Alignment is not on track Artificial superintelligence (ASI) may be developed in the next few years. It is unclear whether alignment is on track to be ready on the same timeframe. At a minimum, the empirical programs at AI labs are unlikely to deliver a priori confidence, before training ASI, that things will go well. We are starting a large nonprofit research organization, Sequent, that aims to clear a higher bar: We are aiming at higher confidence via a portfolio of theory and empirics bets, all of which could fail, such that if any succeed, they would give us more a priori confidence in aligned outcomes.We are investing heavily in automation to accelerate progress on these bets.We believe that theory unlocks higher automation. Taking a more principled approach offers better filters for deciding which directions of automated research are promising (a proof is worth a thousand experiments, and even a pseudo-proof is worth hundreds). Who[1]: researchers from the UK AISI's Alignment Team and Timaeus, with more to come. We're aiming at 40-80 FTE two years from now. The Alignment Team ran the £30m Alignment Project, and Timaeus has pioneered applying singular learning theory (SLT) to alignment.

In this episode, we sit down with Ohio Women's Basketball assistant coach Abby Garnett, a former Ohio Bobcat standout whose basketball journey has always been rooted in family, resilience, and an unwavering passion for the game.Some people grow up around the game.Others are raised by it.For Ohio Women's Basketball assistant coach Abby Garnett, basketball has always been woven into the fabric of her life.Growing up in Golden, Colorado, Abby was surrounded by competition, discipline, and a deep love for the sport. As the daughter of former NBA player Bill Garnett and a former collegiate point guard, basketball wasn't simply an activity—it was a family tradition. Countless hours competing with her siblings in the driveway helped shape the competitive mindset that would eventually carry her to the Division I level and beyond.But Abby's story isn't simply about basketball success.It's about resilience.It's about finding purpose through adversity.And it's about discovering that sometimes life's biggest setbacks become the foundation for your greatest opportunities.After choosing Ohio University and beginning her collegiate career, Abby faced one of the toughest challenges any athlete can experience when a significant injury altered the course of her journey. Forced to watch from the sidelines instead of competing on the court, she learned lessons that statistics could never teach. She learned patience. She learned leadership. She learned how to support teammates through difficult moments and how to focus on the things she could control when circumstances felt uncertain.Those experiences would eventually shape the coach she is today.Ironically, coaching wasn't always the plan.After her playing career ended, Abby stepped away from basketball and entered the corporate world. But sometimes the game has a way of bringing people back home.When Ohio head coach Bob Boldon called with an opportunity to join the Bobcats staff, the answer came naturally. The program that had invested in her development now offered her a chance to help guide the next generation of student-athletes.Today, Abby is building her own legacy at Ohio while helping young women navigate many of the same challenges she once faced herself.Throughout this conversation, Abby shares stories about growing up in a basketball family, learning from her father, overcoming injury, finding her identity beyond the game, transitioning from player to coach, and helping student-athletes grow both on and off the court. She also opens up about the unique experience of coaching her younger sister, Ellie Garnett, and why relationships, accountability, and communication remain at the center of everything she does.This episode isn't just about basketball.It's about family.It's about perseverance.It's about staying committed to the process even when things don't go according to plan.And it's about discovering purpose through every chapter of the journey.Whether you're a coach, player, parent, or fan of women's basketball, Abby Garnett's story is packed with lessons that extend far beyond the hardwood.Drop a

