In light of violent immigration enforcement in major cities like Chicago, LA and Minneapolis, immigrants around the country are wondering: could this happen in my community? In the Central Valley, waiting for an answer to that question has given way to fear and misinformation. Reporter: Kerry Klein, KVPR The LA Unified School Board is meeting behind closed doors Thursday where they're expected to discuss the status of Superintendent Alberto Carvalho.

A major measles outbreak is testing public health systems, community trust, and the power of vaccination. In this episode, Dr. Brannon Traxler, ASTHO member and Deputy Director of Health Promotion and Services & Chief Medical Officer, South Carolina Department of Public Health, shares the latest update on the state's response, with nearly 1,000 confirmed cases since October 2025. She explains why vaccination remains the cornerstone of outbreak control, how rapid case identification and contact tracing are helping to slow transmission, and what health officials are learning about spread within large, close-knit households.  Then, Heather Tomlinson, Senior Analyst of Environmental Health at the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials, breaks down the growing presence of kratom in U.S. markets. She explains its traditional use in Southeast Asia, how modern products differ from natural leaf preparations, and why highly concentrated or synthetic compounds are raising new health concerns. With federal guidance still evolving, states are developing a patchwork of policies—offering lessons for how public health can respond to emerging psychoactive substances.youtube.com/watch?v=cNt_Wgu8LqEKratom 101: What You Need to Know | ASTHOASTHO (@ASTHO) on XAssociation of State and Territorial Health Officials (@asthonews.bsky.social)Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (@asthonews) • Instagram profilehttps://www.linkedin.com/company/association-of-state-and-territorial-health-officials/ASTHO (Association of State and Territorial Health Officials)

Measles has returned to the United States. Two cases of exposure to the highly infectious virus were reported in Madison earlier this month. Host Bianca Martin sits down with longtime public radio host and new podcaster, Dr. Zorba Paster, to remind us how the virus spreads, who's most vulnerable, and how to combat misinformation around vaccines. Dr. Paster was the host of WPR's “Zorba Paster On Your Health” until its cancellation in September 2025. His new podcast is “Stay Well with Dr. Zorba Paster.”  Learn more about the sponsors of this February 25th episode: Wisconsin Chamber Orchestra Dane County Humane Society Taskrabbit

Humans aren't rational. We don't evaluate facts objectively; instead, we interpret them through our biases, experiences, and backgrounds. What's more, we're psychologically motivated to reject or distort information that threatens our identity or worldview – even if it's scientifically valid. Add to that our modern media landscape where everyone has a different source of "truth" for world events, our ability to understand what is actually true is weaker than ever. How, then, can we combat misinformation when simply presenting the facts is no longer enough – and may even backfire? In this episode, Nate is joined by John Cook, a researcher who has spent nearly two decades studying science communication and the psychology of misinformation. John shares his journey from creating the education website Skeptical Science in 2007 to his shocking discovery that his well-intentioned debunking efforts might have been counterproductive. He also discusses the "FLICC" framework – a set of five techniques (Fake experts, Logical fallacies, Impossible expectations, Cherry picking, and Conspiracy theories) that cut across all forms of misinformation, from the denial of global heating to vaccine hesitancy, and more. Additionally, John's research reveals a counterintuitive truth: our tribal identities matter more than our political beliefs in determining what science we accept – yet our aversion to being tricked is bipartisan.  When it comes to reaching a shared understanding of the world, why does every conversation matter – regardless of whether it ends in agreement? When attacks on science have shifted from denying findings to attacking solutions and scientists themselves, are we fighting yesterday's battle with outdated communication strategies? And while we can't eliminate motivated reasoning (to which we're all susceptible), how can we work around it by teaching people to recognize how they're being misled, rather than just telling them what to believe?   About John Cook: John Cook is a Senior Research Fellow at the Melbourne Centre for Behaviour Change at the University of Melbourne. He is also affiliated with the Center for Climate Change Communication as adjunct faculty. In 2007, he founded Skeptical Science, a website which won the 2011 Australian Museum Eureka Prize for the Advancement of Climate Change Knowledge and 2016 Friend of the Planet Award from the National Center for Science Education. John also created the game Cranky Uncle, combining critical thinking, cartoons, and gamification to build resilience against misinformation, and has worked with organizations such as Facebook, NASA, and UNICEF to develop evidence-based responses to misinformation. John co-authored the college textbooks Climate Change: Examining the Facts with Weber State University professor Daniel Bedford. He was also a coauthor of the textbook Climate Change Science: A Modern Synthesis and the book Climate Change Denial: Heads in the Sand. Additionally, in 2013, he published a paper analyzing the scientific consensus on climate change that has been highlighted by President Obama and UK Prime Minister David Cameron. He also developed a Massive Open Online Course in 2015 at the University of Queensland on climate science denial, that has received over 40,000 enrollments.   Show Notes and More   Watch this video episode on YouTube   Want to learn the broad overview of The Great Simplification in 30 minutes?

