In this juicy bonus Q&A episode, we kick things off with banter about East Coast Italian-American pride, Bradshaw's first Italian adventure, and our surprising discovery of supri- Rhode Island's beloved cured pork specialty. Then we dive into listener questions: the nitty-gritty of sequencing requirements and what to do when a distracting moaner in class sparks complaints. We explore how sequencing rules can feel limiting but also inspire creativity, and how one moaner story sends Giana spiraling into a tangent about a farter—navigating complaints, boundaries, and those unavoidable uncomfortable conversations.SEND YOUR QUESTIONS TO: CAYAYOGASCHOOL@GMAIL.COM

AI and genetic medicine are converging to transform how we diagnose, treat, and prevent disease. Gene Yeo, Ph.D., unites RNA biology with artificial intelligence to speed the path from genome sequencing to personalized RNA therapeutics. Advances in sequencing have reduced costs dramatically, making interpretation and translation into treatments the real challenge. Using deep learning and large datasets of RNA-binding proteins, Yeo predicts disease vulnerabilities and identifies therapeutic targets, including in neurodegeneration and muscular diseases. Alexis Komor, Ph.D., focuses on DNA, explaining human genetic variation—particularly single-nucleotide variants—and how genome editing technologies like CRISPR can target them. She highlights strategies to correct harmful mutations and explores precise, programmable interventions. Together, their research drives discovery and enables more effective, personalized therapies.

Sarah Elk, Senior Partner at Bain & Company and global leader of its operating model work, brings a clear, pragmatic lens to why so many large-scale change efforts fail to stick. Drawing on decades of advising multinational organizations, she diagnoses the structural and behavioral traps that cause transformations to stall, and shares the disciplines that make change durable.   Elk emphasizes that transformation is not a one-off program but an enduring capability that must be “led from the top and embedded in the culture.” She cautions against outsourcing responsibility to a program office: “If the CEO is not leading it and the leadership team isn't engaged in the change, you might get something done, but it will erode quickly.”   Key Insights from the Conversation: Clarity on Non-Negotiables Many failed transformations lack a shared definition of the “non-negotiables” in the new operating model. Without them, execution becomes fragmented. “You have to be crystal clear on what's standard and what's flexible.”   Outcomes Over Activity Successful change efforts anchor to measurable business results, not just activity metrics or generic benchmarks. “It's not about hitting 80 percent of a checklist. It's about whether you've moved the needle on the outcomes you care about.”   Leadership Alignment Is a Continuous Process Alignment isn't built in a single offsite; it requires ongoing dialogue, joint problem-solving, and confronting decisions that challenge entrenched interests. “You need the leadership team acting as one—every week, every month—not just at the kickoff.”   Manage Change Fatigue Overloading the organization erodes momentum. Sequencing initiatives and celebrating visible early wins tied to strategy helps sustain energy. “People get tired. You have to show progress and give them space to breathe.”   Governance, Incentives, and Talent Must Evolve Together Elk warns that without parallel changes to systems and structures, “behavior will revert to what it was before.”   The discussion reframes transformation from a high-profile event into a muscle organizations must build and maintain. For executives seeking change that endures beyond the initial push, Elk offers a blueprint grounded in operational rigor, leadership accountability, and cultural realism.   Get Sarah's book here: https://shorturl.at/Tyotz Doing Agile Right: Transformation Without Chaos   Here are some free gifts for you: Overall Approach Used in Well-Managed Strategy Studies free download: www.firmsconsulting.com/OverallApproach   McKinsey & BCG winning resume free download: www.firmsconsulting.com/resumepdf   Enjoying this episode?

