Host Polly Swingle is joined by Lauren Sauders, MOTR/L, CBIS, CSRS, and Vice President of Medical Affairs at Neurolutions, to talk about the IpsiHand device for stroke recovery.As an occupational therapist by training, Lauren has spent her entire career in adult neurorehabilitation. She began as a clinician at The Rehabilitation Institute of St. Louis, an affiliate of Washington University in St. Louis, where she worked alongside the research team that conceived IpsiHand in its earliest days. She helped author the initial study protocol and has grown with the company ever since - shepherding the technology through clinical trials, peer‑reviewed publications, and the regulatory pathway that earned IpsiHand both FDA Breakthrough Device designation and De Novo clearance. After clearance, she helped lead the organization through commercialization and into broader clinical adoption. Lauren has authored numerous publications and delivered presentations at national and international forums, but her most enduring focus is advocacy: ensuring that stroke survivors have evidence‑based access to therapies that meaningfully improve their quality of life. That mission is personal. Beyond the patients she has cared for, Lauren brought her grandmother into her own home during the COVID‑19 pandemic and cared for her after she sustained a severe stroke — an experience that deepened her understanding of the toll stroke takes on families as well as individuals. She is also a mother of three, including a child with a rare neurogenetic condition, and is a passionate advocate within the pediatric neuro-community as well. Her and her husband also share their home with three crazy dogs. When she isn't working or advocating, she can most often be found visiting family in Bermuda.Click the link below to visit the IpsiHand by Kandu website-https://www.neurolutions.com/Learn more about The Recovery Project!View our website at www.therecoveryproject.netCall us 855-877-1944 to become a patientFollow us on InstagramLike us on FacebookThanks for listening!
Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he covers today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this Monday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan reveals that Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has reportedly offered his resignation, admitting the IRGC, not the civilian government, is now firmly in control of Iran and its stalled peace talks with President Trump. Bryan tracks satellite images showing Iran using the ceasefire to dig out buried missiles and drones, a US Hellfire strike on a cargo ship running the naval blockade, and warnings from Chevron, Exxon, and Aramco that global oil supplies could hit a panic-buying breaking point in just two to three weeks, with prices potentially spiking past $150 a barrel. He also covers Israel's deepest push into Lebanon in 25 years and the capture of the Crusades-era Beaufort Castle, then makes the case that Trump's best play now is a bare-bones Iran deal so he can pivot to the bigger threat at home: an Islamo-Marxist Democrat movement organizing violent ICE protests with funding from Roy Singham and George Soros. Plus, Bryan unpacks the concept of Taqiyya and what it means for vetting figures like Zohran Mamdani, a screwworm case creeping toward Texas cattle country, a promising new blood test that distinguishes four forms of dementia with 92% accuracy, and surprising research on how multiple AI chatbots can fact-check each other to deliver better medical answers.

In this episode I sat down (though at our standing desks) with the great Jen Heemstra. Jen is the Charles Allen Thomas Professor of Chemistry and Department Chair at Washington University in St. Louis. I learned, among other things, that Jen never planned to be a chemist. She was headed toward bioethics law when a night job in a stockroom changed her trajectory entirely. Now she runs a nucleic acid chemistry lab, chairs a major department, and has just published "Labwork to Leadership: A Concise Guide to Thriving in the Science Job You Weren't Trained For" (Harvard University Press), a book for STEM researchers used to working in isolation who suddenly find themselves responsible for the success of other people.We dig into how scientists end up in leadership roles they were never prepared for, what a department chair does and who they answer to when nobody is technically their boss, and how Jen went from "I could never write a book" to finishing one in 45-minute early-morning writing sessions spread across a few years and while moving between institutions. We also lament the loss of academic Twitter, where we are finding community now, and other topics I've been dying to ask her about. You can find out more about Jen and her book at jenheemstra.com. It's also available on Amazon and all major retailers. I couldn't recommend it more. Instant classic in STEM leadership.

