What is the real killer when it comes to heart disease? Can the right cardiac testing truly mean the difference between life and death? In today's episode, we are joined by Dr. John Osborne, a Harvard-trained, triple board-certified cardiologist and Co-Founder of ClearCardio, to break it all down… Dr. Osborne earned his B.S. with honors from Penn State University, his M.D. magna cum laude from Jefferson Medical College, and a Ph.D. in cardiovascular physiology from Thomas Jefferson University. His postdoctoral training at Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women's Hospital helped shape his expertise in non-invasive cardiology. Board-certified across multiple disciplines, his work focuses on preventive cardiology, metabolic syndrome, and cardiovascular genetics. Recognized as the American Heart Association's Cardiac Care Provider of the Year and named a Top Doctor multiple times, Dr. Osborne has authored original research papers, book chapters, and delivered hundreds of international presentations. Through ClearCardio, he is advancing proactive cardiac care by integrating AI-powered imaging to detect plaque earlier, quantify risk more precisely, and empower patients before symptoms appear. In this episode, we dive into: What actually causes heart attacks and sudden cardiac death. The role of soft plaque vs calcified plaque in coronary artery disease. Why many heart attacks happen after a "normal" stress test. The limits of stents and why they do not necessarily extend longevity. To learn more about Dr. Osborne and his work with ClearCardio, connect with him on LinkedIn!

What's wrong with democracy these days? Can it be rescued? Can it be made more mindful? Can we work together to build something better? What's the role of compassion in building community? What's the role of conflict in building community?  Why do yoga and mindfulness communities often seem so averse to taking a stand and diving into different political or communal issues head on? Why does our world treat politics as some sort of childish, dirty game, like reality tv, instead of sacred duty? For the 250th anniversary of 1776, can somebody write a formal  Declaration of INTERdependence? Professor, teacher and author Jeremy David Engels—author of the brand new book A Mindful Democracy—just wrote one, and Ethan welcomed him to The Road Home podcast to discuss it, and more. Jeremy David Engels, Ph.D., is the author of six books, including the new On Mindful Democracy: A Declaration of Interdependence to Mend a Fractured World (Parallax, 2026), and the creator of the Zen and the Art of Democracy Substack. He is the Liberal Arts Endowed Professor of Communication and Ethics at Penn State University, co-founder of Yoga Lab, and a longtime mindfulness and yoga teacher. His work reimagines democracy as a communal practice rooted in care, deliberation, and shared responsibility, emphasizing mindfulness as a core civic skill. His essays have appeared in the Washington Post, Yoga Journal, Yoga Magazine, and The Conversation. Last year, with your subscriptions, we were able to release more episodes than any previous year.

This week we welcome Dr. Mike Fidanza from Penn State University, a globally recognized authority on fairy ring in turf. Our conversation digs into how this fungus establishes itself in the soil and why the traditional explanations only tell part of the story.For years, fairy ring was blamed solely on decomposing organic matter. While that plays a role, Dr. Fidanza explains why the issue runs deeper. He challenges the idea that carbon-based fertility causes fairy ring and instead points to the complexity of the soil biome and microbial interactions.Much of his current research focuses on how soil biology, moisture management, and drought stress influence the development and severity of the disease. He recently explored these themes in Golf Course Industry in his article, The Interactions of Plant Soil Microbes Under Drought Stress.A key takeaway from our discussion is that fairy ring often thrives where biological processes are not fully supported. When nitrification slows and ammonium lingers, fungi can take advantage of that imbalance. Healthy biological activity helps keep nutrient cycling moving and reduces the conditions that favor disease.This conversation reinforces what we've long discussed: managing turf challenges starts below the surface. Soil biology, carbon availability, and balanced nutrient cycling all play a critical role in creating resilient turf systems.Visit EarthWorks at: https://www.earthworksturf.com Podcasts: https://www.earthworksturf.com/earthworks-podcasts/ 2 Minute Turf Talks: https://www.earthworksturf.com/2-minute-turf-talks/

