For the first time in decades, US officials confirmed new cases of the New World screwworm: a flesh-eating parasite that eats living tissue from the inside out and can cross over to humans. As the government prepares emergency declarations and a $750 million fly factory in Texas, McCullough Foundation epidemiologist Nicolas Hulscher reveals the not-so-surprising, over-the-counter medication that he says “provided more than 97% protection against screwworm infestations in wounds under real-world conditions.” But because it's so cheap and easily available, you will likely never hear about it in the headlines. In this special episode hosted by Dr. Kelly Victory, Nic Hulscher discusses the New World screwworm, ebola, and breaks down the meteoric rise of alpha-gal syndrome (meat allergies) and its connections to bio-engineered ticks. Nicolas Hulscher is an epidemiologist and administrator at the McCullough Foundation. He earned a Master of Public Health degree with a specialization in epidemiology at Michigan School of Public Health. He has contributed to the publication of more than 25 scientific studies, advancing understanding of COVID-19 vaccine injuries, childhood vaccine injuries, cancer treatments, SARS-CoV-2, and H5N1 avian influenza.

From Evidence to Action: Incorporating Disability Inclusion in Medical Training and Practice (ICAM 2026) Session Description The ICAM Series | Recorded Live at the International Congress on Academic Medicine (ICAM) What does it take to move disability inclusion from research and policy into everyday medical training and practice? Recorded live at the International Congress on Academic Medicine (ICAM) in Ottawa, Canada, this special episode of the Docs With Disabilities Podcast brings together an extraordinary panel of physician leaders, educators, and advocates working to transform disability inclusion across undergraduate medical education, residency training, and clinical practice. Together, the panel explores how institutions can move beyond awareness and compliance toward meaningful, sustainable change. Drawing from scholarship, systems leadership, and lived experience, they discuss the realities of accommodation implementation, the importance of centralized and trusted systems, faculty training, universal design, and the role of culture in shaping whether disability inclusion succeeds or stalls. This conversation asks difficult—but necessary—questions: How do we create systems that are consistent and humane? How do we support learners and physicians across transitions and career stages? And how do we build medical environments where disability is expected, planned for, and valued? Rich with practical insight and grounded in real-world experience, this live ICAM session highlights a field at an important turning point—one where we increasingly have the evidence, the tools, and the responsibility to act. Whether you are a learner, educator, physician, administrator, or institutional leader, this episode offers concrete ideas and inspiration for advancing disability inclusion within your own environment.

Trained as a family physician and dedicated to resilience through sustainable practice development, Dr. Lavitt also offers coaching and peer support to family physicians on advocacy, disability, and well-being through the Ontario College of Family Physicians (OCFP). She established the first peer support group for physicians with chronic illness and/or disabilities at the OCFP in 2024 and continues to co-lead this group monthly. While she finds working with individual physicians and small groups deeply rewarding, this intervention is not enough to dismantle the system of barriers that disabled physicians face in our medical culture, so Dr. Lavitt brings her professional and lived experience as a disabled physician to advocacy initiatives at her academic institution, provincial, and national levels with involvement in peer support projects, webinars, and conference appearances.

This week, the DOJ indicted Dr. Fauci's senior advisor Dr. David Morens for destroying federal records and hiding communications, allegedly to protect the COVID-19 “natural origins” narrative and bury what health officials knew in 2020. This marks the historic first criminal prosecution of a top pandemic official. “We are all smart enough to know to never have smoking guns, and if we did we wouldn't put them in emails,” Dr. Morens allegedly wrote in June 2020. He encouraged NIH colleagues and EcoHealth Alliance president Dr. Peter Daszak to communicate with him via Gmail – specifically to avoid FOIA requests. Dr. Kelly Victory joins Dr. Drew to expose the massive FDA cover-up of VAERS safety signals recently revealed by Senator Ron Johnson, detailing how officials allegedly masked severe adverse events from the public. Epidemiologist Nicolas Hulscher breaks down the alarming rise in young adult cancers, the controversial link to pesticides, and why the latest studies on Paxlovid spell disaster for Big Pharma. Dr. Kelly Victory is Chief of Emergency & Disaster Medicine at The Wellness Company.

