David Martin, the founding chairman of M Cam asset management company, said at an International Covid Summit organized by the European Parliament in Brussels earlier this month that the US was responsible for the making of both coronaviruses causing the outbreaks of severe acute respiratory syndrome - or SARS - in 2003 and the Covid-19 pandemic in the past three years. The third edition of the summit featured speakers from anti-lockdown advocates to medical academia to discuss the global pandemic response. The speakers shed light on the possibility that the coronavirus which caused the pandemic was man-made, instead of naturally occurring. (Click Here for Full Article)
We close out the fourth season with Dr. Julie Gerberding, the former CDC director, the current CEO of the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health, and one of the pre-eminent infectious disease physicians in the country. In this interview, we discuss pursuing a career in public health, lessons learned from leading the country as CDC director during prior SARS outbreaks, anthrax attacks, the H1N1 influenza virus, and parallels between Dr. Gerberding's career start during the AIDS epidemic and young professionals pursuing public health during the COVID-19 pandemic. We then dive into the role of spearheading global health at a large pharmaceutical company during Dr. Gerberding's role as Chief Patient Officer at Merck. We end the conversation discussing the Foundation for the NIH and solutions enabled by public-private partnerships in scientific discovery and global health. Throughout the conversation, we explore the importance of proactive measures, collaborative efforts, and equitable approaches to protect and promote the well-being of individuals and communities around the world. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tdio/message

This month on Episode 48 of Discover CircRes, host Cynthia St. Hilaire highlights three original research articles featured in the April 28th issue of Circulation Research. This Episode also includes a discussion between Dr Mina Chung, Dr DeLisa Fairweather and Dr Milka Koupenova, who all contributed to manuscripts to the May 12th Compendium on Covid-19 and the Cardiovascular System. Article highlights: Heijman, et al. Mechanisms of Enhanced SK-Channel Current in AF Chen, et al. IL-37 Attenuates Platelet Activation Enzan, et al. ZBP1 Protects Against Myocardial Inflammation Compendium on Covid-19 and the Cardiovascular System. Cindy St. Hilaire: Hi, and welcome to Discover CircRes, the podcast of the American Heart Association's journal, Circulation Research. I'm your host, Dr Cindy St. Hilaire, from the Vascular Medicine Institute at the University of Pittsburgh. Today, I'm going to be highlighting articles from our April 28th and May 12th issues of Circulation Research. I'm also going to have a chat with Dr Mina Chung, Dr DeLisa Fairweather and Dr Milka Koupenova, who all contributed to articles in the May 12th COVID Compendium. But before we have that interview, let's first talk about some highlights. The first article I want to present is titled Enhanced Calcium-Dependent SK-Channel Gating and Membrane Trafficking in Human Atrial Fibrillation. This article is coming from the University of Essen by Heijman and Zhou, et al. Atrial fibrillation is one of the most common forms of heart arrhythmia in humans and is characterized by irregular, often rapid heartbeats that can cause palpitations, dizziness and extreme fatigue. Atrial fibrillation can increase a person's risk of heart failure, and though treatments exist such as beta blockers, blood thinners and antiarrhythmia medications, they can have limited efficacy and side effects. A new family of drugs in development are those blocking small-conductance calcium-activated potassium channels called SK channels, which exhibit increased activity in animal models of AF and suppression of which attenuates the arrhythmia. In humans however, the relationship between SK channels and atrial fibrillation is less clear, at least in terms of SK channel mRNA levels. Because mRNA might not reflect actual channel activity, this group looked at just that and they found indeed that channel activity was increased in cardiomyocytes from atrial fibrillation patients compared to those from controls even though the mRNA and protein levels themselves were similar. The altered currents were instead due to changes in SK channel trafficking and membrane targeting. By confirming that SK channels play a role in human atrial fibrillation, this work supports the pursuit of SK channel inhibitors as possible new atrial fibrillation treatments. The next article I want to present is titled IL-37 Attenuates Platelet Activation and Thrombosis Through IL-1R8 Pathway. This article comes from Fudan University by Chen and Hong, et al. Thrombus formation followed by the rupture of a coronary plaque is a major pathophysiological step in the development of a myocardial infarction. Understanding the endogenous antithrombotic factors at play could provide insights and opportunities for developing treatments. With this in mind, Chen and Hong, et al. investigated the role of interleukin-1 receptor 8, or IL-1R8, which suppresses platelet aggregation in mice, and of IL-37, a newly discovered human interleukin that forms a complex with IL-1R8 and is found at increased levels in the blood of patients with myocardial infarction. Indeed, the amount of IL-37 in myocardial infarction patients negatively correlates with platelet aggregation. They also show that treatment of human platelets in vitro with IL-37 suppresses the cell's aggregation and does so in a concentration-dependent manner. Moreover, injection of the protein into the veins of mice inhibits thrombus development and better preserves heart function even after myocardial infarction. Such effects were not seen in mice lacking IL-1R8. This suggests IL-37's antithrombotic action depends on its interaction with the receptor. Together, the results suggest IL-37 could be developed as a antithrombotic agent for use in MI patients or indeed perhaps other thrombotic conditions. The last article I want to present before our interview is titled ZBP1 Protects Against Mitochondrial DNA-Induced Myocardial Inflammation in Failing Hearts. This article is coming from Kyushu University and is by Enzan, et al. Myocardial inflammation is a key factor in the pathological progression of heart failure and occurs when damaged mitochondria within the stricken cardiomyocyte release their DNA, triggering an innate inflammatory reaction. In a variety of cells, DNA sensors such as Z-DNA-binding protein 1 or ZBP1 are responsible for such mitochondrial DNA-induced inflammation. In theory then, it's conceivable that therapeutic suppression of ZBP1 might reduce myocardial inflammation in heart failure and preserve function. But as Enzan and colleagues have now discovered to their surprise, mice lacking ZBP1 exhibited worse, not better heart inflammation and more failure after induced myocardial infarction. Indeed, the test animals' hearts had increased infiltration of immune cells, production of inflammatory cytokines and fibrosis together with decreased function compared with the hearts of mice with normal ZBP1 levels. Experiments in rodent cardiomyocytes further confirmed that loss of ZBP1 exacerbated mitochondrial DNA-induced inflammatory cytokine production while overexpression of ZBP1 had the opposite effect. While the reason behind ZBP1's opposing roles in different cells is not yet clear, the finding suggests that boosting ZBP1 activity in the heart might be a strategy for mitigating heart inflammation after infarction. Cindy St. Hilaire: The May 12th issue of Circulation Research is our COVID compendium, which consists of a series of 10 reviews on all angles of COVID-19 as it relates to cardiovascular health and disease. Today, three of the authors of the articles in this series are here with me. Dr Mina Chung is a professor of medicine at the Cleveland Clinic. She and Dr Tamanna Singh and their colleagues wrote the article, A Post Pandemic Enigma: The Cardiovascular Impact of Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2. Dr DeLisa Fairweather, professor of medicine, immunology and clinical and translational science at the Mayo Clinic, and she and her colleagues penned the article, COVID-19 Myocarditis and Pericarditis. Dr Milka Koupenova is an assistant professor of medicine at the UMass Chan School of Medical and she led the group writing the article, Platelets and SARS-CoV-2 During COVID-19: Immunity, Thrombosis, and Beyond. Thank you all for joining me today. DeLisa Fairweather: Thank you so much for having us. Mina