In this episode of Walk Talk Listen, Maurice Bloem speaks with Patrick Watt, CEO of Christian Aid, about what it means to lead in a time where poverty, climate, and inequality are deeply intertwined. Patrick reflects on his journey from a rural upbringing in England to leading one of the world's most respected faith-based development organizations, sharing how his background in theology and development shaped a lifelong commitment to justice. Throughout the conversation, he emphasizes that real motivation comes not from abstract goals, but from encounters with communities, partners, and supporters who dedicate themselves to a purpose beyond their own lives.   The discussion explores the evolving role of faith in development, the shifting landscape of institutional religion, and the growing importance of locally-led approaches. Patrick speaks candidly about the challenge of “letting go” of power as an organization, describing Christian Aid's role increasingly as a convener, connector, and catalyst. He also reflects on the role of prayer and perspective in sustaining leadership, and the importance of holding difference while working toward shared values of dignity, equality, and justice.   Patrick Watt is the Chief Executive Officer for Christian Aid, leading the organization in its work to tackle poverty and promote dignity, equality, and justice. He works closely with the SLT and the Board of Trustees and engages staff, supporters, partners, and sponsoring churches to realize Christian Aid's vision. Patrick has widespread experience working in development and humanitarian organizations, including Oxfam, ActionAid, and Save the Children International, where he was the Advocacy and Campaigns Director. He holds degrees in Theology from the University of Cambridge and in Development Studies from the London School of Economics.   Listener Engagement: Discover the songs picked by Patrick Watt and other guests on our #walktalklisten here.

Send us Fan MailIn vocal health and voice rehabilitation, where does the speech language therapist's role end and the singing teacher's role begin?In part 2 of this conversation, Jeremy Fisher and Dr Gillyanne Kayes go deeper into the relationship between the singing teacher and the SLT/SLP, exploring where the overlap is helpful, where boundaries matter, and why referral is sometimes the most professional thing you can do.They unpack some of the practical questions raised while teaching SLTs on a recent course in Northern Ireland, including breath management, phonation, pressure and flow, resonance strategies, vocal identity, and the challenge of helping singers transfer healthy voice function into real speech and singing.This episode also gets into the human side of voice work. What happens when a change in speaking or singing function feels like a change in identity? Why can the right exercise feel completely wrong to a vulnerable singer? And how can both professions work together without overstepping their expertise?You'll also hear some wonderfully odd but effective voice exercises, including pitch-play, negative practice, conversation training therapy, and toothbrush intelligibility work.If you heard part 1, this episode takes the conversation further, into the real-life overlap between professions, and why mutual respect, collaboration and clear boundaries are essential for healthy voice work.In this episode:00:00 Teaching vocal function to SLTs02:01 Breath, phonation, registers, pressure and flow04:32 “That's not me”, identity and singing sound07:45 Registers, chest voice, fluty soprano, and bridging mechanisms09:18 Why a new vocal setup can feel out of tune13:42 Weird exercises that actually work 14:56 Permission slips, silliness, and experimentation16:04 Humming, inner hearing and finding pitch 19:10 Meaning, melody & “Feed the dog”20:13 Starting with real speech, not isolated drills24:37 The toothbrush exercise for intelligibility, jaw release & tongue freedom29:05 What singing teachers can learn from clinical practice31:15 Respect the boundary, keep the collaborationListen if you're a singing teacher, SLT, vocal coach, choir leader, voice trainer or singer who wants a clearer sense of who does what, and why it matters.Remember to like, subscribe, and hit the bell icon for more insightful episodes.

A personality might draw a weekend crowd, but it takes a team to create the healthy systems that foster sustained growth—that's the role of the Senior Leadership Team. Without it, you're depending on heroism at the top. If the SLT is structured well, you can take the lid off your church and create space for sustained health. If it's not, you'll keep funneling everything back to the top.  In this episode, Sean and Amy talk about the Senior Leadership Team—the team of people who sit at the top of your org chart. They'll help you see: What the SLT should actually look like How the roles of each member are defined Why getting the SLT right is so important This Episode is Sponsored by PlainJoe Studios: Unlock the power of story in your worship space.

