Unul dintre dosarele deschise de președintele Donald Trump odată cu revenirea sa la Casa Albă este cel cu privire la programul nuclear al Iranului. Sîmbătă va avea loc în Oman a treia întîlnire dintre SUA și Iran pentru negocieri pe această temă. În 2015 a fost încheiat un acord nuclear internaţional între Iran, pe de-o parte, şi SUA, Rusia, China, Marea Britanie, Franța și Germania pe de altă parte (JCPOA). Acordul prevedea suspendarea unor sancțiuni în schimbul renunțării Teheranului la programul său nuclear. În 2018, în timpul primului său mandat, preşedintele Donald Trump a retras Statele Unite din acest acord şi a reintrodus sancţiuni pentru Iran. Care au fost consecinţele retragerii Statelor Unite din acordul nuclear cu Iranul? Cu ce se prezintă acum la negocieri fiecare parte, la ce nu sînt dispuşi să renunţe pe de-o parte americanii, pe de altă parte iranienii? Cum priveşte Israelul apropierea diplomatică dintre SUA şi Iran? Care sînt şansele să vedem un acord între SUA şi Iran? Am întrebat-o pe Ioana Constantin-Bercean, expertă în Orientul Mijlociu, cercetătoare la Institutul de Științe Politice și Relații Internaționale Ion I. C. Brătianu al Academiei Române (ISPRI).De ce a retras Donald Trump Statele Unite din acordul cu Iranul în 2018?Ioana Constantin-Bercean: „Cred că a fost o greşeală strategică a administraţiei Trump, pentru că acel acord controla programul nuclear al Iranului. Republica Islamică Iran, ca stat semnatar al Tratatului de Neproliferare Nucleară, la fel ca România şi toate cele peste 150 de state semnatare ale acestui NPT, au dreptul să-şi dezvolte programe nucleare civile. Singurele state care au legal voie să dezvolte program nuclear militar sînt acelea din grupul P5 (SUA, Rusia, China, Marea Britanie, Franța). Iranul era limitat, prin acel JCPOA, să îmbogăţească uraniu pînă la 3,67%, spre deosebire de toate celelalte state semnatare ale Tratatului de Neproliferare, care pot îmbogăţi uraniu în scop civil pînă la 20%. Acest acord se întindea pe o perioadă de 15 ani. A fost cel mai complex şi mai strict acord de control al programului nuclear semnat vreodată. Dar Donald Trump, pe de-o parte a spus că doreşte să pună pe masă un acord mai bun şi a explicat atunci de ce, în viziunea domniei sale, acel acord – semnat în timpul administraţiei Obama – nu este bun. Şi putem privi şi din perspectiva aceasta, că dorea să facă lucrurile mai bine decît Barack Obama, care primise Premiul Nobel pentru viziunea lui de neproliferare nucleară şi de remodelare pacifistă a Orientului Mijlociu. Dar, pe de altă parte, dacă ne uităm în urmă, în prima administraţie Trump erau foarte mulţi diplomaţi şi oameni politici foarte porniţi împotriva Iranului şi care îşi doreau foarte mult un război cu Iranul, din diverse motive. Influenţat probabil de ce se îtîmpla în jurul lui, influenţat de lobby-ul israelian, nu trebuie să ne ferim să spunem asta, Donald Trump a decis să retragă unilateral SUA din acord, în mai 2018, promiţînd că va pune pe masă un acord mai bun. Dar nu cîştigat un al doilea mandat şi nu a reuşit să facă acest lucru în termenul promis de domnia sa.”Cum se uită acum Israelul la aceste apropieri dintre SUA şi Iran?Ioana Constantin-Bercean: „Este una dintre cele mai bune şi necesare întrebări. Pentru că ştim că Israelul şi, în principal premierul Benjamin Netanyahu, s-a opus de la început semnării unui acord nuclear între SUA şi Iran. Dar să ne amintim de a doua vizită a premierului Netanyahu la Washington, acum două săptămîni şi de discuţia din Biroul Oval cu presa. Atunci a spus ceva foarte important, ceva ce nu a mai declarat niciodată public: a spus că în ceea ce priveşte Iranul este de acord cu o soluţie diplomatică, după modelul libian.”Apasă PLAY pentru a asculta interviul integral!O emisiune de Adela Greceanu şi Matei Martin  Un produs Radio România Cultural  

「ローマ教皇の葬儀　岩屋外相が参列する方向で最終調整　アメリカ・トランプ大統領、ウクライナ・ゼレンスキー大統領など各国首脳も参列見通し」　26日に執り行われるローマ教皇フランシスコの葬儀について、日本政府からは、岩屋毅外相が代表として参列する方向で最終調整していることがわかった。複数の政府関係者が明らかにした。葬儀は、26日にバチカンのサンピエトロ大聖堂前の広場で執り行われる。アメリカのトランプ大統領、ウクライナのゼレンスキー大統領など、各国の首脳も参列する見通し。岩屋外相は葬儀参列後、27日からアメリカ・ニューヨークで開催されるNPT（核拡散防止条約）の準備委員会などに出席する方向で調整している。

Bom dia! A pílula de hoje é sobre como as atualizações normativas impactam diretamente as soluções de prevenção contra incêndios, especialmente quando falamos de portas de saída de emergência.Muita gente ainda aplica conceitos antigos sem entender o contexto em que foram criados. A verdade é que materiais, tecnologias e usos mudaram — e as normas precisam acompanhar essa evolução. A NPT 11, por exemplo, está sendo revisada para esclarecer dúvidas sobre vão-luz, porta pivotante, pantográfica e outros detalhes que fazem toda a diferença na funcionalidade das rotas de fuga. Entender o “porquê” das exigências é o que diferencia um bom projeto de um projeto que salva vidas.Quer saber mais?Episódio completo aqui: PREVCAST 274.

This Day in Legal History: Nuclear Non-Proliferation TreatyOn March 5, 1970, the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) officially took effect, marking a major milestone in global efforts to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons. The treaty, first opened for signatures in 1968, was ratified by 43 nations and established a framework based on three core principles: non-proliferation, disarmament, and the peaceful use of nuclear energy. Under its terms, nuclear-armed states agreed not to transfer nuclear weapons or technology to non-nuclear states, while non-nuclear countries pledged not to pursue nuclear weapons. In return, signatories were guaranteed access to nuclear energy for peaceful purposes, such as power generation and medical research. The treaty also called for eventual nuclear disarmament, though progress on this front has been slow and uneven. The NPT has since become one of the most widely adhered-to arms control agreements, with 191 countries now party to it. However, key states like India, Pakistan, and Israel never joined, while North Korea withdrew in 2003. The treaty's effectiveness has been challenged by nuclear programs in states like Iran and North Korea, as well as concerns over compliance by nuclear-armed signatories. Despite these challenges, the NPT is reviewed every five years at Review Conferences, where nations assess progress and negotiate future commitments. The treaty remains central to international non-proliferation efforts, balancing national security interests with the goal of reducing nuclear threats worldwide.In his primetime address to Congress, President Donald Trump defended his aggressive tariff policies, claiming they would generate significant revenue and restore economic balance. He downplayed concerns over rising consumer prices, characterizing them as a temporary inconvenience. While Trump briefly addressed inflation, blaming high costs on his predecessor, he provided few concrete solutions. Instead, he focused on politically charged topics like immigration and cultural issues, declaring an end to "wokeness." His speech coincided with growing economic concerns, including stagnating factory activity and declining consumer confidence, while markets reacted negatively to escalating trade tensions. New tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China sparked fears of inflation and economic slowdown, though his administration suggested potential relief for North American allies. Trump also called for the repeal of the Chips Act, arguing tariffs were more effective in boosting domestic industry. He promoted energy independence but proposed long-term projects unlikely to have an immediate impact. Meanwhile, his executive actions have rapidly reshaped government policies, sparking bipartisan concerns. The speech underscored Trump's efforts to push his economic agenda while navigating political and economic challenges.Trump Hails Tariffs as US Economy Barrels Into Trade WarsThe U.S. Tax Court ruled that a $3.1 million grant given to a Cantor Fitzgerald subsidiary after the Sept. 11 attacks is taxable income. The grant, provided in 2007 through New York City's World Trade Center Job Creation and Retention Program, was meant to help businesses recover, but the court determined it did not qualify as a tax-exempt gift or disaster aid. Despite this, the court waived $211,000 in penalties, acknowledging the complexity of tax laws at the time. Cantor Fitzgerald, which lost 658 employees in the World Trade Center attacks, had argued the funds should not be considered taxable, citing past Supreme Court rulings. However, Judge Kathleen M. Kerrigan found that the payments were not an act of disinterested generosity but an effort to stimulate economic recovery. The IRS had initially determined in 2007 that the company owed about $1.1 million in taxes for not reporting the grant on its tax returns. While Cantor Fitzgerald contested the classification, the court upheld the IRS's position, reinforcing that government aid programs do not automatically qualify for tax exemption.Cantor Fitzgerald's Sept. 11 Relief Grant Deemed Taxable IncomeFederal judges are facing an increase in threats as Elon Musk and Trump allies intensify their attacks on the judiciary over rulings that hinder White House policies. The U.S. Marshals Service has warned judges about heightened security risks, especially as Musk has repeatedly criticized judges on his social media platform, calling them “corrupt” and “evil.” Some judges have received anonymous deliveries, like pizzas, in what authorities see as intimidation tactics. Musk's posts, along with calls from Republican lawmakers to impeach certain judges, have coincided with a rise in violent threats, particularly against judges who have blocked parts of the administration's plans to cut government jobs and aid programs. One judge, Amir Ali, received death threats after ruling against a Trump executive order, with online users calling for his execution. The American Bar Association and the Federal Judges Association have condemned these attacks, warning that continued intimidation could undermine judicial independence. Since 2020, threats against federal judges have more than doubled, and legal experts caution that targeting judges for their rulings could destabilize the rule of law.Exclusive: Judges face rise in threats as Musk blasts them over rulings | ReutersTwo Trump EPA nominees are facing Senate scrutiny over the agency's possible plan to roll back the 2009 “endangerment finding,” which forms the legal basis for regulating greenhouse gas emissions under the Clean Air Act. The nominees, Aaron Szabo and David Fotouhi, would oversee efforts to reverse this finding, which has supported climate regulations on power plants and vehicle emissions. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin has recommended reconsidering the finding to the White House, though details remain undisclosed. While the Supreme Court's 2007 ruling in Massachusetts v. EPA confirmed greenhouse gases as air pollutants, the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act further solidified the EPA's authority. However, the EPA under Trump previously avoided overturning the rule due to industry resistance. Some industry groups, like the Edison Electric Institute, have expressed reliance on EPA authority for emissions regulation, while automakers have yet to take a position. Zeldin acknowledged the EPA's authority to regulate greenhouse gases but suggested it is not obligated to do so, fueling debate over the agency's future climate policies.Top EPA nominees face Senate scrutiny over plan to undo key climate finding | Reuters This is a public episode.