AABP Executive Director Dr. Fred Gingrich is joined by Dr. Bob Van Saun, professor and extension veterinarian at Penn State University. He is also a member of the AABP Nutrition Committee. If you are interested in beef or dairy nutrition, consider joining the committee by visiting this page.  This episode of Have You Herd? is sponsored by Boehringer Ingelheim and the PYRAMID(R) Line of vaccines, a premier choice to protect calves from BRD. Get relentless protection at PyramidVaccines.com. Van Saun begins by reviewing the important biologic role of copper for ruminants and why it is a critical mineral for ruminants. We also discuss some clinical diseases or conditions where a veterinarian may be triggered to look at a copper deficiency. This includes bleaching of the haircoat (achromotrichia), anemia, reproductive performance, growth, and disease consequences due to the role copper plays in innate and humoral immunity. Some of these syndromes may be clinically apparent, but a large portion may be subclinical, and the practitioner should evaluate the entirety of the mineral program to evaluate.  Van Saun discusses the interplay between copper and other minerals and how this interaction can affect copper metabolism. We also discuss general guidelines copper in ruminants and diagnostic procedures for evaluating copper metabolism in a herd.  Due to the impacts of copper on many production and disease issues in ruminants, veterinarians play a critical role in evaluating herds for copper deficiencies by performing a diagnostic work-up and evaluating potential interventions.

Where do scientific breakthroughs really begin, and how much space do we leave for curiosity, intuition, and creative thinking along the way? In this episode, host Elaine Hamm, PhD, is joined by Auni Williams, PhD, a postdoctoral scholar at Penn State University, for a thoughtful and refreshing conversation about “night science.” Together, they explore the idea that behind every polished grant, publication, or protocol is a messier, more human process driven by curiosity, imagination, and the freedom to explore unconventional ideas. From historical examples of scientific breakthroughs to personal stories from the lab, this episode invites listeners to rethink how discovery really happens. In this episode, you'll learn: What “night science” is and why embracing early, unpolished ideas is critical for innovation and discovery. How modern research culture can unintentionally suppress creativity – and what institutions and leaders can do to protect exploratory thinking. Why communicating science as a human, curiosity-driven process is essential for engaging both scientists and the public. Tune in to learn how making space for curiosity, creativity, and night science can reignite passion for research and lead to the next generation of scientific breakthroughs.

Part 1:We talk with Sophia A. McClennen, Professor of International Affairs and Comparative Literature at Penn State University.We discuss how we all should respond to the lies and propaganda that colors what he hear and see in the news and through social media posts that pretend to be news. Debunking is not enough, telling the truth should be swift and emphatic. Should be depend on the 'normal' institutions to protect us? What if those institutions (Congress, SCOTUS, law enforcement agencies) are useless? Are we complicit if we just give up?Part 2:Jonathan Feingold, Professor at Boston University School of Law, and Arnie chat about Ta-Nehisi Coate's recent essay and observation that “Trump has clarified an inconvenient fact—the culture war is an actual war.” The actual war manifests physically in ICE, the now $85 billion entity Trump is deploying to racially profile, terrorize and now execute people across the United States. The actual war is also the anti-Black racism, xenophobia, Islamophobia, antisemitism, and anti-LGBTQ bigotry that animates the right side of America's so-called “culture ways.” This hateful rhetoric and fear mongering, which Steven Miller, Charlie Kirk, JD Vance and others have sought to mainstream, serves a purpose in ICE's war on our communities: to dehumanize and legitimize violence against those deemed unfit for the Homeland. WNHNFM.ORG  productionMusic: "That's how every empire falls"  John Prine, 2015

In this episode, I sat down with Thomas Gaffney to unpack what's really happening as blockchain and real-world asset tokenization quietly reshape real estate, finance, and ownership. We talked about how mortgages are moving on-chain, why transparency could prevent another 2008-style collapse, and how people may soon pay mortgages and car loans with crypto. We also explored Bitcoin as digital gold, fractional ownership of massive assets like apartment buildings, and why blockchain's biggest impact will mostly happen behind the scenes. This conversation completely reframed how I see the future of money, real estate, and risk.