Chung: Thank you. Milka Koupenova: Thank you for having us, Cindy. Cindy St. Hilaire: In addition to these three articles, we have another seven that are on all different aspects of COVID. Dr Messinger's group wrote the article, Interaction of COVID-19 With Common Cardiovascular Disorders. Emily Tsai covered cell-specific mechanisms in the heart of COVID-19 patients. Mark Chappell and colleagues wrote about the renin-angiotensin system and sex differences in COVID-19. Michael Bristow covered vaccination-associated myocarditis and myocardial injury. Jow Loacalzo and colleagues covered repurposing drugs for the treatment of COVID-19 and its cardiovascular manifestations. Dr Stephen Holby covered multimodality cardiac imaging in COVID, and Arun Sharma covered microfluidic organ chips in stem cell models in the fight against COVID-19. Cindy St. Hilaire As of today, worldwide, there have been over six hundred million individuals infected with the virus and more than six and a half million have died from COVID-19. In the US, we are about a sixth of all of those deaths. Obviously now we're in 2023, the numbers of individuals getting infected and dying are much, much lower. As my husband read to me this morning, one doctor in Boston was quoted saying, "People are still getting wicked sick." In 75% of deaths, people have had underlying conditions and cardiovascular disease is found in about 60% of all those deaths. In the introduction to the compendium, you mentioned that the remarkable COVID-19 rapid response initiative released by the AHA, which again is the parent organization of Circ Research and this podcast, if I were to guess when that rapid response initiative started, I would've guessed well into the pandemic, but it was actually March 26th, 2020. I know in Pittsburgh, our labs have barely shut down. So how soon after we knew of SARS-CoV-2 and COVID, how soon after that did we know that there were cardiovascular complications? Mina Chung: I think we saw cardiovascular complications happening pretty early. We saw troponin increases very early. It was really amazing what AHA did in terms of this rapid response grant mechanism. You mentioned that the RFA was announced, first of all, putting it together by March 26th when we were just shutting down in March was pretty incredible to get even the RFA out. Then the grants were supposed to be submitted by April 6th and there were 750 grants that were put together and submitted. They were all reviewed within 10 days from 150 volunteer reviewers. The notices were distributed April 23rd, less than a month out. Cindy St. Hilaire: Amazing. Mina Chung: So this is an amazing, you're right, paradigm for grant requests and submissions and reviews. DeLisa Fairweather: For myocarditis, reports of that occurred almost immediately coming out of China, so it was incredibly rapid. Cindy St. Hilaire: Yeah, and that was a perfect lead up to my next question. Was myocarditis, I guess, the first link or the first clue that this was not just going to be a respiratory infection? DeLisa Fairweather: I think myocarditis appearing very early, especially it has a history both of being induced by viruses, but being strongly an autoimmune disease, the combination of both of those, I think, started to hint that something different was going to happen, although a lot of people probably didn't realize the significance of that right away. Cindy St. Hilaire: What other disease states, I guess I'm thinking viruses, but anything, what causes myocarditis and pericarditis normally and how unique is it that we are seeing this as a sequelae of COVID? DeLisa Fairweather: I think it's not surprising that we find it. Viruses around the world are the primary cause of myocarditis, although in South America, it's the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi. Really, many viruses that also we think target mitochondria, including SARS-CoV-2, have an important role in driving myocarditis. Also, we know that SARS-CoV-1 and MERS also reported myocarditis in those previous infections. We knew about it beforehand that they could cause myocarditis. Cindy St. Hilaire: Is it presenting differently in a COVID patient than say those South American patients with the... I forget the name of the organism you said, but does it come quickly or get worse quickly or is it all once you get it, it's the same progression? DeLisa Fairweather: Yeah. That's a good question. Basically, what we find is that no matter what the viral infection is, that myocarditis really appears for signs and symptoms and how we treat it identically and we see that with COVID-19. So that really isn't any different. Cindy St. Hilaire: Another huge observation that we noticed in COVID-19 patients, which was the increased risk of thrombic outcomes in the patients. Dr Koupenova, Milka, you are a world expert in platelets and viruses and so you and your team were leading the writing of that article. My guess is knowing what you know about platelets and viruses, this wasn't so surprising to you, but could you at least tell us the state of the field in terms of what we knew about viruses and platelets before COVID, before Feb 2020? Milka Koupenova: Before Feb 2020, we actually knew that influenza gets inside in platelets. It leads to not directly prothrombotic events, but it would lead to release of complement 3 from them. That complement 3 would actually increase the immunothrombosis by pushing neutrophils to release their DNA, forming aggregates. In cases when you have compromised endothelium and people with underlying conditions, you would expect certain thrombotic outcomes. That, we actually published 2019 and then 2020 hit. The difference between influenza and SARS-CoV-2, they're different viruses. They carry their genome in a different RNA strand. I remember thinking perhaps viruses are getting inside in platelets, but perhaps they do not. So we went through surprising discoveries that it seemed like it is another RNA virus. It also got into platelets. It was a bit hard to tweak things surrounding BSL-3 to tell you if the response was the same. It is still not very clear how much SARS or rather what receptor, particularly when it gets inside would induce an immune response. There are some literature showing the MDA5, but not for sure, may be responsible. But what we found is that once it gets in platelets, it just induces this profound activation of programmed cell death pathways and release of extracellular vesicles and all these prothrombotic, procoagulant form of content that can induce damage around, because platelets are everywhere. So that how it started in 2019 and surprisingly progressed to 2021 or 2020 without the plan of really studying this virus. Cindy St. Hilaire: How similar and how different is what you observe in platelets infected, obviously in the lab, so I know it's not exactly the same, but how similar and how different is it between the flu? Do you know all the differences yet? Milka Koupenova: No offense here, they don't get infected. Cindy St. Hilaire: Okay. Milka Koupenova: Done the proper research. The virus does not impact platelets, but induces the response. Cindy St. Hilaire: Okay. Milka Koupenova: That goes back to sensing mechanism. Thank goodness platelets don't get infected because we would be in a particularly bad situation, but they remove the infectious virus from the plasma from what we can see with function. Cindy St. Hilaire: Got it. So they're helping the cleanup process and in that cleaning up is where the virus within them activates. That is a really complicated mechanism. Milka Koupenova: Oh, they're sensing it in some form to alert the environment. It's hard to say how similar and how different they are unless you study them hint by hint next to each other. All I can tell is that particularly with SARS-C, you definitely see a lot more various kinds of extracellular vesicles coming out of them that you don't see the same way or rather through the same proportion with influenza. But what that means in how platelet activates the immune system with one versus the other, and that goes back to the prothrombotic mechanisms. That is exactly what needs to be studied and that was the call for this COVID compendium is to point out how much we have done as a team. As scientists who put heads together, as Mina said, superfast response, it's an amazing going back and looking at what happened to think of what we achieved. There is so much more, so much more that we do not understand how one contributes to all of these profound responses in the organs themselves, such as myocarditis. We see it's important and that will be the problem that we're dealing from here on trying to figure it out and