Dr. Frank N. von Hippel, Senior Research Physicist and Professor of Public and International Affairs emeritus of the Program on Science and Global Security at Princeton University's forthcoming book is, “Ending the Nuclear Arms Race – A physicist's quest.”  The world has 9 nuclear states and over 10,000 nuclear weapons. The Doomsday Clock sponsored by the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists is now 90-seconds before striking midnight.  DoD spends over $125 million per day to maintain our nuclear stockpile. Rather than spend trillions to modernize nuclear weapons, we should reduce them. A key player has been the United Nations, through its treaties and conferences, in reducing nuclear threats. The UN Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT) concluded in 1970 is the major treaty.  Today's weapons are far more powerful and devastating than the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945.  Recommendations: No First Use of nukes; 2) Get away from launch on warning posture.

A lot of people think that morning erections are triggered by erotic dreams, or a need to pee, but in fact they're a physiological reflex linked to sleep. That's right - they're not dependent on sexual arousal at all. And in a somewhat similar way, women actually also experience increased blood flow to the clitoris during the night. Now, the scientific term for a nighttime erection is nocturnal penile tumescence, or NPT for short, and men get a few each night on average. They occur during REM sleep phases, which make up around 20% of total sleep time.  What exactly is REM sleep? Are you saying it's an involuntary reflex then? What if I stop experiencing morning erections? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions! To listen to the last episodes, you can click here: Is the gut really our "second brain"?

Pensions Experts Offering Businesses Free Pop-up Pension Advice Centres Moneycube.ie is inviting business owners and employees across Ireland to register their interest in receiving one-to-one retirement planning advice with a visit from its Pop-Up Pension Test Centre. The Pop-Up Pension Test Centre initiative forms part of Pensions Awareness Week 2024 (PAW24), which runs run this week until Friday, September 28. The pop-up events can be booked during PAW24 but can run any time over the coming months across all workplaces in Ireland. As part of the offer, the Moneycube.ie team will visit the offices of businesses around the country to conduct National Pensions Tests (NPTs) and provide one-to-one information sessions on a variety of financial well-being topics. Launched to mark the beginning of PAW24, the new NPT is designed to gauge people's readiness to start a pension. It also will test their knowledge of how to track the performance of their investments, their readiness for retirement, and their understanding of optimal employee benefits. The theme of PAW24 is: 'You wouldn't ignore your NCT; why neglect your NPT?' With that in mind, and to raise awareness about retirement planning, Moneycube.ie is also offering a free will to all those who take the test. It is expected that after the NPT, employees will have a more complete understanding of why they should start a pension, their pension contributions, the company benefits to which they are entitled, and how much income they will need enjoy a comfortable retirement. To register to host a free Pop-Up Pensions Test Centre for PAW24, businesses are requested to fill out the online form. The NPT is also available online via the PAW24 website, www.pensionsawarenessweek.ie, along with the NPT Calculator, an online dashboard that helps people calculate the savings they will need for retirement. PAW24 is a designed to raise awareness about retirement planning and to help people take charge of their long-term savings. Backed by a host of business industry partners, PAW24 is an initiative from Moneycube.ie, experts in the pensions industry. PAW24 partners include including New Ireland, Standard Life, Zurich Life, the Retirement Planning Council of Ireland, Ibec, the Small Firms Association, and Royal London Ireland.

Ireland ranked 8th in the world in terms of cybersecurity and internet privacy knowledge, according to new research by the cybersecurity company NordVPN. They excelled at creating strong passwords (97%) but struggled to identify the privacy issues of using AI at work (3%). The annual National Privacy Test (NPT) is a global survey aimed to evaluate people's cybersecurity, online privacy awareness, and educate the general public about cyber threats and the importance of data and information security in the digital age. It gathered 25,567 responses from 181 countries this year. "As the digital threat landscape evolves faster than ever, it is important that internet users understand the significance of safeguarding their personal information. The National Privacy Test takes the responsibility to educate people globally about cyber threats and equip them with essential tips to protect against fraud, data harvesting, surveillance, and other online dangers," says Marijus Briedis, chief technology officer (CTO) at NordVPN. These countries rank in the top three for internet privacy and cybersecurity awareness: 1. Singapore (62/100) 2. Finland and Lithuania (61/100) 3. Germany and the United States (60/100) However, this year's results showed that the world's online privacy and cybersecurity awareness continue declining over the last few years. "Technological advancements might be overwhelming for some people, which may make them struggle to keep up. Convenience-driven online applications become more ingrained in our daily lives, and people often prioritize ease of use over privacy, unintentionally exposing themselves to risks. Even though it's concerning to see a decline in global internet privacy awareness, this trend only confirms the growing need for more education in protecting our personal data online," says Briedis. Irish people tend to create strong passwords but fail with privacy issues related to AI The results of the test showed that Irish people are good at creating strong passwords (97%) and dealing with suspicious streaming service offers (96%). They also know which permissions should be granted to different apps (92%) and how devices might get infected with malware (90%), or which sensitive data to avoid sharing on social media (88%). However, only 3% of Irish people are knowledgeable about what privacy issues to consider when using AI for work, and only 11% know what data ISPs collect as part of the metadata. Additionally, Irish people are mostly unaware (12%) of how to secure their home Wi-Fi network, most likely considering it safe by default. Finally, only one in five Irish people know where to store passwords safely, for example, in tools like password managers. Among Irish people, 2% are Cyber Wanderers (barely know anything about internet privacy and cybersecurity), while the biggest proportion (62%) scored 50-74 points and were identified as Cyber Adventurers, someone who knows quite a lot about but still has room for improvement. The number of knowledgeable Cyber Stars in Ireland fell by 4% this year. What are the key changes in the Irish results since last year? Compared to 2023, fewer Irish people understand the security benefits of updating apps as soon as the update is available. While in 2023, 70% said they update an app as soon as an update is available, this year, it's 48%. However, more Irish people are aware of how to deal with phishing attacks (57% in 2023 vs. 68% in 2024). Among English-speaking countries, Irish participants knew better than the US, Australian, and Canadian participants where to store passwords safely. Also, this year the UK took the 5th place. People ages 30-54 are best at global internet privacy awareness The global NPT score hit 58% this year, which shows the decrease in the world's online privacy and cybersecurity awareness, compared to 2023 (61%) and 2022 (64%). Key global takeaways: People ages 30-54 have the best cybersecurity skills, with most Cyber Stars in this age group. ...

Charles Moxley is the principal of Moxley ADR, a law firm specializing in arbitration and mediation. He is an Adjunct Professor of Law at Fordham Law School. His recent treatise on “Nuclear Weapons and International Law” highlights the major challenges with nuclear weapons.   The UN's Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty has kept the numbers down somewhat; however, some countries are looking at upgrading their aging nuclear stockpiles that will cost trillions of dollars. Years ago the US spent $150 million per day on maintaining the aging nuclear stockpile. 90% of the 13,000 nukes today are held by Russia and the USA.  Media, educational system, and Members of Congress must be educated regarding the potential threat. Several Congresspeople and politicians put out misinformation that we could do a limited nuclear exchange. As an example, former president Donald Trump cavalierly said he would destroy North Korea with nuclear weapons, which displays his ignorance of the issue.

A lot of people think that morning erections are triggered by erotic dreams, or a need to pee, but in fact they're a physiological reflex linked to sleep. That's right - they're not dependent on sexual arousal at all. And in a somewhat similar way,  women actually also experience increased blood flow to the clitoris during the night. Now, the scientific term for a nighttime erection is nocturnal penile tumescence, or NPT for short, and men get a few each night on average. They occur during REM sleep phases, which make up around 20% of total sleep time.  What exactly is REM sleep? Are you saying it's an involuntary reflex then? What if I stop experiencing morning erections? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions! To listen to the last episodes, you can click here: Is the gut really our "second brain"?

Today Harvey and Jim catch up and follow up with the alumni and student involved in the protest on the Vanderbilt campus. Harvey targets Boeing putting profit over passenger safety. We also reflect on an interview between Aaron Mate and Norman Finkelstein from six years ago about the Palestinian right to resist, the right to defend themselves. Veterans for Peace also has another letter, this time to Biden, calling out his violations of the Symington Glenn amendment in providing aid to a nuclear state (Israel) that has not signed on to the NPT. We finish up with a new song from Dave Rovics.