Send us Fan MailWhat's the difference between a speech and language therapist (or pathologist) and a singing teacher? Where do those roles overlap and where should the boundaries be?In this episode of This Is a Voice, Jeremy Fisher and Dr Gillyanne Kayes explore the similarities and differences between the work of an SLT/SLP and a singing teacher, especially when singers or professional voice users arrive with voice problems, vocal fatigue, or concerns about vocal health. The conversation begins after teaching a course for SLTs in Northern Ireland, where questions about overlap, gaps & boundaries kept coming up.Gillyanne and Jeremy unpack the difference between a more medicalized approach and a more functional one, showing how clinicians may be focused on diagnosis, pathology, red flags and referral pathways, while singing teachers and vocal coaches are often focused on efficiency, stamina, clarity, range, coordination and performance goals.   * when a singer should be referred onward   * why singing teachers need to stay inside their scope of practice   * how to think about vocal load   * why voice problems are often multifactorial, a “perfect storm”   * what singing teachers can legitimately observe and ask00:00 Singing teachers training SLTs01:30 Why this SLT training course was different03:45 Overlaps, gaps and boundaries05:57 Singing teachers can help retrain coordination08:33 Medicalized vs functional voice work11:42 Multifactorial voice problems and boundaries15:43 Perfectionism, performance pressure and voice recovery19:57 Case study, effortful voice through 2 different lenses23:29 What to hear, see and ask before giving exercises25:24 Why context matters more than generic exercises26:33 What is my job today in this room?28:00 Case history, profiling and trial interventions31:34 Being a detective, testing and evaluating exercisesIf you're interested in voice therapy, vocal pedagogy, functional voice training, singing teaching, rehabilitation vs habilitation, and referral decisions, this episode is packed with practical insight from two voice experts who train speech therapistsRemember to like, subscribe, and hit the bell icon for more insightful episodes.

Another Q&A episode and this one has plenty to get stuck into. Dylan and Hayden answer your questions on some topics that clearly struck a nerve.First up, a heartfelt question from an ECT who has been quietly doing an entire subject leader role under the guise of "shadowing." Dylan and Hayden call it out for exactly what it is, and offer some genuine advice on how to advocate for yourself without burning bridges.Then things get warmer. The boys share their career highlights from inside the classroom and it turns out the moments that stick are never about data. Think handwritten notes from kids, a half court basketball shot that somehow went in, and one girl who ran across a shopping centre years later just to say hello.There is also a brilliant discussion about phones in schools and whether Ofsted should be marking a school down for a single student having their phone out. Plus, a slightly awkward question about SLT leaders who have their own private fridge and kettle so they never have to enter the staffroom.They round things off with what they have genuinely enjoyed since leaving the classroom. Turns out, not feeling absolutely exhausted every weekend is quite nice.Funny, honest, and never dull. This is Teach Sleep Repeat.

In this episode were talk to Zelda Greene, Clinical Specialist Speech and Language Therapist in neonatology. Zelda was the first SLT to be appointed to the Dublin maternity hospitals and has been working in the National Maternity Hospital in Holles Street since 2021. Zelda has a long history of working in hospitals including Tallaght and Crumlin hospital and teaches in Trinity College Dublin on the PG in Dysphagia.