In this episode of Imperfect Leaders, host Jeff Cohn sits down with Dr. Bradley Schlaggar — physician, neuroscientist, and President and CEO of the Kennedy Krieger Institute in Baltimore, one of the world's premier institutions for children and young adults with disorders of the brain and nervous system.Brad's path to leadership began with a lifelong obsession with the developing brain, an MD and PhD from Washington University, and nearly two decades on the faculty building a celebrated research career. But it was a series of deeply personal crucible experiences — the loss of his sister and father to cancer, his own emergency heart surgery, his wife's breast cancer diagnosis, and his son Simeon's four-year battle with leukemia — that forged his most important leadership qualities. Those experiences gave Brad something no training program could: a profound, bone-deep empathy for the families sitting across from him, and a servant leader's instinct to make space for others rather than occupy it himself.That empathy and humility are not incidental to how Kennedy Krieger works — they are the foundation of it. Brad has built a culture where world-class specialists in neurology, psychiatry, behavioral health, and education are not just housed under one roof but genuinely work together, centered entirely on the patient and family in front of them. In this conversation, Brad takes us inside that culture — how it is built, how it is sustained, and why true interdisciplinary care produces outcomes that siloed systems simply cannot.He also speaks with remarkable candor about what parents of children with autism and developmental differences actually need, what the system consistently gets wrong, and what business leaders with real capital and influence can do right now to move the needle for these families — inside their companies and in their communities.This episode will resonate deeply with any parent who has ever sat in a waiting room terrified, and with any leader who has learned — the hard way — that the most powerful thing you can do is get out of the way of the people around you.www.imperfectleaders.com
Send us Fan MailFor most small businesses, health insurance is their second or third largest expense. And they usually find out what it's going to cost them two to three weeks before renewal.In this clip from our episode “Why Health Insurance Needs Transparency”, host John Driscoll and Ty Wang, Co-Founder and CEO of Angle Health, break down why unpredictable premium increases make it nearly impossible for small businesses to plan, and why the market has accepted this as normal for far too long.Listen to the full episode here
In this episode, hosts Drs. Maya Hunt, Nicole Santucci, Bryanna Stukes and Zoe Zhou explore the parallels between the literacy crisis in America and current challenges in surgical education, drawing insights from the podcast "Sold a Story." They discuss how both systems advance learners without true competency, blame struggling students rather than examining flawed teaching methods, and look to the promise of competency-based education as a path forward. Beyond surgical training, they examine how declining literacy rates will directly impact how we communicate with and care for our future patients.Episode Hosts:–Dr. Maya Hunt, Indiana Universitymayahunt@iu.edu-Dr. Nicole Santucci, Washington University in St. Louissnicole@wustl.edu-Dr. Bryanna Stukes, UT Southwesternbryanna.stukes@UTSouthwestern.edu-Dr. Nanruoyi (Zoe) Zhou, Weill Cornell Medicinezhoun1@mskcc.org–CoSEF: @surgedfellows, cosef.org References:1.

Send us Fan MailNearly half of all Americans get their health insurance through a small business. Most of those businesses have no idea why their premiums go up every year and no real power to do anything about it.Ty Wang, Co-Founder and CEO of Angle Health, joins host John Driscoll to discuss why legacy insurers benefit from keeping small businesses in the dark on costs, and how rebuilding the health plan stack from the ground up on modern, AI-native infrastructure is finally making transparency and customization possible for the employers who have always needed it most.
Universities tried to be all things to all people. That model may not be working anymore. Adam Harris is joined by Ian Bogost, Atlantic contributing writer and a professor at Washington University in St. Louis, to discuss the state of higher education. On campuses across the country, students are graduating into a job market with questions on their mind. What kind of career is stable in 2026? Will AI make it even harder to get an entry-level job? Was my education worth all the money it cost? For universities that are already facing federal funding cuts and enrollment declines, the identity crisis their graduates are facing is an extension of their own: Is the purpose of college just to get a good job, or is there more to it? Colleges have been in rough spots before, but is it finally time to start rethinking their entire model? - - - Get more from your favorite Atlantic voices when you subscribe.

