Once known as "The Land of a Million Elephants", only an estimated 800 elephants remain in Laos, as deforestation and exploitation push the species closer than ever to the brink of extinction. Despite the dwindling numbers, a Frenchwoman has made it her mission to give ageing elephants a new home, buying them from their abusive owners. Our France 2 colleagues report, with FRANCE 24's Andrew Hilliar.

Every summer, large sacks of caterpillar silk appear in trees across much of North America. They’re the communal home of Fall Webworms, and they’re not pretty - full of caterpillars, their poop (frass), and dead leaves. But, y’know, those sacks are full of something else - fascinating nature facts! And in this episode, Bill and Steve dive into the messy but engrossing world of Fall Webworms (they put the gross into engrossing).This episode was recorded at Taylor Road Park in Hamburg, NY on September

Guest: Benjamin Lee, M.D. Guest: Jeffrey Port, M.D. Guest: Jonathan Villena-Vargas, M.D. Surgeons at NewYork-Presbyterian and Weill Cornell Medicine are advancing the use of single-port robotics for complex thoracic surgery. While multiport robotic surgery requires 4-5 incisions around the ribs, the single-port platform uses one incision through the diaphragm, improving surgery success and reducing recovery time. By being an early adopter, the center at NewYork-Presbyterian and

Host: Charles Turck, PharmD, BCPS, BCCCP Guest: John A. Scolaro, MD MA For anticoagulated patients with orthopedic or trauma fractures, delaying surgery to reduce bleeding risk may carry its own consequences. Join Dr. Charles Turck and Dr. John Scolaro as they explore how factors like surgical approaches, anticoagulation indications, comorbidities, transfusion-related risks, and physiologic reserve inform reversal decisions and discuss why multidisciplinary communication and timely

Guest: John Cho, MD, PhD, FRCPC Could lower doses of radiation help optimize immune response in mesothelioma? Dr. John Cho joins us to explain how tailoring radiation to a tumor’s inflammatory and immunogenic characteristics could help modulate antitumor immunity while reducing the potential for fibrosis and treatment-related toxicity. Dr. Cho is a radiation oncologist at the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre and an Associate Professor in the Department of Radiation Oncology at the

Guest: Angel Qin, MD The treatment landscape for ALK+ metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (mNSCLC) is continuing to evolve, with durable outcomes from frontline ALK inhibition and emerging therapies offering new possibilities across disease settings. Join Dr. Angel Qin, Clinical Associate Professor of Internal Medicine at the University of Michigan Medical School, as she examines the evidence on current and emerging treatment options for this population.

Guest: Angel Qin, MD Even with increasingly effective targeted therapies for ALK+ metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (mNSCLC), unanswered questions remain, especially when a patient's disease progresses or treatment becomes difficult to tolerate. In this program, Dr. Angel Qin looks beyond current care strategies to consider where the field is headed, from overcoming resistance to investigating entirely different ways of extending disease control. Dr. Qin is a Clinical Associate

Guest: Angel Qin, MD Checkpoint inhibitors have shown limited efficacy in ALK+ metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (mNSCLC), but could a different immunologic strategy complement targeted therapy? Dr. Angel Qin discusses the rationale for ALK vaccines and explains how harnessing an ALK-specific immune response may help extend the durability of ALK TKI therapy. She's a Clinical Associate Professor of Internal Medicine at the University of Michigan Medical School.