Join us for part two of our conversation with Nikki Pederson, a talent scout and coach, and fearless 'late bloomer,' takes us through her new transition, from owning her own agency to helping women succeed in business and life. We discuss the perils of social media with Nikki's first-hand accounts, from pernicious trolls to the world of internet fame. Her latest project, the 'Dumbing Down of America' series, serves as a testament to her bravery and commitment to respectful dialogue.  Her stories range from high school cliques, and her roles in the beauty pageant system, to encouraging young acting talent on to some of the world's famous stages, always moving forward with purpose and vulnerability. Nikki leaves us with a reflection on the balance between personal boundaries and the universal desire for connection, her thoughts on prominent Americans ranging from Maya Angelou and Oprah, to Kim Kardashian. 00:00 - Start01:08 - Why it's "In Vogue" to be mean03:45 - "Dumbing Down of America"04:55 - The guy showing off his obesity on the internet08:20 - Body Image and Self Care11:08 - The boy testing toys online12:23 - "I'm in a transition in my life"13:12 - Thelma and Louise14:25 - Dude Perfect and Basketball Tricks 16:30 - The Pageant System and Mrs. Texas20:10 - "I've got something to say, and I'm going to say it."24:14 - The false image of perfection on social media33:39 - The Kardashian family36:40 - School outfits and Italian fashion42:02 - Faking confidence in High School45:46 - No longer a fan of Oprah50:15 - Maya Angelou said54:20 - Trashing Harry and Meghan57:40 - Our Next Guest and K9s4kids    

Ward Wilson, founder and executive director of RealistRevolt, is widely acknowledged as one of the leading sources of innovative pragmatic arguments against nuclear weapons.  The title of his recent book is “It Is Possible: A Future Without Nuclear Weapons.”  Nuclear weapons, of which there are about 13,000, are some of the most devastating threats on Earth.  The nine nuclear countries are: the USA, Russia, China, UK, France, North Korea, Israel, India and Pakistan.  The main thrust of his book is that while damage and destruction of nukes is real, their utility and importance have been exaggerated. The United Nations has been in the forefront in promoting treaties, such as the Non-Proliferation Treaty, to limit or eliminate nuclear weapons. Izumi Nakamitsu, Under-Secretary General of UN Disarmament Affairs, leads the effort to forestall a new nuclear arms race. In 2017, the UN began a process on a treaty for the prohibition of nukes.

This Day in Legal History: Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty Takes EffectOn this day in legal history, March 5 marks a pivotal moment in the realm of international law and global security. In 1970, the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) officially took effect, following its ratification by 43 countries. This landmark agreement represented a monumental effort by the international community to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons and to promote peaceful uses of nuclear energy.The NPT, negotiated during the height of the Cold War, aimed to forestall the proliferation of nuclear weapons and to ensure that nuclear technology for peaceful purposes, such as energy generation, would be shared freely, under appropriate safeguards. It established a framework based on three pillars: non-proliferation, disarmament, and the right to peacefully use nuclear technology.As a cornerstone of international security, the treaty created a distinction between nuclear-weapon states (NWS) and non-nuclear-weapon states (NNWS), with the former committing not to transfer nuclear weapons or other nuclear explosive devices to any recipient, and the latter agreeing not to receive, manufacture, or acquire such devices.Over the years, the NPT has faced challenges, including criticisms over its perceived inequality between nuclear-armed and non-nuclear-armed states, concerns about compliance, and the emergence of nuclear-armed states outside the treaty. Despite these challenges, the NPT remains a critical element of the international legal framework aimed at reducing the nuclear threat and promoting global peace.The treaty's review conferences, held every five years, provide a forum for its parties to assess its implementation, address emerging challenges, and reinforce their commitment to its objectives. As of today, the NPT has been ratified by 191 countries, making it one of the most widely adhered-to arms control agreements in history.The effectiveness of the NPT in preventing the proliferation of nuclear weapons and promoting disarmament has been a subject of debate. However, its role in establishing norms against proliferation and fostering dialogue on nuclear issues cannot be overstated. The NPT's entry into force on March 5, 1970, stands as a testament to the international community's ongoing quest for a safer, more secure world free from the threat of nuclear war.President Joe Biden's administration is set to finalize a rule significantly reducing credit card late fees to $8, a measure aimed at alleviating financial pressures on households and bolstering his reelection campaign by addressing everyday costs. This initiative, estimated by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) to save 45 million people an average of $220 annually on penalties, is part of a broader effort announced during a White House Competition Council meeting. The efforts include tackling deceptive practices in the agriculture sector and misleading pricing strategies across various industries, demonstrating Biden's commitment to reducing living expenses for Americans.These steps are part of Biden's broader strategy to combat inflation and improve his approval ratings by focusing on reducing costs that directly impact middle-class and working-class families. The reduction in credit card late fees, from the current $30 for a first missed payment and up to $41 for subsequent ones within six months, to a flat $8, is expected to cost credit card issuers up to $9 billion of the annual $12 billion they earn in late fees.The rule also aims to eliminate the automatic adjustment of fees for inflation, opting instead for adjustments based on market conditions. CFPB Director Rohit Chopra criticized the excessive late fees enabled by a loophole, indicating the rule's introduction to counter unreasonable charges. Despite anticipated legal challenges from banking trade groups, the administration has made adjustments based on industry feedback and remains optimistic about the rule's implementation.Furthermore, the administration is addressing issues beyond credit card fees, such as proposing a ban on bulk billing for broadband services in apartment buildings and introducing new rules to protect farmers from unfair practices by meatpackers, highlighting an extensive effort to ensure fair competition and protect consumers and small businesses from exploitative practices.Biden to Finalize Rule to Cap Credit Card Late Fees at $8The California Supreme Court is set to hear a significant case involving the Los Angeles Lakers, the National Hockey League, and a concert promoter, Another Planet Entertainment, in a bid to secure insurance coverage for losses incurred during the COVID-19 pandemic shutdowns. This case, which could influence billions of dollars in insurance claims, centers on whether the presence of COVID-19 on an insured's premises constitutes "direct physical loss or damage to property" under commercial property insurance policies. Vigilant Insurance Co., owned by Chubb Limited, contends that the virus's temporary presence, being a readily removable substance, does not meet the criteria for "direct physical loss or damage."Another Planet Entertainment argues that the COVID-19 virus physically alters and damages property, challenging the dismissal of its lawsuit against Vigilant for breach of contract, bad faith, and fraud. The dispute highlights a broader debate within the legal and insurance sectors over the application of "all risks" coverage to pandemic-related losses, with potential widespread implications for the insurance industry.Trade groups warn that mandating coverage for economic losses without structural property damage could adversely affect California policyholders and the insurance market, citing estimates of massive financial impacts. This case is one of three COVID insurance-coverage disputes the California high court agreed to review, signaling a critical juncture in how pandemic-related insurance claims are adjudicated.Entities such as the NHL and Major League Baseball are closely watching the outcome, as they too seek compensation for pandemic-induced financial losses. The case's resolution could redefine the scope of insurance coverage for businesses affected by COVID-19, with a decision expected within 90 days of the oral arguments.Covid Coverage Case Heads to Argument With Billions on the LineThe U.S. Supreme Court delivered a unanimous verdict siding with Donald Trump, which prevented states from excluding candidates for federal office from ballots based on a constitutional provision regarding insurrection. However, this unanimous decision masked a deeper division within the Court, reflecting ongoing ideological splits on significant issues. Despite agreeing on the outcome, the justices were at odds over their reasoning, particularly concerning the enforcement of the 14th Amendment's Section 3, which addresses disqualification from office for engaging in insurrection or rebellion. The Court ruled that enforcement of this provision is a matter for Congress, not individual states, aiming to prevent inconsistent eligibility decisions across the country. Nonetheless, four justices expressed concerns that the majority opinion unnecessarily limited the scope of enforcement to federal legislation, a move criticized as overreaching given the current polarized political climate. This ruling underscores the complex dynamics within the Supreme Court, as it navigates divisive legal questions amidst national polarization. The decision, while technically fostering a sense of unanimity, actually highlights significant reservations among the justices about the majority's approach and the implications for future enforcement of the 14th Amendment. The case not only reflects the Court's internal divisions but also its increasingly prominent role in political debates, with potential long-term implications for how insurrection-related disqualifications are handled.US Supreme Court ruling in Trump ballot case showed unanimity, not unity | ReutersIn my latest column, I delve into the pressing issue of sales tax evasion facilitated by "zappers," electronic sales suppression tools that manipulate sales records to avoid sales tax remittance. Highlighting the necessity for state revenue departments to adopt a more proactive stance rather than relying solely on post-hoc enforcement, I argue for the importance of transparency and public awareness. I discuss how listing problematic point-of-sale (POS) software, akin to the IRS's practice with tax shelters, could deter tax evasion by making the risks known to businesses and software providers alike.The adoption of such transparency measures, I suggest, could not only foster a more compliant business environment but also shift the focus towards prevention rather than punishment. By maintaining publicly accessible lists of POS systems under scrutiny, state revenue departments can signal to businesses the importance of choosing their software wisely to avoid unintentional entanglement in tax evasion schemes.However, I also caution against the potential for undue scrutiny of businesses merely for their association with a POS system known to have zapper capabilities. I highlight the fine line between proactive measures and the risk of penalizing innocent business owners who may unwittingly possess software capable of sales suppression.I propose a balanced approach that encourages collaboration between state revenue departments and the business community, advocating for the provision of guidance and support to help businesses navigate the complex landscape of tax compliance. By fostering an environment of mutual trust and cooperation, we can ensure a fairer and more efficient tax system that benefits all stakeholders.Tax ‘Zappers' Warrant Transparency by State Revenue Departments Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