The “St. Louis Morning Brief” opens with a case in St. Charles County where Maria Cruz Cortez has pleaded guilty to helping an undocumented worker obtain fake immigration documents and Social Security credentials to work at the Golden Apple Buffet, tying into a larger discussion about a September raid that uncovered 44 undocumented individuals living across two homes. Marc argues the case highlights broader issues of illegal immigration enforcement, employer accountability, and labor exploitation, while noting uncertainty about the current status of those detained. The focus then shifts to St. Louis County politics, where Prosecuting Attorney Melissa Price Smith has recused her office from a referral involving County Executive Sam Page over allegations tied to working multiple jobs in violation of county rules. The case is expected to be handled through outside prosecutorial assignment via Katherine Hanaway's office to avoid conflicts of interest. The segment closes on a tragic local story in Florissant involving a three-year-old who fatally shot himself after gaining access to a loaded firearm in a home where the father was reportedly intoxicated, prompting discussion about parental responsibility and gun safety laws. The hour briefly ends with a note that Washington University in St. Louis received a $200 million donation for its new School of Public Health, alongside skepticism from the hosts about oversight and institutional direction in higher education.

On a rainy day in 1947, a scrappy alley cat walked into the Hamilton Hotel in St. Louis. Two days later, he made national news for beating his pedigreed peers to win prizes at the Greater St. Louis Cat Club Show. The cat's story is the subject of a new classical composition that will be performed this weekend by the Metropolitan Orchestra of St. Louis alongside a concurrent reading of the children's book, “How Mr. Silver Stole the Show.” Author Kate Klise, composer and Mizzou professor Stefan Freund, and Metropolitan Orchestra of St. Louis principal conductor Roger Kaza, talk with us about Mr. Silver's story and the art it inspired. The performance takes place at 3 p.m. on May 17 at Washington University's E. Desmond Lee Concert Hall.
Medicaid reimbursements are shrinking, providers are pulling back, and vulnerable populations are losing access to care. Akido Labs is betting that AI can expand care capacity fast enough to reverse that trend.This week, Halle sits down with Prashant Samant, co-founder and CEO of Akido Labs, to discuss what it actually takes to scale care with AI. They explore why Akido built a full-stack healthcare company, how its AI operates inside real clinical workflows, and why the hardest patients are the best place to test whether this model works.We cover:Why he chose to build a full-stack care modelHow AI changes who can deliver care, and whereWhy most healthcare AI tools fail once they hit real clinical workflowsWhy the doctor shortage cannot be solved by training more doctorsHow the bottleneck in healthcare AI is absorption, not innovationAbout our guest:Prashant S. Samant is CEO and co-founder of Akido, a healthcare technology company that builds clinical AI and operates a multi-state medical network serving hundreds of thousands of patients.

