Send me a question or story!Zinc responsive dermatitis is a skin condition in dogs resulting from a zinc deficiency or an inability to properly absorb the mineral. It is a rare condition that typically presents as scaling, crusting, and hair loss around the head (especially muzzle and periocular region) and pressure points.The most common form is syndrome I which is almost exclusively seen in Nordic breeds like Huskies and Malamutes. They have a genetic defect that impairs intestinal absorption of zinc (even when sufficient quantities are in their diet). Learn about this disease process including diagnosis and treatment on this week's episode of The Derm Vet podcast!Timestamps00:00 Intro01:00 Zinc Basics04:12 What Happens If You're Not Absorbing Enough Zinc05:55 Syndromes Seen With Zinc Deficiency07:22 Zinc Responsive Dermatitis in Huskies08:31 Presentations of Zinc Responsive Dermatitis09:50 Other Differentials You Can See11:53 Treatment for Zinc Responsive Dermatitis13:35 Length of Treatment14:10 Other Treatment Methodologies15:19 Outro

When most people hear the word policy, they immediately picture Washington, D.C., marble hallways, and people in suits arguing on TV. But as my guest today so brilliantly reminds us, policy is simply how decisions get made - and you don't need to be a political insider to influence it.In this episode, I talk with Dr. Deborah Stine, founder of the Science and Technology Policy Academy, former Executive Director of the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology in the Obama White House, and someone who has spent her career helping scientists, engineers, and health professionals turn their expertise into impact.And yes, her résumé reads like a Washington fairytale, but what makes Debbie extraordinary is how down-to-earth and practical she is. She's spent decades working at the national level and then chose to move back to the “ground floor” of change—state and local work—where impact shows up fast and in real lives.Debbie and I talk about:Why most experts accidentally sabotage their own influenceHer 4E Framework for better decision-makingHow to translate complex, jargon-heavy research into something the public—and policymakers—actually understandWhy state and local advocacy can be even more powerful than federal workHow to work with people who disagree with youA surprising turn into AI—and how Debbie used my Automate & Amplify program to keep her content going while traveling the worldThis conversation is a powerful reminder that your voice matters, especially when you pair your expertise with a compelling story and a clear message.About My Guest: Dr. Deborah Stine is the founder of the Science and Technology Policy Academy, where she helps scientists, engineers, and health professionals translate what they know into policies that improve people's lives. Deborah has worked with the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, at the Congressional Research Service, and was the Executive Director of the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology in the Obama White House. She was also Professor of the Practice, Engineering and Public Policy at Carnegie Mellon University. Deborah is also the author of From Expertise to Impact, which is all about how experts can communicate in a way that truly influences public decision-making. About Us: The Speaking Your Brand podcast is hosted by Carol Cox.

Worried that giving the same talk more than once would box you in - or worse, bore you to tears?I've been there. And if you're a builder-of-slides-at-heart like me, the idea of sticking to one signature talk can feel a little… constraining.But here's the truth: the talk you give again (and again and again) is the one that becomes unforgettable - for you and your audience.In this episode, I'm joined by Thought Leader Academy graduate Kelly Mallery, who proves exactly that. Kelly works in the continuous improvement and lean space, and she discovered that honing one powerful talk didn't limit her creativity, it amplified it. And it opened doors.We talk about how she's evolved her talk, why a transformer toy has become part of her on-stage brand (yes, really), and how she learned to adapt the same content for both 20-minute and 60-minute speaking slots without losing impact.Whether you're speaking to industry peers, corporate audiences, or groups who've never heard of your topic before, what Kelly shares will help you rethink how reusable and scalable your signature talk can be.Kelly and I talk about:Why one signature talk can actually increase your impact, confidence, and clarityHow Kelly transformed her message by introducing her “Resistobots” (inspired by her love of Transformers)The power of refining the same talk through multiple deliveriesWhat changes—and what stays the same—when adapting a talk from 20 minutes to 60 minutesHow your ideal audience and your buyer can be two different people, and why it mattersThe importance of opening strong and closing with purpose (no rushing just to “get to the content”!)Why props, stories, and frameworks make your message stick—and lead to more speaking invitesLinks:Show notes at https://www.speakingyourbrand.com/453/ Kelly's website: https://www.kellymallery.com/ Watch Kelly deliver a 10-minute version of her signature talk = https://www.youtube.com/live/4ytvyFXfGU0?si=BH8Z-8qt8Npt2XWuDiscover your Speaker Archetype by taking our free quiz at https://www.speakingyourbrand.com/quiz/Enroll in our Thought Leader Academy: https://www.speakingyourbrand.com/academy/ Connect on LinkedIn:Carol Cox = https://www.linkedin.com/in/carolcoxKelly Mallery (guest) = https://www.linkedin.com/in/kelly-mallery-coaching/ Related Podcast Episodes:Episode 345: Elevate Your Audience Engagement Skills with These Proven Strategies with Katie AndersonEpisode 355: What a Signature Talk Is and What It Should be Doing for YouEpisode 354: Finding and Developing Your Big I.D.E.A.Episode 440: No Need to Start from Scratch: Repurpose Your Signature Talk for Different Topics and Audiences