AABP Executive Director Dr. Fred Gingrich is joined by Dr. Bob Van Saun, professor and extension veterinarian at Penn State University. He is also a member of the AABP Nutrition Committee. If you are interested in beef or dairy nutrition, consider joining the committee by visiting this page.  Van Saun starts by reviewing why mineral and vitamin transfer are important beyond their biological role in fetal development and reminds us that milk does not have a significant quantity of trace elements and some vitamins. It is important to provide a diet that is adequate in vitamins and minerals to the dam to ensure the developing fetus is not deficient and that the newborn calf is very dependent on what we feed the dam. Van Saun reviews how minerals and vitamins are regulated in the body and what we know about the placental transfer of minerals and vitamins to the fetus during gestation. He offers suggestions for practicing veterinarians for evaluating the nutritional status of dams. He suggests starting by evaluating the ration that has been formulated to ensure it is consistent with recommendations from NASEUM 2021 (dairy) and NASEM 2016 (beef). The veterinarians can then submit biologic samples for vitamin and mineral analysis which can be done via liver biopsy or blood testing as well as when each test is applicable. In addition, liver samples from stillborn fetuses can be submitted to develop a database for clients mineral and vitamin programs and to determine if stillbirths are due to deficiencies.  Links:Hostetler CE, Kincaid RL, Mirando MA.

A powerful clip from Beginning Within's Rabbi Aryeh Weinstein examines a revealing exchange between Penn State University's Sam Richards and his students during a lecture asserting that "Palestine did not exist 200 years ago," a claim that stunned students who view it as their ancestral homeland. Rabbi Weinstein unpacks why historical literacy matters and how emotional narratives often replace facts in today's discourse. The program also features Australian television host Julia Hartley-Brewer in conversation with author and commentator Melanie Phillips, examining why the Gaza ceasefire continues to falter as Hamas refuses to disarm and what that means for Israel's security and regional stability. Mike then turns to New York City, focusing on growing security concerns for Jewish residents and institutions as mayor-elect Mandami prepares to take office. Throughout the episode, Mike underscores the urgent need for a proactive, positive campaign in support of Israel. He addresses and debunks accusations of genocide and apartheid, discusses the sharp rise in antisemitism in Australia following the Bondi Beach attack on Jews celebrating Chanukah, and raises alarms about the growing belief that the United States is a "Christian nation" and the troubling implications such thinking may hold for American Jews. In a lighter, seasonally fitting moment, he also reviews 11 classic Christmas songs written by Jewish composers. Thank you for listening, sharing and subscribing to The Third Opinion Podcast!

In "Why It's Time to Expect More from Your EDI Platform", Joe Lynch and Shane Hagen, Presales Solutions Architect at Cleo, discuss the necessity of transitioning from traditional EDI to a unified platform for strategic supply chain orchestration and superior visibility. About Shane Hagen Shane Hagen is a Presales Solutions Architect at Cleo. He designs integration solutions that seamlessly connect internal applications with external partners, leveraging both API and EDI integration patterns. Cleo's customers rely on Shane to solve complex supply-chain challenges, trusting him to bridge the gap between business objectives and technical execution. With over eight years of experience in the integration space—including a prior role at Boomi—Shane brings deep expertise in modern connectivity and enterprise workflow design. He holds a computer science degree from Penn State University. About Cleo Cleo Integration Cloud (CIC) is a cloud-based integration platform, that allows organizations to build, operate, and optimize critical supply chain orchestration processes. The CIC platform brings end-to-end integration visibility across API, EDI, and non-EDI integrations, giving technical and business users the confidence to rapidly onboard trading partners, enable integration between applications, and accelerate revenue-generation. As a supply chain orchestration software company focused on business outcomes, Cleo's focus is to ensure each customer's potential is realized by delivering strategic solutions that make it easy to discover and create value through the movement and integration of B2B enterprise data. Key Takeaways: Why It's Time to Expect More from Your EDI Platform In "Why It's Time to Expect More from Your EDI Platform", Joe Lynch and Shane Hagen, Presales Solutions Architect at Cleo, discuss the necessity of transitioning from traditional EDI to a unified platform for strategic supply chain orchestration and superior visibility. The Imperative for Seamless System Connectivity The penalty for not connecting internal systems directly to external business partners is severe: it forces manual entry, leading to processes that are time-consuming, slow, unreliable, and prone to error. Organizations must expect their EDI platform to eliminate this manual burden and ensure robust, automated data exchange. Shift from Transaction Processing to Supply Chain Orchestration Expect your platform to evolve beyond simple data exchange to become a strategic tool for supply chain orchestration. Modern cloud platforms, like Cleo Integration Cloud (CIC), manage, operate, and optimize critical B2B enterprise data movement across the entire network, driving strategic business outcomes. Enabling Profitable Partner Relationships Through Speed Working with a powerful integration platform like Cleo is the key to accelerating growth. It directly enables companies to onboard new customers, suppliers, and business partners significantly faster, which is foundational to building more prosperous, high-velocity relationships. Hybrid Integration is the New Standard (API + EDI) The complexities of the modern supply chain require integration solutions that seamlessly blend traditional EDI with contemporary API patterns. A high-value platform must provide a unified environment for designing complex, end-to-end workflows that leverage both types of connectivity. Comprehensive Visibility Across All Data Streams True operational control requires end-to-end integration visibility across every data flow—API, EDI, and non-EDI. This holistic view gives technical and business users the confidence to solve complex supply-chain challenges by quickly identifying and resolving any bottlenecks. Bridging the Gap Between Business Strategy and Technical Execution A modern EDI platform must act as the essential link between ambitious business objectives (like accelerated revenue and growth) and the technical execution required to meet them. Guest experts, like Shane Hagen, are relied upon to translate complex requirements into measurable business value. Strategic Partnerships Drive Industry Focus (The Trimble Example) Expect your integration provider to have deep, strategic alliances within key industries. Cleo's position as a proud Trimble partner highlights its experience in solving complex integration challenges for Trimble customers and demonstrates its specialized focus on critical industry ecosystems.