then long COVID, right? Cindy St. Hilaire: Yeah. Related to what you just said about the mechanism, this cleanup by the platelets or the act of cleaning up helps trigger their activation, is that partly why the antiplatelet and anticoagulant therapies failed in patients? Can you speculate on that? I know the jury's still out and there's a lot of work to be done, but is that part of why those therapies weren't beneficial? Milka Koupenova: The answer to that in my personally biased opinion is yes. Clearly, the antiplatelet therapies couldn't really control the classical activation of a platelet. So what I think we need to do from here on is to look at things that we don't understand that non-classically contribute to the thrombotic response downstream. If we manage to control the immune response in some way or the inflammation of the infection or how a platelet responds to a virus, then perhaps we can ameliorate a little bit of the downstream prothrombotic effect. So it's a lot more for us to trickle down and to understand in my personal opinion. DeLisa Fairweather: There is one thing that was really remarkable to me in hearing your experience, Milka, is that I had developed an autoimmune viral model of myocarditis in mice during my postdoc. So I've been studying that for the last 20 years. What is unique about that model is rather than using an adjuvant, we use a mild viral infection so it doesn't take very much virus at all going to the heart to induce it. I also, more recently, started studying extracellular vesicles really as a therapy, and in doing that, inadvertently found out that actually, the model that I'd created where we passage the virus through the heart to induce this autoimmune model, we were actually injecting extracellular vesicles into the mice and that's what was really driving the disease. This is really brought out. So from early days, I did my postdoc with Dr Noel Rose. If you've heard of him, he came up with the idea of autoimmune disease in the '50s. We had always, in that environment, really believed that viruses were triggering autoimmune disease and yet it took COVID before we could really prove that because no one could identify them. Here we have an example and I think the incidence rates with COVID were so high for myocarditis because for the first time, we had distinguished symptoms of patients going to the doctor right at the beginning of their infection having an actual test to examine the virus, knowing whether it's present or not, whether PCR or antibody test, and then being able to see when myocarditis happened. Cindy St. Hilaire: Yeah. I think one thing we can all appreciate now is just some of the basic biology we've learned on the backend of this. Actually, those last comments really led well to the article that your team led, Dr Chung, about what we call long COVID, which I guess I didn't realize has an actual name, post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 or PASC is the now more formal name for long COVID. But what is it? We hinted at it that there's these bits about autoimmune and things like that. What counts as long COVID? Mina Chung: Yeah. Our article was led by Tamanna Singh. She did a fantastic job of putting this together. We've had, and others, theorized that the huge palette of symptoms that you can experience post-COVID, they can affect all these organ systems with brain fog, these atypical chest pains, postural orthostatic tachycardia, a lot of palpitations, atrial fibrillation, many weakness and fatigue. To us, really, you can get GI symptoms. We've been very interested in, is this an autoimmune phenomenon directed against nerves and all those things. It's also very interesting because many of the non-COVID syndromes that existed pre-COVID like POTS and chronic fatigue syndrome and a lot of other syndromes are associated with autoantibodies. So that is a very interesting area to explore. Is there a persistence of viral fragments. Is there autoimmunity? Is it also a component of persistence of the damage from the initial infection? So it's an area that still needs a lot of work and a lot of work is going into it, but this is like a post or inter pandemic of itself, so hopefully we'll get more insights into that. Cindy St. Hilaire: Yeah, it's really interesting. I have a friend who has very debilitating long COVID and one of her doctors had said, "If I didn't know any better, I would just describe this as a autoimmune type X." What do we know, I guess, about the current hypothesis of the pathogenesis of PASC? Are there any prevailing theories right now as to why it's occurring? Is the virus still active or is it these domino effects that are leading to multi-organ collapse of some sort? Mina Chung: Yeah. In some people, persistent viral particles can be identified for months, but whether or not that's what's triggering it, it's hard to know. We see more autoimmune disease that's been reported and various antibodies being reported. So those are clearly processes to be investigated. The microthrombosis is still up there in terms of potentially playing a role in long COVID. Milka Koupenova: Mina, you probably know better because you see patients, but to all I have been exposed to, long COVID does not really have a homogeneous symptom presentation and then a few theories as to what may be going on in these patients. Not everybody has a microthrombosis. Not everybody have a D-dimer elevated, but some people do. Some people have, as you pointed out, these spectacularly profound brain fog. People can't function. It's probably your friend, Cindy, right? Cindy St. Hilaire: Yeah. Milka Koupenova: So one of the theories that I have been, from a viral perspective, very interested in is that a lot of the symptoms in certain individuals such as fatigue, brain fog, sensitivity to light and skin can very well be explained by a flare-up of Epstein-Barr virus that may be what SARS-CoV-2 somehow is inducing. I don't know, DeLisa, what your experience with long COVID is as a scientist. I hope only. But I would like to hear your perspective too because it's so heterogeneous and it is amazing what happens. DeLisa Fairweather: I have a very interesting perspective from a number of different directions. One, as I mentioned before, my long history with Dr Rose and I've written many articles theorizing how viruses could cause autoimmune disease. This has grown and really, I think this has been extremely revealing during COVID for many of those theories. One thing that I write about in the review for this article is that mast cells, from all the research I've done with myocarditis in our model, mast cells are central to what is driving everything. We show they're the first innate immune cell acting as an antigen-presenting cell, completely driving the response in a susceptible pattern. One of the things that's very important in autoimmune disease is both sex and race. I'd say one of the big weaknesses we have in myocarditis pre-COVID and post-COVID has been ignoring what's going on with race. In the United States, myocarditis is 90%, 95% white men that are under 50 years of age and most of the cases are under 40 or some of the ones really associated with sudden cardiac death are under 30. So it's very specific. I've been studying sex and race differences and we see those exact differences in our animal models. In animal models, whether you're susceptible or not depends on how many mast cells you have. Well, I've proposed from the beginning, looking, I've written a lot of different sex difference reviews looking at viruses and autoimmune disease with different autoimmune diseases and hypothesizing and really seeing that mast cells do a lot of the things we're talking about. They have all of the receptors, the whole group of them that have been related to SARS-CoV-2 so they can be activated or stimulated by the virus itself. They act as a antigen-presenting cell. They're critical in the complement pathway as well as macrophages. We see the dominant immune phenotype really being macrophages. Mast cells just are usually not counted anywhere. And of course, these receptors, a lot of them have to do with enzymes and things that are all related to mast cells pathways. Then how they activate the immune response and lead it towards the pathway that leads to chronic autoimmune disease with increased autoantibodies in females, mast cells are very different by sex. This has to do also when we talked in the Review about myocarditis and pericarditis. It's both those appearing. Although clinically, we have really boxed them as separate things, because there is some definite clinical pericarditis phenotypes that are different, myocarditis in animal models is always