What if the best defense against misinformation isn't panic, but a punchline? Journalist and comedian Dave Jorgenson explores how misinformation has proliferated throughout history — from the age of Plato to the era of viral TikToks. With his own short, absurdist sketches that explain the news, he shows how humor can cut through fear, spark curiosity and explore nuanced truth.Learn more about our flagship conference happening this April at attend.ted.com/podcast Hosted on Acast.

In this episode of CleanTalk, we sit down with Randall "Tiny" Smith, a former Royal Air Force senior engineering officer turned EV and renewable energy executive.Randall's journey spans military aviation, leading 250-person engineering teams, becoming Programme Manager for the revolutionary Jaguar I-PACE, and building EV charging infrastructure across the UK retailer network at Jaguar Land Rover.We explore:- Leadership under pressure and the “Three Ts” framework (Trust, Transparency, Tailoring)- What it really took to bring a premium OEM EV from concept to production- Why EV misinformation spreads, and how narrative shapes adoption- The hydrogen debate: physics vs optimism- Government intervention, behaviour change, and the psychology of resistance- How curiosity, depth of knowledge, and platform-building intersect- Rather than framing this as advocacy, the conversation examines the structural tension between technological innovation, public perception, and political cycles, and what it means for anyone operating in the energy transition.If you work in renewable energy, transport, policy or clean tech communications, this episode aims to help you better understand the human dynamics affecting electric vehicle adoption.Enjoy! __________________ Connect with Randal on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/evchargingsolutions/Join the CleanTalk community on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/groups/12991627/ ____________________ CleanTalk is produced by Harmer Visuals, a film & media company specialising in brand & case study storytelling for organisations across the renewable energy and clean technology sector.

This Week: We got a lot to cover this week! Students across the country are seizing the moment by engaging in the democratic process and walking out of school in protest of DHS terrorism. But the pushback is here. In LA the cops are telling kids to get back on campus, and in Texas the governor is going as far as threatening districts with state takeover where kids walk out. Also, the cartoon villains over at the Heritage Foundation published their call to arms to all hatemongers to fight to overturn the Plyler v Doe decision, which granted the right to all children to access free public education -- including undocumented kids. In what can only be described as a flimsy, clearly unconstitutional, and truly wicked stance on the issue, the effort to further traumatize undocumented families continues. Lastly, we explore a fascinating piece from the folks at the Digital Inquiry Group about how we can help students navigate the cesspool of misinformation and manipulation that is the online media landscape. But, is it easier said than done?

A viral video. A smeared daycare worker. A community in panic. Sound familiar? In the 1980s, a wave of hysteria swept the country, accusing daycare workers of abusing children in Satanic rituals — accusations that ruined lives and were entirely false. Now, a dubious video out of Minnesota is sparking the same kind of moral panic all over again. To make sense of the moment, I sat down with Sarah Marshall, host of the new CBC podcast The Devil You Know, to trace the through-line from the Satanic Panic to today's daycare scandals — and ask what it says about us that we keep falling for this.

