Synopsis: Explore the forefront of biotech innovation as host Rahul Chaturvedi interviews Dr. Dave Bearss, Co-Founder & CEO of Halia Therapeutics, in this engaging episode of Biotech 2050. Dr. Bearss shares the story behind Halia's pioneering genetic discoveries and their mission to tackle Alzheimer's disease. Learn about the science driving breakthrough therapies that target neuroinflammation, offering hope in the fight against neurodegenerative disorders. Packed with insights and inspiration, this episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the future of healthcare and biotech innovation. Biography: Dr. David J. Bearss, a serial entrepreneur and pharmaceutical innovator, has over two decades of experience spanning academic and industrial roles. His expertise lies at the intersection of structure-based small-molecule drug discovery and the utilization of genetic model systems for drug discovery. Dr. Bearss's career is marked by significant achievements, with a strong foundation in translational research focused on drug advancement to the clinic and using genetic markers for predictive drug sensitivity. Notably, Dr. Bearss has discovered 16 compounds that have successfully navigated from discovery in the lab to IND into clinical development. His entrepreneurial experience is evident through his roles as the co-founder of eight biotechnology companies. More importantly, his unwavering commitment to advancing novel drug development truly sets him apart. Before taking on his role as chief scientific officer at Halia in January 2021 and assuming the CEO position in March 2022, Dr. Bearss served as the CEO of Tolero Pharmaceuticals, an organization later acquired by Sumitomo Dainippon Pharma in 2017. His tenure as chief scientific officer at Montigen Pharmaceuticals, followed by its acquisition by SuperGen Inc., demonstrates his dedication to driving early-stage drug discovery and development. At SuperGen, he continued to develop his expertise in these critical areas. Dr. Bearss's academic career is equally impressive. It led to his founding role as the Center for Investigational Therapeutics Co-Director at the Huntsman Cancer Institute. He also held academic positions as an Associate Professor in the Department of Oncological Sciences at the University of Utah and as an Associate Professor of Physiology and Developmental Biology at Brigham Young University, demonstrating his deep knowledge and expertise in these fields. Dr. Bearss's academic career began with a Ph.D. in cell biology from the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio, Texas, and a post-doctoral fellowship at the Institute for Drug Development at the Cancer Therapy and Research Center also in Texas. He has won several awards for his entrepreneurial and scientific achievements, including the Utah Governor's Medal of Science and BIO Utah Entrepreneur of the Year.

Hosts: Taylor Morgan and Rusty Cannon State Legislature to discuss cell phone restrictions in schools next yearCell phone usage and restriction in schools has become a hot topic over the past several years. Educators are worried not only about distractions in the classroom, but also about the negative mental health effects constant connection to phones has on young people. The Utah State Legislature says they want to tackle this issue in the 2025 General Session. State Senator Lincoln Fillmore is sponsoring a bill that would give school districts more power to restrict cell phones, and joins the program to share insights on the proposed legislation. Groups coming out for and against new ballot initiative amendment proposalSince the State Legislature’s special session last week, several groups have come out either for or against the proposed amendment dealing with ballot initiatives. One group launched their campaign just today at the state capitol. KSL at Night hosts Rusty Cannon and Taylor Morgan discuss the arguments from groups on both sides of the issue. Drama over the September 10th presidential debateThe September 10th presidential debate may not happen as the campaigns appear to have reached a stalemate over the debate rules. The issue right now? Will the microphones say on when the other candidate is speaking. The Biden and Trump teams had agreed to mute the mics when the opposition spoke, but now the Harris team wants the mics to stay on the entire time. We dig into the reasonings. Polls show Americans are worried about political violence with upcoming electionNew polling shows that more than ¾ of voters in the country are worried about political violence ahead of the presidential election. Many are concerned that there won’t be a peaceful transfer of power; are their fears warranted? The hosts share their thoughts and discuss the importance of trusting in the electoral process.

Hosts: Greg Skordas & Leah Murray Gov. Cox endorses, will now vote for former President TrumpIn an about-face, Utah Governor Spencer Cox says he’ll now vote for and support former President Donald Trump. Just 9 days ago, Cox had recommitted to not voting for Trump. So what changed? In a letter written to Trump the day after the assassination attempt, Cox instructs the former president on how to better unify the country. Is the governor’s instruction in his letter part of his “Disagree Better” initiative? KSL at Night hosts Greg Skordas and Leah Murray delve into this latest development. Examining the Republican Party following their national conventionWith Governor Cox’s endorsement in mind, we take a look at Donald Trump’s speech and the Republican National Convention as a whole.

Still, the calls from Democrats for Biden to step aside continue to grow. We discuss Biden and the Democratic Party’s paths going forward.

Incumbent Spencer Cox is the presumptive GOP nominee, beating out Phil Lyman. While Lyman says he won’t concede, does that actually matter? Adam shares his thoughts.   Looking at the results of the U.S. Senate and Utah Attorney General races Current representative for the 3rd District John Curtis appears to have won the nomination for the open United States Senate seat. We hear how Curtis plans to represent all Utahns. KSL at Night also takes a look at the primary race for Utah’s Attorney General, discussing how Derek Brown came to lead that race.   How did the three congressional primary races turn out? Three out of four congressional districts in Utah had Republican primaries yesterday. In the 1st District, incumbent Blake Moore appears to have won. In the 3rd District, state Senator Mike Kennedy also looks to have won. But the 2nd District race between incumbent Celeste Maloy and newcomer Colby Jenkins is still too close to call. Adam discusses these races and compares them to the results at the state convention.   Examining the relationship between convention and signature-gathering candidates Throughout this whole election cycle, there’s been a rather large discussion on the way candidates make it onto the ballot: through the convention/caucus system, or through gathering signatures. Each method has its pros and cons, and Adam — as someone who’s run for office before — understands both routes. He shares some thoughts and we hear from supporters and opponents of the convention/caucus system.