myopericarditis. It always then, in that outer pericardial areas where mast cells sit, they sit around the vascular area in most concentrated. So when they degranulate, we see inflammation coming in the vessel, but really concentrated with fibrosis there and along the pericardium. So that's very typical of what's going on. When we shift anything that shifts that, it changes whether you have more pericarditis or less pericarditis and the vascular inflammation by altering anything that affects the mast cells. I talk a little bit about in the review, I think there's only been a few recent things looking at it in COVID, but I think mast cells and certain susceptibility to autoimmune diseases that occur more often in women can really predispose.We need to pay more attention to mast cells and what they might indicate for all these pathways. Milka Koupenova: I think we should study the platelet mast cell access at this point. DeLisa Fairweather: Yes. Milka Koupenova: Because as you're talking about these sex differences, which is spectacular, these things to me are so mind-boggling how one, the infection itself would be more prevalent in men, but then long COVID is more prevalent in women. All of these things and why we understand so very little, what we found about a few years ago in the Framingham Heart Study in the platelets from those people is that all toll-like receptors are expressed at the higher level in women and they associate with different things between men and female. For instance, toll-like receptors in women will associate more with a prothrombotic response while in male with pro-inflammatory response. I think they grossly underestimate the amount of our sex differences from cell to cell. DeLisa Fairweather: It is, yeah. Mina Chung: One other thing that I learned about the sex differences from this compendium is Mark Chappell also notes, you mentioned TLR and TLR7 and ACE2 are X chromosome in an area that he says escapes X-linked inactivation. So it could very well be involved in further. DeLisa Fairweather: Further, yeah. And ACE2 is expressed more highly in male cells for what's been researched because of the sex difference in COVID, both the COVID infection Cindy St. Hilaire: So a variety of organ systems are impacted in patients with PASC, also referred to as long COVID, the lungs, the heart, the pancreas, the GI system, pretty much any system, the brain, nervous system. We've just been talking about the mast cell impact. I was really thinking in my head, well, the one thing that connects all of it is the vasculature. I'm a vascular biologist, so I have certain biases, I'm sure, but how much of the sequelae that we see is a function of vascular phenotypes? Milka Koupenova: I do think the vasculature is super important. It's clear that not all endothelial cells, for instance, will pick up the virus and respond to it. That's why you have this patchy breakage when you look at autopsies. Hence, platelets will respond according to what's local. That's why you find these micro thrombotic events at certain places. Why does it happen in each organ? How does the virus get to each organ to respond? Or is it just inflammation, but why is it in specific places? That's what we don't understand. That's where we need to go. Perhaps, as DeLisa points out, perhaps it's a lot more complicated than how we traditionally think of thrombosis. Actually, my personal bias, again 100% sure that it is a lot more complicated than the traditional mechanisms that we have understood, and that's where the immune system comes and autoimmunity perhaps stems from and they probably speak to each other, right? It's not just one thing. DeLisa Fairweather: Yeah. I think really, EVs are bringing lots of understanding. A lot of things we used to just think were maybe free-floating and the serum are inside EVs. I think that the immune response is perhaps even more specific than we ever thought and more regulated than we ever understood. When an EV comes through a cardiomyocyte, whether it's from the mitochondria or through a lysosome, is part of what goes into its outer membrane, something that tells the immune system that that came from the heart, so it knows to go. This will solve a lot of our questions with autoimmune disease if it's very specific like that. It doesn't just have to be the release of free-floating cardiac myosin. We know cardiac myosin is the driver of the autoimmune response in myocarditis, but they're probably much more fine-tuned. Cindy St. Hilaire: Yeah. I just would love to end with hearing from each of you. You each have your own domain of specialty. If I gave you a massive pot of money, what would be the question you would want to tackle? What's the gap you would love to answer? Milka Koupenova: We still don't understand specifically what kind of vesicles are coming out, what are their contents in addition to those vesicles. We don't understand. When it comes to platelets, what comes from their granules? We see these breakages of the membrane. Those are non-granule proteins, and non-granule proteins, they serve as dangerous associated molecular pattern signals and can be profoundly inflammatory to the surrounding environment, can be procoagulant. What are those? How are they affecting the surrounding environment? Ultimately, why is there a microthrombi? Why is there not a profound thrombosis everywhere? Thank goodness there isn't, but why isn't? That's what I would do with my money. DeLisa Fairweather: I think I would do something very similar. All of our research in our animal model, on the one side, we are looking in this viral myocarditis animal model and finding the EVs that come from that are driving myocarditis. On the other hand, we're using EVs that come from healthy human plasma or fat, and we're seeing a profound downregulation of everything if you give it early and we're trying to see how late you can give it and still get an effect. So looking at those and really understanding the components in the context of COVID and COVID vaccines to understand those components, I really think that's the future of where we're going to find what's causing disease and also how we can find therapies. They may be able to reverse this. Mina Chung: Yeah, I'm interested very much in the autoimmunity and the autoantibodies that are and how they may react with those microthrombi. Perhaps there's autoantibodies within a lot of that material. We're looking at using human and pluripotent stem cell-derived cell models to study the effects of those. That is what I would use our money for. Cindy St. Hilaire: Well, Dr Mina Chung, Dr DeLisa Fairweather, Dr Milka Koupenova, thank you all so much for joining me today and talking about not only the articles that you wrote and with your colleagues, but also other articles in this amazing compendium.

Last January, the Central Bank of Ireland (CBOI) identified AML/CFT check weaknesses in payment and e-money firms. The CBOI published a 'Dear CEO' letter to payment and electronic money firms outlining supervisory findings and expectations on AML/CFT obligations. The letter's summary by Grant Thornton can be found here. According to the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) of Ireland's Central Bank, more than €3 billion of criminal proceeds move through the Irish financial system, as stated in their report "Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing Trends in 2020". According to a report from the Central Bank of Ireland, the number of suspicious transaction reports (STRs) filed by financial institutions in the country has increased steadily in recent years, with a total of 30,000 STRs filed in 2020. The number of suspicious transaction reports (STRs) filed in Ireland has increased from 14,371 in 2015 to 30,000 in 2020, representing more than a two-fold increase in SARs. One company that is helping to beat financial is Salv and Ronan talks to Taavi Tamkivi, their CEO and co-founder. Taavi talks about his background, what Salv does, applying new regulations, cryptocurrencies, their recent fundraising and more More about Salv: Salv is a leading regtech start-up that is helping financial institutions and payment providers in Europe and the UK to meet their AML screening, monitoring, and customer risk assessment needs. Their platform, Bridge, is a collaborative crime-fighting platform that is GDPR-compliant and proven effective against money laundering, Authorised Push Payment fraud, and sanctions evasion. Over 50 financial institutions across 13 countries are already using Salv's products and services to fight financial crime. Salv recently closed a €4m fundraising round with plans in place to expand to further geographies in Europe.