In this week's episode of The Learning Curve, co-hosts Prof. Albert Cheng of the University of Arkansas and Center for Strong Public Schools' Alisha Searcy speak with Gerald Early, Merle Kling Professor of Modern Letters at Washington University in St. Louis, and author of Play Harder: The Triumph of Black Baseball in America. He shares how his background and education fueled a passion to study the history of African Americans in sports and music, ultimately inspiring him to explore Black Americans in baseball. Working closely with filmmaker Ken Burns, Early described his experience working with the filmmaker on multiple high-profile documentaries to examine the role baseball and jazz music have played in shaping American culture. Switching gears to discuss his latest book, Prof. Early offered a brief overview of the highlights of Black baseball in America from after the Civil War to the turn-of-the-century. He recognized key Black entrepreneurs like Andrew “Rube” Foster, the Negro Leagues, and the players Satchel Paige, Josh Gibson, and Jackie Robinson, for their leadership in redefining the game's excellence and paving the way for other Black Americans in baseball. He discusses the significance of the Brooklyn Dodgers desegregating Major League Baseball, highlighting the talent and heroism of Jackie Robinson, and shares the legacy that Black baseball players have contributed to American sports and democracy. In closing, Early reads an excerpt from Play Harder: The Triumph of Black Baseball in America.
In this special episode of The History-Politics Podcast, we share a recording of LCHP's recent event, “Borders in Times of Instability: A Cross-Disciplinary Conversation with Luwei Ying and Hiroshi Motomura.” This conversation is a continuation of our previous episode where political scientist Luwei Ying drew upon her work as an LCHP grantee to discuss her co-authored paper "Historical Border Insecurity and the Rise of Populism." In this event, David Myers welcomes legal scholar Hiroshi Motomura to join Luwei and explore the complex role of borders in shaping politics, conflict, and belonging. Ying explains how historical border instability, especially in regions like Alsace and Eastern Europe, have had long-term effects on the populations of these regions, including decreased trust in the government and greater support for populism. She also examines modern border fortifications, showing that while walls may reduce nearby cross-border violence, their overall effectiveness is mixed, as militant groups often adapt their strategies. Motomura expands the discussion by reframing borders as more than physical lines, emphasizing their legal and social functions in defining inclusion and exclusion. Hiroshi Motomura is the Susan Westerberg Prager Distinguished Professor of Law at the UCLA School of Law and the Faculty Co-Director of the UCLA Center for Immigration Law and Policy. He is a scholar of citizenship and immigration, influencing across a range of academic disciplines as well as federal, states, and local policy making. He has written multiple award-winning books including Americans in Waiting: The Lost Story of Immigration and Citizenship in the United States (Oxford 2006) and Borders and Belonging: Toward a Fair Immigration Policy (Oxford 2025). He is also the co-host of the podcast series: Unsettled: Immigration in Turbulent Times. For his collaboration on an overview of U.S. immigration law, see The Try Guys Try Immigrating to America.Luwei Ying is an Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of California, Los Angeles. She received her Ph.D. in political science at Washington University in St. Louis in 2022. She received the 2022 Peace Science Society Walter Isard Award for the best dissertation in Peace Science. Her work has been awarded the Best Paper in International Relations Award, the Pi Sigma Alpha Award for the best paper presented at the 2019 MPSA Conference, and the Best Poster Award at the PolMeth XXXVII Summer Meeting. Her published work has appeared in American Political Science Review, Political Analysis and the Journal of Conflict Resolution.

In this episode of the DocPreneur Leadership Podcast, host Michael Tetreault sits down with Alex Muckerman, Senior Manager at ECG Management Consultants, for a candid, strategy-first conversation about how health systems are thinking about — and in some cases, finally acting on — concierge and membership-based medicine as a legitimate service line. Alex brings a rare combination of management consulting rigor and deep operational knowledge of the concierge medicine landscape. He's worked with health systems and medical groups across the country, designing and implementing customized concierge and direct primary care models that are built to last — not just to check a box. In this conversation, we cover: Why more health systems are taking concierge medicine seriously right now What a well-designed concierge medicine service line actually looks like How to align a concierge model with your organization's broader ambulatory strategy The common mistakes health systems make when entering this space What physicians inside large systems need to understand about this shift And what the evolving primary care market means for the future of relationship-based medicine Whether you're a physician entrepreneur, a practice leader, or a health system executive, this is a conversation worth your time. ABOUT ALEX MUCKERMAN Alex Muckerman is a Senior Manager at ECG Management Consultants, a national leader in healthcare business strategy and one of the most respected management consulting firms in the industry. Alex brings more than eight years of combined experience across ambulatory strategy, medical group operations, provider compensation, revenue cycle management, and concierge medicine practice model development. He specializes in conducting data-driven ambulatory enterprise performance evaluations and has led practice assessments and financial turnaround initiatives for organizations ranging from large, multispecialty health system–owned medical groups to small independent practices. He has extensive expertise in concierge medicine service line development and implementation, and is recognized for his ability to design customized concierge and direct primary care business models that meet patient demand while generating sustainable financial returns. Alex holds an MBA in Healthcare Management, Strategy, and Consulting from Washington University in St. Louis — Olin Business School, and previously served as a consultant at Booz Allen Hamilton, where he worked with the Veterans Health Administration on clinical and financial systems development. He is a thoughtful voice on how health systems can approach membership-based medicine not as a trend — but as a strategic imperative. CONNECT WITH ALEX MUCKERMAN & ECG