Spencer Cox, a Republican. With its recent passage, this law signifies a shift in how certain state institutions might handle individual treatment, thereby leading towards the discontinuation of offices that enforce DEI principles. Moreover, the bill has implications on the way hiring processes are held, demanding these educational and government entities to maintain a balanced political stance and forbidding the use of diversity-centred statements during recruitment. It appears that the political neutrality embedded into the new state legislation encourages balanced judgments not swayed by affiliations or biased perceptions. President Taylor Randall from the University of Utah has already stated a change in their institutional approach. As of January 5, such DEI-related statements have ceased to be a part of their recruitment process, displaying a bold move towards aligning with the purview of the imminent law.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Spencer Cox, a Republican, is the 2023 Chair of the bipartisan National Governors Association. He selected "Disagree Better" to be the Association's current campaign. Through public debates, service projects, meetings, and public service announcements, Disagree Better brings together red and blue governors, looking at the problems of polarization and how to elevate solutions that Common Ground Committee and other groups in the bridging community are implementing.

Dr. Ben Erwin received his master's degree from the University of Hawaii, and his PhD from Brigham Young University. His clinical specialties include marriage counseling, addictions and working with adolescents. Ben is currently the program manager for the Addiction Recovery Program for the Church and is also adjunct faculty for Utah Valley University's Marriage and Family Therapy program. He has served as a member of the Utah Governor's Behavioral Health Workgroup and a board member of the Salt Lake County Mayor's Behavioral Health Advisory Council. He and his wife Sarah are the proud parents of five children. Highlights 03:40 Ben Erwin's background. He's a project manager for the Addiction Recovery Program (ARP) of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. He helps oversee the worldwide Addiction Recovery Program that the Church sponsors to help people find recovery through Christ. He has a varied educational background. Eventually he got a Masters degree and interned with Family Services. He has worked with Family Services ever since. He still meets with clients. 7:40 People ask Ben if it isn't difficult to be a therapist and walk through difficult issues with clients. He does walk through darkness with clients, but they don't stay there. He watches them grow and move towards the Savior. 9:30 There's not a better program to help people find hope and healing than the Addiction Recovery Program. 10:00 History of the ARP. Alcoholics Anonymous was founded by two Christian men who were suffering from alcoholism. They turned to the Bible for teachings to help themselves in their recovery. 11:00 What are the most important doctrines and principles to help someone recover and repent from addiction? Ben believes it is "the twelve steps" [of the AA program or the Church's ARP]. The twelve steps are the application of the principles. In the 1970's and 1980's, many church members were attending AA meetings and asked church leaders if they could have AA meetings at the church. That is where the Addiction Recovery Program was born. Last year, there were 400,000 "seats filled." 14:20 Ben is contacted by church leaders across the world. One of the frequent questions they ask is "What kind of help can I get?" Ben first refers the leader to a local Family Services counselor, even before he suggests the Addiction Recovery Program. 15:30 A leader can reach out to a local Family Service counselor at any time with a question about helping a member. The counselor will, for free, counsel with the church leader to develop a plan to help the member. The counselor won't tell the church leader what to do. But they will help the church leader see the issues from a therapeutic, social, or emotional point of view. 19:00 When a church leader is counseling with a member, the church leader may "prescribe" Family Services. However, even before referring the member to Family Services, the church leader can counsel with the Family Services counselor to help the church leader in their discussions with the member. Performing the consultation up-front avoids the disconnect and gives the church leader more ideas of what they can do as the spiritual minister. For example, when bishops consult with the Family Services counselor, it can help the bishop see the things the therapist can do that may be different from what the bishop can do. 22:20 There can be a misconception of what Family Services is. We frequently understand it as "the Church's therapists." Family Services' primary mission is to assist leaders to assist members to develop emotional self-reliance and overcome obstacles to keeping covenants. Therapy is part of what Family Services does, but consultation with church leaders is the primary duty of Family Services. 25:00 Some leaders may not utilize Family Services because there is not a location near them. That's fine. Even if the leader doesn't use Family Services for therapy,

The Washington Roundtable: The midsummer Presidential campaign is full of surprises, including a deluge of upcoming legal battles for the G.O.P. front-runner, former President Donald Trump. Recent federal disclosures have painted a preliminary picture of the race to raise money taking place between Republican primary contenders. The campaign of Florida's governor, Ron DeSantis, who was initially viewed as a powerful competitor to Donald Trump in the Republican primary, has spent much of its cash and been forced to lay off staff. Meanwhile, the centrist group No Labels hosted an event in New Hampshire this week co-headlined by Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia, a Democrat, and former Utah Governor and Republican Presidential candidate Jon Huntsman, raising concerns among Democrats of a possible third-party “unity ticket” shaking up the race. Plus, Trump may face his third indictment—this time, for his role in attempting to overturn the 2020 election. In a separate case against Trump, regarding classified documents, a federal judge in Florida has set the trial date for next May, shortly before the Republican nominee for President will be named in Milwaukee.