This episode is for founders, brand builders, and retail leaders interested in how a genuinely accidental business becomes a credible, structured consumer brand. Lucie McLeod started Hair Syrup in her parents' conservatory while at university, posted one TikTok video that hit 600,000 views, and built from there — without a business plan, without investment, and without a roadmap. However this is no tale of luck, or a hapless fortune. To listen to Lucie it's clear that the brain, drive and character were ready for the tasks, the test and the chance to build her business. Cometh the hour, cometh the leader.Ian Jindal chats with Lucie about what it actually takes to grow a DTC brand through social, how to respond to a very public rejection on Dragon's Den and turn it into a marketing moment, and where Hair Syrup is heading as it moves from a single hero product into a full wash-day brand with retail distribution through Boots.Key themesAccidental origin, deliberate growth: Hair Syrup started as a personal solution to Lucie's own scalp problems, formulated using academic research and natural ingredients she sourced from health food shops. The first TikTok video was not a launch strategy. It was a genuine personal post that went viral from a standing start. The business followed the demand, not the other way around.Problem-led product development: Every product in the range maps to a specific, common hair or scalp problem — length, grease, breakage, dandruff. This was not a range strategy imposed from above; it was Lucie solving her own problems and extending outward. When she eventually worked with a chemist, he told her the formulas she had developed independently were already production-ready.Community over clinical claims: Hair Syrup has clinical efficacy data and dermatologist testing, but its primary marketing tool is customer before-and-after photos. Lucie is explicit that she dislikes prescriptive beauty content and avoids invalidating individual experiences. The community is built on openness and expectation management, not on performance guarantees.Dragon's Den as a marketing asset: Hair Syrup appeared on Dragon's Den in summer 2024, received six rejections, and then turned the episode's broadcast in January 2025 into one of the most-discussed brand moments of the year. The team trolled the dragons back on TikTok with memes — the sad hamster among them — generating 24 million profile views in under 48 hours and 100,000 new followers. The Sunday Times named Lucie Young Founder of the Year shortly after. The lesson she draws is blunt: you cannot engineer this. It worked because it was authentic.The hidden operation: The public face of Hair Syrup is Lucie on TikTok — informal, funny, behind-the-scenes. The private face is an SLT with experienced heads of sales, finance, and logistics, an in-house 3PL, and chemists with serious CVs. Most of their audience has no idea the latter exists. Lucie considers this balance a strength.Brand building beyond the hero product: Hair Syrup launched in Boots in late 2024. The NPD pipeline is structured around extending the brand's core peppermint oil product into a full wash-day system — shampoo, conditioner, scalp serum — all sharing the same scent, colour scheme, and purpose. Leave-in oils have not landed as hoped and are being rethought. The direction is deliberate specialisation rather than category sprawl.⠀What you'll learnWhy solving a genuine personal problem is still one of the most defensible starting points for a consumer brand.How to build a community that stays loyal even when the product does not work for everyone.What a rejection on Dragon's Den can teach you about the gap between conventional investment logic and TikTok-native brand value.How to structure a post-crisis response for a team that is depending on you, when you are not sure yourself what comes next.How to maintain creative authenticity and brand character while building a grown-up operational structure behind the scenes.Why gut instinct and structured decision-making are not opposites — and how to use both at the same time.⠀Chapter structureIntroduction — Who Lucie is, Hair Syrup's age and origin, and what the brand stands for todayThe accidental start — A personal hair problem, lockdown, a viral TikTok from a standing start, and the slow realisation that this could be a businessFormulation and early product range — Research, chemistry, working with a professional chemist, and extending the range along problem linesBrand positioning — Accessible, inclusive, mid-market, solution-driven, and community-centredDragon's Den — Six rejections, the edit, what it felt like, the conversation with the team, and the decision to turn it aroundThe TikTok counter-offensive — Trolling the dragons, the sad hamster meme, the BBC's reaction, 24 million views in 48 hoursStructure and scale — What Hair Syrup actually looks like behind the TikTok page, and the role of a senior leadership team the audience never sees2026 and beyond — Boots, NPD, the wash-day range, international ambitions, and staying open to where the brand might go⠀About the guestLucie McLeod is the founder and CEO of Hair Syrup, a UK haircare brand she started at 21 while studying at the University of Warwick, where she graduated with a first. She began by hand-making pre-wash hair oils in her parents' conservatory and built the brand through TikTok before establishing a wider social and retail presence. Hair Syrup now sells through Boots as well as direct-to-consumer, runs an in-house 3PL operation, and has a senior team spanning sales, finance, logistics, and product development. She was named Sunday Times Young Founder of the Year following the brand's Dragon's Den appearance in early 2025, in which she received six rejections and subsequently turned the episode into a widely covered brand marketing moment.Quotes"I was ignoring all of the signs. I had people saying, you could sell me this, and I think if I was an entrepreneur, my business brain would have thought, right, I'll take 20 quid, let's do it.""The moral of the story is make the best of a bad situation. The moral is not: try and do really badly so you can redeem yourself.""Behind the curtain, it's a really serious operation — with a lot of extremely skilled people dealing with distributors, international expansion, NPD, chemists with impressive CVs. And people just have no idea.""I wonder if I didn't have a team, if I was doing this by myself — might I have given up?""I don't like the idea that brands ever have to be pigeonholed. As long as you're open, honest, transparent and reactive, you can enjoy the ebbs and flows."--  Run time: 44 minutesINFORMATION:[