Episode DescriptionHow does political identity shape what we believe—and whether we accept democracy itself? In this episode, David speaks with political scientist Timothy Redmond, author of Political Tribalism in America: How Hyper-Partisanship Dumbs Down Democracy—and How to Fix It.Redmond reveals how modern politics has reversed the democratic ideal: instead of forming views and then choosing a party, many people adopt a party identity first and align their beliefs accordingly. This fuels motivated reasoning, selective information consumption, and perceptual biases that make people on opposite sides experience the same events in radically different ways.The conversation explores "losers' consent"—the principle that democracy depends on losing sides accepting electoral outcomes and winners governing with restraint. Redmond draws on an ancient Greek myth from the Oresteia to show how societies break cycles of retaliation through shared rules and third-party judgment, offering a powerful metaphor for modern political conflict.Why do so many people believe the media is biased against them? Redmond discusses the hostile media effect, showing that people across the political spectrum perceive neutral coverage as slanted—suggesting that perceived bias often comes from our expectations, not the reporting itself.Throughout, Redmond offers practical tools for clearer thinking: recognizing cognitive biases, evaluating political arguments, distinguishing fact from opinion, and resisting outrage-driven media. A calm, research-based conversation about polarization, democracy, and how to think more clearly in an age of tribal politics.GuestTimothy Redmond – Political scientist and author of Political Tribalism in America: How Hyper-Partisanship Dumbs Down Democracy—and How to Fix ItExcerpts from The Oresteia (2014), originally broadcast on BBC Radio 3.Source: Drama on 3: Aeschylus's Oresteia.Adaptations by: Simon Scardifield (AgaText me your feedback and leave your contact info if you'd like a reply (this is a one-way text).

Dr. Adam Dorsay introduces SuperPsyched and frames the growing misinformation problem, citing low trust in traditional media , the rise of influencer-based news consumption among 18–29 year olds, research that false news spreads faster than truth on Twitter, and the World Economic Forum ranking misinformation/disinformation as the most severe global risk in 2024 and 2025. He interviews Dr. Avi Tuschman (Stanford StartX serial entrepreneur; Stanford doctorate in anthropological science; expert on human political bias) about Cricket (C-R-I-C-K-I-T), an AI tool that provides real-time in-stream fact checks for social media videos, starting with YouTube on desktop. The discussion covers why misinformation spreads (high-arousal content, negativity bias, suggestibility, and attention scarcity), why it affects everyone (including errors/omissions/exaggerations in reputable content), and the relationship between media ecosystems, polarization, and a global democratic recession. Avi raises concerns about TikTok's influence, urging people over 30 to review its “society” content, citing examples of high-production misinformation, alleged foreign influence efforts, elevated WWII revisionism compared with Instagram (UNESCO figure of 5.7x), and medical misinformation (e.g., a study finding ~25% of asthma content has significant misrepresentations and is overrepresented in viewing). He describes Cricket's user experience as subtitle-like overlays with a pause expansion panel summarizing evidence in ~40–50 words, and positions it as a tool to build media literacy and critical thinking—like a flight simulator for evaluating persuasion and uncertainty. Plans include mobile support and additional platforms, potentially later in the year, though TikTok is not supported yet.