In dentistry, many problems aren't caused by the procedure itself—they come from what wasn't discussed before treatment started. In this episode, Kirk Behrendt brings back Dr. Dennis Hartlieb, a general dentist and educator, to share four communication tips that help you set expectations, reduce misunderstandings, and protect the practice before you ever pick up a handpiece. You'll learn how to give patients clearer choices, document risk the right way, talk through outcomes without creating fear, and spot red flags before they become bigger problems—listen to Episode 1019 of The Best Practices Show!Main Takeaways:Give patients two options to simplify decisions and prevent overwhelm.Explain material choices in simple terms (composite as “plastic,” porcelain as “glass”) and connect each to tradeoffs.Set yourself up for success by having the key conversations before you start treatment, especially on higher-risk cases.Sell the benefits of the recommended treatment before you explain what can go wrong.Use photos and brief chart notes (like “reviewed photograph of crack with patient”) to document the condition and the conversation.Watch for red flags like patients who fight you on treatment, arrive with multiple splints, or evaluate dentistry with magnification.Manage expectations for single-tooth esthetics by defining “social distance” success and planning for follow-up adjustments.Snippets:00:00 Why communication before treatment matters.01:00 Meet Dr. Dennis Hartlieb and what he teaches.02:10 Dennis explains his practice focus and Dental Online Training.04:10 Dennis shares his connection to Buddy Mopper and composite dentistry.06:10 The two-option framework for a chipped anterior tooth.07:20 “Plastic vs. glass”: how to explain composite vs. porcelain in patient language.09:35 What Dennis says when patients ask, “What would you do, doc?”12:45 Managing cracked teeth: using pre-op photos to document unpredictability.16:25 Sell the benefits first, then discuss the risks.18:05 Missing tooth conversations: step-by-step options without overwhelming patients.20:35 Why Dennis limits choices to two options at a time.25:10 Red flags: patients who resist treatment or “know dentistry too well.”28:05 Splints, magnifying mirrors, and when to step back from treatment.31:20 Setting expectations for single-tooth matching in the esthetic zone.34:45 Fee levels based on esthetic difficulty and patient expectations.36:20 Why Dennis prefers composite veneers for control and predictable revisions.39:00 Final lesson: ask questions, truly listen, and pull on the thread.41:15 Where to find Dennis: Dental Online Training and YouTube.Guest Bio/Guest Resources:Dr. Dennis Hartlieb is a graduate of the University of Michigan School of Dentistry.

Ralph welcomes RJ Cross from USPIRG to discuss the Trouble in Toyland 2025 report. Then, Ralph speaks with truck safety activist Marianne Karth about the need for stronger truck safety regulation. Plus, the RNRH team has a spirited debate about spectator sports.R.J. Cross is the Director of the Our Online Life program, Don't Sell My Data campaign, and U.S. PIRG Education Fund. Her work as a writer and researcher ranges from the risks of commercialization of personal data, to consumer harms like scams and data breaches, to emerging threats from AI. In her work as a Policy Analyst at Frontier Group, she has authored research reports on government transparency, consumer debt and predatory auto lending, and has testified before Congress.A lot of the toys we found either claim to be or are using one of OpenAI's chatbots. Even though OpenAI has said that its products are not for kids under the age of 13—but they're allowing their chatbots to be used in toys, which are products by definition for children. So there's a real discrepancy here. OpenAI's just not taking nearly as much responsibility for these failures as we think they should be. And then the toymakers are clearly just moving way too fast and really are not putting out products that are ready for primetime.R.J. CrossThat's what the attitude has been: we put it out, we watch what happens, and then we make adjustments as the public or as regulators demand it to happen. So I think that dynamic is terrible. I think it's really harmful. We'd much rather we see the precautionary principle—which is where a company should take safety really, really seriously up front and do more holistic testing before it releases to the public. But so far, that's not really the attitude you see, especially in Silicon Valley.R.J. CrossFor as challenging as working with Congress is these days (and even as across the political spectrum it's hard to find something to agree on) I think “AI-powered teddy bears should not talk to your kids about sex” has been very effective. Everyone can be on the same page about that, right? And so it's been really fun to get to talk to all sorts of decisionmakers and media outlets, who—everyone wants to tell the same story that this is not okay and big tech isn't taking safety seriously. Everyone agrees on that.R.J. CrossMarianne Karth graduated from the University of Michigan School of Public Health with an MPH in Health Behavior and Health Education in 1979. She worked for a variety of nonprofit organizations in program administration before raising and teaching her nine children at home. After losing two of her daughters in a car crash in 2013, Karth and her husband, Jerry Karth, became involved in advocacy for safer trucks and changes to truck underride regulations.There's often a “blame the victim” [narrative] that goes on and [policymakers] say it's not their responsibility. And they'll say it's often the fault of the four-wheeler. They basically do not want to take responsibility for it. And part of the problem is that for underride protection, it's not like crash-worthy features like seatbelts or airbags that are on the vehicle that's being protected. It's on the vehicle that we collide with. By the way, when an underride occurs, it cancels out all the effectiveness of all those crash-worthy features built into cars.Marianne KarthUnderride deaths are very undercounted because there's not even a checkbox in most state crash report forms for underride. So it's very undercounted, but there are, at minimum, 600 per year. And this is a known, unreasonable risk. And engineers who love to solve problems—they've solved the problem. They know how to solve the problem. So it's a preventable problem.Marianne KarthFor years we've been urging our listeners to form these Congress watchdog groups. It can start small and build from a letterhead, really get the attention of their members, summon their members to town meetings created by the citizenry with their own agenda, and confront their Senators and Representatives directly… See what you can do in your congressional district. No one can stop you from doing that, for heaven's sake. You always have to start the struggle for justice in ways that nobody can stop you.Ralph Nader Get full access to Ralph Nader Radio Hour at www.ralphnaderradiohour.com/subscribe

