Hoxe falamos con Mabel Rivera de "A LOITA FINAL" Documental que mostra todos os datos do impacto que tería a implantación da fábrica de celulosa, promovida por Altri e Greenalia, na comarca da Ulloa. Producido por Mabel Rivera. Dirixido por Enrique Banet. Ver documental "A LOITA FINAL" : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3SrH-mFJ1tE Máis documentais: https://www.youtube.com/@Fundaci%C3%B3nGaliciaVerde "O que facemos neste documental é informar. Nese sentido o considero moi necesario porque hai cantidade de aspetos dentro do proxecto de ALTRI absolutamente fundamentais e totalmente descoñecidos". "Hai cantidade de información que se está tapando e non son cuestións opinables, son cuestións totalmente rigorosas que teñen que ver con estudios científicos. Porque tivemos a gran sorte de poder contar con moitos e moitas profesionais das distintas áreas que estarían implicadas e afectadas pola implantación dese proxecto". A finais de 2022 empezouse a coñecer un proxecto de fabricación da fibra semi-sintética lyocell coñecido como Proxecto GAMA. Ao pouco, foi transcendendo que do que se trataba en realidade era da instalación dunha gran planta de celulosa nunha área próxima a Palas de Rei, o que creu alarma en principio entre a veciñanza da zona pero que rapidamente se foi extendendo ao longo de todo o río Ulla e ao resto de Galicia. Neste documental analizamos os posibles efectos que unha instalación destas características poderían exercer sobre todos os aspectos que se verían implicados, e facémolo coa intervención de investigadores especializados en cada unha destas áreas, así como de veciñas e profesionais.

In this compelling episode, we sit down with Mohamad Saad, MD, MBA, CPE, an internal medicine physician, healthcare leader, and certified coach, to explore solutions for two of healthcare's most pressing challenges: workforce disengagement and physician burnout. With 70% of employees disengaged and burnout at crisis levels, Saad presents a data-driven approach to organizational alignment and coaching that can revolutionize healthcare leadership. Why it matters: Burnout and disengagement don't just affect morale — they impact outcomes. Engaged employees are 1.5x more productive, and inspired employees are 2.25x more productive. Saad's alignment framework connects organizational vision and goals to frontline work, creating purpose-driven teams that thrive. Key Insights: - The alignment triangle: How cascading vision → mission → goals → SMART objectives → projects, drives measurable improvements. - Three types of alignment: Vertical (vision to frontline), horizontal (cross-departmental), and diagonal (interdisciplinary connections). - Coaching vs. directing: Why empathetic listening and powerful questions unlock potential better than traditional leadership. - AI's role in healthcare: How artificial intelligence will amplify emotionally intelligent physicians while challenging those still developing intrinsic skills. Real-world results: As a residency program director, Saad aligned resident quality improvement projects with hospital operational goals, significantly reducing length-of-stay for heart failure, pneumonia, and COPD patients. Bottom line: Healthcare leaders need tools like organizational alignment and coaching to combat burnout, inspire teams, and prepare for the future. Saad's insights offer actionable strategies for creating engaged, purpose-driven organizations.

Healthcare is changing faster than ever, but it is not just about new technology. It is about patients becoming active, equal partners in their own care. In this episode, Mike Sacopulos sits down with Bertalan Mesko, PhD, director of The Medical Futurist Institute and author of The Guide to the Future of Medicine, Technology, and the Human Touch, to explore how patient empowerment is reshaping the future of medicine. Mesko explains why the biggest shift in modern healthcare is not AI or digital tools — it is the idea of patients becoming “members of their own medical team” and working side-by-side with their doctors. He shares practical advice for policymakers, healthcare professionals, and patients on how to navigate this new era, from mastering AI tools to building stronger doctor-patient relationships. Key topics include: - Why patients are the most underutilized resource in healthcare - The importance of starting with partnerships, not technology - Predictions for remote care and the challenges ahead - Surprising insights into skills doctors will need in the future (hint: it involves AI prompts!) This episode is packed with thought-provoking ideas about the evolving doctor-patient relationship and what it means for the future of primary care. Tune in to hear Mesko's vision for a healthcare system that puts patients at the center, and why he believes medical future studies should become a scientific discipline.

In this episode of SoundPractice, host Mike Sacopulos sits down with Peter Hotez, MD, PhD, professor of pediatrics and molecular virology, Baylor College of Medicine and the co-author of the new book (with Michael Mann) Science Under Siege: How to Fight the Five Most Powerful Forces that Threaten Our World. Hotez pulls back the curtain on the alarming rise of anti-science movements that are costing lives and threatening public health. From vaccine misinformation that led to 200,000 preventable COVID deaths in America to a tragic measles outbreak fueled by unvaccinated populations, he reveals the five powerful forces driving the war on science: - Plutocrats: Wealthy donors funding anti-science think tanks. - Petro-states: Governments opposing climate and health science for profit. - Pros: Credentialed experts pushing contrarian agendas. - Propagandists: Media amplifying misinformation. - Press: Outlets promoting false "both sides" narratives. Hotez also traces the evolution of the anti-vaccine movement, from debunked autism claims to today's wellness influencers profiting off pseudoscience. He challenges medical professionals to embrace the "art" of medicine and step up as defenders of scientific truth. His call to action is clear: silence and invisibility allow bad actors to win. Physicians remain heroes on the frontlines, but they must help turn the tide against misinformation. This must-listen episode is for anyone passionate about science, medicine, and the fight for public health.

I have always found it amusing that the canonical story of technology disruption had nothing to do with silicon, PCs, SaaS, or AI. It involved steel. The late great Clayton Christensen mentioned the minimills in his 1997 book, the Innovator's Dilemma. He wrote that minimill steelmaking was a disruptive technology, one that emerged like the Mongols to take down a complacent empire. Was that what really happened? The whole thing has always fascinated me. In today's video, the conquest of the minimills. A story of pure disruption.
