Message us here!What if you've tried everything, but are still depressed? Did you know that one third of people with depression don't get enough relief from antidepressants? In this episode, I talk to psychiatrist and CMO of Neuronetics, Dr. Geoffrey Grammer, about what should people do when our mainstream treatments for depression fails us. He sheds light on new advancements for treatment-resistant depression: transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and nasal esketamine, two evidence-based treatments that target the brain differently and raise the odds after meds stall.We first talk about just how disappointing traditional medications and psychotherapies can be for chronically depressed patients. Then, Dr. Grammer explains how TMS works (precise, noninvasive brain stimulation that strengthens underactive mood circuits), what a session feels like, timelines for improvement, and why side effects are minimal compared to systemic drugs. We also explore nasal esketamine (Spravato) and how it works. Along the way, we dig into augmentation meds, common pitfalls, and the role of psychotherapy in turning short-term gains into lasting change.Real patient stories ground the science in hope: remission after years of struggle, renewed presence with family, and the hard-won confidence that life can feel different. If you've tried two antidepressants without clear progress or hate the side effects, your next step shouldn't be “another pill” - it should be to advocate for yourself with your providers and explore these new options.Resources:NeuroStar website: https://neurostar.com/NeuroStar's assessment quiz for depression: https://neurostar.com/self-assessment-for-depression/Find a doctor page: https://neurostar.com/enter-zip-code/?as=0Connect to Dr. Grammer on social:https://www.instagram.com/NeuroStarAdvancedTMS/https://www.facebook.com/NeuroStarAdvancedTMS/https://www.youtube.com/user/NeuroStarTMSTherapySupport the showIf you're navigating someone's mental health or emotional issues, join KulaMind, our community and support platform.

John C. Havens has spent years at the heart of the global conversation on AI ethics. As the Founding Executive Director of the IEEE Global Initiative on Ethics of Autonomous and Intelligent Systems, he led the creation of Ethically Aligned Design, a document that went on to influence the United Nations, OECD, IBM, and dozens of organizations shaping the future of AI. He also helped build the IEEE 7000 Standards Series, now one of the largest bodies of international standards on AI and society.Today, John serves as the Global Staff Director for the IEEE Planet Positive 2030 Program, guiding efforts that prioritize both ecological and human flourishing in technological design. But his perspective on AI doesn't begin with policy or engineering; it starts with love, vulnerability, and the deep spiritual questions that have shaped his life.Previously, John was an EVP of Social Media at Porter Novelli and was a professional actor for over 15 years. John has written for Mashable and The Guardian and is author of the books, Heartificial Intelligence: Embracing Our Humanity To Maximize Machines, Hacking Happiness: Why Your Personal Data Counts and How Tracking it Can Change the World, and Tactical Transparency: How Leaders Can Leverage Social Media to Maximize Value and Build their Brand. John is also an expert with AI and Faith. In this first part of our conversation, we discuss:How love reframes “weakness” in both human life and AI ethicsThe impact of generative AI on creativity, intellectual property, and the erosion of human craftsmanshipThe dangers of anthropomorphism in AI designWays AI systems undermine our capacity for conscious choiceHow the surveillance economy and advertising systems shape our habits and decisionsPositive psychology matters for designing technology that supports well-beingWhat dreams, virtual reality, the spatial web, data, and spiritual life have in commonTo learn more about John's work:IEEE Planet Positive 2030 Program – https://sagroups.ieee.org/planetpositive IEEE 7000 Standards Series – https://standards.ieee.org Books and resources mentioned:Heartificial Intelligence: Embracing Our Humanity to Maximize Machines (John Havens)Hacking Happiness: Why Your Personal Data Counts and How Tracking it Can Change the World (John Havens)The Age of Surveillance Capitalism: The Fight for a Human Future at the New Frontier of Power (Shoshana Zuboff)Alone Together: Why We Expect More from Technology and Less from Each Other (Sherry Turkle)This season of the podcast is sponsored by Templeton Religion Trust.Support the show
One of the biggest challenges facing HR is the perennial challenge of leadership capability. Despite years of investment in programmes, frameworks, and workshops, many organisations still struggle to see real behavioural change. The world around us is moving faster, the expectations on leaders are higher, and yet our development approaches can still feel generic, theoretical, and removed from the realities of day-to-day work. But what if technology - and specifically, AI - could help us do it differently? Instead of a one-size-fits-all course, what if every manager could have a personalised coach in their pocket that gives them real-time, practical guidance in the moment they need it most? To explore the benefits and risks of AI coaching, Lucy is joined by Anand Chopra-McGowan, Managing Director, Europe at Valence. Anand explains how Nadia, Valence's AI coach, learns your context (company principles, programmes, your team) and supports both the “small moments” such as a tricky feedback chat, and the “big moments” like onboarding and performance reviews. He shares a live example of using Nadia minutes before a meeting, why perfect memory beats good intentions, and how the tool integrates where managers already are . We dig into trust and ethics, what data Nadia uses, and how clients are measuring value - from time saved on reviews to uplift in leadership effectiveness scores and store-level customer outcomes. Anand's deployment advice is refreshingly practical: point the coach at high-friction moments in your HR calendar, customise to your ways of working, and use early wins to convert sceptics.