What happened the last time Mercury went retrograde in Pisces? Mid-February to mid-March 2020. Lockdowns. Misinformation. People couldn't leave their homes. Toilet paper shortages. Surrender because you had no choice. Now we're entering another Mercury retrograde in Pisces cycle—and nobody's talking about what's coming.This episode is about the patterns astrology reveals when you know how to read them. It's about the existential crisis AI is about to trigger when people realize their professions don't exist anymore and their entire identity (Aries) was wrapped up in what they did for work (Saturn). It's about the chasm between 1996-2026 that can never be replicated—from pre-internet to AI—and why people born in that window understand something nobody else will. It's about Uranus forcing the uplevel, human design gate 44 (smelling talent), and why 2020's "return to work" policies were actually disguised layoffs to avoid vesting stock options.Also: Perimenopause brain fog, Mercury retrograde privilege (being born with it), the delulu vs. salulu of Neptune, and why professionalism as we knew it is over.This episode covers:Mercury retrograde in Pisces last cycle: mid-Feb to mid-March 2020 (COVID lockdowns)The AI existential crisis nobody's discussing (identity wrapped in profession)What happens when your job doesn't exist anymore and you don't know who you areUranus forcing upleveling and systematizing creative chaosHuman design gate 44: the ability to smell talentThe 1996-2026 chasm (pre-internet to AI) that can't be replicatedWhy "return to work" policies were disguised layoffs (vesting stock options)Misinformation, delusion (Neptune), and surrender (Pisces)Being born with Mercury retrograde = thriving during retrogradeProfessionalism and leadership being redefined in real-timeSaturn Neptune conjunction: entering new territory (no precedent since 1989)Intuition and jumping (moving to California on in early 2011 when Uranus entered Aries)Perfect for:Anyone who lived through 2020 and feels the parallelBusiness owners preparing for AI-driven upheavalPeople whose identity is wrapped up in their professionListeners who understand astrology reveals patternsAnyone navigating the death of "professionalism" as a conceptKeywords: Mercury retrograde Pisces, 2020 parallels, AI existential crisis, professional identity, Uranus upleveling, human design gate 44, Saturn Neptune conjunction, COVID lockdown astrology, misinformation cycles, redefining professionalism, existential crisis Aries, 1996-2026 chasm, internet to AI, intuitionMentioned in This Episode:Mercury retrograde shadow begins tomorrowMercury retrograde in Pisces (mid-Feb to mid-March 2020 parallel)Eclipse readings (expire 6 PM EST Friday 2/13)Deep dive on Mercury Pisces retrograde (coming next week for email list)Rick Rubin (creative devotion)Human design gate 44 (conscious 2-line Uranus)Saturn Neptune conjunction (new territory since 1989)Uranus in Taurus (2020) - work from home, nature, Silicon Valley exodusCalifornia labor laws and return-to-work disguised layoffs

“I do not believe we should be testing to test. We have to know, is this test going to change management and is it going to make a difference,” says pediatric allergist-immunologist Dr. Zachary Rubin. His knack for providing that sort of straightforward guidance explains why Dr. Rubin has become a trusted voice on allergies, asthma, and vaccines for his millions of followers on social media platforms. It's also why we couldn't ask for a better guide for our discussion on the rise in allergies, asthma, and immune-related conditions in children, and how families can navigate the quickly evolving science and rampant misinformation in the space. On this episode of Raise the Line, we also preview Dr. Rubin's new book, All About Allergies, in which he breaks down dozens of conditions and diseases, offering clear explanations and practical treatment options for families. Join host Lindsey Smith for this super informative conversation in which Dr. Rubin shares his thoughts on a wide range of topics including: What's behind the rise in allergic and immune-related conditions.Tips for managing misinformation, myths and misunderstandings. How digital platforms can be leveraged to strengthen public health.How to build back public trust in medicine.Mentioned in this episode:All About Allergies bookBench to Bedside PodcastInstagramTikTokYouTube Channel If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

They explore both the benefits and concerns surrounding AI, emphasizing the importance of critical thinking and ethical considerations. The conversation highlights the role of AI in enhancing creativity, its implications for mental health, and the need for responsible usage in the church and beyond. Ultimately, the discussion calls for a balanced approach to integrating AI into our lives while maintaining human connection and discernment.takeawaysAI is a significant part of our culture and is here to stay.There are both benefits and concerns regarding AI's impact.AI can enhance efficiency in various tasks, including education and church activities.Critical thinking is essential when using AI tools.AI can help in creating content but should not replace authentic human creativity.The ethical implications of AI usage must be considered.AI can influence mental health and social interactions.Misinformation can be exacerbated by AI technologies.AI has the potential to free us up for more meaningful human experiences.The church must navigate AI's role in spirituality responsibly.Links: https://linktr.ee/faithandculturenowSupport: https://www.patreon.com/cw/FaithandCultureNow#AI #Technology #Ethics

