In the In Conversation With series, a part of the free DDW podcast, DDW speaks with members of the drug discovery industry about their work and how it helps turn science into business.    In this episode, Megan Thomas is in conversation with Dr Emil Lou, Professor of Hematology and Oncology at the University of Minnesota. They discuss the promising results of a recent clinical trial he led focused on gastrointestinal cancers, the potential impact of continued clinical success on the future of these hard-to-treat cancers, and the key challenges that must be addressed to sustain progress. Dr Lou also explores the evolving role of multiplexed gene editing in tackling immunosuppressive or heterogeneous solid tumours, the complexities of forging academia-industry partnerships to support early-phase innovation, and the scientific breakthroughs he believes will shape the next five years in cancer research.

Come join us at the Jensen Dental (https://jensendental.com/) booth during the FDLA Southern States Symposium & Expo (https://www.fdla.net/attendee-information) - June 13-14 at Signia by Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek in Orlando, FL Register today at: FDLA.NET Back in March, Barb & Elvis traveled all the way to Cologne, Germany to set up and record at the biggest dental show in the world, IDS (https://www.english.ids-cologne.de/). A special thanks to exocad (https://exocad.com/) for giving us the space to record so many amazing people over the course of 4 days. First up is a dentist turned exocad (https://exocad.com/) designer, Hajir Shamil. Hajir talks about dentistry in Iraq and how she went to school just outside of Russia. Going back to a country that is hard to find a practice, she goes about working at a lab and falls in love with the "purple program". Find out what she thinks of her first time at IDS and why she came. Then we chat with Daniel Portal and Gerson Prada. Daniel has a history of working with (https://exocad.com/) but eventually opened his own lab doing only designs for labs and dentists. He partnered up with Gerson Prada in Utah to do any fabricating of the cases. Together they talk about working together from a far, good communication with the doctors, Daniel being a part of exocad's "Heroes of Digital Dentistry", and what they are doing at IDS. Then we wrap up the episode with a dentist that more letters after his name than in it, Dr. Diogo Viegas. Dr. Viegas went to the Lisbon Dental School (https://www.ulisboa.pt/en/curso/mestrado-integrado/dentistry) to become a dentist. When that wasn't enough, we got his Masters. When that wasn't enough, we went back to get his degree in dental technology. Now, Dr. Viegas has a practice in Lisbon, does his own lab work, still having time to teach other clinicians, and being a member in Bio-Emulation (https://bio-emulation.com/).

Send us a textThis two-part episode of the CMAJ Podcast explores the roots and repercussions of medical mistrust. It begins with a historical lens, revealing echoes of today’s strained relationships between patients and the medical system, then narrows the scope to focus on a pressing clinical example.In part one, Dr. Kenneth Pinnow, a historian of Soviet medicine at Allegheny College and author of the article in CMAJ entitled Soviet medicine and the problem of public trust: 1921–1929, walks through the fraught relationship between physicians and the public in the early Soviet era. He explains how underfunding, class tensions, and unrealistic expectations resulted in widespread hostility toward physicians and fractured trust that proved difficult to repair.Part two narrows in on vaccine hesitancy, a timely example of medical distrust made more urgent by recent measles outbreaks. Dr. Noni MacDonald, a pediatric infectious disease specialist at Dalhousie University and former member of the WHO’s Strategic Advisory Group of Experts on Immunization, describes how trust is built—or lost—between patients and clinicians. She outlines practical strategies for frontline providers, from using presumptive language to engaging in motivational interviewing, and offers tips for addressing vaccine concerns efficiently, even in short appointments. For physicians, this episode is a reminder that trust must be earned repeatedly—through expertise, empathy, and systems that allow both to be seen.Join us as we explore medical solutions that address the urgent need to change healthcare.

Depending on what time it is, your body responds differently to an injury or infection. During the day, you're likely to heal faster and fight infection better than at night. And historically, scientists weren't entirely sure why. That picture is starting to clear up thanks to a new study published last week in the journal Science Immunology. The research finds a missing piece of the puzzle in neutrophils, powerful immune cells that — despite living less than 24 hours — know the difference between day and night.Got a question about how the body works?

Dr. Leana Wen, a health news commentator for The Washington Post and CNN, is known for trying to have an open view toward untraditional opinions. For instance, she tells “Conversations on Health Care” that the new National Institutes of Health and Food and Drug Administration directors are both “qualified individuals who have credentials from major medical institutions, who have worked in those fields.” She says her hope is that “behind the scenes they will act as tempering force… against the...