Welcome back to Analyze Scripts, where a psychiatrist and a therapist analyze what Hollywood gets right and wrong about mental health. Today, we are joined by Dr. Jessi Gold to analyze season two of "Yellowjackets." In this episode we discuss cults, schizophrenia, catatonia and the ghastly depiction of ECT. We see many different depictions of trauma responses in this season, some from psychological stressors and others from their worsening physical state. Were you as shocked as we were to learn the mouse is actually dead? Was that a hallucination due to starvation or psychological trauma, the answer is probably both. "Yellowjackets" keeps us guessing and cringing through all nine episodes this season, but we are ready for a break and hope the actors are practicing some self care! We hope you enjoy! Instagram Tik Tok Website [00:10] Dr. Katrina Furey: Hi, I'm Dr. Katrina Fury, a psychiatrist. [00:12] Portia Pendleton: And I'm Portia Pendleton, a licensed clinical social worker. [00:16] Dr. Katrina Furey: And this is Analyze Scripts, a podcast where two shrinks analyze the depiction of mental health in movies and TV shows. [00:23] Portia Pendleton: Our hope is that you learn some legit info about mental health while feeling like you're chatting with your girlfriends. [00:28] Dr. Katrina Furey: There is so much misinformation out there, and it drives us nuts. [00:31] Portia Pendleton: And if someday we pay off our student loans or land a sponsorship, like. [00:36] Dr. Katrina Furey: With a lay flat airline or a major beauty brand, even better. [00:39] Portia Pendleton: So sit back, relax, grab some popcorn. [00:42] Dr. Katrina Furey: And your DSM Five and enjoy. Back to another episode of Analyze scripts. We are so excited to once again be joined by Dr. Jesse Gold today to talk about the second season of Showtime's hit show Yellow Jackets. Thanks so much for coming back, Jesse. [01:12] Dr. Jessi Gold: Thanks for having me. [01:13] Dr. Katrina Furey: I do have to say, this show is really messed up. I feel like season one was a lot, and then we sort of watched it really quick to record our first episode and then watch season two really quick. And I was like, I had to take some breaks, I'll be honest, along the way, because it got really intense really fast. [01:34] Portia Pendleton: Yeah. [01:38] Dr. Katrina Furey: Maybe like a two out of ten on a scale of one to ten. So not like fully this season. [01:43] Dr. Jessi Gold: I think it was like last season, they were like, this is a show about cannibals, but you never saw it. [01:50] Dr. Katrina Furey: Right? [01:50] Dr. Jessi Gold: This season was like, remember when you're walking? [01:54] Dr. Katrina Furey: Here it is. Yeah, here it is. [01:58] Dr. Jessi Gold: They danced around it in a way that was like, fine last season. And this season they were like, all. [02:04] Dr. Katrina Furey: Right, here you go. [02:06] Dr. Jessi Gold: And there are definitely parts where you're like, yeah, I can't watch it. [02:10] Dr. Katrina Furey: Yes, I know. I told Portia when we were watching it, I stopped right around when Shauna was about to deliver the baby because I was so scared they were going to eat the baby. I was like, I can't watch that. And I think you actually had to tell me. They don't I looked up the spoiler. [02:28] Portia Pendleton: Yeah, they post on their TikTok, right? Like, the cast being like, we do not eat the baby. You can watch it, I guess, trigger non warning. And I was like, we do a. [02:38] Dr. Katrina Furey: Lot of things, but that's where we draw the line. Gosh. So, I mean, I think we have to get started since this was really early in the first episode, ECT and the depiction of ECT. Right. Like, you probably felt as good about that as I did, which is not very good. [02:57] Dr. Jessi Gold: It is the first time I was disappointed. [03:00] Dr. Katrina Furey: Yeah, right. [03:02] Dr. Jessi Gold: Last season, I was really excited about all of their mental health portrayals, and I thought they were really thoughtful, and their trauma portrayals were really thoughtful. So I was super excited for this season, despite yes, I'm not, like, a creepy show person, so it's not like surprising that that wouldn't be my genre of choice, but I really liked it for a lot of the reasons I was talking about health wise. And so watching that and seeing that so early on, I was like, oh no, taking such a wrong, unnecessary turn. And yeah, I think inherently if you came back from something catatonic possible, you got ECT, right? [03:43] Dr. Katrina Furey: Right. [03:44] Dr. Jessi Gold: The actual treatment of choice for being like catatonic, I think who has schizophrenia or some version of a psychotic right, comes back catatonic. It seems we have like a tiny, tiny, tiny glimpse in that. [03:57] Dr. Katrina Furey: I was going to ask you. I thought it was catatonia as well. Porsche, are you familiar with catatonia as much? How would you describe catatonia, Jesse, to someone who doesn't know what that word means, they're different forms. [04:09] Dr. Jessi Gold: Some people have hyperactive, completely not moving. [04:14] Dr. Katrina Furey: Speaking kind of like Lottie, like Lottie. [04:17] Dr. Jessi Gold: Looks like she had it can be a reaction to a lot of things, like medication, like psychosis, like some medical issues inside, internally, like a medical issue. I haven't seen it a ton of times, but I have seen it sometimes it amazingly responds to just like an act. [04:36] Dr. Katrina Furey: Have you ever seen that? Because that is amazing. So portia. Sometimes when you're catatonic, these people are usually brought to the Er and people are either like they're not moving or eating or they're going to the bathroom on themselves. They literally can't move from here to five inches away, or they're like they're being really bizarre and bouncing off the walls and making weird noises and just such a drastic change in behavior really acutely quickly, like for an unknown reason. And then eventually catatonia gets on the differential and you think, let's give them a little Addivan. And so you'll give them like a push of ivy. Addivan, wait a couple only like 2 hours and a lot of times they start to wake up. Then you give them another one if it's working. And that's one of the coolest things in psychiatry is you can see it work so fast. I feel like in mental health that's so rare. Maybe like Add and Stimulants, you see work really quick. But this is so drastic. Like, I remember one woman in the ICU, wasn't eating for days, couldn't move, had something called waxy flexibility where if you put their arm up, it stays. They never bring it down. Or you can position them in an odd position, they stay there. That's part of catatonia. That's one of the telltale diagnostic signs. We give her the Adavan, a couple of hours later she's eating. It's wild. Anyway, so I do think lottie was catatonic. I think that's what they were going for. And even if they weren't, they did. [06:02] Dr. Jessi Gold: A good job in an offshoot. But I do think that as far as things you see in psychiatry, it's interesting, but I have heard from the perspective of a patient who was catatonic, that they understood everything that was going on but couldn't speak or function. And wow, sometimes when people were learning from them because they had certain symptoms, like there's this thing called echolalia where they eat everything that you're saying that they knew. They saw that and didn't like that but couldn't say anything. So after that, I've been hesitant sometimes to actually teach some of it, even though it's rare and interesting. And again, one of the few things you see really get better, which is really nice. But I would assume, who knows how long she wasn't speaking and functioning in the wilderness. [06:56] Dr. Katrina Furey: I know now she's trapped like that. Can you imagine? [06:59] Dr. Jessi Gold: And I would assume her parents were already thought she was dead, but on top of it, we're like, oh, gosh, she's been off meds for like two years. No, I think ECP is a treatment of choice for catatonia. ECT is a very successful medication or. [07:18] Dr. Katrina Furey: Like, treatment super successful, which is unfortunate. [07:21] Dr. Jessi Gold: Psychiatry because everyone flew over the cuz nest, really. And I think that book and that movie and that portrayal have really continued so much that even, like, generationally people who have absolutely never read the book. [07:38] Dr. Katrina Furey: Or true know about it. [07:41] Portia Pendleton: Yeah. [07:41] Dr. Jessi Gold: In that movie, I don't know if parents told them or what, because, you know, they didn't see some old school Jack Nickson movie. [07:48] Dr. Katrina Furey: Right. [07:49] Dr. Jessi Gold: There's something where you mentioned ECT to people and their faces so concerned and they think it's the worst thing you can possibly tell them, but it's by far one of our most successful treatments, especially in situations like this. But in acute suspitality in pregnancy. [08:06] Dr. Katrina Furey: Right. [08:06] Dr. Jessi Gold: Postpartum psychosis wouldn't imagine it's as good as it is. And that stigma that exists for a very long time, very much created by the media, to be honest, really has made it hard for us to sell it as a treatment, despite how successful it is. And so for this show, which is new, to bring it back into the fold. And bring it back into the fold. So almost like quickly flashes, but the flashes you get look really and it's not the ECP. Even in the what would that have been like the 90s, right? [08:43] Dr. Katrina Furey: Exactly. It wouldn't have been like that. [08:47] Dr. Jessi Gold: Some of the things from what blew over the cuckoo sense is like, the technology was older, anesthesia wasn't as good. There's things where you can tell that things have evolved for sure since then. But even in the 90s, it didn't look like what they're showing. What they're showing looks like probably the equivalent of the fact that they still go clear with paddles in medical shows. Like these little pads that are stick. [09:12] Dr. Katrina Furey: On and so dramatic and heavy going to hurt you. [09:17] Dr. Jessi Gold: I know that Er doctors think that's ridiculous because they have most of them never even saw it ever done like that. I feel like what they show for ECT is like that version the OG when ECT was discovered version. [09:34] Dr. Katrina Furey: Also when they say seize, that's not what actually happens. [09:40] Dr. Jessi Gold: The purpose is to induce a seizure in your brain. But it's like so minor and the only way you really even know there's. [09:48] Dr. Katrina Furey: A seizure is like your toe brain. [09:50] Dr. Jessi Gold: Activity or your tone. You would never see someone actually seize. If you did. [09:56] Dr. Katrina Furey: We probably messed up, right. [09:59] Dr. Jessi Gold: Only they test where to go based on just if your finger moves when they get there, they know where different parts of your brain are and they're. [10:07] Dr. Katrina Furey: Targeting a specific part. Right. You're never like lashing or thrashing around, rolling over like Lottie did. And it's also very rare these days to do bilateral ECT on both sides of the head. Usually you start with unilateral and it's been so long since I did or saw ECT, I can't even remember which side you usually start with. But that's also not super common to do bilateral. Sometimes you have to right. [10:34] Dr. Jessi Gold: Then when one's not working as well, you add the other or you try the other and then you do bilateral. [10:39] Dr. Katrina Furey: Right. Oh, really? Like Barbaric bike guard, right? [10:43] Dr. Jessi Gold: Like a bike guard. She has an aggressive actual seizure. As a viewer, you actually don't know what is going on because they don't