When you buy fruits and vegetables, how much pesticide residue is actually on them? Is it something you should worry about—or not? And does buying organic really make a meaningful difference? Recent findings offer some answers that may surprise you. https://www.consumerreports.org/health/food-contaminants/produce-without-pesticides-a5260230325/ We tend to believe that hard work and good decisions determine how life turns out. But luck and random chance play a much bigger role than most people realize. From career paths to relationships to financial success, unexpected events often shape outcomes in powerful ways. Mark Robert Rank, professor at Washington University in St. Louis and author of The Random Factor: How Chance and Luck Profoundly Shape Our Lives and the World Around Us (https://amzn.to/3W1mDb4), explains how luck operates in everyday life—and how understanding it can help you better navigate uncertainty and make smarter choices. Every living thing ages—but not at the same rate. Some organisms live for just days, while others survive for centuries. What determines how quickly we age? And is it possible to slow the process in humans? Venki Ramakrishnan, Nobel Prize-winning molecular biologist and author of Why We Die (https://amzn.to/49KII0z), explains what science has uncovered about aging, why it happens, and what current research suggests about extending healthy lifespan. You've heard the advice to stop and smell the roses—but there may be something else just as powerful you're overlooking. Paying attention to certain everyday sounds could have a surprisingly positive effect on how you feel. https://www.treehugger.com/why-do-birds-sing-5179422 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS POCKET HOSE: For a limited time, when you purchase a new Pocket Hose Ballistic, you'll get a FREE 360 degree rotating pocket pivot and a FREE thumb drive nozzle!

For the 45th episode of Reading the Art World, host Megan Fox Kelly speaks with William E. Wallace, an internationally recognized authority on Michelangelo, about his new book “Michelangelo and Titian: A Tale of Rivalry and Genius,” published by Princeton University Press.The book makes a case scholars have long resisted: that the forty-year rivalry between Michelangelo and Titian was genuinely reciprocal. Wallace shows that Michelangelo—far from the untouchable master receiving Titian's admiration from a distance—was the first to encounter Titian's work, the first to react, and in certain respects the more transformed by it. Kelly and Wallace's conversation covers the two artists' actual meetings: Venice in 1529, Rome in 1545; the encounter at Alfonso d'Este's studiolo in Ferrara, where Michelangelo came face to face with Titian's mythological paintings and responded by producing the most erotic work of his career; and the role of Pietro Aretino—Titian's closest friend and, as Wallace puts it, the social media champion of the Renaissance—in shaping and publicizing the rivalry's terms.The episode closes on the two Pietàs: one by each artist, produced in old age, in which competition gives way to something closer to mutual recognition.For anyone interested in Renaissance art, the history of artistic rivalry, or how reputation is made and managed across a lifetime, this episode is essential listening.ABOUT THE AUTHOR William E. Wallace is the Barbara Murphy Bryant Distinguished Professor of Art History at Washington University in St. Louis. He is the author and editor of nine books on Michelangelo, has consulted for the Vatican on the cleaning of the Sistine Chapel ceiling, and has served as a principal consultant for three BBC television programmes on Michelangelo. He is the recipient of fellowships at Villa I Tatti, Harvard University's Center for Italian Renaissance Studies, and the American Academy in Rome.PURCHASE THE BOOK https://press.princeton.edu/books/hardcover/9780691266572/michelangelo-and-titianSUBSCRIBE, FOLLOW AND HEAR INTERVIEWS:For more information, visit meganfoxkelly.com, hear our past interviews, and subscribe at the bottom of our Of Interest page for new posts.Follow us on Instagram: @meganfoxkelly"Reading the Art World" is a podcast featuring live interviews with leading authors and writers on important new art books.