Savage Season is all about finding the real ones — and Maggie Doogan is exactly that. In this episode of SportsLifeTalk: You Got Next, we sit down with the “Richmond Rifle” herself — a 6'2 senior forward out of Richmond University who has been on an absolute tear, averaging 23+ points per game and proving she's a complete two-way force in the A-10.B Jones sets the tone with a legendary intro (including a “deadliest spider” comparison that Maggie takes like a champ), and from there the episode becomes a masterclass in confidence, culture, and competitive edge.We kick things off with Moment of Truth (two truths and a lie), where Maggie reveals she's a fourth-generation college athlete, the oldest of four siblings, and keeps the vibes rolling right into our call-to-action run that reminds the SLT family what this platform is built for: exposure, storytelling, and lifting the women's game up — one savage at a time.Then it's time for the SLT Initiation, where Maggie shares her Top 5 artists (showing real range): Taylor Swift, Morgan Wallen, Billy Joel, Michael Jackson, and Cody Johnson. She breaks down why she rocks with Spider-Man (because… spiders), and taps into her mindset with a calm, grounded pregame theme song rooted in worship — because killers don't always show up loud… sometimes they show up locked in.Maggie also explains the story behind her jersey number 44, a family connection tied to her grandfather and her basketball roots, and she puts us on to a Richmond favorite: The Continental, a campus-area spot where she's keeping it simple with a chicken Caesar salad, but makes sure everyone knows the burgers go crazy too.But the heart of the episode is The First 48 — the night Maggie dropped 48 points in a historic three-overtime win at Davidson. She walks us through how it felt, when she realized it was special, and how adrenaline took over when the game demanded more. The best part? She admits she doesn't even fully remember the details — she just clicked into a different mode. That's what real “Mamba Moments” sound like.We also get into the bigger picture: why Maggie stayed at Richmond instead of chasing portal hype or NIL noise. Her answer is real: she chose a place she could be happy for four years, a program that felt like home, and a journey she wanted to finish with her people. She's focused on winning, enjoying the moment, and letting everything else come when it's time.As the episode closes, Maggie shares what's next: continuing her career professionally (in the U.S. or overseas) and eventually stepping into coaching — with a future that feels bigger than basketball. She also shouts out her team and calls out a teammate we need to get on the show next: Rachel Ullstrom, a shooter she describes as unreal.This one isn't just hoops — it's legacy, leadership, and proof that Savage Season is built for players like Maggie Doogan.

