GLP-1 weight loss compares to bariatric surgery and diet-only approaches, and whether lean mass loss always reflects true functional muscle loss. We also get practical, discussing resistance training and protein targets (it's more than you may think!).If you're on a GLP-1, considering one, or prescribing them—this is a science-based conversation that separates fear from facts.Guest: Dr. Michael TsoukasWebsite: mwoc.caWORK WITH MEJoin my Weight Loss Coaching Program for women, Best Weight https://www.sashahighmd.com/bestweightRecover Strong for Binge Eatinghttps://www.sashahighmd.com/bedO​​ntario-Wide Virtual Obesity Management Clinichttps://www.highmetabolicclinic.comTaking the first step toward weight loss can feel overwhelming — but you don't have to do it alone.

That's it. My definition of project management is maximizing the result with the resources you have and using them in the best combination—the right capacity and to the right objective and the needs that you have to fulfill, and not detracting from that. And this is what it is about. So for me, it's always been a passion. I said I'm a builder. And of course, I've practiced infrastructure all my career because, for me, it was a way to deliver value, value for society. I'm a bit of an idealist, but I think that society needs value, and we're there to deliver value." – Chantal Sorel Key TakeawaysHow resilience and expertise helped Chantal navigate leadership in traditionally male-dominated industries.Why delivering value through infrastructure projects requires balancing strategy, collaboration, and societal impact.How global experience and adaptability shape effective project management practices.The evolving role of technology, including AI, in addressing the complexities of modern mega-projects.The conversation doesn't stop here—connect and converse with our community via LinkedIn:Follow Navigating Major ProgrammesFollow Riccardo CosentinoFollow Chantal Sorel Follow Shormila ChatterjeeRead Riccardo's latest at www.riccardocosentino.com Music: "A New Tomorrow" by Chordial Music.

In this episode of Haunted History Chronicles, we explore the intriguing world of spiritualism, séances, and mediumship through the story of Jenny O'Hara Pincock and the American medium William Cartheuser. Join us as Dr. Nick Richbell shares his research into the séances held in St. Catharines, Ontario, where Cartheuser communicated with spirits, captivating those in attendance. We'll discuss the significance of these séances, the spiritualist movement of the mid-20th century, and the mysterious figures involved. Tune in for a fascinating journey into the history and mystery of spiritualism and its enduring impact on those who believe. My Special Guest Is Dr. Nick Richbell Dr. Nick Richbell recently received his PhD in History from the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada. His area of research is the history of Spiritualism, and his doctoral dissertation is a biographical history about the medium Maurice Barbanell and his guide, Silver Birch. The teachings of Silver Birch are still talked about in Spiritualist churches today, however, Maurice Barbanell's name is rarely mentioned. Nick has long believed that there is more to life than an earthly existence. However, it was not until he started work as the Head of Special Collections and Archives at the University of Waterloo Library that he started to further consider the afterlife. The archives had two séance related collections. The Maines-Pincock Family collection holds records of seances conducted by the American medium William Cartheuser in the private home of Jenny O'Hara Pincock in St. Catharines, Ontario. Another collection, the Thomas Lacey Lecture collection contains over 400 lectures given by Lacey while in trance. Nick was able to bring in a new Lacey collection during his tenure at Waterloo: the Thomas Lacey séance collection: over 100 reel-to-reel tapes from the 1960s of recordings of seances conducted by Lacey in a Kitchener, Ontario home. He is often invited to give talks about his research about this magnificent collection. Nick was the research associate on the audio-documentary, The Ghost of Thomas Lacey, produced by Anthroscope Media. Originally from London, England, Nick is currently the Head of Special Collections and Archives at Clemson University in South Carolina. Prior to moving to South Carolina, Nick oversaw the Special Collections and Archives department at the University of Waterloo in Ontario. He also managed the archives of the Canadian Pacific Railway in Montreal and worked at the McGill University Archives as well as the McGill University Health Centre. In this episode, you will be able to:  1. Discover the history of Jenny O'Hara Pincock's séances and her connection with medium William Cartheuser. 2.