In this episode of the History-Politics Podcast, host David Myers speaks with UCLA political scientist Luwei Ying about her research linking historical border instability to the contemporary rise of populist politics. Drawing on her work as a Luskin Center for History and Policy grantee and the report she co-authored with David B. Carter and Sadaf Vafa, Luwei explains that regions which experienced repeated shifts in sovereignty, such as areas between France and Germany or territories historically contested in Eastern Europe, often developed weaker state institutions and lower levels of public trust. By combining historical border data stretching back to the thirteenth century with modern electoral patterns, the research finds that communities with long histories of unstable authority are more likely to exhibit skepticism toward government and support populist movements.The conversation emphasizes that border instability does not directly produce a particular ideology, such as fascism or populism, but instead fosters long-term receptivity to anti-establishment politics. According to Luwei, globalization, immigration, and economic shocks may act as contemporary triggers, yet their effects vary depending on the historical institutional foundations of a region. Where governance has historically been fragile, such pressures are more likely to intensify distrust in political elites. Read the full report here: Historical Border Insecurity and the Rise of PopulismLuwei Ying is an Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of California, Los Angeles. She received her Ph.D. in political science at Washington University in St. Louis in 2022. Ying studies international relations, examining how militant organizations propagate ideologies to mobilize, recruit, and exercise control over individual members and how these ideological strategies fit into the groups' broader military agendas. She received the 2022 Peace Science Society Walter Isard Award for the best dissertation in Peace Science. Her work has been awarded the Best Paper in International Relations Award, the Pi Sigma Alpha Award for the best paper presented at the 2019 MPSA Conference, and the Best Poster Award at the PolMeth XXXVII Summer Meeting. Her published work has appeared in American Political Science Review, Political Analysis and the Journal of Conflict Resolution.

There are several reasons why I became Catholic. And even more reasons why becoming Catholic was the best decision I made for myself and my family. I was NEVER going to become Catholic One of the biggest fights my husband and I ever had was over faith when we were dating. It almost ended our relationship. I was intrigued by becoming Catholic During college, several of my friends were Catholic. The Newman Center for the hospital complex and for college students at Washington University was across the street. There was not a Lutheran church within walking distance, and I didn't want to go alone. I also wanted to sleep in on Sunday morning or work. So, I went to the Saturday evening Catholic mass with my friends. Faith that floundered Throughout college, my faith was hot and cold. Then I met my husband. The biggest fight The lack of what we needed When my husband was asked to move to the East Coast for his job, we had to start the church search all over again. It was years of searching. Then, football saved the day. Then, a God wink. About a week into playing for the CYO team, we were told that our son had to be in CCD to play. This was a new rule. Several of the kids in the league had to join CCD or leave the league. I am a challenger by nature. If you are on my email list, you already know that part of my identity is being a challenger. And I set out to challenge the deacon teaching the RCIA classes. What I learned about becoming Catholic Why I became Catholic By becoming Catholic, I grew closer to Jesus. A relationship that I had not previously developed. My trust grew. I discovered the Holy Spirit and developed a new understanding of grace and mercy. The eucharist became a lifeline of forgiveness, for myself and for me to be able to forgive others. I healed from past traumas and grew in my ability to share my faith with others. Even after 15 years in the Catholic church, I feel like a young Catholic. There is more I could say about why I became Catholic, but the reality is that it has been a life-changing journey, a healing journey, and an opportunity for our family to grow together in our faith and become stronger because of it. No judgement I hope that this has clarified a few items about the Catholic faith. If you want to learn more, please share your questions with me. If I don't have the answers, I will get them for you. I can also recommend an incredible resource, Lisa Brenninkmeyer, founder of Walking with Purpose and a fellow convert, and Jeff Cavins, a convert and Catholic educator and evangelist. It is important for me to emphasize that I believe Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior, that the Bible is the inerrant word of God, and that it does not change with time or science. In fact, I believe that science is just now catching up with Scripture, and that when we lean into Scripture, our lives are changed and God opens doors we could never have imagined. It's when we lean into Scripture and have a relationship with the triune God that we heal from past wounds and traumas and can break through anxiety-driven behaviors and live in the purpose God has for us. His redemption is how we are delivered from perfectionism, the need to control, fear, and people-pleasing. What a blessing! Read the full show notes and access all links.