say the name. They don't going on anyway. So all you see is like this barbaric looking psychiatric treatment. And don't get me wrong, we have screwed up over and over. We were doing treatment wise. But again, so did a lot of medicine that felt like bloodletting was a way to free spirits of stuff. Right. So we're not the only specialty who tried very dangerous things on people. [11:14] Dr. Katrina Furey: Right. [11:15] Dr. Jessi Gold: We have a reputation for that and I think that has continued. NPT has basically been this, I don't know, representation of that in modern psychiatry. [11:26] Dr. Katrina Furey: Right. [11:26] Dr. Jessi Gold: Though it is so effective and I don't know, I wish there was more context to that. Even though I know it was sort of like intentionally vague. But I wish there was more context to it. I wish it was more thoughtful. [11:39] Dr. Katrina Furey: I wish it was more updated and more accurate. [11:42] Dr. Jessi Gold: It was more accurate. And with Lottie they have a lot of potential to talk about humane treatment. [11:50] Dr. Katrina Furey: I know. And we see such bad mental health treatment with Lottie this whole season and that's like the only mental health treatment we see. [12:00] Dr. Jessi Gold: Yeah, I mean, I think I worry not to get too far ahead that next season too, that she's going to. [12:07] Dr. Katrina Furey: Be inpatient, it's going to be awful. Let's show some good treatment that's struggling. [12:12] Dr. Jessi Gold: Like this, you can go back to. [12:14] Dr. Katrina Furey: Functioning and doing your work and your. [12:16] Dr. Jessi Gold: Life, but this is maybe what you need. Sometimes this is impatient can look like and they have the opportunity to demystify destigmatize. [12:26] Dr. Katrina Furey: It's just so far from what I saw in my training in what actual ECT is, which can be so quite literally life saving for so many patients. And it's just such a shame to have such yet another negative depiction of such a life saving treatment and of schizophrenia. [12:47] Portia Pendleton: I mean, she's going to go inpatient one of the most interesting things in my graduate program was we had this I don't know, because you guys both interfaced with Yale. She was a lawyer, like down in New Haven, and she's an author and she has schizophrenia. [13:02] Dr. Jessi Gold: It's called the center cannot hold with Elon Sack. [13:05] Dr. Katrina Furey: Yes. [13:05] Portia Pendleton: So she does a lot of talks about her experience with hallucinating, being on medication, not being on medication, how powerful medication is, and how you can really lead a wildly productive I mean, she went to law school. She's a very well known fighter and person lawyer. And that was just, I think, really helping too. I mean, the whole point is to destigmatize schizophrenia. So then we see Lottie here not doing a good job of that. And then we were just talking about future season predictions with maybe her being on inpatient unit and probably not looking so good. [13:43] Dr. Katrina Furey: Yeah. I do think as much as I was disappointed with the depiction of ECT, I do think this season had some good moments that I thought very, I guess, helpfully displayed the difference between hallucinations dissociation and like a dissociative fugue state. Right. I feel like those things are challenging to wrap your head around, challenging to educate people about, and then I would imagine even more challenging depicting in an accurate way. So when we say hallucination, what we mean by that is when someone is seeing, hearing, feeling, tasting, or smelling something that isn't actually there in reality, so what other people around them aren't experiencing. The most common hallucinations are auditory and visual. So things that you see or hear, although other senses can be affected too. When we say dissociation, what we mean by that is it's psychologically when there's a separation of some aspects of cognitive mental functioning from your conscious awareness. So it's often a response to trauma. And it's like your mind's way of trying to protect yourself and disconnect from an extreme psychological distress. And then kind of even further than that is what we call a dissociative fugue state, which is another rare occurrence. I did see a couple of these in the Er in my training, and that's a temporary state where a person has amnesia for their personal autobiographical information and then travels to an unexpected place, kind of out of nowhere. So these people kind of show up in your Er, don't know who they are, don't know where they are, don't know why they're there. And it takes a while to figure out what exactly is going on. And you don't often jump to like, oh, it's a fugue state. You might think like, oh my God, is there something medical going on? And things like that. But sometimes these patients do end up creating a whole new identity so I thought this show did demonstrate these different aspects of psychological functioning in response to trauma in a really amazing way. I was thinking of Shauna and Jackie, like those hallucinations early on, lottie and her psychiatrist, which we'll get into, I'm sure, in a minute. With the Dissociating, we see that a lot. With Ty, we see that with Shauna kind of forgetting or dissociating about her baby being stillborn. And then the fugue we see with Ty sleepwalking all the way to Ohio and hitchhiking to see Van. So I don't know, what did you guys think about those different depictions? [16:20] Portia Pendleton: I mean, the Dissociation one where Shauna is seeing Jackie, I feel like feels really to me like the most common potentially experience someone might have with, like, a loss, even. [16:32] Dr. Katrina Furey: You mean dissociating or hallucinating? [16:34] Portia Pendleton: Dissociating. [16:34] Dr. Katrina Furey: So this is a great example of how confusing these different conditions can be. Right. Because so Jackie was dead by that point, but she's talking to her. She's seeing her Jackie's moving around. So I would call that, I guess, maybe a little both. [16:48] Portia Pendleton: Okay. [16:48] Dr. Katrina Furey: But definitely visual auditory hallucinations that aren't actually happening. [16:53] Portia Pendleton: I mean, I'm just thinking of like I guess no one's really typical, but like a typical trauma patient who has dissociative features, usually I think, then just seeing them. Right. Like, you say you're like, outside your body or maybe you're in another place, but you're not seeing another person who then you would say isn't there. [17:12] Dr. Katrina Furey: Right. So I think of dissociation as like, having gaps in your memory for the traumatic event, forgetting certain things about it. Sometimes they do describe sort of like hovering above and sort of witnessing it rather than experiencing it. I think what you might be describing is, like, maybe someone who's even something not as severe as trauma, like grief, and you're walking around and you think you see the person, and then you realize, oh, no, that's not really them. [17:39] Dr. Jessi Gold: These are so specific and very hard to know the difference. And they're all sort of in this spectrum of psychological responses that can feel like psychosis, but also are trauma. [17:51] Dr. Katrina Furey: Yeah, exactly. There's a big overlap. [17:53] Dr. Jessi Gold: All of them were interestingly done. I think it's different people's responses to extreme stress, if you want to call it that, on sort of like the Wispy scale. Just a ton of trauma. I don't know how most people would react. And on top of it, also, they're starving. [18:11] Dr. Katrina Furey: Yes. [18:12] Portia Pendleton: Right. I was interested in the medical. [18:14] Dr. Jessi Gold: That part is also complicated. If they're, like, are they hallucinating? Are they struggling because they act Harding. [18:21] Dr. Katrina Furey: And their brain is not functioning well? [18:23] Portia Pendleton: Yes. The mouse, it's like you can convince. [18:26] Dr. Jessi Gold: Yourself that that's real because you can't tell the difference. Or the coach very actively hallucinating, but they're sort of like vivid dreams that happen to be while he's awake because he's not really fully functioning, because he's not eating right. I think there's a lot of blurring. And I also think that they use that to the advantage of the show writing, to put in the mysticism. They don't know. They're all sort of broken from reality in some capacity, some more than others for other reasons. But what is real and what is not is confusing. And I think that's also confusing for viewers and purpose. [19:05] Dr. Katrina Furey: Yeah, right. And I wonder, like you're saying, if that how much of that was purposeful. Because as we're seeing them all cope with and respond to trauma and try to survive, they're also telling the story through a lot of flashbacks and flash forwards. And so you kind of are also off kilter, which might just kind of be like in parallel to what you could imagine the characters are experiencing. [19:27] Portia Pendleton: I was thinking about just like I work with a lot of eating disorder patients, right? How important eating and nourishment is glucose, obviously, this is a pretty extreme example, but our brains need nutrition so badly. [19:44] Dr. Katrina Furey: To perform well, to function. [19:46] Portia Pendleton: And even, you know, if you're not starving in the wilderness with no food for weeks, living on soup made with mushrooms, I mean, you can tell. And that's where body disturbance comes in. People have a really hard time judging their body and comparing it and really do believe that they're in a larger body or a smaller body, et cetera. But I just thought what? Just like a little fun fact of how much we need food and how it can really change our experience with reality. [20:12] Dr. Katrina Furey: Yeah, 100%. And also how some of the dissociation can be protective. Right. When you're trying to survive in the winter in the woods with no idea if anyone's going to find you, it's probably protective to survival, to be disconnected to some degree. Right. Otherwise, like, God, what do you do? [20:33] Portia Pendleton: Right? The mouse seemed really important to her and just like a little creature. Who she's talking to? I mean, I was really shocked when it was dead. [20:41] Dr. Katrina Furey: Me too. [20:42] Dr. Jessi Gold: I'm not going to lie. [20:43] Portia Pendleton: Of course it's alive. [20:45] Dr. Katrina Furey: But then creature, did you wonder if she's going to eat it? [20:48] Portia Pendleton: I think she did. [20:49] Dr. Katrina Furey: Did she eat it? [20:50] Dr. Jessi Gold: Maybe I'm thinking about the ear and was like, no. [20:56] Portia Pendleton: Yeah, I'm thinking of the ear. [20:58] Dr. Jessi Gold: I think it was hard enough to even see the mouse situation change, but I think it's I don't know. It's a cool storytelling technique to use to be like, what's real, what's not? How do you know? And I think they use the same technique. I mean, with the baby situation, guys and the fans all were worried they ate the baby. Yeah, they have her basically hallucinate that people eat the baby and you believe it for a while, thought it could be a possible outcome. The writers knew it could be what people think is a possible outcome. And so they sort of play on that. I don't know, break from every like no one knows what's real and what's not. And I think as a viewer, it allows you to sort of maybe get more in the headspace of what it would be like to be doing that. And then I also think it makes things hard to follow. And you don't always trust the narrator. So interesting from a storytelling perspective. And I also think the food thing, it's like dissociation, if you want to use that term, being connected to your body that is