Rav Asher Manning's Dvar Torah for the Weekly Email Shiur, Parshat Mishpatim 5786

What can we do when we love our country, but feel exhausted by politics and unable to understand how the government actually works? Watch the video of this episode on YouTube here. In this episode, Russell–who this guest would lovingly call a “governerd”–welcomes Sharon McMahon, who has been called “America's government teacher,” known online as Sharon Says So and through her Substack The Preamble. They talk about why so many Americans feel either helpless or furious in the public square, and what it would look like to rebuild sanity without sliding into cynicism.  McMahon explains how she stays out of partisan leanings by anchoring herself to the Constitution and to moral commitments that can critique both sides—without dehumanizing the people who vote differently. The conversation ranges from digital burnout and practical tools to build better habits to what genuine civic hope looks like, and McMahon makes a case for a “small and mighty” faithfulness: history is shaped by ordinary people who keep doing the next needed thing. Ultimately, the conversation ends with a heed: spend less energy proving you're right and more energy living in a way that makes love believable. If the churn of back-and-forth political rhetoric has you feeling whiplash, anchor yourself in this conversation, which reminds that democracy isn't sustained by viral takes or ideological purity, but by normal people doing the next faithful thing. Sharon says so. Resources mentioned in this episode: The Small and the Mighty by Sharon McMahon We Are Mighty by Sharon McMahon (releasing May 2026).

MIT and Stanford professor Alex "Sandy" Pentland, one of the most cited researchers in the world with over 165,000 citations, explains why the real AI advantage isn't smarter models but collective intelligence. It's smarter humans working together with AI as the connective tissue. Drawing from his latest book Shared Wisdom, Pentland reveals the frameworks behind community intelligence and why data ownership, not frontier AI, will determine who wins the next decade.You'll discover:✅ Why "people plus AI" consistently beats AI alone, and the hedge fund evidence that proves it✅ How "AI buddies" are replacing corporate manuals, newsletters, and hallway conversations to keep distributed teams aligned✅ The Deliberation.io tool that makes meetings more than twice as effective by neutralizing power dynamics and keeping groups focused✅ Why a 350,000-person multinational is cutting in-house staff to 150,000 while hiring 100,000 more project-based workers, and how AI enables that shift✅ How a doctor with zero technical background built a hospital operating system in 6 weeks using AI tools✅ The staggering stat: AI costs are dropping by 50% every 3.5 months, a factor of 1,000 over three years, and what that means for personal, on-device AI✅ Why China's Belt and Road and India's Citizen Stack (1.4 billion customers signed up) are quietly winning the global data game while Silicon Valley focuses on frontier models✅ Sandy's provocative proposal: a 10% equity contribution to sovereign wealth funds at company formation, which would have created a $10 trillion US fund if started in 1990⏱️ TIMESTAMPS0:00 Why AI alone loses money: the hedge fund reality check2:07 Shared wisdom, community intelligence, and organizational culture4:25 AI buddies: the brilliant librarian inside your company5:44 Deliberation.io: making meetings 2x more effective7:01 Using AI for exploration and long-range strategic thinking11:29 Who's to blame when AI fails: executives or the machine?14:28 Why AI can't do causality and what that means for leaders18:14 AI's killer app for remote work and distributed organizations21:09 A doctor built a hospital OS in 6 weeks: small teams, massive impact24:09 Job displacement, social safety nets, and the sovereign wealth fund idea27:01 Reinventing education: Costa Rica's bet and the MIT Media Lab model32:16 LLMs vs. older AI: why you need both (and the loyalagents.org initiative)37:13 Practical starting points for redesigning work with AI40:16 Misinformation, data provenance, and the billion-dollar North Korea problem48:50 The global data race: China, India, UAE, and why frontier models aren't the game54:00 Cybersecurity warning: agentic AI creates massive new attack surfaces

