My guest is Dr. Marina Weiler, a neuroscientist and Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and Neurobehavioral Sciences at the University of Virginia's Division of Perceptual Studies, also known as DOPS. DOPS is one of the few academic research units in the world dedicated to exploring questions at the very frontier of science and spirituality—questions like: What happens when we die? Does consciousness exist beyond the brain? And how do we rigorously study phenomena often dismissed as “paranormal”? With her background in medical sciences and neuroscience, Dr. Weiler brings both a skeptical eye and an open mind to this work. Together, we'll explore how DOPS approaches the scientific study of near-death and out-of-body experiences, the survival of consciousness after death, and even reported cases of reincarnation. This is a conversation that pushes us to the edge of what we know—and what we think we know—about mind, memory, and the mysteries of being human. Join us as we get rebelliously curious.

What happens when we trade case law for cancer care? You get one of the richest, most human conversations we've ever brewed.This week on Counsel Brew, we branch out beyond the courtroom and into the clinic with Dr. Richard Hall—a thoracic oncologist whose life's work is treating lung cancer and supporting patients through some of their toughest moments.A proud Texan and graduate of Texas A&M and UT Southwestern, Rick went on to train at the University of Virginia and the H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center before returning to UVA, where he not only treats patients but also trains the next generation of oncologists. He's earned teaching awards, led UVA's fellowship program, and advanced cutting-edge research in immunotherapy, targeted therapies, and combination treatments.But beyond the credentials lies a doctor who knows that medicine is about people first. In this conversation, Rick opens up about: ☕ The emotional reality of delivering difficult news and how empathy and communication are as vital as any treatment. ☕ The evolution of lung cancer care, from chemotherapy to immunotherapy to antibody-drug conjugates (a “guided missile” approach to attacking tumors). ☕ Why collaboration among medical teams is just as important as collaboration in business or law. ☕ His personal journey from med school to oncology and the moments that shaped his calling.And because no Counsel Brew is complete without actual brew, we lighten things up with Rick's adventures as a self-taught barista—how chasing the perfect shot of espresso demands scientific precision in measurements and pressure—his favorite lattes, and the joy of finding balance through coffee.

Our 21st century digital age provides countless and unprecedented opportunities for identity development and cultural engagement. But how might these new means of social interaction impact religious institutions and their public image?On today's episode of Scholars & Saints, host Nicholas Shrum seeks out these answers with the help of Oklahoma State University's Professor of Media and Strategic Communications Rosemary Avance. In her recent book, Mediated Mormons: Shifting Religious Identities in the Digital Age, Avance explores how the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints created and negotiated its public image during the "Mormon Moment" of the 2010's. Avance and Shrum discuss the different media focuses during this period, including Mitt Romney's 2012 presidential campaign, online discussions around caffeine, the Gospel Topics Essays, and more.You can learn more about Rosemary Avance, her research, and her academic interests by visiting her faculty page.

Hello to you listening in Seattle, Washington!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds (and a bit more to visit history) for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga.Recently I read a comment on Substack about the changes being wrought by 47 and his criminal cabal to erase - as much as obscenely possible - evidence of slavery in America thereby making history disappear. Yes, many have tried to make history disappear but the stories, the oral histories, the voices, the art, books and photographs remain. Not all - but enough to stand witness.One such book, The Ghosts of Segregation, was authored by our very own Whidbey Island writer and photographer, Richard Frishman who saw what 45's administration was doing and had to do something to defy it.   Unexpectedly, while researching the Ghosts of Segregation, I found my way to the Panama Hotel in Seattle which some of you may remember as the hotel featured in the novel, The  Hotel at the Corner of Bitter and Sweet, by Jamie Ford.The Panama Hotel remains the repository of personal belongings stored there by some of the 8,000 people of Japanese ancestry who were forced from Seattle and into internment camps (known as War Relocation Centers) set up in Midwestern states as a result of Executive Order 9066. They had one week's warning.Eventually, over 120,000 men, women and children of Japanese ancestry were forced from their homes, businesses and farms on the Pacific Coast in a systematic, government sponsored exile of innocent people. Most of them were United States citizens. The incarceration turned US citizens into refugees in their own country.But the story is still alive staving off erasure. A grant from the National Park Service helped researchers document, catalogue and map the contents of suitcases, trunks, and boxes, over 8500 items left in the hotel basement. Because of the historical value of the Panama Hotel, it was designated as a National Treasure in 2015. Today the Panama Hotel serves as a living time capsule, a shrine to a community, and the site of the Japanese American Museum of Seattle.  Story Prompt: How might we change the future with understanding and compassion so as to defy fear and hatred of The Other? Write that story and tell it out loud!  And for inspiration check out the many links in the Episode Notes to access the Ghosts of Segregation as well as the Panama Hotel.   The Ghosts of Segregation by Richard FrishmanClick HERE to listen to the author, Rich Frishman tell you about his project in a short interview Click HERE to access a book discussion about The Ghosts of Segregation at University of Virginia Click HERE to visit: My Favorite Places - Panama Hotel - Ralph Munro former Secretary of StateClick HERE to read about the Japanese American Museum of SeattleClick HERE to read National Trust for Historic Preservation; Asian American & Pacific Islander History;  Panama Hotel; Histories of Loss & ResilienceClick HERE to visit Panama Hotel - Hotel at the Corner of Bitter and Sweet by Jamie FordClick HERE to visit the Panama Hotel & Owner/Caretake Jan Johnson's scrapbookClick HERE to visit the Mysteries of the Panama HotelClick HERE to read The Many Lifetimes of the Panama Hotel - Stories of the Unjustly ImprisonedYou're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