not functioning and hungry and not eating. I understand all of that's. Protective, consciously dissociate. I mean, people who have had trauma sometimes can consciously dissociate as they get older because they learned it as a big skill, but they might not even realize they're doing it conscious, but they still don't even realize they're doing it. And so it's like an evolved coping skill to basically say, my body is not safe where my body is. Let's take a vacation from that, right? It's hard to picture, but it's a logical and important way. [22:49] Portia Pendleton: Yeah. [22:49] Dr. Katrina Furey: And I think, too, this show is doing a nice job demonstrating how like you were saying, Jesse, a lot of times when you're faced with trauma, let alone a chronic trauma, that's not letting up, especially in your early years. Like when you're a teenager or even younger, you develop these coping strategies like dissociation. Not consciously or intentionally, but then how that can persist into adulthood. And we see that with Ty, I think especially how when she's under the stress in season one of Running for Office, she's unconsciously reverting back to some of these coping strategies, like eating the dirt or setting up the altar and things like that. And how we see in season two as the stress keeps escalating, now she's maybe losing her family hallucinated. Sammy, it seems like before she got into that awful car accident where Simone got hurt. Then we see the dissociative few coming. And I think, again, that's a pretty intense depiction, but also really accurate. Like, I treat a lot of patients in adulthood who have a trauma history who find themselves dissociating or and that can be as simple as when faced with some reminder of what you went through, you all kind of feel like you're losing touch with your body. Sometimes I have patients describe it as like a zoom out or something. It can be as, quote unquote mild as something like that all the way to something as severe as, like, a fuke state. And you're right, I think, with the way they're telling the story and how smart is this? You do start to doubt. Like, I found myself wondering, was Misty's friend Crystal real until she died? And so thinking about lottie in the woods, but then also as an adult with her psychiatrist, I'm curious, Jesse, what your thoughts are about that whole depiction. [24:42] Dr. Jessi Gold: Isn'T real. Yeah, again, that sort of was like, whoa. It was interesting to me because I was like, why don't you keep saying her psychiatrist is on vacation? I thought that was the weirdest addition to the conversation because it was irrelevant. I don't know. It's interesting because in a way, it's like she thinks she's asking for help and she wants to ask for help, but she's asking for help in her world, not real world, but then her help asking in the real world is like this very dangerous mysticism. [25:15] Dr. Katrina Furey: And I thought it was so, like, before I realized the psychiatrist wasn't real at first, was like, I like the psychiatrist's office. Overall, I liked it. But then the psychiatrist said something like, when Lottie is coming and basically asking for medication or to go up on her medications because the hallucinations are coming back. And again, patients with that awareness of their psychotic disorder or their bipolar disorder with psychotic features or what have you can realize that and will come and seek help. And I think that's amazing when that happens. I was so disappointed when the fake psychiatrist said something to her, like, well, maybe you should listen to your hallucinations. I was like, no. And then when we realized she wasn't real, I was like, oh, Portia, I don't know. When did you catch on? [26:00] Portia Pendleton: I didn't until now. And not that she wasn't real. The last time we see the psychiatrist, she like, disappears, right, from Lottie's home, our office, whatever it was. And so I was like, oh, that was a hallucination. But I thought that that was the. [26:17] Dr. Katrina Furey: Only time she hallucinated her. But like, the other time she went, she actually went? Yes. [26:21] Portia Pendleton: And she was just getting, like, unhelpful, unhelpful help. [26:25] Dr. Katrina Furey: Yeah, maybe. You know, oftentimes with psychosis, at least I learned in my training. And I think this tracks if I sort of, like, reflect back, it's the auditory hallucinations that are the most common. And then I remember, like, visual hallucinations are more common with, like you said, like a medical issue or like alcohol withdrawal, UTI, stuff like that. And it is more often like whispers or hearing a voice, but it might not even be that the voice is saying something that's really clear to understand, but it sounds threatening or scary or could be a command hallucination telling them to harm themselves in some way. But, yeah, the idea of a friend or this whole external person, I haven't seen as much in real life. [27:15] Portia Pendleton: Well, I wanted to bring up just your article for the Slate. So just thinking about trauma, and we mentioned this like a couple of minutes ago. I think it's so important for people to know that if you're doing something like an EMDR or an art trauma treatment, you are opening the bag up, you are recalling really specific memories. And I like how you said you have to be prepared for that. And sometimes things get worse before they get better. And thinking about the characters on the show, it's like their trauma was so chronic and pervasive. And then continues at Post Wilderness that for treatment for them even thinking of Lottie, they need to be in really. [28:00] Dr. Katrina Furey: Safe, really good care, really safe. [28:02] Portia Pendleton: And environment providers really know what they're doing, who can hold them. And just thinking of all their dissociations as really, really coping, I mean, I don't know if it's safe for them to open the trauma jar altogether. [28:18] Dr. Katrina Furey: Especially, I think we see what happens, right, how the hunt happens again near the end of the season. [28:24] Portia Pendleton: And you can see Shauna and Misty being so shocked that Ty and Van did not end up or they called off lottie getting taken at that point. And they really started in the fear that Wright comes up for Shauna and Misty again with, like, Van and Ty allowing the hunt to happen. I don't know. I mean, I think just trauma, oh, there's great trauma treatments now and everyone should work on their trauma. [28:47] Dr. Katrina Furey: Sure. [28:47] Portia Pendleton: But you have to be safe to do it. [28:50] Dr. Katrina Furey: And you do need to be with a very skilled provider who knows what they're doing and knows how to handle when dissociative features might come up or when a panic attack might come up, and help you sort of stay present and feel safe is like the most important thing. [29:05] Dr. Jessi Gold: I think it's important for people to know that if you seek out trauma therapy, you're not going to dive immediately into it too, and you don't like this fear that you're going to say, Hi, nice to meet you. Tell me about that time in the wilderness when you're like, we don't do that. [29:20] Dr. Katrina Furey: Right? [29:20] Dr. Jessi Gold: Like, if you're trained in it, if you see the right kind of people, you get used into it. You will have those conversations. That's why you chose to have that therapy. But the purpose is not just to expose you and make you feel miserable. And so knowing that, I think, is important. [29:36] Dr. Katrina Furey: Some forms of trauma therapy now, like CPT, cognitive processing therapy without the trauma narrative, where you don't have to recall and detail the whole trauma narrative to do the therapy, how that's also been shown to be equally as effective as the version with the narrative. And I think that's really helpful for patients to hear because I think that is a big barrier to seeking it out is this fear that you're going to have to retell it and relive it over and over and over and over and that isn't always the case. [30:05] Dr. Jessi Gold: Yeah, there's a lot of fear in them telling their story, which you can tell even probably one of the better scenes is all of them as adults, kind of like talking about how messed up their lives actually are, listening to music and dancing and drinking yeah. Around the fire and it's kind of fun, but you're also like they're just like, telling each other how bad their lives are, but they don't tell anybody. Else. They don't trust anybody else. It's like a weird, sort of, like, peer support system that protected them for a long time. It has made them all really safe. [30:39] Dr. Katrina Furey: Right. And the only time they could connect in that way again is when they're, like, out in the wilderness around a fire, which is so similar to the time they were stuck. [30:50] Portia Pendleton: It just feels re traumatizing. [30:55] Dr. Katrina Furey: Yeah. [30:55] Portia Pendleton: And I didn't like watching it the whole last episode. I felt nervous when they started doing. [31:03] Dr. Katrina Furey: The stuff with the cards and then lottie's like, the Russian roulette with the poison, and I was just like, oh, no. But I did think it was amazing storytelling to have that going on in parallel to when they started doing that in the wilderness and how you could see again. You think of the coping skills you develop to survive in such a traumatic situation like that, and how they're sort of bubbling up again now in adulthood. [31:27] Portia Pendleton: And Natalie, is substance use certainly a coping skill? A way for her to kind of detach and then just her arc? I was sad to see spoiler alert. I had to see her go. [31:40] Dr. Jessi Gold: I'm really excited about hoping that they tell the future, too. Is this, like, sort of passing on of trauma to the next generation? [31:48] Dr. Katrina Furey: Yes, with Callie, because there's, like, something. [31:52] Dr. Jessi Gold: Where she's known her mom is not okay for a very long time, but her mom won't talk to her about it. And you see in her mom's interview with the cops and stuff that she didn't really think she should be a mom. Not really worthy of it, not really able to do it correctly. You grow up and you know there's something there when you get older and you're able to have more of a sense of things. And they don't talk about it. The parents aren't talking about it. They disagree a lot, or they're not getting along. Well, you see that, too. And then she just wanted to be let in. She's been waiting to be let into the story her whole life. And I feel like she's been defensive and protective of her mom in ways that she wouldn't have been otherwise. But she's clearly been traumatized from the whole thing, too. I know. Even the stuff she thinks of doing for the cop and all that stuff, manipulative and whatever, but it's like, I. [32:48] Dr. Katrina Furey: Guess this is what we do, right? Yeah. Gosh. And I think a lot of people can probably relate to that, hopefully in a different way. But when you yourself have grown up with some sort of trauma or something, how and when do you share that with your kids in a way that keeps them feeling safe, but also promotes connection rather than this vibe that we don't talk about hard things? I have no idea. But this show, I think, depicts that like you're saying in a really intense way. Jesse, again, getting back to your article. What did you think about the depiction of Lottie's, what seems like a cult, and yet it didn't seem like Lottie had, like, a nefarious intent. Right. That I feel like a lot of cult leaders, there's usually a nefarious, selfish intent there. [33:36] Dr. Jessi Gold: I mean, it's a cold article for Slate on that, and part of it was because I was very curious about what the draw for people