Jacob and the crew tear apart Super Bowl LX from every angle — how the Seattle Seahawks dominated the New England Patriots 29–13, the defensive masterclass that suffocated rookie QB Drake Maye, and how Kenneth Walker III emerged as the game's MVP for the first time by a running back in decades. We break down the key plays, the Patriots' offensive struggles, Jason Myers' record-setting five field goals, and all the big storylines your timeline is talking about today. Then it's onto the NFL MVP controversy — Matthew Stafford beat out Drake Maye by the closest margin in years for the 2025 AP MVP award, and the fallout online and in the league has been wild. We react to why the vote was so tight, what the pundits and fans are saying, and how this award feels totally separate from Super Bowl narratives yet is dominating conversations. Hosts & Guests: Jacob Gramegna is joined by professional sports bettor and CEO of The Hammer, Rob Pizzola, basketball originator Kirk Evans, and sophisticated square Geoff Fienberg for hot takes, hot mic moments, and season-defining reactions you don't want to miss.

After 30 years bridging the gap between public policy and communities, Darolyn Davis knows why most public health engagement efforts fail—and more importantly, how to fix them. In this episode of The Healthy Project Podcast, host Corey Dion Lewis speaks with Darolyn Davis, founder of D&A Communications, about the critical disconnect between well-intentioned public health initiatives and the communities they aim to serve. This conversation goes beyond surface-level community engagement to explore what it really takes to build institutional trust.Darolyn shares the pivotal moment in her career when she realized that policymakers were making decisions for communities without including the voices of those most affected. Working in the California State Legislature, she witnessed firsthand how missing perspectives—particularly women and people of color—led to unintended harmful consequences in public policy. This realization launched three decades of work focused on equity-first communication strategies, where community voices aren't just heard, but actively shape outcomes.Key Discussion Points:Why Traditional Outreach Fails Darolyn explains why treating outreach as a distribution problem rather than a relationship problem dooms most initiatives from the start. Sending mailers, holding meetings, and posting information online doesn't equal meaningful engagement—and communities see right through it.The Trust Gap in Healthcare. The conversation addresses uncomfortable truths about why communities, particularly communities of color, distrust healthcare institutions. With Black women facing maternal mortality rates 3-4 times higher than white women, and Black Americans comprising only 5-7 percent of clinical trial participants despite representing 14 percent of the population, historical and ongoing systemic failures shape present-day healthcare decisions.Measuring What Actually Matters Most agencies measure engagement success by counting meetings held or materials distributed. Darolyn argues for a completely different approach: measuring sentiment, behavioral change, and whether you've actually moved people from one understanding to another. She reveals why superficial metrics waste resources and erode trust further.Real-World Case Study: Six Years to Build Trust Darolyn shares the remarkable story of working with the Bayview Hunters Point community in San Francisco. When a public agency wanted to build a new 62 million dollar community facility, residents initially refused—they didn't trust that promises would be kept. It took six years of consistent relationship-building, honest dialogue, and demonstrating follow-through before the community agreed. The result: a state-of-the-art Southeast Community Facility that now serves as a healthcare, education, workforce training, and community hub.This case study illustrates a critical truth: meaningful change takes time, and there are no shortcuts to building trust.Institutional Responsibility vs. Personal Choice One of the most important reframings in this episode is shifting from "Why don't communities trust us?" to "What are we doing that earns trust?" When trust is treated as an institutional responsibility rather than a personal choice, the burden shifts from communities to the organizations that serve them.What Keeps Failing After 30 Years Darolyn identifies recurring problems: communities brought in too late in the decision-making process, equity treated as a checkbox, budgets too small for genuine engagement, organizations moving faster than relationships allow, and failure to acknowledge historical harms that shape current perceptions.The Question Every Public Health Leader Should Ask Before launching any campaign or initiative, Darolyn advises asking: "Who is not at the table?" This simple but profound question forces organizations to identify missing voices and perspectives before making decisions that will impact those very communities.About This Episode's Guest:Darolyn Davis is the founder of D&A Communications, an equity-first communications agency that has spent three decades specializing in public health, education, transportation, and workforce development. Her work focuses on authentic community engagement that doesn't just inform communities about decisions already made, but involves them in shaping outcomes. She built her agency on the principle that all people deserve a voice in policies that affect their lives.Why This Conversation Matters:Public health professionals, healthcare administrators, policy makers, and community organizers face increasing challenges in building trust and achieving meaningful health outcomes. Misinformation spreads rapidly, historical harms create justified skepticism, and communities increasingly push back against initiatives designed "for them" without "with them."This episode provides both diagnosis and treatment for broken engagement systems. Whether you're launching a vaccination campaign, developing health policy, running a community health center, or working in any capacity where trust matters, this conversation offers practical wisdom earned through decades of on-the-ground experience.Connect with Darolyn Davis: Website: https://davisimpact.com/About The Healthy Project Podcast: The Healthy Project Podcast brings you conversations with leaders, innovators, and changemakers in public health who are transforming how we approach community health, equity, and wellbeing.Host: Corey Dion LewisShow NotesEpisode Summary: Darolyn Davis, founder of D&A Communications with 30 years of equity-focused communication experience, reveals why most community engagement efforts fail and shares the six-year journey it took to build trust for a $62 million community facility in San Francisco's Bayview Hunters Point neighborhood.Key Topics Covered:The policy-making disconnect: Why decisions made without community input failEquity-first communication: Moving from "for communities" to "with communities"The distribution vs. relationship problem in public health outreachWhy communities feel ignored despite official "engagement" effortsTrust as institutional responsibility rather than personal choiceHistorical context of healthcare distrust in communities of colorHealthcare disparities: Black maternal mortality, clinical trial participation, pain treatmentHow to measure engagement impact beyond attendance numbersThe true cost of superficial community engagementCase study: Bayview Hunters Point Southeast Community FacilityWhat keeps failing after three decades in the fieldHow quickly trust can be lost versus how long it takes to buildSocial media's role in spreading both information and misinformationThe most important question to ask before launching any public health campaignNotable Statistics Discussed:Black women are 3-4 times more likely to die in emergency rooms compared to white womenBlack Americans represent 14% of the U.S. population but only 5-7% of clinical trial participantsBlack patients receive pain treatment approximately 22% less often than white patientsThe Southeast Community Facility project cost: $62 millionTime investment to build community trust for the facility: 6 yearsFeatured Case St...

