  • サマリー

  • “At what age should I get a colonoscopy?” “Will this treatment help me, and what are the side effects?” This is where medical evidence comes in. It is our time machine, our crystal ball. We take learnings from the past - experiences of generations of people who came before us, and their medical providers - and use those learnings to support our beliefs about the future. Evidence is nonpartisan and not controversial. We all need to dig deeper. Not stopping at our beliefs, but trying to understand what justifies our beliefs - that's what evidence is. It's a language we all need to learn - "The Language of Evidence." Why is modern medicine so expensive? How do we address horrific disparities in care? How do we choose the right diet and exercise for us and our loved ones? How do we think about Indigenous, Complementary and Alternative medicine? And critically, how do we collaborate with our healthcare providers - how to prepare for office visits, what questions to ask, how to grapple with limitations of medical knowledge, and how to be better advocates for ourselves and our families. Finally, the healthcare community itself - both the “generators of evidence,” i.e. clinical research professionals, and “consumers of evidence,” healthcare workers - will be curious about the history and the future of this field. In this Podcast, we will attempt to engage, include and reconcile. Maybe one trusts science, maybe one does not. Maybe one believes that misinformation is spread by social media, or maybe by the government. And yes, there is a call to action. Status quo is not acceptable. Care gaps are too wide, and largely unknown. Misunderstanding and mistrust run deep. Healthcare experts and nonexperts alike will be captivated by a unifying solution so simple yet profound: The Language of Evidence.

  • Can MAHA Spell The End of The Conservative Movement?

    Can MAHA Spell The End of The Conservative Movement?
    2025/03/03

    Watch on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6nmBRECzJ0

    Transcript: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vmJkAiVSrYE5x9_HcljOCwRkNAXE21Q_/view?usp=sharing

    Today’s episode will address several questions:

    (1) What is the MAHA (Make America Healthy Again) movement? We will get some insights from a recent MAHA Action press-conference and get a sense of the death and suffering that may come from MAHA policies. We will resume where we left off in Episode 1, but this episode is self-sufficient if you don’t want to go back.

    (2) What is the MAHA Commission? What are the influences from Project 2025 in it? What is Project 2025 anyway? As we will discuss, Project 2025 is the latest edition of a decades-long conservative strategy spearheaded by the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank. But – they are not the only influence – there is also America First Policy Institute. And how does Kennedy’s MAHA fit into all of this? Were these conservative think tanks looking for Kennedy to be the secretary of HHS? Or were they as surprised as the rest of us?

    (3) And what if this MAHA commission, and Kennedy’s MAHA agenda overall, does not end well – for patients, for science, and for the conservative movement in particular.

    Today we will hear some of these answers from my recent conversation with Ed Fuelner, the Founder and CEO of the Heritage Foundation from 1979 to 2013.

    Roots of the current crisis of science in the US: A conversation with Dr Stephan Lewandowsky

    We have an amazing guest today - Dr Stephan Lewandowsky, a leading cognitive scientist and an expert on misinformation. We will examine the roots of our current crisis of science in the US, and its implications for the future.

    Professor Stephan Lewandowsky is the Chair of Cognitive Psychology at the University of Bristol in the UK. His research examines the consequences of the clash between social media architectures and human cognition, for example by researching countermeasures to the persistence of misinformation and spread of “fake news” in society, including conspiracy theories, and how platform algorithms may contribute to the prevalence of misinformation. He is also interested in the variables that determine whether or not people accept scientific evidence, for example surrounding vaccinations or climate science.

    Our conversation touches on Dr Lewandowsky's career journey, his current work and what it means to be a cognitive scientist. We talk about the current US administration and the crisis of science, implications for the future, and some novel research directions that give him hope.