Today's show opens with Representative Jim Jordan (R-OH) saying he has evidence the 51 US intelligence members who signed that letter, were in on the lie, which originated from the Biden Campaign calling Hunter Biden's laptop Russian disinformation. Representative Matt Gaetz (R-FL) also commented on this fact, saying there is even more to come after this. On a parallel note, Representative James Comer (R-KY) and his committee spent the day at the Treasury looking at thousands of pages of financial records associated with the Biden Crime Family's suspicious activity reports (SARs). After today, they know believe the Crime Family is now up to 9 family members. Representative Nancy Mace (R-SC) put out a video tweet to her followers saying she is in shock at what they've uncovered thus far. We have to remember, everything the Democrat party does is fake or based on a lie. Everything. From the original Steele Dossier to the Mueller investigation, both impeachments, the J6 Committee...it's a nonstop list of made up allegations to force hoax investigations. I take a short side trail to discuss ballot harvesting and how bad it is if we do not put a stop to no-excuse mail-in ballots. I explain how the Democrats have been using block captains and paying bounties to take advantage of our mail in system. It has to be stopped. Showing just how unintelligent she is, Representative Katie Porter (D-CA) has no issue with men pretending to be women and intruding on women's sports. She also believes Congress should have police powers over the Supreme Court of the United States of America. This is also the same mentally unwell, deranged person who dumped a scalding pot of mashed potatoes on her ex-husband's head to win an argument – that's according to her divorce proceedings. Finally, in a short segment, we thank Axios for reporting on the Senate COVID origins report just released, detailing the lab leak theory is all but certain at this point. We know they were a little late getting to where we've been for years, but it's nice to have them finally on the right path.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: A write-up on the biosecurity landscape in China, published by Chloe Lee on April 8, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Hello everyone, This is my first post on this forum and I am excited to share the output of my work supported by the Long Term Future Fund. My write-up is titled "China's Take on Biosecurity: A Report on China's View, Institutions, Policies, and Technology". It is now published on the Social Science Research Network (SSRN) preprint site, see here. I would like to thank my mentor (requested to remain anonymous) for being incredibly helpful and encouraging throughout my biosecurity and EA journey. She provided excellent advice in shaping the research direction, writing the structure, and coming up with the content. I would also like to extend my thanks to Jonas Sandbrink for suggesting that I focus my research on understanding the biosecurity landscape in China and for taking the time to review my write-up. Last but not least, I want to express my gratitude to the following individuals for their constructive feedback and suggestions: Brian Tse, Ziya Huang, Myron Krueger, and Ruowei Yang. Scope and Methodology My conversations with Jonas Sandbrink helped shape the initial research directions for the project. We had some preliminary understanding that the Chinese community supports international pathogen surveillance and zoonotic risk prediction efforts, but not much beyond that. To further investigate this topic, we wanted to identify key points of contact (the government, researchers, and policy advocates) for biotechnology regulations and biosecurity, particularly governance against the deliberate misuse of biotechnology and biological weapons. After conducting initial research and discussions with my mentor, we concluded that it was important to tease out the Chinese term for biosecurity and its definition in the first part of the write-up to provide the necessary context to understand how biotechnology and biosecurity are governed. I studied multiple relevant terms, the interpretations provided by various academic researchers, and the context and frequency in which the terms are used in both Chinese and Western literature. The subsequent sections of the write-up focus on three areas: governance, processes, and technology related to biosecurity within the context of shengwu anquan in China. To comprehensively describe various perspectives on biosecurity, I adopted the common consulting framework of “People, Process, and Technology”. Each aspect of the framework could very well be a standalone research project in and of itself. Nonetheless, I tried to capture as many interesting and relevant observations as possible based on secondary research and analysis of various sources between 2002 and 2022 including peer-reviewed scientific journals, press announcements, government reports, and online searches via Google, Baidu, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI). What follows is a list of questions and excerpts from the write-up that illustrate the current state of development of biosecurity in China. Findings The Concept of Biosecurity in China How did the concept of biosecurity come about in China? World War II biowarfare (inflicted upon Chinese civilians and war prisoners in the 1930s-1940s), the advent of genetic engineering in the 1970s, and infectious disease outbreaks (SARS in 2003) spurred awareness of biosecurity in China and encouraged their participation in international treaties and the development of regulations. How do the Chinese communities define biosecurity? Various terms have been used to describe biosafety and biosecurity, including shengwu anquan, shengwu anbao, neibu shengwu anquan, and waibu shengwu anquan. Until today, there remains no consensus on the most accurate term and meaning for biosecurity. According to the ...
在這一集節目中,我們邀請到導演林君陽,以及電影主角王柏傑、曾敬驊,一起來談談他們在4月14號要推出的新片《疫起》。 今年正值SARS的第20週年,無數台灣人的生活因此受到影響,更是第一次面對疫情帶來的恐懼、無助和孤獨。 而《疫起》所描繪的,正是因病毒壟罩而受困在醫院的人們,以及他們所經歷的種種掙扎和抉擇,並藉此深入探討了人性的光輝與黑暗面。 這部片逼真地呈現醫療現場,營造封閉空間的高壓氛圍,讓觀眾深刻體驗到,被受困其中的視角和心境。藉此,也從中帶給觀眾一個反思:在危機中的我們,應如何學會勇敢? ▬ ▬ ▬ ▬ ▬ ▬

April 1, 2023 is the 20th anniversary of the Asian pop icon's death. Synopsis: Can I Tell You Something Crazy is a new scripted series under the #PopVultures banner, which examines with fresh eyes, events that shook Asian media and entertainment. On April 1, 2003, the world was shocked by the loss of one of the most beloved, enduring and seductive stars to ever grace screens. Singer and actor Leslie Cheung died by suicide at the age of 46, leaping to his death from the 24th floor of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Hong Kong, after succumbing to a battle with severe depression. 2003 was a dark year for Hong Kong. The Sars epidemic ravaged the city. Yet, Cheung's death ignited a wave of public grieving, with people lining the streets outside his memorial to mourn him. The singer-actor was beloved and known for his androgynous style onstage and his acclaimed performances in films like Days Of Being Wild (1990), Farewell My Concubine (1993) and Happy Together (1997) onscreen. Off screen, his personal life, especially his sexuality, was highly scrutinised. Host Jan Lee celebrates Cheung's life on the 20th anniversary of his death. She looks at the star's legacy as a queer icon - both in his pop music and his film roles - and how his tragic end highlighted the stigma around mental health and his own sexual orientation.