What happens when a biblical scholar with degrees from Oxford and Exeter decides to take on misinformation where it lives... on TikTok? Dr. Dan McClellan has built a following of nearly one million people by doing something radical: telling the truth about what the Bible actually says. In this conversation, Dr. McClellan takes us on his journey from serving as an LDS missionary in Uruguay, to getting kicked out of college, to earning his PhD and becoming one of the most recognized voices in public biblical scholarship. His motto is "data over dogma," and he's not afraid to challenge the assumptions that have shaped how Christians read Scripture for centuries.This episode goes deep. We explore Dr. McClellan's argument that "the Bible doesn't say anything" on its own, and why that statement isn't an attack on faith but an invitation to read more honestly. We dig into what the Bible actually says about same-sex relationships (hint: the ancient world had no concept of sexual orientation), and we unpack what Scripture really teaches about hell and eternal punishment. If you've ever been told "the Bible clearly says" something and felt like there had to be more to the story, this conversation is for you.In this episode you will learn:- Why Dr. McClellan says "the Bible doesn't say anything" and what that means for how we interpret Scripture- The difference between how scholars study the Bible and how it's taught in most churches- What the concept of "univocality" is and why it's the foundation of most biblical misinformation- What Leviticus and the New Testament actually say about same-sex intercourse in their ancient context- Why the ancient world had no concept of homosexuality as a sexual orientation- The three different views of hell found in the New Testament (annihilation, temporary punishment, eternal torment)- Why eternal conscious torment became the dominant view and what the Bible actually indicates- How Dr. McClellan balances scholarship and faith without needing to "deconstruct"Connect with Dr. Dan McClellan:TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@maklelanInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/maklelanPodcast: Data Over Dogma- https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/data-over-dogma/id1681418502Book: The Bible Says So: What We Get Right (and Wrong) About Scripture's Most Controversial Issues — https://a.co/d/fJuNxi0Website and Online Classes: maklelan.orgPatreon: patreon.com/maklelanSubscribe to The Dig In Podcast on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thejohnnyovaFollow Johnny Ova and stay connected: https://linktr.ee/johnnyovaGrab Johnny's book, The Revelation Reset: https://a.co/d/hiUkW8H