Imagine a 6'2–6'3 power athlete who can dominate the paint, handle business on the perimeter, then turn around and pitch pure gas on a softball field. That's not a recruiting bio — that's Missy Odom.Missy is a Top-40 national prospect (Class of 2026) out of Monteverde Academy, committed to Florida State to play both basketball and softball. That automatically puts her in rare air.Call it what it is: unicorn status.Below, we break it down SLT-style — where it started, what separates her, the mindset behind leaving Alabama for the toughest prep environment in the country, and what's next for one of the most complete athletes in America.Missy fell in love with the game early — age 4 or 5 — running backyard games with her brothers.Not one brother who “let her play.”Five brothers.She rattled them off like a starting lineup: AJ, Bubba, Jojo, Memphis, Hosman.That environment matters. When you grow up battling brothers every day, toughness isn't taught — it's inherited. Missy even admitted the one who got after her the most was Bubba… and she didn't lose much.That's where the edge starts.Missy used one word coaches love — versatile — but she meant it the right way.She can:Score on all three levelsPlay inside or outDefend every positionRebound at a high levelRun the floorBring energyDo the dirty work (charges, loose balls, winning plays)That last part separates “talented” from problem.Quick BreakdownSchool: Monteverde AcademyClass: 2026Build: 6'2–6'3, powerful, built to lastBasketball Identity: Versatile scorer + elite motorSoftball Identity: High-level pitcher (pure gas)Superpower: Impacts winning without needing the ball every possessionLeaving Alabama wasn't a vibe change — it was a growth decision.Missy said it straight: there was a stretch where she wasn't playing the way she wanted. Balancing softball heavily meant basketball training slipped, and she felt herself falling behind.That's when her mom delivered the truth:“You want to be great? Go somewhere that's going to push you every day.”Monteverde is the gauntlet.You either shrink — or level up.Missy leveled up.Daily gym runs with:The #1 player in the Class of 2026Top-ranked 2025 talentThat's not ego fuel — that's reality testing.Missy said things clicked around January of last year when she realized:“I belong here. I can play with anybody.”Quiet confidence. Business-like. Dangerous.This already looks like Tallahassee:6:45 AM wake-up7:15 AM leave dorms7:45 – 3:10 classes (only four)Weights built into the school day3:45 – 6:00 practiceDinner + dorm life + bondingTuesdays & Thursdays? 6 AM workouts — up at 5:30.That's not high school structure.That's college preparation.One word kept showing up: consistency.Missy chose Florida State because the staff:Showed real loveStayed consistentRecruited her, not just the stat lineThen came the separator.After her visit, they came to watch her pitch.That matters.Yes — Missy confirmed FSU will allow her to play both basketball and softball.Basketball wraps → softball ramps (February through June).Elite stamina. Elite discipline.Missy's real number is 33 — but it's retired at Florida State.Why 33?Her mom wore it playing softball. Missy carried it in both sports.She's wearing 32 now, but the identity stays the same:family, legacy, purpose.Top 5 artists:Rod Wave, Drake, NBA YoungBoy, Jhene Aiko, Lil BabySuperhero: Batman (no explanation needed)Theme song: “Invisible Scars” (yes, she quoted it)What basketball taught her:Friendships, memories, toughness — and how the game protects her mental health whether it's a great night or a rough one.That's maturity.No fancy answers. Just real.If you're watching the next wave of women's hoops — and the next era of two-sport dominance — Missy Odom is the name.

From Melbourne, Australia to the brightest lights in American college basketball, Last-Tear Poa has one of the most powerful journeys we've ever featured on SportsLifeTalk's You Got Next.In this episode, KT and B Jones sit down with the Polynesian Princess herself — a former national champion at LSU, now a Sun Devil at Arizona State, and a player who's built her name on lockdown defense, big-moment confidence, and a fearless mindset that travels anywhere.This isn't just a basketball story.This is a story about betting on yourself, staying rooted in your culture, and turning every transition into fuel.Last-Tear takes us back to the beginning: growing up in Australia, falling in love with basketball around age nine after watching her cousin play, and realizing the game could become something bigger than just a hobby. She talks about the pride of representing her roots, how family support shaped her, and why keeping her identity and accent matters — because forgetting where you came from was never an option.She didn't get handed a straight-line path. She chose the hard route.One of the most inspiring parts of her story is how she came to the U.S. during a chaotic time (including the COVID era) and took the JUCO route — not as a backup plan, but as a calculated bet on herself.JUCO gave her a chance to grow, build her name, and earn options — and that mindset is what separates her.Because once she got her opportunity… she didn't just join a program.She joined history.Last-Tear breaks down what it was like stepping into LSU during a major roster transformation under Kim Mulkey, where the outside world had opinions, expectations, and plenty of doubt.But inside the locker room? It was all business.She shares what it felt like being part of that championship run and how preparation + belief created something unstoppable. And yes — we talk about those big-time moments that live forever, including:the pressure of competing on the sport's biggest stagebeing trusted in defensive matchups when it mattered moststaying ready as a contributor who could change the game in a few possessionsThat's what champions do: stay ready.After experiencing what it takes to win at the highest level, Last-Tear opens up about the decision to transfer to Arizona State, what she wanted next in her journey, and why this move is about growth, leadership, and writing the next part of her story with purpose.She talks about her fit as a Sun Devil, what she's bringing into that culture, and how her “unselfish, relentless, do-whatever-it-takes” style impacts the team.This episode also hits deeper than hoops. Last-Tear speaks on what it means to represent Polynesian athletes, especially young girls who don't always see themselves in this space. She's not just playing for herself — she's carrying something bigger.And one of the coolest details we cover: the meaning behind her name — and how it connects to family and legacy (including the story you mentioned about it being connected to her grandmother).Of course, she survives the SLT Initiation:✅ Top 5 Music Artists✅ Favorite superhero✅ Theme song choice (yeah… she surprised us