Justin Tolman from Exterro joins the Forensic Focus Podcast to talk about the future of FTK and the role FTK Imager still plays in everyday casework. He explains why the original free version remains available, and what prompted the introduction of Imager Pro with added capabilities like BitLocker decryption and iOS collections. Justin also reflects on his time in law enforcement and training, and why the investigative side of the work still holds a strong pull. Looking ahead, Justin shares where FTK development is headed — from large-scale processing and streamlined review workflows to Whisper-based audio transcription and careful, targeted use of AI for tasks like summarising long documents and cross-media searching.

"Wait, we're supposed to do WHAT in front of everyone next week?" If those words just sent a little panic through your heart, take a deep breath. Kelli and Lisa have been there, done that, survived the chaos, and they're here to tell you it's going to be better than fine—it might even be fun. Join host Delise with Classical Conversations veterans Kelli Wilt and Lisa Bailey for an encouraging conversation about family presentations in CC community. Whether you're preparing for your first family presentation or you're a seasoned homeschooler looking for fresh ideas, this episode takes the fear out of public speaking and shows how holiday-themed presentations offer unique opportunities to share your family's story and build deeper community connections. Kelli and Lisa share heartwarming and hilarious stories from years of family presentations—including an escaped hamster that turned opening assembly into a community-wide search party, and a musically-challenged dad whose off-beat performance endeared him to children all year long. What You'll Learn: How to define and approach family presentations in Classical Conversations Why weekly presentations give children lifelong confidence in public speaking Creative holiday presentation ideas for Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter, Valentine's Day, and more Practical preparation tips: respecting 5-7 minute time limits, practicing at home, and involving your children in planning How to consider each family member's personality and strengths when assigning roles Why visual aids and audience engagement matter when presenting to a room full of children The importance of teaching your children to be active, engaged listeners during other families' presentations Your community isn't looking for perfection or professional presentations—they simply want to know your family better.