The Trump administration ended the White House Department of Environmental Justice, which was launched under the Biden administration. The new administration said that the concept of “environmental justice” falls under the umbrella of DEI initiatives, which it seeks to abolish. The former chief environmental justice officer for the Biden White House is in Rochester on Friday. We're joined by Jalonne White-Newsome to discuss her views on what environmental justice is — and is not — and why she still thinks it matters.

Across the United States, dozens of state governments have attempted to establish their own efficiency initiatives, some molded in the image of the federal Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). A common theme across many of these initiatives is the "stated goal of identifying and eliminating inefficiencies in state government using artificial intelligence (AI)" and promoting "expanded access to existing state data systems," according to a recent analysis by Maddy Dwyer, a policy analyst at the Center for Democracy and Technology.To learn more about what these efforts look like and to consider the broader question of AI's use in government, Justin Hendrix spoke to Dwyer and Ben Green, an assistant professor in the University of Michigan School of Information and in the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy, who has written about DOGE and the use of AI in government for Tech Policy Press.

Today, Hunter was joined once again by Professor Eve Primus. This time, Eve joined the show to discuss her newest law review article “Burdens of Proof in Criminal Procedure.” At first glance, this might seem like a boring, technical legal topic, but the burden of proof is often the only thing that matters in a criminal trial. As Eve points out, the entire case can hinge on who has to prove what and when they have to prove it.

Spar was born and raised in the suburbs of New York City, attending public schools. A violinist since age 6, he earned his bachelor's degree in music education from Ohio State University, graduating in 1994. That same year, he went to Daytona Beach to teach at Turie T. Small Elementary School, where more than 90 percent of the students lived in poverty. The music teacher soon found his voice as an advocate and has worked ever since on behalf of public school students, schools, teachers and education staff professionals. “I could not read when I was in first grade,” Spar recalls. “I struggled in school. But the educators in my life were empowered to make my success a priority, and that's just what they did. I want the same world for my family and for all of Florida's children.” At Turie T. Small, Spar served as school-improvement chair for two years and as a union steward for seven years. He would go on to become president of his local union in May 2003 and led Volusia United Educators until he was elected FEA vice president in 2018. In September 2020, he was named FEA president after the previous president, Fedrick C. Ingram, was elected secretary-treasurer of the American Federation of Teachers. During his 15 years leading the Volusia union, Spar negotiated 14 contracts, handled numerous grievances and arbitrations, and spent many long hours advocating for members and working families. In 2017, he led the merger of the Volusia Teachers Organization and the Volusia Educational Support Association to create Volusia United Educators(link is external). The new union has nearly 3,800 members and represents more than 6,000 teachers, paraprofessionals and office specialists in Volusia County Schools. Throughout his career, Spar has served on committees and task forces for the AFT. At FEA, he spent eight years on the executive cabinet. He also has served on the executive board of the Florida AFL-CIO(link is external) and was secretary-treasurer of the organization from January 2016 until September 2020.