(00:01) Powerful Golf Swing Techniques for Distance This chapter explores the importance of power in golf, emphasizing how crucial it is to utilize the ground effectively for better performance. Broadcasting from Talking Rock Ranch in Prescott, Arizona, we discuss the mechanics of power in the golf swing, explaining that it all starts from the ground up. By pushing against an immovable object like the ground, energy is generated and transferred through the body to the arms, enhancing the swing's speed and effectiveness. We highlight the common misconception that power is solely about body rotation, when in reality, timing the push against the ground is key. Through power schools and practical demonstrations, we explain how to harness this energy properly, ensuring that it is released at the right moment in the swing for maximum impact. (12:25) Swing Sequencing Tools for Golf This chapter focuses on the importance of proper sequencing in a golf swing and how it impacts energy transfer from the lower body through to the club. We explore the common issue of being out of sequence, where the arms move ahead of the torso, leading to inefficient swings. A simple solution proposed is using a rope to practice, as it naturally enforces correct sequencing since you cannot push on it. This technique helps maintain the correct order of movement: lower body, torso, arms, and then the club. Additionally, I introduce a homemade training aid using a PVC pipe inside a swim noodle to provide comfort while practicing chest rotations. This tool helps protect the arms and chest, ensuring a comfortable and effective practice session. (23:51) Improving Golf Ball Striking Technique This chapter explores the relationship between club head speed and effective ball striking in golf. While increasing club head speed is often emphasized for achieving greater distance, it is crucial to maintain contact with the center of the club face to optimize ball speed and overall performance. The importance of ball speed, spin, and launch angle in achieving longer shots is highlighted, and the potential pitfalls of focusing solely on club head speed are discussed. Additionally, the benefits of practicing with specialized equipment, such as the Tour Striker club, are examined. This unique club design encourages proper striking technique by requiring the golfer to drive the club downward and forward, thereby enhancing ball striking ability and maximizing smash factor. (27:04) Improving Distance With Proper Swing Integration This chapter explores the nuances of improving your golf game with specialized equipment and techniques. I discuss the benefits of using the Tour Striker club, which requires precise ball striking due to its design that forces players to de-loft the club for optimal launch angles and distance. Additionally, I emphasize the importance of hitting the center of the clubface to enhance distance and control, regardless of whether you're using the latest technology or a five-year-old driver. We also talk about using training aids with smaller club heads to improve accuracy and consistency. Furthermore, we cover tips on proper tee height and swing mechanics to achieve the desired launch angle and reduce spin. Finally, there's a humorous look at the use of martini tees and the common mistake of setting them too low, which can impact performance. (42:29) Putting Technique Improvement Through Visualization This chapter explores the importance of clarity and specificity in putting techniques, emphasizing the use of training tools like a putting rail to ensure the shaft and head of the putter move straight back and through. We discuss how the putter head will naturally arc, and it's crucial to focus on the straight movement of the hands and arms. I also share a personal anecdote about improving my pitching skills with Jeff's guidance, which has positively impacted my overall game. Notably, I overcame challenges with my five iron, successfully executing a beautiful 168-yard shot onto the green, highlighting the interconnectedness of honing different golf skills.

In Episode 18 of On AIRR, Dr. Thomas shares his journey from immunoparasitology to pioneering TCR repertoire sequencing. He began his scientific career studying innate immune responses to parasites during his graduate work in immunoparasitology. Motivated by a desire to use advanced molecular techniques, he moved to St. Jude for his postdoctoral research, where he contributed to the development of TCR repertoire sequencing methods. The discussion covers the evolution from single-chain TCR sequencing to the development of high-throughput paired sequencing methods, culminating in the TIRTL-seq approach. Dr. Thomas explains the technical and computational challenges in TCR pairing, the innovations that made large-scale studies possible, and the importance of data quality and curation in the field. The episode highlights the impact of these advances on understanding immune responses and the future of AIRR-based diagnostics.

That's why I encourage photographers to critically assess what's included and excluded in the frame to better communicate their intent.