Dave continues our series on Hebrews by looking at chapter 4 verses 1-13. He contrasts the desire for rest (like not wanting to go to bed early as a child, or not wanting to wake up early for work as an adult) with the true, promised rest offered by God. Dave focuses on three points: – The promise of rest still stands. – That faith opens the door. – And finally, God’s word is powerful, so don’t ignore it. Finally, Dave urges us to: – Spend time reading the Bible. Use a process like P.R.A.Y. (Pause, Reflect, Ask, Yield) to allow God’s word to speak into your life – Worship and thank God for what He has done and what He is going to do – Stop striving to impress God or others, and surrender to His will – Make every effort to enter God’s rest by daily trusting and obeying Jesus.The post Dave Frodsham: God's word for promised rest first appeared on Jubilee Church Wirral.

In ‘Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts’, Rick Robertson of Jubilee Church Wirral looks at Hebrews 3:7–19, focusing on the importance of maintaining a soft heart and not falling into the unbelief that characterised ancient Israel. Rick looks at the crucial choice we face every day – whether to respond to God with an open heart (belief) or a closed heart (unbelief), mirroring the failures of the Israelites in the wilderness. Ultimately, as Rick tells us, the choice is between living life to its fullness – embracing Christ’s love – and an unthinkable devastation. The choice is always critical: “Is your heart hard or is it soft?”The post Rick Robertson – Today, if you hear his voice, don't harden your hearts first appeared on Jubilee Church Wirral.
In this episode, we have a, high-energy conversation with Molly Mulligan and Ken Savin from Space MD about how space-made crystals are changing drug development on Earth. Their team grows protein crystals on the International Space Station because in zero gravity, the structures form more perfectly, revealing details that scientists can't see on the ground. One of their first successes was Keytruda, where space-grown crystals helped refine molecular structures that shaped a blockbuster therapy. We also cover running experiments in orbit, scaling the model for everyday pharma, and what happens when microgravity becomes just another R&D tool. It's biotech, but cosmic.

America is at a crossroads — politically, economically, and technologically. In this episode of New Frontiers, Paul Johnson sits down with Eliott Pollack, Henry Thompson, and Bob Robb to unpack the forces reshaping the country.- The conversation dives into Donald Trump's tariffs and his clash with Ronald Reagan's free-market legacy, exposing how protectionism, inflation, and political rage are reshaping the U.S. economy. What does it mean when one man can raise taxes through “emergency powers”?- At the same time, artificial intelligence is rewriting the rules of the economy. Major layoffs at Amazon, Intel, and Salesforce raise questions about automation, productivity, and the future of human work. Is AI an economic threat — or America's next big growth engine?- And while Washington remains paralyzed by partisan division, Independent voters are on the rise — with Arizona leading a movement to challenge the two-party system. Can a new generation of Independents restore sanity, cooperation, and innovation to American politics?

This will be a new phase focused on what made this community matter from day one: centering caregivers, loved ones, people-pleasers, and supporters who carry the unseen weight of mental illness and addiction.I revisit the show's roots in evidence-based tools and how it grew into something braver—real stories about dating, divorce, near-death experiences, and the messy work of healing. I cover ethical storytelling, protecting privacy, and navigating the fallout when personal narratives collide with public platforms, including (gasp!) a legal threat.The heart of this episode explores identity and roles: how duos create chemistry and cages, how therapists are trained to be “non-persons,” and why an audience hungers for a human voice over a blank slate. I lay out where we're headed next—deep dives into secure attachment, nervous system regulation, family dynamics, and communication that actually works—alongside a slate of guests from neuroscience, therapy, and creative fields. Expect practical skills, warmer storytelling, and more of the full person behind the mic, from Berlin chapters to yoga studios to the moments that don't come packaged as lessons.This show remains the official podcast of KulaMind, a community made for loved ones who want connection, skills, and a place to be seen.