Welcome to the Music Business Worldwide Podcast supported by Voly Music. On this episode, MBW founder Tim Ingham speaks to Ola Sars, founder and CEO of Soundtrack Your Brand.A graduate of Harvard Business School, Sars went on to become the co-founder and COO of Beats Music – the music subscription streaming service, associated with Beats By Dre headphones, that would become Apple Music. In 2013, Sars launched Soundtrack Your Brand (then called Spotify For Business) as a JV with Spotify. The premise is simple: a music streaming service specifically made for businesses – whether multi-nationals or mom'n'pop shops.In 2018, Sars spun the company out of that ownership structure as the independent Soundtrack Your Brand (although Spotify remains a minority investor today).One of his key arguments: any business playing music from an individual's Spotify account is breaking the terms and conditions of their agreement with the service. Said businesses, according to Sars, should be paying a premium monthly fee for a streaming service that clears them to play music for their customers (and which, ideally, also recommends music designed to draw more purchase activity from consumers).Sars calculates there are 100 million different types of public-facing businesses globally that are a target market for this kind of B2B music streaming service.Between them, he says, they could bring in an additional $40 billion of revenue into the music industry. Right now, Sars is some way from that kind of target: In 2022, Soundtrack Your Brand turned over 214 million SEK, which works out at just over $20 million US dollars. However, that revenue wasn't far away from doubling year-on-year – up 61% on 2021. As you read this, Soundtrack Your Brand has just over 54,000 paying monthly subscribers globally.Sars says there's much more to come...The Music Business Worldwide Podcast is supported by Voly Music.

On March 17th, 2023, the news cycle was dominated by the announcement of an “international team of virologists and evolutionary biologists” that claimed to have analyzed data from China that showed raccoon dogs at the Wuhan Seafood Market were linked to the origin of COVID-19. Unfortunately, the scientists were unable to provide the data they had analyzed for independent examination. Baffling to many was that the data used to implicate raccoon dogs as the reservoir animal for SARS-2, was the same data that had previously been analyzed in a preprint last year. Using the same data, the authors of the preprint concluded that the Wuhan Seafood market was a super spreader location not the location of the origin of COVID-19... The evolutionary virologists implicating the raccoon dog were the usual suspects. A cabal of virologists that Jonathan Latham refers to as “Fauci's COVID-19 Origins SWAT Team...” A small group of virologists who've tried to maintain the false narrative that science shows that COVID-19 was the result of natural spillover and attacking those providing evidence that suggests COVID-19 originated from a lab. Some of these evolutionary biologists are the same ones that told us three years ago that a virus 99% similar to SARS-CoV-2 had been isolated from pangolins and that pangolins could be the missing link in the natural spillover to humans... They were wrong. Now, they're telling us it's a raccoon dog. Today, I interview Steven Massey to discuss the claim by “The Usual Suspects” that “the data shows” the racoon dog is the new pangolin. Dr. Massey is a researcher in bioinformatics, metagenomics and genomics, complexity and molecular evolution.
In this week's episode, Warren Ingram answers your questions about ETFs, whether it's better to withdraw your dividends or reinvest, as well as questions about tax savings on RA/ pension funds if you immigrate. Questions/ Topics:My question is about ETFs that payout dividends versus ETFs that reinvest the dividends. Can you please discuss the pros and the cons of each if faced between two ETFs, let's take the MSCI World distributing or the MSCI world accumulating which one is better? And should the decision of which one you select be influenced by perhaps your age, is it suitable for youngsters or more suitable for retired/ unemployed people who want a regular income? My question is regarding tax on one's RA/ pension upon immigration versus the tax savings that one gets from SARS for contributing to your RA/ pension. Is it fair to say that the tax that you pay when you immigrate is equivalent to the tax savings you have enjoyed from SARS? Or is the tax on immigration greater than the savings you've enjoyed from SARS for contributing to regulation 28? Or is the reverse true, do you actually save more by contributing to RA/ pension? Have a question for Warren? Don't forget to voice note your questions through our WhatsApp chat on (+27)79 807 8162 and you could be featured in one of our episodes.

3月11日-18日。这一周,2023奥斯卡金像奖完整获奖名单揭晓,电影《瞬息全宇宙》获得了包括最佳影片在内的七项奥斯卡大奖,主演杨紫琼也因这部影片成为奥斯卡史上首位华裔影后。这部电影的火热,让2022年6月文汇报发表的一篇影评《瞬息全宇宙:花哨形式与单一想象》受到了关注。文章在提到主角的同性恋女儿时用了“生活西化”一词来形容,似乎是刻意规避敏感词,由此引发了大量网民的狂欢式嘲讽,相关微博话题“#生活西化的女儿”一度大火。善于“用魔法打败魔法”的网民很快发明了“生活西化”一词的新用法:“冈本六君子之一”的粉红博主 @上帝之鹰 近期因写小黄文(包含同性内容)遭到了微博禁言,于是有网民想出了一个话题“#上帝之鹰生活西化被禁言”,最终将之转化成了新的敏感词。 3月14日,B站UP主、抖音博主 @户晨风 因拍摄了一段养老金挑战视频,被两大平台封禁。他本想在成都街头展示“普通民众一天养老金的购买力”,结果遇到了一位月退休金仅107元的78岁老婆婆,意外的把挑战变成了“养老金月购买力”挑战,揭露了底层民众的苦难。有网友调侃 @户晨风 大概是触犯了“恶意传播事实”、“泄露国家机密”等罪,而“老爷心善,看不得穷人受苦”,所以把视频都给删了。 “SARS吹哨人”蒋彦永医生于本周3月11日去世,享寿92岁。他当年以非凡的勇气和良知说出非典疫情的真实情况,无形中拯救了许多人的生命,避免了更大规模的疾病流行。“讲真话”也成了蒋彦永医生留给世人的重要遗产。二十年间,两场疫情凝结在蒋彦永身上的,是一个人讲真话的故事,也是一个人讲真话的分量,如同 @户晨风 在抖音直播中留下的那句临别“遗言”——“我为自己所有的言行负责,我对得起自己的良知与人格,我对得起直播间每一位网民,我对得起历史的审判。” 时间轴: 01:30 编者的话 07:50 一周荐读 13:50 一周关注 21:25 一周讽刺 22:22 一周故事 在中国数字时代YouTube频道观看视频播讲:https://www.youtube.com/@CDTChinese/videos 在中国数字时代网站阅读全文:https://chinadigitaltimes.net/chinese/693970.html 在电报(Telegram)平台向我们投稿:https://t.me/cdtmedia_bot 支持CDT: https://chinadigitaltimes.net/chinese/paypal

Entering year four of the pandemic, Rob Wallace has diligently, and extensively, written two books worth of essays on the various facets of the SARS-2 outbreak, many of which are examined in this interview. Rob skewers the Biden administration's political, institutional, and rhetorical approach to the BSL-3 [Biosafety Level 3] pathogen's burn through the population, picking apart the scientism, employed by both the political elite and their media lackeys to rationalize and normalize the mass death and disability of millions. Considering the dystopian realism the parasitic capitalist class is bringing to bear, what does collective care and radical organizing look like in this time? There are numerous manifestations, but one worthy of note is the People's CDC, “a coalition of public health practitioners, scientists, healthcare workers, educators, advocates and people from all walks of life working to reduce the harmful impacts of COVID-19.” Wallace, in his capacities as a trained evolutionary epidemiologist, is the public face and voice of COVID This Week, a freely available, weekly released video series that coalesces pandemic data, medical research, and public health policy analyses, published on the organization's website and YouTube channel. I ask Wallace how this collective endeavor began, why it exists in the first place, its strengths and weaknesses, and its growing and continued relevance in our current moment. Rob Wallace is an agroecologist, economic geographer and evolutionary epidemiologist at the Agroecology and Rural Economics Research Corps in St Paul. He is the author of ‘Big Farms Make Big Flu'; ‘Dead Epidemiologists: On the Origins of COVID-19'; and ‘The Fault in Our SARS: COVID-19 in the Biden Era.' He has consulted for the Food and Agriculture Organization and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Dr. Richard Fleming is a cardiologist specializing in nuclear medicine who has proven a direct correlation between inflammation and heart disease. Dr. Fleming holds a PhD in particle physics, graduated from the University of Iowa College of Medicine and later completed a law degree. He is the inventor of the Fleming Method for Tissue and Vascular Differentiation and Metabolism, a method that quantifies tissue activity due to inflammation and infection. In the past Richard has taught at the University of Texas and conducted cardiological research at Methodist College and Creighton University. Since the declaration of the Covid pandemic, he has put his attention on uncovering the health risks from both the SARS-2 virus and the Covid-19 vaccines, exposing the medical risks, and researching the genetic engineered origins and gain of function research behind the SARS-2 virus. Dr. Fleming is the author of "Is Covid-19 a Bioweapon: A Scientific and Forensic Investigation," which takes a hard critical look at the available evidence that identifies clear genetic anomalies that could only have occurred through gain of function research. His Crimes Against Humanity Project is dedicated to gathering the evidence for a genetically engineered coronavirus. Dr Fleming's website is FlemingMethod.com, and a call to action to advance the indictment can be found at 10Letters.org