Alongside the oil and gas stranded in the strait of Hormuz is another commodity vital to today's economy: helium. It is a critical element in all kinds of areas from MRI machines to the Large Hadron Collider, and even deep-sea diving. It is also integral to the AI boom. And this isn't the first time its fragile global supply chain has been threatened. So why is helium so useful, and what will happen if the shortage continues?

Join hosts J.D. Barker, Christine Daigle, Jena Brown, J.P. Rindfleisch, and Kevin Tumlinson as they discuss the week's entertainment news, including stories about Audible, querying writers, and Dan Brown. Then, stick around for a chat with Evelyn Clarke (V.E. Schwab and Cat Clarke)! V. E .Schwab was born in California, raised in Tennessee, and currently splits her time between Denver, Colorado and Edinburgh, Scotland. She got her undergraduate degree in book design at Washington University in St. Louis, and her masters in depictions of monstrosity in medieval art at the University of Edinburgh. In addition to writing books and hosting a podcast called No Write Way, she spends her time on tour, or plagued by the knowledge of how short life is, in terms of the number of books she'll be able to read, and obsessively saving tiktok videos for recipes she'll probably never make. She also likes to run, and cycle, and swim—though not all at once. V.E. is the author of more than 25 books, spanning MG, YA, and Adult, though she's never been keen on labeling stories for a certain audience. Plenty of young readers like Vicious, and plenty of older ones like Cassidy Blake, and she believes the best story is the one that finds you when you need it. Her greatest goal as an author is to make you doubt your reality. Not by convincing you that magic is real, but by planting a seed of doubt that it's not. Cat Clarke was born in Zambia and brought up in Edinburgh and Yorkshire, which has given her an accent that tends to confuse people. Cat has written non-fiction books about exciting things like cowboys, sharks and pirates, and now writes YA novels. She lives in Edinburgh with a couple of cats, Jem and Scout, who spend their days plotting to spit up furballs at the most inconvenient times. She likes cheese A LOT, especially baked camembert.

During “Kim on a Whim,” Kim St. Onge and Marc Cox react to the University of Missouri ending direct funding for minority student organizations including the Legion of Black Collegians and the Association of Latin American Students, which collectively received about $140,000. The change follows federal guidance tied to Pam Bondi warning universities about funding tied to protected characteristics, prompting schools like Washington University in St. Louis to adjust DEI programs. The hosts debate “safe spaces,” question preferential funding, and argue student groups should compete equally for limited funds moving forward. The segment closes with commentary on how universities may restructure DEI programs while maintaining similar initiatives under new labels.