Andrea Samadi reflects on seven years hosting the Neuroscience Meets SEL podcast and celebrates reaching 500,000 downloads. She shares seven strategies—clarifying mission and vision, defining the audience, setting measurable goals, creating systems, staying mission-driven, building partnerships, and building momentum—and eight personal lessons learned, including the power of practice, research, adaptation, and praxis. This episode offers practical, science-backed guidance for anyone looking to apply neuroscience to improve productivity, well-being, and long-term results. On today's episode #377, we cover a break from our interviews, with a celebration episode!  ✔  7 Strategies that took our podcast from 0-500,000 downloads (including clarifying our mission, vision, defining our audience, setting measurable goals, creating systems, staying mission-driven, and building partnerships). ✔ 8 Personal Lessons learned over the past 7 years  (including the power of spaced repetition, research, adaptation and praxis).   Welcome back to SEASON 14 of The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning and emotional intelligence training for improved well-being, achievement, productivity and results—using what I saw as the missing link (since we weren't taught this when we were growing up in school), the application of practical neuroscience. I'm Andrea Samadi, and seven years ago, launched this podcast with a question I had never truly asked myself before: (and that is) If productivity and results matter to us—and they do now more than ever—how exactly are we using our brain to make them happen? Most of us were never taught how to apply neuroscience to improve productivity, results, or well-being. About a decade ago, I became fascinated by the mind-brain-results connection—and how science can be applied to our everyday lives. That's why I've made it my mission to bring you the world's top experts—so together, we can explore the intersection of science and social-emotional learning. We'll break down complex ideas and turn them into practical strategies we can use every day for predictable, science-backed results. For today's EP #377 we will take a break from our interview reviews, and look back over the past 7 years, and 14 Seasons, as we hit an important milestone in the podcasting world, our 500,000th download.  I remember when we hit the 300,000th marker, back in March 2023[i] we reflected back on the lessons learned in our first 4 years of hosting this podcast.  I remember looking at the next milestone of half a million, thinking it was such a distance from where we currently were.  It just took 3 years to get here, and now we have our eye on the next 500,000 downloads, which from here, looks like a lifetime away. As we reflect back over the past 7 years, many of our strategies remain the same as when we first began. Some strategies we did have to change. We reviewed some of these concepts on EP 279[ii] back in March 2023.  As we review what got us here, I think that these strategies can be applied to anything we are doing, with a long-term vision.   7 STRATEGIES WE USED TO HIT THE 500K DOWNLOAD MILESTONE 1. Know Your Mission (What You're Doing) The mission of the Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning podcast is to bridge the gap between neuroscience research and practical applications in education, business, and personal development. The podcast shares insights, strategies, and best practices to enhance learning, performance, and well-being by integrating neuroscience (which we like to make simple) and connecting it to social and emotional skills (SEL). Our goal is to provide valuable information listeners can apply in their work and personal lives to achieve peak performance and overall self-improvement, with a deeper understanding of how our brain works — something many of us were never taught in school. When the mission is clear, anything outside of this mission — applying neuroscience made simple to our daily lives — wasn't a match. This clarity helps maintain focus and ensures that all efforts align with creating tangible, positive outcomes. It's what keeps us consistent, translating complex scientific insights into actionable practices that lead to meaningful improvements in how we think, learn, and interact. From the very beginning, each guest spoke on a topic aligned with current neuroscience research. Each season was shaped by a framework connecting the six social and emotional learning competencies with foundational brain concepts — what I called Neuroscience 101, based on what I learned while studying with neuroscience researcher Mark Waldman.[iii] That's how our seasons were created. Make This Actionable: Do you have a clearly defined Mission of WHAT you do? 2. Know Your Vision with a Clear Why Your vision is why you do what you do. Once you know what you want to do, ask yourself — do you know why? This is probably the number one question I get asked when people hear that I host a podcast. They'll say, “Why? What made you decide to do this? Why did you launch a podcast?” It's a long story (I'll keep it short). When I purchased a website in January 2019, it came with a podcasting theme. The developer told me I could delete it, but I was already interviewing people for my work in schools — I just wasn't releasing that content publicly. A few months later, I wanted to present these ideas at a conference, but I was told I'd have to pay to present. That felt wrong — why pay to share the work I'd spent years developing? So, I decided instead to launch the podcast in June 2019. From the beginning, the podcast was meant to be a give-back — a way for anyone to learn these ideas without paying for access. To this day, it remains ad-free for that reason. My friend and long-time supporter, Greg Wolcott (Assistant Superintendent from Chicago, Illinois, Episode 7[iv]), reminded me how far the show has reached — now in over 190 countries — compared to the 50–100 people who might have attended that conference I wanted to present at. I truly believe that what's meant to happen will happen. As my dad would say in his Scottish accent: “What's for you, won't go by you.” So, with your vision, ask yourself: Do you know why you are doing what you do? I often go back to Part 6[v] of our Think and Grow Rich book study, where I dedicated an episode to my mentor, Bob Proctor. He always reminded us that our mission — whatever we want to achieve — becomes possible only once we first of all believe it's possible. He'd say: “What story do you want to tell? What scenes do you want to shoot? How do you want the movie to end? Be the director of your life.” Once you can clearly see something on the screen of your mind, (Your Mission) the next step is to bring that vision into reality. (Your Vision). That's exactly how this podcast began — with a clear mission and vision that led to action. Make This Actionable: Do you have a clearly written VISION of why you do what you do? 3. Clarify Your “What” and “Who” After defining your why and what you envision, identify: What exactly you're creating (e.g., “a neuroscience and education podcast”). Who it's for — your specific audience or community. I wanted our audience to reach outside of schools, into sports and the modern workplace. I remember a few people telling me to stick to one audience, and I just couldn't do it. I had a broader vision. Ask yourself: Who will benefit most from my message? What do they struggle with, and how can my work help?

PREVIEW. Contrasting US and Canadian Views on Xi Jinping's Conciliatory Stance. Conrad Black discusses the differing opinions in Canada versus the United States regarding Xi Jinping's recent presentations and meetings, including one with Mr. Carney. Black notes that Xi appears to have gone out of his way to be conciliatory toward both Canada and the United States. He contrasts this with distinguished US pundits who argued the US was at a disadvantage after those meetings. 1900 QUEBEC