Veteran health and science journalist Helen Branswell joins guest host Mann to reflect on the third anniversary of the COVID-19 pandemic and the 20th anniversary of the SARS outbreak in Toronto. Branswell is widely regarded as one of the first journalists in North America to report news of the virus for the U.S. health website STAT. The Canadian journalist shares her thoughts on the increasingly political nature of health reporting, why the public needs to be better informed about how science evolves, and lessons learned.
The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4: According to Congressman James Comer (R-KY), the United States Treasury Department has agreed to provide the House of Representatives Oversight Committee with access to suspicious activity reports (SARs) involving Hunter Biden business deals. While speaking with Glenn Beck, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis criticized public health officials for attempting to bully him into adopting nonsensical, overly restrictive policies during the COVID-19 pandemic. The media has endlessly criticized Gov. DeSantis for his pandemic decisions. Meanwhile, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer is now conceding that some of the COVID-era lockdown measures were “a little more than what we needed to do.” According to reports, during a meeting about the U.S. government's bailout of Silicon Valley Bank, Senator Mark Kelly (D-AZ) suggested that social media companies should be permitted to censor material that might lead to Americans withdrawing their money from savings accounts and causing a “bank run.” Sen. Kelly denies the reports. Signature Bank spent millions of dollars creating cringe parody songs—no wonder they collapsed!
The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (03/14/2023): 3:05pm- While appearing on The Daily Show with Kal Penn, President Joe Biden claimed it was “close to sinful” that states like Florida have passed legislation restricting “gender affirming” surgeries on children. 3:30pm- A recent National Public Radio (NPR) report by Lesly McClurg on Weekend Edition Sunday cited clinical research that indicates “[t]ransgender and non-binary people are up to six times more likely to also have autism.” Read more here: https://www.npr.org/2023/01/15/1149318664/transgender-and-non-binary-people-are-up-to-six-times-more-likely-to-have-autism 3:45pm- According to a report from The Philadelphia Inquirer, babysitting rates in the Philadelphia-area are skyrocketing. 4:05pm- According to The Daily Wire's Ryan Saavedra, “[t]wo Russian fighter jets were reportedly harassing a U.S. military drone over international waters on Tuesday morning when one of the fighter jets collided with the drone, forcing the drone to crash into the Black Sea. The U.S. European Command said in a statement that one of the Russian Su-27 aircraft struck the propeller of the MQ-9 Reaper drone, causing U.S. forces to have to bring the MQ-9 down in international waters.” Read Saavedra's story here: https://www.dailywire.com/news/russian-fighter-jet-collides-with-u-s-military-reaper-drone-over-black-sea 4:20pm- On Tuesday, Pentagon Press Secretary Air Force Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder held a press conference to address a morning collision between an American drone and a Russian fighter jet over the Black Sea. According to Brig. Gen. Ryder, although the $32 million MQ-9 Reaper drone crashed, Russia had “not recovered the aircraft.” 4:30pm- According to a report from CNN's Natasha Bertrand, “Russia has been capturing some of the US and NATO-provided weapons and equipment left on the battlefield in Ukraine and sending them to Iran, where the US believes Tehran will try to reverse-engineer the systems.” You can read Bertrand's full report here: https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2023/03/10/politics/russia-iran-ukraine-weapons/index.html 4:45pm- A far-left, self-described “craftivist” attempted to make Florida Governor Ron DeSantis look foolish while posing for a photo with him—but instead she made him look like a nice guy. So, why is the Philadelphia Inquirer glorifying her? 5:05pm- While appearing on The Daily Show with Kal Penn, President Joe Biden claimed that “we are going to need fossil fuels for at least the next 10-years.” He also warned that if we don't combat climate change and keep the global temperature from rising, “a whole generation will be damned.” 5:20pm- The Mystery Movie Clip! 5:30pm- Pennsylvania State Representative Amen Brown—and Philadelphia Mayoral Candidate—joins The Rich Zeoli Show in-studio to discuss his newly released “Public Safety, Enforcement, and Crime Reduction Plan” which details a comprehensive, 19-page strategy to remedy Philadelphia's record level of gun violence. Rep. Brown writes, “[u]nfortunately, every Philadelphian has been forced to accept a human condition that is neither healthy, nor normal. Violent crime and the epidemic of gun-related violence has been indiscriminate, and is no longer an inner-city problem, it has touched all neighborhoods in our city as a public health crisis of massive proportions. This is a result of the benign neglect of some leaders who were inattentive to its cause, an inattention to those chronic offenders in areas of the city where higher rates of crime have historically been high…” Learn more about Rep. Brown's campaign for Philadelphia Mayor here: https://amenforphilly.com 6:05pm- According to Congressman James Comer (R-KY), the United States Treasury Department has agreed to provide the House of Representatives Oversight Committee with access to suspicious activity reports (SARs) involving Hunter Biden business deals. 6:20pm- While speaking with Glenn Beck, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis criticized public health officials for attempting to bully him into adopting nonsensical, overly restrictive policies during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Three years ago, on March 16th of 2020, President Trump stood side by side with Anthony Fauci, and they announced that America would be locking down in order to stem the tide of the SARS-cov-2 coronavirus that had just been intentionally released from the Wuhan lab in China. They called it '15 Days To Flatten The Curve', today is day 1,092, and today on the Podcast we celebrate the clever antics of the New World Order who is still continuing the ‘advance work' for the soon-coming 7-year kingdom of Antichrist. Today's program is brought to you by Pfizer. On this episode of the NTEB Prophecy News Podcast, for the past 1,092 days we have been exposing the deeds of darkness as the New World Order continues its slithering slide forward in the abyss. I'm sure it's just a ‘wild coincidence', but right now there appears to be a major banking collapse in the making as I am sure you have been reading the headlines all weekend long. It started in Silicon Valley and is now spreading around the world. Perfect timing for a New World Order celebration, wouldn't you say? I would, and I am. We have always said we will end the countdown when the shenanigans stop, but guess what? It's Day 1,092 of 15 Days To Flatten The Curve, and they absolutely have not only not stopped, they are reaching new heights. Today on the Prophecy News Podcast, join us as we show you yet again the advancement of the New World Order in these last days before the Pretribulation Rapture of the Church.