with mental illness and trauma is of colts. Yes, there's a lot of draw. The support and the understanding and that somebody listening to you. The acceptance attempt at finding a solution, which I think happens for a lot of our patients. And they turn to supplements and they turn to things that maybe feel quicker because somebody maybe gave them an answer, CBD something. And there's not a lot of great treatment or fast treatment for some of this. And it's nice to think there could be. I think there's some version of Lottie who is like her purpose in her mind is to help the wounded souls of the world without realizing that there's negative to what she's doing. And that's a lack of insight. Some of I don't know how much is purposefully hurtful as much as it is what she believes is right, but what she believes is right is unfortunately not really right. So you kind of have to say maybe her insight into right and wrong is not 100% there. [34:58] Dr. Katrina Furey: And again, why would it be, given what she went through? Right. [35:00] Dr. Jessi Gold: Yeah. I mean, given, like, that she wants to kill someone for the wilderness or give it blood. [35:07] Portia Pendleton: Right. And if she were to die, who then takes care of her? Right. Who then leads her people followers? [35:16] Dr. Katrina Furey: If she drinks the cyanide, what happens? Maybe it's Lisa. That girl. I don't know. [35:22] Portia Pendleton: I think it's definitely the lack of insight and just not I think she's ultimately that demonstrates to me selfishness because you're not thinking about all these people who you have living in this commune, taught to be here, where they're kind of surrounding you and your ideas. It's like, well, if I'm gone, you're not thinking about them. [35:41] Dr. Katrina Furey: Yeah. No, that's a good point. I think I was comparing her this time to Keith Ranieri of the nexium cult. I don't know if you watch The Vow, but how they're again, clearly it's a cult. Right. They're not communicating with the outside world, even though they could. They all just choose not to. Right. They're all wearing purple. They're all doing sort of these woo woo things she holds onto the files. Yeah. And, like, the info. Right. So maybe there was more to it than we saw about what's she getting. [36:12] Dr. Jessi Gold: Out of it, being each other's family. [36:14] Dr. Katrina Furey: This is what works, and maybe that's enough for her. Maybe that's what she gets out of it, that community and belonging and sense of importance. [36:22] Portia Pendleton: And then it's for her, right? [36:24] Dr. Katrina Furey: For her rather than for everyone else. I did think it was interesting as we start wrapping up the way that the show and it seems like the characters maybe led by Lottie, but then they all kind of accept it to some degree, keep talking about the darkness within each of them and then the role of the wilderness or that mysticism role. And it made me think of is this how they're trying to externalize in some way these dark parts of themselves that they ended up using or relying on to survive? And I think we just sort of see that unfold as they grow into adulthood and as they all get back together and kind of redo another hunt at Lottie's psychotic urging. Quite frankly, at that point, I think she's like, fully psychotic. [37:21] Portia Pendleton: And I think it's just interesting. They all name it, though, right? [37:25] Dr. Katrina Furey: Yeah, they all have the same name. [37:27] Portia Pendleton: Misty and Shauna all decide prehunt that they are going to go along with Lottie and her really psychotic ideas about. [37:36] Dr. Katrina Furey: One very dangerous yeah, very dangerous. [37:38] Portia Pendleton: And then I think it's so, like, why Ty and Van? [37:43] Dr. Katrina Furey: I was shocked. [37:44] Portia Pendleton: Van seems terminal. [37:46] Dr. Katrina Furey: She's a terminal illness. [37:48] Portia Pendleton: So is that her way you said before, of trying to be saved by Lottie? [37:52] Dr. Katrina Furey: Because it seems like Lottie has, like, quote unquote, saved Van in the past, or the wilderness has saved Van from all the time she should have died in the woods but didn't. And so I was stumped as to why they would call off the emergency medical personnel to take Lottie into treatment or traditional psychiatric treatment. And that was the only thing I could really come up with, was like, did Van think in some way Lottie could once again save her? I don't know. What do you think, Jesse, about all that? [38:22] Dr. Jessi Gold: I don't know. Or I feel like Van thought she would be chosen to sacrifice herself for people. I don't know. It's too obvious, too just like she would be the one to go and. [38:34] Dr. Katrina Furey: She was like, okay with it because she had a terminal illness or something. [38:38] Dr. Jessi Gold: It felt like a chicken thing that they all failed at stopping. Okay, someone's going to stop this, right? And maybe they thought Lottie would, because it's hard to see, like, in what we know about the past, we don't know how much Lottie is involved in the like, they start that game, like that game. I know people with card game. It's hard to know how much of that takes a life of its own, and it's not actually Lottie's life. And so maybe they were like, this isn't really what Lottie like, Lottie is going to be like, this is a bad idea. I don't know. And so it felt like to me, either Van was ready to self sacrifice or that they were all playing a game of chicken, that they were hoping someone would stop, and nobody did. And it felt like that as kids, a little bit too right. Someone's not going to kill Natalie. Right? And then they were like, oh, he fell in. [39:42] Dr. Katrina Furey: Oh, my God. Right. [39:43] Dr. Jessi Gold: Super traumatic and very parallel to that. [39:46] Dr. Katrina Furey: Moose, the white moose. [39:49] Portia Pendleton: Yes. [39:49] Dr. Katrina Furey: I also wondered if that was real, that white moose or hallucination. [39:54] Dr. Jessi Gold: It's hard to know that if they thought it would actually go through. It's pretty clear. Shauna didn't. [40:00] Dr. Katrina Furey: She's like, oh. [40:01] Dr. Jessi Gold: She was like, what the serious? [40:03] Dr. Katrina Furey: Are you really seriously, guys? [40:05] Dr. Jessi Gold: Yeah, this is what's going on. And turn around and I don't know. [40:12] Portia Pendleton: And Ben's refusal. We talked about him really briefly before with his hallucinations. [40:19] Dr. Katrina Furey: At first I thought that was a. [40:20] Portia Pendleton: Flash forward and he made it home. [40:22] Dr. Katrina Furey: And he was with his boyfriend and it was all beautiful. And then I was like, oh, no. The season ends with Natalie's death at Misty's hand. We didn't get into Misty and Elijah Wood, but I just loved that pairing and their little caligula dance when she was in the sensory deprivation tank. So just shout out to that. But then we also see Ben burn down the house and it's still winter. Right? Aren't you terrified for like, oh, no, what are they going to do now? You know? It's got to be worse than what we've already seen because they survive. So, yeah. I'm just very nervous about this show. [41:01] Portia Pendleton: And time wise, I feel like someone has definitely figured it out on TikTok. I want to know when season two ends. How far are they into the 19 months? [41:12] Dr. Katrina Furey: Are we only like a third of the way in? [41:14] Portia Pendleton: Is this soon? [41:15] Dr. Jessi Gold: There are things that in this very meta, writers shout out to writers on. [41:21] Dr. Katrina Furey: Right. [41:21] Dr. Jessi Gold: But in this very meta, very awesome way of writing, the reason we don't know what's real or not is because they don't want us to, because the people don't. And the reason they have not given us any time clues except for seasons changing, is that's all they know, too? [41:38] Portia Pendleton: Yeah, that's a great point, and I. [41:41] Dr. Katrina Furey: Appreciate that about this show. The way they're telling the story and how the way they tell the story is so mirroring, I think their own traumatic experiences, like we're talking about with the hallucinations, the dissociating, the difficulty figuring out what's reality, what's not, I think that is exactly where they all are. But I'm, like, so scared of how are they going to survive without shelter now? [42:05] Portia Pendleton: And the season we had mentioned even last time is going to be delayed. [42:10] Dr. Katrina Furey: Right. [42:11] Portia Pendleton: Season three, because of the writer strike. And I think prior we said that last time. I don't know how we knew that if the writer strike was happening, but it's going to be a while, I think, until I feel like I need. [42:23] Dr. Katrina Furey: A pause because it's so intense. [42:26] Dr. Jessi Gold: Bonus episode again, I stay off the fan theories, but the showrunner confirmed it, so they have some bonus episode for the season that like Jason Ritterson that they will give release at some point, given that their showrunners very into the strike. I think she rightfully so. [42:45] Dr. Katrina Furey: Rightfully so. [42:49] Dr. Jessi Gold: Out of respect. I also think they only got, like, one writer's room for season three or something before this strike. So, yeah, I will get a break. [42:57] Dr. Katrina Furey: But yeah, these shows and the writing is just so astounding the way that they get it, right. [43:01] Portia Pendleton: Like, so much content to talk about. I mean, we feel what they feel, right? We feel anxious, we feel joy. And I think that's just like that's because there's these amazing, talented people working on all these shows, and that's why we're talking about them. [43:13] Dr. Jessi Gold: Right. I really hope that young Shauna gets some awards. Yeah, that's one thing I've been thinking about. Another thing I've been thinking about is how hard it must be to do that role. [43:29] Dr. Katrina Furey: We talk a lot about how I hope there's a therapist on set for the actors, for everyone who is part of this. Because even acting or pretending or assuming the role has got to be traumatic in its own way, right. [43:44] Dr. Jessi Gold: I mean, it has, right? To be basically like you're living wherever he gets filmed in Canada. I think you're taking the content in and embodying it. And some of that content is like I mean, all of that content is horrible. Right. They're all disturbing traumatized and starving or whatever. But, like, the people who have these really horrific storylines and need, like, extreme emotions, like, Shauna goes through, like, she beats the **** out of audience. Her emotions are very regulated in a way that somebody's actively experiencing trauma and years later experiencing trauma, we experience and embodying that in such a visceral way as, like, I don't know, she's in her 20s. Right, right. [44:34] Dr. Katrina Furey: Where can they pull that from? [44:35] Dr. Jessi Gold: Sitting apart, because you have your own story, your family has their own story. Whatever. You could have never gotten help for it before, and you're just doing the role and you need help later, but you just see that stuff and you're like, this is hard enough to watch. [44:51] Dr. Katrina Furey: Yeah, definitely. [44:53] Dr. Jessi Gold: How many takes do they have to do? I don't know. I think that's just really hard. I do hope that they realize that that's okay. Right. [45:04] Dr. Katrina Furey: Well, Jesse, thank you so much for joining us once again as our Yellow Jackets correspondent in the field. We really appreciate it. Can you tell everyone where they can find you? [45:16] Dr. Jessi Gold: Sure. At Dr. Jessebold on TikTok, Twitter, Instagram, or Dr. Jessebold.com works too. [45:24] Dr. Katrina Furey: Awesome.