You've probably heard that medications like Ritalin, Adderall, or Vyvanse simply "fix" your attention. But what if I told you that most of what you think you know about how these meds work is actually wrong—or at least seriously incomplete? Understanding why neurodiversity is good for business starts with accurate information about how our brains actually function—including the real science behind ADHD medication.In this episode, we'll unpack new, game-changing scientific research that reveals what stimulants are truly doing in your brain. Spoiler: they're not just fixing your attention networks.We'll explore how these meds boost arousal and make boring business tasks feel more worth doing, why sleep is a critical performance variable, and what all of this means for structuring your workflows and managing your expectations as a business owner with ADHD.Whether you're taking medication, considering it, or just plain curious, this episode will help you understand the real role of stimulants in your entrepreneurial journey—and give you practical strategies to work with your brain.For years, we've been told stimulants “fix” our faulty attention networks. But new research out of Washington University just flipped that script—and it has huge implications for how we work, rest, and structure our businesses. This research on the attention mechanism in neural networks reveals that ADHD medication works differently than we thought.3 Key Takeaways:Stimulants = Wakefulness + Salience boost: They don't “fix” your attention span—they make your brain more awake (like a great night's sleep) and make boring tasks feel more worth doing.Sleep is a performance variable, not optional: Meds can mask sleep deprivation, but can't fix it. If you're hitting a wall by afternoon, it's likely a sleep issue, not a “bad brain” or “bad med” issue.Build your business around your real needs: Use your medicated hours for tedious-but-critical tasks, create systems that connect daily actions to meaningful outcomes, and get super-specific in conversations about what “isn't working”—the answer isn't always a higher dose.Resources Mentioned in the Episode: Study in Cell MagazineAbout the Host, Diann Wingert:Diann Wingert is the creator and host of ADHDish, a podcast that explores the realities of living with ADHD, especially for entrepreneurs and business owners.

Marc Cox highlights the tragic death of former KSDK multimedia journalist Casey Grelle, who was killed when a tourist bus overturned in the mountains of Peru during a family trip originating from Nicaragua. Cox and Dan Buck discuss the crash that left multiple passengers dead and injured, including Grelle's son, who was airlifted back to the United States in critical condition. The segment also notes her career shift from television reporting to launching a successful digital company after earning an MBA from Washington University in St. Louis, while raising concerns about limited media coverage, potential liability for the tour company, and a GoFundMe shared by former colleague Casey Nolen to support the family amid mounting medical and financial challenges.

On this episode of Unsupervised Learning, Razib talks to Mike White, a Genetics professor at the Washington University in St. Louis. White has a position at the School of Medicine in St. Louis, where he leads a research team focused on understanding the biophysical architecture of regulatory DNA. He earned a B.A. in music before pivoting to the sciences, receiving his Ph.D. in Biochemistry from the University of Rochester in 2006 and completing a postdoctoral fellowship at Wash U under Dr. Barak Cohen. White's work combines functional genomics, synthetic biology, computational biology, and deep learning to decipher how cells interpret regulatory sequences. His lab aims to predict how non-coding genetic variations impact complex human traits and disease risk, while exploring how to apply transcriptional circuits for broader applications in health and agriculture. Razib first talks to White about the cultural, political and social winds moving through academia since 2010. How did academic science become so politically polarized, and what significance does it have for future funding streams? White brings his insights from the viewpoint of someone whose perch is in a medical school, and so somewhat at the margins of the cultural revolution sweeping through academia and even STEM. He notes it seems that the activist high tide peaked around 2020, though the hostility between the Right and institutional academia continues unabated, affecting NIH funding. Then White discusses where we are in terms of understanding gene regulation, and its importance in biological function. Razib and White review how almost 99% of the human genome does not code for proteins, so often it is called "junk DNA," but the reality is that there are other functions in that region, first and foremost, regulating and modifying protein expressing regions. Razib asks White where we are in human genomics more than 25 years after the draft, has it lived up to expectations? And where we are going in the future?

We live in a world that wants life to be fair. Work hard, make good choices, believe the right things—and things should turn out okay. But what happens when they don’t? In this live conversation, Kate talks with sociologist Mark Rank, author of The Random Factor, about the role of chance in our lives. From the lottery of birth to the timing of a missed phone call, Mark’s research shows how much of what we call success—or failure—comes down to forces we never chose.