Die wichtigste Aussage lautet darin: Gott will, dass allen Menschen geholfen werde und sie zur Erkenntnis der Wahrheit kommen. Dieses Ziel verfolgt Gott trotz aller Widerstände von Seiten der Menschen. Das heutige Gotteswort aus 1. Mose 28 berichtet uns, wie Gott seinen Heilsplan mit der Welt durchführt, ungeachtet menschlicher Unwürdigkeit. In dem Gotteswort aus 1. Mose 28 wird uns von Jakob berichtet.

Dr. Emily Schehlein sits down with author Dr. Nathan Congdon to break down the results of the GLAUrious Study on comparing automated, gonioscopy-free, noncontact, image-guided direct selective laser trabeculoplasty with conventional SLT in open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension to reduce intraocular pressure. From the Ophthalmology article, “Randomized Noninferiority Trial of Direct Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty in Open-Angle Glaucoma and Ocular Hypertension.” Randomized Noninferiority Trial of Direct Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty in Open-Angle Glaucoma and Ocular Hypertension. Gazzard, Gus; Traverso, Carlo Enrico; et al. Ophthalmology, Volume 132, Issue 10, 1091 – 1104.

Wunderbar ist unser großer, allmächtiger Gott. In der Bibel, sowohl im Alten wie auch im Neuen Testament, können wir großartige, aber auch sehr ernste Berichte über das Handeln Gottes lesen. So wird uns in 2. Könige 5 von der Heilung des bekannten syrischen Feldhauptmanns Naeman berichtet. Er war aussätzig. Davon wurde er geheilt.

Es gibt viele Beispiele aus dem Alten Testament, wo wir gewarnt werden, von Götzen und Idolen unsere Hilfe zu erwarten. Das Resultat ist meist sehr bitter gewesen. Der Tanz in den Tod! Die Bibel zeigt uns in 2. Mose 32 solch ein Beispiel.

Glaucoma treatment is changing—and it's happening now. In this episode, Dr. Nick Bruns reveals how eye doctors are moving beyond daily drops to a new, proactive approach called Interventional Glaucoma. Discover how SLT laser therapy, MIGS procedures, and sustained-release implants (like iDose and Durysta) are helping patients control eye pressure 24/7—without the struggle of remembering drops or dealing with dry eye.

On this episode of Survey Says, a special edition of GT: The Podcast, I. Paul Singh, MD, is joined by guests Emily Schehlein, MD, and H. George Tanaka, MD, to review a real case from his practice involving a patient with glaucoma with a history of SLT and MIGS. Though the patient's IOP is at target, she is very unhappy with topical medication. The group discusses the importance of quality of life and weighs possible next steps, including drug delivery, repeat SLT, surgical intervention, or continuing as is. Later, the guests find out what Dr. Singh did, and they compare their opinions with the results of a social media poll of GT's audience.

Morgan Micheletti, MD, joins hosts Blake Williamson, MD, MPH, and Gary Wörtz, MD, to review the evolution of selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) and direct SLT (DSLT), highlighting Dr. Micheletti's experience as an early adopter of DSLT. Dr. Micheletti shares how DSLT can increase efficiency, improve surgeon comfort with the procedure, and help guide patients in the interventional glaucoma treatment pathway. The group also discusses reimbursement and financial considerations for DSLT.