Sometimes you read a book and get a flash of insight - that “ah ha!” moment - about yourself and the ways you interact with others.  That happened to me when reading “Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World.”  It helped me to understand and justify my interest in (this won't surprise you) EVERYTHING related to geriatrics or palliative care.  Also hat tip to Matthew Growdon for recommending the book. Today we talk with Bob Arnold, who has a long list of recommendations for books that have the potential to generate an “ah ha!” moment.  The podcast is ostensibly focused on becoming a better mentor, but as you'll hear, we discuss techniques that can help you cope with anxiety, stress, your spouse…the list goes on.  In reality, insights from these books can help you be a better teacher, a more curious person, as well as a better mentor or mentee. Bob urges you to buy these books from your local bookstore.  To that end, we're not including links with the titles below.  Please shop locally. As a bonus, Lauren Hunt, frequent guest on GeriPal, heard we recorded this podcast and wanted to add a couple books to Bob's list (she saw Bob give a talk about these books at the NPCRC Foley retreat).  Her list will strongly resonate with women in academics. See below for Lauren's two additions to Bob's list, with her personal commentary.

I had heard of course heard of imposter syndrome in the past but I didn't make the connection to myself until I read this article and saw my thoughts printed on the page. You would think that after several years of a number of career successes, the imposter syndrome would have abated for me, but rather I found it getting worse! I thought that I should know more of what I was doing by this point in my career, but instead I often felt like I had no idea what I was doing!  So I came across this book and found it very helpful. Young defines people who have imposter syndrome as those who have a “persistent belief in their lack of intelligence, skills, or competence. They are convinced that other people's praise and recognition of their accomplishments is undeserved, chalking up their achievements to chance, charm, connections, and external factors. Unable to internalize or feel deserving of their success, they continually doubt their ability to repeat past successes.”  I certainly related to the point that instead of successes alleviating feelings of fraudulence, the opposite happens, because it increases pressures to uphold one's reputation. The pressures can be intense, leaving one wondering if it's all worth it, and prompting fantasies of leaving the charade behind.  One thing I really liked about this book is that it places the imposter syndrome into the context of a patriarchal, misogynistic, racist society and organizations that create cultures that cultivate self-doubt (ahem academia). Imposter syndrome is a rationale response to a crazy world. We exist in a society and culture that actually judges women to be less competent at work (the studies she details are SUPER disturbing). It is not surprising we would internalize these norms. Also that being underrepresented in a field creates pressures not only to represent just oneself, but an entire gender.  She focuses on women, but these concepts obviously apply to people of color and other disadvantaged social groups. And of course men can have imposter syndrome too.  Another part I liked about the book is digging into the notion that one's success is due to luck, or being in the right place at the right time. She dispels these notions by pointing out that, first of all, luck is always present, even for people who are enormously talented and second, being the right place at the right time, having the right connections, and having a winning personality can sometimes actually be the result of skills or abilities, often the result of hard-work, hustling, and efforts to develop one's socioemotional capacity.   This is a self-help book, so throughout she offers some useful rules and self-talk for responding to imposter syndrome thoughts. She details different ways to respond to thoughts based on your competence type. For example, if you are a perfectionist, she recommends reframing to a “good enough” quality standard—a mantra I adopted from colleague during the pandemic and has been incredibly helpful for me over the past few years. For the rugged individualist who equate true competence equals solo, unaided achievement, the reframe is “competence means knowing how to identify the resources needed to get the job done.”  Another really important idea she raises is that women often have difficult choices to make about their career and its impact on other parts of their families and their other social networks that aren't as pronounced for men in our society. Sometimes it is difficult to disentangle these questions from feelings of imposter syndrome. For example, is reluctance to take on more responsibility at work or relocate because you feel inadequate or is it because of genuine concern about the impact on your family? Moreover, women (generalizing here) tend to place lower value on traditional measures of work success (e.g. money, power, influence) and greater value on connection and meaning. It can require a lot of soul searching to figure out whether one is avoiding career “success” out of fear or that certain paths are just truly not aligned with our values.   Finally, towards the end of the book, she introduces the idea of “faking it till you make it” and having chutzpah—i.e going for it. Of course, she's not advocating for a George Santos approach (no lying) but just having a little bit more of a mindset that you'll figure it out once you're on the job.  I'd definitely recommend this book if you've ever struggled with similar feelings or mentor people who might. She's got a breezy and relatable writing style that's easy to read, lots of great real-world stories, and piquant quotes.   The No Club:  Putting a Stop to Women's Dead-End Work by Linda Babcock, Brenda Peyser, Lise Vesterlund, and Laurie Weingart  Summary of the book's premise:  Work activities fall on a spectrum from promotable and non-promotable (NPT).  Promotable activities are those that advance one's career. They use the word “advance” quite broadly to encompass various outcomes, like earning a promotion, getting plum assignments, increasing compensation, and enhancing marketability for other jobs. Promotable tasks are visible to others and increase the organization's currency. Some tasks may be indirectly promotable—they help you develop skills that have the potential to enhance your future success or access to future promotable work.  NPT's are important to your organization but will not help to advance your career. These tasks have low visibility (think committees and other service).  Too many NPT's can lead to work/work imbalance where promotable tasks get pushed to the side and advancement slows, or work-life imbalance, where advancement continues but at the expense of time in one's personal life (or both).  Although not exclusively a problem for women, women are more likely to take on NPT's at work. This is because they are both asked more often and are more likely to say yes when asked.  They propose both bottom-up (women saying no to more things) and top-down solutions (organizations making efforts to divide up NPT's more fairly and ensuring everyone is pitching in).  Before I read this book, I didn't fully grasp the idea that an activity would be helpful to the organization but not to my own career. Sometimes requests for participation in these activities come with a veneer or prestige and lots of feel-good gratitude. I personally feel a lot of guilt and worry about disappointing people when I say no to things. Even declining to review an article for a journal is accompanied by some stomach knots (it's so hard to find reviewers!) I also place a lot of value in collaboration and working in teams, and the idea of working in a culture where everyone is only looking out for themselves is not appealing to me.  But I'm also worried at the level of overwhelm I experience at times and perhaps some of you have experienced as well. How do we ensure that we are on sustainable path where we can stay in and build the world we want to live and work in?   The book also got me thinking about what is promotable or not in academia, i.e. what is the currency. I think we all know that grants and publications are promotable activities, but even within that there are hierarchies. Some of these hierarchies I think I understand: a data-based paper in a high-impact journal has higher promotability than an editorial in a lower-impact journal. Some of them I'm not sure about: is an NIH project grant more promotable than a foundation grant and if so why (bc higher indirects?)  Also, things like mentorship seem gray to me: senior-authored articles are evidence of independence and potential track to mentoring awards, but people often seem to place mentorship in the NPT category. I think having more transparency and discussion about what is promotable or not would be very useful.    Highly recommend this book for women, men, people in leadership, and employees. It's extremely well-written, nuanced, and eye-opening.   SPONSOR:    This episode of the GeriPal Podcast is sponsored by UCSF's Division of Palliative Medicine, an amazing group doing world class palliative care.  They are looking for physician faculty to join them in the inpatient and outpatient setting.  To learn more about job opportunities, please click here: https://palliativemedicine.ucsf.edu/job-openings  

During the Cold War, one of the few issues on which the United States and the Soviet Union agreed, was that other states should not have nuclear weapons. The likelihood that one of them would use those weapons – or transfer them to a regime or group that would was too great. This was called the principle of non-proliferation. It was regarded as an established norm of international behavior, expressed most explicitly in the 1979 Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons -- better known as the Non-Proliferation Treaty or NPT. Is it still in force or relevant or even meaningful? What is being done to prevent the acquisition of nuclear weapons – as well as chemical and biological weapons – by regimes hostile to the United States and its allies? FDD has a new Nonproliferation and Biodefense Program attempting to answer such questions and provide policy options. Chairing the program is Ambassador Jackie Wolcott, former U.S. representative to the United Nations in Vienna and the U.S. representative to the International Atomic Energy Agency. Charles Kupperman, who served in senior positions in both the Reagan and Trump administrations, is a member of the program's board of advisors. They join Foreign Podicy host Cliff May to talk about nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons. 

You know how gumbo tastes better the next day? Well, that's what we're serving here -- a gumbo episode: a compilation or episode from yesteryear. THIS WEEK, we bring back the BIRTH of NPT with TWO stories from 2017. We forgot about these and fell out laughing listening to them all over again. Hope you enjoy.