In Ghosts and Their Hosts: The Colonization of the Invisible World in Early America (University of Virginia Press, 2025), Dr. Sladja Blažan explains the foundational role of ghost stories in fostering the cultural imaginary, offering a medium for framing political ideologies, philosophical thought, racial anxieties, and social concerns. Ghosts and Their Hosts analyzes American ghost stories, considering their role as a settler colonial tool that emerged to help justify land appropriation and human labor exploitation. Dr. Blažan breaks with the long tradition of reading ghosts as harbingers of justice, arguing that early American ghost stories worked instead to suppress the presence of non-Europeans through fantasies of European transcultural incorporation. Images of sentient forests and nature possessed by spirits helped develop fixed racial, gendered, and sexualized categories, while authors used ghosts to affirm existing hierarchies and establish new ones. Focusing on the cultural exchanges between Germany, England, France, and the United States around the turn of the nineteenth century, Dr. Blažan deploys a groundbreaking ecocritical and comparative approach to shed light on this haunting subject. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

If all the noise in the popular media and online is anything to go by, differences between various generations including Gen Z, Gen X, Boomers and so on are not just real but are something that leaders and organisations need to take seriously in order to ensure their effectiveness into the future. But is that really the case? Is there really a scientific basis to support arguments and assertions about generational differences and their impact on organisations?To explore these questions, I am delighted to welcome to Brain for Business Professor David Costanza.David Costanza is a professor at the University of Virginia's McIntire School of Commerce.About our guest...Professor Costanza's research focuses on generational differences; adaptive leadership; high potential; organizational culture, decline, and death; as well as statistics and research methods.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has always been a great case study in the limits of religious liberty and tolerance in America. But what can the history of Mormonism tell us about U.S. tax history? According to Loyola University Chicago School of Law Professor Sam Brunson, quite a lot!Kicking off this new season of Scholars & Saints, Dr. Brunson sits down with host Nicholas Shrum to discuss his new book, Between the Temple and the Tax Collector: The Intersection of Mormonism and the State. Dr. Brunson details the rich history of tax law as it relates to the LDS Church, from tithing in Nauvoo to Brigham Young's hefty federal income tax liability. Throughout this history, Dr. Brunson examines specifically how taxable status—notably tax exemptions—are a cornerstone of American religious liberty that tie the church and the state together more intricately than the Jeffersonian doctrine of a "wall of separation" might imply.To find out more about Dr. Brunson and his upcoming projects, click here.

From gubernatorial vetoes to a shakeup on the University of Virginia's Board of Visitors – it's been a busy week in state politics and government. Michael Pope and Jeff Schapiro – political columnist at the Richmond Times-Dispatch – discuss the week that was.