Dad jokes -- the gift that keeps on giving? Today on our month-long "Odd News+" series we look at a new survey that suggests having a laugh can be good for the whole family. Plus, Warner Bros Discovery makes an announcement and a new look at a classic statue. A study conducted by both Penn State University and Columbia College in Chicago examined the use of humor in a parent/child relationship. The results seem to be good news for all those Dad jokes out there. Warner Bros Discovery has made a name for itself – and not a good one – when it comes to their track record on films. We poke a bit of fun at that concept. Nothing says funny like a jab at a piece of sculpture. But we give it a go. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Kevin Shea is a Director/Senior Equity Strategist at BNY Mellon, where he focuses on individual security analysis, market structure, and emerging technologies—most notably artificial intelligence. Raised in a blue-collar household in Boston, Kevin learned the value of investing early and carried that discipline through Penn State University and into his professional life. He earned the CFA charter while beginning his career at Merrill Lynch Investment Management, eventually joining BNY Mellon's Equity Advisory Group, a team dedicated to helping wealth clients navigate complex equity markets and fast-moving innovation cycles. In this episode, Kevin joins Steve Curley and co-host Dan Fasciano to break down the state of AI, technology leadership, and the increasing concentration within U.S. equity markets. He explains why today's mega-cap technology firms continue to dominate—highlighting advantages in data scale, free-cash-flow margins, and unparalleled AI investment. The discussion explores whether we are in an "AI bubble," how current valuations compare to the late-1990s dot-com era, and the unprecedented capital-expenditure supercycle underway as companies race to build data-center infrastructure. Kevin also offers a global lens—comparing U.S. and Chinese capabilities, semiconductor constraints, and the geopolitical factors shaping the AI race. The conversation then pivots to how AI is transforming the investment-research process itself. Kevin walks through the tools BNY Mellon and industry analysts increasingly rely on—from ChatGPT and internal models like "Eliza" to AlphaSense, Sentieo, and Claude—and how these systems enable teams to process far more information than ever before. He also discusses how AI-driven productivity may help address demographic and inflation challenges over the long run. The episode closes with a memorable perspective on work ethic, drawing parallels between success in investing and Kobe Bryant's "Mamba mentality," emphasizing that excellence is built on consistent, behind-the-scenes effort. Today's hosts are Steve Curley, CFA (Co-Managing Principal at 55 North Private Wealth) & co-host Dan Fasciano, CFA (Principal at GW&K Investment Management) Please enjoy the episode.

Physics has been full of astonishing discoveries over the past century. But they open up even bigger mysteries that scientists are working feverishly to explain. What is dark energy? And why is the expansion of the universe accelerating? In public talks at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Waterloo, Ontario, two prominent physicists – Sarah Shandera of Penn State University and Stanford University's Savas Dimopoulos – discuss the breakthroughs of recent decades and what it will take to solve the most nettlesome mysteries that have deepened in their wake.