Ever feel overwhelmed by conflicting nutrition advice? One influencer swears by seed oils while another demonizes them. Your feed is flooded with "80 grams of protein" meal challenges, and you're left wondering: what should I actually believe?In this episode, I sit down with Colleen Christensen, registered dietitian, recovering perfectionist, and the compassionate voice behind the wildly popular @No.Food.Rules Instagram account. Colleen shares her personal journey from competitive dietetics student to her struggle with eating disorders, and ultimately to becoming one of the leading voices helping people unlearn decades of diet culture programming.This conversation is a masterclass in cutting through nutrition misinformation. Colleen breaks down why seed oils have become the internet's latest villain, what's really happening with the protein obsession, and why authority bias keeps us trusting the wrong "experts." But more importantly, she shares the one thing that changed everything for her recovery: learning to experiment with food instead of following rigid rules.In this episode, you'll learn:Why reading the headline isn't enough, and how to actually evaluate nutrition studiesThe two biggest nutrition myths getting in the way of normal eating right nowHow to become your own best experiment (and why that's more powerful than any meal plan)Why the education piece matters just as much as the inspirationWhat it really means to find joy in midlife eating, beyond just saying "all foods fit"Connect with Colleen:Instagram: @NoFoodRulesRelated Episodes You'll Love:EP #137: 5 Tips for Spotting Nutrition Misinformation with Dr. Emma BeckettEP #138: 5 Things I Wish I Had Known About Intuitive Eating 10 Years AgoEP #123: You Are More Than What You Eat with Dr. Emma BeckettWhat did you think of this episode?

Chuck Eesley, a professor of management science and engineering, studies entrepreneurship across diverse contexts – from refugee entrepreneurs in Uganda to semiconductor startups navigating U.S.-China economic policy. His research on recent export controls revealed a counterintuitive outcome: Rather than solely strengthening U.S. semiconductor innovation, these policies accelerated Chinese investment in its own domestic chip industry, boosting startups there as much as – or more than – here. This finding underscores how global technology markets are deeply interconnected: Barriers can produce unintended consequences that accelerate innovation abroad rather than protecting it at home. Open technology trade and investment create larger markets for American innovations, strengthen collaborative partnerships, and demonstrate that interconnected markets drive progress for all participants. “Entrepreneurial talent exists everywhere,” Eesley tells host Russ Altman on this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast.Have a question for Russ?

In this episode, we sit down with three disinformation researchers whose new paper found something surprising about both our resistance and our susceptibility to both true news we wish was fake and fake news we wish was true.Our guests are three of the scientists exploring a newly named cognitive distortion, one that every human being is prone to exhibiting, one that is so common and so easily provoked that nefarious actors depend on it when distributing disinformation and propaganda.Samuel Woolley, Katie Joseff, and Michael Schwalbe will share their methods, findings, and takeaways. They will also explain the troublesome nature of something they are calling concordance over truth bias – a distortion that most often appears in those who have the most (undeserved) confidence in their own (not-so-objective) objectivity. - How Minds Change- Show Notes- Newsletter- David McRaney's BlueSky- David McRaney's Twitter- YANSS Twitter- Why Do We Share Our Feelings With Others?- Concordance Over Truth Bias- Samuel Wooley- Katie Joseff- Michael Schwalbe- Geoffrey Cohen Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