Good morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. Today, we're exploring a series of significant developments that underscore the rapid evolution within these industries.Starting with one of the major players, Merck, which has been strategically adjusting its focus in light of Keytruda's looming loss of exclusivity. The company has demonstrated remarkable progress with Welireg in kidney cancer trials, successfully pairing it with Keytruda. This combination therapy is a beacon of hope for Merck as it faces the challenges of patent expiration, highlighting the growing trend toward leveraging combination treatments to enhance efficacy in cancer therapies. This approach not only pushes the boundaries of cancer treatment but also paves the way for future therapeutic innovations. In contrast, Merck and Eisai have decided to cease their pursuit of a Keytruda-Lenvima pairing for a specific liver cancer subtype after failing to achieve overall survival benefits, despite earlier progress-free survival gains. Such developments highlight the inherent uncertainties in oncology drug development, where initial promising results may not always lead to long-term survival advantages.Meanwhile, Eli Lilly is making headlines with its substantial $1.2 billion investment to upgrade its Puerto Rico manufacturing facility. This move is aligned with their strategy to amplify production capabilities for oral drugs, particularly focusing on their promising GLP-1 pill, Orforglipron. The investment signifies a robust commitment to addressing diabetes and potentially other metabolic disorders through an expanded and more efficient production pipeline. Additionally, Eli Lilly's collaboration with NVIDIA aims at constructing an unprecedented supercomputer tailored for pharmaceutical research. This initiative leverages advanced computational power to accelerate drug discovery processes and enhance data analysis capabilities—a testament to how AI and machine learning are streamlining research workflows for developing more effective therapeutics.On the regulatory stage, Akebia Therapeutics has opted to cancel a trial for its anemia drug Vafseo after discussions with the FDA. This decision sheds light on the intricate challenges companies encounter while navigating regulatory landscapes and optimizing clinical trial strategies to ensure market success.In legal news, Kenvue is preparing for a lawsuit filed by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton regarding alleged deceptive marketing practices about Tylenol's safety during pregnancy and its purported link to autism risk. This case emphasizes the necessity for pharmaceutical companies to uphold rigorous scientific evidence supporting their marketing claims while navigating potential legal challenges.Strategically, WuXi AppTec's decision to divest its China-based clinical research units marks a broader industry trend of streamlining operations to concentrate on core competencies. By focusing resources on its Contract Research Development and Manufacturing Organization (CRDMO) platform, WuXi aims to leverage growth opportunities in this burgeoning sector.In a notable technological partnership, Johnson & Johnson's medical technology division and Verily have entered agreements with NVIDIA, highlighting the increasing intersection of artificial intelligence with life sciences. These collaborations are poised to advance AI applications within healthcare, potentially transforming areas such as data analysis, diagnostics, and personalized medicine.The industry is also feeling the impact of governmental actions, as evidenced by a federal government shutdown starting October 1st that has led to indefinite blocks on federal worker firings. Such political developments can significantly affect healthcare funding and policymaking processes.These stories collectively paint a piSupport the show

A historic peace deal abroad, chaos at home.From Trump's historic peace mission in the Middle East to the possibility of a lasting ceasefire in Gaza, this episode of New Frontiers dives into how Trump's diplomacy reshaped global alliances and challenged decades of U.S. foreign policy. Paul Johnson and his panel explore the shifting Arab support for Israel, the media's portrayal of Israel as the aggressor, and whether a true two-state solution is finally within reach — or just another short-term truce.Back home, the discussion turns to America's deepening divisions, the debate over deploying federal troops, and the controversy surrounding ICE and immigration enforcement. The panel also dissects Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's military speech, the Arizona gubernatorial race, and Kamala Harris's post-election reflections — all while asking one central question: Can America find peace abroad if it can't find peace at home?
This episode was recorded in Fort Wayne, Indiana, during the 2025 Tri-State Dairy Conference.Dr. Schwanke begins by describing how we can shape cattle personalities through handling and management and adapting our strategies to accommodate different personality traits so as to not cause undue stress. Personality traits are consistent across time and context, which is nuanced by the other animals in a particular group. There are five generally recognized personality traits: boldness, exploration, activity, sociability and aggressiveness. Some debate exists as to whether dominance should be considered a sixth trait or if it's just an outcome of the other five. (5:43)Dr. Schwanke's research focused mainly on how cows react to specific stressors, such as adapting to an automated milking system. In a robotic system, cows who are more independent, explorative and bold are more likely to do well. Some diversity is good because it can help to minimize long-term antagonistic interactions in a group. If we have cows that are very similar to each other, it will take longer for them to establish a social hierarchy. (10:05)The panel discusses where the research is in regard to on-farm applicability and potential genetic components of personality traits. In the future, Dr. Schwanke envisions automated assessments of cow personality through computer vision cameras in the barn, fed into an algorithm that creates a personality ranking of cows based on their behaviors. She also notes personality traits can help predict a cow's coping style: proactive, reactive and intermediate. Proactive cows are more bold, explorative and aggressive. They thrive in predictable, stable conditions. Reactive cows are more fearful, less active and less dominant. They typically do better than proactive cows in unpredictable or changing environments because they're better able to modify their behavior to the environment they find themselves in. (14:09)The panel talks about future research goals in this area, including transition to automated milking systems, modifying feed management for behavioral and nutritional requirements and impacts of commingling stress. The guests also explore behavioral research in calves and brainstorm about future research with this age group, as well as talk about potential implications of making the wrong selection decisions for personality traits. (20:08)Are there things dairy producers could do to condition calves to be more adaptable to an automated milking system later in life? If a calf is reared in an automated feeding system, do they adapt to an automated milking system more easily? We don't have the research yet to answer these questions, but they're great questions. The panel also talks about how to scale up personality trait information to large herds, how precision feeding systems and personality traits might interact and how machine learning and computer vision technology can automate personality trait assessments.