In the past few decades, we have witnessed the rise and consolidation of “evidence-based medicine” among health professionals. This refers to a systematic approach to medicine in which doctors and other health care professionals use the best available scientific evidence from clinical research to help make decisions about the care of individual patients. But the COVID-19 pandemic has managed to transform what constitutes reliable medical evidence into a topic of public concern and debate. These debates have taken place within and beyond the medical establishment, such as in news reports and social media posts. And suddenly everyone began offering an opinion on the efficacy of measures such as quarantines, lock downs, school closures, and mandatory face masks. How then should we understand “evidence”? Does evidence mean the same thing in different contexts and constituencies? In their new book, Rethinking Evidence in the Time of Pandemics: Scientific Vs Narrative Rationality, and Medical Knowledge Practices, Eivind Engebretsen and Mona Baker argue that we ought to adopt a more nuanced and socially responsive approach to medical expertise that incorporates scientific and lay processes of making sense of the world and how we decide to act in it. Using the narrative framework, they offer a model of analysis that sheds greater light on why different people arrive at different decisions based on the same sources of evidence and why we must acknowledge their reasons for doing so as rooted in different types of rationality rather than dismissing them as irrational. Eivind Engebretsen is a Professor at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Oslo, where he is also the Executive Chairman of the Centre for Sustainable Healthcare Education.Mona Baker is Director of the Baker Centre for Translation and Intercultural Studies at Shanghai International Studies University. She is also affiliated with the Centre for Sustainable Healthcare Education at the University of Oslo.

Amidst the chaos of contagion and windstorm of viral woes, Chinese medicine offers ancient remedies, and beyond that, perspectives to guide us through the turmoil.While our bodies may be ever-changing, our medicine offers both a rooted stability and capacity to follow change in the moment. There's more than one helpful way to track the winds of disharmony, to follow the tides of illness and health, and invite balance into an unsettled system. In this conversation with Daniel Altschuler, we delve into the Covid19 pandemic's tumultuous past and the challenges of the present. We discuss its parallels to the 2003 SARS epidemic, the long-term issues with some viruses, questions surrounding the vaccine, and the multifaceted approaches of East Asian medicine in treating these wind viruses.Listen into this discussion on the personal and clinical experience of restoring balance in the face of Covid.

Why Are Gas Stoves Under Fire? If you were online at all last week, you probably encountered conversations about gas stoves. The sudden stove discourse was sparked by a comment made by a commissioner on the Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC) to a Bloomberg reporter, in which the commissioner discussed plans to regulate gas stoves. Those comments morphed via repetition into inaccurate rumors of an impending ban on stoves fueled by ‘natural gas,' or methane, currently used in around 38% of US homes. The CPSC later clarified that the agency was “researching gas emissions in stoves and exploring new ways to address health risks,” but was not looking to ban gas stove use. That said, studies have found that gas stoves are a major source of indoor air pollution, and can emit nitrogen oxides that have been found to exacerbate asthma symptoms. Last summer, the American Medical Association adopted a resolution informing physicians of the stoves' link to asthma. A report published in December estimates that over 12% of childhood asthma cases may be attributable to gas stove emissions. The stove debate flares beyond asthma, however. Some municipalities, including New York City, are moving to phase out the use of natural gas in new construction for reasons related to climate change. And Washington state has put in place rules mandating the use of electric heat (with fossil fuel-derived heating allowed as a backup option) in new construction this year. Rebecca Leber, senior reporter covering climate at Vox, joins Ira to explain the heated words over gas stove use, and how they fit into a larger battle over fossil fuel usage and climate change. What Will The Next Generation Of COVID-19 Vaccines Look Like? The first COVID-19 vaccine was approved just over two years ago. Since then, the virus continues to mutate. With each new variant, the virus seems to evade our current vaccines more effectively, faster than we can make effective new mRNA boosters. Coronaviruses frequently spill over from animals to humans, like the original SARS and MERS viruses, which are both types of coronaviruses. Researchers are working on the next generation of coronavirus vaccines that aim to protect us against multiple emerging variants—and even prevent future pandemics. Ira talks with Dr. Pamela Bjorkman, professor of biology and bioengineering at the California Institute of Technology, about her work to develop a vaccine that would protect against several types of coronaviruses. And later, Ira talks with Dr. Akiko Iwasaki, professor of immunobiology and molecular, cellular, and developmental biology at Yale University, about the nasal vaccine she's researching and the hurdles in bringing it to market. The Sweet Song Of The $7 Violin Stringed instruments can be a joy to the ears and the eyes. They're handcrafted, made of beautiful wood, and the very best ones are centuries old, worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, or sometimes even millions. But there's a new violin in the works—one that's 3D-printed. It costs just a few bucks to print, making it an affordable and accessible option for young learners and classrooms. Dr. Mary-Elizabeth Brown is a concert violinist and the founder and director of the AVIVA Young Artists Program in Montreal, Quebec, and she's been tinkering with the design of 3D-printed violins for years. She talks with Ira about the science behind violins, the design process, and how she manages to turn $7 worth of plastic into a beautiful sounding instrument. Learn more about the project, as well as its progress, beta testing, and release date at www.printaviolin.com. Transcripts for each segment will be available the week after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.