How can technology creates new possibilities for transgender people? How do trans experiences, in turn, create new possibilities for technology? Trans Technologies, (MIT Press, 2025) by Dr. Oliver L. Haimson, explores how and why mainstream technologies often exclude or marginalize transgender users. Trans Technologies describes what happens when trans people take technology design into their own hands. Dr. Haimson, whose research into gender transition and technology has defined this area of study, draws on transgender studies and his own in-depth interviews with more than 100 creators of technology—including apps, games, health resources, extended reality systems, and supplies designed to address challenges trans people face—to explain what trans technology is and to explore its present possibilities and limitations, as well as its future prospects.Dr. Haimson surveys the landscape of trans technologies to reveal the design processes that brought these technologies to life, and to show how trans people often must rely on community, technology, and the combination of the two to meet their basic needs and challenges. His work not only identifies the role of trans technology in caring for individuals within the trans community but also shows how trans technology creation empowers some trans people to create their own tools for navigating the world. Articulating which trans needs and challenges are currently being addressed by technology and which still need to be addressed; describing how trans technology creators are accomplishing this work; examining how privilege, race, and access to resources impact which trans technologies are built and who may be left out; and highlighting new areas of innovation to be explored, Trans Technologies opens the way to meaningful social change. Our guest is: Dr. Oliver Haimson, who is an Assistant Professor at University of Michigan School of Information (UMSI) where he directs the Community Research on Identity and Technology (CRIT) Lab, and is affiliate faculty with the Digital Studies Institute (DSI) and a Senior Fellow at the Center for Applied Transgender Studies (CATS). He is a recipient of a National Science Foundation CAREER award, and a Henry Russel Award. Our host is: Dr. Christina Gessler, who is the producer of the Academic Life podcast.

Our programs reflect our commitment to advancing policies that put patients first and safeguard the health and freedom of every family. Nearly 25 years as an emergency medicine physician has provided Dr. Rob Davidson with a wealth of knowledge in practicing health care. Two years ago, however, he decided that he needed more. He began pursuing a Master of Public Health degree in the online Population and Health Sciences program at the University of Michigan School of Public Health. “I've always been right at that point of health care where you meet people at significant moments in their life,” said Davidson, a West Michigan-based physician. “The ER seems far removed from the goals of population health and public health, but you come to realize just how much people's wider world has an impact on what brought them to the ER at that point in time.” Davidson pondered earning his master's degree for a while, having seen colleagues who earned their MPH go on to impact local health outcomes. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, he knew that pursuing an MPH was the right next step. Michael A. Cohen has been a columnist for the Boston Globe on national politics and foreign affairs since 2014.

The Trump administration continues to escalate its authoritarian assault on higher education, free speech, and political dissent—and university administrators and state government officials are willingly aiding that assault. On the morning of April 23, at the direction of Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel, law enforcement officers, including FBI agents, raided the homes of multiple student organizers connected to Palestine solidarity protests at the University of Michigan. “According to the group Students Allied for Freedom and Equality (SAFE), agents seized the students' electronics and a number of personal items,” Michael Arria reports at Mondoweiss. “Four individuals were detained, but eventually released.” In this urgent episode of Working People, we speak with a panel of graduate student workers from the University of Michigan and Columbia University about how they and their unions are fighting back against ICE abductions, FBI raids, and top-down political repression, all while trying to carry on with their day-to-day work. Panelists include: Lavinia, a PhD student at the University of Michigan School of Information and an officer in the Graduate Employees Organization (GEO); Ember McCoy, a PhD candidate in the School for Environment and Sustainability at the University of Michigan and a rank-and-file member of GEO and the TAHRIR Coalition; Jessie Rubin, a PhD student in the School of Arts and Sciences at Columbia University and a rank-and-file member of Student Workers of Columbia (SWC); and Conlan Olson, a PhD student in Computer Science at Columbia and a member of the SWC bargaining committee.