Today, Dr. Kara Fitzgerald joins me to talk about DNA Methylation. Life expectancy in the United States is on the decline. We are living for a shorter time and according to the World Health Organization, even though we have a life expectancy of 79.3 years, the average age for developing a serious illness is 63.1 years old. That means that we spend the last 16.2 years of our life ill. Aging is driven by DNA methylation, a process that influences which genes are turned on and which are turned off. We use DNA methylation as an epigenetic clock to measure biological age. DNA methylation changes as we age, to our detriment, and it's not just a surrogate marker of aging. DNA methylation appears to drive aging itself. Foods that could lower your biological age: Liver [or liver capsules] Eggs Mushrooms [shitake or enoki] Leafy greens Pumpkin seeds Blueberries Turmeric Dr. Kara Fitzgerald Bio: Kara Fitzgerald, ND, IFMCP, is engaged in clinical research on DNA methylation using a diet and lifestyle intervention developed in her virtual and in-person Functional Medicine clinic. She is the author of Younger You: Reduce Your Bio Age and Live Longer, Better, a ground-breaking work detailing an 8-week study that resulted in a 3-year reversal of biological aging, and the step-by-step program that will help you live better and longer. In her quest for personalized health care for all, she leads clients through her Younger You Program and has as a Younger You companion cookbook, Better Broths, and Healing Tonics. Dr. Fitzgerald is on faculty at the Institute for Functional Medicine [IFM] and is an IFM Certified Practitioner. She regularly lectures internationally and hosts the podcast New Frontiers in Functional Medicine. She received her doctorate in naturopathic medicine from the National University of Natural Medicine in Oregon and is in private practice in Sandy Hook, Connecticut. In this episode: How cancer hijacks our epigenetics. [4:25] Dr. Fitzgerald defines methylation and explains how it differs from DNA methylation. [9:05] Foods that are important to improve methylation. [15:45] Foods that seem to direct epigenetic traffic. [17:39] Lifestyle pieces that could favorably influence DNA methylation in addition to the diet. [19:33] Foods that could lower your biological age. [25:46] Studies show that people who drink coffee live longer. [27:44] How to exercise to help prevent aging. [30:32] Foods to avoid that could be pro-aging.

The Asteroid Hunter: A Scientist's Journey to the Dawn of our Solar System Hardcover – March 19, 2024 by Dante Lauretta (Author) Title: Genesis of a Galactic Pursuit Author: Dante Lauretta Title: OSIRIS-REx: Defining the Mission Author: Dante Lauretta Following two rejections, Dante Lauretta was tasked by Mike Drake to define the scientific objectives for a new asteroid sample return mission. Lauretta developed the acronym OSIRIS-REx, standing for Origins (astrobiology), Spectral Interpretation (astronomers' surveys), Resource Identification (resource utilization), Security (planetary defense), and Regolith Explorer. This name reflects diverse interests, from the seeds of life on Earth to asteroid impact hazard mitigation. The mission, now with a larger budget under the New Frontiers program, was selected by NASA on May 25, 2011. During this time, a gravely ill Mike Drake designated Dante as the mission's "risk mitigation," entrusting him with its leadership. 1954