Cancer is among the most common and feared diseases in the modern world. Dr. Selwyn Vickers—president and CEO of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center—joins host Mark Labberton to discuss how precision oncology, data, and faith are transforming cancer treatment. A distinguished cancer surgeon and pancreatic cancer researcher, Vickers explains how groundbreaking advances in genomics, immunotherapy, and AI are transforming once-lethal diagnoses into survivable and even chronic conditions. Together, they explore not only the cutting-edge science of cancer care but also the spiritual, emotional, and social dimensions that affect every patient and caregiver. Resonating with themes of suffering, hope, and resurrection, this conversation offers clarity, compassion, and courage for all who are affected by cancer—from those newly diagnosed, to medical professionals, to grieving families and curious listeners. Episode Highlights “We're getting to a point where we will, in the next five to seven years, have a much better chance to cure people—and to make pancreatic cancer a chronic illness.” “We are in what's somewhat coined the golden age of cancer research.” “Cancer is a disease that creates an existential threat in ways no other illness does.” “If a tumour forms, it means your body's immune system has made a social contract with the cancer.” “We changed the diagnosis in 10–12 percent of the patients who come to us—sometimes from cancer to no cancer.” “Cancer care is a team sport. And our patients often inspire us more than we help them.” Helpful Links & Resources Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center BioNTech – creators of mRNA vaccines for COVID and cancer CAR T-Cell Therapy Overview (Cancer.gov) Tim Keller on cancer and hope Emma Thompson's Wit (HBO) BRCA1 and BRCA2 Genes and Cancer Risk MSK-IMPACT: Next-Gen Tumor Profiling About Selwyn Vickers Selwyn M. Vickers, MD, FACS, is the president and CEO of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) and the incumbent of the Douglas A. Warner III Chair. He assumed the role on September 19, 2022. Vickers is an internationally recognized pancreatic cancer surgeon, pancreatic cancer researcher, and pioneer in health disparities research. He is a member of the National Academy of Medicine and the Johns Hopkins Society of Scholars. He has served on the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine Board of Trustees and the Johns Hopkins University Board of Trustees. Additionally, he has served as president of the Society for Surgery of the Alimentary Tract and the Southern Surgical Association. Vickers is the immediate past president of the American Surgical Association. He also continues to see patients. In 1994, he joined the faculty of the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) as an assistant professor in the Department of Surgery, where he was later appointed to professor and the John H. Blue Chair of General Surgery. In 2006, Vickers left UAB to become the Jay Phillips Professor and Chair of the Department of Surgery at the University of Minnesota Medical School. Born in Demopolis, Alabama, Vickers grew up in Tuscaloosa and Huntsville. He earned baccalaureate and medical degrees and completed his surgical training (including a chief residency and surgical oncology fellowship) at the Johns Hopkins University. Vickers completed two postgraduate research fellowships with the National Institutes of Health and international surgical training at John Radcliffe Hospital of Oxford University, England. Vickers and his wife, Janice, who is also from Alabama, have been married since 1988. They have four children. Show Notes The ongoing threat and fear of cancer How Selwyn Vickers got into medicine Pancreatic cancer: Vickers's expertise “We are in what's somewhat coined the golden age of cancer research.” Sequencing the human genome “Is there a drug that might target the mutation that ended up creating your cancer?” Cancer as both a medical and existential diagnosis The revolution of precision oncology through human genome sequencing ”It takes a billion cells to have a one centimetre tumor.” Immunotherapy: checkpoint inhibition, CAR T-cell therapy, and vaccines Cellular therapy:   ”Taking a set of their normal cells and re-engineering them to actually go back and target and attack their tumors. … We've seen patients who had initially a 30 percent chance of survival converted to an 80 percent chance of survival.” “We know in many tumours there's something called minimal residual disease.” “Immunizing yourself against cancer is a significant future opportunity.” Managing the power of data with AI and computational oncology Cancer-care data explosion: the role of computational oncologists Cancer vaccines: breakthrough mRNA treatment for pancreatic cancer ”Didn't ultimately win. We had to suffer through her losing her life, but was so appreciative that she got much more than the six months she was promised.” Tumour misdiagnoses and the importance of specialized expertise Pancreatic cancer challenges: immune cloaking and late-stage detection In the past, one in four would die from the operation for removing pancreatic cancer Long-term survival Future of cancer detection: AI-based medical record analysis and blood biopsies More accurate blood tests to confirm conditions Using AI to select those who are high-risk for cancer Pastor Tim Keller died of pancreatic cancer. In the past, “your doctor … helped you learn how to die.” ”[God's] given man the privilege to discover those things that have been hidden. And over time we've gradually uncovered huge opportunities to impact people's lives.” The state of breast cancer research and treatment “If you get the diagnosis of breast cancer, you have a 90 percent chance to survive and beat it over a five-year period of time.” ”In general, we're in a great state of understanding how to treat breast cancer, how to detect it early, and then have selective and targeted mechanisms to prevent it from coming back.” Prostate cancer research and treatment Theranostics: using a specific antibody to target cancer cells specifically Pediatric cancer:  ”We actually treat more children for cancer than any hospital in America now, but in general, the survival for pediatric cancers is greater than 80 percent.” Emotional, psychological, and spiritual toll of cancer: importance of psycho-oncology How Sloan Kettering developed psycho-oncology to help cancer patients with mental and spiritual health Personal story: how a cafeteria worker empowers patients through food choices “We give back to them the right to choose what they get to have on their tray.” Cancer treatment is a team sport. Wit (film, Broadway play)—actress Emma Thompson plays a cancer patient studying the work of John Donne on death Socioeconomic and racial disparities in cancer care outcomes The healing role of community, support teams, and compassionate listening The importance of listening to cancer patients who are preparing to die The spiritual courage of patients and the transformative power of faith “Our patients often help us. We see the grace with which they often handle that journey.” The inspiration behind becoming a doctor: family legacy and human impact Terminal care: the sacred responsibility of walking with patients to the end Cancer research and treatment as a Christian vocation and expression of humanity Production Credits

This one starts off strong — Bradshaw and Giana chat about house elves, some important announcements, and a very crucial update about Bradshaw's date with his dream guy (trust us, it's a story worth sticking around for).After the laughs, they dive into the real topic: Why Creative Sequencing Isn't Everything.They break down what creative sequencing actually is, why some teachers may lean heavily into it, and why it can sometimes be counterproductive. Giana and Bradshaw explore how sequencing shapes the overall experience of yoga — and how overly complex or random flows can sometimes feel chaotic, create confusion, and pull students away from the heart of the practice.They advocate for meeting students where they are, building them up thoughtfully, and recognizing that being in an overly anticipatory state (always wondering "what's next") can actually detract from the yoga itself. Instead of simply leaving students feeling good in the moment, they believe great sequencing should help students both feel and learn — ideally, it should do both.They also touch on essential topics like safety, accessibility, and the big question: Who is the creative sequencing really for — the student or the teacher?Expect real talk, real laughs, and a real reminder of what yoga is truly about.UPCOMING RETREAT:Starved Rock Yoga Retreat (JULY): https://www.cayayogaschool.com/starvedrockYoga Teachers Retreat: Costa Dulce, Nicaragua (MARCH 2026): https://cayayogaschool.com/pages/teachers-retreatBE PART OF OUR FUNNY FAM: https://www.cayayogaschool.com/communityPODCAST SUBSTACK: https://thefunnythingaboutyoga.substack.com/FOLLOW US:@thefunnythingaboutyoga @cayayogaschool @gianagambino @bradshawwishLINKS:https://www.cayayogaschool.com/https://www.gianayoga.com/ Hosted on Acast.