Thomas Lacey was born on November 4, 1895, in Glossop, Derbyshire, England. His journey into the spiritual world began early in life, leading to a lifetime of mediumship. On March 18, 1918, he married Edith Emma Lomas in Whitfield. Edith, born on September 28, 1895, was not a medium herself, but she played a vital role in supporting Thomas's work.  In the early 1920s, the Laceys made a significant move to Canada—settling in the Kitchener-Waterloo region. It was here in 1924 that Thomas began conducting séances, with Edith actively participating.  Throughout the 1960s, Thomas and Edith held séances in the home of Otto and Nelda Smith in Kitchener with attendees reporting experiencing apports, materialisations, automatic writing, and even Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP).  My Special Guest Is Dr. Nick Richbell Dr. Nick Richbell recently received his PhD in History from the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada.

Maurice Barbanell (1902-1981) was a pivotal figure in spiritualism, renowned as the founder and editor of "Psychic News," a leading spiritualist publication. His work promoted the spiritualist movement, emphasising the reality of life after death through mediums and psychic phenomena, significantly shaping public understanding and acceptance of spiritualism.

The teachings of Silver Birch are still talked about in Spiritualist churches today, however, Maurice Barbanell's name is rarely mentioned. Barbanell spent 61-years dedicated to Spiritualism and Dr. Richbell's research has started to correct this omission and put's Barbanell back into the historical discourse about him being the twentieth-century's leading propagandist of the religion and movement.

In this third pandemic summer, it's difficult to say anything about Covid that hasn't been said before. More than two years into this transformative event, we've pretty much heard it all. But that doesn't mean we've reached a state of peaceful coexistence with the virus, or an acceptance of pandemic life. In spite of all that's unfolded since news of a novel respiratory virus emerged out of Wuhan, China in late 2019, the infection has continued to surprise us and catch us off guard. Even at this late stage, with many effective vaccines and therapies and a near global consensus from authorities that it's time to roll back measures and learn to “live with the virus”, we continue to struggle with new variants, massive numbers of infections and, in spite of the many effective means of prevention and treatment at our disposal, illness and death. While many of you have probably had Covid, or at the very least know someone who has, we are by no means done with this pandemic. I've been hesitant to dedicate an episode to Covid and uncertain of the point of expending yet more energy on what is certainly the most talked about subject of the last two years. But faced with the virus's persistent and ever-changing impact on our lives, and having so many unanswered and nagging questions about our response to it, I decided it needed to be done. I chose Donald Vinh, an infectious disease clinician and researcher, as my guest for this conversation. Don is an experienced medical communicator, and a measured, rigorous voice on Covid. I came to know of him because of his vocal and unflinching but always factual assessments of our local response to Covid here in Quebec. He's also actively engaged in research on Covid, and contributed to an international study on severe Covid that was published in the prestigious journal Science in 2020 and was named one of 2020's 10 remarkable scientific discoveries by the equally prestigious journal Nature. So, he seemed like the ideal person to have on for a deep dive on Covid. Donald Vinh is an Infectious Disease specialist and Medical Microbiologist at the McGill University Health Centre. He is Director of the Centre of Excellence for Genetic Research in Infection and Immunity, and Fonds de recherche du Québec Santé Senior Scholar with a translational research program on human immunodeficiencies and genetic susceptibility to infectious diseases at the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre. His frequent media appearances have earned him a reputation as a trusted voice on infectious diseases, such as Covid-19, monkeypox, and the rare diseases he studies. He has been interviewed on many occasions by such outlets as CBC, BBC, and NPR. Don and I talked about what his research has to teach us about Covid and how it shifts the paradigm for understanding infectious diseases, his evolution as a medical and scientific communicator, and the benefits and pitfalls of Covid Twitter. ***Links: Don's selected publicationsNature's 10 Remarkable Discoveries 2020Inborn errors of type I IFN immunity in patients with life-threatening COVID-19, Science***Recorded July 19, 2022Music: Mr Smith  Art: Jeff Landman