Perhaps there is something irrational about one person attempting to write as many stories as possible about a meeting of a public institution's governing body. But that is the basic frame of this Pi Day edition of the Charlottesville Community Engagement podcast. I'm Sean Tubbs, and this week I've put a premium on going through several hours of the University of Virginia's Board of Visitors meeting to hear one specific incident. I didn't get there yet, but what follows is the perhaps most thorough town coverage of gown goings-on.In this edition:* UVA continues to meet fundraising goals (learn more)* Ellis continues to vote against any capital spending at UVA (learn more)* University of Virginia planning to phase out coal plant (learn more)* The chair of the Buildings and Grounds Committee continues to express concern about scope of proposed Center for the Arts (learn more)* UVA projects increase in graduate student enrollment through 2031 while undergraduate population will remain flat (learn more)* UVA Finance Committee endorses transfer of Virginia Guesthouse, expansion of mail pharmacy (learn more)* UVA Finance Committee briefed on need for data center (learn more)* Funding to construct UVA Center for the Arts included in General Assembly's version of the budget (learn more)First shout-out: Celebrating the community's other information organizations!There are a lot of stories each week that go out through this newsletter, but no one information outlet can put together the entire picture. That's why each regular edition ends with a section called Reading Material.Charlottesville is fortunate to have a media landscape that includes the Charlottesville Daily Progress, C-Ville Weekly, Charlottesville Tomorrow, and Cville Right Now, I curate links from these sources because I believe a truly informed community needs multiple perspectives.There's also the Cavalier Daily, Vinegar Hill Magazine, the Fluvanna Review, the Crozet Gazette, NBC29, CBS19, and other sources. But if you look every day, you'll find links to articles in national publications, all linked to give you more perspectives on some of the issues of our times.Now more than ever, journalism is needed. To be a citizen of a democracy, you must seek information from multiple sources. Consume only one and you are at risk of becoming a zombie!Second shout-out: Advertise on Information CharlottesvilleLong-time readers may know that most of the stories posted through this newsletter are also posted to Information Charlottesville. Sometimes the stories go there first! Both this newsletter and that website are part of the same information gathering operation, an operation I hope to continue to grow!There are multiple ways to contribute to Town Crier Productions.One new one is to place an advertisement on Information Charlottesville. I'm in the early days of experimenting with visual ways for organizations to get their message across to a growing audience. I've not yet put together a media kit, but I'm ready to offer a special for March. What's the special? More details in the audio version of the podcasts.Advertising on Information Charlottesville could be a great way to keep my business going while also growing yours. I think there are new ways to do advertising, but I don't know what they are until I'm allowed to continue testing. This is a public episode.

We speak with Dr. Kim Penberthy today who joined us from the University of Virginia. Kim wears many hats. She is a professor of Psychiatry and Neurobehavioral Sciences at the University of Virginia School of Medicine. She is also a board certified clinical psychologist and conducts research, teaches, and provides clinical care at UVA in psychiatry and the cancer center. She also studies and researches after death communication. She lived on a farm in a house that witnessed Civil War strife, with her mother a nurse and her father a would-be farmer surgeon. Exposed to life and death on a farm, she began at an early age asking herself and her parents metaphysical questions – long before she became a clinician and research scientist. We hear about her life changing story at the beach and fascinating surgical table stories heard from her aging father. We learn about her pursuit in researching after death communications from those who lose loved ones and how this research may help develop more wholistic therapeutic approaches to grieving.   Timestamps: 00:00:00 Coming Up 00:01:21 Introduction 00:03:50 The Division of Perceptual Studies 00:07:45 Does Your "Soul" Exist After Death? 00:13:58 Asking "What is the purpose of life?" and "What happens after death?" 00:20:26 Seeing a Person that is Dead 00:26:01 Divine Interventions 00:32:11 After Death Communication 00:42:34 Living Mindfully Across the Lifespan 00:46:26 Government Funding for Near Death Experiences 00:57:12 Aftermath of NDE's and OBE's   Episodes to check out: Dr. Bruce Greyson (ep 69), Dr. Antonia Mills (ep 88) and Dr. Iya Whiteley (ep 185)   Kim, https://med.virginia.edu/perceptual-studies/dops-staff/kim-penberthy/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/j-kim-penberthy-79017824/ Book w Morgan: https://www.amazon.com/Living-Mindfully-Across-Lifespan-Intergenerational-ebook/dp/B08LXJFNST/ref=sr_1_1?crid=4A42NNAPUGA&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.3NWBIzpE1SZHjenYF1AtZg.fOCzcGTIApPhdVhuHyTPrOIvW9O8at0lMhi9-7Gch_o&dib_tag=se&keywords=kim+penberthy+Living+Mindfully+Across+the+Lifespan%3A+An+Intergenerational+Guide&qid=1740933711&sprefix=kim+penberthy+living+mindfully+across+the+lifespan+an+intergenerational+guide%2Caps%2C135&sr=8-1     For fun, story about Meat from the Sky: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kentucky_meat_shower   To give to the Behind Greatness podcast, please visit here: https://behindgreatness.org.
